Under the sheds it was impossible to move about, as the dense black smoke made it as dark as midnight. After two hours’ hard work, however, the fire was drowned out and the danger averted Chief Wharfinger Percy Henderson and Colonel Tom Burgoyne were early on the scene. They drove in under the sheds to ascertain the progress that was being made in subduing the fire and got lost in the smoke. When the horse finally found its way out through the gateway on sec- tion 1 both men were nearly dead from suffocation ptain Phil Brown, super- intendent of the State tugs and dredg was also early on the scene and did valu- | able service In directing the operations of the fireboats Markham and Irwin. It was very fortunate that there was so little grain on section 1. At the be- ginning of last week the place was piled high with wheat and barley. Chief Wharf- inger Henderson ordered it all removed, however, and there were only a few thou- sand sacks left when the fire broke out. Nearly all the damaged grain belongs to George W. McNear, Splivalo & Co. and Eppinger & Co. At section 2 of the seawall the big tramp steamer Algoa is moored. A lot of her cargo now under the sheds Is com- posed of Chinese nut oil, gunnies and piteh. Had the flames igmilted that, noth- ng could have saved the immense’ struc- ture, Broadway whart 2 also had a narrow escape during Sunday morning. An elec- tric light wire set the building on fire, but after about fifteen minutes’ work the watchman and one of the crew of the steamer Pomona succeeded In putting the The Harbor Commissioners the tables > 80 50 common as observation or com- s an object les- hing these hearty old il observe that crackers nor through a a properly turned the deadly brolled gether ignored all this is that & vigorous 3 n good digestion and @ and not upon live upon certain class of food cranks at meat, coffee and s are rank pofsons, | us, sickly looking in- lking condemnation of + nutshell 1s that 1f the the natural digestive 3 y any whole- digested; if 0, and certain 1e or two of Stuart's after each meal will 7, because they supply weak omaech lacks, hloric acid, dlastase and a Table and in ts do not act fact are not y act almost en- digesting it “ much needed petite for the next le who travel nine out of ten s Dyspepsia Tablets, knowing tly safe to use at any found out NE of the very swellest things O that ever happened in local ton- sorial circles was the ball given last night at Native Sons’ Hall by the Barbers’ Protective Union of San Francisco. Every leading hair- clipper and shaver in the town was there with his best girl, and if they all did not have the greatest time of their lives they had a mighty close shave from reaching that realm of the ideal. In perfect harmony with the occasion the ladies wore their dresses cut pompadour, while the gents were attired in lather-colored shirts and suits. The affalr was in celebration of the twenty-second anniversary of the union, and no effort was spared to make it surpass In every detall any on the floor. The decorations of the hall were a striking feature of the affair. Streamers of blue, white and pink material, bespangled with multi- colored stars, were arranged In grace- ful festoons around the gallery. The stage was transformed into a dream of loveliness by the liberal use of cut flowers and evergreens. Dancing commenced promptly at $:30 o'clock and lasted Into the small hours of the morning, when the floor became sticky with the pomade that had melted and dripped from the bar- bers’ bangs. A, L. Hartman was floor manager. He was ably assisted by I Abraham and the floor committee, composed of the following: F. Abraham, J. Klitsch, J.

P00 ROOCROLSESS 90QQ.QQ’.'QQtt!.’.!fi!!&&&&t.’.&&_‘_'QOQQ'Q!QO *1 of BADLY BURNED BY USING OIL IN A FURNACE Carelessness Results in an Accident. A. Larsen, an employe of the Risdon Iron Works, was the victim of a peculiar accident yesterday, which came near cost- ing him his life. As it was he suffered severe and painful Injuries, the marks of which he will always carry with him as a reminder that in dealing successfully with fire, caution is an essential factor. In the furnaces of tne department where Larsen works oil is frequently used in making a fire. When this ignitable ma- terial is employed the common practice is to open the dampers so as to permit a free draught and let the darting flames pass harmlessly up the chimney. It was a neglect of this precaution that almost cost the workman his life. As the match was applied the flames, in- stead of passing up the chimney, shot out of the furnace door in a solid sheet and enveloped the careless employe before he could jump ba ut of danger. The force was such that I hat was blown to the opposite side of the room and his coat and vest were badly singed. 2 arsen was severely burned on the face, neck and hands and suffered intense pain | on account of a partial inhalation of the flames. He was treated at the Harbor Hospital by Dr. Davis, who informed his patient that he had had a very narrow escape. —_— e BERKELEY WAS BALKY. Passengers on the Ferry Boat Had an Extra Long Trip. Thanks to the Inability of the captain the ferry-boat Berkeley to bring the clumsy bay steamer into its slip on the 7:45 p. m. trip last evening, the passengers | the Oregon express and the crowded ains enjoyed a half-hour's wait inst piles in front of the ferry lding, while the propeller of this mod- rn craft of the Southern Pacific churned the waters of the bay In impotent efforts to_effect a landing. The bell to stop the engines was rung when the boat was at considerable dis- tance from the head of the pier, and, caught by the strong tide the Berkeley swung round broadside to the plles, drift- ing toward the Missic treet wharf. The crowds of passengers, congratulatin themselves that a bright moonlight woul afford them some opportunity to save themselves, watched with considerable in- terest the efforts of the captain to swing the Berkel so she could enter the slip, by butting the head of the ferry- of To boat against the piles and then turning full steam. After a dozen fruitiess ef- on in which it seemed that the pro- forts, peller would shake the craft to pleces, the | captain was_able to bring his boat into the slip and to get the tired and dis- gusted passengers ashore, fully twenty- five minutes late, and after spending about an hour in crossing the bay. PREPARING FOR DRILLS. Changes in the Assignments of Offi- | cers at the Presidio. Drills have been at somewhat of a dis- count at the Presidio during the coming | and going of the volunteers, but now that | affairs have quieted down they will be | taken up again. As a preliminary the of- ficers on special duty are being relfeved and their duties are being distributed among the post staff. Orders were issued yesterday relieving First Lieutenant Rogers Gardner, Third Artillery, as post treasurer and signal officer, and assigning the dutfes of both positions to First Lieutenant Le Roy Ettinge, Sixth Cavalry post adjutant. Second 'Lieutenant H. 'C. Evans, Third | Artillery, was relfeved as_police ‘officer, | and the duties of police officer will here- after be jooked out for by the officer of the day, who is also officer of the guard. The question of clearing the camps wili be settled soon by the report,of Inspector General Maus, who is now irspecting the Presidio. He will Inspect the camps and will probably recommend the condemna- tion of all tents and camp property unfit for storage. The remainder will be stored. —_——————— We are again out of pyrography outfits, but will have another shipment in by Wednesday next. skins, leather and wooden articles for burning and new panels to paint on in our Artists’ Material Department.
