San FRANCISCAN HORROR.
Terrible Destruction of the City
by Violent Earthquake
and Flames.
Fire Results In All Parts Of Metrop-
archaeological Scientists Say No
Connection Between Quake and
Vesuvlan Eruption.

1t was during the repose Of early
morning; the Spring-time sun was
casting it's golden rays over the Sierra
Nevadas and striking down into the
peaceful, slumbering valley OF the
Sacramento. All the Western Henri
sphere was at peace with the elements.
Suddenly there came an awful growl-
ing and crashing beneath the very cen
tire of San Francisco. and in tenth OF
the space of time required to describe
the event, falling walls and fire COM
bined to work on the metropolis Of the
Pacific the most appalling natural ca
lamity which has occurred on this
continent since the landing of the Pill
grims. The destruction that has been
accomplished is almost incalculable.
The inferno of flames which burst forth
simultaneously in various parts Of the
city was rendered still more terrible
by the repeated quakings of the earth,
by which the rescuers were in mo-
mentary danger Of being buried with
the dead beneath the falling structures
The very earth itself-our own mother
earth-proved as treacherous as a
deadly snake, and the usual ocean
breeze. by strange perversion of ma
ture. hauled around to point where it
famed the flames to intensity and
became a deadly agent of destruction.
The general dismay of the populace
was augmented by the constant roar
of dynamite explosions, made in vain
effort to check the progress Of the
flames. The vast pail of smoke that
blotted out the sky did not tend to ale.
viate the general anxiety. Yet, in such
surroundings, calculated to inspire uni.
versal panic and madness, there were
performed numberless feats of heroism
that will remain on the scroll of time
as illustrious proofs of the nobility
which is hidden beneath the surface of
ordinary life. Cool heads and brave
hands, with stout hearts behind them
performed their work of rescue in the
very face of death, and even the indie
scribable horror of the earthquake was
overcome.
San Francisco, rich and proud city
has been swept by fires before and
has, phoenix like, arisen from her
ashes. Moreover, she has more than
once experienced earthquake tremors
which were, to say the least, injurious
and menacing. But America is q
cemented nation. The disasters of one
section bring together in one grand
sympathetic bond the inhabitants oil
the others, all anxious and insistent
upon holding out the helping hand anG
voicing words of sympathy to the af
flicted sister. States, cities and towns
throughout the entire Union have Of
fered unstinted assistance in the way
of money, food, clothing and medica
attendance, with which to relieve the
want, not only of San Francisco, but
also the other California cities
and towns which have suffered with
the metropolis Of the State.

for the development Of its railroad

young Chinaman who was taking
graduate course at Cornell while she
was there, The graduate student was
sent here, it is said. not only to in
crease his technical knowledge of en-
cheering, but to obtain for his coun-
try the best engineers to be had. He
watched Miss Blatch's work closely
and offered her a place.

all the expenses of her artistic edu-
cation herself.

When President Roosevelt, on April

An ostrich egg weighs about three
and half pounds. 1t is less delicate
in flavor than a hens egg, although
perfectly eatable. 1t is a curious fact
that ostrich eggs will keep fresh for
two or three months. The flesh of the
ostrich itself is edible, being not unlike
veal in flavor.

Miss Longman's design has two pam
els representing peace" and "War." On
the peace panel is figure symbolizing
science, an old man in an attitude of
deep thought, explaining a difficult
problem to two students of the acad-
envy. On the war panel patriotism is
represented by female figure, SYM
bolical also of the home, the protection
of which is assumed to be the reason
for the existence of the navy. Under
her draperies is a coat Of armor, and
with one hand on cannon she points
with the other to the distance, where
masts of ships show the destination of
the marching figures in the back
ground.
In the upper panels of the door are
festOons supported by shells-of oak
leaves over the war panel and olive
over that of peace. In the lower panels
wreaths of the same leaves inclose the
names of naval heroes. In the transom
is the dedication to the class of '6S,
and above the transom is group rep
resenting Fame-two laurel-crowned
figures on either side of an altar-like
pedestal with an inscription to John
Paul Jones, whose bones are to rest
in the crypt of the chapel. The pedes-
tai is surmounted by tripod, from
which issue flames, symbolizing endur-
ing fame
Award to Woman Unprecedented.
The award of this prize to a woman
is said to be an unprecedented event in
the artistic history of the country, and
a bright future is predicted for the
young sculptress.
81 consider Miss Longman to be one
of the most promising of our younger
sculptors," said Mr.. Daniel G. French,
whose assistant she has been for the
last four years.
Miss Longman was born in Win
chester, Ohio her father, Edwin IL.
Longman, being a musician and an ar
tist Drawing was one of her childish
amusements and she began modelling
without instruction in the art depart
ment of 0livet College Her work there
attracted the attention of dorado Taft,
who invited her to enter the Chicago
Art Institute as his pupil. She did So

penses by doing library work Then
she was made an assistant instructor
in the school, and year or two later
she came to New York, where she
soon after became an assistant to Mr.

No Connection With vesuvius.

Coming as this disaster did, practi-
cally coincident with the Vesuvian ca
lamity in Italy, many persons suppose
that there was a direct relation be-
tween the two. This idea, however,
is logically contradicted by Director
Charles d. Walcott. of the Geological
Survey. Mr.. Walcott holds that there
is no possibility of connection be-
tween the earthquake and the Italian
volcano, for these two are entirely diff
ferent scientific phenomena respon-
sible for such earthquakes and vol
canic disturbances.
Great earthquakes, says Mr.. Walcott,

INJUNCTION DISSOLVED.

Judge Ullman, in the court of com mon pleas yesterday, dissolved the in- junction obtained by Attorney Carl A. Mears, in behalf of Mrs. Mary Dam, of 5S1 Grand avenue, restraining Isaac Kellar from disposing of her goods by auction. Kellar held a note of the woman on which she failed to make payment. He secured Judgment by de- fault and secured an order for the sale of her goods in her store. This sale was stopped by an injunction secured by Attorney Mears, on behalf of other creditors, who alleged that the sale of the goods to cover judgment for Kellar would defraud them of their share.
 Attorney c. H. Fowler appeared for Kellar and secured a dissolution of the injunction, and the sale can now pro- ceed.

 Minor H. Hart, of Unionville, the suD-contractor for Holbrook & Daily, railroad contractors, was sentenced to jail for seven months yesterday in the superior court for the theft of $1,S00 worth of machinery. Hart was brought before this term of the superior court on bench warrant, making a per- sonal request to State Attorney Will Hams that that be done, saying that he was guilty and that he wanted to begin his term in jail or in prison at once.
 MT. Williams, in addressing the court, said that Hart's fall from grace was due, in part, to exceptionally abundant family troubles, and that as several persons were dependent upon his earn ings, and in view of the fact that he was repentant, he thought that short jail sentence on each of two counts would be sufficient.
