DESTRUCTION COMPLETE WITHIN THESE LIMITS.

In the Hayes Valley district, south of McAllister and north of Norfolk, fire was confined on the west by Octavia street, on the north by McAllister. In these con fines the destruction was complete. Therein was located St. Ignatius school and church, of which the sidewalks re- main. Of the Mechanics pavilion, the scene of hundreds of great political, social and sporting events, not a timber remains. Opposite 1t was St. Nicholas hotel, and it Is now simply a pile of ruined bricks, a ruin among the many of a similar nature. From this point down to the Oakland ferry an Associated Press man made his way through the menacing wall frontages and climbing over hillocks of masonry and junk of all sorts in the middle of the city's greatest thoroughfare. the jour ney was heartrending. the scene appalling. On either side was ruin nothing but ruin. To the south in hundreds of blocks hardly building remained whole. The United States mint escaped almost unscathed on account of its isolated environments, and the peculiarly fireproof construction.
 Across an alley from the postoffice, which was badly damaged. stood the Grant buildings of the headquarters of the army. These were gutted. Op- posite the Grant building on Market street the ruins of the Hlbernian Savings bank loomed up, It's former beautiful frontage transformed into hideous aspect. This was the great bank of the middle and poorer classes, and it's loss will cause possibly greater sorrow south of Market street than perhaps any one institution. From this point down to the ferry the same story could be told of each suc- cessive block
 Last night at II o'clock the north side of the street had been untouched, and hope had been expressed that the great Flood. Crocker. Phelan and other build ings would be spared. but they are to- day included in the list of destroyed property.
 The handsome gigantic St. Francis hotel on Powell street. fronting on Union Square is a ruined shell.

SLOWLY THE FIRE
 ATE WAY UP SLOPE.

It is a beautiful structure of white stone visible from almost every point of the city, and the sorrow was universal when it's destruction was inevitable Slowly but surely the fire ate its way up the slope, consuming the homes of the late Mrs. Jane Stanford and the Hopkins Art Institute built by Mark Hopkins of Central Pacific fame. At, this writing the hotel could be seen occasionally stand ing in the center of the huge clouds of smoke. and if it is saved its salvation will be regarded In the light of supernatural interpretation. From the upward slope the fire also took a direction northwesterly into the district that had been left un- touched last night.
 In the Mission district to the south of Market street, the zone of ruin was ex- tended further westward toward the ex- treme southern portion but was checked at One Hundred and Forty-eighth and Mission by the wholesale use of dyna- mite. At this point are located the Southern Pacific hospital, the St. Fran els hospital and the College of Physi- clans and Surgeons. In order to save these institutions. buildings were blown up all around them, and the danger threatening them had been averted up to noon

CITY SEEN IN ALL ITS
 SMOKY NAkEDNEss.

From the water front the burned city can be seen today in all its smoky naked ness. From the Pacific Mail docks to Vallejo streets, on the West Side a dis tance of two miles, wreckage and debris is the rule. Although the fire did not jump East street, the damage has been enormous The filled in land facing the ferry building is a succession of little valleys, some four, others six feet deep. The ferry tower itself is out of plumb, and the big building is badly twisted by the earthquake.
 Looking up Market street the city is a smouldering mass of ruins. Great mer- cantile manufactures, mercantile houses, banks and railroad office buildings are nowhere to be seen.
 The day is bright and warm The sun Is beating down on the tired workers and rescuers. There Is scarcely any water to relieve the thirst of the suffering The heat Is threatening danger for the dead in many instances are lying in the streets among ruins. The authorities are doing all in their power to remove the bodies in order that a pestilence may be pre- vented. It has been necessary repeatedly to move the injured from places where they had secured temporary relief, as the fire spread with alarming rapidity. What is increasing the concern Of the firemen and people. is lack of water. The wind changed this morning to the western part of the city, and the flames changed their devouring thirst southward and began eating their wide swath from the water front on the north of Market street up to what Is known as Mob Hill an emin- ence that had been selected years ago in the days of the "bonanza" by the multi -millionaires upon which to erect their mansions. This hill is surmounted by the Hotel Fairmont, just finished at cost of over a million dollars

NO AID FOR ANYONE
 FROM OUTSIDE SOURCES.

There is no aid for any one from out side sources. In the awful scramble for safety the half-crazed survivors disregard everything but the thought of themselves, and their property. In every excavation and hole through the north beach house. holders are burying household effects, throwing them into ditches, and cover ing the holes. Attempts are made to mark the graves of the property so that 1t can be recovered after the flames are ap- peased.
 Sufferers are invading the few buildings that remain in the hope of finding some- thing to eat. They only desst when warn ed or shot by the soldiers.
 At the ferry building crowd of a thousand people were gathered begging for food and transportation across the bay. Hundreds had not even 10 cents car fare.
 Among those at this point were China men and Italians who fled from their burned tenements with little or no per sonal property.
 Tonight the suffering from hunger Is pitiful. At o'clock a mob of a hundred or more robbed a bread wagon of It's con- tents. The police made an attempt to in- terfere but were powerless. Bread Is ar irving from Berkley and Oakland, and is being distributed in the north end of town by the relief parties organized by Mayor Sc1mitz

mothers by preparing tho system for the
coming Of baby, thereby rendering child
birth safe, sy, and almost painless.
Bear in mnd, please that Dr. Perce's
Favorite Prescription Is not secret or

intelligent people are quite naturally
averse, because of the uncertainty as to
their composition and harmless character,

team. He was arrested and brought
back to this county. When ar

the charge and received sentence
with bowed head.
