A Nun AvALAScnE.-Owing to the
pressure ofs bank OF snow upon n
OF the fumes Of tho Water Company,
said fluns gave way this morning and
let a considerable flood Of water and
mud down against the residence of A.
J, Ralston, OF the Bank Of California.
The building stands at tho foot OF tho
eastern slope OF Mount Davidson, and
In the rear OF the promises was built
up wall asa bulkhead OF considerable
hight. This the pressure Of the water
and earth threw down, aud following
Its fall came 4 considerable i%nundatlon
OF sluin. The mixture OF mud aud
rocks crowded down until 1t filled q
sort Of area In the rear Of the building
and pressed against the side oil tue
house, crushing In a portion Of the
back wall aud flowing Int the main
hall. Tho damage Is not great and
will SOC be repaired. Some water
flowed into tho hall OF the building,
not enough to do any great damage.
A large gang OF men was ut work this
forenoon at shoveling away the snow
and making preparations To- repair the
Hume aud bulkhead. Tho flume
(which was covered up In q snow bankl
had been breaking for some time, but
the water was supposed to come from
tho melting snow. The settling OF tue
snow had pushed the ilume down tile
hill and crowded 1t apart.
