EARLY RAINS AND LOSSES
Damage Likely to Result in the
Fruit-Drying and Wine
Making Districts.
Showers When Continued Sunshine
Was Expected-Table Grapes and
Raisins Suffer Most.

Dispatches from interior points indicate
that the unlooked-for rain that began fall
ing is likely to cause severe losses to many
fruit-raisers. While this is little past the
height of the fruit-drying and raisin-mak-
ing yet thousands of acres throughout
Napa. Sonoma, Sacramento, Yolo, San
Joaquin, Santa Clara, Butte, Placer, Mer-
ced, Fresno, Kern and Tulare counties
were covered with trays of drying fruit
when the unusually early storm struck the
State.
1t is practically impossible to protect
trays so spread out and the wetting will do
great damage unless followed soon by a
period of sunshine. The loss to the table
grapes and the wine-grape crop will also be
considerable. The heavy rain not only
splits delicate grape berries, but the damp
ness that accumulates in the center of
large clusters engenders mold and makes
them unavailable for long distance ship
ping. With wine grapes the harm done is
much less, except in the cases of some
choice French varieties not yet ready for
the wine-press.
A dispatch from Stockton notes: "The
large amount of water which soaks into
grape berries lowers the percentage of
ness of either wine or table grapes. If the
rain continues there will be but few grapes
in this county which can be used for any
purpose save distillation and the amount
which the grower can realize from them
for that purpose is so much below the
prices obtainable but for the rain that the
loss will be heavy"
1.-THE rain has caught many of the fruit
men who had reason to hope for some pro-
fit this season." said A. T. Hatch yester-
day In speaking of the situation, land Pm
sorry for them. understand the rain has
been heavy enough to do considerable
damage as far north as Red Bluff and as
far south as Fresno, which is stretch of
something like 400 miles. 1t will hurt the
raisin men and dryers of prunes and APP
ricots in late districts and it is bound to
make trouble for all shippers of table
grapes. If it don't crack the berries it
hurts the clusters for packing and ship
ping. There's lots of hay and grain that
will be damaged and hops may suffer
some"

about her that in order to make COM
plete test of the s'fire drill" she would
ring the signal while they were awaiting
the orders for the patriotic drill. The bell
sounded, and instantly there was rush
ing of many feet.
The doors of the rooms on the ground
floor opened quietly, but noiselessly, and
out trooped hundreds of children in adj
mirable line, but with eyes strained toward
the entrance and all at double quick.
Scarcely had they disappeared into the
yard, when the second floor rooms poured
forth their streams of youthful humanity.
Their elders looked on with bated breath
as the children ran downstairs at topmost
speed. and there was sigh of relief when
the last child passed through the hall door.
Not one had fallen, there had not been
single misstep, yet the big building was
emptied of its 700 children, and the time
that elapsed between the opening and
closing click of the referees watches was
80 seconds.
The patriotic drill was the closing fea-
ture of the varied entertainment.
The little drummer, Alfred Dewitt, who,
with becoming gravity and unvarying
time, beat the taps for all the marching,
took his station in the yard, and the chill
dren filed past him in double line, led by
two of the youngest children, who were

Stone, Deputy Superintendent Babcock,

School, Mrs. Walker of the Marshall, Mrs.
O'NeilI of the Lafayette, Mrs. L. K. Burke
of the Columbia, S. A. White of the Spring
Valley, Miss Callahan of the Clement, A.
E. Mann of the Denman and Albert Ley
ser of the John SWEET schools were present.
Mrs. Craven met the visitors in the office
and conducted them to various rooms in
the building, as many grades being in
spected as the time would admit
Each class was presented to the visitors
and the introduction was acknowledged
with a profound courtesy from the classes
and cheerful 'good morning, ladies and
gentlemen" Miss Gallagher's sixth grade
stirred the patriotism of all by singing in
tuneful chorus California, Pride of the
Golden West" There was a short drill in
addition of fractions that showed remark
able readiness on the part of the children.
In obedience to signal from the principal
they ran from the room in orderly haste
and in the wonderfully prompt and exact
manner in VIZ ich they are trained for the
fire drill.
Miss Kelly's fifth grade showed its skill
in practical problems and counting money.
The bright girls in Miss Horns sixth
grade talked about trip from this City to
New York and the sights to be seen on the
way. They sang with grace and unison of
gesture the rhythmic ballad, ''The Brook"
The children gave marked evidences OF
their skill in verbal composition.
Miss Harper's corresponding class of girls
was ready with dainty sunbonnets, most of
them products of their own handiwork, to
sing in sprlghtly style, "You Can't Play
in Our Yard" The utter abandon of the
singing and gestures awakened hearty ap-
plause from the party thus entertained.
The bright misses then proved that their
training was by no means confined to the
ornamental, for the drill in those school
bogies, parsing and diagraming, was sur
prisingly thorough. An illustrative solo
and chorus followed, and the visitors
passed on to the ninth grade, with Miss
Nellie Sullivan, the vice-principal, in
charge. Here they were greeted by fine
chorus of young voices singing "The
Flag"
The principal sent directions to each
teacher to put the pupils in readiness for
the patriotic drill and then said to those

is there, and we believe that the munich
pality for a mparatively few millions of
dollars could collect more than the
60,000,0o0 of gallons per day that this City
needs.
''lf the Almshouse well, that yields
$4,000 gallons per day, cost only $1,000,
enough wells, with the proper piping and
connections, should be sunk for s., 200, 600
at the most to supply San Francisco with
plenty of water. That the City can own
water works is shown by the following law
that was passed by the Legislature in 1891:
"Any incorporated city in this State may &C
quire by gift, purchase or condemnation pro-
ceedings under the power of eminent domain,
water, water right, reservoir sites, rights OF
way for pipes, aqueducts, fumes or other con-
duits and all other property and appliances
suitable and proper for supplying such city
and its Inhabitants with water"

AN UNGRATEFUL YOUTH.
W. n. Briggs, Mission Grocer,
Wants His Stepson Arrested
for Robbery.


W. n. Briggs, grocer, on Twenty-third
and Sanchez streets, appeared in Judge
Joachimsen court yesterday morning
and swore out a warrant for the arrest OF
w. II. Thomas, his stepson, young man
% years of age, on the charge of robbery.
He said he had raised Thomas from in
fancy. On Wednesday afternoon Thomas
went into the store and demanded $50,
which was refused. Thomas then went
upstairs to his mother and Briggs fol-
lowed him. He made similar demand
upon his mother and Briggs interfered.
Thomas struck him, bIackening his eyes
and bruising his face badly, and pulled
revolver out of his pocket. He threatened
to kill Briggs unless he got the money.
Mrs. Briggs had $95 in the bosom of her
dress, and Briggs, believing that Thomas
would carry out his threat, begged her to
give him the money. She gave him the
$95 and Thomas left the place.
Briggs was at one time member OF the
police force. He is incensed at the young
mans ingratitude and is determined to
have him punished.
Thomas, who is member of Fire En-
CINE Company %, went to his stepfather's
store about 10 o'clock yesterday morning
looking for trouble. He had heard that
the warrant was out for his arrest
DIiSSS, Nllell lie ASdlQ LIS fOiO-f 1O-
treated to his wife's sewing-room, which is
separated from the parlor by sliding doors.
Thomas went in search of him and
friend of Briggs named Connolly got hold
of him in the parlor Thomas was trying
to force his way into the sewing-room and
Connolly was trying to prevent him.
Thomas mother also begged him to go
away, but he wanted his stepfather's
blood. Connolly and he struggled IN the
parlor till finally Thomas succeeded in
breaking away from him.
Briggs had revolver in his pocket and
drew it to be ready for any emergency.
He also placed a rocking-chair in front of
the sliding doors, When Thomas threw
open the sliding doors Briggs told him if
he attempted to lay hand upon him he
would shoot him. Thomas put his hand
behind his back, and Briggs, thinking he
was drawing his revolver, fired. Thomas
threw up his hands and dropped to the
floor crying "Good-by, mother"
Briggs, without waiting to ascerta in the
effect of his shot, left the house and went
to a friends near by. He had not been
there many minutes when Thomas came
searching for him. While Thomas was in
the rear Briggs slipped out of the front
door and made his way as fast as possible
to the Seventeenth-street Police station
and surrendered himself.
The police were searching for Thomas
up to an early hour this morning, but had
not found him. 1t is not believed that he
could have been seriously wounded when
he went after Briggs to the friends house.
