lowed by a succession of shIill screams from
the female employees and shouts from the
men.
The stand went down in a heap It
seemed as II every portion of it COLLAPSED at
once, pitching the frightened employees head
long TO the ground. One hundred and fifty
men, boys and girls were thrown together
in a confused heap. 1t was a struggling,
writhing mass of humanity, each one fight
ing and tearing and shreking in the effort
to escape being crushed to death. Men had
their coats and shirts torn from their bodies
before they could regain their feet, and half
dozen girls narrowly escaped having their
lives crushed out When the men who were
not injured regained their feet they quickly
helped their companions to free themselves
from the debris. and in short time every
body no was not hurt was safe beyond
the wreck. Lying motionless under heap
of boards and iron was William Fischen-
dorf. veteran mechanic. Blood was flow
Ing from his mouth and ears but so far
as the employees could determine he had no
external wounds. His body was carried to the
factory and doctor was called to attend
him. The doctor recommended that he be
sent to his home at 4S7 Lake street, but
before he reached there he died. Dora
with her father when the crash came, was
also picked up unconscious. Her nose was
broken, her face cut in a frightful man
ner, and 1t was thought she had been in
jured internally. Her father escaped with
a few slight bruises. Elhart GrplluI of
3c4 South Robey street was lying under a
h ap of boards also unconscious. He was
taken home, where it was found that his
lungs had been seriously injured August
Harke of 1872 Robey street was similarly n-
capped with sprained ankle, while John
Cahler, tifteen-year-old lad, had his ankle
broken. The injured men were all sent
home and surgeons employed to look after

JUGGLING WITHJUSTICE
Curious Work of a Police Court
Attorney.

A fragrant case of Police Court chicanery
was presented yesterday in the balling out
of a man, convicted aud in prison, upon
bond. 1t aroused the anger of McKenna,
who was the principal prosecutor, and the
Police Judges as we'll.
Thomas Fogarty, saloon-keeper at 519
East street, was arrested ON July 7th for
violating the liquor law. Soon after he was
convicted in the Police Court and sentenced
to term of Imprisonment in the County
Jail. His case was appealed to the Superior
Court, and yesterday remitttur sustaining
the decision was received in Police Court l.
A bench warrant was accordingly issued for
the mans arrest. 1t was served by an Off
Ger in proper course, ana FOgArty locked up
in prison. Then of course his 500 cash bail
was handed back TO the depositor.
Fogarty saw his attorney, Ben Napthalv,
n police court practitioner, who be;hought
him of plan to get his client free. Napth-
ally went to Judge Lawler, and by some
means got Fogarty out on bond. Now the
saloonman had not even the 500 cash bail,
called for in the original warrant on de-
pOsit.
In the morning Mr.. McKenna discovered
the trick and had Fogarty rearrested. This
was the second arrest in twenty-four hours.
The Judges were acquainted of the exact
condition Of Fogarly's case, and were ac-
cordingy on their guard. So when Napthaly
approached Judge Rix he refused to accept
bond and ordered Fogarty into custody.
Nothing daUnted the attorney got a bail
bond from Clerk Doran of No. Court,
who has power TO issue bonds without the
Judges signature. DOran. it is said was
misled by Napthaly's statement, and was
not to blame. But when Judge Lawler saw
the bond it was set aside.
FOgarty is now at liberty without either
bail or bond as security for his appearance
in court. He is convicted and should be in
Jail. He will be arrested TODAY

ONLY A RUIN.
What Is Left After the Big Fire.
Not in SarOni's.

Nothing but blackened and crumbling
walls and great mass of debris with wires,
piping and charred wood work was left of the
handsome business structure at the corner
of Davis and Sacramento streets after the
fire of Thursday night.
The safes were saved, though all are not
out of the ruins yet. Although the fire was
practically extnguished engines were work
ing all day long pumping water into the
smoldering pile of wood and merchandise to
cool it quickly and prevent a spread of fire
from where sparks still emitted curls of
smoke.
The walls will have to be torn down to
the ground, as they were cracked and
warped by the intense heat.
The totalloss is estimated at about $780,

which was worth S125,000

facturers, who employed seventy-five girls
and seventy-fve Chinese, lost $4,000; Ii.
Dutard, the commission merchant, says that
his losses are very light He saved his
books, the most valuable part of his stock.
In the account of the big fire which re-
duced the Wangenheim Building to ashes on
Thursday night the statement of one OF the
earliest spectators at the scene of the blaze
was published in yesterdays CALI, TO the
effect that the fire originated in that portion
of the building occupied by Saroni & Co.
In conversation yesterday afternoon Louis
SarOn, member of the firm, stated he was
on the premises all of the evening, and
knows that his wOrkmen quit work at 10
o'clock. Fifteen minutes later he himself
went to the upper floor. saw that every
thing was in proper order, put out
the gas and returned to his Office
downstairs and began to do his
office work on his typewriter. 1t was not
long after until he heard a crash, and run
ming upstairs, he found Liebes' factory in
flames. The rafters and joists overhead
were ablaze, and cnders and sparks were
falling down through the light well, where
they struck the leather betting and rebounded
into the Saroni premises.
Mr.. Saroni states that the losses have all
been satisfactorily adjusted by the insurance
companies, and that his only object in re-
futing the published statement is that his
business may not be considered hazardous
one. The firm hope TO open up their bust
ness in about ten days at their new estab-
lishment, where considerable of their stock
had been moved before the fire.

After the employees ceased work for the
loon recess they fastened down to the court
yard, climbed up on the seats of the amphi-
theater and got ready to pose for the
photograph. The structure creaked and

supporting, but nobody paid any atten-

ceDtered ON LOveland, who was getting his
camera ready to take the picture. The pho

A Terrible Tragedy in West Virginia
Brought on by jealousy.
A telephone dispatch fIGm Grantsville,
Pa. says that Adam and Grant Richards,
who were visiting an uncle at Oxford, went
to corn-husking a few nights since, Adam
taking his young and pretty wife with him.
During the evening the usual country games,
in which kissing takes prominent part,
came off. Grant universally selected his
Cousins petty wife as his choice among the
many misses, maids and matrons, and there
by excited Adams jealousy. On their way
home Adam chided his cousin, and warned
him to desist In future.
In the morning at the breakfast table the
subject came up again, but the men left the
house apparently good friends. They had
not left the yard, however, before Grant
drew knife and attacked his cousin, cutting
him almost in pieces. He then walked into
the house and told the woman that she was
to blame for the murder, picked up his gun
and made for the hills, but was overtaken
and captured that night. Adams heart was
completely severed and two ribs cut away.
Many threats of lynchng the murderer were
made, but he was hustled off to the county
seat and safely lodged in jail.-Pittsburg

A FRISCO VICTORY.
SacramentOs Easily Defeated by
the Home Team Yesterdays

The Senators were easy victims for the
Metropolitans in their game at Emeryville
yesterday and were 'tneyer in it from the
start
Firms team of erstwhile cripples played
all around them in every department and
took such lead in the beginning as to rob
the contest Of all interest and excitement.
The batting of Firms men was very
heavy, especially in the third and ninth
innings, when several sharp hits were closely
punched. Hanley, in particular, did most
powerful stick service, pounding out two
long doubles and a triple, and making three
of the runs of his side.
The fielding was OF a variegated quality,
there being some wOefully wretched as well
as many startlingly clever plays executed.
Rube Levy made one-handed line catch in
the first inning that cut of sure home run,
and brought forth deafening cheers from the
very partisan audience. Roberts also gath
cred in a difficult fly after hard run. and
McHale, Goodenough and Stevens did some
pretty work in their positions.
Roscoe Coughlin was in the box for the
Nets, and although 1t looked at first as
though he would be severely handled he
got through the game allowing but six seat
tered hits and retired nine men on strikes.
Speer caught him in good style.
Bowman evidently thought better of his
foolish action, for he rejoined the team in
the morning after taking two unnecessary
railroad trips to and from Sacramento. and
the fatigue of which had a detrimental
effect On his work both with and behind the
bat.
In the absence of Umpires Meegan and
Gagus, Al Foreman, an eX-umpire Of the
league, otficiated Although unquestiOn-
ably honest in his motives Foreman rem
dered several poor base decisions and lacked
frmness in his rulings.
A base on balls and four life-sized errors
gave the FriScos three runs III tie first in
ming. Another trio came home in the third
on Ebrights safe shot, Hanley's double and
singles by Levy, Everett and Speer. They got
no more till the eighth, when CahilPS error
shOrtstops' second misplay of the inning
gave them another. In the ninth they
tackled on five more. Hanley led off with
double, and was followed by Levy and
Everett, who made singles. Speer and
Coughlin flew to Roberts. but 1saacSun got
to first on balls and Shea's drive was fun
bled by Cahill. Stevens then hit to center
and Shea was caught between second and
third and the audience thought declared
out. Cedar, however, got ratified aud
threw the ball wild, Shea running home and
the umpire allowed the tally.
The Senator'S two runs were made in the
first and third. GOodenOugh led off with a
lard line drive. which Levy dropped, and
the center fielder came home on Roberts
beautiful triple. Their second run was
made on Hanley's muff of Bowman's fly,
Everett's juggle of Goodenough's grounder
and Days sacrifice.
The same teams play this afternoon at
Haight street. with Harper and Bowman in
the points for Sacramento and LOokabaugh
and Speer as the battery for the home team.
