[ Special to Tun DEB. ] The assembly groundsnro now In readiness for the multitude of people who purpose attending the seventh session of the Nebraska Chautauqua , which convenes the tlay after to-morrow , The vanguard of this multitude has already an Ived nnd found com fortable quarters In the Summer City. A casual glnnco over the ample grounds shows I that no pnlns have been spared to make them as nearly ns possible nil that could bo rcuson- tibly desired. All the buildings and additions have been completed , the campus mown , the prove cleared of surplus growth , nnd the Icnts pitched. AVhat great Improvements have been made In the appearance mm appoint ments of the assembly grounds nro evident to the observer us soon as ho enters the gates. A material point In this regard Is the pregcnco of so ninny now and handsome buildings. The enlargement of the pavilion and the dining hall add much to the appear ance and convenience of these structures. The Presbyterian headquarters nro especially unique nnd attractive ; the Y. M. C. A. build ing also presents a pleasing appearance nnd the G. A. II. building will bo no less pleasant to the eye when it Is provided with the broad Ooublu verandas which the builders propose adding to It cro another year. The 500 tents now distributed over the grounds hero In long , prim rows , ana there la picturesque confusion--make n very pretty picture and constitute n veritable city of Icnts. It Is the well ordered encampment of n great army , nn nrniy not of warriors , but of seekers after physical , mental and spiritual pleasure and prollt. All that Is needed to perfect this popular nnd rapidly-growing nummer city on the banks of tlio big blue , Is the busy life that will soon surge through Its nhndy streets , nnd illl its pleasant cottages nnd multitudinous canvas residences. Besides-tho 510 tentstho grounds now con- tnui about thirty substantial frumebuildings. Of thcso twelve are private cottages , seven nro headquarters buildings , nnd the rest are lialls. ofilccs , stores , luncheon rooms , etc. These frame bulldlngs.ncnrly all of which are Voth largo nnd attractive , give an nir of thrift and permnnauco to the grounds which they would not otherwise possess. Ttirco car loads of tent furniture have ar rived , nnd tent-dwellers can purchase it on the grounds nt co&t price , or rent it nt roa- nonublo rates. Those who have this matter In charge have a largo aad well selected Block of tent furniture , and will offer it nt much better terms than could be obtained last year. It is the object of the assembly liot to make money on thcso articles sold or rented to tout-dwellers , but simply to obtain the cost price. Several dozen row boats have been pro vided , nnd are now swinging idly at their moorings near the hall In the grove , await ing the coming of the lloatlng population that every year can bo found on the river at all Boris of hours. The little steamer , the jOollo of the Blue , has been newly cleaned nnd painted , and presents a bravo nppoar- nnce. It will do Us part to increase the en joyment of voyagers , and its familiar whistle , Which has boon Jocosely likened to nn Alpine tiorn , will rend tlio cars of nervous mortals innd awaken the echoes that lie slumbering nlong the willowy river banks nnd among the Wooded hills. It Is n matter of congratulation that the assembly workers who coinu nero from abroad will have comfortable apartments in Uunning hall , that their meals will bo served in the largo dining room oi the same buildIng - Ing nnd tnat they will bo free from tlio in conveniences und annoyances of previous 'years. The matter of providing suitable ticcommodations for distinguished guests and Workers has heretofore been unavoidably toeglected , but now that the small out-of-the- way frame building which has hitherto nerved ns their lodging place , and which 1'rof. Frank Beard derisively dubbed 'Saint's Hest , " has given place to the hand- EOino nail named in honor of the assembly's popular nnd cflicicnt superintendent-of in- Btructlou , there can bo no turtherlack in this direction. Quito n number of people have arrived and nre getting comfortably installed in thuir bsscmbly quarters. Among to-day's arrivals nre Messrs. Culvert , AVelch , Lcavitt and Gregory and their families , of Lincoln. Hey. has rented Mr. ' Gregory Hardcnborg's cot tage , nnd Mr. Lcnvitt nnd wife will share cither the Welch rr Culvert cottage. These four families will employ an experienced cook , u largo . tent will serve ns their Ititchon and they will form a jolly little community modeled after the Shaker plan of having everything in common. A telegram Just received from Judge Thomas M. Cooley , president of the inter Btnto commcrco commission , reads its follows : "Expect to leave Ann Arbor Friday and tench Crete Monday afternoon. " .

Fearful Itcturns From the Mexican TOWIIH Devastated By Floods. Cm-OF MEXICO , Juno .20. Telegraphic communication , which had boon interrupted for several days by the flood , has boon re stored and the particulars of the terrible dis aster on the Mexican Central railway , par ticularly nt Leon and Silao , nro obtained. During the past ton days the table lands bo- , wccn here and Zacatocas have boon visited jy unprecedented ruins , which have flooded nil the stroatns. M.iny cities nnd towns lave been inundated and Leon and Silao liavo been partially destroyed. The first intimation in this city of the ilood was tele graphed from Silao , dated the ISth , inst. It said that rains have Hooded the low lands and the town was being Hooded. About IUO udobo houses have been destroyed. The station buildings arc occupied by homeless people , who are unable to obtain anything to eat except fruit floating on the w.Uer. The rain has been general , nnd while the country around Silao is Hooded , several dykes have given way. The Hoods have been moro destructive in Leon than in Silao. Monday night brought the city ono of the u.ost ternblo scones ever witnessed in this country. The people believed themselves secure from the Hood , and went to bed in the unHeeded - Hooded parts of the town without fear. Tlio steady downfall of rain caused the river to overllow the greater part of Leon. Houses tumbled in rapidly and loss of lifo com menced. As the buildings fell tbo unfortu nate sleeners were either crushed to death or drowned. A night of terror followed. Men , women and children fled to the strcots in their night clothes , some to find shelter in higher ground , and others to bo swept away by the Hood. Wednesday afternoon the rain ceased fall ing and the waters commpiipoa to recede. People recovered from their fright , though the water was still covering a portion of the city. Ono hundred and cloven bodies have been recovered without moving any of the ruins of IIOUSPS. where are supposed to bo hundreds of bodies buried. The number of destroyed houses is estimated at 2,000 and the loss at $2ODOOJO. Many other towns have boon badly damaged , but the loss of lifo is only reported from Silao and Leon. The Mexican Central has suffered very severely. The state of Guananjunto nnd the federal government nro doing much to succor the victims of the Hood. Furthermore , sub scriptions of money , food nnd clothes nro being - ing sent from here. The last reports from Leon nro heartrending. The whole popula tion is busily working Into the ruins of the fallen houses. Nearly everybody has lost re lations or friends. The last statement received places the number of houses destroyed in Li-on at 221 , nnd the homeless famines nt moro than n thousand. Moro than two hundred and tlfty bodies have been recovered from the ruins , and there is no probability that the cutiro number of dead will fall short of TOO. Ei. P.v-o , Texas , Juno 20. Information is received hero from thn Hooded districts in Mexico saying that 1..100 lives were lost by the inundation and that u thousand bodies bnvo been recovered. Leon is a city of 100,000 inhabitants , and a largo part of it is in ruins , It is stated that 100 miles of the Mexi can Central road is impassible , nnd that jt will talco ten days before the mails can get through and twenty days before freight can bo moved.
