were at work in the building remodel

barber shop, next door to the falling
building, was crushed as if it had been
an egg she'll. It was full Of BARRIERS and
customers at the time. Quickly respond
ing to an alarm force of firemen
went to work to clear away the
ruins. Their zeal was quickened
by hearing the agonized cry OF men
beneath the debris. The walls on the
west, north and south sides stood nearly
intact. The front wall having fallen
out, gave the ruins the appearance OF a
hollow square. From the third story OF
the wrecked portion of the building an
immense piece of ceiling and floor
seemed to hang above the heads OF the
rescuing party. The wall on the south
had broken at the top, and portion OF
it had been carried away by the roof as
1t caved in. This wall, from the second
story up to what had been the third.
stood unsupported, and was regarded as
the chief danger to the rescuers and
those still beneath the ruins.
After 30 minutes Of hard work, the
firemen reached and extricated one Of
the victims. mangled and bleeding, but
still alive. A little later, directed by
groans proceeding from a mass Of
beams, lath, brick and plaster. the fire.
men reached a second sufferer. He was
a young man. Though he had been
under 10 feet of debris, he was able to
stand when once he was extricated. He
is not dangerously hurt. He is Robert
easier, a steam filter who was in the
cellar and heard the first cracking warn
ing Of the eimpending ruin. He looked up
and saw the rafters and joist give way.
He sprang quickly into the part OF the
cellar that is under the sidewalk. A
moment later the whole structure was
about his ears. He was tightly penned
in, although he could breathe easily.
He said there were two steam filters and
two helpers in the cellar, and he did not
see them as the building fell. He thinks
they may have escaped injury, es they
were in another part of the cellar. Up
to noon only one of the dead had been
recovered, though It is believed there
are 10 or IL. George Metz, the man
who was first discovered by the firemen,
died ON the way to the hospital.

California Farm Products.

San Francisco, Aug. S.-Pears are
drug on the market and Jackson street
wharf is crowded with them. The can
neries do not want them, and as there is
no outside market many of them will re-
main on the wharf until they rot or are
given away, as several loads of onions
we're last week.
Besides the pears, there are large guam
titles of potatoes lying around, and if
some of the accumulations are not carted
away soon the river steamers will have no
place on which to discharge their car
goes. Nearly all of the fruit is from the
Sacramento valley, but the Napa City
and Zinfandel also b-ing considerable
from Napa. The peach crop is light this
year, but pears are more abundant than
usual and in consequence the supply far
exceeds the demand.
