DENVER, Aug. 6.—A special to the News from Santa Fe, N. M., says: Farm crops on both the east and west slopes of the Glorieta range have been destroyed by the flood. Fences were washed away and along Torreon Creek the corn and oat fields are strewn with driftwood piled five feet high. Between Glorieta and Lamy the public highway is practicaily obliterated. Just above Canoncito the Galisteo’s swift current was eighty feet wide and twenty feet deep. At numerous points the railroad track is undermined The heavy piling and timber guards that have protected the roads for years in the canyon half a mile east of Canoncito are destroyed. In some places the rails and ties for 150 feet are suspended in midair twenty feet above what is now tjge creek bed. The two_sixty-foot spans of the steel bridge at Canoncito were carried down stream feet and now lie bottom-side up half buried in sand. The famous well at Canoncito was entirely filled with gravel and wash. From all indiciations it will require at least five days to repair the roadbed between the top of the mountain and Lamy. TIVOLI SINGERS RENDER “LUCIA” IN CLEVER MANNER Large Audience Enjoys the Solos and Other Numbers of the Popular Opera. Last night the Tivoli people gave an ex- cellent rendering of “Lucia,” to a house crowded to its capacity. Orchestra, chorus and principals were in exception- a'ly good trim, and the performance went with much spirit. Each favorite number was greeted with continued applause— the mad scene, beautifully sung by Re- petto, with a fit and musicianly flute ec- ccmpaniment by Mr. Newbauer; ‘“Infe- | lice,” very well given by Nicolini; the fa- mous sextet, given with excellent spirit and ensemble by Repetto, Russo, Ferrari, Nicolini, Facci and Sannie Kruger, and all the rest of them. Lucia is one of Repetto’s best parts vo- cslly. She hardly attempts to act the T But she sang charmingly last night_and was heartily applauded for Ler efforts. Russo both acted and —sang the part of Edgardo splendidly. It is a role in which he finds one of his happiest cpportunities, a role he approaches with a respect not always apparent in his at- titude toward his composer's creations, and to which he gives his best effort. He shcok a real dramatic thrill out of the wedding scene, and roused the other play- ers to the satisfactory pitch of enthu- siasm that accounted for one of the best rerderings of the sextet that has been bezrd here for a long, long time. Ferrari, as Henry Ashton, is not the best Terrari we know, but is useful enough in the part. Nicolini fills all requirements as Raimondo, and Pio Faccl sings well enough, with a truly naive self-satisfac- tion. the part of Sir Arthur Bucklaw. — e Cooper Trial Postponed. The second trial of “Sir” Harry West- wood Cooper, alias Ernest Moore Chad- wick, on the charge of forgery for send- ing a forged telegram to Miss Norine Schneider, was to have commenced be- fore Judge Cook yesterday morning, but a continuance was granted till Monday on account of the iliness of Mrs. Schneider. The Judge made an order that the case against the defendant on the charge of perjury be transferred to another depart- ment. the dead. The festival usually begi i the sound of chains being dragged e the chairs and furniture. After about an hour of this the tumult seems to change, then resembles that produced when people break up housekeeping, accompanied by the dull thud of falling timbers and crash- ing glass. Then follow in quick succession until daylight a series of blood-curdling moans, gramaphone selections and cornet solos, above which can be heard the omin- ous rush through the air of the_winged spooks. It is all a great strain on Mr. Mc- Inerney’s nervous economy. That the spooks are trying to break him up in business Mr. McInerney does not doubt. He has seen himself go to bed with a great pile of bill-posters alongside of him, but in the morning they had all disappeared. For this reason he has been charged by his employ the bills, no_results having followed their outlay in advertising. He hates to have his honesty impugned and his slumbers destroyed, hence the arrest. ASSAULTS THE UMPIRE. Hart Strikes Haskell in the Face During Dispute at Baltimore. AMERICAN LEAGU CLUBS.

CALL BUREAU, 1408 G STREET, N. W., WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.—An in- terruption of transit across the isthmus, which the American Consul in Colon said last week was threatened by operations of the Colombian guerrillas, has occurred and it will now become necessary for the United States to take action to prevent its recurrence. The interruption was short, only one hour, yet it establishes a prece- dent which this Government cannot afford | to overlook. The facts of the incident were communicated by Consul General Gudger in Panama in this dispatch to-day to the State Department: “Liberals detained for one hour a pas- senger train at Matachin this morning. Captured some Government officials. o looting, no damage.” The treaty in force between the United States and Colombia imposes upon this Government the duty of efficaciously and positively preserving perfect neutrality of the isthmus, “with the view that free transit from one to the other sea may not be interrupted or embarrassed.” In or- | der to maintain free communication it is necessary that an armed force should be sent to Colombia. It is expected that the gunboat Machals will start in a few days, and it would not be surprising should Rear Admiral Casey be directed to send one of the ships of his command to Panama. Thus the United States will have on both sides of the isthmus warships which will be able to protect not only the terminus of the railroad, but to land men for the purpose of traveling on trains and of preventing an_interruption of traffic. Officials of Colombia in this city are rather glad the incident has occurred. The moral effect of the intervention by the United States in isthmian affairs wiil be great. A RESULTS ON EASTERN TRACKS.

Gage, and William H. Rich- ardson Form a Brilliant Social Function AKLAND, Aug. 6.—A brilliant so- cial event was the wedding this evening of Miss Elizabeth Stan- ford Gage of this city and Wil- liam H. Richardson Jr. of Austin, Tex. The bride is the youngest daughter of Stephen T. Gage and one of the most popular members of the exclusive set. The invitation list was a long one and scores of society people returned during the last few days from the summer re- sorts to be present at the wedding. Preparations for the event had been made on an elaborate scale at the Gase home on Harrison street, where the cere- mony and reception took place, and the result was striking and artistic. Green and white prevailed. an occasional sug- gestion of color being given with pini roses and sweet peas. In the embowered bay-window in the drawing-room a large white wedding bell hung, beneath wkicl the young couple knelt during the mar riage service. The Rev. Robert Ritchie, rector of St. Paul's Episcopal Church, officiated. The bride was exquisitely gowned in a princess robe of ivory white satin, made with a very long train and elaborately trimmed with Brussels lace and tulle. panel of lace, caught with tulle and orange blossoms, adorned the left side of the skirt, while a drapery of tulle, held in place with' orange blossoms, outlined the edge of the train. The bodice was made with lace yoke and sleeves and draped with tulle and orange blossoms. Real orange blossoms held the long tulle vell in place. The only ornament worn by the bride was a splendid fleur de lis o{ diamonds, the groom’s gift, which sparkled in her hair. The shower bouquet carried by the bride was of lilies of the valley, orange blossoms and tulle, Miss Rose Nallo of Austin, Tex. a cousin of the groom, was the maid of honor and wore a dainty gown of crepe de chine, made over pink silk, with in- sertion of lace. She carried maidenhair fern tied with white tulle and wore a spray of fern in her hair. The six bridesmaids were all gowned alike in green crepe de chine over green Silk, with a single pink rose in the cor- sage and hair. They carried shower bou- Quets .of pink sweet peas. The brides- maids were Miss Mabel Gage, Miss Etnel Gage, Miss Crissie Taft, Miss Amy Sco- ville of New York, Miss Ruth Dunham and Miss Belle Nicholson. George Gage, a brother of the bride, attended the groom. The ushers were George E. Gross of this city and Corneil Roman of San Francisco. The bride was given away by her father. An orchestra_of stringed instruments was concealed behind a portiere of vines and played appropuiate Selections during the ceremony. ‘After congratulations the assembled guests repaired to the marquee that had been erected on the lawn and where the wedding supper was served. In the can- vas inclosure garlands of green, palms and hanging baskets were artistically ar: ranged, while rose-colored lanterns an softly shaded incandescent globes illumin- ated the scene. The bride's table was built around a large pepper tree whose drooping branches formed one end of the unique supper room. At this table with the bridal party were seated Iliss Pauline and Miss Anita Lohse, Miss Kate Chabot, Miss Carrie Nicholson, Miss Alma Brown and Russell Lukens, Charles K. Field, Fhillip Wadsworth, Cleve Baker, Montell Taylor, McClure Gregory, Duncan McDuffie and Ray Crawford.

Beck, a Stockton Man, Meets Death in a Lonely Spot. Friends Think He Was Mur- dered, Though Suicide 1 Is Probable. e it George Lorenz, who is employed at the Sutro Baths, last evening found the body of a middle-aged man near Sutro Heights. He at once notified the Coroner. The body was that of a person about 40 years of age. It was clothed In a blue serge suit and a black soft hat. On each cuff was the name “F. Beck.” In one of the pockets was found a money order re- | ceipt showing that the man had drawn | $7 from the Stockton Postoffice on July | 19 1ast. | There was also found on the body a picture of the deceased dressed as a sol- dier. Last Sunday Lorenz found a half- emptied box of rough on rats about 200 feet from where the body was discov- ered, also a half-fllled boitle of whisky containing a portion of the deadly pol- son. From his statement the Coroner came to the conclusion that Beck, who, it was said, lived in Stockton, had com- mitted suicide. The following dispatch from Stockton gives facts as to Beck’s character that do not coincide with the suicide theory: F. Beck was formerly the dairyman at the State Hospital for the insane and resided with his wife on North Ophir street. In July he went to San Francisco, intending later to take a trip Bast. A few days ago he sent his wife a small money order and she went down to join him. She is probably in Alameda, whers she has relatives. Beck was an industrious man and his friends here believe he must have met with foul play. He had some money.

Charles Molter, who was restored to capacity on the 5th inst., filed suit yes- terday charginz his wife, Lena Moiter, with having entered into a conspiracy with one Harry Blews to defraud the plaintiff out »>f his property. Molter alleges that when he married in 1579 he had $600 and che was possessed of 3$350. Through thrift and industry, he says, he accumulated suffident money to purchase the properties at 1110 Mission street and 607 Jessie street. On August 10, 1899, Molter continues, his wife caused him to be adjudged insane and secured his commitment to the Napa Asylum. for the purpose of defrauding him of his property. DMoiter claims that after his commitment his wife disposed of a porticn of his property and invested the proceeds in a cigar store at 140 First street.
