ing invaluable service in the
clearing of the debris from the
burnt district by assisting the
other railroads in hauling out the
refuse material to the suburbs of
the city to be dumped in the low
lands. 1t might be of interest to
add that the President of the
United Railroads is Mr.. Patrick
Calhoun and the Assistant to the
President is Mr.. Thornwell Null
laly, both OF whom are natives OF
the old Palmetto State.
With the cars running again

rary buildings began to spring
up as if by magic all over the
burnt section TO shelter the
wholesale houses which had been
compls tely wiped out 0y the con
tiagralion. Lumber and carpen-
ters were now in great demand,
building material was delivered
as fast as teams could be secured
for the purpose and soon the
sound of the hammer and the
buzz of the saw could be heard
all over the burnt city. Mer-
chants, as soon as telegraphic
communication was opened with
he eastern markets, duplicated
their stocks which had been de-
stroyed and by the time their
temporary buildings were ready
to receive their goods, they came
rolling in from the East and the
wheels of business started up
again under temporary roofs
The retail merchants receded fur
ther westward beyond the burnt
district along Van Ness Avenue
and Fillmore street, where they
improvised storerooms for tenn
porary quarters and opened out
their new stocks to the retail
trade. These streets before the
earthquake were principally res

became the principal arteries OF
the retail business Of the CITY,
On every vacant lot along these
streets were erected storerooms
and now every available space
has been occupied Since the
fire business IL every line has
been booming and the receipts of
all firms since that memorable
occurrence, both retail and whole
sale, have been much larger than
for the corresponding months OF
last year and the year before. -
The railroad companies have
more freight than they can han

so scarce that the situation is be.

that the city has undertaken is
clearing away the debris from

tion Of San Francisco and restora-
ton to its former state previous
to the great calamity of April
last is a problem that now con.
fronts her citizens. The work OF
half a century which was torn TO
pieces in three days must now be
taken up anew and the rebuild
ing of her many beautiful ediices
and structures pushed forward
with all possible speed. 1t is the
duty of both labor and capital to
be generous and considerate in
this time of the clty's great need
and work together for the up
building and restoration OF her
institutions which are now pros
trate in the dust. There is no
doubt but that San Francisco
will be rebuilt and the only uues-
tion is as 10 the time it will take.
If labor and capital will put aside
their petty disputes and spites
and put their shoulders to the
wheel, it will be only few years
when our city will again take the
position it formerly held. II
however we have labor strikes
and lock-outs, the growth and
upbuilding will be seriously re-
tarded and it will take much
longer to rebuild.
AS soon as the flames were
brought under control on April
21st last, the matter of rebuild
ing the burnt district was taken
up and plans made for clearing
away the debris and cleaning tie
destroyed portions of the CITY
A Herculean task contronts our
city and nothing but dauntless
courage and determine ion could
surmOunt these great difficulties.
But the citizenship endowed with
those indOmisable qualities that
established this great city at the
gateway of the Pacific set 10 work
at once to overcome these obsta
clas and restore order out Of chaos
and rebuild our city, as did the
patriarchs of old.
The first and most important
step to be taken was the repair.
ing and putting the street cars
into service again. This work
was begun by the United Rail
roads very soon after the fire was
brought under control and in one
week thereafter the electric cars
were running down Market street
Work on the other street lines has
been steadily going on ever since
until now majority of the lines
have been put into service, and
in the course Of the next three
months every line will be again
running on schedule time. The
United Railroads have rendered
excellent service and have aided
the city most efficiently in its
hour of distress and desolation
For about six weeks after the
cars began to run on Market
street The receipts therefrom were
turned over to the Relief Com.

t these structures at no distant

|
Quite a numebr of modern steel
structures were Quilted and all
the woo1 work burned by the
flames, but they can all be re.
paired, as the steel frames were
not injured by the fire, and the
work of rehabilitating them is
now icing pushed rapidly. The
following steel buildings will be
repaired and finished up without
any further delay, namely, Kohl
Building: Merchants Exchange,
Mutual Life, Wells. fargo, Union
Trust, Crocker, Monadnock, +,
Chronical, Claus Spreckles, Hi
bernia Bank, Mutual Savings
Bauk, Shreve, James Flood,
Saint Francis Hotel, Fairmount
Hotel and the Newman and Levi
son. These can, and will, be
fixed up and made as good as
they were before the confiagra.
ton, and will form quite nice
little nucleus for the new and
greater city.
Another problem with which
the city has had to deal is The
caring for the poor homeless
refugees who lost everything in
the great fire. About twenty
five thousand are living in tents
In the public parks and are being
fed largely from the public fund
provided by the generosity of the
American people, though they
are all gradually getting work
again and consequently will
sooE be able to care for them
selves. The rainy season being
near at hand, all these people
viii! have to be housed from the
inclement weather which pre-
walls during this season. Small
two and three room cottages are
being erected by the Relief Com
mittee in the parks which will
give them shelter and protection
from the cold and damp of the
rainy season. All relief 10 the
refugees is administered through
the Relief Committee, the Chair
man of which is Honorable
James ID. Phelan, Ex.Mayor OF
San Francisco and one of her
most public spirited and honora-
BILE citizens.
It will be seen that, while
San Francisco has been given a
most stunning blow, she will
soon recover and become a great
er city than she was before the
great catastrophe. 1t will take
some time but she will be re
stored to the proud position she
once occupied in the CONNER
cial world.
San Francisco is situated on o.
peninsular with the Bay of San
Francisco on her east, the Pa
cific Ocean on her west and the
famous Golden Gate on her
north, which connects the Bay
and the Ocean, and it is there
fore properly termed the Gate.
way of the Pacific. Her harbor
is one of the finest in the world.
She has naturally deep water,
that is, it requires no dredginE

DECISION IN
BANKRUPTCY CASE
DOLE GIVES A TECHNICAL RUL-
ING ON A QUESTION OF TITLE
TO PROPERTY.

United States Judge Dole yesterday
gave decision in the bankruptcy case
of Y. Y. Hirose, settling a technical
question as to title of goods claimed
by the trustee in bankruptcy. The syl-
labus sets forth the proposition as fol-
lows
I'm a proposition for selling goods
where the understanding is that the
goods will be delivered to the prOpos-
ed purchaser upon his payment of the
price therefor, the failure of the pro-
posed purchaser to pay absolves the
proposed seller from any obligation to
deliver
The proposed seller inVoiced the
goods in the name of the proposed buy
er, but mailed the invoices to his own
agent, and instructed that proposed
buyer by mail that if he would pay
the price of the goods to the agent he
could get the invoices from him; held,
that the fact that the invoices were
made out in the name of the proposed
buyer, conferred no title on him under
the circumstances"
