The Rainfall.

OAKLAND. March 1.-THE local
rainfall for the last twenty-four hours
was 81 of an inch, making a total for
the season Of 1888 inches, as com
pared with 1885 inches to the same
date last year.

FIRES WE'RE FREQUENT.

Even when the Giant, Company used
the oil it manufactured the mixture in
the separating-h -house frequently caught
fire. And for the purpose of quenching
IT the separating house is provided with
a hose, so that water may be turned on
at any minute. There was frequent use
for this hose lately, according to the
statements of the officials and work.
men about the place, on account of the
uncertain quality of the new acid, and
extreme caution was exercised in the
handling of 1t.
Miss Craig, to whom Jackson was to
have been married on April 30 and who
is the daughter of one Of the Giant
workmen, said to-day that she had had
misgivings that an accident would oc-
cur.
I'VE all knew that there was danger
on account of the acid and oil not sepa-
rating" she said. "Farrer told a lot of
us girls last Sunday night that he had
worked until 1 o'clock one night trying
to make it go. He said he had some
fears, and l told him to be careful
Frank Roller. superintendent at the
works, doesn't believe that the new
acid had anything to do with it. To
him, who is familiar with every branch
of the powder making industry. there
is no explanation
Those men were too careful to let
any fire get the best of them, said the
superintendent. They were too expe-
rienced for that, and I think it must
have been something very unusual that
occurred to cause the accident"
The men killed had seen long service

seconds separated them from death.
Mcclellan was carrying a lunch to
jackson and PeDin at the time of the
explosion and if he had been a little
earlier would have suffered the same
fate as the two men he was about to
regale. Flynn was returning to work
from lunch and for some providentiaI
reason escaped instant death, as he
was nearer the ill-fated men than
either Schartau or Mcclellan
Nels Johnson, foreman in the nitro
glycerin department, ran away from
his station above the separating
house as soon as he heard the explo-
sion, fearing that the burning wood
about the place might start the expIo-
sion in the other places and cause still
greater destruction. This did not oc-
cur, fortunately. and johnson crept
back out of the hole in the hillside in
which he had secreted himself
AT the time of the accident Jackson
and Pepin were Separating" the last
of a lot of acid and oil that had come
down from the nitro-glycerin depart
ment. 1t seems that after the nitro
glycerin reaches the separating house it
is separated and then run to the wash
ng-house, where it is washed" and
then finally run to the nitro -glycerin
storage tanks 500 feet away from the
scene of the explosion. In course of
time it is taken from these storage
tanks and turned into dynamite.
Jackson and Pepin should have been
through with their work at IL O'Clock.
but it is evident that they were still at
work at 1910 o'clock. They had been
having a repetition of their trouble
with the new acid and were staying to
see that it was properly Separated. -
In fact they could not have left the
separating house as long as there was
any acid and oil there, as the stuff would
explode if left alone. 1t has a tendency
to catch fire upon small provocation.
For instance, piece of wood or even a
cobweb falling into the mixture will ig-
/ mite it spontaneously and then com
rnunicate the flames to the other parts.

One of the Brightest
Novels of The Year

Beverly of Graustark, Everyone who en-
joys well written romantic novel will thank
us for recommending this latest book of
George Barr McCutcheon. There are prob
ably three or four books that head the list
as this years favorites, and there is prob
ably only one other that is a real rival of
Beverly of Graustark,' if the vote of the
popular bools readers were taken, with the
chances very largely in favor of Beverly's
winning first place.
1t is the book to buy for yourself, if you
want an interesting story; and is the best
selection you can make to send as a gift to a
friend.
