A COLORADO FLOOD.
Much Damage at PuebIo-FlOOds at Other
Points.

Much Damage at PuebiO-ElOOds at Other
Points.
PUEBLO, Col, June Three lives are
known to have been lost in the food 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, 3 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 500 people, an unknown Italian
about 20 years of age was drowned
near the Union Pacific, Denver & Gulf
railroad, within 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
tiers caused by fierce rain, have flooded
the business and resident sections of
the city. At $40 o'clock Wednesday night
the fire alarm whistle sounded warn
ings to the residents of the lowlands,
and soon the first break occurred in the
1evee, 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 filed 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 a 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 Globevil1e, a
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.

New YORK, June An explosion fol-
lowed by fire occurred at 4:3O o'clock
this morning IN a distillery on the
ground floor of the double tenement
house 449' Suffolk street and before
the firemen could complete the work

was suffocated. Twenty families ten
anted the building. The explosion and
fire cut them off from the stairway.
Fifteen children were thrown from up
per windows into blankets below.
Some of the older ones escaped by
creeping on a narrow ledge of the
second story to the window of the next
house. Four adults were injured.

Twas the accumulated ills,
The smokeless chimneys Of the mills,
The spindles hushed, the silent looms,
The life in cold and cheerless rooms,
The fireless hearth the tables bare
The lack of decent clothes 10 wear,
The silent misery and the tears
That marked the Democratic years
These were the things that did it.
