DAMAGED BY FLOOD.
Pueblo Suffering Greatly from
Too Much Arkansas River.
Pueblo, Colo., May 31.—It has
rained incessantly for thirty hours
all over the eastern portion of the
state. The rainfall is one of the
heaviest ever known. In this city
the Arkansas river broke the levee
in six places, and from the Union
avenue viaduot to the postoffice,
three quarters of a mile, all oellars
are flooded and the water has risen
two feet above the first floors.
The electric street oars have stop-ped
running, the works being
flooded. Hundreds of men are out
in boats rescuing families from the
flooded houses, and removing goods.
The five railroads entering the oity
are tied up. The damage is at, least
$100,000. The Journal office is
flooded to the depth of six feet, and
the Journal has been obliged to stop
work.
The flood is now receding, and it
is thought all danger in this city is
passed.
The Fall at Denver.
Denver, May 31.—The rain
which began falling here at 3 a. m.
yesterday still continues. The
Piatte river is higher than it has
been for many years, but no dam
age is reported. The railroads
running west and south are all tied
up by washouts, and all telegraph
and telephone wires are down be
tween Denver and Pueblo.
Heavy Damages.
Denver, May 31.—Late reports
from all directions give accounts of
heavy rains and considerable
damage. The rivers running
through the canyons have becom

Sherman on Sugar.
Washington, May 31.—The sugaT
sehedule of the tariff bil was reached
and Senator Sherman, of Ohio, took
the floor to make a speech.
In the oourse of his speech he
asserted that .if President Harrison
had been re eleoted and there had
been no fear of tariff tinkering, the
McKinley law would have yielded
sufficient revenue, though the fall
of silver and the increased demand
for gold had something to do with
the . present financial depression
He also declared that the South was
coming around from its doctrine
that protection was unconstitutional,
Miners Imported.

New York, May 31.—A terrifio
explosion, followed by fire,ooourred
at 4:30 this morning in a distillery
on the ground floor of a double tene-ment
on Suffolk street, resulting in
the death of Lizzie Yaega, aged fonr

others.
Twenty families tenanted the
building, and the explosion and fire
cut them off from the stairway.
Some of the older persons esoaped
by oreeping on the narrow ledge of
the second story to a window of t
next house.
Two men living in a house in the
rear of the burning buildiDg got a
blanket and used it as a net in whioh
to catch the ohildren as they
dropped from the windows above
There were fifteen dropped in all
through the sheet of flame which was
leaping from the side of the build-ing
between the windows and the
blanket below in the rear yard.
After the children had all been
safely dropped the older ones
jumped. Hyman Ehrenwost made
the perilous jump in safety, but
Mrs. Ehrenwost, who is quite
heavy, broke the blanket by her
great weight and was severely in-jured.
The firemen who had arrived then
set to work to save the rest of the
occupants of the building.
Chief Ahren found little Lizzie
Yaega on the third floor, nnoon-scions.
She died in a few moments
after being removed to the hos-pital.
Meyer Deitrich, aged 41, was
badly burned in attempting to get
out through the lower hall.

were overcome by smoke and had
to be carried out by the firemen.

estimated at $15,000.
