EARTHQUAKES IN CALIFORNIA.
The Pacific Coast Gets a Lively Shaking
Up By Repeated Shocks.


Up BY Repeated shocks.
The California coast has had a series
! IF earthquake shocks. the severest ex'
perienced since 1883. The country
within 200 miles of San Francisco was
considerably shaken up. In San Fran
| risco a number of large buildings trem-
| bled perceptibly, but the only one to sus-
| tain damage was an old church building,
which until lately had been occupied by
! the Academy of Sciences, the front wall
of which gave way, tearing away the
/ balconies.
The town of Vacaville. situated in the
| heart of the beautiful Vacaville Valley,
| sixty-five miles from San Francisco, was
the center of disturbance. VacaVille Is
a town of 2700 population, and on its
main street were a number of brick
buildings Many were totally destroyed,
as well as a number of brick houses in the
town and vicinity. Very slight damage
occurred to frame houses.
Dixon and Winters, towns of about
1900 inhabitants, located respectively
northeast and northwest of VacaVille
and within a few miles of the latter
place, were also the scenes of consider.
able destruction. The Masonic Hall at
Dixon, two-story brick building, was
ruined and its falling walls shattered ths
adjoining houses.
At Winters the inhabitants were foI
a time panic stricken, owing to the Sc
verify of the shock. Forty guests were
in the Bliss Hotel at Winters, the walls
of which collapsed, and the fact that no
one was injured by the caving of the
walls was remarkable. Old and new
brick buildings in Winters were cracked
and wrenched from their foundations.
The banks of Putah Greek caved in, and
assures opened in the bottom of the
creek.
The shocks extended over period of
four days, and the damage resulting is
estimated at 100000. No lives were
lost, although several cases of injury |
from falling debris are reported.

The number OF deaths reported
during the week ending Saturday

with an annual dea 'h>rate of 22.4
The number reported for the co
responding period Of last year
was one hundred ard seventy
seven, with an annual death rate
Of 36 8.-The same difference is
noticeable in the returns througko
out the month, owing maiuly to
the absence of e Epidemic OF
Influenza, which at this time of
last year was at it's height. At the
present rate of mortality the city
is at its normal degree of health,
the rate for the last fourteen years
being about 22.8. Contagious dis
eases do not prevail to such al |
extent in fatal form as to excite
anxiety, there having been IN
four such cases during the we k,
and Only one death from typhoid
fever Deaths from acute lung
complaints declined from twenty
four to eleven and from kidney
maladies from seven 10 four, the
decrease being principally On ac>
count of the absence OF causes su-
perlnducing pneumonia.
