THE MOMENT AFTER THE HAVOC.

The People Partly Frenzied and Partly
Paralyzed by It's Magnitude.
The cries of the survivors and the groans
of the injured mingled together and added
to the appalling nature of the disaster. At
first there could be no organized effort at
rescue. Hundreds Of homes had been de-
molished, husbands and wives, parents and
children had been separated, and each know
ing nothing of the condition of the others
ran frantically from place to place looking
for the lost. Thousands of others were par
alyzed with the immensity Of the catastro-
phe and knew not what to do. But not for
long. AS soon as the first feeling of help
lessness had passed away large crowds as
sembled and began a search, but the means
were inadequate, and the heartrending cries
that broke the air completely unnamed
the searchers.
The Flames Finish the Work.
AS if to add to the horror fire at once
broke out in all parts Of the devastated dis
trict, and the bewildered fremen knew not
which of the half dozen places to 60 to first.
James McCullom was burned to death at
Twentieth and Maple and Nick Sullivan,
William Dilmer, and Ben Chelt were caught
in the timbers of Tierman's saloon and burnt
to a crisp When the remains were recovered
they were so badly disfgured that Sulli-
vans father could not tell which had been
his son. Six frame houses on either side of
the saloon were also destroyed The loss Of
life and property is at present incalculabe.
It will require long days Of painful search
and computation to reach proper estimate,
but it is certain that no such havoc has
ever been recorded before for an American
city from such cause
Estimate of the Losses-RelieE
The board of trade has appointed q commit
tee of relief, consisting of fifty members.
They divided the city among them and went
to work at once. Estimates of the property
lost vary from 1900, 900 to %, 100000 The
insurance is probably small. The board of
relief issued an address tn the people stating
that portion Of the city 400 yards wide and
three miles long through the business and
residence districts had been devastated with
q great loss of life and about $1,000, 900
worth of property. The address states that
while the calamity is great our citizens feel
able to cope with it. Offers of relief have
been received from all directions.

THE TIMES has no doubt that the Tariff
bill prepared by the Ways and Means COM
mittee is just what the people voted for
when they elected Harrison President with
Republican majority in each house of
Congress. The Tariff bill as reported and
published i'm full in the N. Y. Tribune seems
to us in most respects nearly perfect, though
we regret that sugar was not placed on the
free list. Yet 1t is beyond doubt, the best
bill presented to Congress since the Morrill,
bill of 1861, and it should and undoubtedly
will receive the enthusiastic support Of the
majority in each house, and become law
speedily.

MAYOR HAZARD CLAIMS DONE
CAMS GARBAGE is HARMLESS.
Varied Opinions Expressed by the Board
of Health Last Night-Dr. MacGowan
Comedies = DR.. kurtz Thinks Diff
ferently.

The board of health met in the
mayors Office last night for the first
time for some weeks, Mayor Hazard in
the chair and Drs. Davisson, M. Hagan
]. Kurtz and Health Officer MacGowan
present.
A number of demands, amounting in
the aggregate to $20S, were approved.
A communication was received from
the city clerk informing the board that
the matter OF the compl aints made
against Donegan's garbage dumping
ground had been referred to it by the
council for inve stigation. After some
discussion of the question and hearing
Health Officer MacGowan's report on
the matter, the board on motion of DR..
Hagan, reported the matter back to the
council with the report that after investi-
CATION the board found that no nui-
ance is being maintained at the place
designated in the complaint.
DR.. Kurtz entered at this iuncture,
and on learning what had transpired,
stated that in his opinion Donegan had
already been allowed too much latitude
IN the matter of his crematory and his
garbage contract. He believed that
Donegan would continue to dilly-dally
with the matter as long as he could.
There was no question in his mind about
the matter being nuisance.
Mayor Hazard said that he had been
over the ground yesterday, and would
defy anyone, who had been previously
blindfolded, to detect the presence of
garbage when led ON to the dumping
Ground IL ,Nlalrol l., IL 4bo+
tenths of the barrels left on the side
walks of the city at night emitted worse
odors than could be detected at the
dumping ground.
DR.. Kurtz argued the matter with the
moving that DR.. Kurtz be appointed
and suggest solution of the difficulty.
DR.. Kurtz said that it was useless to
suggest remedy of the evil. because
the council had ignored the board, here
tofore, altogether in this matter. An
other prolonged discussion ensued, but
no further action was taken and the
matter was dropped.
The petition of Alphonso Lieber ct al,
property owners on Darwin avenue, ask
ing that the board take steps to enforce
the owners of lots 16 and II of the Pio-
neer Building association to fill them in
and grade them before the rainy season
commences, as by reason of their low
ness water collects there and becomes
stagnant, was referred to the health
officer. This matter also gave rise to a
discussion, and Mayor Hazard took ad-
vantage OF the opportunity to trot out
his natural drainage" hobby.
Finally on DR.. Davisson's substitute
motion, the clerk was directed to notify
the petitioners that their only remedy
lay in the courts, the health officer hav-
ing reported that the nuisance was
caused by the parties themselves in fill
ing up their lots.
The board then lapsed into an in
formal discussion of the nuisance, street
grading and other questions, but ad-
journed without having taken further
action

HUBERT WILKE.
His First Appearance in This City at
the Grand.

Mr.. Hubert Wilke made his bow for
the first time before a Los Angeles
audience at the Grand last night. The
play was Clay M. Greene's latest per-
formance Peti the Vagabond, Mr.. Wilke
taking the title role, and assaying the
character of wandering Hungarian
Gypsy with passion for violin. The
play is different from most of Mr..
Greene's attempts; withal it introduces
number of songs set to the tunes of a
peculiar Hungarian character.
There is not much scope for acting
excepting in this one role. The other
participants are used merely to aid in
the development of Petis' story. Clay
Green never could get within one gun
shot of any conception of a character
that would pass muster for lady. He
seems at all times to have some star
hat'' damsel in his minds eye. In
other respects the piece cannot be
called successful bit of dramatic con-
struction, although it has here and there
a good point in it.
Mr.. Wilke has an excellent voice
which has been we'll trained, but he
sings with some effort.
There was very fair audience pres
ent, and they enjoyed the play very
much on the whole.
The play is on for the week.
