connection is made with the line running

EARTHQUAKE ON PACIFIC COAST
City of San Francisco in Ruins--- Many People killed---Loss
 Runs Into Millions

Probably the most disastrous earthquake in the hi tory of America occurred at San Francis co about five o'clock Wednesday morning.
 The latest reports from the stricken city sent out by the As. sociated Press states that the en tire city is doomed to destruction by fire.
 To add to the horror of the sit uation, 1t is feared that at any moment another violent shock may occur or that tidal wave may sweep over the city.
 The first earthquake shock caiae at i5:10 a. m. coast time, whici. k about two hours earlier than our time. This destroyed Il number of large buildings in the business section, and all of the smaller frame and brick structures. Then fire followed. The water mains were burst by the catastrophe, and 1t was impossible to fight the flames. While the victims were groping about the ruins, frantic with horror and powerless to do anything, a second shock came.
 It is believed fully 1000 per- sons have been killed. The total loss will not be less than $40, ,000, : GOO.
 The San Francisco Call building a sky scraper, collapsed and the building was ruined.
 Huge Assures were made in the earth in the main thoroughfares of the city, and street car tracks were torn and twisted by tue up heavel.
 The Valencia hotel, a five story structure, toppled over in the street and . persons were killed in the one building alone.
 Three miles of railroad track Is reported to have sunk between Suisun and Benelea. It is reported that Berkley, Cal. was also destroyed by the earth quake.

SKIN GRATING RECORD.
Whole Family Contributed to Help
Save Mrs Russell

One of the most remarkable cases of skin
grating in the history of surgery is in
progress at st. Joseph's Hospital, Yonkers,
to save the life Of Mrs. William Russell Of
Tarrytown, a member of an old family Of
Westchester county and social leader.
Yesterday the physicians were able to an
nounce that Mrs. Russell will almost GER
tainly recover.
1t was necessary to find enough live skin
to cover the entire lower portion Of the body
of Mrs. Russell, where the skin had been
burned away, and seven persons, including
Mrs. Russells nineteen-year-old son, her
husband, her brother-in-law, Coroner Frank
Russell, DR.. Faiella of St. Joseph's staff
and three hospital nurses volunteered to
supply the skin from their bodies.
Thus far more than 100 pieces Of cuticle
have been removed from the legs and arms
Of the seven volunteers and successfully
grated on the body of Mrs. Russell
For two weeks the skin grating has
been in progress, and while success is as
sured, 1t will be necessary to graft perhaps
200 more pieces of skin to complete the
operation.
Only few intimate friends knew Of the
horrible accident which occurred almost
three months ago at the camp of the Rus
sell family on the st. Lawrence river in
the Thousand Islands. Mrs. Russell was
cooking game over an alcohol stove when
1t was overturned and exploded.

KNOCK OUT BURGLAR.

form.


burglar who skilfully employs the solar
plexus punch to expedite his crimes, ap-
peared yesterday in Bellehaven, a fashion,
able suburb, where many wealthy New
Workers have summer homes, and success
fully rfed the residence Of Elwood w.
Russell and John R. johnson in short order,
though several servants were in the house
at the time.
It was about o'clock in the afternoon when
a sharp ring at the front door summoned
one of the maids. A tall man, powerfully
built, with a sandy beard and wearing an
overcoat, stepped into the hall the mo-
ment the maid threw open the door.
Before the young woman could utter a
word the visitor struck her a terrific blow
in the solar plexus, knocking her back
ward and almost unconscious to the floor
of the hall. He stopped over and pressed
handkerchief soaked with chloroform to
her nostrils, rendering her senseless.
Then he went upstairs and took $50 from
the room of one maid and S. from the room
of another. He ransacked the drawers of
bureau in Mrs. -Russell's room and got
a number Of valuable articles of jewelry.
Just what he stole the servants do not
know, as Mrs. Russell Is in New York
Be,lehaven is supposed to be overrun with
private police employed by the wealthy resi-
dents, but none could be found. Finally
Chief of Police Ritch of Greenwich, Conn,
was notified by telephone, but all trace of
the burglar was gone when he arrived.

SYNOD ADJOURNS.
Closing Meeting of Presbyterian Judi.
catory Held Last Evenin..

The Presbyterian Synod of Baltimore
which convened here Monday, closed last
evening with popular meeting. under the
auspices of the Women's SynodicaI Socie-
ties, in Gunton-Temple Church, 18th and r
streets northwest. Foreign missions was
the subject before the final meeting, and an
address upon that important feature Of
church work was made by Rev. DR.. A. w.
Halsey of the board of foreign missions.
After the delegates to the conference had
been received at the White House yesterday
afternoon and returned to the church, a re-
port was received from Rev. +. w. Dick
enS-Lewis ON Education" and DR.. Joseph
T. Kelly reviewed. TIE work of the commit
tee on college visitation. Rev. DR.. Teunis
s. Hamlin, chairman of the synodcal COM
mittee on foreign missions, presented a re-
port covering the labor and accomplish
ments of the committee during the year.
The remainder of the afternoon session
was given over to discussion concerning the
place of meeting for the next, fifty third,
annual meeting of the synod. In the nat
ural order of things Baltimore would be
selected for the meeting in 1907, but when
the time came to vote there were no invita-
tons to entertain the synod from any quar-
ter. DR.. Wallace Radcliffe called attention
to the fact that it nearly always fell to the
lot of the same people, in either Washing
ton, New Castle or Baltimore to entertain
the delegates. No great expense is in
volved, said DR.. Radcliffe, but there is
much trouble and labor. The speaker de-
clared in favor of having the next sessions
of the synod In one of the smaller towns.
Considerable debate ensued. the result being
that place for the next meeting
chosen, the question being left for determi-
nation to the moderator and the stated
clerks of the three presbyteries.

CUBANS MAY FIGHT.
Possibility That They Will Engage
in Duel

in Duel.
A dispatch from Havana says: The hrst
duel growing out of the greater freedom
with which local editors are expressing
their views Is expected to occur at day
break tomorrow, when Eduardo Alonzo OF
Ell Mundo will cross blades with Ramon
Gonzalez Mendoza, well-known young
lawyer and former captain Of United States
volunteers at Santiago, who was mentioned
by Gen. Kent for bravery in that battle.
Ell Mundo recently published an attack
on the city council, Of which Mendoza is
a member, charging 1t with corruption In
the matter of telephone concessions. The
fiery advocate Of the telephone companies
resented this at a meeting of the council
last night and denounced the local press
N turn.
.Alo 40 was at Mtndoca's house with
cane when The latter went home, and on-y
the efforts Of Porter prevented fgn..
A challenge from A;ofyo followed and was
accepted. it is said. Both men are expert
fencers and the affair, If not prevented by
alarmed friends, may prove an exception to
the usual Cuban affair of honor.
Alonzo's charges in Ell Mundo were re-
ferred by Gov. Magoon to Gov. Nunez fer
proof or retraction.
Some of the arms laid down by the
rebels have seen their last revolution. They
were broken up in Moro Castle yesterday
and cast into the sea.
It is understood here that Gov. Magoons
salary has been set by President Roosevelt
at $4,000. Why it should be s., 200 less
than President Palma received is not
known.
The same amount allowed for palace ex
penses by Cuban law W Il be allowed the
American provisional governor. All will.
of course, be charged against the Cuban
treasury, by which 100000 has been passed
to the credit of Gov. Magoon to meet the
expenses of American occupation.
There is much complaint among Clerks
brought from Washington over the high
those who pay house rent at home They
think an allowance for expenses should be
