Number of Buildings Wrecked by the Seiemic Disturbance. June 20.—The heav- iest shock of earthquake ever experienced here shook this vicinity shortly after noon to-day, doing great damage 1o property, but fortunately causing no loss of life. The shock seemed to be of the twister variety and lasted fully ten seconds. The greatest damage resulied to the handsome Courthouse. The west, south and north walls were cracked from top to bottom. The inside supporting wall was twisted out o! position and the bricks ana mortar thrown iuto the courtroom. All the interior windows were broken and all the plastering destroyed and chimneys dismantled. The upper story will have to be rebuilt. The estimated damage is $3000. The county jail walls were cracked, win- dows brok n and chimneys destroyed. Four large chimneys on the new school- house were twisted and destroyed. Chap- vell & Brown’s crockery-store, in the O {d Fellows’ build was wrecked. The damage there is $3000. The north wall of the McMahon House was thrown four inches out of position. Twenty feet of the firewail crashed through the roofs of neighboring buildings. The entire walls must be rebuilt’ The firewall on the La- throp building crashed through the roof of Ailanson’s warehouse. The firewall ol the new Hartmann House was badly cracked.

Other windows in this build- ing were broken and plastering destroved, entaiting a loss of $400. The Farmers' and Merchants’ Bank and W. V. Holling- berry lost plate-zlass windows. Chimneys all over town suffered. Superior Judge Dooling was in the econd story of the Courthouss at the ime and was felled by flying bricks and plaster on his way to the street. Al- though struck several times he escaped serious injury. g Walls CRACKED, GILEOX Losses Suffered by Uwners of Business + locks and Dwellings, GILROY, CaL., June 20.—The most se- vere earthquake ever experienced in Gil- roy occurred to-day at 12:15 o'clock.

The altar-boys rushed from tueir places beside the priest and those in the choir loft hurried peilmell into the nar- row, winding choir siairs. Several women fainted and the cries of children added to the terror. When the vibrations ceased quiet was finally restored. otherwise no damage was done to prop- erty. In the Methodist Church, where a large congregaiion was assembled, the earth- quake almost caused a panie, people rushing madly toward the doors, regard- less of everything but their own safety. Many persons were sickened by the sway- ing of the building. Had it not been for the presence of mind of the pastor, Rev. | A. H. Needham, 1n controlling the people until the moment of terror had passed there would have been a fatal erush at the exit. In the other churches great fear was evidenced, but the congregations left the buiidings quiet: R AT Spacd of the Temblor Demenstyated. STOCKTON, Cawn, June 20.—At 12:10 o’clock a slight earthquake shock was felt in Stockton. BSeveral brick buildings felt the jar. While the temblor was causing alarm in San Francisco, Dan Harris was sending a message by telegraph from Stockion, and was interrupted by the op- erator in San Francisco, who told him that the shock was felt there. Harris still had his hand on the instrument when the shock came here, and the operator at San Francisco was still telling him of the earthquake shock in the metropolis, LR Two Shocks at Pleasanton. LEASANTON, Can, June 20.—Two nct earthguake shocks were felt here to-aay at about 12:15 P. M. Most of the people were at lunch, and the first of the temblors was so distinct that it brought them to their feet and to the doors. The second shock, a few minutes T, Was not 30 severe, but the prople wers somewhat alarmed at the disturbance. Pl i SR Minor Damases at Shta Orus, SANTA CRUZ, CaL, June 20.—The earihquake shock shortly afier noon to- day was distinetly felt in all parts of the city. Plastering was knocked from the sion. Two were taken out,while the third was laid out upon theseat. They soon re- covered and were taken home by friends. Rev. Robert Ritchie, rector of St. John’s Episcopal Church, was drawing a terrible picture of the wickedness of the world and how it was going to the bow-wows. He saw one of the most prominent members of his congregation and Oakiand society turn pale and then drop from her seat. Sihe had fainted. Then two of the choir boys succumbed. He then turned pale and suddenly left his pulpit. He was too sick to continue. The Halewood, Captain A. J. Lannen, which is Iying in the creek, rose up out of the mud as if caught by a mighty lift. The capiain stated later that it was the most peculiar experience he ever had. The mud churned around the vessel as though a screw was at work in it. Atthe C .abot Observatory the shock was registered as lasting elght seconds. It was just12 o'clock, 13 minutes and 15 seconds by the c ock when it occurred. Ths shock was from east to west, seemingly going in & circle several times and then a dash to the south. It was exviosive in character, but did not cause such an upheaval as the one on January 16 of this year, which lasted twalve seconds, but did not cause the dis- turbance here that the one to-day did. Different parts of the City felt it with varying intensity. In West Oakland it was hardly noticeable, while in the eastern part of the city everyone could feel it. Four-story brick buildings on San Pablo avenue were badly wrenched, but it is not believed that they will come down. S TEh At Baywards.

PACIFIC GROVE'S EXPERIENCE, Almost Fatal Crush at the Ewxit of the Methodist Chureh. PACIFIC GROVE, Car., June 20.—A severe earthquake shock was felt here about noon to-day, thoroughly terrifying the inhabitants.

Car., June 20.—A slight shock of earthquake was felt here to-day about noon, The oscillations were from east to west and were very light. Many people who were riding, walking or ac- tively engaged did not feel the temblor at all, but it created some alarm in the | churches, and in one house of worship cut the doxology short. i Causes a dcare in Meroed.

THIELE ca OVER 1N OAKLAND, Quite a Commotion Cawsed in Churches by the shocks OAKLAND, Can, June 20. — The heaviest earthquuke-shock felt in this city since 1889 was experienced to-day shortly after noon. Doors banged, win- dows rattled, clocks stopped and aishes went tumbling, while women fainted and strong men turned sick. At the First M. E. Church Rev. Alfred Kummer was preaching on the “‘General Judgment” when the shake was noticed. He had pictured the terrible scene, the ligntning, thunder, falling stones, etc., when ali of a sudden the bouse began to shoke and tremble.

BERKELEY, CAL, June 20.—A heavy shock of earthquake was felt at about noon to-day in Berkeley. The motions were from east to west. Sl pais ] BUILDINGS WERE SHAKEN. No Serious Damage, However, Was Dons in Inis City. A severe earthquake shock shortly after noon yesterday caused a mild scare in many of the churches and big buildings throughout the City. There were two distinet shocks less than an hour apart, one about 12:15 o'clock and the other a few minutes past 1. The great CALL building on Market and Third streets proved the streng h of its construction by perfectly resisting the shock. Ha!f a dozen occupants of the Mills building hastenec for the street when tue shock came. The wiaole build- ing trembled and the long elevator wires rattied like a storm-tossed brig’s cordage. A number of clocks were stopped, but no damage was done. At the Weather Bu- reau, on the tenth floor, two clocks were stopped, one keeping local time, at 12:14 and the other, running on Washin ton time, at 3:14. As there 15 no seismo- graph or seismoscope in the building, or in fact in the City, no accurate record of the local course of the earthquake was ob- tainable. Alexander W. McAdie of the Weather Bureau caught the time of the first and most severe shock as beginning at 12:14:04 and continuinz for twenty seconds. The direction seemed to be from west 10 east. “It was certainly a severe shock,” he continued, “although we bave no instru- ments here for measuring it exactly. The department at Was:ington has a seismo- scope and we have been trying to get one here—or rather to put on the top of Mount Tamalpsis—for if we had one here in this building the delicate mechanism would be set off by the shock of every passing truck.” The trembling of the earth alarmed some of the guestsat the Palace Hotel. The shock was the first earthquake expe- rience for some of the Eastern tourists, and they asked a good many questions of the clerks, The shock caused a feeling similar to seasickness. The guests at the Baidwin, Occidental and Lick felt the quaking distinctly, but aid not run out- doors. Sergeant Mahoney and several officers were down at the Tiburon ferry watching the crowd going on board the boat when the shock came. The sergeant und the ticket agent on the wharf looked at the shaking mass of the new ferry building above them and then looked at each other, neither wishing to be the first to run. The agent was the first 1o realize that discretion was the better part of valor, and he lit out, with the sergeant and officers close upon his heeis. A piece of mortar and stone, weighing ten or fifteen pounds, fell from a corner of the second-stary of the Schiiling buila- ing on Market str2et and struck the side- walk less than fonr feet from where Tom Williams of the Examiner was standing, giving him quite a scare. An amusing incident took place at Bryan’s drugstore under the Grand 1. Al Hoie, who was in the store, had left a box of Seidietz powders stand- ing on the floor. Above on a shelf wasa bottle of alconol. The earthquake tipped { the slcohol over spilling it on the powders and an unearthly sizzling seund was add- ed to the rumbling of the quake. There was a large crowd of people in the Museum at the park when the shock came, and as the giass roof began to creak and rattle they hastened pellmell from the building. Old-timers exchanged earthquake rem- iniscences and some insisted that the shock was as severe asany other since the great shake of 1868. Ex-Congressman W. A. Piper, who felt the irembling, admit- ted that it had some force, but said it was nothing compared to the earthquake of { 1863, The Southern police station, on Folsom street, near Kourth, which has been in a very rickety and dilapidated condition since the Standard Biscuit Company fire several weeks ago, received a bad shaking up, and its occupants made a break for the street when the shock struck the build- ing. The earthquake was not sufficiently powerful to demolish the old structare, which still slightly stronger quake or windstorm. FORTUNE THROUGH A VISION. A Swedish Farmer of Texcs Directed to a Pile of Gold by a Ghostly Female Apparition. S8AN ANTONIO, TEx., June 20.—Orson | N. Jayne, a Swede, has a small farm south of here. A nighbt or two ago he had a vision in his sleen, 8 woman appearing to him with a ghastly wound running diag- onally across from her left shoulder to her right side. The apparition asked him what he was worrying about and he re- plied that bard times and loss of money were making him anxious and fearful of making a living for his family. “If you will begin at the west corner of your field,”” she said, “and count off fifty Tows of cotton and then go to the other end of the last row and step back thirty steps and dig you will find money enough to make you independent.” In the morning ke followed the direc- tions and turned up a furrow at the point indicated, when he found a 50 cent silver coin. Nexiday the woman appeared and told him to dig more to the southwest. Becoming alarmed he left the place ana did nothing more until the next morning, when he unearthed $4000 in gold, all of San Francisco mintage of the fifties. —_— - American Enterprive in Mexico.

Private service held in St. Georges Chapel, Windsor Castle, was attended by the Queen, members of the royal family and a few intimate friends. The Queen’s Indian attendants wheeled her chair into the aisle. where she sat surrounded by her children, who embraced her after the service. Public service was held in the chapel in the afternoon, to which several mem bers of the roval family returned, but the Queen herself was absent. A chorus of 500 voices gave Mendelssohn’s “Hymn of Praise.” Bishop Potter of New York preached to a crowded conaregation at the Windsor Parish Church, saying that he brought greetings from the American Nation. Diplomats, special jubiles envoys and judges in their robes of state attendea a special service at St. Paul’s Cathedral, where Right Rey. Mandell Creighton, Bishop of London, preached. iay and Reid, accompanied by their wives, were driven to the cathedral in two royal car- riages. Hay sat next to the Russian Em- bassador. Special service for members of the House of Lords was neld at Westminster Abbey, ana a similar service for the mem- bers of the House of Commons was held at St. Margarel's Church. Continuous services were held in many churches | througnout the day, and special anthems sung. Services were also held in British em- bassies abroad. President Faure attended the services at raris, and King George of Greece was present at the service in the English Church at Athens. The Sultan sent five envoys to represent him at the service held at the chapel of the British embessy near Constantinople. The streets through which the royal procession will pass on Tuesday have been crowded since dawn, and to-night are practically impassable.
