as they had passed. AS soon as the light
and we rightly guessed that something
was wrong at the works"
How the dynamo was wrecked and how
the electric fluid was conducted to it will
never be known, for the lightning did its
work too quickly for any one to watch it.
Edward Mckinney, the fireman, was in
the engine-room and when the lightning
flashed he heard loud noise in the power
room and at the same instant he was in
darkness. He went into the dynamo
room and found that the working parts of
the machinery had been thrown from the
machine and were lying around the floor.
The body of the machine was completely
wrecked. The coils of wire that form part
of the machine were enveloped in blue
flames, which soon died out. and then it
was seen that the lightning had, somehow
or other, been conducted into the dynamo;
the artificial and the natural lightning
met and the machine was completely
wrecked and blown TO pieces.
Joseph Putnam, the electrician who was
on duty at the time, was not in the
dynamo-room when the crash came, and
to that absence he probably owes his life.
The dynamo weighs several hundred
pounds, and the fragments were hurled all
over the place. The places where they
struck show how forcible must have been
their momentum, and had one struck Put
nam he would undoubtedly have been
killed
Haywards is in darkness tonight, as the
streets and nearly all the stores and hotels
depended upon the electric lights for their
illumination. Several days must elapse
before new dynamo can be placed in posi-
ton.
In this city the sudden storm of this
afternoon proved very disastrous to the
territory between Twenty second and
Twenty-seventh streets and Grove street
and Telegraph avenue. A large portion of
this district was covered with three feet of
water and was utterly impossible. The
street department was busy tonight.
Dozens OF people, at whose homes the
easements were full and lower floors
Hooded, sought to obtain some relief.
As the sewers. in that part of town are
small and many were choked, no help
could be given and the unfortunate peo-
pie can only wait till the water works its
way to the bay. The Grove-street cars
were cut down to hourly trips and the
Eighth-street system was cut off altogether

Henry Bolenhagen of Yerba Buena

THE RULES OF KISSING.
San Francisco Ladies Discuss the
Latest Phase of Leap Year
Trouble,

Kissing = the kissing of unbetrothed
young people-has always bothered the
novelists. 1t has caused the young offend
ers less mental worry, that is generally
speaking, for sometimes, as in Alameda,
it becomes a vital issue. An investiga-
ton yesterday revealed that San Fran
cisco girls have not been considering the
advisability of boycott on caresses I'M
approved by parental consent.
The question of the ACCESSIBILITY of limit
ing the bestowal of kisses is still an open
one in the City. Some look upon kiss as
an innocuous though delightful social
pleasantly. To them it is mere symbol
of friendly regard bestowed upon person
of the other sex who is not personally dis
pleasing.
At church socials Copenhagen anc other
games which carried kissing forfeits with
them were once much in vogue. The kiss
IN this instance was looked upon as
mere innocent seasoning to the fun. 1t
was the result of fraternal confidence, and
was smiled upon with approval by the
elders who even joined in the games.
Others look upon kiss as bait OF the
devil. The klsser is considered one of the
unregenerate, while the kissee, if not an
unwilling victim, is considered quite as
bad. Then, another class of people con-
slider kissing as bad FORM" and there
fore worse than wrong.

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANcIsco CALL,

908 Broadway, Jan. o.
Lightning struck and completely de-
stroyed the powerful electric plant of the
Haywards Electric Light Company this
evening.
The storm was at its height about 4
o'clock, and the rain was so dense that
everybody was forced to light the lamps at
their houses, or to turn on electric lights
where electricity was used.
A few minutes aftet o'clock there was a
clap of thunder that shook every house in
town. Accompanying it was vivid flash
of lightning and crash that nothing can
describe.
To add to the cling of awe that the
darkness. the thunder and lightning
created, all the electric lights suddenly
went out.
The storm-center passed directly over
the town, and while the tempest was at its
height it was the tiercest ever seen in Hay
wards.
F. B. Hooson, whose store is next to the
telephone Office, says that the rain seemed
to fall in a solid mass, and before the
sewers could carry it off many houses were
flooded. AS the town has just put down a
very compete sewer system the precipita-
ton must have been very great.
The thunder was something awful, u

CALL reporter visited the County Jail
yesterday. Repeated knocking at the
wicket OF his cell failed to elicit any
response. Finally a prisoner across the
aisle suggested that the visitor pull the
wicket down.
This advice was followed, and Durrant
was observed sitting ct table apparently
absorbed IN novel. 1t was not until the
reporter ventured to make an inquiry con-
corning his health that the condemned
murderer deigned to raise his eyes from
the book he was so intently reading.

Il am very we'll - was the reply.
You have been sick for several days,
have you not?'
Eyes, but I am all right now, and
don't care to be disturbed.
Would you mind coming to the wicket
for moment?"
The unexpected response was sugges-
ton that the inquirer depart for region
where Truckees ice carnival wouldn't last
minute, and Durrant followed this by
dropping his eyes again on the book he
was reading when interrupted. A few
more questions were addressed him, but to
all purposes he was oblivious to the ex-
istence of any one save himself and the
characters in the novel
