THINKS LOSS WILL
RUN INTO A
BILLION
A. Reinhdrt Reviews the
Conditions In Ruined
Metropolis
Was Not Prepared for the Great
Devastation in the Business
Districts
REINHART, who returned from

a San francisco with his family last
evening. gives graphic descrip-
tion of the San Francisco ruins that
stretched forth as far as the eye could
reach after the destructive earthquake
and fire had leveled the once proud
Queen of the Pacific. ~
When I got into the city,. he said.
II expected at least to find few faml-
lar buildings standing on Market str ct
and in the wholesae district. The worst
accounts of the disaster that reached
my notice had not prepared me for the
met my gaze.
"The ferry building was standing and
seemed to have suffered but little dam
Age. the clock on the tower pointing 10
fourteen minutes past S o'clock. the mo-
ment of the fateful shock. But Market
street and the wholesale district was a
vast pile of ruins.
"Only the Call building, the James
Flood building and a few others re-
mained standing and all these had b EN-
gutted. In the wholesale district south
of Market street, the great building OF
J. A. Folger & Co. stood like a lone SEN
tinel among a great area of ruin and
ashes.
THE city hall is a wreck; the Mills
building is gone. the Merchants ex-
change building. which cost millions, is
gutted and twisted and cracked: the Ex-
aminer building and the Chronicle build
ings are ruined beyond all hope. ana the
site where once stood the handsome EN-
porium building. with the PARROT build
ing on one side, is now marked by a
mass of tangled ruins and debris.
Devastation and ruin are on every
hand: but already the the work of clear
ing the city and rebuilding is well under
way. Every one is compelled to help
In the work of clearing the streets, and
1t win be but the matter of a short
time when there will be thousands of
men at work in rebuilding the stricken
metropolis
when the real count of the loss to
buildings and stocks is made it will be
found, / am sure. that instead of $780,
100000 the loss by earthquake and fire
will easily have reached 5000. .O0o. .001.
You have only to count the losses en-
tailed by the destruction Of few of the
great buildings of the city to get a total
well into the millions. and when the
great area of buildings destroyed, to-
gether with the large stocks OF the
wholesale districts. are considered. II
will not be hard to understand that the
loss has been greatly underestimated."

other Blow
Little One Expires During Trip
From Reno, but Passengers
Respect her Sad Secret

~ TNGRY half-starved refugees ccn-
n tinue to pass through Winnemucsa a
by the trainload, and are giveA
food and words of cheer By the people of
Wlnnemucca.
The third large installment Of these
sufferers of the coast disaster arris ed
In winnemucra in. two section of No
g. there being fully 900 persons in all.
Thanks to the majority of the' business
men and the women of Winn m scca
not a one of that number failed TO get
his fill Of good food and excellent coffee
and the train pulled out to the accom-
paniment of the grateful cheers of the
unfortunate passengers.
The pitiable condition of these refu-
gees has been made impresively evident
by the condition of these refugees, man.
of whom werescarcely half clad and all
of whom were scaroe.y half clad. and a |
suffering through which they passei in
those awful hours after the earthquake
and fire had levoled rnany OF the cites
about the bay
A poignant and narrowing instance,
and one which brought tears TO the eyes
OF many of the refugees who were aware
of the circumstance. nwas that of a
young mother on the train who bore in
her arms the body of her dead baby.
The little one had died during tie jour
ney between Reno and Winnemucca, but
the neither had kept her dead sec ct
until a fellow passenger discovered the
fact by chance. The woman pe AIDED
hard that her secrSt be not betrayed be-
fore the train reached Ogden, her des-
tination. and those in the same car who
knew of the matter respected her wish.
The poor woman, driven almost fran
tic by the loss of home and husband. In
her greater loss seemed dazed by the
last blow that had fallen upon her and
she clung to the cold body of her babe
as If 1t held al the comfy;t and t..e
solace that remained for her in the
world.
Three childr were born on the third
section OF No. arriving here last even
ing during the trip from San Francisco
to Reno.
TO mention all those wno are doing
noble work in alleviating the sufferings
of the refugees passing through here 1t
would be necessary for The Silver Sta g
TO print the names of every person in
Winnemucca, with probably thre or -four
exceptions and space forbids that. Suf-
flee it, that the people of Winnemucca

b. Klucny and his manager, Chr. s
Deiss, have done a praisewortny work

In no case would they accept money of
any of them. They are deserving Of
great credit.

on Telegraph and Russian hills and
the city, when scores Of half-starved
dogs were found eating human bodies
The animals were discovered gnawing
and tearing at the corpses half buried
in the ruins. ~
Where only a leg or an arm protruded
the dogs were digging for the rest Of the
body.
Men who had been sent into the ruins
of homes to look for what little prop
erty might have escaped the flames
came upon this sickening condition, and
Immediately reported to the naval ON
GERS in command OF the waterfront mil
itary districts.
In response to their appeal that some
thing be done, bluejackets were detailed
to cover the sections designated and kill
all dogs found in those vicinities. All
morning rifle reports could be heard on
the hills and along the beach as the
dogs were killed. Men were pre- sed into
service either to bury tn bodies or throw
them into the bay. In a few places
smoldering fires were found and there it
was possible to cremate the animals.
1t was not believed that there were
so many dead in the ruins of Telegraph
and Russian hills until the dogs were
found there digging for the bodies
When the dogs have all been run down
and slain further search VIII be made
of those sections to Obtain the bodies
and bury them as soon as possible.
There have been no dispatches from
San Mateo. but it has been learned that
the Catholic church, magnificent $780,
600 structure. has been destroyed and
that the row Of buildings known as tho
Brown block is a mass of ruins.

cific Railroad will aid in every way with
the work of clearing away the debris
The railroad officials are ready to build
a track through the heart of the dc-
yastated city from Harrison street TO
the bay and to run their fiat cars in
for the wreckage that must be removed
before new buildings can arise and nor
NAL conditions be restored.
In this great work it is announced that
between 5000 and 1000 men will be en-
ployed The railroad will carry the de-
bris wherever the authorities want 1t
taken. and by so doing will make pos
sible the performance of the enorm us
task that has been terrifying to those
who looked forward to it with the
knowledge that it must be done. how
ever tremendous.
1t is said an application will be made
Immediately to the supervisors OF San
Francisco for franchise for this spur
track.
The exact route is not known. but tne
rails will perhaps be laid along the line
of least resistance and under the ex-
press stipulation that they shall be re-
moved as soon as the work OF cle2ri
away the wreckage of earthquake and
FIRE has been completed.
e. II. Hartman, president of the
Southern Pacific Company, is here to in
augurate the work and to see that it is
faithfully performed. if the suggestion
of the railroad men meets with favor at
the hands of the city officials. At the
meeting of the bankers. Mr.. Hartman
stated that he would do all in his pow II,
and work with every resource at his
command for the rebuilding of San
Francisco and the preservation of the
city's good name. His remarks to tn
bankers bolstered their hopes and gave
them new courage by consradicting. as
1t were. the rumors for several days
prevalent that the railroad officers and
interests would all be permanently re-
moved to Oakland.

EARTHQUAKE SHOCKS
CONTINUING DAILY.


SAN FRANCISCO. April 2s.-shocks
by the score have been recorded in San
Francisco by the United States weather
bureau under the direction of Forecas.er
McAdie. ever since the first great tenn
blor on Wednesday morning last. On
that memorable day no less than seven
teen distinct movements of the earth's
crust were recorded.
The great movement of the earth In
the bay region can hardly be said to be
over. McAdie says that he has records
of numbers of shocks for eevry day since
the fateful Wednesday. but he hastens to
assure the public that the danger from
a heavy shock of destructive charac-
ter is gone. The minor temblors which
are still coming. are merely the neuss-
sary movements OF the earth m tho
process of adjustment. They will como
at greater intervals and grow weaker
until they become absolutely imp r
ceptible.
