Lofty ypire on st. PduPs Church
Is BLOL0n DoL0n by the
Heavy Gale.

With a creaking of timbers. a groan
almost human and a crash. one Of the
lofty spires Of ST. Pauls Church, now
in the course of construction at the cor
nor of Valley and Church streets, broke
off just above the line of masonry
about o'clock yesterday morning and
fell across Valley street. broken,
twisted mass of wood and metal. Twen-
ty feet of the steeple, including the
colossal cross and copper work. lodged
in the yard in the rear of the premises
at the northwest corner of Valley and
Church streets. narrowly missing the
building.
Thomas Ward occupies the lower por-
tion of this building as a grocery and
bar. The upper floor is divided into
Ward three minor children and three
roomers were asleep. entirely oblivious
of their narrow escape from death.
In it's downward course the steeple
just grazed corner of Wards building
and the top portion landed in the yard
alongside Kitchen window. Strange to
relate. the window was not broken. and
the only damage done in the store was
the breaking of a bottle OF mineral
water, which was jostled off the back
bar. About ten feet of the yard fence
was demolished, but beyond this no
damage was done.
Ward said he was standing in the
front part of his store when he heard
crash. He thought that shed in the
rear of the place had been blown over.
and ran outside to investigate. The
street was strewn with wreckage, and
in the rear yard he found about twenty
feet of the steeple of st. Paurs Church.
Rev. M. d. Connolly, rector Of st.
Paul's Church, said: Although we
have sustained considerable loss / feel
thankful that no fatalities occurred.
The steeple was one of the tallest and
best constructed in the city, and, as one
well-known contractor who examined
it remarked. it had the strength of

storm and were putting the cross and
metal work in place. Extra heavy scat
folding had been erected for the work.
men. and in order to allow them to get
to their work it was necessary to loosen
the iron rods running from the top to
the bottom of the steeple. 1t is my
opinion that this. coupled with the fact
that the southern exposure of the
steeple was open, is responsible for it's
collapse. The loss will be about $500.
and work will be resumed as soon as
possible"
The crash of the falling sDire created
much excitement in the neighborhood.
and many ran from their homes in
scant attire The steeple was 1SS feet in
height and was surmounted by a six
foot cross. Upon investigation 1t was

were all down and the streetcars could
not be operated owing to blockades
and washcuts. The Richmond district,
owing to it's exposed location. suffered
severely. Two three-story flats in the
course Of construction were blown
DOWN and other buildings were uh-
rooted.
The high advertising fences, always
a menace to life and limb during a
storm. suffered severely. They lie
PROSTATE everywhere, but fortunately
the majority of them went down at an
hour when the streets were practically
deserted.
While much damage was done on the
bay, the majority of the vessels rode
out the storm in safety, their masters
having needed the warnings sent out
by the Weather Bureau. Some smaller
craft went ashore and two ferry boats
suffered slightly, but, on the whole.
considering the large amount of ship
ping in the bay and the fact that d
high sea coupled with fierce gale was
on for hours. it can safely be said that
the damage was nominal, and stands
Franciscos great harbor in the face
of unusual circumstances.
San Francisco did not suffer alone.
From all sections of the State come
tales of wind and flood, but they are
very meager, as communication has
been interrupted. At Sacramento the
velocity Of the wind was greater than
in this city. and the rain fell in tor
rents, swelling the already overflow
| ing rivers. Reports from other north
ern and southern counties are in the
same strain, with the exception of
| the extreme south, where a drop of
rain at present is priced almost as a
piece of gold.

done some damage, there is a silver
