Because of this dangerous condition of affalrs in this elty and Santa Clara It becume necessary to turn. off the electric lights, and these places were in darkness. In this city trees were blown down, lawns wreeked and bulldings and fences damaged, The blg electrie tower was swaying backward and forward, and for some minutes during the heaviest part of the storm there was some fear that It might fall. In the last storm two of the Iron braces were broken, but from observation it seems to have with- stood last night's storm without any dam- age. [ St. James Park this morning lookéd like a wrecked forest. Seven or elght large trees had been blown down and limbs had been broken off of others. All over town treés were uprooted and high fences knocked down. A one-story frame bufld- ing on El Dorado street, near San Pedro, belonging to P. de Balsset and occupled by the Olmstead carriage paintshop, was wrecked. . The front of the bullding was blown out and fell on the sidewalk. The end of the packing-house belonging to the Borosis Frult Company, at Wes Bide, was blown out. It was lifted bodlly from its place and carried many [eet and aropped down In a road. “The demage will be from $1000 to $1500.

The water in’the has ever been known before, and as a re. dated. This s one of the richest and bes. farming tracts of Sutter County and thousands of acres of growing graln are now under water. Reports from the Ride out farm show that the levees surround ing that land are stil intact, but the continual encromchments of water on the embankments are dangerous and many men are employed watching day add night the dykes that protect the great livestock and hop farm of N.
