‘darkness WASHED OUT. Pueblo Nisappearing From the Map—Arkansas and Fountain River Levees Break. Flooding the Entire Business Dis- trict and Bottoms.—Three Hundred Families rescued from the *‘Grove” Pueblo, Colo, May 31.—A storm which has been raging in this vicini- ty for the past two days broke in all its fury yesterday afternoon causing the Arkansas and Fountain Rivers whose junction is in this city, to burst over their levees and flood the whole lower portion of the town. At 8 o'clock last evening the rise! was so rapid that the fire whietle was blown to eall out the police and fire departments, also the volunteers to/ assist In rescuing some 300 families who were hemmed in in the “grove” or bottoms. | The work proceeded as rapidly as possible. The men in their heroic work were greatly hampered by the rising water. Au alarm wes again sounded at 10 o'clock calling the rescuers from the bottoms. ' The levees had broken above the city and there was great danger of High wagons and boats were used in get- ting the unfortunates to the Mesa and other high ground. When the second alarm wassound- ed the work of saving property was Extra strenuous efforts were made to get out the families. It is said that an old man and his sick daughter were penned in ina one story abode half a mile below town. The bridges are all under strong guard of special policemen. No one is allowed to pass from the north to the south side of town. The plank ing on the main street, Union ave enue and Victoria have floated away. The cellars of the wholesale houses are filled and the damage the people being drowned. abandoned. \ flood in the hi is thought the structure is gone. Six feet of water in the Postal tele- graph office. Western Union office is on the hill, and in no immediate danger. Three more bridges on the Arkan- sas were swept away at 11:45 p. m. | At 12:30 a.m. rain commenced to fall again. A police patrol wagon | with ten men standing on the seat | stuck in the mud, only the horses’) heads being visible above the water. | At 12:45 a. m. the second electric} light plant, whien was supplying arc) lights for the streets, was flooded { Bi) | as all the street light went out.

This is the residence portion of the city. The greatest alarm is felt for the safety of the people. some places the water is above the second story windows, as the houscs are mostly of wood and can only stand against the present rush of water for a few moments. The water is washing down the principal street at the rate of 18 to 20 miles an hour. All the wooden sidewalks lere have been washed away. doing a great amount of damage as they plunged water io onward, Several serious accidents bave al ready occurred by men and women while trying to wade being str the streets.

How About It? Atlanta Constitution. The New York Journal of Com merce says that the silver plank in the Missouri platform is not what Mr. Bland was after, and it declares hat it is a practical defeat of Mr. Bland’s views. We have seen the same statement made in other quar- ters where the saving salt of oftice holeing has giveu a holden tinge to currency views. But, leaving Mr. Bland out cf the question, does the editor of the Jour- nal of Commerce endorse the silver plank of the Missouri platform? If not, why not? If Mr. Bland is a “sil | ver lunatic’ and this plank is axe | pudiation 07 his views, it seems to| us the Journal of Commerce ought to rush to its embrace. but it says Wy not? We should like to see the plank discussed fully and frankly by a financial expert so able aud distin-! guished as the editor of the Journal | of Commeree.
