PACIFIC COAST HAPPENINGS
The Big Tacoma Water Front
Landslide.
1t Was Neither an Earthquake Nor
Tidal Wave.
The steep Bluff Simply slipped Into
tho sound-Two Lives Lost by
the Disaster - General
Nsws GIeanings.

By the Associated Press
TACOMA, WASH, Nov. 29.-Investiga-
tion proves conclusively TINT last nights
great landslide was caused by neither
tidal wave nor earthquake. Puget sound
has very steep shores. Just outside the
Northern Pacific docks the bank slopes
into deep water at an angle OF 45 de-
grees. Fifty feet from the dock the
water lie 100 to 200 fest in depth. At great
expense the railroad has put ip solid
docks OF made land, supported on the
water side by rock wall, built against
piling driven into the mud. This was
not strong enough to bear the immense
pressure, and when the high bank fur
Their up had been made slippery and
loose by recent rains the outer edge OF
the dock began to slide, snd finally gave
way. precipitating into deep water one
OF the most valuable portions Of the
water front. The submerged strip is
1900 feet long and 200 feet wide.
Two persons were killed, Emma
Stubs, the 10. year-old step-dsughter of
H. III. Alger, o boathouse proprietor, and
John Hansen, the night Waterman, who
was carried down with the engine house
containing the boiler and pumps which
furnished the power with which the
bluff side was being washed by hydraulic
process, and the balance of the wharves
filled in beneath. A few minutes before
the slide Hansen had been talking with
Policeman Keene. The latter is certain
that Hansen had no chance to escape.
Neither OF the bodies has been recov-
cred.
Superintendent McCabe says the per-
msnent damage to the railroad docks
will not amount to over $1,000. The
work of repairing the ocean dock whore
the San Francisco steamers land will
commence tomorrow, but the rebuilding
OF the sea wall for 1900 feet will be de-
ferred until the chief engineer at St.
Paul can decide what plan shall be
adopted to insure future permanenee.
This will take 10 days or two weeks.
The south end of the sound freight
warehouse, in which were the offices OF
the cashier and 20 freight clerks, went
down in the crash. The safe contained
s2400 in cash and valuable papers worth
$4,000, 1t was supposed this safe and
the valuable freight records had been
sunk in 200 feet OF water, but this even.
ing the two-story building in which the
freight offices were located was found
partly submerged on the beach at Gig
harbor, eight miles away. The safe and
records are now supposed to be safe. A
diver has been telegraphed for to come
and search for them.
The damage to chipping will amount
to $4,000 or $4,000. and other losses can
be literally estimated at $1,000. Tho
total property loss is therefore within
$4,000. The damage to shipping con-
sists of sinking and injuring five small
steamers tied up alongside the docks
which caved in.

grand victory, and one that has g world
of meaning to the sturdy sons of old

When the crowd began to gather OF
the grounds, there WAS q grand crush.
There was pushing, showing, swearing
and tearing OF clothes, until finally the
crowd became partially civilized and
commenced to enter the gate in the
proper manner. So dense was the
throng that many were still outside the
gates at 2 o'clock when the play should
have been started. In order to enable
these to have an equal chance with the
eariy eomers, the game WAS not started
promptly at the appointed hour. At 2
o'clock the crowd became restless, and
the admirers of the two 1eams yelled
themselves hosrse in their endeavor to
ontdo each other.
At 2:12 Captain Knipe and his band
of warriors came on the field from the
southwest end OF the grounds and the
cheering became deefening and was pro-
longed for almost five minutes. 1t had
not ceased when a few minutes later
Captain Emmons and his team of 10
sturdy men came in at the same door
The captains were called to the center OF
the field and instructed ss to the rules
and style of play and the great game was
on. The crowd gave sigh ard settled
back to await, almost breathlessly, the
