William the Inventor
William was born Bowling Bradford,
Yorks Eng 1/13/1848
or 1846 or 1847 and probably educated
in England. The family played some musical chairs moving
back and forth between England and the US with some members staying
with other family members at times.
At some time between 1861 (census - still
in England age 14) 1866 (age 18) he
moved to America. He married Mary Ann Holmes in Shelton, Connecticut.
However a patent in 7/27/1886 shows
him residing at Armley, Leeds. Check if applied or granted date.
My speculation is that he had some connection to the Holmes family
before he came to the U.S. William Holmes, Mary Ann's father, was
involved with mills prior to his immigration to Connecticut in 1854
(see letters) Holmes appears to be an old name in Yorkshire.
Not in Eng census in 1871
and/or married 6/22/1871(Lucy
Holmes)
On 12/25/1872 his wife Mary Ann dies soon after childbirth ( Mary
Ann Webster). According to Molly second marriage was in San Francisco)
By at least by 1874 he was in San Francisco

been on the west side of 5th Street between market and ??1880 census

Cemeteries
The cemeteries are west of the best residences, but agitation
has already commenced looking to an end of interments within city
limits.
Lone Mountain, an isolated mound within the Roman Catholic Cemetery
and surmounted by a large cross, lately blown down, has long been
a noted landmark and gives its name to the region adjoining, which
is devoted to burying grounds.

souvenirs from columbian exposition
WORLD'S COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION, CHICAGO, 1893
The World's Columbian Exposition, held in Chicago in 1893, was the
last and the greatest of the nineteenth century's World's Fairs.
Nominally a celebration of Columbus' voyages 400 years prior, the
Exposition was in actuality a reflection and celebration of American
culture and society--for fun, edification, and profit--and a blueprint
for life in modern and postmodern America.

UK Census
The Industrial Revolution set Leeds off at a gallop. The population
grew to over 150,000 by 1840 and the place was transformed. Not
only was it a centre of marketing and manufacture, it was also the
centre of a network of communications, especially by water. In 1699
the Aire and the Calder rivers were made navigable, linking Leeds
with the Ouse, Humber and the sea. In 1816 the great Leeds to Liverpool
canal, a coast to coast link passing through Leeds, was completed.
In such a situation, Leeds was ideally situated for the development
of an engineering industry - making machinery for spinning, machine
tools, steam engines and gears as well as other industries based
on textiles, chemicals and leather and pottery. Coal was extracted
on a large scale and the still functioning Middleton Railway, the
first commercial railway in the world, transported coal into the
centre of Leeds.
1891
9 Laurel Grove Armley Leeds
Armley is an area in the west of the city of Leeds, West Yorkshire,
England. It starts less than a mile from Leeds City Centre. (Armley
- Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.htm)
Armley is a predominantly and historically working class area,
including many rows of back-to-back terrace houses. It is traditionally
a strong Labour area, although current Labour policies, voter apathy
and the creeping gentrification from Headingley (via Burley) is
beginning to erode the landslide-style victories of yesteryear.
From the 1870s until 1956, Armley was home to the J W Roberts asbestos
mattress and boiler lining factory. This facility exposed local
residents to fibres of asbestos and resulted in a mesothelioma cancer
cluster in the area which persists to this day. One of the victims
of the disease, June Hancock launched a court action in 1993 against
the company that owned the J W Roberts' factory. Although the court
case was successful, corporate restructuring has avoided the case
being settled to this day.
Celebrities from Armley include author Barbara Taylor Bradford,
playwright Alan Bennett and anarchist rock band Chumbawamba, who
for some time lived in a communal household in the district. The
tank scene in the 1963 movie Billy Liar was filmed in Wellington
Road, Armley, and local residents were used as extras. More historically,
many of Yorkshire's great textile giants, such as Benjamin Gott,
were born, lived, died and/or were buried in Armley.
The name "Leeds" came from "Loidis" (Bede states:
"...regione quae vocatur Loidis" region known as Loidis),
a word of Celtic origin, also surviving in the nearby place names
of Ledston and Ledsham. Leeds has been known since being mentioned
(as "Ledes") in the Domesday Book of 1086, (the name evolved
into "Leedes" and finally "Leeds"). Leeds was
an agricultural market town in the Middle Ages, and received its
first charter in 1207
At one point nearly half of England's total exports passed through
Leeds
Thus as far back as 725 A.D. the term for woven fabric was "web"
and by the time surnames were evolving, a man who wove cloth was
called a "webba" and a woman was designated as a "webbe".
These expressions were later to disappear from current usage and
survive only in the names "Webb" and "Webbe"
and (possibly) "Webber". One of the earliest records is
to "Alger le Webba" of Chester (1099) and the feminine
variant is evidenced in "Alice la Webbe" of Essex (1337).
It is this presence of masculine and feminine designations which
creates a special interest in "Webster". This surname
is well represented in the Midlands and the Southeast. Here it should
be mentioned that the explanations which follow are greatly simplified
and much fascinating detail has been omitted. But, to start with:
the forms "Webba" and "Webbe" belonged to Old
English which was spoken more or less between 450 to 1200 A.D. This
language was then followed by "Middle English" (1200-1500)
during which time our language underwent an overwhelming transformation.
Among many improvements all the complicated rules as to the gender
of nouns, such as still persist in French were discarded and every
noun was simply "the" or "a' with none of the tiresome
rules concerning the agreement of adjectives! Of course the changes
were not at first observed uniformly across the country - that took
time! In the case of naming occupations, most areas did nothing
more than tag on "-er" to an appropriate expression. However
in some regions, domestic activities such as baking, brewing, spinning
as well as weaving were regarded as peculiarly female occupations
and to demonstrate this tradition, the "-er" constructions
were replaced with those in "-ster". Thus we have not
only "Baker" but " Baxter" (ie. Bakester), "Brewster",
"Spinster" as well as "Webster". However as
time went by, men tended to become more involved in these occupations
and the "-ster" designations were increasingly applicable
to both. Indeed, even as early as 1275 "John le Webestere"
is located in Norfolk and "William le Webester" in Lancashire
(1284). Interesting entries occur in the tax lists for York in 1379;
"Alicia Wryght, huswyfe, webster" and "Robert Webster,
webster". The name was also imported into Scotland where "Malcolm
Wobstare" is stated as dwelling in Stirling during 1436. An
interesting comment is implied in the case of "William Webster"
of Dundee (1688) whose occupation is given as " Baker".

Charley Cake Park, a triangular shaped green space bordered by Town
Street, Whingate and Springfield Mount. It was originally called
Whingate Park, but was affectionately named after a Pudsey peddler
who sold cakes in Armley and rested his horse on the land on his
way home. His most popular cake, thought to resemble shortbread
was triangular in shape and called a Charley cake after the peddler.
The three cornered park was also dubbed Charley Cake. The plot of
land originally belonged to the Gott family.

The San Francisco Morning Call
October 22, 1868
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yesterday morning San Francisco was visited by the most severe earthquake
the city ever experienced. The great shock commenced at 7:53 A.M.
and continued nearly one minute, being the longest ever known in
this region. The oscillations were from east to west, and were very
violent. Men, women, and children rushed into the streets—some
in a state of semi-nudity—and all in the wildest state of
excitement. Many acted as if they though the Day of Judgment had
come. for a time the excitement was intense, and the panic was general.
A hazy atmosphere pervaded the city, though it was clear and warm
for two or three days previous. The weather was temperate–the
thermometer being at about fifty-nine degrees. Probably one-third
of the people of the city were in their beds, and the remainder
were engaged in their morning duties. The shock came upon them with
surprising suddenness, and was fearful in its results. The streets
were full of excited people all day. Business was generally suspended,
and crowds of women and children occupied the public plazas, some
of them up to a late hour last night. A full and correct account,
by our Reporters, of the events in this city and adjoining counties
will be found below:

California became a territory of the United States of America on
February 2, 1848 by the treaty of Guadalupe Hildago. It was the
news of the discovery of gold later that same year, however, that
resulted in the explosion of California's population. Prior to the
discovery of gold, the population was estimated at 15,000 persons.
The news of the gold discovery quickly circled the globe and hopeful
miners of every nationality migrated to the California gold fields
in hopes of finding their share of the riches in the precious metal.
By the end of 1849 the population had reached 100,000. In 1852 it
was 224,000, in 1860 the official census showed 380,000, in 1870
the population had reached 650,000, and by 1880 it was 865,000.
The administration of government with this quick growth required
that formal voting procedures be implemented to create voter districts
and avoid fraud. Voter registration became necessary and the "Great
Registers of Voters" were created. The earliest Great Registers
were produced in 1866 as a result of the enactment of Chapter CCLXV,
Laws of the 16th Session of the California State Legislature; 1865-1866.
This legislation, approved 19 March 1866, and known as the Registration
Act, provided "for the registration of the citizens of the
State, and for the enrollment in the several election districts
of all the legal voters thereof, and for the prevention and punishment
of frauds affecting the elective franchise."
Section 3 of the Act required that "The manner of registration
shall be as follows: Clear and distinct entries shall be made in
said books, setting forth in separate columns the name at full length
(without the use of initials) of the person registered; his age,
omitting fractions of years; the country of his nativity; his occupation;
the particular city, town, township, ward, or district of his residence;
if a naturalized foreigner, when, where, and by what Court he was
admitted to become a citizen of the United States; also the date
of registry, and a number affixed to each name, which numbers shall
run successively in the other of registration; and to the truth
of the facts stated in such entries the person registered shall
be duly sworn, which shall also be noted and verified by the word
"sworn", to be entered in a separate column opposite his
name.
Each county government was directed to establish a <>for
the population of their county. The various county Great Register
of Voters resulting from this legislation contain a wealth of information
concerning the citizens, especially the naturalized citizens of
California.
The names of foreign-born voters contained in this statewide compilation
were derived from the printed county level Great Registers required
by this Act. The year 1872 was selected because that was the earliest
year of registration in which most of the State of California's
existing counties had complied with the Act and have surviving lists.
In some cases the 1873 and 1875 Great Register was used. This was
done when the county did not have a 1872 register or when the 1872
register did not contain naturalization data but the next register
did.
In 1872 the State of California was comprised of fifty counties.
Of these fifty, only one county --- Klamath no longer exists, its
territory now part of Del Norte and Humboldt counties. Since 1872,
nine new counties have been formed.

This is one of a series of files in a web-base finding aid to the
many vital events recorded in the San Francisco Call during calendar
years 1869-1895. Most events are for the San Francisco California
area - births, marriages, and deaths. However many records are for
events throughout California and beyond which were of interest to
residents of San Francisco. Deaths at sea were also reported by
the ships coming into the port of San Francisco.Webster, Alex...

The San Francisco Morning Call
October 22, 1868
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yesterday morning San Francisco was visited by the most severe earthquake
the city ever experienced. The great shock commenced at 7:53 A.M.
and continued nearly one minute, being the longest ever known in
this region. The oscillations were from east to west, and were very
violent. Men, women, and children rushed into the streets—some
in a state of semi-nudity—and all in the wildest state of
excitement. Many acted as if they though the Day of Judgment had
come. for a time the excitement was intense, and the panic was general.
A hazy atmosphere pervaded the city, though it was clear and warm
for two or three days previous. The weather was temperate–the
thermometer being at about fifty-nine degrees. Probably one-third
of the people of the city were in their beds, and the remainder
were engaged in their morning duties. The shock came upon them with
surprising suddenness, and was fearful in its results. The streets
were full of excited people all day. Business was generally suspended,
and crowds of women and children occupied the public plazas, some
of them up to a late hour last night. A full and correct account,
by our Reporters, of the events in this city and adjoining counties
will be found below:
ON STOCKTON STREET.
The damage on Stockton street, as a whole, did not amount to a
great deal, although in one or two places considerable loss was
sustained. One of the spires—the centre one—of the Jewish
Synagogue between Broadway and Vallejo street, was thrown down.
The upper portion of the rear wall was also knocked down, and the
plastering shaken off and the walls cracked in several places. The
damage will amount to about $400. The buildings on this street,
between Broadway and the Bay, were very slightly injured. The plastering
was cracked in a number of them, and windows smashed to pieces,
but $500 will cover the entire loss.
The building on the northwesterly corner of Broadway and Stockton
street, occupied by the drug store of Mr. W. Pickering, and the
office of Dr. R. Beverly Cole, were very badly shattered. The drugs
and glass bottles in the store were thrown together in a perfect
jumble, and broken into thousands of pieces. Mr. Pickering’s
loss will be about $1,000, perhaps more than that sum. In Dr. Cole’s
house the damage was very great. Several very fine statuettes, purchased
by the Doctor during his visit to Europe several years ago, at great
cost, were thrown down and destroyed. A large quantity of costly
glassware was broken, his furniture was damaged and his entire house
put into an uproar. His damages will be in the neighborhood of $5,000.
The building was also considerably damaged, and will cost in the
neighborhood of $1,000 to repair it.
The building occupied by A. Lendhardt, carpet dealer, at No. 1232
Stockton street, was considerably wrecked—the front wall was
torn off from the side walls five or six inches, and great fears
were entertained that it would fall. The sidewalk in front of it
was immediately fenced in, and persons prevented from passing. The
damage to the building will reach $500. The upper portion was occupied
by a family. The inmates of the house sustained but little loss,
and $100 will probably cover it. The remainder of the buildings
in this neighborhood escaped with no greater damage than the cracking
of plastering, and the breaking of a few panes of glass. The buildings
on this street, between Pacific and Market, were very slightly injured,
and the entire damage will not exceed $1,000.
PACIFIC STREET
This street sustained very little damage west of Stockton, or,
indeed, in any part of it. The buildings west of Stockton withstood
the successive shocks, and sustained little or no damage at all,
the greatest being the knocking off of plastering, or the cracking
of it. Between Stockton street and the Bay, the damage was greater.
The building on the southwestern corner of Dupont [Grant Ave.]
and Pacific, occupied as a lodging house in the upper portion, and
by a drug store, butcher shop, a boot and shoe store, two restaurants,
a grocery store, and the American Bakery, on the ground floor, was
cracked in several places, and in one part the rear wall opened
some two or three inches. The windows in the Bakery were smashed
to pieces. One of the bakers, in getting out of the house, was struck
in the leg by a falling brick, but, fortunately, was only slightly
injured. Bottles in the drug store and grocery were knocked down
and broken, and the furniture in the upper portion of the building
damaged to a slight degree. The entire damage to the building and
the inmates, will not exceed $500.
Between Dupont street and the Bay, several houses were slightly
injured. In some instances the walls were cracked, and in other
the plastering cracked and knocked down, but the entire damage will
not exceed $1,000.
IN THE CHINESE QUARTER
The damage in the Chinese quarter bounded by Kearny and Stockton,
Washington and Pacific, is considerable. In an alley leading off
Dupont street, between Jackson and Pacific, the fire-wall of a brick
building fell upon a small frame shanty, smashing it to pieces and
breaking the furniture into splinters. The inmates ran into the
alley, and, with one exception, escaped without injury—this
exception was a Chinese woman, who was struck on the head with a
piece of falling timber and pretty badly cut, but not dangerously.
The side of a brick house in the same neighborhood was bulged out
to such an extent that it had to be shored up to prevent it from
falling. It will have to be taken down. In an alley leading off
Jackson street, the fire-wall of a building fell and knocked down
a balcony, but did no other injury. In one or two other places fire-walls
were shaken down, but as a general thing the Chinese suffered very
little, and $1,000 will cover the loss sustained by all of them.
SANSOME STREET
This street suffered very severely, quite a number of buildings
being more or less damaged. The buildings between Washington street
and Telegraph Hill suffered very little, but south of Washington
street, the damage in some places was severe. Messrs. Hayes &
Lawton, importers and dealers in crockery and glassware, at the
corner of Sansome and Merchant streets, sustained a loss of about
$100, by breaking of stock which was thrown down.
The fire-wall of the building on the southwestern corner of Merchant
and Sansome streets, occupied by Deffebach & Co., printers,
was tumbled down, and the walls slightly cracked in one or two places.
The building on the northeastern corner of Clay and Sansome streets,
occupied by George W. Clark, wall-paper dealer, was slightly damaged.
The building on the opposite corner, occupied by a grocery store
and the Empire Restaurant on the ground floor, and by Kohler’s
musical and toy depot in the second floor, and to which they have
just been adding a third story, was shaken up in a very lively manner.
The fire-wall along Sansome street came down with a tremendous crash.
The windows of the restaurant were smashed to pieces, and a large
number of persons who were in it eating their breakfast, rushed
into the street in great dismay. Mr. Blumenthal, the proprietor
of the restaurant, and two other men—one of them a waiter
in the establishment—were very severely injured , and the
probabilities are that one of them at least will die from the effects
of his injuries.
On the opposite corner, in the building occupied by the drug store
of C.F. Richards & Co., the shock was felt in full force. The
bottles and cases were hurled upon the floor in wild confusion,
many of them being broken and their contents poured out. This firm
will sustain a loss of about $500. Simon Levy, the proprietor of
a cigar store in the same building, sustains a loss of between $100
and $200. The drug store of Shepardson & Gates, in the same
building, but in the corner fronting on Sansome and Commercial streets
was damaged to the extent of $600 or $800 by having their glass
jars smashed.
The building on the northwestern corner of Sacramento and Sansome
streets was slightly cracked in several places. That portion of
the American Theatre building not destroyed by the recent fire,
was considerably racked, and a portion of the walls knocked down.
The saloon called “The Hole in the Wall” was damaged
to a slight extent, the awning in front of it being smashed, and
the debris scattered about the entrance.
The bank of California, on the corner of Sansome and California
streets, was shaken to a degree that caused considerable apprehension
at one time, but fortunately the damage was not near so great as
was supposed. The top of the building was considerably jarred, and
some of the stones moved out of their places. The building is a
very costly one, and it is estimated that it will cost $10,000 to
put it in as good condition as it was before the shock. From California
street to Market, on Sansome, the damage was very slight; in fact,
with the exception of a few broken windows, nothing has come to
our knowledge.
WASHINGTON STREET
The damage on this street was not severe except in one or two places.
C. Paturel, dealer in perfumes, opposite the Plaza, lost a few bottles,
and had his windows smashed. The windows in Gros’s drug store
were broken. The drug store of McBoyle & Co., in the Government
Building, was badly wrecked. The shelving was thrown down, and damage
to the extent of $2,500 done. The Government building was also damaged,
some of the joists being drawn out of their places. It is thought
the damage will not exceed $1,500.
The building on the southeastern corner of Battery and Washington
streets, occupied by Delapaine & Co., wholesale grocers, and
Stone & Hayden’s saddle and harness manufactory, was slightly
damaged. The fire-wall fell, and the chimneys were shattered to
pieces. Mr. Peter Alfritz of the firm of Delapaine & Co., was
struck on the foot by a falling brick, while he was making his escape
from the building. Fortunately he sustained no injury. The remainder
of the damage does not amount to enough to particularize.
CLAY STREET
The buildings west of Montgomery street, on Clay street, sustained
very little damage, broken window-glass, falling plastering, and
a few chimneys tumbled down comprising the sum total. But east of
Montgomery, upon that portion which has been reclaimed from the
Bay and is called “new-made ground” the damage was considerable.
The fire-wall of McAllister’s building, between Montgomery
and Sansome, was wrenched from its position, and fell to the pavement
below, and in its fall struck a wooden awning, carrying it along.
A lady passing at the time, was stricken down, and one of her legs
broken above the ankle. She was conveyed to Steele’s drug
store, on Montgomery street, where her injuries were dressed by
a surgeon, and she was removed to her home.
The buildings from Leidesdorff street to Battery street were but
slightly damaged, with the exception of the California Wire Works
building, and that occupied by the Scientific American and Mining
Press office. The fire-walls of these buildings fell with a terrible
crash, burying beneath them a Chinaman named King Young, aged forty
years, and an American named William Strong. Both of those men were
instantly killed. Mr. Strong was in the Mining Press office at the
time the first shock began, and immediately rushed out to escape
the impending danger. He made good his escape from the building,
but was killed on the sidewalk, while those who remained in the
house escaped.
The cigar and tobacco warehouse of A.S. Rosenbaum, at No. 323 Clay
street, and the Railroad House, adjoining, occupied by S.P. Taylor,
paper dealer, were very extensively damaged. In fact, the Clay-street
ends of these buildings are completely wrecked, and will have to
be torn down and rebuilt. The loss will probably reach $25,000.
The walls have tumbled in, the floors fallen into the cellar, the
foundations given way, and the entire scene is one of dilapidation.
From this point to the wharf, the damage is not great.
CLAY-STREET WHARF.
A gentlemen who was on Clay-street wharf at the time, and whose
business is connected with the wharf, informs us that the scene
from where he stood was grandly terrible. The ships alongside the
wharves swayed to and fro like they do when in the trough of the
sea, with the waves rolling mountain high. The wharves shook and
trembled with great force; piles of wheat and bricks were thrown
down, and in some instances into the Bay. The horses in the drays
and trucks became panic-stricken, and reared and plunged in mad
fury. But during all this time, while everything on shore was trembling
with terror, the waters of the Bay were as placid as upon the calmest
Summer’s day. The damage on the wharf does not amount to a
great deal.
CALIFORNIA STREET
The damage on this street was mostly confined to that portion situated
upon the “reclaimed ground.” The clothing manufactory
of S. Reinstein, at No. 314 California street, was badly injured,
the foundation having sunk sixteen or eighteen inches. The building
is a brick one, and will probably have to be rebuilt. The carriage
depot of O.F. Willey, adjoining, was also considerably damaged—probably
to the extent of $1,500. This is a wooden building, and can be repaired.
Upon the opposite site of the street, the building occupied by the
Pacific Pump Manufacturing Company and the one-story building adjoining,
formerly used as an auction house, but now unoccupied, we believe,
are totally wrecked; the walls are down, the roof in, and the floors
out of position. The front portion of the buildings will have to
be rebuilt, but the rear portion is only slightly damaged. There
were several other buildings on this street more or less damaged,
generally, however, by the falling of fire-walls.
SACRAMENTO STREET
On this street, between Montgomery and Sansome, the injury to buildings
is pretty severe. The plastering in the building occupied by Donahoe’s
Bank was cracked in several places. The adjoining building also
suffered in the same way. No. 513, occupied by John G. Hodge &
Co., stationers, George W. Stevens, printer, J. Levin, John Gilmore,
tobacconists, and others was pretty roughly handled, several large
openings being made in the wall. On the opposite side of the street
was the old Knickerbocker Engine House, now occupied by A.J. Plate,
dealer in firearms. This building settled some ten or twelve inches,
but sustained no other damage. The adjoining building, occupied
by Black, Robbins & Co., paper dealers, Wigmore’s furniture
depot, and Turnbull & Smith’s job printing office, were
also damaged in a similar manner. The inmates, however, suffered
very little damage. Several other buildings on this street were
considerably injured, particularly those nearer the Bay. The bakery
of Deeth & Starr is very badly wrecked, and Mr. Deeth informs
us that he does not think it can be repaired. This firm loses about
$2,500 in damage to ovens, stock, etc.
MARKET STREET
The wreck on this street, in some localities, is complete. The
lumber yard of Blythe & Wetherbee was a scene of confusion,
owing to the knocking down of the lumber piles, but fortunately,
very little real damage resulted. In the box manufactory of Hobbs
& Gillmore, damage to the extend of $500 or $1,000 resulted
from the falling of a chimney leading from the furnace which drives
the engine. This chimney, in the fall, carried about twenty feet
square of the roof of the building. Two or three men were at work
under this portion of the roof, but escaped uninjured. There are
some two or three hundred persons engaged at work in this establishment,
and every one of them rushed in great fright to escape from the
building. In this wild scramble, one of the men—F. Seaver
by name—fell over a pile of lumber which had been thrown down,
and sustained a fracture of the left arm. The Santa Cruz lime and
fire-brick depot of Samuel Adams sustained slight damage. The bricks
were knocked down, and many of them broken.
The building in the course of construction by Messrs. Coffee &
Risdon, and the old building occupied by this firm, were both totally
demolished. There were several persons at work in these buildings,
and some of them were seriously injured. The particulars are given
under the head of casualties. This new building was a flimsy affair,
and we are not surprised at its falling. The ground in this vicinity
sunk a couple of feet, and at one place near by opened several inches,
to a depth of many feet. Several buildings in the vicinity were
more or less damaged. The next serious loss on this street was the
drug store of George S. Dickey, where glassware, etc. to the value
of $300 or $400 was damaged.
FREMONT STREET
The new building in the course of erection by Messrs. Wilson &
Doble was slightly damaged. The top portion of the walls tumbled
down, and the foundation was somewhat shattered. the heavy sign
on the top of the Pacific Saw Manufacturing Company’s works
was thrown into the street and smashed to pieces. The damage to
this establishment did not amount to anything. The brass foundry
of Wm. T. Garrett sustained damaged to the extent of $500 by the
destruction of furnaces and chimneys and the shifting of machinery.
The other damages on this street, except those to the Gas Works,
mentioned elsewhere, were slight.
BROKAW’S MILLS.
These mills are situated on the southeasterly corner of Mission
and Fremont streets, and suffered very severely, being damaged to
the extent of between $10,000 and $15,000. The street in front of
them sunk two or three feet. The buildings are considerably wrecked,
particularly that one used as a storage room for mouldings. Several
of the men, in escaping from this building, were slightly injured.
DONOHUE’S FOUNDRY.
The Union Foundry, owned by Booth & Co., was extensively damaged,
some of the inner walls being badly cracked, and one of the machine
shops smashed out of shape. A piece of ground in the centre of the
building, upon which was piled a quantity of pig iron, sunk down
several feet, throwing the iron against the wall of one of the shops,
and smashing things very generally, causing damage to the extent
of several thousand dollars. There were a large number of men employed
in the foundry, but all escaped without injury, with one or two
exceptions.
AT THE GAS WORKS.
The damage at the Gas Works will reach $10,000 or $12,000. The
walls of their coal shed, on the corner of Fremont and Howard streets,
were damaged so badly that three of them will have to be taken down.
In one place, about thirty feet of the side wall shot into the street.
The walls of an adjoining shed were also wrecked so badly that they
will have to be partly torn down and rebuilt. In the Gas Works proper,
the chimney topped over, doing considerable damage as it fell. One
of the main condenser connections was broken, causing a temporary
suspension of the Howard-street Works, as it will require several
days for the necessary repairs to be made.
THE CUSTOM HOUSE.
The damage to the upper portion of the Custom House building is
very severe. The inside walls are opened in several places to the
extent of two or three inches. Indeed so fearful are those whose
duty it is to look after the customs, that they have removed to
the apartments occupied by the Internal Revenue Department, and
will remain there until after their building has been thoroughly
repaired. The Post Office, which is in the same building, was closed
during the day, only a few persons remaining on duty for the purpose
of making up and dispatching the mails.
THE CITY HALL.
This place is very badly damaged—in fact, to such a degree
that all public business was suspended, and it is doubtful whether
any of the Judges will consent to resume their Courts in the Court
rooms allotted to them. The front of the building looks like a dilapidated
ruin. Some of the stones are out of place, and apparently held only
by their weight, while the inner walls are cracked and opened in
many places. The Probate Court room and the Twelfth District Court
are badly torn up, while the upper story is almost beyond repair.
Some of those who are experts in such matters are of the opinion
that the building can be saved, but others think it will have to
be taken down to the second story, and others, still, that it will
have to be abandoned altogether.
When the shocks were taking place, the prisoners confined in the
Calaboose were in the wildest state of alarm. They could not escape,
and fearing that the entire building was coming down, their cries
were very painful. Judge Provines called his court to order at the
regular hour, but immediately adjourned after liberating all those
imprisoned for drunkenness, and ordering Captain McElory to convey
the others to the County Jail, which had sustained no damage.
THE CITY AND COUNTY HOSPITAL–THE MARINE HOSPITAL.
The City and County Hospital was very much shaken. The eastern
wall was cracked in several places, as also was the rear wall. A
panic almost occurred among such patients as were able to move about,
but it was prevented through the exertions of some of the nurses,
who had to use strenuous efforts to prevent patients from rushing
madly down the stairs. By so doing, it is probably that several
lives were saved. The Marine Hospital, at Rincon Point, was so much
damaged that it is considered unsafe, and the patients were removed
to a place of safety.
AT THE MISSION.
The damage done to the Mission Woollen Mills consists mainly of
a partial giving way of the floor in the main building, thereby
unsettling the shafting and a portion of the machinery on the second
floor. The rear portion of the boiler-house settled some, but no
damage was done to any of the machinery beyond placing it out of
gear. It will probably require a couple of weeks to make all necessary
repairs. Nobody was injured. Work was immediately discontinued.
The upper portion of the southern wall of the Deaf and Dumb Asylum
building, on Fifteenth street, was thrown down. A portion of the
wall fell into the girls’ wash-room, while the remainder fell
into the yard. The inmates had a fortunate escape, for less than
five minutes before the fall, all the girls were in the room, engaged
in their toilets.
[Fire Engine] Seven’s engine house on Sixteenth street was
considerably damaged. At the Pacific Tannery, on Folsom street,
a panic occurred among the workmen, and several were slightly injured
in their attempts to escape from the building. Nearly all the buildings
in this portion of the city were badly shaken, and more or less
damaged.
MISCELLANEOUS.
The New York Crockery Store, on Kearny street, near Sutter, sustained
damages to the extent of $500 or $600.
Dr. Jordan sustained losses to the amount of $1,500 by breakage
to furniture in his dwelling-house.
The Type Depot of Thomas Cash, on the corner of Leidesdorff and
Clay, was completely destroyed—that is, the type was thrown
into a confused mass on the floor, and he will have to convert it
all into type metal, as it would cost more than it is worth to assort
it. His loss will reach $5,000.
The crockery store of R.A. Swain & Co., on the northeast corner
of Sansome and Pine streets was damaged, by breakage, to the extent
of several hundred dollars.
The buildings owned by Michael Reese, on Battery street, between
Pine and California streets, were damaged to the extent of several
thousand dollars, by the settling of the foundation.
A brick building, built in 1852, on Natoma street, which has withstood
all the previous shocks, was nearly totally destroyed. It was occupied
by Charles Moneypenny, as a boarding house.
The house of John Farmer, at No. 144 Natoma street, was badly cracked,
and the furniture in the house smashed to pieces.
The building occupied by the Squarza Saloon, on Leidesdorff street,
is badly cracked.
The rear walls of the What Cheer House are also cracked in several
places.
The rear wall of Liddle & Kaedling’s gun shop, on Washington
street, was partially thrown down.
A large plate-glass in the Hibernia Bank was broken to pieces.
The panic was so great that the various teachers, acting under
instructions by Superintendent Denman, dismissed the Public Schools,
and permitted the children to go home. We are glad to be able to
contradict all the reports of destruction to school property. None
of the school-houses were damaged to any degree, a few chimneys
being thrown down, and several windows broken.
The large brick building on the northwest corner of Jackson and
Kearny streets, recently erected, and known as “Rose’s
Hotel,” was cracked in several places.
A small brick building, No. 912 Kearny street, was so much broken
up that the sidewalk in front of it had to be barricaded.
The Engine House on Broadway, above Dupont, was fissured in several
places.
The two large brick buildings on Broadway street, between Dupont
and Stockton, known as “Palm’s House,” and “Broadway
House,”were considerably damaged. Both houses were filled
with lodgers. They became seized with the idea that the buildings
were insecure, and in the afternoon commenced removing their furniture
and other articles to other quarters.
The fire-wall of the New Orleans Warehouse, fronting on California
street, fell, and went through the sidewalk.
In an empty lot on California street, below Davis, water was forced
up through the ground to the height of two feet.
At No. 314 Sacramento street, the roof of the building fell in.
It was occupied by C.P. Rank, dealer in hosiery and fancy goods.
The building next adjoining, occupied by the Pioneer Woollen Factory,
settled nearly a foot.
In the store of L. Feldman, No. 315 Sacramento street, a large
quantity of fine ware was thrown to the floor, and damaged.
On Front street, the front of the brick store, No. 212, occupied
by H. Brickwedel, was so badly cracked that it will have to be taken
down.
The fire-wall of DeWitt, Kittle & Co’s building, corner
of California and Front streets, was thrown down.
Corner of Front and Richmond streets, the large brick building
occupied by Castle Brothers was very much shaken. The parapet wall,
the entire length of the house on Richmond street, was thrown down.
The front of the Albany Brewery, on Everett street, near Fourth,
was detached from the main portion of the building and will have
to come down.
The French Hospital, on Bryant street, was cracked in several places,
but no danger is entertained for the safety of the building.
A part of the large chimney at the San Francisco and Pacific Sugar
Refinery was broken off and fell to the ground. A number of the
workmen were on the point of going out of the building and into
the yard through a door when the chimney fell.
Wm. Crosbie’s brick house, No. 56 First street, was so extensively
damaged that barricades had to be kept up during the day to warn
pedestrians of the danger.
On Market street, above Front, a portion of the street—nearly
half a block—opened to the width of four inches.
Popper’s building, corner of Third and Mission, which was
so much damaged during the earthquake of October 18th, 1865, remained
all “O.K” during the first shock, at eight o’clock,
but the second shock brought down several of the cornices.
The fire-wall of the brick building on the northwest corner of
Third and Mission fell.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE EARTHQUAKE
The lengthy report of the calamitous event which occurred in this
city yesterday, published in THE CALL this morning, has been collected
by faithful and reliable reporters, who speak from personal observation.
It will be found nearly correct in detail.
