For the first time since the fire gas lamps
were burning throughout the unbnrned
sections Of the city last evening and 40 far
as the street lighting ia concerned the un-
burned district has returned to normal
conditions.
The San Francisco Gas and Electric Com
pany has also started to supply gas to con-
sumers throughout a considerable section
of the city, but the necessity for an inspec-
ton of all gas piping in houses before gas is
turned on at the meters will prevent general
and immediate resumption Of gas service in
dwellings.
While San Francisco may never again
have cable roads. and certainly will not
have any for many months to come, mem
bers OF the Twenty-eighth Coast Artillery,
u. s. A., yesterday demonstrated that the
cable conduit is not without its uses. During
the morning the artillerymen established
a complete telephone and telegraph ser
vice for various military camps, and they
did this by laying the wires in the cable
conduits. Along each street that has a cable
slot big wagons passed, slowly unreeling
wire behind them. The necessary batteries
were attached and now the cable conduits
are converted into underground telephone
and telegraph lines. .
The most hopeless bit of charred paper OF
the fire blackened records of the business
houses of San Francisco may be made per-
fectly legible if the process invented by DR..
G. W. Shaw and Assistant Professor George
E. Colby of the State University continue
to meet with the unqualified success which
il has had during the last fortnight.
The invention OF Professors Shaw and
Colby has already been tried on the papers
and ledgers of a number OF burned out
houses, and representatives of these firms
are unqualified in their praise of the achieve
ments of DR.. Shaw and Prof. Colby Max
Merten, secretary of the American Import
Company, said:

we could decipher lead pencil marks, but all
other marking, whether pen written, type
written or printed, was absolutely indis-
tinguishable.'

He was sleeping in a folding bed. When
the shake came the bed folded and broke
his neck. The case has just come to the
notice Of Coroner Walsh through the under
taker who buried the body.

ball game played between the Fay Temple

for the benefit Of stage folk who were in

y Osbourne said to-day that there was little
destitution now in the colony. Most OF those
in distress lave been cared for already.
"The best evidence of this. he said

BAKERsFIELp, Cal, May lS.--The Southern
Pacific and Santa Fe railroad yards here
are crowded with freight cars that have been
arriving from the East consigned to mer-
chants in San Francisco, and as a result
there is great congestion. The same con-
ditions prevail at Sacramento, Stockton
and Fresno, where the side tracks are fun
The mass of freight consists mostly of spring
and summer goods which were ordered
from Eastern cities before the fire and
earthquake.
