NEW ELECTRIC RAILWAY
WILL SCALE PIXIES PEAK

Colorado Springs, Colo., Sept. l.
Denver Republican Speclal)-In line
with the other great improvements
and innovations recently established in
this vicinity, Colorado Springs capital
lists are about to construct and Oper-
ate nm electric railway to the summit
of Pixies Peak, the road to begin about
twenty-six miles up the new Short
Line, near Clyde, and to be eleven to
fifteen miles In length. No cOgs will
be used in the construction. the pro-
moters being assured of grade that
will enable them to operate without
their aid.
Many promoters of the gigantic
trust company soon to operate In this
city are also heavily interested in the
new project. The principal promoters
of the electric railway scheme are:
w. A. Otis & Co.. G. NJ. MacNeill, l..
P. Shove. G. Il. Noble, Henry Hlne,
and the firm of Hall, Babbltt Il Thay-
er. Upon the latter will devolve the
legal work, the others representing an
immense amount of capital.
The company is TO be incorporated
Immediately at a nominal capitallza-
ton, amounting TO probably 100000,
and n stock and bond issue will prob
ably be promoted for the purpose of
securing the necessary equipment.
From 100000 to S5OO,OOO will be ex-
pended In the construction of the road,

gineer as n dam site for the proposed
Seven Lakes reservoir, which the city
is contemplating purchasing.
The new Short Line management is
to be not financially interested In the
project, though the officials are cog
nizant of the details of the plans. The
steam short line would undoubtedly
benefit greatly by the close connec-
tions made with the proposed electric,
and an immense passenger traffic
would ensue.
Though the conditions attending the
erection of the new roadbed are diff
tlcult In the extreme, the best engi-
neering skill will be called into reqhi-
sition, and II, as is now thought, opera
tions will be started Mt once, the line

CLEVELAND, OHIO SWEPT
BY DEVASTATING FLOODS

Cleveland o., Sept. with the

izens of Cleveland awoke to look upon
a scene of devastation and destruction
caused by raging flood. While the
the entire city w. gore or less affect
ed the great volume of raging water
wasted Its anger over miles OF the east
amount Of damage estimated at ST.
100000.
The overflow was caused by heavy
rain that commenced TO fall shortly
after . o'clock, turned into a perfect
cloudburst between the hours Of 3
and 8, and then continued with great
force until nearly 10 o'clock. The storm
according to the weather officials, was
the heaviest that has swept over Cleve-
land since the establishment Of the gov
ernment bureau in this city over forty
years ago. There was no loss of life.
The waters spread over an area In
the east nearly eight miles long and a
mile and half wide. This extended
from Woodland Hills avenue TO East
Cleveland and back TO East Madison
avenue.
Great volumes of water poured over
from Doan and Giddlngs brooks down
Quincy street, swamped Vienna street,
rushed over Cedar avenue. back over
on East Prospect street, rushed like Il
mill race down Lincoln avenue to Euc-
lid avenue, and then on TO Glen Park
place. where houses We're undermined
as though bull; Of straw, and large
damage done to streets and property.
Over large share of this exclusive
residence territory the water rushed
with terrific force varying In depth
from one to six feet Culvcrts, trestles
and bridges Were torn down and for
hours nothing seemed capable OF STEM

The question. therefore. is whether

The court has grave doubts whether
there is any valid and sufficient

ment, but without passing upon that
question at this lime. the court feels
compelled by the law and the evidence
Ia the eases now before the court to
