A HOUSE COLLAPSES.
The Inmates Narrowly Escape Being
Crushed to Death


During one of the heavy squalls yester-
day afternoon a housed on California avenue.
between Howard and Mission streets. was
blown down, and the occupants narrowly
escaped with their lives.
1t was a one-stOTy frame building belong
ing to Joseph Shea. the well-known bali
player. and was recently purchased out OF
his savings to provide home for his aged
parents.
The street is being graded and the foun-
cations had accordingly been weakened.
The underpinning in the rear was not good
and gave way under the fierce gusts OF
wind about o'clock in the afternoon.
The whole building collapsed. and the
furniture. piano. in fact everything In the
house, was destroyed. the whole being mixed
up in q broken and confused mass.
The live coal in the stove set fire to the
debris and still alarm was sent in. En-
CINE Is sponGed and worked for about an
hour and n half TO save the adjoining build
ings which were in imminent peril. They
succeeded in their efforts ard deserve
credit for doing SO well in the teeth of such
gale.
The aged couple were in the house, but
when il commenced TO rock they became
alarmed and got out lust IN time 10 escape
being crushed TO death among the falling
tmbers.
MI Shea estimates his loss at 5000. and
the blow is made all the harder from the
fact that ii has swallowed up all his hard
earned savings.
lie Is exceedingly popular among large
circle OF friends and among these he can
number many belonging TO the theatrical
profession, who will give him a benefit at
an early date.

down all wires between San Francisco and
Portland aud between Portland aud Hell
ena, Nom, thus shutting them IF entirely
from communication with the n,,. n.
About o'clock In the afternoon commu-
nication was had with Portland. but only
for sbor. time, as at 1880 all commuRica-
ton was again shut off, and there seemed
little probability of getting the northern
wires in order before this morning.
Ali wires were down on the San Fran
cisco and North Pacific and the North Pa
cife Coast railways, so that there was no
means OF communication with that section
of country.
The wires were working fairly we'll with
Chicago over the Central Pacific and in the
southern part of The State.
The line between this city and Point
Reyes was blown down in tina afternoon
shortly after the operator had reported the
wind blowing at sixty-three miles an hour
This is the line used by the United States
Government for reports of the weather on
the coast and runs direct into the Signal
Service Office i'll the Mills building.
At IL o'clock last night the Western
Union Telegraph Company announced tina I
they had connection with Portland and that
they were able to handle all their business.
The storm was subsiding. though snow was
falling in Portland and the weather was
cold

HURRYING THE WORK.
The Canvass and the Year Will Close
Together.

Yesterday was another record-breaker
with the Election Commissioners. Auditor
Smiley stuck TO the canvass with de-
termination to get through with it as soon
as possible, and before the days work was
considered done sixteen precincts had been
counted. which leaves only twenty-five to
complete the canvass. BY Tuesday night
next, If no Interruptions occur, the count
will be over. 1t will take two. or perhaps
three DAYS. for the tally clerks to make M
their totals, and there is hope that on
Saturday, the last day of the year. the
Commissioners will officially declare the re-
suit of the election. which, as perhaps MANY
citizens will still remember was held on
November last.
The only interruption yesterday was the
usual protest of DR.. O'DonneIl. who again
objected to the canvass going on with only
one Commissioner present

HIT BY A SIGN.
Hiss Dodge Has a Narrow Escape
From Death.

tlOttl
Look Quit Look outi' screamed 100
voices in a chorus.
People began TO run in all directions to
get out of the way of huge picture which
blew down from the front of the Chicago
Clothing Company's building on Post and
Kearny streets yesterday afternoon.
The picture came in contact with the
telegraph wires on Post street. cutting about
twenty of them. 1t then struck downward
and hit the large plate-glass window of the
San Francisco Diamond House smashing 1t
10 smilhereens.
The wind eareened the large picture
around the corner, where people were rush
ing out OF the way. 1t came flop down
upon young girl who could lot get out of
the way in time, and felled her to the side
walk. Immediately q hundred people
rushed 10 her assistance. and extricated
her from the folds of the canvas.
She was knocked into insensibility, but
was not struck by the heavy frame or
she would have been killed. She was sim
ply struck by the cloth part. ana the heavy
weight OF the twenty-fO0t picture feled her
TO the hard sidewalk.
A carriage was procured and the young
woman was taken to the Receiving Hospital
where she was found to be Miss j. NJ.
Dodge of San Rafael She appeared to
have been simply stunned by the blow, and
II she IS not internally injured it is thought
she will be all right in couple of days
When the large sign careened around the
corner il just missed the head OF AL O. Briep,
an expressman, who holds out on Post and
kearny streets. The wind loosened a num-
Der of the other large pictures, which hung
in very shaky positions, causing pedes-
triaDS 10 give that side Of the street wide
berth.
The large electric lamps were also sprung
out OF gear aud daDgled in the air The
connecting wires were cut, aud hung down
very near the sidewalk. Several policemen
were on hand and warned passers by not to
90 near the wires. as if the electricity were
suddenly turned on any one who touched
one Of the wires would be instantly killed.
Workmen were at once set TO work to
secure the remaining pictures and the
electric Mirps were alsn ranairad

deserving in order to give To the zoo families
that had been promised.
Yesterday afternoon, for instance. q
neatly dressed man walked into the Office
at J42 Clay street and with tears in his eyes
made an appeal for help. AS he sat beside
the desk with his hat removed from his
white hairs his bent form was convuised
with frequent sobs.
He was recognized as man who had
been fairly well-to-do Ia days gone by, and
been reduced TO absolute want. Whisky
had had no hand in his misfortune.
81 have an invalid wife at home" he
said in a broken voice as he wiped the tears
from his eyes, land for months we have
been forced to live upon 10 cents a day. i
came here to ask il you would not kindly
give me a few crackers and little cheese to
keep my sick wife from starving. If you
only knew how much we are in want L am
sure you would not deny me at this time"
When he had ended his plea there was no
one present who could have refused him
what help was posi- BILE. and he went out a
few minutes later with big bundle OF good
things for his sick wife TO eat
This is but a sample OF the many sad
stories of distress and abject want which
are heard from day TO day, and il is only a
pity that those who have millions at their
command and hearts in their breasts could
not hear them.

A VERY STRANGE DIARY
1t Tells the Sad Tale of a Man Who

The patrol wagon brought tired-looking
man to the Receiving Hospital last night
whom the police at first thought was suffer-
ing from an acute attack of drunkenness.
But this idea was erroneous, as subss-
Quent investigation proved. and did an un-
conscious though not irreparabie injury to
the sufferer.
He was unconscious and mildly raving.
He kept saying: I've got il, I've got il,
I've got it! Hurrah. I've got itp'
''Sure. he has got it. or never saw a man
who had it," said Officer Nolan. who picked
the man out Of the gutter on Suffer street.
He was not badly dressed, and in his
pockets were found a couple Of yellow
eagles and some white change
DIR. Simpson made a careful examination
for external wounds. but found nothing
more serious than bruised ankle, probably
caused when he tumbled into the gutter.
And all tte time he kept murmuring,

BROKEN ALARM WIRE.
Large Sections of the City Left En-
tirfy UNPROTECTED.


That the fire alarm wires of the city are
in very dangerous condition is being daily
evidenced. The heavy storms of several
weeks ago showed clearly how the old iron
wires had rusted until they almost parted
OF their own weight, opening circuits cover
ing large districts, thereby leaving the
property Of citizens wholly unprotected in
case of a fire.
The recent storms have added more evil
dence to the dangerous condition of the
wires, as was seen By the large number of
breaks reported in the first part o the week.
These breaks have been temporarily re-
paired. but it is only question of time
when they will break again.
Yesterdays storm, as far as the investiga-
tons have gone, showed that The danger to
the city was greater than was anticipated,
and clearly demonstrates that something
must soon be DONE or the city will be at the
mercy Of any large fire that might break out
in any OF the districts where the wires have
broken.
The linemen of the fire alarm service re-
ported yesterday that the storm had broken
large number OF poles in the Mission and
in the Western Addition. Instead of the
poles supporting the wires, the wires sup
ported the poles, and the former being
rusted and rotten parted in many places,
destroying the circuits and rendering the
sending in OF an alarm an impossibility.
TO give an idea of the damage of yester.
days storm and the consequent danger. il
may be stated that alarm circuit was re-
ported open last evening. caused by falling
poles and the breaking of wires. This left
large section Of the city entirely unpro-
tected in case of fire. Circuit 8 takes In
the following district;
Engines -, Is and 6, Seyenteenth-street
police station, Hose Company 3, chemical
engine 6, engine z, Hose Company 3.
chemical engine 2, new City Hall sstation,
Fire Marshal Towe. In case of a fire an
alarm could have not been ruRg In by means
OF the IRE alarm throughout this entire dis
trict.
Signal circuit was also reported open.
and IL would have been impossible to have
sent IN an alarm from the following boxes:
u, y. 81. Al, AZ. 81. 56, 80 66, 81 o. 1872 139
157, 264, 265 and 267. The district thus left
unprotected can easily be seen.
An inquiry was made at the FIRE alarm
Office for the reason Of the double alarm
from box as, shortly before O'clock when
there was no FIRE.
It was stated that an electric wire crossed
the wires OF the fire alarm and caused thu
bell to ring. This brought out the entire
Fire Department of the city, causing the
city an expense of about $500. when there
was no fire at all. But this was not the
only result. The bringing of all the engines
downtown left the rest Of the city entirely
unprotected when the wind was blowing
very hard Had fire taken place in any
OF the outer districts there would have been
no engines to extnguish the flames
The cause OF the electric wire crossing
the lire alarm wires will be Investigated
to-day. and the blame properly located.
For the cost Of this double alarm, new
copper wires could have been placed in
three entire new circuits.
