BODIES FROM THE SEA.
The Remains of Two Unknown
Men Found Near the
Cliff.
Life.Saving Men Take One Body From
the Waves With Blocks and
Tackle.

The bodies of two unknown men were
washed up by the ocean yesterday out
near the cliff and ocean beach. One was
discovered at the foot of the Point Lobos
rocks, and the other bedy lay upon the
sands far down the beach.
On neither of them could be found any,
thing by which the men could be identified
last night.
The body beneath the cliffs was that of
a man of middle age, tall, Sith a light
mustache and clothed in suit of dark
checked material. His face, bruised ard
battered by the seas, was almost too badly
distorted to admit of it's features being
recognizable. When the Coroner's men
went out there to take the body to the
Morgue they had to call for assist ance
from the life-saying men, who, with
blocks, ropes and tackle, succeeded in
dragging the dead man up the cliffs. The
deceased had been, to all appearances, in
the water for two or three days. He had
but 10 cents in his pockets. A small
Masonic badge with the crescent, star and
scimitar, was found pinned to his vest.
The other body was discovered shortly
afterward on the beach. 1t was that of a
young man of splendid physique and heav-
lily built. The dead man had on a white
and blue check shirt of large pattern and a
darE bow tie and dark tweed suit. His
face was clean shaven, and he wore his
dark brown hair long and apparently
combed back from a high forehead; for
despite the rough usage of the waves his
skin had fresh color and his hair was not
torn or tangled badly. In the Morgue
they said he had not been in the water
more than ten hours.
The only property in his pockets con-
sisted of small notebook with the names
and writing on its pages crossed out and 13
cents in coin.
A story came from across the Golden
Gate that boat had capsized, and one of
its occupants got ashore, while the other
went down. 1t was thought that either of
those bodies came from that accident,
about which no positive information
could be heard last night.

THE INGLESIDE HOLD-UP
Real Facts of the Affair Brought
to Light by the Pc.
lice.
James Monahan, Who Was Known TO
Ranken, Acknowledges Taking
the Diamond Pin.

The police have been investigating the
alleged hold-up of Joseph Ranken, mana
ger of the Ingleside Hotel, on Wednesday
evening by two young strangers, who stole
his diamond scarf pin worth $685. The
affair had caused feeling of terror among
the residents of that locality which made
the police determined to slit the matter to
the bottom.
Captain Lees detailed Detective Cody on
the case, and after making an investiga-
ton he reported that he had grave doubts
as to the story told by Ra nken and gave
his reasons.
Detectives Gibson and Wren Yesterday
morning were able to show the true facts.
They found James Monahan, young
man well known in the City, and took him
to Captain Lees. Monahan told the cap
tain that he and a friend Tom Roche,
went out to the Ingleside Hotel on Wednes-
day evening to see Ranken. Some time
ago Ranken had advanced $25 to Mond-
hans brother Henry of Los Angeles, who
until recently was saioon-keeper there,
and Henry gave Rsnken the diamond scarf
pin as security.
Monahan, who said that Ranken has
known him since he was boy, got Ranken
into private room and asked to have
look at Henrys diamond pin. Ranken
handed it to him and he refused to return
it. Ranken ran into the barroom, where
there were four or five people, and got a
revolver. He threatened to shoot Mon
ahan unless he returned the pin. and
Monahan ran out of the hotel followed by
his friend Roche and took a car into the
city.
Monahan gave up the pin and Captain
Lees allowed him to go, as he promised to
be on hand whenever the captain wanted
him.
The police are at loss to understand
Ranken's reason for withholding the facts
and making 1T appear that the young men
were strangers to him.

He Changed His Mind.

William Howard, an opium fiend, met OFF,
GERS Callinan and SNOWFALL on Sutter street
last evening and said that he wanted to be put
in jail, where he could not get the drug. The
officers called the patrol wagon and charged
Howard with being vagrant. On the wey to
the station the prisoner changed his mind
about being locked up and jumped from the
wagon. He ran for several blocks pursued by
Officer McGrath. Howard took refuge in the
basement of building on Polk street, hear
Van Ness avenue, and threatened to brain his
pursuer with billet of kindling wood. He
was oyerpowered and locked up.

Enormous Loss or Life and Property
Steamers Sunk with All ON Board.


ST. LOUIS. May PA tornado blow
ing at the rate OF so miles an hour,
struck st. Louis at 5:I5 this evening
and ragged for half an hour with great
fury. Many buildings were blown down
and several river steamers eunk with all
on board. The hospitals are full of in
jured and the nIorgue contains many
dead, while numerous slain lie every
where among the ruins of the demol-
ished buildings. A portion OF the Fades
bridge is destroyed. The grand stand
at the fair grounds, and the woman's
portion of the jail were blown down.
The Waters Pierce oil works are burning
and buildings in various sections of the
town are on fire. At East st. Louis the
damage seems the greatest. H. G. Rice,
the Western Union manager at the re-
lay depot, clim bed across the demolished
bridge and reported the National hotel
the fremont house, the Martell house,
comPany's mill, Horns cooper shop and
a great many dwellings east of there as
far as Fifth street gore and many
people killed. The Baltimore & Ohio
and Vandalia rou,ndhouses, the Stand

Crescent elevators and twelve freight
houses on the levee demolished. The
Grand Republican and several more ex-
cursion steamers, with all on board, are
reported sunk in the river and all steam
ers on the levee have gone down.
A rough estimate would place the
number killed and wounded at 1000.
Both the Western Union and Postal
Telegraph companies lost every wire out
of the city, which is in total darkness.

Removing Bodies of Victims
of the Victoria Disaster.
THE LOSS OF LIFE GREATER
IL Is New Estimated That Nearly Two
Hundred Persons Went
Down.

VIcToRIA, May Thousands of sor-
rowful friends and relatives crowded
around the approaches to the bridge
where the terrible accident occurred yes
terdav, which cost over so lives, eagerly
scanning each body as it was brought to
land. Mothers, crazed by the loss of
husbands or children, attempted to jump
into the water in their eagerness to res
cue their loved ones. AS body after
body was brought to the shore crowds
rushed forward to search each mangled
face, dreading the possibility that it
might be that of some one whom they
hoped had escaped from the death trap.
Twenty persons known to have been
on the bridge al the time of the accident
are missing, and it is supposed that they
have perished. The car register shows
80 fares. and it is probable that over 125
people were OH board.
On the surface of Victoria arm strug-
Cling people fought to gain the shore.
Strong men and frail women battled for
their lives. Husbands emerged from the
wreckage, only to find that their wives
had gone down to death. Children were
carried down by those who were
stronger, and fathers who had struggled
from beneath the timbers and debris of
the bridge and car and carriages re-
turned to their doom in a vain endeavor
to rescue their babes.
The waters of the arm for yards around
were dyed red with blood, and floating
out to sea sent corpse after corpse, borne
on by the tide.
The shrieks of men, the screams of
women and children filled the air and
nerved the crowds of rescuers on to feats
that endangered life and limb.
The number of carriages lost and the
foot passengers carried down in the
wreck cannot be learned. 1t is claimed
by many that fully 200 persons went
down with the span, ard that more than
half of them perished. The accident oc-
Cured so quickly that nobody has 9
very clear recollection of what trans
pired.
The rescue of some of the victims was
under circumstances almost miraculous,
Among those saved were Mr.. and Mrs.
Foster, OF Seattle. Foster stood on the
outside of the electric car and his wife
was seated within. When the car went
down he jumped and dived. Coming uE
and catching bridge timber, he saw 9
lady rise near him and seized her. She
was Victoria woman, who had accom-.
panied himself and wife. Then he saw
his wife's cloak appear upon the water
He called to man to save her, and moi
in vain, for the man swan to Mrs. Eos.
ter's rescue and bore her to the land.
Superintendent j. Wilson, of the Can
adian Pacific railroad telegraph, wal
driving a carriage containing his wife
and FIVE children directly behind the i'll
fated car. His vehicle was swept down
and in moment the entire family were
struggling in the water. With rare
presence of mind Mr.. Wilson succeeded
in saving his wife and four children
The fifth child, little boy, was wedgec
beneath some wreckage and drowned.
