stricken inhabitants crouched to
gether in the darkness, fearful that
the earth beneath them might open
and swallow them. The terror in
splred by the rumbling and trem-
bling of the earth was increased by
the sound of falling buildings, which
gave some idea of the terrible de-
struction that was being wrought.
When the most serious shocks had
passed and the rumbling sounds had
died away the people gathered in
groups about the ruins of their
homes and places Of business, and
when they saw the extent of the
damage many of them, fearful OF a
repetition Of this experience, imme-
diately started on foot or by any con-
yeyance that could be had for places
where the previous shocks had been
less severe.
DESTRUCTION OF THE VILLAGE.
In the darkness of the night it
was impossible to determine the full
extent of the damage wrought, but
with the daw1 Of day the stricken
village had the appearance of the
ruins of city long deserted. A
church had been levelled to the
ground and not one brick building
was left standing. Chimneys had
toppled over, frame buildings had
been wrenched apart and thrown
from their foundations, telegraph
and telephone wires had been broken,
and there was not building in town
that had not been damaged more or
less seriously. 10 store buildings
that were not totally destroyed the
merchandise was thrown from the
shelves and everything breakable
was destroyed; not pane of glass
was left in any window in town, and
in those frame cottages and dwell
ings that were left standing, safes
were overturned and crockery and
glassware were destroyed. A con-
servative estimate of the loss to
property in the village is $4,000
and this amount probably will be
greatly increased by the damage in
the surrounding country.
EXTENT OF THE EARTHQUAKE.
The extent of the most severe por-
ton of the disturbance is eleven
miles long by four miles wide, but
the shock was felt throughout Santa
Barbara and San Luis Obispo. At
the Western Union oil wells, on the
Carraiga ranch, two tanks were
wrecked and much other damage
done. The disturbances continued
through the day at intervals of two
hours, but none of the shocks was
severe. The people have deserted
the village, every conveyance has

freight trains that have left here
since the severe shock of last night
have been loaded with people fleeing
for safety. Since the first disturb
ances on Sunday night there have
been more than seventy distinct
shocks, and those who have been
keeping records have now given it
up, as the disturbances have become
almost continuous.

San Luis Obispo, Cal., August q
A strip of country fifteen miles long
by four miles wide, rent with gaping
fssures and dotted with hills, by
knolls that sprung up during the
night as if by magic, a village in
ruins and hundreds of people fleeing
for their lives, are the results of last
Thursday nights seismic disturb
ance in the valley of Los Alamos, in
the northern part of Santa Barbara
county. During the last four days
that section of the country has been
shaken by q series of earthquakes
that is without precedent in the his
tory or tradition of the Pacific coast,
and the continuance of the disturb
ances and the increasing severity OF
the shocks have so terrorized the
inhabitants that they are leaving for
other parts as rapidly as possible,
and even now the village Is almost
entirely deserted.

ASSESSMENT OF PROPERTY
LEGISLATURES ASKED TO ENACT NEW
AND BETTER Laws.
Report OF the Special Committee OF the
State Board Of Equalization Which
Will be Presented to the Gen.
eral Assembly.
News and Courier.

Columbia, August L. At last
nights session of the State Board of
Equalization q resolution was adopt
ed authorizing a special committee
to prepare a memorial to present to
the general assembly, looking to new
and better laws upon the assessment
Of property in the State.
The committee this morning pre-
pared its report, which in time will
be presented to the general assem-
bly,. 1t will be interesting to note
what this special committee suggests
ought to be done to begin the work
of securing more equitable system
of taxation in the State and to get
additional property on the tax books.
- The report of the committee ought
to be well considered by the mem
bers who will serve il the next body,
and 1t is not bit too soon. for them
to begin to work and inquire into the
matter. The report reads as follows:
THE SPECIAL COMMITTEES REPORT.
To the Honorable the General Assem-
big of the State of South Carolina:
Whereas, grave Irregularities exist
in the value of all classes of prop
erty throughout the State, which in
equality a majority of the State
board considered it impossible to
correct or even modify under exist
ing laT; and whereas, said inequsli-
ties leave real estate of certain coun-
ties of the State assessed at from .
to so per centum above that of other
counties; and whereas, personal
property generally is believed to be
assessed at about go per cent. of its
market value, except as to the mat
ter of merchandise, which upon re-
liable information presented to the
board appears to be assessed at from
35 per cent. to 5 per cent. OF Its
market value; and whereas, 1t IS be
lieved that just and equitable amend
ments to the existing tax laws will
alleviate, if not correct, existing oe-
fects:

BEGAN ON SUNDAY EVENING,

The disturbance began on Sunday
evening preceding with q shock,
which caused several thousand dol
lars worth of damage to property in
the village and the surrounding
country, being more severe and dis
astrous in the vicinity of the Western
Union Oil Company's oil wells on the
Carraiga ranch. This shock was fol
lowed by number of disturbances
less severe and less destructive, con-
tinuing through the remainder OF
Sunday night and Monday.
PEOPLE FLEE FOR THEIR LIVES.
With the first warning sound of
the approaching disaster the terror
stricken people rushed into the
streets and sought places of safety IN
vacant lots and roads, while many
fled toward the neighboring hills.
The first vibrations were similar to
the preceding disturbance in direc
tioR and effect, but they were imme-
diately followed by the most terrific
shock over experienced in this sec
tion of the State.

Loss of Half a Million.

GLENS FALLS, n. Y, April 28-
A disastrous fire visited Glens
Falls yesterday, causing prop
erty loss estimated at over half a
million dollars. The fire started
in the clothing store of Webb
Bros. on Glen street and from
thence spread to the large plant
of the Joseph Fowler Shirt and
Collar Company, occupying the
upper story of nearly the entire
block. Then, famed by high
wind, the flames communicated
to the neighboring buildings.
The destruction of the Fowler
shirt plant throws nearly 800 op-
eratives out of employment and
200 more will be out of work tenn
porarily. 1t is thought the in
surance will nearly cover the
losses.

Dies from a Rare Disease.

TAMAQUA, Fla, April 26-
Frank Lentz, aged % years, OF
Paterson near here, was found
dead in bed last evening. For
the past year the boy had been
suffering with a disease which
the physicians diagnosed as
acute cloasma. When he was
taken i'll his skin was GOV cred
with black blotches, which grad.
ually ran together until he be-
came as dark as a negro. The
disease was marked by extreme
lassitude, and as time wore on
the boy wasted away until he was
little more than skin and bones.
For the past two weeks he par
took of little or no nourishment
The case is said to be a rare one.

Ham Sandwich Ten Gents.

CHICAGO. April 29.-For the
first time in many years in this
city cash outlay of ten cents is
necessary for the requirement of
one ham sandwich. The price
has been five cents, but the res
taurants have put up the valua-
tion because of the prices they
are compelled to pay for meat.
Roast beef sandwiches have ad-
vanced five cents, from ten to
fifteen cents.
1t is estimated that 800, 900 ham
sandwiches are consumed in Chi
cago every day, and the increased
cost to the public will therefore
be $15,0 900 on the ham PROPOSE
ton alone.
