It has been the custom for many years to speed the parting year and to welcome the incoming at the exchange. The grain brokers have been the leaders, generally, in the fun, which is fast and furious. The character of the outbreak yesterday that marked the departure of the busi- ness year of 1805 was no exception. There frantic shouts of glee, and the air filled quite completely with flying of wheat, barley and other sample s were made into missiles, and the younger members on 'Change had a busy time dodging and repaying compli- in kind. Nearly an hour the fun afoot. Grain trays were hurled and © tables upon which they had reposed were thrown about. The climax was reached when a large jar of asafoctida was capsized on the floor of the Ex- nge. The odor of this drug was the loudest” feature of the sport. The floor committee had made some rules in advance to limit the roughness | of the demonstration, but if any one ob- ved these rules the observance was t noticeable. Finally, when the brok- ers and others were tired with their ex- ertions, th seemed to be agreement that the celebration of the out- going of 1905 and the incoming of 196 had | recei due and full recognition and | peace followed | ————— Cineinn: Bre Compromise.

The show- ers had not reached Southern California people of the citrus belt will get all the moisture they need to-day. Snow fell heavily in the high Sierras. The winds were strong off shore and in the Sacra- | mento Valley. The velocity attained at | Point Reyes and At the Farallones ex- ceeded fifty miles an hour at times. The | sea was exceedingly rough, but as the Weather Bureau had its storm signals up at 8 o'clock yesterday morning, it is | thought the mariners had plenty of time | to_escape all danger. The heaviest rainfall was reported from | Red Bluff, where half an inch of rain | descended upor: the town in a few hours. |In San Francisco the precipitation was -82 of an inch. Between 1:30 and 2 o’'clock | the flcodgates opened and the city was | deluged. During five minutes of that time 107 of an inch of rain fell.

She was found by three small boys early yesterday morning, lylng in the mud at Chestnut and Montgomery streets. She was removed to the Har- bor Hospital and there told a thrilling yarn about having been hurled from the porch of a house on the top of Telegraph Hill, of a frantic slide down the almost perpendicular cliff and of a long night of exposure, during which she lay helpless in the rain and called vainly for assistance. The woman's injuries did not bear out her story of a fall from the top of the precipice, and, although the po- lice made a thorough Investigation they found no reason for belleving that she was thrown from any porch or that she even called at any house in the vicinity of the cliff at the foot of which she was found. Her hus- band, who had been searching all night for his wife, was at the Har- bor Hospital shortly afier she reached there. He says she has been suffering from insomnia and that her mind has not been normal for some months. He- thinks she tried to climb the cliff, slipped before she had gone very far and fell to the ground. The surgeons at the hospital found that Mrs. Danfels had sustained a slight contusion of the back, an abra- sion of the left thigh and a slight laceration of the scalp. More serious than any of the injuries were the ef- fects of the all-night's exposure. She was removed to the Central Emer- gency Hospital, where she will be held for further observation. ‘ O’Connor, Moffatt & Co. . First Annual Reduction Sale g ..In Our...
