followed it up by making two runs in the
third inning, Oakland added three to

iu the fifth inning, and from this up to
the eighth inning some good play
ing was done and neither side scored.
The eighth inning was productive OF a
run for the Oaklands, the score standing
5 to A in their favor, and they looked
like sure winners. In the ninth inning
however, the Oaklands got badly rat
tied, and their opponents piled VI
six runs without earning one OF them

The Fate of the Ktckers.

Saint Peter sits by the heavenly gates,
lis hands on the strings of Tyre, and he
sings q low song as he patiently waits,
for the souls of those who expire. He
hears in the distance a chorus of song,
that swells at the foot of the throne. and
he smiles as the music is waited along,
and MARBLES this lay of his own: There
is room in this region for millions of
souls, who by sorrow and woe were be-
reft; tits for those who have suffered, the
melody rolls, but the kickers must turn
to the left. There is room for the
people who, when they were young,
persisted in sowing wild oats, but who
doomed up their town with sinew and
tongue; the kicker must go with the
goats. There is room for the people who
pointed with pride to the beauty and
growth of their town, who kept singing
their praises and charms until they died,
but the kickers will please amble down.
They'd say the music was all out of tune,
and the angelic robes hand me-down, and
they'd send for a jeweler off from the
moon, to sample the gold in the crowns.
So, while there IL room for million oi
souls, who by sorrow and woe were be-
reft, we want no complaint of the music
| that rolls, so the kickers will turn to the
| left u--IS Stolen.

flooded, and fire broke out on Water

the wharf of John o. Gamage & Son.
Savage, Son & Company's, commits
sion merchants, was in flames. The
old cotton exchange building containing
COA hoIoa Of oottnp ond tho h arrco Of
Perry & Co., containing about 600 bales
of cotton, were totally destroyed. Santos
& Bro, coal dealers, lost everything ex
cept their Office building. The loss on
the building and stock destroyed in this
block is estimated at $3.50, 900, partially
insured. 1t is probable that the losses
sustained by the wholesale grocery mer-
chants from the water forced into their
warehouses by the unpr recedented tide
will nearly equal this amount. Hundreds
of barrels of sugar and -four and other
goods are ruined. During the storm the
roofs of the opera-house, of the Masonic
Temple and of many dwellings were torn
off, the Virginia Beach railroad depot
was badly Injured; and the track for
hundreds of yards seriously damaged.
In Portsmouth fire destroyed the lime
and lumber yard of Trugil & Hill.
The United States ship Pensacola sank
in the dry dock last night, where she was
being repaired for sea. One of her sea
valves had been opened for inspection
and another one was out. The tide
flooded the dock and she filled with
water, and, getting off her keel, sank
before she could be gotten in position
again. The Simpson dry dock was
flooded, and the damage will reach
$40, 900.
The wires along the coast are all down.
No reports can be had from shipping. 1t
is feared that serious damage has been
done, as there was no warning OF the
storm given.

Keel for an Hour and Half.
SAN Francisco, April About 10
O'Clock this morning Joseph Miller and
wife and John Moro and wife, embarked
in Whitehall boat, intending to take
sail around the Bay. Miller is Chan
mel Island man by birth, and good sea-
man. Moro is an Italian. They sailed
over to Angel Island, took luncheon,
and started homeward. Soon the strong
current caught the hull of the boat, while
at the same time strong gust of wind
struck the sails. The boat capsized i'm
mediately and the occupants were thrown
into the water. All but Mrs. Moro
went under, but, on rising, managed to
catch hold of the keel of the boat, as did
also Mrs. Moro later. In this manner
the party drifted out toward the ocean
on the ebb tide. The cold waves
dashing over them chilled them
through, while the fear of death
from their exposed position speedily ex-
hausted them. After they had been in
the water for an hour and half, the
yacht Virginia passed and picked them
up. Late this evening, Moro, although
very i'll, is quietly resting, but the two
women are in very low condition, and
it is considered doubtful ii they will re-
cover.

they did not succeed. Efforts are being
made to make this anniversary an affair
of such magnitude that it will be at
tended by the French people from over
