4 COLORADO FLOOD.
Much Damage at Pueblo-Floods at Other
 Points.

Points.
 PUEBLO, Col, June l.-Three lives are known to have been lost in the flood of Wednesday night, and it is barely pos sible that others have gone down to a watery grave, but the full details will not be known until the river subsidies to somewhere near its natural limits. The dead body of Barney Rafferty was found yesterday near the roadhouse, in the St. Charles, miles below the city He met his death, it is believed, while attempting to ford the Bessemer ditch.
 At 10 o'clock yesterday, in full view of 800 people, an unknown Italian about 20 years of age was drowned near the Union Pacific, Denver x Gulf railroad, within a short distance of the business center of the city.
 Four breaks in the levee of the Ar kansas river, on the north side and two on the south side, due to high wa ters caused by fierce rain, have flooded the business and resident sections of the city. At ts:lOO'clockWednesday night the fire alarm whistle sounded warn ings to the residents of the lowlands, and soon the first break occurred in the levee, on the north side just west of the Main street bridge. The water rushed in in torrents and flooded the block from the river to Richmond ave- nue, between Union avenue and Main street. Then came the other breaks, and soon all the lower bottoms of the city were under water. On South Union avenue several buildings south of street fell in, and in the Union de- pot there were feet of water in the waiting rooms.
 The flood was caused by the very ex. cessive rains in the Arkansas valley above Pueblo, which have been pre- valent for the last forty-eight hours. All houses on Third, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth streets are filled with water, varying from 2 feet to 10, according to the heights of the foundations On several streets the water is very deep and the current as swift as mill race.
 Hundreds of men are out in boats rescuing families. The loss is esti- mated at $500, 900.
 The Platte river at Denver is rising rapidly and the village of Globeville. suburb, is seriously threatened. Much damage has been done to the Rio Grande railroad between Colorado Springs and Eden. also between Col orado Springs and ManitOu. Lyons is reported under water

Iu No Danger Yet.

Father-I don't like that young man who comes to see Nellie.
 Mother-It may be nothing serious.
 ''He has been sending her flowers and bringing her confectionery for weeks"
 "Others have done that and dropped of of their own accord"
 But last night he brought her some chewing gum"
 Dear me! That looks serious. He loves her. Are you sure of it?''
 ''I saw him give her the gum, and she put it in her mouth."
 "Oh! That's all right. If she sat there and chewed gum she doesn't love him. ."-Good News.

SUGAR TRUST INQUIRY.
Senator Carlisle Appears Before the Cons
 mittee and Denies Edwards Charges.

Senator Carlisle Appears Before the Com-
 mittee and Denies Edwards Charges. WASHINGTON, June 1.-Senator Me Emerson was yesterday before the sen atorial committee to investigate the alleged interference of the sugar trust with congress and the executive de- partments. He reiterated the state ment he recently made on the floor of the senate that when it became appar- ent that sugar was to be the aubJecto or legislation he instructed his broker to cease all dealings in sugar stock Tn hls name.
 The committee also examined Sena- tors Harris and Mills and concluded tho sitting for the day with tue testi- mony of Secretary Carlisle, who denied explicitly all charges made in MT Ed- wards letter, except one. This one was the assertion that while conferring with the committee he (Carlisle) on one occasion, at the suggestion of members of the committee and using their figures, put sugar schedule into shape, as he did other paragraphs in the bill. This, the secretary said, he had done. He declared he had not made such visit as he was represented as making to the committed to demand the sugar inter- est be cared for in the tariff bill be- cause of the democratic party's obliga- tion to the sugar trust.
 The examination of Senators Harris and Mills completed the inquiry among members of the finance committee and As t,, tion of the bill. Both senators denied any knowledge of the operations of the sugar trust in connection with legisla- tion, and also denied that Mir Carlisle had demanded protection for sugar.
 Senator Mills asked if it was true, as had been reported, that Mir. Carlisle had given MT. Havemeyer, of the sugar self. He said this was fact, but he had declined to receive the letter.
 It is understood that the committee has come into possession of the name of the wire manufacturer who is repre- sented to have overheard the converse tion between senators and members of the sugar trust while occupying an ad- joining room at the Arlington hotel, and that he will be subp9naed to ap- pear and make statement.
 Vice President Stevenson has signed the certification of Schriver and Ed wards to the district attorney. This is the formal order made under the law of 1857, under which it is purposed to try to punish Edwards and Schriver for withholding names of persons giv- ing them information.

Evolution of White Custsrds.

At a cooking-school lecture, the teacher demonstrated the evolution of some white custards that should go down to posterity. They are made as follows: Break the whites of four eggs into small teacupful of granulated sugar, mixing thoroughly, but not beating the eggs. Into this is stirred, gradually, pint and half of rich milk, previously heated thoroughly, but neither scalded nor boiled. The mixture should be quite smooth before being put into the cups: if not, it should be strained Place the cups in a pan of water and cover with thick brown or buttered paper to prevent their coloring. They should be quite white when done. Bake in moderate oven,

Preserving Baby,s Firs. Shoes.

A Arecent fad among young mothers is to have baby's first shoes made objects of beauty and sentimental interest through the agency of some metal preparation that is poured over the little shoe, causing it to retain it's shape and showing all those dearlittle spots and den's, so precious in the eyes of the fond parent. An enter prising firm has hit upon this plan, and from the success they are making the idea proves itself a very popular one.

scribed.
MoRGANTowN, w. VA. April 10.
To tns Editor Of tbs Rfoisisr:
SIR:-I send you by express sample
of our English cucumbers, which have
been grown in our experiment green
houses during this winter. The seed
was sown on December 10Th, in some
pots and transplanted into permanent
beds on January 3rd. The fruit | send
you weighs two pounds and is 10 inches
long and inches in circumference.
This fruit is very little met with in
this country, because they are too ten
der for our outdoor climate. They,
however, can be made profitable in the
forcing house, and when they are once
known generally in this country, there
Is no doubt but that the demand will be
very great. Even now one paper quotes
them as selling at Sc dozen In the
East. They are easily grown and re-
Quire but little care, the main require
ment being plenty Of rich compost. At
the present time, on six vines in one OF
our houses, there is an average OF three
and a half mature fruit on each vine,
and many young and immature fruits
coming on. The vines are known to
bear as high as II fruits; however, the
average is much less. BY careful tain
ing up along the rafters of the green
house, they are kept out of the way.
The fruit send you is by no means
as large as they grow, but good aver
age specimen. If you have never seen
aud tested them, they doubtless will
prove Of interest to you.
Very sincerely,
I. WIN. RANE.
This is the cucumber referred TO In
the editorial columns Of the REGISTER
Yesterday. 1t has since been cut up
and served, and was as palatable as
