Large Amount of Damage and Terroried a Great Many People. 7? T HAS CLEARED UP FOR AWHILE, at least, thank God. “The storm has been one of the very worst ever éxperienced in this part of the State, and the same can be said of the elements not only on the Pacific Coast, but throughout the United States. No section has had a monopoly of the fearful storms or have been slighted, for in every quarter north, south, east and west it has been tem— pestuous and rough, resulting in great destruction to life and property. At this time we are able to see visible effects ot the storm and chronicle the same, but when telegraphic and telephone communication is restored to the various points througheut the country it is probable that the damage ‘to property in some sections will be found to be appalling. In this section the storm was at its height early Sunday morning, when we were visited with a terrible hurricane which lasted for some time. While it raged for an hour or wo, to many it seemed a year or more in duration, and if it had continued God Almighty would only have known of the fearful results. The people were so much alarmed that they hardly knew what to do, fearing at almost any moment that their homes would be wrecked and that they would be buried in the debris. In many places throughout town, where the houses were more exposed to the fury of the wind and were shaken like leaves, the women and children were huddled -together in frantic terror, expecting every minute to be their last. Sleep was out of the question, and many a person could not find repose in sleep for several hours afterward on account of the nervous shock which they suffered. It was truly a fearful night and the thrilling experiences of people would fill a large .volume. The damage doue in various parts of the State is something enormous, and it will take several days before the full details and entire loss can be procured, Buildings, fences and trees have been blown down or carried away, railroad tracks are inundated or washed away all through the lowlands and traffic is about at a standstill all over California. The valley lands have suffered greatly and in many cases the farmers have had their ranches completely inundated and their crops destroyed, while their fruit orchards have been literally blown to pieces. In our own section where we are protected to a great degree by -the high mountain peaks, the wind-storm was bad enough, but through the Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys where the tornado had a clean sweep for miles, the damage must have been something enormous and we should not be surprised to learn of a great number of fatalities. When this morning came with a cloudless sky and the sun rose in all its brilliancy, many a heart beat with true happiness. and gratitude to feel and realize that the worst was over. Not so much for the pedple here, however, was there so much alarm felt as for those who live in the valleys and lowlands of, the State where the waters suround them, and-towhom the future looks black. _Thousands of people doubtless are on the border of desperation and are sick and discouraged at heart over their present gloomy outlook, which, only a few days ago, was exceedingly bright and promising. It is indeed a great calamity to the many farmers in the lower country, and one that it will take cover from. At 12 o'clock today the Assessors of the various counties of the State commence their work of assessing property for the present fiscal year, but the Assessors in the valley sections will find that the value of the assessment rolls has decreased immensely as a result_of the late and terrific storm. Without doubt, it was the fiercest and most destructive windthat the State has ever experienced. Ab Guey, the Chinese vegetable) merchant, wbo has been quite sick for: sometime past, is mow very low and it is not. exected that he will live more than a few days, He is suffering from blood poisoning. ee years to reseca eaten Discharged Today.

Call on Phil. Byrne and he will tell you all about this great horse.. m3 3t The next time you call for a drink try Gilt Edge whiskey, becanse it is All Kinds of Property Damaged Last Saturday Night. The great wind storm that visited this section last Saturday night left a trail of wreekage that will foot up considerable in the way of an aggregate loss. All kinds ef property was damaged more or less, Never in the history ef this section of the country has such a terrific wind prevailed. As it raged and increased in its fury it struck terror to the hearts of many. Fortunately, no one was injured, and we can reconcile ourselves with the fact that we fared no woree than other places. Below we. give-a-number of items concerning the damage in this locality: The reof over the Grotto saloon on lower Main street was lifted by a gust of wind and landed on the adjoining building. Had the roof been ‘blown into the street some passer-by would prébably have been: killed. The interior was not damaged in the least, anda force of workmen started to repair the building yesterday morning. Out at Wet Hill an old dwelling oc cupied by James Kelly was partially blown down. Mr. Kelly decided to get out of the place when the wind was high. It was a lucky move for him, as the collapse of a portiom of the house soon followed. A eircuit breaker got out of order on tbe electric railroad, and _ traffie was stopped before ten o’clock. Shortly after nine o’clock the electric lights went out, and several telephone wires were also broken. A cedartree fully 60 feet high fell ona barn at James Grose’s place, near the. County Hospital. Had the tree fallen in the opposite direction it would have crasbed into the dwelling house. This was @ very narrow escape, wherein loss of life might have followed. At Alex. Durbin’s residence on Aristccracy Hill the entire porch was blown down. The damage tothe dwelling house on W. G. Richards’ ranch, beyond Indian Flat, was considerable. The structure, which is a new one, was moved two feet from its foundation, Mr. Taylor, who has charge of the place, vacated it-ia short order, being compelled to spend the night outdoors. He took his blankets with him and “bunked it” as best he could: ‘The large gates near the house were hurled from their hinges and portions of the fence blown down. Shade and fruit trees around town were up-rooted by the score. At the school grounds three large trees were overturned. The fence back of the Washington Schoolhouse was also blown down. In the yard at the old office building at Allan’s Foundry two trees gave way tothe big storm. One of them fell against the porch and knocked it to pieces. A tree in front of Rev. J. Sims’ residence and one near Mrs. John Hamilton’s place were also.blown down. On Grove street several fences were blewn down, among them the ones on the properties . belonging to Ed. Tompkins and’ Joseph Eustis. The southeast corner of the roof en Mrs, Jacob Naffzlger’s house on the same street, was torn from the building. At C. Beichtol’s' residence the fence was also damaged. At Mark Roberts’ home on Alexander street the chimney toppled-over on the roof, Several of the flues all over town were injured more or less The Suspension bridge got a good rocking, end people who usually go that way touk the-leong turu around. Among the signs that were torn from their -fastenigs, L. Hyman & Compavy’s and William Giffin’s were noted by the TRANSORIPT reporter. ‘ At W. H._Crawford’s residence a large shade tree was up-rocted, and another in frontof Thomas Hughes place on upper Pine street went down with @ crasb. The wagon shed at W. H. Smith’s home was ‘partially demolished, and the top of the delivery wagon was broken. A barn at Mrs, E. Herriu’s ranch = = , — — a —lin-the-IndianFlst-vtoluity-was badly. —oa n.

Bernardy’s place near the Catholic chureb, at Sheriff Getchell’s home, at Judge Walling’s place, two in front of Sam Gilbam’s home on Pine street, in front of Mrs. Alice Locklin’s residence, two at the foot of Sugar Loaf grade, two across the South Yuba water ditch near H. D. Towle’s place, two on the road to the Champion mine. Hill-portions of the fence were blown down. ‘ railroad trees and fences were uplifted. At Glenbrook Park several gaps were made in the big board fence, Saturday night Compaay © did not give its usual weekly social dance at Armory Hall. small as but few ventured ont, -Grass Valley, the Marshall family who Out at John Stevens’ place at Cement Along the line of the Narrow Gauge On account of the ferrible storm The attendance was Those who were present from Grass Valley were in a bad way as the electric car was unable to run on account.of the “juice*® being shut off and they. were compelled to stay here for the five o’clock train Sunday morning. Down at the Bourne ranch in Pleasant Valley a large barn was considerably demolished, and fences there were likewise injured. At the Schwatz ranch another barn and quite a stretch of fencing went down. Oonsiderable damage was down to fruit trees in that section. At the old Houston ranch, on the North Bloomfield road, thirteen fruit trees were blown down and destroyed and a baron and wood shed received the same fate. A large namber of large pire treesin that vicinity were blown down and scme of them fell across the road, . At the old Nichols ranch, below reside there had a miraculous escape from death. A big tree was blown across the roof of the house which cut the dwelling completely in two and demolished it, Mr. Marsball and his daughter,who were sleeping, were buried in the debris and it took the neighbors all of two hours to rescue them frem their dangerous predicament. Another member of the family who was standing in the doorway, miraculously escaped uninjured, although the door was smashed into splitters. Bereavement and Business, The following curious advertisement is taken from a Spanish journal: “This morning our Saviour summoned away the jeweler, Siebald Illmaga, from his shop to another and better world. The undersigned, his widow, will weep upon his tomb, as will also his two daughters, Hild and Emma, the former of whom is married, and the latter is open to an offer. The funeral will take place tomorrow. His disconsolate widow, Veronique Illmaga. P. S.—This_ bereavement will not interrupt our employment, which will be carried on as usual, only our place of business will be removed from 3 Lessi-de Leinturiers to 4 Rue de Missionaire, as our grasping; landlord has raised the rent.”—St. James Gazette. How the Peach Was Produced. That the iuscious peach has been derived from the hard shelled almond can no longer be successfully denied. It is said that the peach in its original soil was a virulent poison and that the Persian warriors brought to Persia some of the seeds and planted them for the purpose of poisoning the points of their arrows so as to render wounds caused by them to be fatal, but a change of climate and soil produced -afruit which is not only luscious, but is esteemed exceedingly healthful.
