10 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, JULY 9, 1896. FLAMES AMONG ~ THE FURNITURE The West Coast Company’s Factory Badly Dam- aged. THREE ALARMS SOUNDED Much of the Rough Material in the Shops De- stroyed. ONLY A SMALL INSURANCE. The Loss Will Reach a Total of Nearly Fifty Thousand | Dollars. One-half of the West Coast Furniture Company’s factory on Fourth and Bryant streets was destroyed by fire last night. The blaze caunsed three alarms to be sounded from box 63 after 10:20 o’clock. No sooner had Assistant Chief Engineer Dougherty, who is acting as Chief during the absence of Chief Sullivan, reached the locality than he realized it was a danger- ous blaze, and had to be conquered quickly or it would spread. He immediately czused a second alarm to be turned in, which brought eleven engines. The building is a large brick structure in the shape of an L, four stories on the Fourth-street side, three on the Bryant- street front. The former is filled with a large stock of furniture and the latter part is where the rough material was worked up. It was in this part that the fire was located, mnear the boiler-room, and it spread through the shavings and inflam- mable material with alarming rapidity. Ten minutes after the second alarm the third was turned in, and seventeen en- gine com panies were soon at work pumping thousands of gallons of water through the windows into the fire, which was fortu- nately confined within the brick walls. In the yard between the L and the street was the principal seat of operation. Half a dozen streams were ‘‘siamesed’’ and the column of water was directed against the ames, which were steadily progress- ing toward Bryant street. Lines of hose was carried to the roof of a couple of small buildings in the yard and to the top of the main building from which they were brought to bear upon the monstrous furnace below. On the south side of the building is a va- cant lot, and there the water-tower took up its position and poured a powerful stream into the windows. Another stream was directed into the building from the Perry-street end, which prevented any spread in that direction. For a time it was feared that the flames would get into the main building, not- withstanding the heavy brick fire wall that separates the two parts. Had the flames reached tie varnish-room there would bave been a merry blaze, and nothing short of the total destruction of the build- ing and contents and probably a part of the surrounding buildings would have been the result. But the firemen held theirown and kept the fire confined in the south L. At mid- night they had the blaze under control. The wooden and willow ware factory of Armes & Dallam occupied & part of the building in the rear, and this place with the rest went up in smoke. ST HOW IT_STARTED. The Origin of the Fire a Mystery to All Interested. The watchman, M. Zickyrooff, states that when he saw the blaze it was under he stairs leading to the second story, at a considerable distance from the engine and fire rooms and nowhere near the parts where the lumber and shavings were located. His story was to some extent corrobor- ated by Frank Miller, a boy who lives at 411 Fourth street. He first saw the fire on the steps in back of the boiler-room. He immediately told the watchman, who had just returned to the office after making his round of the building. The watchman turned in an alarm from the auxiliary box and then hastened to turn in a regular alarm trom the box at Fourth and Harrison streets, after search- ing about the building for a hose. Several people on the surroundin streets state that the fire was in the secon story at the west end, and that it seemed to leap into the third story and through the rooms on both floors as though along & train of powder or gasoline, The engineer asserted that it could not have started in either the boiler or shav- ing rooms, as both were inclosed in fire- proof brick walls, e INSURANCE WAS RISKY. Representatives of Companles Tell Why Insurance Was Light. A representative of the Royal Insurance Company of London and the Continental Insurance Company, both of which have risks on the building, gave the following statement of facts: *‘The insurance on the building is light. Just what it 15, of course, I am not at lib- Tty to state. *“Itis the class of insurance that goes begging ou the street. Several fires have broken out in the building before. Itisa part of the Sharon estate, and companies have been freely offered good risks in all the buildings of this estate over town if they would insure this particular one. ““The part fronting on Harrison street was burnea to the ground about three years ago, and was replaced by a corru- gated-iron building two stories high. A solid brick wall separates this from the adjacent building. It is occupied by Chi- nese cigar manufacturers. “‘An American cigar-box factory is on the ground floor of the brilding near the intersection of the two wings. We always dislike to insure such light and in- flammable material. Besides, the yard was constantly viled with lumber, sawdust and shavings.” Add to this the fact that the structure was filled with furniture, oil and other highly combustible axticles, and you can easily see why we have not taken heavy risks.” R ey LOSS AND INSURANCE. Only $12,000 on the Whole Build- Ing and Scarcely Anything on the Burnt Portion. L. Emanuel, one of the proprietors of the company, reached the building shortly. after the slarm was turned in. When seen late last night he had just come back after an examination of the stock room, where the Underwriters’ Patrol men were busy covering the furniture with rubber blankets. Mr. Emanuel could not venture a guess as to the loss. The fire destroyed the con- tents-of the cabinet-room, consisting of lumber, machinery and miscelianeous ma- terials. The insurance on the whole building was only $12,000, and on the burnt wing of the building there was scarcely any insurance at ail on account of the high rate of 6 per cent. The insu; ance was ed with the Scottish Com- mercial and various other insurance com- panies, but just which company insured rhe destroyed portion it was impossible to earn, The loss and damage will not be learned for several days. Mr. Manuel states that there was not a very large amount of raw materials in the part that was gutted, but others assert that the place was well filled, tn'jlme firm has several large contracts to The greatest loss and damage was to the machinery, which was heated to a white heat by the flames and then broken to pieces by the douches of cold water that flooaed the building. It was roughly estimated that Emanuel & Co. will lose between $25.000 and $35,000, while Armes & Dailam’s loss will run be- tween $6000 and $10.000. It is believed that not less than $50,000 will cover the loss, to say nothing of the damage to the building. e i A VICTIM OF FIRES. Emanuel & Co. Have Had a Run of Very Bad Luck. The fire fiend seems to have camped upon the trail of E. and L. Emanuel. This is about the fourth time they have been ®urnt out. Several years ago their building at the same place was wiped out by ablaze. Eight years ago the scene of last night was enacted in the south L, nearly the whole of that part going up in smoke. The big Bancroft fire on Market street will long be remembered. It started in Emanuel’s furniture store in that fatal structure and a large stock was then de- stroyed. There have been several small fires in the factory during the past six years, but none of a serious nature. MIDWEEK THEATER NOTES Crowds Go to See “ Romeo and Juliet” at the Tivoli Opera- House. There was no falling off in the attend- ance at the Tivoli last night; indeed the crowd was so great at the box-office that a couple of special officers had to labor diligently to keep impatient hungerers and thirsters after opera trom breaking out of line. - The work given last night was Gounod’s “Romeo and Juliet,” for the first time in this City. That significant fact shows what an operatic famine 8an Francisco has been enduring, for in the East and in Europe “Romeo and Juliet” is one of the most sung works of the French repertory. In- deed at present it almoat exceeds ‘'Faust” in popularity. To attempt a detailed criti- cism of the work at this late day would be absura. In the main the libretto follows the story of Shakespeare’s tragedy, dealing chiefly with its love element, which it has treated to a considerable extent in a series of dramatic and exquisitely melodions duets between Romeo and Juliet. The duel scene has been made much of, and from a dramatic standpoint forms a mag- nificent foil to the linked sensations iong drawn out of the love scenes. Musically speaking ‘“Romeo and Juliet” is more modern in its treatment than “Faust,” *Mirella,” etc. On this account the rich, almost sensuous melodies in which it abounds do not strike the ear so strongly on a first hearing. Those who were familiar with the opera, however, could revel last might in the ‘‘tunes,” which after all are what appeal most to the popular ear. To those who heard it for the first time “Romeo and Juliet’” no doubt sounded declamatory. As an operatic drama it is not so stirring and dramatic as “Faust,” though the story 1sa tenderer and mora exalted one. The performance was less even than that given to the “Lucia.” In certain scenes it was brilliant, in otners it leit something to be desired, but on the whole it was one on which to congratulate the management. Fernando Michaelena, as Romeo, more than fulfilled the promise of real dramatic genius, which be had given as Edgar of Ravenswood. All through the long, exacting role he shone atike as actor and singer, His round, well-schooled, vibrant voice was fully equal to all vocal requirements of his role. His acting would have been applauded if bz had only been acting and not singing. His by-play, particularly in the dramatic duel scene, was most fin- ished, and in the love passages he was as tender as he was virile where the role called for sterner stuff. Nina Bertini Humphreys was on the whole a satisfactory Juliet. She wili be remembered as one of the stars of the Tavary troupe two years ago. It wasno doudt a little hard for her to come after Mme. Natali, who is such a much more finished vocalist in every respect, but if Miss Bertini Humphreys' work seemed at times schoolgirlish compared to that of the more experienced prima donna who preceded her on Monday and Tuesday, she nevertheless made a charming Juliet, and in the balcony scene, as well as in the scene in her chamber, she did some very vretty work. Her waltz song, which she sang in French, did not produce the effect that it generally creates. John J. Raffael really surprised his friends by the exceilence of his Mercutio. He nns the “‘Queen Mab” aria delight- fully and his duel scene was a fine piece of acting and aingjng. Martia Pache made an excellent Tybalt. The pretty role of the page was not made the most of by Miss Russell, who has a fine voice, but does not know how to use it. Mme. Casati had so little opportunity of shinine as the nurse that it might be fairer to defer judg- ing her singing. As friar, Lawrence Abramoff did excel- lent work. “‘Romeo and Juliet” contains splendid choruses, and too much praise cannot be given the chorus work in the street scene, which includes the duel. Much of the other chorus work was good, but this par- ticular scene, both with regard to chorus and soloists, was tne gem of the per- formance and well deserved the ovation it received. Gustave Hinrichs conducted’ with his usual skill. At first it seemed doubtful whether the pnblic would really enter into the spirit of the beautiful work, but the enthusiasm began with the beautiful Rar- den scene and it went on growing. New and arustic scenery had been painted for the representation. POLICE JRIBUNAL. Three Patrolmen Fined and One Ten- ders Bis Resignation. The Police Commissioners met last nizht, all the members being present. Po- liceman Edward Hartley was fined $10 for failing to satisfactorily explain to his ser- geant his absence from his beat.

Father Comyns of St. Charles, the spiritual director of the | Go | tainment and reception was tendered the visiting del Young Ladies’ Insti- tute No. 1 at K. R. B. Hall, corner of Ma- gon and O’'Farrell streets. New officers have recently been elected in this order, and the ceremony of instal- lation was first conducted with closed doors. The installation ceremony was conducted by Past Grand President Ella myns. Following is the list of newly elected officers: President, Miss Kate Driscoll; first vice- president, Miss rette Ryan; second vice- president, Miss Carroll} corresponding and recording secretary, Miss M. E.

In the name of the order Miss Sophia A. Grote presented the retiring gmldent, Miss Kate Fitzpatrick, with 8 handsome and conlg gold waich and chain. Miss Grote embraced the occasion to praise the T tiring president for the efficiency she had demonstrated in the discharge of her manifold official duties, and thanked her therefore in the name of Institute No. 1 Miss Fitzpatrick replied in a neat speech, saying the moment was one she would always remember, and the gift should b- one of her most fully cher- ished mementos, coming as it did from those with whom she had been so long and so intimately associated. Miss Kate Gleason, the retiring treasurer was pre- sented with a beautiful pin, also. A royal “‘good time” was then enjoyed by those assembled, which lasted till late in the evening. Customs Employes Now Smile. The long delayed June salary warrants for the Custom House employes arrived yester- day, and in comfequence there is great joy in Federal circles. ?v. was at first thought the fund had been exhausted, and would not be repleted until November, when the nextap- propriation becomes available.

ROCK THAT IS PURE QUARTZ An O!d Tin Panand a Shovelful of Earth Yield a Lump of Yellow Metal. Jack Hayes of the harbor police is no longer a silver man, 1n fact he is a decided gold bug. His change of metallic prefer- jence took place a day or two ago. Mr. Hayes lives in Sausalito among the charm- ing Hurricane Gulchers. A creek runs behind Mr. Hayes’ cottage and in bis wanderings along its bank Mr. Hayes has observed the presence of old- fashioned, gold-bearing quartz in large quantities. Mr. Hayes knows this rock to be gold quartz, becaunse when he was younger he spent many a prosperous hoar prospecting on Pikes Peak and vicinity for this same metal. Day before yesterday Mr. Hayes said to his wife, “I believe I will experiment a little.” Accordingly he shouldered a Miss Sophia A, Grote, Acting President of the Grand Council, Y. L. L. organization, who complimented the order for its efficient work in the past and en- couraged them to reach still further in their laudable endeavor to aid the sick, suffering and destitute with which the land abounds. “By their fruits shall ye know them,” said Father Comyns. “I am happy to state that the fruits of your labors are such as to justify me in saying you may be recognized as a band of noble Christian workers in the vineyard ot truth.” This address was followed by continu- ing the reading of the minutes of the grand directors. At the conclusion the reports of the grand secretary and grand treasurer were submitted. That the institute is in a most flourish- ing condition is amply demonstrated by these reports. The receipts of the past year aggregated $9320, while the disburse- ments amounted only to $5219. The reports of the finance, supply, head- quarters and printing committees were submitted. The report of the finance committee corroborated that of the tr as- urer. The headquarters committee re- ported having $1125 in the treasury. This fund was raised by setting apart 2 per cent of ti.e receipts. These reports were all examined by the committee on returns and adopted. The members of this committee are Miss Nellie Greany, Mrs. A. Wilkes and Mrs. Sweeney. At the conclusion of this business there was an alarm o fire and a recess was de- clared in order to afford the rural dele- gates an opportunity to view the firemen in action. It proved a faise alarm, how- ever, and the country delegates mast wait for another opportunity to view the fire laddies, Father O'Connell enlivened the morn- ing session with an interesting discourse, in” which he gave the insiitute some earnest and timely advice, Success in any undertaking, be said, depends quite as much upon the work done by indi- vidual members as upon the harmonious action of all, It was learned with gratification that the organization of a branch institute had been effecied at Livermore and that appli- cations had been received from Stockton and Port Costa to follow suit. The committee on returns was notified that it would be expected to make recom- mendations rezarding the expenditures for the ensuing year, including the subject of choosing headquarters. This ended the work of the morning. In the afternoon an invitation from Mayor Sutro to visit the Heights and other points of attraction in .the vicinity was read. The Frawley Company also extendea an invitation to the institute to attend the play of “London Assurance.” The comnrlny was seconaed in this cour- tesy by Manager Friedlander, who offered the liberty of the theater. The following telegram was received from the grand president, Mrs. I. Wynne, now lying very ilt at her home in Vallejo. It was addressed to the grand secretary, Miss Josie Mailoy: VALLEJ To the s and Members of the Eighth Grand Young Ladies' Institute—Many thanks for sympathy. My heart and thoughts are with you. May success attend you. An amendment to the effect that sick and death benetits be placed in the by-laws instead of the constitution was then brought forward. Tn company with other amendments it will be acted on some time to-day. The delegates were instructed to have all their amendments placed upon the.lable ready for action to be taken on them this morning. Some discussion was indulged in anent a supreme jurisdiction. At present there isan Atiantic and a Pacific jurisdiction, but the desire has been expressed ihat a supreme inrlsq\ction be created. This ?n':lnlnn will receive further consideration ater on.

DEATH AT THE BATHS, Frank Denvin Falls Into an Empty Tank and Crushes His Skull Sutro’s Famous Resort the Sceme of a Tragedy, Attributed to Carelessness. Frank Denvin, the 16-year-oid son of William J. Denvin, a contractor, living at 426 Castro street, received injuries at the Sutro Baths yesterday resulting in his death three hours later. Whether the accident was due to the criminal carelessness of those in charge of the baths or to young Denvin’s own reck- lessness, or both, is a matter of much speculation. deceased lost his footing, tumbling to the big tank below. His head was first to strike the hard cemeat, resulting in a severe fracture of the skull. The tank was embty, otherwise the fall might not have resulted fatally. Young Denvin, in com; de Haven and Bert de street, and Mrs. Chappman, 435 Eddy street, visited the Cliff House yesterday with the intention of making a day of it. About noon the boys determined to take a plunge before lungh and for that pur- pose repaired to the bathhouse. There were a lot of other fun-seekers on hand, and soon t: e two boys were making merry with the throng. It is considered great sport to slide down the sharp inclines Which lead into the smaller tanks, and it was while endeavoring to enjoy one of these exhilarating slides that Denvin met his death, Five or six of the young bo{l attempted to climb into the slide running into tank 4. They all got up safely except Eu- gene Yanke and Denvin. As the former was about to step on the platform above his foot slipped, causing him to fall heav- ily against Denvin, The latter lost his hold on the ladder, and, falling to the platform below, bounded into the empty tank. [t is a mooted question whether the fructure came from the first obstruction or the cement flooring. His triends claim that he fell from the ladder to the tank, never once touching the nar- row platform. The employes atthe baths say, however, that the fracture came from the impact with the platform. I did not see the accident myself,” said Professor Killick, who has charge of the life-saving department at the baths, “but from what I can gather, the boy nf first and then bounded into the tank. It is possible, of course, that he might mnot ve touched the flooring at all, = but the surroundings do not favor such a thebry. One of my «keepers caught young Yanke, thus preventing hiv receiv- ing a fall which might also have resulted fatally. I have cautioned the boys time and again to be careful, but my warnings are never heedea. Of course, it there had been water in_the tank the results mifihb :h‘i"k been different, though I hardly nk £o.” The big tank at Sutro’s Baths is emptied twice each week. Yesterday was the reg- ular day for putting in fresh water, Prior to the accident there were no ropes guard- ing the platforms hcrdorhu&):n the tan! but immediately following Denvin’s fai fali ropes were stretched. Children Cry for Pitcher’s Castoria. In attempting to climb a | ladder leading to one of the slides the shovel and hung therefrom a large pan. He filled the pan full of the promisiug- looking earth and cradled it out in the good old way. Mrs. Hayes, who tells the remainder of the story, says she heard shouting in the neighborhood of the creek and saw her husband rushing toward the house, hatless, shovelless, but bearing in his hand the large pan half full of the wet earth. As soon as Mr. Hayes recoved his breath sufficiently he gasped, ‘‘Look at this,” and held up to the astonished gaze of his wife two good-sized nuggets of pure, yellow goid. Mr. Hayes is now negotiating to buy the lot that adjoins him on the creek side. “I always wanted the lot,” said he, “‘but it seems dearer to me now than ever before. But I hardly think there is very much metal hereabouts. I found th-se nuggets in the bed of the creek. It may have been washed down from up higher on the ridge. “All the land around here was first bought by a man named Miiler as mining property. It was subsequently sold to the Sausalito Land ana Ferry Company. The ground upon the ridge about seven or eight years ago was quite extensively pros- cted for goid, but whether much was found or not I do not know. There may, of course, be nothing in_ this; still, next Sunday, when I have leisure, I intend to thoroughly examine the locality and wash quantities of the gravel. Even if it has washed down from above the creek is deep enough in gravel to contain a snug little fortune.” The two nuggets found by Mr. Hayes are about as large as huckleberries.
