Hon. Frederick Holbrook, of Ver
mont, who recently passed his 93d
birthday, is the only one of the fa
mous "war governors" now surviving.
He stood with Govs. Curtin, of Penn
sylvania, and Andrew, of Massachu
setts, as one of the stanchest support
ers of the Lincoln administration when
it most needed such support as Ihey
could give.
A simple game of cards, played re
cently in Budapest by a Hungarian and
an Armenian merchant, resulted in
$600,000 changing hands. For 48
hours the two players sat at a small
table in Cafe New York, and, though
hundreds of people passed in and out
of the place, but few were aware that
a great fortune was slowly but surely
being passed across a small marble
top table.
American newspaper men rejoiced in
the good fortune which lately befell
Sir Alfred Harmsworth, the enterpris
ing English editor and newspaper pro
prietor, who made a tour of thi# coun
try last year. The good fortune con
sists in the peerage bestowed upon
him by King Edward as a mark of rec
ognition for the distinguished service
the former has rendered to English
journalism.
Icelanders lu»ve a strange but effec
tive plan for preventing horses from
straying away. They tie the head of
one horse to the tail of another, and
the head of this to the tail of the for
mer. In this state it is impossible for
the horses to move on, either back
ward or forward. If disposed to move
at all, it will be only in a circle, and
even then there must be mutual agree
ment to turn their heads the same
way.
One of the remarkable things about
baseball is the scarcity of accidents
to players. In the two major leagues
alone there are 300 ball players play
ing 170 days a year at least, and yet
if even one is hurt it is heralded all
over the country. There are perhaps
1,000,000 people in the United States
who play ball of some form every day
from April to the middle of October,
and at the least estimate there are
4,000 games of ball played every day
in summer, and the serious accidents
do not average 25 to the season.
In the last fiscal year Great Britain
bought goods from the United States
worth $550,000,000 and sold to us $191,-
000,000 worth. Notwithstanding the
large volume of imports from this
country into the United Kingdom,
there was a decline compared with the
preceding years, the decline being
principally in food-stuffs. What we
received from Great Britain were
mainly manufactured articles. The im
ports from and the exports to the
British colonies vary less than $4,000,-
000, the imports to the colonies aggre
gating $584,000,000 and the exports
$1587,793,000.
An event of large and happy sig
nificance in the sphere of religious life
and progress occurred at Dayton, 0.,
a few days ago. It was nothing less
than the practical consolidation of
three denominations, the Congrega
tionalists, the Methodist Protestants,
and the United Brethren, the three
representing a total membership of
over 1,089,000. This merger had been
under consideration for a number of
years, and was finally brought about
by a conference at Dayton, at which
over two hundred delegates from the
three denominations were present.
Spurred to action by the hazing af
fair at Konyon college, which resulted
in the terrible death of a student, the
Ohio legislature lias passed a bill de
signed to make such practices Impos
sible in that state. The measure de
flues hazing in public and private
nchools as a misdemeanor, and pre
scrilies for it as a penalty a fine not
exceeding S2OO or imprisonment in jail
not exceeding six months, or both.
The measure also provides that teach
ers and beads of schools and colleges
■who knowingly permit hazing slull be
deemed guilty of a misdemeanor.

AN AWfUL CATASTROPHE.
Earthquakes and Fire Devastate the City of San
Francisco, Causing a Loss Estimated
at Over $200,000,000.
THOUSANDSOFBUILDINGSDESTROYED
AND HUNDREDS Of PEOPLE ARE DEAD
The State Insane Asylum at Agnew was Demolished, Many Inmates teing
Buried in the Ruins —Reports of Ruin Come from Many
Other Cities and Small Towns in California.
San Francisco, Cal. —Earthquakes
and fire on Wednesday put nearly
half of San Francisco in ruins.
At least 200 persons were killed, a
thousand injured and the property loss
will exceed $200,000,000. Thousands
are homeless and destitute and all day
long streams of people were fleeing
from the stricken districts to places of
safety. It was 5:13 in the morning
when a terrific earthquake shock
shook the whole city and surrounding
country. One shock apparently lasted
two minutes, and there was almost
immediate collapse of flimsy struc
tures all over the city. The water
supply was cut off and when fires
broke out in various sections there
was nothing to do but let the buildings
burn.
Following the first shock there was
another within five minutes, but not
nearly so severe. Three hours later
there was another slight quake. Re
ports from districts oytside of San
Francisco indicate widespread dam
age. San Jose, 50 miles south, lost
many buildings and from 15 to 20 per
sons were killed. The annex of the
Vendome hotel collapsed and fires
broke out. Stanford university and
Palo Alto suffered greatly. At Stan
ford many of the handsome buildings
were demolished and two persons
were killed. One of them was Julius
R. Hanna, of Bradford, Pa., and the
other was Otto Gurts, a fireman.
LOOKING DOWN MARKET STREET.
News comes from Niles, a small
town about 15 miles from San Jose,
stating that the earthquake demolish
ed the state Insane asylum at Agnew, i
near San Jose, burying many of the j
inmates in the ruins.
As a result of the breaking of the
mains of the Spring Valley Water Co.
the town of San Mateo was flooded. I
It was owing to the broken mains that
the fire gained such headway in San
Francisco.
The Are swept down the streets so j
rapidly that it was practically impos- j
sible to save anything in its way. It
reached the Grand opera house in Mis
sion street and in a moment had
burned through tho roof.
The Metropolitan Opera Co. from
New York had just opened its season
there and all the scenery and cos- |
tumes were soon reduced to ashes.
From the opera house the fire leaped
from building to building, levelling
them to the ground in quick succes
sion. The Call editorial and mechani
cal departments were destroyed in a
few minutes and the flames leaped
across Stevenson street toward the 15-
story stone and iron Claus Spreckels
building, which with its lofty dome is
the most notable edifice in San Fran
cisco. It was completely gutted.
Banks and commercial houses, )
supposed to be fireproof, though not of l
modern build, burned quickly and the 1
roar of the flames could be heard even J
on the hills which were out of tho !
danger zone. Here many thousands
of people congregated and viewed the
awful scene. Great sheets of flames
rose high in the heavens, or rushed
down some narrow street, joining
midway between the sidewalks.
Four thieves were shot by soldiers
for looting. The soldiers have orders
to shoot without warning any person
acting in a suspicious manner. The
city hall has been burned and the Hall
A Fatal Explosion in a Mine.
Cannonsburg, I'a. Seven men

have been taken lot the care of desti
tute. They w..i oe fed and protected
in Golden Gate park and the squares.
All efforts to prevent the fire from
reaching the Palace and, Grand hotels
were unsuccessful and both were com
pletely destroyed, together with all
their contents. All of San Francisco's
best play houses, including the Ma
jestic, Columbia, Orpheum and Grand
opera house, are a mass of ruins. The
earthquake demolished them for all
practical purposes and the Are com
pleted the work of demolition.
From the Cliff house comes word
that the great pleasure resort and
show place of the city, which stood
upon a foundation of solid rock, has
been swept Into the sea. Not a
thing stands to tell where the mon
ster stone building stood. It has
been leveled to the foundation and
only the rock lining the sea coast re
mains intact.
In the northern part of the down
town section of the city the fire swept
around the hall of justice and com
municated to Chinatown, thence pro
ceeding westward into the heart of
that colony. It then began rapidly
eating its way southward.
Night added to the horror and as
darkness fell the sky was illuminated
in all directions. As the flames spread
into the residence district people left
their homes and fled to the parks and
ol' Justice is threatened. Measures
squares. A series of rather severe
earthquake shocks at 1 p. m. increased
the terror.
i The ferry boats resumed running
l from Oakland, and thousands of home
; less and panic-stricken people are
leaving the city and seeking shelter in
Oakland and other suburbs.
Nearly every famous landmark
that has made San Francisco famous
has been laid in ruins or burned to the
i ground. Never has the fate of a city
| been more disastrous.
| For three miles along the water
front buildings have been swept clean,
and the blackened beams and great
skeletons of factories and offices stand
silhouetted against a background of
(lame that is slowly spreading over
the entire city.
Los Angeles, April 19. —A long dis
tance telephone message from Salinas
at 11 o'clock last night gave the fol
lowing information:
One hundred and twenty bodies
have been taken out of the Agnew in
sane asylum and there are probably
150 more corpses in the ruins. The
magnificent structure was demolished.
Fight dead Italians were taken out of
an Italian hotel at San Jose. At that
place the Presbyterian church, St.
Patrick's cathedral and the high
1 school were destroyed. The new hall
, of justice at San Jose, just completed
! ut a cost of $300,000, was demolished.
All but two of the university build
| ings at Stanford are in ruins.
Salinas, Cal., April 19. —At 5:15
o'clock Wednesday morning three
shocks of earthquake shook Salinas,
lasting respectively five, three and 42
seconds. They came from the north
east and southwest. The damage is
$2,500,000. No lives were lost in Sa
linas.

Los Angeles, Cal. —At 12.38
o'clock Thursday afternoon Los An
geles experienced a distinct earth
quake shock of short duration. No
damage was done, but thousands of
persons werf frightened. Occupants of
office buildings, especially of tall
structures, ran out into the streets
hatless. Many stores were deserted
in like manner by customers and
clerks. The shock passed soon and
most of those who had fled returned
to the buildings. The San Francisco
horror has strung the populace here to
a high tension, and a spell of sultry
weather serves to increase the gen.
eral nervousness.
E. E. Calvin, general manager of the
Southern Pacific at San Francisco, on
Thursday wired Superintendent In
gram to get a railroad train, buy five
car loads of canned goods and send
them to San Francisco at the earliest
possible moment. Calvin says condi
tions in the stricken city are so ap
palling as to be beyond belief or com
prehension. Gov. Pardee has wired
Mayor McAleer In behalf of Mayor
Schmitz, of San Francisco, to send all
provisions possible to San Francisco
at once. Mayor McAleer has been en
deavoring to communicate with Mayor
Schmitz since the catastrophe oc
curred, but has not been able to get a
message delivered.
Reports from Brawley, a small town
on the Southern Pacific, 120 miles
south of Los Angeles, state that the
town was practically wiped out by the
earthquake. This Is the only town In
southern California known to have
suffered from the shock. So far as
known there were no fatalities. Braw
ley Is about two years old and had a
population of about 500.
San Jose, Cal. Latest reports
show that ten persons were
killed by the earthquake in San Jose.
The hall of records is destroyed, as
well as the hall of justice. All the
main buildings are damaged.
San Francisco, Cal. —The South
ern Pacific hospital at Four
teenth and Mission streets has been
dynamited, the patients having been
removed to places of safety. The
Linda Vista and the Pleasanton, two
large family hotels on Jones street in
the better part of the city, have been
blown up to stay the progress of the
conflagration.
Here the council, composed of the
financial leaders of the city, met and
decided to resort to the most heroic
measures yet undertaken since the
city has been in the path of devasta
tion. This decision was to bombard
the entire section of the city lying
along the east side of Van Ness ave
nue from Golden Gate avenue to Pa
cific avenue, 1G blocks In all, contain
ing the homes of many millionaires
and apartment houses.
Orders were given to concentrate
every fire engine in the city at Van
Ness avenue, to marshal soldiers, po
lice and all workers and make one last
stand to save the remainder of the
city.
Huge cannons were drawn to the
avenue to aid the dynamiters in blow
ing up the mansions of the million
aires on the east side of the avenue.
Every available pound of dynamite
was hauled to this point and the sight
was one of stupendous havoc, as the
cannons were trained on the palaces
and the shot tore into the walls and
toppled the buildings in crushing
ruins. At the other points dynamite
was used and house after house, the
dwellings of millionaires, were lifted
into the air by the power of the bel
lowing blast and dropped to the earth
a mass of dust and debris.
Gen. Funston is co-operating with
Mayor Schmitz, whose orders to ail of
ficers are to kill without warning all
malefactors. When men have been
needed to carry out the plans of res
cue, they have been pressed Into serv
ice. In a few instances it was neces
sary to resort to the cocked revolver
and drawn sword, after which there
was no hesitancy. The Presidio res
ervation, the vast Richmond district of
thousands of acres, Golden Gate park
and the surroundings hills, resemble
one vast picnic ground. Tents and
improvised coverings have been erect
ed everywhere, with fires built in the
streets, beds and mattresses thrown
down all over the section. The people
thus situated are philosophical.
There is only one danger, and that is
that the food supply will run out.
Every grocery in San Francisco has
been taken by the authorities and
each family is being sold only one arti
cle at a time.
Golden Gate park is the main refuge
and supplies will be sent there. Boats
are being provided to take people
across the bay and thousands are
availing themselves of the privilege.
The University of California at Berke
ley has volunteered to take care of
2,000.
Mayor Schmitz has appointed a com
mittee of 50 citizens with full power to
represent him and with power to
requisition men, supplies, vehicles and
boats for public use.
Unless supplies are rushed and ar
rangements made for their distribu
tion trouble Is feared within a few
days. Even men of wealth cannot ob
tain food with all their money.
Gens. Funston and Sumner, in com
mand of the federal troops, are ren
dering great service. Refugees who
go to the Presidio are being taken
care of, but the number that can be ac
commodated is limited.
Chief of Police Dlnan said yester-
The Company Played Favorites.
Milwaukee, Wis. —Definite charges
that owners of deferred divi
dend policies in the Northwestern
Mutual Life Insurance Co. have been
made to suffer for the benefit of the
annual dividend policyholders was the
most sensational matter developed at
the insurance investigation Wednos
'/lay. Another interesting point was
the allegation that the expens • charge
taken Into consideration In tie allow
ance of dividends has In i n Increased
since 1809 n< arly 50 per cent., this
charge in 1899 having been 8.5 per
cent-, ugaliiat 12.5 per cent, sintv
day that "50 "-;uld fully cover the
number of dead. About 50 bodies
have thus far been found. There was
considerable shooting of looters on
Thursday, but the offenders escaped
with wounds.
San Francisco, Cal.—A wind of
high velocity is blowing from the
northwest over the Are stricken dis
trict along the water front and is
threatening to cut off communication
with Oakland and Berkeley. Cien.
Caster has ordered out a squadron of
men to endeavor to keep back the
flames which threaten the Union
ferry depot, the only means of egress
from the city. The water front emerg
ency hospital is endangered and the
officials in charge are prepared to
move their Quarters. The wind is of
such velocity that brick and granite
walls, weakened by the earthquake
and the subsequent Are, are falling
into the streets. Market street, the
principal avenue of escape from the
city to the ferry buildings, may be
blocked, thus shutting off the only
ready means of escape to the ferries.
The problem confronting the city
government and federal authorities is
how to feed the multitude of destitute.
Supplies are coming in by the train
load, but as yet the system of distri
bution is not in working order.
At the Presidio military reservation,
where probably 50,000 persons are
camped, affairs are being con
ducted with military precision. Water
is plentiful and rations are dealt out
all day long. The refugees stand pa
tiently in line and there is not a
murmur. This cnaracteristlc is ob
servable all over the city. The people
are brave and patient and the won
derful order preserved by them has
been of great assistance.
In Golden Gate park are encamped
200,000 persons. A huge supply sta
tion has been established there and
provisions are dealt out.
Many thousands are camped in va
cant lots and squares scattered about
the city, and these are the unfortu
nates that are hard to reach.
Fourteen men were killed Thursday
night by soldiers guarding the mint
and Policeman Joseph M. Myers was
bayonetted and killed by a national
guardsman in a dispute as to au
thority. The men at the mint were
killed for attempting robbery.
Eleven postal clerks, all alive,
were taken from the debris of the
postoffice Friday. All at first were
thought to be dead, but it was found
that, although they were buried in the
stone, every one was alive. They
had been for three days without food
or water. All the mail in the post
office was saved and business has
been resumed there.
At a meeting of bankers Friday Mr.
Lynch, of the First national bank, re
ported that a committee had examined
all the bank and safe deposit vaults
in San Francisco and found them all
intact. This makes it certain that the
money and papers on deposit are all
safe. It was also reported fhat the
books and records in the San Fran
cisco hall of records also escaped
serious injury.
From a three-story lodging house
at Fifth and Minna streets which col
lapsed Wednesday morning, more
than 75 bodies were taken out Friday.
There are 50 other dead bodies in
sight in the ruins. This building was
one of the first to take fire on Fifth
street. At least 100 persons were
killed in the Cosmopolitan on Fourth
street. The only building standing
between Mission, Howard, East and
Stewart streets is the San Pablo hotel,
which is occupied and running.
Many persons dropped dead Friday
of heat and suffocation. More than
150 persons are reported dead in the
Brunswick hotel.
San Jose, Cal.—Nineteen persons
were killed in San Jose by
the earthquake of Wednesday and the
entire business quarter was wrecked.
The damage is $5,000,000. One hun
dred and ten persons were killed and
70 were injured, mostly patients at
Agnew insane asylum, near San Jose.
The damage to the Pacific Milling
Co. at Santa Clara, a suburb of San
Jose, is $150,000. The total loss in
Santa Clara is $500,000. No loss of
life. At Gilroy $500,000 damage, no
one dead. The Southern Pacific tun
nel at. Wright's, nearly a mile long,
caved in.
Oakland, Cal. —To feed and
and house the unfortunate people of
San Francisco who have suddenly
been bereft of homes- and means of
livelihood is calling forth the best ef
fort of the people of this city. At
least 200,000 people have come to this
side of the bay and are now distribut
ed among the homes of Oakland, Ala
meda and Berkeley. While hundreds
have found lod'-'ing with friends,
there are the countless poor who are
dependent upon charity.
Washington, D. C.—Every branch
of the government service from
the president down is bending
every effort to bring to the earthquake
sufferers speedy relief. The cabinet
on Friday considered the San Fran
cisco situation and it was decided that
Secretary Metcalfe should proceed to
that city as the representative of the
national government and to consult
with the authorities as to what is
needed to alleviate distress.
It is realized here by one and all
that independently of outside aid the
federal authorities have a duty to per
form, which, to make it count, must
be performed with all possible dis
patch. Every available vessel in the
vicinity of San Francisco has been ,1i
reeled to carry supplies of every de
scription to the stricken city.
