other side Of the Atlantic that the per
sistent drought has resulted in injury

The crops suffer from too much moist
ure instead of from lack of it, the posi-
ton Of the British Islands, right in
the sweep of winds that have blown
over the Gulf stream, causing the at
mosphere of those islands to be nor
mally surcharged with moisture.

DENVER, Col, Aug. 2O.-The Gun,ry

was wrecked by a terrific explosion at
1910 o'clock a. m. The rear half OF
the building, ive-story brick and
stone structure, went down with q
crash.
The hotel was crowded with guests
and many Of them must have been
killed, as we'll as the entire force of
hotel employees, who were sleeping in
the portion of the building which fell.
On both sides of Lawrence, from Sew
enteenth to Eighteenth street, and on
Larimer, directly back Of the Gumry,
the plate glass windows of the bust

the alley and extending IS feet toward
the front is mass of debris. Brick
and plaster are piled in heaps 20 feet
high. and from this mass Of wreckage
can be heard the means Of the injured

still buried in the ruins.

the air, and as there is not breath OF

huge column. Minute atoms of pow

like gentle snow.
At 1880 the ruins were burning
fercely and the 6remen were obliged
to retreat from the work of rescue.
Every engine in the city was pouring
streams into the mass, but it was evil
