WATER FILLS GORGE
FROM HUGE cLOUD6URST.

Colorado Springs, Colo, Aug. L.
The Rock Island railroad is tempor-
arily out OF action in this city as a
result of cloudburst that struck the
mountains north of town late yester-
day afternoon. The cut through
which the road runs as 1t enters Col
orado Springs, is about 100 feet wide,
and twenty feet deep, and it is de-
clared to have run full of water when
the force of the flood reached that
point.
Tne tracks today, for distance of
nearly a mile are buried under from
eight TO ten feet of sand.
Had not the cut diverted the flood
enormous damage would have been
done to one of the best residence sec
tions OF Colorado Springs.

New Orleans, La, Aug. 1.-During
the last two days | have been in the
French quarter, where the yellow
fever is raging the fiercest.
| have been with the doctors in
their house to house tours of inspec-
tion and with the nurses in the vel
low fever hospital.
| wanted to find out for The Even
ing Citizen just what kind of a fight
is being put up by the authorities
against the threatened epidemic, and
| was able to invade the danger zones
because l am immune.
| found that the routine for hunt
ing out yellow fever cases has been
reduced to an exact science. The
city of $4,000 Inhabitants is divided
into small districts of four squares
each. An Inspector appointed by the
city board OF health, makes a house
to house inspection every twenty-four
hours.
All suspicious cases are Immediately
repol ted, and in fact, all cases of ill
ness, that they may be investigated,
if for no other reason. All physicians
in the city, of which the city is ex-
ceptionally well supplied, also agreed
to report Immediately each and every
case to the city board.
The inspectors are made up of med
ical students and those who have had
the greatest amount of experience
with yellow fever during former epi'
denies, the last of which began mere
in 1897.
AS soon as a case is reported under
suspicion, if the patient lives in his
own home, and that home is in a good
sanitary condition, his bed is imme'
diately inclosed with the finest OF
mosquito netting.
AS most beds here are already thus
guarded for the ordinary convenience
of sleepers, this is not an innovation
Any traveller familiar with New Or
leans will remember the high bed
posts and the mosquito bars which
are carefully drawn every night
Within recent years a great many OF
the better class of residences are
screened against the mosquito with
copper wire.
AS there are practically no house
flies here, the screens are put up es
pecially to guard against mosquitoes
Many porches are screened in to al
low the citizens and their families
free air to breathe during the even
ing.
Every reputable physician in New
Orleans, with a very few exceptions
has accepted the mosquito theory
that is, that yellow fever is transmit
ted only by the mosquito and by but
one species at that--the stegomyia
fasciata,' as the scientists say. This
is the mosquito with striped body like
tiger, and only the females are said
to bite.
A mosquito OF this species lives
two months, and as a rule, only bites
In the day time. He is a house pro-
duct and breeds in the open cisterns,
which here are built above the
ground, and in northern cities would
be called tanks, which they are, be.
ing made of cypress wood or of gal.
yanized iron.
A teacup full of oil on the top of
one of these cisterns presents any
mosquitoes from Matching. All els
terms here now are being either thus

ALL DEAD WITH

Revolutionary PensiOner Gel.

Birthday.
HUSBAND EIGHTY WHEN MARRIED

Montpelier, VT, Aug. 1.--At her
home in Windsor county, this state,
Mrs. Esther Sumner Damon, the last
ON the roll of federal pensioners as a
widow of soldier of the Revolution,
celebrated her ninety-first birthday to-
day.
Aunt Esther" as she Is familiarly
known, is the widow of Noah Damon,
whose service as Revolutionary sol
dier is shown by the records in the
bureau of pensions, to have been as
follows:
Six days, from April 19, 1775, in
Captain fuckers company; twenty
five days, from April II, 1777, in Cap
tain Seth Summers company, Colonel
Benjamin GilPs regiment; two months
and five days, from May Is, 1777, in
Captain Moses French's company,
Colonel Jonathan Titcombs regiment;
two months and twenty-five days,
from December 10, 1777, in Captain
Thomas Whites company, Colonel
Edward Proctor's regiment; two
months and twenty-five days, from
April 8, 1878, in Captain Benjamin
Lapham's company, Colonel Jonathan
Reeds regiment; one month and seven

Richards company, Colonel GINS
regiment, and eight months, from

ney's company.
Damon entered the service as a
minute man." when about 16 years of
age. He was nearly % when his last
recorded service was completed. His
term of intermittent enlistment cov-
Grad a period OF nearly five years and
seven months. The irregular troops
of the Continental army were assem-
bled and disbanded, as occasion re-
quired, which explains his frequent
changes of assignment to companies
and regiments. He was nearly four
score years old when he was married
to Esther Sumner, the widow who sur
wives him.
Mrs. Damon has been confined to
her bed for nearly year, and has lost
to a great extent, the use of her limbs.
With the exception of a slight deaf
ness, however, she retains her facul-
ties remarkably. Last April her pen
sion was increased by the govern
ment to S24 per month.

pital corps since 1876. He is 81 years

States governments measures to ward
off cholera in 1898, when the epidemic
was raging in Hamburg and other Eu-
ropean ports.
The administration Of the national
quarantine law and establishments :

his decision to take charge in New Or
leans.

number of pamphlets on medical
sanitary matters, and is a member
of a number of societies.

Lying across the bed in only her
night dress, Miss Georgia Zimmerman,
young woman about 23 years of age,
who came to Albuquerque six weeks
ago from Denver, was found dead at
TO- 80 O'Clock this morning in her room
in the Garcia block. That she had
killed herself by taking poison was
very evident as the condition of the
body pointed to morphine poisoning
and several notes on the bureau told
the story. The girl had evidently been
dead for many hours, as the body was
cold. The discovery was made by the
chambermaid, when she went to clean
up the room. Receiving no response
to her knock the maid entered the
room with her pass key and made
the shocking discovery. The matter
was reported to the proper authorities
and they at once took charge of the
case.
Past Life a Mystery.
Shortly after coming to albuquerque
Miss Zimmerman engaged a room in
the Garcia block. AS far as is known
she had no confidents, although she
had made numerous friends. To them
said that she had come to Albuquerque
for relief from slight throat trouble.
She spent great part of her time out
of doors and to those who knew her
always appeared cheerful. Yesterday
she was about as usual and to those
with whom she talked, appeared very
cheerful. The last time she was seen
alive was about 1880 o'clock last even
ing when she was walking about the
Santa Fe station with travelling man,
who took the north bound train for
Denver.
Had Premedltated Suicide.
That Miss Zimmerman had laid
careful plans to kill herself was plain
ly evident from the condition of her
room. She had packed her trunk and
tidied up the room. After doing this
she evidently wrote the notes which
were found on the bureau.
One note was written with pencil on
an envelope. 1t was written in a
steady hand and read as follows:
"Please send my trunk by express
home to my mother and here is the
money to pay the express. Please
send other letters TO addresses and
here is the money for the stamps"
Another letter, also written in pen
ell and addressed TO her mother was
found but it did not give the least in
timatiOn that she contemplated sui
eide at the time 1t was written. Ac-
cording to its contents she was evi-
IDENTIFY in the park when she wrote II,
as II started: 81 as writing this In the
park" etc.
With the note regarding the disposi-
tion of her trunk, the dead girl left
SG.05 TO pay the express. The only
other money found was 1915 in the
top tray of her trunk.
In another note which was address
ed to a friend II is said that she gave
as her motive for suicide that she
was despondent and wanted 10 end II
all, as the world was cold and cruel
and she was tired of life. Outside of
this nothing else was found that would
throw any light ON the cause for her
rash act.
The coroner's Inquest.
Immediately after her death was re-
ported to the officers a coroners Jury
was empanelled and after viewing the
remains ii returned the following YER
