BUILDING a SEAWALL.
Spdt in Committee BettUeen Senator Fdy
aud Commissioner Bdssett.


SACRAMENTO, Jan. Ex-senator Fay ap-
peared before the Senate Committee on
Harbors tonight, to urge the recommends
ton of his bill providing for the compile
ton of the seawall from the westerly ter
minus of section B to the westerly line of
Van Ness avenue. Harbor Commissioner
J. M. Bassett was present to- oppose the
bill. The committee reported favorably
on it, although Senator Wilmington an
nounced that he might changes his vote
when the bill came before the Senate. Mr..
Bassett urged that the work would cost
more than the commission could afford at
present. 1t was not matter of 5000, 900 or
$500 ZOO.
Fay retorted: "But matter of right or
wrong. l am sure the cost would not be
over S25O,0O0. What is your estimator"
1T will cost at least $500, 000."
Senator Fay said that as the wall pro-
crossed the cost of construction grew less
because the foundation became harder.
The 5000 feet remaining he was sure could
be built for less than 100000.
"But is it not desirable to extend the sea-
wall toward the south?" asked Senator
Wilmington.
at should go both ways" assented Fay,
"but the north had its rights to be recog-
nized as well as the south"
"The northern end is SO exposed as to
be unsafe though" objected Senator
Gleayes, "and it is not popular anchor
age"
mo" retorted Fay, cit is not popular
because every inducement in the way of
improvements has led them toward the
Mission wharf 1t was the favorite anchor
age forty years ago, and New York packets
always lay there"
Here Mr.. Bassett wanted to know if the
bill had not been introduced at the in
stance of Senator Fair to enhance the
value of his North Beach property. Fay
di sclaimed this Bassett admitted that
the seawall would render possible the
reclamation of much very valuable land,
but he said it would not bring any income.
At present number of the best lots along
the front were lying idle because law
forbade the Harbor Commissioners leasing
them When Fay suggested repeal of
that law Bassett replied that different
complexion was put on the matter. Mr..
Fay then explained that he thought it
would be possible to get bill through the
Legislature allowing leases to be given for
five years.
Mr.. Bassett said the commission had
money to proceed with the construction,
and it was decided to report the bill back
for passage. The three bills of Chairman
Gleaves, to establish the new line of East
street, cut off and condemn the triangular
corner of Market, Sacramento and East
streets, and empower the Harbor Commits
sioners to buy or trade for the same, were
discussed. The committee were agreed as
to the advisability of their passage, but
postponed action till after tomorrow night
when Attorneys Stratton and Reinstein
viii appear before a joint meeting of the
Senate and Assembly committees and urge
the points of their respective clients.

two little specks came, one on each side of

they turned out to be more ulcers, and in

and the lower part Of his abdomen were
badly smashed. ana when Dr.. Hoyt,
who was sent for and went down on an
engine, arrived the injured man was
breathing his last.
No one knows exactly how he hap-
pened to get caught. but his watch
chain was an uncommonly heavy one,
and as piece of it was found on the
bumper, the inference is that he got
caught as stated. He was unable to
tell himself as he was unconscious when
taken out.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Jan. ga se-
we're blizzard. which started i'll at mid
night last night, still prevails tonight
all over the Southwest, with no sign of
abatement. An average of three feet
OF snow had fallen at 10 o'clock tonight,
and a strong wind is drifting it, badly
blockading all kinds of traffic and cauS-
ing great hardships to farmers. 1t Is
very cold and much suffering must
enSue. From the territories come re
ports of many cattle freezing to
death. and as the settlers are none
too well provided with shelter and food
great distress, and Doubtless many IA
talities will be recorded when trans
portation and telegraphic facilities are
again opened up. On the other hand,
the snow will prove immensely bene-
fetal to wheat. The blizzard came up
from Arkansas and Louisiana, and III
many places was preceded by rain and
sleet. At Perry. Okla, the thermometer
tonight registered , deg below, and
like condition prevails elsewhere IN the

HIS HEAD DIVIDED.

Ex-Minneapolitan Experiences
Terrible Mutilation and Still
Lives.
SEATTLE. Wash, Jan 25.-Of all the
peculiar and interesting cases none
completes with that OF HoratioA. Stetson.
ali engineer in Stetson Port mill. whose
head was cut half in two yesterday by
rip saw. Stetson, who. by the way, is
a brother of Frank SietsOn, chief OF the
MINNEAPOLIS fire department. was engI-
neer and also assisted his brother III
adjusting the machinery in the planning
mill. BY chance the mill feed belt
came of. and StetSOH stepped under the
table to fix it. He ran his head against
the saw. and in less than tWnkling of
an eye his head was cut across the top,
Just III front OF the ears. The saw bent
down into the brain fully three inches,
the point Of exit on either side of
the head being on a level with
the tops OF the ears. StetSon craWled
out from under the table and was
grabbed by his brother. who clapped
tie TWO pieces of his head together.
The brother says that "blGod and
brains were coming from his head.
which looked as if it were falling
apart"
The wounded man was taken TO the
hospital. anu while on his way there
was possessed with q sort of mania for
swinging his right arm. 1t could not
be held He was speechleSs, but un-
derstOOd everything said TO him. When
he was placed on the operating table it
. was though! he would die before the
longitudinal sineWs could be stopped
from bleeding. He went through the
trephining operation. however, and was
put to bed.
Towards night partial paralysis of his
arms and legs set in, but he regained
the power OF speech and called for his
mother. At that time he said he was
not suffering pain. During the night
he was restless. but toward dawn he
took bowl of beef tea. From this time
he became stronger. the power OF motion
of his legs and arms came back TO
him and his mind was clear. He
could talk, but with difficulty. His
temperature was normal, and his pulse
remained all day and up to s o'clock q |
night in the condition of a perfectly
well man, and there was 10 infiamma-
ton lii the wound, and at last accounts
there were no indications OF fever set
ting III.
According to the technical descrip-
ton of the wound it commences Oh the
top of the head, and, in entering the
Grain. cuts the.fssure OF Rolando. This
section of the brain is supposed to
affect the power OF motion, the truth of
which claim is borne out by the man
ner in which Stetson acted on the way
to the hospital. Physicians do not
wonder at his being alive, but they are
mystifed at lis being possessed of ali
his mental faculties and retaining con-
troll of his limbs, having q good appetite
and being perfectly normal in all other
conditions Of his body.

Binding Storm Compels a
Cessation of Attempts
at Rescue.

MENDOZA, H., Jan. 25.-At 3 o'clock
this afternoon the main building OF
Henning's brewery i'll this city was
wrecked by boiler explosion, the con-
cusSion being so great that every build
ing in the city was badly shaken. The
building destroyed was five stories and
filled with machinery. The force OF
the explosion completely demollshedit
killing six men and badly inJuring six
others. The killed are:
c. SEIFERT, foreman.
DAVID WELLS. fireman.
DAVID CHEER. engineer.
LEMUEL DE SHASO, iceman.
HENRY PERT. laborer.
JOHN KENNEDY. a well borer, of De-
kalb.
ADAM BRESSHEAD.
The injured are: James Love, arm
broken and head badly cut: \. Mcleod.
Chicago, head and face cut; George
Parker. Chicago. head cut; T. Nj Car
penter. badly cat; William Long. badly
hurt: Henry Varmore, badly hurt. The
Chicago men and Kennedy, of De halb.
had hut lately come here, and were en-
gagged i'll sinking a we'll near the build
ing. Up to a late hour no more bodies
had been found in the debris. and
binding SNOW storm almost stopped
work. but it is thought more men are
buried under tons of brick and beams.
The loss to property amounts to Sl00,0
and large number of men are thrown
out of employment.
The explosion had an upward ten
dency, lifting the building, and then
everything fell into a huge heap in the
center of the incloSure. All was excite
ment, and many were driven frantic
with the thought that husband, father
or son might be beneath the runs.
Women, bareheaded and wild with
fear braved the wind and cutting
snow that some tidings of the
injured might be learned. In the eX-
element number of citizens
received injuries in removing beams
and lumber. Never before has this city
suffered such q blow, and many are the
conjectures as to the number of dead al
the bottom of that great heap of brick
and mortar and broken machinery. The
work OF removing the ruins IS progress
ing slowly, and it will be day or more
before the list Of dead will Oe complete.
When the explosion occurred every
building in the city was shaken. and
men rushed to every conceivable place
to learn the cause of the concusson.
The dead men are highly respected.
and several of them are prominent Sc.

IS 1T THE CHICoRA?

RumOr That the Supposed Lost
Boat Is OF Michigan City.
GRAND RAPIDS. Mich, Jan. 25.-It is
rumored here that the Cnicora has been
heard from at Michigan City. The
rumor is not based upon definite infor-
nation and is not credited.
MICHIGAN CITY, Ind. Jan. 25.-The
rumor that the Chicora is off this port
is based on the fac: that a dark object
was seen today floating about ten miles
out. This end or TIE lake has been COW
cred with ice foes. and the dark object
was at the outer edge OF the ice fields.
1t has not been Identified positively as
boat or part OF a, boat and may be
merely an iceberg. An effort this
afternoon to make III ore accurate OBJ
seryatonS was prevented by binding
snow storm.
BENTON HARBOR. Mich. Jan. 25.-
Finding OF more wrrckage of the Chlcora
is reported fTCm South Haven. The
clerks office door and one of the
Chicora'S boats, also much more wreck
age OF her cabin, are reported found.
Mr.. Graham now believes she fOundered
Monday afternoon and that she was
torn to pieces by the floating ice and
huge waves. Reports that the steamer
Petoskey had gone in search of Chicora
were false, as the PetOskey is III st.
Joseph with miles of solid ice before
her. Relatives of the lost crew have
given up all hopes, and searching par
ties have been sent to look for budies of
the unfortunate.
Mrs. Ed Stines, wife of the captain,
and the wife OF Chief Cook Lynch are
reported living in critical condi ton to-
night, not being able to bear up any
longer.
Engineer Mcclure had tin can, about
the size and shape OF an oil can
and air-tight. to use as a
message bearer if any disaster
should oYertake his boat. This
: he always kept i'll his engine room. 1t
is hoped this can will be found. If it is
some idea of the manner of the wreck
will be gained. A dispatch from the
regular clerk of the Chicora, who is
living at South haven. was received to-
night stating that yesterday the yawl
boat to the Chicora had been found.
