Sensational Scene in the Editorial
Rooms of a Kentucky Journal.
LOUISVILLE, May 31.-A special to the
Post from Lexington says: A most sensa-
tional and exciting scene took place to-
day in the editorial rooms of Charles c..
Moore, editor OF the Blue Grass Blade.
There were present w. c. Owens, candi-
date for Congress against Colonel Breck-
inridge; G. G.. Moore, General w. H.
Gentry and j. Walter LeaLe, a friend of
Owens and correspondent of the Post.
Owens said to Moore; II have come to
see you about the lying, scurrilous letter
which | understand you have received
from JettS Station, poStmarked George
town, in which my character is attack ed
in shameful manner. 9ou say you be-
lieve the letter to be a forgery, and yet
you will print it this afternoon in the
Blade. | have this to say: We have both
been men of peace, and / have tried to do
right. but if you publish that letter we
Will be so no longer, and you must stand
the consequences. Ii published, it will
reflect seriously on ladies Of Frank fort
and will, beside, be sent to my mother
and sisters. That 1 cannot and will not
stand. What have to say to you is that
/ have no favors to ask of you, and that
do not ask you TO defend me, but l will
not have that letter published and scat
tered broadcast when have already de-
nounced everything i'll it, and anyone
who circulates tits q liar and ascoundrel."
Moore began 10 explain that he was
doing this to defend Owens, but Owens
shut him off,, saying that he did not
want to be defended by Moore. Then
Moore asked TO be allowed to read the
letter, which he did. The letter was
dated Jetts, KY, May 9th. Moore had
headed it.: .How Bill Owens is everlast-
ingly ruined.n The letter makes grave
charges against Owens of immortality,
and is signed l.. Lucher. The postmark
is Georgetown, and the Postmaster of
that place had just come in to say that
the mark stamp was forgery. Moore
then backed down, and said if Owens
wished it he would not publish the letter.
To this Owens replied that he would say
nothing, bat that the letter had better
not be published. Moore then agreed not
to print it.
The original copy of the letter will be
placed in the hands of detective, and
the writer hunted up.

their loss at present. Tie basement is
full of water, and until the water is
pumped out even rough estimate OF
the loss cannot be given.
The Denver and Rio Grande Railroad
Company is a heavy loser. both from the
washing out of the tracks and the delay
Of trains. The train which left for the
west Wednesday noon is caught between
two washouIs this side of Beaver, and
when last heard from had made q raid on
the express car and taken all the eataDleS
out to satisfy a twenty-four-hour fast.
On the Santa Fe the condition of affairs
is fully as bad as on other roads. The
Missouri Pacifc's $4,000 steel bridge
over the Arkansas below the city is a
complete wreck.
DENVER SUBURB IN DANGER.
DENVER. May 31.-The Weather Bureau
reports the rainfall in Denver as one
inch and at Pueblo three inches, and still
raining. 1t stopped raining here about
noon. The Platte River is still rising. 1t
has now reached the top OF the banks at
Globeville, Denver suburb of 800 in
habitants, and the village is likely to be
flooded at any moment.
WHOLE VALLEY UNDER WATER.
LoNGMONT Coll. May 31.-The heaviest
rainstorm ever known in this region be-
gan yesterday, and still continues. Many
residents of the lower part of the town
are fleeing from the rising waters. The
whole valley is under water. The Gulf
and the Burlington tracks are submerged,
and washouts for hundreds of feet are
reported in many places.
HEAVIEST RAIN IN TWENTY YEARS.
IDAHO SPRINGS (Col.), May 81. A
heavy downpour of rain since Tuesday
night has caused washouts in Virginia
Canyon and Fail River. The down train
on the Colorado Central, which left here
at $3.50 yesterday afternoon, has been
stuck at the mouth of the Virginia Can
yon ever since, with some prospects OF
getting through before midnight. The
rain is the heaviest in twenty years.

A MEMoRIAL-DAY INCIDENT.
Sensational Utterances of an ex-Con-
federate General.

IeQeraU0 Genoral.
RICHMOND (Va.), May 31.-General
Thomas Rosser made speech here at a
reunion of Confederate cavalrymen Incl
dent to the unveiling of the Private Sol
diers' Monument, which has created
considerable comment here. In part he
said:
Comrades, when you marched out in
1861 you were buoyed with hope Of the
future. Now you have only the memory
of the lost. The great principles for
which we fought have been dishonored,
but they are not dead. We are now but
an ambulance corps. But we are here to-
day to do honor to the men who fell, for
we love their memory as we love our
God. The men who overran us remind
me of the locusts which are now infesting
portions of this State. They could not
whip US, but they devoured our SUBJ
stance. The army that devoured US was
an army of substitutes. We killed all the
substitutes, and the men whom they rep
resented staid at home and made money,
and now draw pensions.
''Some time ago we unveiled monu-
ment to the greatest General who ever
lived; to-day we unveil monument to
the greatest private soldiers who ever
lived, and in time we will unveil monu-
ment to the President of the Confederacy.
But we are Knocked at by the North and
told that we will live to see the Yankee
army march again through the South and
pull down our monuments. | do not
know what sort of stuff the rising gen
Grafton is made OF, but if you and / are
living there'll be bloodshed when that is
done"
Rosser, who made much money in
Minnesota by railroad building, was de-
feated as the Populist candidate for Con-
gress last fall.

Some of the older persons escaped by
creeping on the narrow ledge of the sec
ond story to the window of the next
house. Two men used a blanket as net
to catch the children dropped from the
windows above.
Fifteen were dropped through the
sheet of flame which was leaping from
the side of the building. Then the elder
ones jumped. Meyer Dietrich, aged Al,
was badly burned. Several persons on
the top floor were overcome by smoke
and carried out by the firemen.
Three persons were burned to death in
the same building two years ago.
