SAN FRANcIsco, Oct. 16.-Early this
morning the severest thunder storm
experienced here in several years COM
menced, and continued until noon.
Rain fell heavily, and was accompanied
by thunder and lightning. The thunder
was remarkably loud for California, and
was the cause Of general comment in
the city today. Rain also fell through
out the northern portion of the state
and in the Sacramento valley. Some
damage to crops, particularly grapes, Is
reported. In San Francisco new sewer
burst, causing damage estimated at $500.
The signal service reports that during
the late storm rain fell in Washington,
Oregon, Northern California, Northern
Nevada, Northern Utah, and in Idaho.
The rainfall was quite heavy in the
Sacramento valley, and along the coast,
north of San Francisco. Rain has also
fallen in the Salinas valley. and threat
ening weather prevails in the San
Joaa llin valley as far south as Fresno.
A sand storm, from the northwest, be-
gan at Fresno at a 10 p. m. today,
Snow has fallen in the mountains east
OF Sacramento and north of Red Bluff
Generally clear weather has prevailed
in Southern California and Arizona, but
with abnormally low temperature. II
has been decidedly cooler throughout
Northern California, Arizona, Nevada,
Utah, Idaho and Eastern Oregon. The
rainfall at San Francisco was .98 OF an
inch at Sacramento, 20; Red Bluff,
.72; Eureka, .64. y.

Animals That Tiuule.

The taste for alcohol is not confined to
human beings. Animals with a little prac-
tice become topers. A scientific writer says
that he has never seen a dog that could re-
sist bread soaked in beer, and Richardson
tells of cat that was taught by some
children to drink wine. 'She would
amuse company by taking her share Of
old port, and becoming first excited and
then very stupid, unsteady and sleepy"
The poor beast became dropsical and died
of liver disease, but then it had been
drenched with drink far beyon the limits
of moderation, and the usual results fol
lowed.
Richardson also tells of how he was driv-
ing near Canterbury, England, when the
horse stopped short at public house. 81
asked the driver what that was for The
horse said he, always stops here for his
beer. He wouldn't go by on no account
You couldn't whip him by, sir, till he has
had his beer. His former master taught
him to drink beer and invariably treated
him to it, and here he'll stop till he gets
it, 1t was the fact. A large tankard of
beer was brought out for that horse, and
he disposed of the fluid with as much rel
ish as his master, and then went his way"

morning about 8 o'clock an alarm OF fire
was sounded at the works of the Paten

Millionaire Bells Accidental Death in
San Francisco.

Millionaire Bell's Accidental Death in
San Francisco.
SAN Francisco, Oct. 16.-Thomas Bell,
a well-known capitalist and pioneer,
last night, while leaning over the rail
ing OF the hall on the second story OF
his house, fell to the floor below, and
received injuries from which he died to-
day. He was prominent in financial
matters throughout the state, and had
amassed great wealth. His housekeep
er was Mammie Pleasant, the negrese
who achieved notorety in the Sharon
divorce case, and il was at the Bel
mansion that she shielded Mrs. Sarah
Althea Terry when the latter became
insane.
Mr.. Bell, while in dazed condition,
resulting from several weeks sickness,
arose from bed, and attempting to e
down winding stairway, lost his bal
ance and fell TO the floor, 15 feet below
The fall broke his tight leg and caused
concussion of the brain.
Bell was Scotchman, rs years old
and came to California in 1849, by way
of Mexico. He took q position with
Baron Forbes q Co., owners of the AL
MAIDEN quicksilver mines, and had ever
since retained his connection with thai
firm, succeeding to the entire owner
ship of the house. He came to San
Francisco in 1856. His wealth is esti-
mated at between one and two million
dollars.

Chemical Efrect Of Lightning.

lightning works chemically as well
as mechanically. It has the power of
developing a peculiar odor, which has
been variously compared to that of phos-
phorus, nitrous gas and most frequently
burning sulphur. Wafer mentions a
storm on the Isthmus of Darien which
diffused such a sulphurous stencil
through the atmosphere that he and his
marauding companions could scarcely
draw their breath, particularly when
they plunged into the wood. The Brit.
ish ship Montague was once struck by
globular lightning, which left such a
satanic SAVIOR behind it that the vessel
seemed nothing but sulphur, and every
man was suffocating.
About year ago the newspapers re.
corded similar experience of the crew
of another English ship while crossing
the north Pacific from China to the
States. In this case the crew had to
take to the rigging to prevent being
choked by the sulphur fumes.--Cham.

MINES AND MINING.
A New Group of Mines Near Yuma-Tl

New Group of Mines Near Yuma-The
GoIdprInce.
Interesting information has been re-
ceived by the HERALD from Allen j.
Smith, p well-known mining man, in
regard to the new and, comparatively
speaking, unknown group of gold mines
near Yuma, which he thinks are sure in
the near future to figure amongst the
bonanza class.
The mines are situated in the Sierra
Madre range of mountains, are 16 miles
east OF Yuma, and ~ miles from the
Southern Pacific railroad.
Mr.. Smith spent three weeks in exam
lining and prospecting the principal To-
cations which are considerably devel-
oped, and gives glowing description Of
the group, about as follows:
The principal mine is the Gold Mug
get. 1t has two shafts, one 145 feet and
the other 200 feet, together with 400 feet
OF drifts. The vein is contact. and
will average four feet of ore, which is
free milling. The lowest point reached
shows the ledge to be equally as rich
and stronger than any other part. The
average of the entire workings shows
the grade of ore to be exceptionally even
and of high grade. At the present time
there are $500, 900 in sight in this mine
alone. The gold is coarse and high
grade, being worth 500 an ounce.
The adjoining property to this is the
Sunrise, which shows up remarkably
we'll for the amount of development
work, and promises to be the bonanza of
the camp. The pay streak was four
inches on the surface, and at depth of
40 feet has widened out to six feet, and
averages 500 to the ton.
The extension of the southwest of the
Nugget shows up the whole distance
very strong. and at the principal point
of development there are six feet Of
solid ore and high grade.
Mr.. Wilbur, merchant of San Bernar-
dino, has located the second extension
of the "Nugget" on,the southwest side.
The ledge shows up strong, and prOmi-
ses to be valuable property, Mr.. Will
bur. on his way down from his location,
interviewed the Mexicans who were dry
washing in the gulches below, and found
they had So to the man for one days
work. The Mexicans work very extern
sively in the many gulches below this
gold belt, and not color of gold can be
found above these lodges, which have
been worked, thus showing that the
coarse gold comes from these mines.
Independent of this group, the placer
ground for distance of 40 miles south
west of the group is entirely rich: and
the near future will surprise many Cali
fornians that who allowed foreign
ers to come in and secure such bonan-
zas.

THE EXHIBITS FROM ABROAD.
Outlook for the Foreign Displays at the
Worlds Fair.

Outlook for the Foreign Displays at the
Worlds Fair.
There is general desire to have foreign
nations do the nice thing at the Worlds
fair, and with few exceptions they
are doing so. England is, of course, in
it. Business is business with her, and
politics never stands in the way of a
trade or even showing her wares. But
there is loud complaint that she is not
acting handsomely in the case of India.
The fact that the British authorities
have not done more to promote an ex-
hibit from India than to appoint an In
dian committee to see what can be done
in the matter has provoked criticism in
the cities of India, especially in Bonn
bay. Recently large meeting of Euro
pean, American and native men was
held at the rooms of the Royal Asiatic
society in the townhall of Bombay to
consider the subject of Indian represen-
tation at the fair. The money was
pledged and the exhibit will be made,
but it will be that of private men and
lack official guidance.
From all the provinces Of Australia
come assurances of fine exhibits. New
South Wales especially will make a
truly great and representative display.
From Sydney will be sent remarkable
astronomical clock. This clock is forty
five feet high and twenty-five feet square
at the base. Within it is exhibited the
motion of the sun, Mercury, Venus and
the earth revolving on its axis around
the sun and the moon around the earth.
The sun is to be represented by an cleo
trio light which will illuminate the sur
rounding planetary bodies.
In France there is some talk about the
Mckinley tariff in connection with the
exposition that at this distance sounds
illnatured. Mr.. Bernard, secretary of the
Paris chamber of commerce, fatty de.
clares against taking part because
French exhibitors twill not.be allowed
to sell their goods" Several other mem
bers agree with him. Others are more
friendly. M. Thiebaut, the eminent
bronze founder, sums up in sentence,
which shows that he knows good deal
about Chicago, thus: Public opinion
here varies greatly in the view that is
taken of the fair, but from what know
of America and Americans 1 am per-
suaded that the Chicago exhibition will
be either an enormous success or tre-
mendous fiasco. There will be no hal.
way business about it."
From all other countries Mr.. Walker
Fearn, chief for foreign affairs, reports
great and increasing interest. The ex.
hibits of all the old nations and the most
civilized of the new nations will, OF
course, be interesting, but one import.
ant feature of recent expositions has
been the new nations, SO to speak, which
have come in-Siam and Farther India,
Arabia and Northern Africa, Java,
Anam and others-all these are old
enough, but their appearance in Paris
surprised and delighted the western
world. Even more will it do so at Chi.
cago.
