A DELUGE IN CLEAR CRERK CANoN-A
dispatch from Denver, Col, says: Sat
midnight last Monday occurred terrific
catastrophe that has temporarily isolated
the towns up Clear Creek Canon from the
world. At that honr an immense cloud
burst near the forks of a creek pouring q
deluge of water within the barrow walls of
the canon. 1t completely demolished the
two iron railway bridges at the forks, and
as far as can be learned annihiated all the
structures 10 the vicinity. The restaurant
the depot and the outhouses were swept
away by the f3od Fortunately, it is be.
lieved, no. lives were lost. The immense
column of water laden with wreckage went
tearing down the canon with the result that
from the forks to Golden, there is scarcely
veslige OF the railroad left. The greater
portion of the roadbed ia washed away and
all means Of Communication are destroyed.
After the cioudbur5t furious hail storm set

THE HIGH license law has, apparently at
least, worked to charm in Baltimore. The
license there wss raised from $50 to $3.50,
and has given such satisfaction to brewers,
wholesale liquor men. hotel keepers, the
proprietors of reputable restaurants apd ss-
looms, and to the general taxpayers of the
city, that movement is on foot to increase
it to $500. Many low groggeries have been
closed, and the number police arrests has
been greatly diminished. a man who
thinks himself rich enough to drink liquor
should certainly not tject to paying high
price for il, and wherever tried. high license
has proved to be the most effective of all
temperance measures.

WHILE THE threat that the South will
cease buying at the North in case the FJrce
bill, which s intended to ruin the South, be
passed by the northern republican msjority
in Congress, is unwise, for several reasons,
among them the strong one that it could
never be executed, for southern merchants,
like those OF every other country, will al
WAYS buy in the most available and cheap
est markets, there Is no doubt of the fact
that the new ebullition of northern hate for
the South, as manifested in the bill referred
to, should teach the people OF the South to
strengthen their local industries as much as
possible, By buying all they can Of what is
raised and manufactured in the South.

Has No Qnarrel With Lee.

The Fredericksburg Star to-day contained
the following concerning dispatch in reie-
ton to controversy between Capt. Daniel
M. Lee and ". S. White
"Mr. w. S. Whites attention having been
called to telegram from Fredericksburg to
the Washington Post, SIS log that serious
difficulty i5 pending between Capt. Dan. NJ.
Lee and himself, requests us to say that the
Telegram is gross mistake. SO far IS MI
White knows, the relations between himself
and Capt Lee are of friendly character,
and he is conscious of having done nothing
to offend Capt Lac in any way, and that he
has not seen Captain Lee since the Stafford
court.
The following is the correspondence be
tween Capt. Lea and Col. Wolff, editor OF
the Lance, concerning the nst:er
FREDERICKSBURG, VA, July Il.
Sir I feel personally aggrieved at the editorial
that appeared in the Lance of Tuesday, and an
grossly misreprescnted in the article. therefore
demand the author of tho statement contsit cd In
the article. Respectfully, d. ~ LEE
To this Mr.. Wolff replied SIS follows:
Capt. D. II. Lee:
Dear Sir In reply to your note OF this date
demanding the auhof Of the statement contained
in the editorial to which you alludc, and 81 or
consulting the gentleman who furnished the in
formation, give you the name of w. 8. White, OF
this city. Very respectfully, JOHN W. WoLTz.
Capt. Lee asked for space in the Lance to
reply, which COL Wolz agreed to give him.
but Capt. Leo subsequently decided not 10
repy in print.
In reference to the above the Star says:
The Lance in its zeal to create discord in the
democratic party OF Stafford bee ,use ii does
not favor the denomination of Gen. VIM. Il.
F. Lee for Congress in the Eighth District,
will not see Its cherished hopes realizad.
The idea Of democrats taking the advice Of
the Lance, or allowing themselves to be il
fner ced by what il may say politically Is
absurd
