For instance, the steamer uth Portland had to be taken from t ip Jabe Howes, and two tugs got & ) for that job. The British ship Miltonburn played havoc with section 4 of the seawall. The captain sent for tugs, but they asked him $5000 to anchor the ship in the stream, so he declded to re- main where he was and let the wharf and full force of the ooner Maggie C. ‘bor.

Round about Powell street wharf the ins of the lumber raft was strewn. luck has attended these rafts from the first. One after thé other they broke in two while being towed here, and while some portions reached port in safety oth- ers went to pleces and were lost.

Round at Fishermen’s Cove the place was almost deserted. The fishermen smelt the norther from afar and they took the boats early to a place of safety. The British ship = Bothwell, at Union street, provided a place of = safety for many of them. They got under the wharf to the leeward of the ship, and as she broke both wind and swell the fishing boats lay there throughout the day The Bothwe Wi to have gone out into the stream yesterday, but Cap- tain Bellringer changed his mind and de- cided to remain alongside the wharf. The steamer Walla Walla was also to have moved from Broadway wharf to the sea- wall, but Captain Wallace concluded, after a look at the weather, Rfesent quarters were good enough for m. The steamer Orizaba arrived from southern ports during the morning and docked at Broadway after some trouble. Captain Hall reports that off Point Sur it was blowing a living gale from the norty, but the Orizaba came right along. and made port in safety. The City of Pekln% from China and the City of Pan- ama from Central American ports are both behind time, probably owing to the storm. The State of California went out on her way to Oregon, but she will run along under the lee of the land and will have smooth water nearly all the way up. At Jackson street wharf Charles %\'er- son nearly lost his life. He was on the river steamer Relief and_a gust of wind carried his hat away. While trying to recover it another gust of wind struck him and over he went. He got onto one of the pieces of lumber that came around from the raft, but was rolled over and over and nearly drowned. Finally he got hold of a pile and held on for nearly an hour before he could make himself heard over the raging of the storm. The worst accident of the gale was the drowning of two Italian fishermen. They had been up river in their boat, the Santa Elia, and came down flying before the gale. When off Goat Island they tried to come about and run for Fishermen's wharf, The boat missed stays and the next moment the wind had fllled the big lateen sail and over went the boat. Henry Peterson saw the accident from Folsom street wharf and at once put out to the rescue in the launch Amy. When he reached the overturned fishing smack the men were gone, carried away by the wind and waves, so he took the boat in tow and brought her back to Folsom street wharf. At Fishermen's wharf it was impossible to learn who the drowned men were, and the men when questioned One big sea | that his | such a boat as the Santa Elia or not. Perhaps she was one of the river boats and her crew were coming to San Fran- clsco on a visit. In that event thelir names will not be known until they are | missed on the Sacramento or the San Joaquin. The steamer H. J. Corcoran did not get in from Stockton until late yesterday af- ternoon. Four miles from Stockton she went aground, but got off again and came on. At Antioch the full force of the gale was encountered, and there Captain Mc- Murty tied u? until the storm went down. She arrived here about 5 p. m., and did not leave for Stockton again until mid- night. The steamer South Portland, grain laden from Astoria, and the American ship Jabez Howes, loading at Steuart- street wharf for New York, had a monkey and parrot time of it. The South Port- land was ly.ng alongside the ship dis- charging grain into her when the storm came up. Before she could be moved away by the tugs she had torn over a hundred sheets of copper from the shlp and had done other damage amounting to $1000. The Howes will have to go on the drydock for an overhauling. At the Oregon dock 450 feet of the roof was picked up and turned over like a pancake. The shed is M shaped, and one of the inner portions of the roof was lifted up and lald down gently on the other. The ferry-boat Berkeley is not a good craft for a norther, so yesterday she was taken off the run. The dredger at the mouth of Oakland Creek had a bad time of it, and nearly a mile of piping from it to the flats was broken up and rendered useless. A rock barge at the Angel Island quarry went ashore, but the tug Sea ‘Witch went over and towed it off and to a place of safety under the lee of the island. Round about Main street and the Mail dock_there was very little damage done. The Morgan City chafed considerably and the historic Mary Ellen Galvin broke one of her stern lines and crashed into Little Main street. There was no one in charge of her, so Assistant Wharfinger Scott was compelled to put a keeper on board. Al Waltendurff, a longshoreman work- ing on the steamer Del Norte, met with a serlous accident. He was unloading lum- ber from the vessel, when the wind blew a piece off his shoulder. In its fall the piece of timber struck his leg and broke it in two places. He was treated at the Re- ceiving Hospital. Al R PRANKS OF THE WIND. Forecaster Hammon Says the Gale Was the Worst on Record. Weather Prophet Hammon says that the northeast wind which has been prevail- ing throughout the State since Thursday |at 5 p. m. is the most violent and long continued northeast wind on record. The wind started two days ago in Nevada and developed into a gale pn this coast. His reports show that all the region from Utah west is feeling the storm. In the Sacramento Valley the velocity was thirty miles an hour.” The greatest ve- locity attained by the wind was ninety- six miles an hour at Point Reyes, while on the Mills building’it went to forty- four miles. It averaged sixty miles at Point Reyes. The high pressure in the Rocky Mountain region and the low on the coast is the cause of the wind storm. Hammon thinks the storm will be fol- lowed by heavy rain before Sunday all over the State. It has been raining generally through- out Southern California and snowing in the mountains. It looks as if Southern California will have a %ood soaking. If the wind should cease in California we will have killing frosts all over the State. | ney was blown down and at the mole a part ‘of a shed was blown across the track and deralled a local train, and out at the racetrack at Emeryville the wind blew down the long covered way leading from the station to the fro\lnd. A sec- tion of the iron roof of the Piedmont power house was blown away, and sev- eral small vessels were damaged at the narrow-gauge mole and a few yachts on Lake Merritt. In Oakland harbor not a bit of damage was done, although there are scores of ships either at the wharves, at anchor or on the mud flats. A large tree blew across the Eighth street track and caused the suspension of travel for a short time. Some of the windows in school houses were shattered and at the Lincoln School a large door was blown In. A plece of the roof of the g'e ) 7 N AR I 'WORK OF THE STORM. S L] The wind is the farmer's salvation. No damage in the city has yet been re- ported except to the high™ billboards, which were sent crashing to the side- walks. Old Boreas ripped off great slabs | of dried paste and paper and sent them whirling down the street. Every high fence in the town tottered and jeopard- ized the lives and limbs of estrians every moment in the day. ad not a gang of men been put to work bracing fences and cleaning billboards serious damage would have resuited. Yesterday morning a high fence on Leavenworth street, near Turk, fell with acrashand a man and a woman narrowly | escaped being crushed by it. As it was the man escaped, but the woman was hurt slightly by the flying boards. It was twenty feet high and swayed in the wind s0 much that people avolded it. Another fence near the City Hall was blown down. It also was twenty feet high and ran for two or three hundred feet on two sides of a vacant lot. About sixty feet was blown in the lot. Many peoyle were pass- ! Ing at the time, and had it fallen outward some would surely have been killed. A big slab of dried posters fell from the top of the bullding on the southeast cor- ner of Bush and Kearny streets, smash- ing a street light. No one was hurt, and a gang of workmen was put to work re- moving the rest of the dried paper. Old Boreas was no respecter of and he blew the ladies about at his own sweet will In an alarming manner. Their skirts were tossed and tangled around them and their bonnets were blown into ribbons. ersons, - STORM XING IN OAKLAND. Strews Signs “and Trees Promiscu- ously in His Wake. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Dec. 9. The high wind of last night and this morning caused much minor damage in this county. Sign boards suffered by hun- dreds, a few trees were uprooted and high fences were leveled. At the Home for the Blind a big chim- Asbury M. E. Church was found on Clay street. The waves dashed so high over the Oakland mole that wagon traffic was suspended till nearly noon. A pile that had been washed away was | struck by the steamer Piedmont soon af- ter she left the pier this morning and she had to abandon the trip. The ferry boat dropped anchor and it required near- ly an hour to separate the paddle and the pile. The ventometer at the Chabot observa- tory showed that the wind attained a velocity at times of forty-five miles an ]rz)o;r, while the temperature was very — Damage by the Wind in Alameda. ALAMEDA, Dec. 9.—The north wind of last night and to-day did considerable damage all over the city. The force of men at work on the approaches to the Alice street bridge had to be lald off as it was almost impossible to stand in the face of the gale. The city's electric light plant suffered considerable damage. Sev- eral light masts were blown down and much wiring was damaged. The side ot the boiler-room_ was blown out of plumb and had to be heavily braced to prevent the collapse of the building. Many of the yachts and small craft belonging to the Encinal Yacht Club and the Alameda Boat Club broke away from their moor- ings and went cruising on their own ac- count. Most of the boats were secured before any serious damage was done. ALAMEDA, Dec. 9. — Pierre_Bareflles, vice-president of the Alameda Steam Laundry Association, was struck on the head by nayioce of smokestack this morn- ing and painfully injured. The wind had loosened the guy wires of the big iron smokestack at the laundry and Mr. Ba- reilles went out of the building to repair the damage. Just as he passed out of the door a section of the stack, weighing sev- eral hundred pounds, was blown over and striking the roof rolled down upon Bareil- les. He was hit on the right side of the head, just back of the ear, and sustalned an ugly scalp wound.

It Is contended, and this contention in a great measure accounts for the denial, that a decision compelling it to pay for a stamp for each and every package for- warded by it would mean a loss to the company of $510 a day or $160,000 a year at the lowest estimate. If this burden were imposed upon the company it would be a gross _injustice, the company holds, and, therefore, on constitutional and equita- ble grounds it prays that the writ of man- date sought by the Attorney General be denled. —_——— CUPID BRHIND THE SCENES. Dons Sock and Buskin and Plays Havoc in “The Gayest Man- harttan.” Matrimony has become epidemic in the ranks of the Gayest Manhattan Compa- ny. The third wedding in three weeks was recorded Wednesday, when Horace G. Thrum and Miss Alicia Hallowell were married in the drawing-rooms of the Hotel Langham by the Rev. Dr. Mac- kenzie of the First Presbyterian Church, The event was essentially a theatrical affair. The guests were from the profes- sion, and the best man, James A. Kier- nan, is leading comedian of the company. Miss Minnie Packard, the bridesmaid, is also a star of the Gay Manhattan galaxy. The first of the company to marry wa: the leading man and the leading lady, John E. Farley and Jean Mcllmoyfi', The event took place in Denver. The second occurred here a week or so ago, when Edward Lane and Mme. Cameron were mated. There are a number of other marriages scheduled before the return of the com- pany to New York City. The bride-elect of yesterday is well known both to members of the profession and the general public throughont the en- tire country. It will be remembered with leasure that she played one of the lead- ng roles in Dixey's ‘“‘Adonis” when the comedian was lourin% the coast some five or six years ago. Since then she has been to this city frequently with various companies, and her advent here with the Gay Manhattan Company has lent a cer- tain prestige to the show which has come as a consequence of her popularity and her abllity as an actress. Aside from the distinguished position she holds as an ac- tress she maintains a_leading position in the realm of society. She comes from one of the oldest and most influential families in_Philadelphia. The groom is a son of the late John F. Thrum, proprietor of the Music and Drama, a weekly paper of considerable influence in this city. Immediately after the ceremony the wedding breakfast was served in one of the private dining-rooms of the hotel, be- ing participated in by the young couple and a few intimate friends in the theat- rical profession. Many beautiful and costly presents and floral donations were presented by mem- bers of the Manhattan troupe. Congratu- lations were extended by Jack Hartley, groprlemr and manager of the show, and ) y many of the leading men in the other heatrical attractions now playing in the city. ’l}he festivities of the afternoon were concluded with a gay repast in the apart- ments of the groom immediately after the performance last evening at the Co- lumbia, | AN Wiyt W it i A : A NORTHER ON THE BAY. There was a heavier sea on the bay yesterday than has been seen in years. Time and again big waves broke clean over the shipping at the wharves and many a man who was wailching the working of the vessels got a ducking. The schooner Falcon came in from Grays Harbor with all her working canvas set, and both she and the pilot boat Lady Mine had a narrow escape from the Presidio shoal buoy. Pilots McCulloch, Erskine and Jordan wanted to go to se on the Gracie 8, but could get no one to take them out in a Whitehall to the pilot boat, so they had to hire a tug. OBJECTIONABLE FRUIT. Local Merchants Want Zante Cur- rants Kept Out of the Country. The Merchants’ Association of this city has taken up the matter of the proposed treaty with Greece, or at least that part of the subject that relates to the removal of the tariff on Zante currants.

Perkins and the other Pacific Coast representatives in Congress the following telegram: alifornia is intensely interested in eustain- ekt Tt S Sy Al sco, W! :flm of raisin records its earnest protest against the treaty suggested by Presi- dent McKinley affecting the present duty on Zante curranix These are not exclusively a Greek product.

DEPARTURE OF ARTIST HARRISON HE GAINED SOCIAL HONORS, BUT SOLD FEW PICTURES. A Art Association and Bohemian Club Recognized His Genius by Pur- chasing His Paintings. Alexander Harrison, an artist of celeb- rity, left San Francisco Thursday evening for Paris. e goes via Chicago and New York, and will tarry, for a short time in the city by Lake chigan. Mr. Harri- son’s sojourn in California afforded the local painters both pleasure and instruc- tion, and they regret his departure and also regret that the millionaire picture collectors of this city did not view the artist’'s work with as much favor as it deserved. The reception tendered to the eminent painter at the Mark Hopkins Institute of Art was a social triumph for Mr. Harri- son, but the exhibition of his paintings at -the Institute did not enlist widespread at- tention or allure any one to purchase a plcture. The artist sold only two notabla paintings in San Francisco. The Bohemlan Club bought one and the Art Assoclation the other. The sum of $2000 will represent the amount of cash received by Mr. Har- rison for both canvases. Mr. Harrison did not betray any sign of disappointment or displeasure because his pictures were not sought by the rich pa- trons of art in this city. He had a good time in California and derived much leasure from his sojourn on the shore of onterey Bay. The local artists, how- ever, are vexed to think that Mr. Harri- son’'s worth as a painter did not receive more substantial recognition than that accorded by the elite of soclety. ADVERTISEMIENTS.
