Washington. Dec. 10-Now that the
West has come ont so brilliantly as a
factor Ia cluctiug the Democratic presi-
dent. there are many Democrats from
that section who believe that Mr. Cleye-
land should select Western man Tor
secretary Of the treasury. "a well as

West which promise 10 become stu more

Federal patronage at the command OF

important one with the Western hus-
tiers.
II is admitted by Mr. Cleyelands
friends that he could very well afford
this time 10 give the West one more
cabinet officer than it had under his
first administration. This additional
cabinet officer would naturally be ono of

engaged in a conversation with Contractor
Carroll OF Sacramento, who had come over
specially for the occasion, and in half an
hour Carroll had a force of men at work
front of the Deyilbiss Hotel. while al
other force was set TO work tearing out
damaged portions and strutting up weak
spots. Mr.. Carroll went all over the ruined
walls OF the hotel. the bank and other
buildings. On coming down he gave a re-
assuring view of the situation and reduced
the bill of damages materially. Very soon
after and while the townspeople were
cooking their breakfasts in stoves set out in
the open space, another force OF men was
set TO work clearing out WAITS tailor
store.
These examples had good effect and the
women. who manifested splendid courage
in all cases. busted themselves IN prepar-
ations for lunch and dinner. Mrs. Clarke,
whose place was among the worst wrecked,
established temporary restaurant in q
blaeksmith's shop. and with the aid Of half
dozen other women, equally plucky, fed
large number OF persons during the day.
The shop itself had been badly shaken up
and the roof was broken away In spots, but
no one finched, even while believing that q
shock, which might come at any time,
would wreck the structure completely. Mr..
Uevilblss set another force of men to work
erecting large frame shed on the field
where the tents were pitched, 20 serve as a
restaurant till the hotel can be rebuilt or
repaired. The shed went up with cheering
rapidity and was nearly completed at noon.
The following Is a fair estimate of the
damage done Oh Main street and elsewhe re
by the shocks of Tuesday and Thursday. 1t
will be seen that it is far below the ridicu-
lousy exaggerated figures furnished for
sensational purposes: Hotel Devibiss,
$500; Thompson's store, S7O0; F. III.
WAITS store, $1,000; Heard's barber-sbop,
$1,000; Day & Wyatt, $1,000; Henry Craner,

$500 ia bis pocket and until lately has raid
taxes on 100000 worth of property, all ac-
quired by honest toll and thrift. One of
the incidents of yesterday was q meeting
between Mr.. Devilbiss, who was in the
Eighth Missouri Regiment of the Confeder-
ate army, and General Allen of Governor
Markhams staff, who was in Missouri
regiment of the Union army The two
had met on many fields, but an earthquake
was something new and the bitterness of
war had been forgotten. They fraternized
cordially among the ruins of Winters.
The greatest damage done by the earth
quake outside of that wrought in the town
itself is in the wrecking of the county road
skirting Putah Greek, on the south side of
the town. A new road will have 10 be cut
through adjoining property, as dangerous
cliff fifty feet deep has been formed at the
spot where the embankment gave way. A
long zigZag assure six inches wide extends
right along the center OF the roadway As
in nearly every other case the assure runs
north and south.
One Of the most singular effects observed
is the manner in which many doorways
have been wrenched and twisted, while in
other instances windows have been turned
nearly upside down, sashes ana ALL without
the glass being broken.
The prospects are that If there are no
further shocks tomorrow, and the pleasant
respite of to-day is repeated, con6denc will
be completely restored and this lovely town
VIII soon spring Into commercial activity
again. There Is strong sense Of indigna-
tion among the townspeople at the manner
In which their misfortune has been made

count purely for sensational purposes. aud

made on them in the midst of their sorrows.
with selfish disregard alike of their feel
ings and of the commercial future OF their
town. 1t is not unlikely that the act will
recoil sharply on the perpetrators.
An offer of 90 more tents has been made
by the State Government. but they will
probably not be needed If all continues
quiet tonight tomorrow will see most of
the residents in frame dwellings return to
their homes

Coroner Bridgewood was there with the

but the management Of the hotel were 10th
to give any information. Those In charge
at the Office knew that q guest named Smith
had committed suicide, but refused to state
the floor or number Of room occupied by the
deceased.
Deputy Bridgewood made his way to the
room where the body of the suicide lay. In
the room were trunk and a valise, which
the management OF the hotel refused TO al
low removed, claiming a lien upon the
property fer the unpaid bill. The KEYS Of
the trunk and valise were taken from the
pockets Of the dead man, and such letters
and documents as had any bearing On the
Morgue.
An examination of the hotel register
showed that Smith had arrived there on
March % and registered from New York.
He was regarded as an exemplary young
man until he became in arrears.
Among the papers taken by the Deputy
Coroner from the trunk Of the deceased
were half dozen pawn tickets. They
tended TO point out a cause for the suicide

Z. ID. and III. ID. Smith had advertised the
sale OF the Watson House at Babylon,

The pawn tickets showed that Smith had
been in strained circumstances before he
went to the Palace. On March % he pawned
a bloodstone watch charm for S3S. Then
there were other tickets showing that he
had pawDei other articles OF jewelry as
follows: April 3. diamond collar button, SIS;
