WINTERS, Cal, April 21.-Another
shock of earthquake occurred here at
9 40 a. M, throwing down Masonic hall,
building, Bertholet's two
story stone building, Humphrey Bros.'
one-story stone building, and generally
demolishing goods, fixtures, etc. One
man was badly hurt by a falling wall,
and Miss Clara Jessen, milliner, was
hurt, and others more or less injured.
Business is suspended. Main street is a
scene of desolation. A fire in the rear of
Mrs. Clark restaurant was put out, so
there is no damage yet from that source.
J. Devilbiss' house, one mile west, is a
total wreck, also Bakers adobe, and J.
r. Wolfskill's stone dwelling. 1t is now
cloudy and raining a little.
SACRAMENTO BADLY SHAKEN.
SACRAMENTO, April 21.-Another Sc
we're earthquake shock occurred this
morning at AS o'clock, lasting 20 sec
onds. Buildings got lively shaking,
and plastering fell from many ceilings.
Several chimneys toppled over, and
much glassware was broken in the crock
cry stores. The public schools were
dismissed. All the pupils got out with
out creating panic. The state capitol
building suffered. A large portion of
one of the plaster statues over the porti-
co, $50 feet from the ground, fell and
struck 40 feet from the building. The
gigantic building trembled violently,
ond fbaro moc q o,aparoI avod1o of oIarl~s
1t was discovered that crack was made
in the ceiling extending from one end of
the building to the other, and going
through the Office of the superintendent
of public instruction clear into the as
sembly chamber. The beautiful ceiling
of the latter, which is formed of stucco
work tipped with gold, was rent in
places, as were also the Corinthian col
ums supporting the gallery. Books were
thrown from the shelves and general dis
order reigned.
PEOPLE PANIC STRICKEN.
In Woodland the shock was more Sc
we're than the one of Tuesday, and the
most substantial buildings were wrecked
or damaged. Business is practically
suspended, as people are fearing another
tremor. Some damage was done at
Esparto, but there are no details. In
Dixon the shock at 9 40 a. M, completed
the wreck threatened before, and but
two or three brick buildings in town are
safe. The occupants of the brick build
ings, who remained after the first shock,
are moving out. No one was injured,
but there were many narrow escapes.
The people are panic-stricken, and it is
believed the ruin of the town will be
completed before the shocks cease.
Every available mechanic and laborer
is at work attempting to clear away the
wreckage and take down the condemned
buildings before fatal accident occurs.
SAN FRANCISCO AND ELSEWHERE.
SAN Francisco, April 21.-A modera-
tely heavy earthquake shock visited San
Francisco at GAP this morning. The
vibrations were north and south, lasting
twenty seconds. In Davisville, the
shock was felt at 9:43, and was very
severe, vibrations running from south
east to northwest. It was of brief dura-
ton, lasting no more than five seconds,
yet in severity it seemed to exceed that
of the 18th. The additional damage is
noticeable in the rear walls of the Ma
sonic and Odd Fellows hall, where the
fissures show considerable enlargement
and are now really dangerous should the
vibrations continue. In Chico, the
shock lasted thirty seconds, vibrations
north to south. Lamps in buildings al
over the city were set swinging, ceilings
in some places cracked and clocks
stopped. Rain has been steadily fallin,
since last night. In Napa, at 9 9:42, ths
shock was even heavier than that o
Tuesday morning. Several brick build
ings were cracked and much plaster fell
but nobody was hurt.
