A Large Rainfall-Loca1 Notes and Per-
sOnals.
LA CREsCENTA, Dec. 8.-The raln1aii
of last week amounted to S.5 inches in
this locality, exceeding that OF the same
season last year, for up to February I'd
only inches had fallen, and on the I'd OF
May (the day of the last rain), the sea-
sons rainfall aggregated only 1914
inches. These figures are taken from
General Shields record, made at his
place, which has an elevation OF 230O
feet. The recent rain was an ideal one
in every respect, coming as 1t dld,
gently and steadily, and soaking into
the ground where it would do the most
good, instead of making washes as it
sometimes does on this inclined plain.
Mr.. Langmuir and family have ar
rived and taken possession OF their

Gan Francisco Market Review.

BAN FRANCISCO, Dec. S.-The vegetable mar

are dull, with slow sales at quotations,
Business in the fresh fruit market was quiet.

InCendiarY Fire.

fire was discovered in the upstairs
south room of Mrs. Wallace's resi-.
dence on Oakland street. near Lex.
ington avenue, and soon 1t spread and
communicated with the other rooms.
The ladies, among them Mrs. Hal.
Costing and her two daughters, for
tunately awoke in time and saved
themselves and their effects. The
alarm was turned in by Postmaster
Johnson and the firemen responded
very promptly, and the building,
though considerably damaged, was
saved. The chemical engine did not
turn out. During the fire fireman of
the Second ward hose company, Chas.
McCabe, was injured by being struck
with piece of hose, which had got
loose from the nozzle men. The fire

A MISTAKE.
Will Watson not the Man he was
Represented to be.

Will Watson not the Man he wa.
Represented to be.
4 reporter for the LIGHT was
stopped yesterday by Acting CHIEF
Collins, of the fire department., who
made few remarks about Will Wat
son, the fireman who committed
suicide Saturday morning. He said:
"Mr. Watson was a good man, / had
him under me at the No. 2 engine
house in the hook and ladder depart.
ment for more than two months, and
during that time l never knew him
TO be drunk. To my certain knowl-
edge he was not q drinking mar and
his past has been misrepresented."
watson was engaged to young
lady by the name OF Annie Greer, a
most chsrmiDg young girl residing in
the second ward. He had been quite
friendly in quiet way with an inmate
at Sada Rays house of ill.fame and
when he found that his money was
being spent in that direction and
also that he could not get rid of the
Indecent woman, and was afraid his
sweetheart would find it out, be took
his lite.u
This is the statement coming from
Mr.. Collins.
wATsoN's FUNERAL.
AS William Watson. the fireman,
who so suddenly died at the End
ward hose house Saturday morning
from the effects of an overdose Of
morphine, was found to be without
any means, whatever, bis kind
hearted fellow workmen assumed
the expenses of the burial.
Chief Collins ordered that full at.
tendance of the firemen be at the SER
vices at 10 O'Clock at No 2 engine
house on avenue c; also that the fire
bells OF the city be tolled at the hour
when his body was being removed to
the cemetery. This was done. At
10 O'Clock, the hook and ladder house
was filled with uniformed,
sad hearted firemen and num-
Der of friends of the deceased,
among whom was Miss Greer, the in
tended bride of the unfortunate man.
The services were of most affecting
character, being conducted by Rev.
Joyce, of the Sherman Street Nj. E
church, and the comrades of the de.
ceased were touched deeply by the
most appropriate remarks of the di-
vine. The occasion, though sad in
deed, had a tendency to find the
hearts of the boys, and many of them
wept bitterly at the thought of one of
their number having To be lowered
into his last resting place. The en-
gines and entire fire department
turned out, with Assistant Chief Col.
Inns at the head. and followed the
body to the grave, where it was laid
and where the words dust to dust"
and "ashes 10 ashes" were so touch
ingly said.

Robbed a Till.

Saturday night about 10 O'Clock a
negro man stepped into Mrs. A. Fried
rick's store on San Pedro avenue and
Macon streets and asked for a small
purchase and while the lady's face
was turned, he leaned over the
counter and snatched the till open
and secured q small handful of coin.
AS he ran out of the place, Mrs.
Friedrich called for help. A street
car was passing and one of the city
pound men happened to be aboard.
He fired two shots at the fleeing
negro but this did not stop him and
he escaped.

In the United States at present there
are about l,250,00O Jews. There are
533 Hebrew congregations, divided be-
tween the orthodox and reformed Jews
In the orthodox congregations the men
still sit with their hats on, and the wom-
on occupy seats apart from the rest. No
women singers are allowed in the choir.
In the reformed or liberal congregations
the usages are much the same as prevail
in Christian churches in reference to
such matters. 1t is more difference of
rite and ceremony that divides the two
branches than difference of radical
doctrine. There are more reformed
Jews than orthodox in the United States.
