A ,h- Ii t {, ~
San Francisco, April 1S. In
the confusion which reigns
everywhere here, it is almost
impossible to learn the details
Of the disaster caused by the
earthquake this. morning. In
general it may be said that the.
district lying between Market
and Howard streets from the
bay as far west,as the city hall,
has been badly wrecked. e.
Fire which has been raging
in the vicinity Of Fourth and
Stevenson streets has gotten
] beyond control of the firemen
and the flames have leaped to
the Winchester rooming house
on the west side Of Third street.

street with sporadic fires in the

is a mass of flames. The Call
building at the corner of Third
and Market streets has just
burned and the Anglo-Califor-
MIA bank has also been destroy

has been more or less damaged

anyone on sight detected in
theft.
The damage already inflicted
is estimated roughly at $780,

The fires are spreading rap
idly and unless the wind comes
up from the west and blows the
flames toward the bay, nothing
can stop the destruction Of the
city.
The whole north end of the
city is wrecked, and the flames
are spreading in all directions.

50 do not suppose that ! am so very
stupid 10 have assumed that all there Is
to balloon Is simply II gas bag and
some ropes TO hold the basket under

landing was simply that the balloon
dropped when 1t got ready to do so, and
thus the daring persons who rode In such
foolish conveyances found terra tirma
again. After analysing Il balloon with

maker has his plan always before him,

This Is done so that If by any accident

In the balloon Is not sufficient to cause
serious trouble. And In this connection

n fall might happen. But In his eagcr-
ness he yanked it too hard. lie had laid
hold of the proper rope all right, but
he opened the valve so wide that the
balloon came down with terrific velocity.
AT first the boy did not notice the speed
of his descent. But when he struck Il
tree the force of the fall was so great
that he bounded through the branches
like cannon ball, taking the boughs with
him. After he struck the ground he
rolled until he lay at the very edge of
the canal Here the people who came
running from all directions found him,
rucfully sitting up surveying his wrecked

hands. The town of Canton was only n
few moments away and there he was
taken, cleaned, bandaged and fed and
set upon his way back to Cleveland. His
