Adie hardly any loss was sustained in

State for fifty years.
up to 5 o'clock tonight 153 inches of
rain has fallen in San Francisco.
THE State as a whole has received
great benefit from the storm, although
there are few growls to be heard from
the grain men. They claim that several
thousand acres of unharvested grain have
suffered.

NM Golden Jubilee of the Odd Eel
" VI lows, Arnold Meyer, aged 10
years, who was employed by
Charles Goldberg, a decorator at GA Ellis
street, was almost instantly killed last
evening by coming in contact with live
wire. In his hurry to complete the deco
rations Meyer thoughtlessly grabbed the
death-dealing wire and resolved a shock
that resulted in his death a few minutes
later.
Shortly before o'clock. Meyer, with
two assistants, started to stretch string
Of flags across Market street, near Sixth.
The unfortunate young man entered the
building at 10071a Market street, and,
standing on the fire escape, he called to
his fellow workers to pass the string of
flags to him. His object was to fasten one
end to the fire escape and the other to
the building on the opposite side of the
street. While adjusting the string Meyer
grabbed hold of the deadly wire for sup
port.
The shock was so great that he was
hurled to the bottom of the fire escape.
His agonzing shrek attracted the atten-
ton of +. H. Bruins, who has an office
in the building, and he rushed to the un-
fortunate mans assistance. He was
quickly picked up and carried into Bruins
office. A few minutes later he breathed
his last and his body was taken to the
Morgue.
