VAS 4 GENUINE CYCLONE.
Cons iderGbTe Damage Done 6y the TtCisteq'
Near San Mi1ueI.


SAN MIGUEL, Jan. 17.-Further particu-
lars of yesterdays storm show that it was
genuine cyclone. A heavy thunder
storm came up in the afternoon, accom-
panied by lightning. The rain came down
necessarily. Suddenly the sky southwest
of town became very dark and funnel
shaped, unmistakable cyclone came whiz-
zing along. About one mile west of town
was the little house of NJ. A. Hughes. Mr..
Hughes was in town at the time, and when
he went home an hour later he was unable
to find his house, which had been splint-
cred into small pieces.
Passing along over the sittenfeld place
the cyclone lifted the outhouses into the
orchard, 100 feet away. 1t then passed
north, but when about a mile north of
town it turned eastward, and passing
through an oak grove tore up the trees by
the roots. Rising over the river, it took
only the tops of the cottonwood trees along
the banks. Fences and telegraph poles
went with the other debris. The Park
field stage was on the road, but one of the
passengers who knew a cyclone when he
saw 1t advised lying on the ground. BY SO
dong the passengers escaped injury, as
when the cyclone struck this spot it was
rebounding and they felt only the suction,
which was strong enough, however, to
overturn the stage and right it again,
tangling the horses in the wire fence.
Robert Kirk was driving in buggy and
saw the storm coming, He was unable to
take the necessary precautions and was
struck by flying tree and the buggy was
overturned. Two of Kinks ribs We're
broken and his lung punctured.
After the cyclone had passed the rain
continued, with thunder and lightning.
The rainfall during the past twenty-four
hours was 215 inches. The Salinas River
is rising rapidly and the Estrella stage was
unable to make its trip to-day as the I'M
bridged streams are very high. The storm
ceased this afternoon and it is now clear
and bright. Native sons are now exchang-
ing cyclone stories with former Kansas
residents, 1t is evident that the cyclone
spent itself in the Santa Lucia Mountains
west OF here. AS this section is thinly
settled, no news of its present course is
known here

Billiards, Whist and Fisticufs at the

Tavary Company at the Baldwin last
evening to one of the largest audiences OF
the season. The cast was the same, with
two exceptions as on its first presentation.
The title-role was entrusted to Martin
Pache, a member of the com pany, and a
tenor with German education. He has a
remarkably sweet, well-sustained voice,
and sang the different numbers of the
doctors roll very acceptably. The Tavary
Company appears to be ample in re-
sources, especially as regards tenors, one
of the most difficult grades of the human
voice to be had on an exigency. But this
voice appears to be "on top" with
Pratt when occasion requires. Guile

month, if he can find his voice at the end
of that time. Payne Clark is a marvel OF
endurance, as he has sung with this organi-

and the stations marked. These stations
can be recovered, and by building auxiliary
photographic signals and establishing
them from known triangulation stations
photographic signals can be determined
from triangulation stations, then the sheet
is ready for photography. The hydro
graphy is done from a boat which covers
the whole field in parallel and perpen-
dicular straight lines, and the position of
the boat is determined at short intervals
by angling on the main triangulatiOn sta
tions and the photographic signals. The
depth of water is determined by lead
line in depths of twelve fathoms or less,
and by wire beyond that depth. Around
the Golden Gate there are strong currents,
which makes necessary good working
power and a Woodworking boat.
The surveys Will be made with steam
launches where the water is shallow and
inshore, but in deep water the steamer will
be used. While photography is being done
tide observations are made and soundings
are afterward reduced to a plane of mean
low water. The number of soundings to
the mile depends upon the depth of water.
Usually there are from twenty to forty
made to the mile. The more shoal the wa
ter the more soundings are necessary.
Lines crossing each other at right angles
give check on the work and establish cor
rect positions. While there is no rule es-
tablishing the distance between the lines
of soundings the average is about AIS feet.
OF course the first thing to be done in MAX
ing a harbor survey is the establishing of
signals on shore. These may be by flags,
but are oftener permanent objects.
The survey will be expedited by the use
of steam launches, of which each steamer
has two, or four in all. Each launch car
ries a crew of seven men, consisting of two
men for angling, one to record, coxswain,
two leadmen and one engineer. AS it is
necessary for the signals at each end of the
line to be in sight, foggy weather renders

But the rain was severe even for San

pretty severely at times. 1t came down
hard, and for forty-eight hours ending at
P. NJ. yesterday over 2 inches had fallen.
The storm in the city seemed to concen-

with violence that was certainly remark
able. At the Baldwin corner the wind for
few moments blew gale and ladies who
were compelled to be out at that hour found
themselves obliged to seek the refuge of

Annual Report of the Patrol for the
Past Year.


The twentieth annual report OF the
Underwriters Fire Patrol OF San Francisco
for the year 1894 has been issued. 1t is
complete in every detail in showing the
good work which was accomplished by the
patrol during the past year. Superin-
tendent Comstock reports that the patrol
was called upon to answer an increased
number of alarms over any other year
during its existence. The equipments OF
the patrol, he says, are tirst-class IN every
particular. During the year the efficiency
of the patrol has been increased through
the kind permission of Chief Engineer
Sullivan of the Fire Department by carry
ing on Nos. 5, and 7 trucks OF the city
department, covering the outside districts,
a supply of covers, which are spread by
the Superintendent and man who rides IN
the buggy with him.
There are thirteen members at the
Jessie-street house and six at the house on
the corner of Polk and Eddy streets. Dur
ing the wear there were 4S5 alarms of fire.
OF these twenty-nine were still alarms and
forty-six were false alarms. The heaviest
losses of the year were in the Golden Rule

PRESCOTT, Ariz., Jan. 1.-THE most ter
rife rainstorm which has visited this sec
ton in years ended to-day after seventy
two hours duration. Granite Greek, which
is usually dry stream, broke over its
banks Tuesday, since which time the de-
struction of property in this city has been
tremendous, dozen dwellings going down,
as many families rendered homeless. The
entire portion of North Prescott has been
submerged for twenty-four hours, and had
the rain not turned into snow the damage
would have been incalculable. The loss
will foot up in real estate and personal
property to at least $40 900. The new North
and South Railroad is likewise damaged
into the thousands and traffic both ways
from this city has been suspended. From
near localities many reports are sent in OF
the wholesale destruction of property that
is ruined or washed away. The atmos-
pheric conditions have changed for the
better by cold wave coming.
The Salt River is slowly rising and the
flood mark of 1890 is nearly reached Four
men had a narrow escape on an island in
the river bottom last night, and to-day the
island is submerged. The men were COM
PEELED to climb trees and were rescued by
Sheriff Orme and j. NJ. Scott at the risk of
their lives. Advices from the end of the
track report the Santa Fe, Phoenix and
Prescott roadbed washed out and the Has
sayampa Bridge swept away. The New
and the Aqua Fria rivers are booming out
of their banks. Travel north has been sus-
pended.
PHOENIX, Ariz., Jan. 17.-Salt River is
over its banks fourteen feet and the levee
is submerged. No damage is reported.
This is the highest since the great flood of
1890. 1t is now receding. Another rise
would perhaps be destructive. Colonel
Masten, superintendent of the Maricopa
and Phoenix Railway, is uneasy about the
bridge over the ella River. California and

SAN DIEGO, Jan. 1.-THE effects of the
recent storm are still to be seen, though
floods have subsidized for the most part in
the valleys of San Diego County. The
damage will not be SO great as was feared
at first, though many hogs and some cattle
were lost and some inexpensive buildings,
fences, ETC., washed out to sea.
Railroad traffic is still suspended, but
the Southern California line will probably
be open through to this city tomorrow.
Ranches which were inundated in Mis-
sion Valley present a desolate appear
ance, in some instances crops being abso-
lutely destroyed. Some orchards were
washed out, and Chinese vegetable
gardens along the San Diego River have
lost most of their crops.
Sand in some places lies thick over titled
lands, which have been denuded of vegeta-
ton. Telephone communication with the
country to the southwark is interrupted
and only by chance can information be
had regarding the ravages by the storm in
that direction.
Sweetwater River is reported to have
spread out to width of two miles, delug-
ing the country from the reservoir to the
sea, but it is not thought much loss will
result, as the force of the stream is so
widely distributed. At Foster the water
stood in the houses to depth of two feet,
while in the vicinity of Old Town the coun-
try in the immediate proximity to False
Bay is still inundated. None of the dams
have been disturbed nor great damage
done in any direction so far as heard from.
