Damage in various portions of the State caused by freshets and washouts was re- | | ported, but as the violence of the storm | Was not augmented by high wind the | losses of those who suffered from the | over-generosity of Jupiter Pluvius will | not amount to much. | According to the report sent out from | the Weather Bureau the greatest rain- fall at the station from 6:22 until | 6. In the afternoon was .19 of an| Inch, which breaks the coast record. | The previous record was established on | February 22, 191, when the downpour for | an equal perfod of time was .16 of an | | ineh. In the eastern mountains In California and in the State of Nevada the heaviest snowfall of the season was experienced.

The near- est approach to snow here was a shower of hafl for a“few minutes in the after- noon. About half-past 5 o'clock in the afternoon, when the sewers were almost overflooded and the street resembled shallow rivers, a cloudburst occurred. The downpour lasted for less than ten minutes, but at the end of that time the streets and sidewalks in many parts of | the city were streaming with water. | Basements were flooded and storekeepers | along Market street were unable to keep | the tide from flowing into their stores and damaging their goods. In some on Market sfreet the employes | a blocks had to stand on boxes in order to keep | from being drenched. The street-car ser- vice on several lines was interrupted. | The Emporium is probably one of the heaviest losers because of the storm. The ter flowed Into the basement and dam. 1 Japanese goods to the extent of & hundred ydollars. While the storm . at its helght the Interior of Dunn cafe on Market street presented pearance of a miniature lake. The floors both of the saloon and the cafe were covered with several inches of wa- ter. The stores on both sides of Dunn Bros.’ establishment were in & similar condition. | The water flowed In torrents down Jones and McAllister streets, and being unable to escape into the manhole at the junction of McAllister and Market streets | flowed up Market. When the stream which was now swelled to the size of a small river reached Dunn Bros.’ It en- | | countered the torrents rolling down Mar- | ket. ' The water walled up and flowed |into Dunn Bros' and.the neighboring | stores. The basement of the Callahan | building was flooded, as was also the | | basement of the Donohoe bulflding. On the ‘ sidewalks In the vicinity of the Callahan | | &nd Donohoe buflding after the storm had | subsided there was an accumulation of | several inches of sloppy €and, which | greatly inconvenienced pedestrians. In the Mission a large number of base- ments were flooded, Mission street from | Fourteenth to Eighteenth street was cov | ered with almost a foot of water. Car | service along Mission street was inter- rupted for a time. In the vicinity of Six- teenth and Misslon streets the water | reached its greatest depth of about two | feet. Citizens living in that vicinity were compelled to take off their shoes and | stockings and roll up their trousers in | | order to reach their ‘homes.

It was the largest house of the three recitals, for_the gifted young Russian is steadily growing in favor here, | and the announcement that there will be an additional concert to-night will doubt- less give much pleasure to Mr. Gabrilo- witsch’'s many admirers. Yesterday afternoon’'s programme be- gan with the wonderful Brahms Varia- tions and Fugue on a theme by Handel, ; handsomely interpreted and handled by the pianist. Again the ample intelligence, fine taste and big technique of the mu- sician were demonstrated, and it is diffi- cult to imagine some of the variations being better done by any one. But it was in the Beethoven sonata (Op. 110, A flat major) that the finer quality of Gabrilo- witsch was felt. ‘He is a delightful Beeth- oven player, particularly in the quieter movements. Classically pure and charm- ingly poetic was his treatment of the lovely little aria_with its preceding spir- ituelle humor. e first movement was equally admirable, and the handling of the figure showed at its best the logical charm of Gabrilowitsch’s genius. The ap- plause was tempestuous after the move- ment. The rest of the programme in- cluded: Gavotte B minor, Bach-Saint Saens; Chant Polonaise, Chopin-Lisst; B_ minor, Chopin- Scherzo; Toccata D minor, Leschetizky; Hu- moresque, Dvorak; Hungarian Rhapsody No. 8, Liszt, Following is the programme for to- night's concert: Sonata op. 28 D major (Pastoral), Beethoven; Nocturne D major, Valse E minor, ballad A flat major (Chopin); Cappriclo (Burlesque), Gabrilowitsch; Barcarole G minor, Rubinstein; “If 1 Were a Bird,” Henselt; Marche Mili- taire, Schubert-Tausig (by request). The box office of the Alhambra Theater will be open all day to-day. Fuel Famine Danger Is Over. READING, Pa., Feb. 7.—The officlals of the Reading Rallroad announced to-night that they have the coal situation so well in hand that all danger from a further fuel famine for this winter is over. The tewns along the branch roads are now be- ing supplied, and the company expects shortly to begin larger tern ship- ments. PLANTS BIG GUNS | AT POINT BONITA WarDepartment Is Rap- idly Installing Heavy Batteries. The extensive operations at Point Bo- nita under the supervision of the War De- partment are being conducted with great vigor, subject only to the detention caused by inclement weather. The twelve- inch rifle to be mounted on Battery Men- dell has arrived, but will not be taken over until the danger from the storm has | passed. Last week the carriage of the gun was dumped Into the bay at the Gov- | ernment wharf owing to the barge upon which it was transported being capsized. | Fortunately the water was shallow at this point and the various parts were re- covered without loss. The twd batteries Mendell, upon which the twelve-inch guns are to be mounted, and Batteéry Alexander, where the big mortars are to be planted, are ready for their armament. The twelve-inch guns will defend the north channel, but the mortars will command a much wider cir- | cumference. About 100 laborers are en- gaged In the work of equipping the sta- tion, which will be one of the posts in the vicinity garrisoned by a permanent force. The Lighthouse Department, under Colonel Hanbury, is now making impor- tant changes at Point Bonita.

The character of the siren will not be changed, but will continue to emit a sound of five seconds in length at inter- vals of thirty-five seconds. Oil is to be installed in addition to steam. The supply of oil is to be obtained from a tank placed upon the hill just back of the life-saving station. There will be no iInterruption of the action of the siren, which will be ready for work in a few days. The posi- tion of the siren has been changed in def- erence to the general request of the ma- rine interests. The sound will now be heard in the north channel as well as on every other side.
