ARRIVAL OF THE CRESCENT CITY.
New YORK, June 1913, =. NJ

NEW ORk, June lO-lZ, /. w.
The Crescent City, with San Francisco
dates of May 18th, has just arrived. She
does not bring the mails. She brings 527
passengers and $4,000 in gold dust.
The Crescent City is detained at quar-
antine, and her news was brought up by
special boats, and will not reach the city
till morning.
The Alta Californian OF the 4th Of May
thus announces the great conflagration in
that city:
SAN FRANCISCO AGAIN IN AsHEs!-The
smoke and flames are ascending from
several squares Of our city, as if the god
Of destruction had seated himself in our
midst. and was gorging himself and all his
ministers OF devastation upon the ruins Of
our doomed city and its people. About
1 o'clock last night the cry of"frc" start
led every one like an earthquake. The
fire had Just commenced in pantshop
on the west side of Portsmouth square, ad-
Joining the Bryant House, as formerly call
ed, but more recently the American Hotel.
1t was but slight blaze when first seen,
but in five minutes the whole upper story
was full of flames. Before the engines
could get upon the ground and commence
playing, the American House on one side,
and store, occupied by Messrs. Rhodes
as a furnishing establishment, were in
flames. The buildings in the vicinity be-
ing all of wood and extremely combustible
the fire spread up Clay street. back towards
Sacramento. and down Clay towards
Kearny with frghtlul rapidity.
1t soon had full command, and the fire
department could only work upon the bor-
ders, and endeavor to check its progress
by anticipating it. In this they succeeded
on the north side before it reached Dupont
street. but in every other direction in which
it could spread it took its own COURSE
There was little chance to save much Of
the movables. To the south it spread to
Bush streat, and to the east part of Jack
son street, sweeping everything from east
of Dupont street TO the wharves. The
blocks between Dupont and Kearny sts.,
west Of Portsmouth square as far as Bush
street, three in number, are in ashes. Be-
tween Bush and Jackson and Kearny and
Montgomery, five in number. all are burn
ed down. Besides these thirteen blocks,
almost every building of which is destroy.
ed, there are many others.
1t is impossible to even guess at the
number Of buildings or the amount ofprop-
erty destroyed A thousand buildings is
within the bounds of truth, we Judge, and
$1O,O0O,OO0 could not replace the terrible
destruction. Some place it twice or three
times as high. 1t is sufficient 10 say that
more than three.forths OF the business part
of the city is nothing but smouldering
cinders.
The principal buildings destroyed are
the following. to-wit: the Custom-house.
Union Hotel, Parker House, Jones' Hotel,
Adelph Theatre, Dramatic Museum, Ma
tional Hotel, New World, City Hotel, Del
monico's, Merchants Exchange, Post Of
fee building, the ships Mantle and Gen.
eral Harrison, and every newspaper office
except the Alta Californian. Nearly or
quite all the banks are in the burnt district.

wretchedness as to render it impossible
for teachers to govern the moral and in.
telectual capacities of the youth attending

ence and appathy of parents, the want Of
preparation in teachers, and the laxity and
unfaithfnlness of school officers are great.

"Mr J. w. BRIGGs, of this city. has received

valuable inventions ever made in The Buckeye

To PosTMAsTERs.-The editor of lho
New York Evangelist, in his paper Of July
IS, 1850, says "A case Of gross careless
ness and injustice on the part of distant
Postmaster, who suffered copy of our pa
per 20 come for years to his office, after it.
discontinuance by subscriber, induced us
to inquire of the Postmaster General wheth.
er there was any right Or wrong on the SUBJ
ject, as recognized by the Department. A
prompt answer informs us that an imperative
lao required every Postmaster to give mme-
date notice to publisher when his paper is
not taken out of the office, and also to frank
his letter giving such notice. We may state,
as an indication of the feeling in the De-
partment on this subject, that the Postmaster
in the case referred to, was promptly re.
quired 10 show cause why be should not be

1t frequently occurs that Postmaster re-
turns paper sent TO subscriber with the
ineligible words please discontinue wriI>

of the post-oifice from or to which it is sent.

out, is 10 write the publisher the facts of the
case, with the reasons IL known.
