~ AN FRANCISCO. April Is tvia Sac
ramento,-The earthquake shock ee-
scended upon the bay cities at al
most exactly o'clock tAis morn
ing.
The temblor was of several minutes
duration and was accompanied by
rumbling noise.
Chimneys and buildings toppled over
as il made of cards, nearly every tall
building was cracked and fires broke out
in a hundred different parts of the ci y
at once.
In the vicinity of the new city hall
the shock was accompanied by a deafeu-
ing crash as the great structure crCnl-
bled away leaving only the giant STEEL
girders standing to mark the site Of a
structure that was several years IN
building nd whic hcost the city over
ceven million dollars.
The ferry building tower toppled over.
and almost every tall building in the city
was seriously damaged by the shock.
The Merchants Exhange b.ilding on
California street, between Montg on.ery
and Sansome, was rent by the shock,
as are also the Chronicle and the Call
buildings.
A number of brick buildings in tte
wholesale district and in the district
south of Market street collapsed
LOSS OF LIFE is GREAT.
There is no possibility of estinsstirg 6
the loss of life at his writing; but IL is
known that hundreds are dead. and
probably over a thousand persons are
earthquake shock itself.
1t is probable that the casualty list oe-
casioned by the conflagrations that are
raging over the city will equal that due
to the temblor.
Many firemen have been seriously In
jured during the battle with the aaines
and it is reported that several have hscn
killed.
SHOCK CAME WITHOUT ANY
WARNING.
The earthquake shock struck tne ity
without any warning. Instantly all Was
confusion. Everywhere, amid the crash
Of crumbling walls. the screams md
cries of the frightened populace rent tho
air.
Half clad people tumbled srauti ally
into the streets. where they I'm alb nj
wringing their hands.
Several persons were killed by sal ing
bricks and debris. Houses seemed te
topple over under the terrific urheaval
OF the earth and the city pre- santed 9
terrible sight.
Dawn had just crpt over the half
sleeping city as the temblor CraspeL u
and moment after the shock had sJ'
sided lurid tongues of fame lit up the
city in dozen different directions. Tht
fire companies turned out quickly to bat
tie with the new menace, but only tc
discover that every water main in th'
city had been destroyed by the eaitn
