A Drivers Grit.

A notable addition to the list of dis
asters occasiOned by the storm was the
wreck of one of Hobbs, Wall & Co.'s box
wagons at the POtrero yesterday forenoon.
One of their large covered wagons was on
the way TO the sugar refinery with load
of boxes, and when near the refinery a
sudden blast of wind carried away all the
upper portion of the wagon, bearing it
some 300 feet and scattering the boxes in
all directions. The driver was some that
injured about the head aud back and his
clothes badly torn. The horses became
almost uncont rolable, but the driver.

and what was left of the wagon. He was
much commended for his pluck by those
who Witnessed il.

DID NOT FIND OUT.
Director Dunn Seeks Some
Information.
He Asked About the Suspension of
Two Teachers-An Early
Adjournment.

An adjourned meeting of the Board of
Education was held yesterday afternoon.
but nothing OF interest was done.
There was an evident desire on the part
of Directors Dunn and Clinton to inquire
into the causes of the suspension of two
substitute teachers. but the ma ter was
postponed indefinitely, as also was the
action on the pointment of j. NJ. Stock
ton in charge of the manual classes of the
Franklin and Clement schools.
Director Dunn introduced the question
of the substitutes. He wanted to know By
what right the list of substitutes had been
increased from six to zen or eleven.
This information, he was told, was
not at hand, but the secretary stated that
two of the substitute teachers had been
suspended. The Director then expressed
a desire to know why they had been sus-
pended. After some discussion Director
Ames of the Committee on Rules stated
that the reason was that charges had
been preferred against them, and pending
an investigation the teachers bad been
suspended. A general discussion fol-
lowed, in which Directors Dunn and Clin-
ton reiterated the formers desire for in
formation. The matter was finally dis
posed of by the board deciding to lay it
on the table. An adjournment was then
taken until y O'Clock noon Monday.

CoLLIDED THROUGH RAIN.
Accident on Union Street Due to
Slippery Rails.

Accident on Union Street Due to
Slippery Rails.
The Uaion-street cable road was the
scene of another accident about II o'clock
Thursday night.
As car II was proceeding on its last trip
to town the grip broke and became fast
ened in the slot at the corner of Polk and
Union streets. and the united exertions OF
fifteen men were unable to move it.
Carr, proceeding to Preside. upon the
accident to No. IL. was stopped. and the
conductor and gripman went to the assist
ance of their comrades
While the men of No were thus en-
pioyed car appeared over the brow Of the
hill at Larkin and Union streets and,
although all brakes were set before it
could be stopped it crashed into No. z,
sending it block before it could be
stopped.
There were five passengers in car z. but
owing to the presence of mind of Con-
ductor J. Duffy of the colliding car no one
was hurt AS soon as the cars collided
Duffy. seeing the runaway, ran and
Jumped on board and set the brakes. thus
preventing what might have been serious
accident
1t is strict rule of the company that all
outgoing cars stop at Union acd Larkln
streets, and eye-witnesses agree that the
conductor obeyed this rule. But owing to
the heavy rain neither he nor they were
able to see the car ahead until they had
proceedeu over the hill.
None of the passengers on any OF the
cars were hurt. and no damage was done
except drawbar being bent on car 8.

DAMAGE ON SEA AND SHORE.
How the City's Defenses Were
Thrown Down
AND MADE A HEAP OF RUINS.
Sewers Broke Loose and Ships
Grew UnruIy - Suffering
Pedestrians.

When a particularly violent storm
| swoops down upon this devoted city it is
generally reported to be the most aggres-
slve within the memory of the oldest in
habitant The one yesterday was Of this
order. The wind started to blow on
Thursday evening Before midnight 1t
had increased to velocity of twenty nine
miles an hour and after that il went on in
steady crescendo. until soon after s
| o'clock yesterday morning it reached the
full-blown rate of forty-five miles an hour
on land and sixty on the bay.
All day the wind blew and the rain de-
scended In gusts and showers of varying
violence. Sometimes it seemed as if there
were leak up above through which a
reservoir was trying to get down in great
haste. and on these occasions the wind
put on extra veloc:tyand made a mockery
OF uD brelas by turning them inside out
and breaking and tearing them.
The results of the storm were not con-
fined to blowing off the hats, breaking the
umbrellas and otherwise inflicting bodily
discomfort upon harmless pedestrians.
The shipping In the harbor received its
share of attention from the elements.
their moorings and sent adrift to battle
with the dashing waves. A barge also
went adrift, while the steamer Farallon
took header against the Mission-street
dock 10 the detrlment of her guardrail.
and other craft behaved In a more or less
ObstreperouS manner.
The breeZes that blew on land, how
ever, accomplished great deal more dam
age to the square mile than those that
were let loose on the bay. Fences went
down before them right and left, and the
most artistic results of the bill-stckers'
efforts wallOwed in the mire. A number
of sewers also broke loose, to the annoy
ance of their neigbbors, and trees and
shrubs In various parts of the city are re-
ported to have fallen PROSTATE before the
wind.
The Presidio was isolated for the time
being, as the telegraphic wires were laid
level with the earth, and all com munica-
ton with the outer world through that
source was consequently cut off. The rain
came and the wind blew also upon the
new mortar battery, and that too sue
cumbed Taken altogether the Presidio
was about as much battered by the storm
as any point on the peninsula. even the
cable-road leading out there did not escape
uDscathed.
Toward evening the storm subsidized. but
owing TO the scarcity of reports from the
outlying parts of the Stale the weather
prophet found it impossible to predict
whether il was only INDUCING In tempo
rary lull or whether 1t had gone for good.
Occasional showers, however, are conf
IDENTIFY foretold for to-day. w. II. Ham
mon thinks that the winds will be south
erly, and will run brisk and high.

for mutual protection. Then E. S. Has
well stated that he believed in actors and
thought that they should get the largest
salaries possible-and he did not think
that propertymen should play parts nor
actors shove scenes.
The clause in the bylaws whereby ii is
necessary to be a professional for three
years and a resident of this country for
six months was universally approved of.
Then Il. Coulter Brinker, Morosco's
leading man, deplored the almost univer-
sal poverty of the average actor and at
tributed it to the dishonesty and chicanery
of many managers. He suggested that
when the association was thoroughly or
ganized one night in the year be set apart
for benefit in every theater in the United
States, the proceeds to go into the general
treasury.

committee of FIVE, consisting of himself.

Harry Connors and George Ryan was ap-
pointed to take steps to organize a lodge

in Time.
The craft In the bay ana along the water
front were more harasSed and ANNOYED
than seriously injured by the storm. The
barge Edna, belonging to the California
Navigation and Improvement Company,
got adrift from her moorings and had to
be rescued by the tug Sea Queen, which
towed her TO the Mission flats. The vessel
Jane Gray only escaped breaking her
sncher-chaD by dropping second anchor.
The Charles f. Crocker was dragging her
anchor from the Mission Rock toward the
Alameda shore when she was rescued by
the tugs Hercules and Active.
The British ship Duns taffnage was drift
il down on her cable when the Fearless
took hold of her and held her In check,
and the Dashing Wave almost dashed
against the side the Second-street dock.
Another ship that nearly got into trouble
was the John T. Miner. The Sea Witch
went to her assistance in time, however.
The damage along the water front in
cluded the blowing down Of lumber piles
and fences. As for hawsers and cables
they were rent in twain like threads and
the boatmen were kept busy running out

AT THE PRESIDE.
Great Guns Turned Upside Down by
the Torrents.


Many thousands of dollars will have to
be expended by the Government to repair
the damage done at the Preside and Fort
Point by the rain and windstorm.
At the Preside telegraphic communica-
ton was completely cut off. as the wires
were all blown down. Gates and fence
were TO be seen lying on the ground and a
number of trees were uprooted and blown
over as though they were but chips.
The cellar in the new barracks just near
ing com pletion was flooded with water
which came in torrents from all directions,
form Ing, as it were. a mighty river empty
ing into the cellar.
The greatest and the most costly damage
was done to the new mortar battery re-
Gently erected above Mcdowell avenue,
between the Preside and Fort Point.
1t is but recently that the mortars for
this battery arrived from the East, having
cost the Government many thousand dol
lars for their transportation. As they ar
rived before the parapets for them were
completed they were placed upon stretch
ers upon the ground 10 wait until the bat
terry was ready Tor them to be placed In
position.
Where so many visitors to the Presidio
admired the new guns and their breast
work in the course of erection nothing
can now be seen but vast pile of mud,
sand and rock. the entire works having
been washed away by the floods coming
from the adjoining hills and undermining
the work of many months and much ex-
pense.
A visitor viewing this vast pile Of rub
bish would little imagine that ii contained
anything of value. Little can be seen of
the new m0rtars. as they are buried under
meath all the mud. and nothing can be seen
of them except here and there mn7zle
protrudes.

able TO give an estimate OF the damage
done at this place said: at will take
three thousand dollars to repair the guns
alone; as to other damage l could no.
