AN OLD MANS GRAPHIC TALE
II Is Now Believed the Great Fire Was
Almost Wholly Incendiary-De-
scription of Conditions
There at Present.

AT six o'clock last evening the steam
ship Roanoke the first vessel out OF San
Francisco for this port and Portland since
the terrible earthquake of last Wednes-
day, touched here at the Calender pier
for an hour on her way to the Oregon
metropolis, She was exactly forty'nine
hours from the San Francisco dock to
the Calender, and had on board about
thirty.three people out of the hundred
she carried out OF Los Angeles and the
Bay City. Twenty.one of these were
from San Francisco, and round dozen
from Eureka, for Portland. She drop
ped sixty seven from her roster at the
last named port.
Captain Dunham reports that when he
entered the desolated port. the authori-
ties at once ordered him into the chan
mel off the city, and to prepare his ship
for the immediate reception of her full
complement of sick women and children
and the worse invalids from the hos
pitals destroyed there; but he prevail
ed upon them to relinquish the idea and
permit him to pursue his voyage, on the
ground that all the people he had on
board for Eureka and Portland, would
become a burden on the city and that
on his return trip he would hold him
self amenable to orders which might be
fulfilled with more ease than at that
particular time. They let him go, af.
tsr taking on the twenty three peo-
pie who were waiting for transporta-
ton theence and he sailed at five o'clock
on last Saturday evening.
The captain who was ashore at San
Francisco for a couple Of hours says the
scene that confronts one from the bay
or from any point of vantage there, is

cisco man who could tell him something
Of the real conditions a they are known

His name is Daniel Watson, and the
story he told was told with the firm
and quiet force OF man deeply i'm
pressed with the volume and quality
that such a tale is susceptible of. Mr..
Watson knew the famous city as he
did the floors of his own home, and he
declares that no more than onefourth

THE LEMARE ORGAN RECITAL.
One of the Rarcst Musical Events OF
The Season In salt Lake.

Through the thoughtful courtesy Of
Mr.. and Mrs. l.. c, Miller, Salt Lake
musical people were able to listen last
evening, TO one Of the finest organ
recitals ever given IN this city, and
from world wide recognized master
OF his art, in the person OF Prof Ed
win II. Lemare. He is en- route to
Wellington, New Zealand. to open
great organ just built there, and stopped
over at this point to give a recital In
the First Congregational church The
attendance was not larger than the
average concert audience, but II was
composed OF the more noted music
lovers and patrons Of the art In town,
and the efforts Of the great artist were
thoroughly appreciated,
The program was made up with that
same knowledge of fine organ music
that characterized Theodore Thomas
selections Of orchestral programs, and
included light and heavy compositions
Of the very highest order from the best
known masters on the program were
the Bach Prelude and Fugue In d ma
for, Horsman's "Curfew" Wolsten-
holmes "Fantaisie Rustique," Organ
Sonata No. 6, by Mendelssohn Wag-
ner's Overture TO the "Parslfal," the
performers own "Pastorale" In +, and
"Madrigal." Improvisations, and the
Mozart Fantasia" IN F minor. AS an
encore to his own compositions, Prof.
Lemare played the favorite "Andan-
tino," which Is ever pleasant TO the
musical ear and always takes when
played In the Tabernacle recitals.
Considered all through, last evenings
recital was both an exquisite and a
stupendous performance. The first
number was not finished before the re-
marka Bile powers OF the organist had
become evident particularly his mar
velous pedaling finally brought out IN
unrivaled performance In the Mozart

colossal composition IN which the
