Damage to Southern Pacific Line
Nag Be Considerable.

z. H. Hartman. president of the Union Pacific
and Southern Pacific roads. started for San
Francisco yesterday morning his private car
being attached to the o'clock train the
Pennsylvania Railroad. From Chicago to the
coast his car will form part of a special train
which will have right Of way the Chicago
and Northwestern and the Union Pacific and
Central Pacific.
AS far as has been definitely learned. the loss
of the Southern Pacific by destruction of it's
property at San Francisco will probably not be
heavy although the loss in traffic may he serious
for a time. If the reports of the direction of
the earthquake movement having been north
easterly through Sacramento and Reno. how
ever, prove correct, the Southern Pacific may
have suffered great loss by the destruction Of
tunnels and bridges, as that is the course fol-
lowed by its line from San Francisco.
At the local Offices Of the Santa Fe system
yesterday afternoon a dispatch was received
which said that the piers of the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company controlled by the Southern
Pacific Company at San Francisco were in
flames. but that Southern Pacific and Santa Fe
tugs were fighting the fire. The China Basin
piers, it was added. had settled considerably
As 10 the general situation in San Francisco, il
was said thai the entire district from 9Th street
to ths ferry, all Of the tract south of Market
street, except the waterfront. and four or five
blocks north Of Market street and east of Powell
street were in ruins, and that at the time the
dispatch filed the fire spreading and
unchecked.
Patrick Calhoun. president Of the United Rail
roads OF San Francisco. yesterday received the
following dispatch from Thornweu Mullaly. as
sistant to the president, who had forwarded it
by automobile train to Sacramento from
which point it was telegraphed:
Fire is sweeping over the city. We were
driven out OF offices Records saved. Several
power houses badly damaged. Cars stopped
Have organized our men to protect our property
at Dechair for operation early as possible and

 Mrs. Daily has taken this step in or der that she may derive dover inter est in the estate of her former husband, Michael J. Daly, a plumber in Water bury, who died last January. He left an estate worth about S2OO,O0O.
 Through Stoddard & Goodhart in her petition, Mrs. Daly says that in 1898 two of her children were taken away from her by her husband and sent somewhere unknown to her. She says that her husband promised to take her ito the place where her children were, and she accompanied him to Montreal, where he had her placed in a sanitari- um. She remained a prisoner for three months before her friends found out where she was.
 She returned to Waterbury and start ed divorce proceedings.
 At the time the case was decided il was estimated that her husband was worth $13,50O, and she was allowed $,4- 500 alimony. She says she never re- ceived that amount and only the in terest was turned over to her. Mrs Daly says that the facts concerning the value of Dalys property were mis represented at the time of her suit.
