QUESTION OF TIME.
AN Ot'TLAY OF $1.40 HANGS UP
ON DISPUTE? OVER TWO AND
ONE-HALF MINUTES.
LOUIHVJfcLE, Nov. 20.- Whether
noon In Louisville is reckoned accord
ing to standard or solar time is the
question involved In 13 suits for 219,
sio Insurance filed here by the Peas-Ice-Guulbert
company and the Louis
ville Lend anJ Color company. Each
of these sul'.s Is against Insurance torn
ttnnles that held policies on these build
ings of the two companies destroyed
by Ore about midday, April 1. last.
The iHiltcLs of the 13 defendant com
panies were In force from noon April
1. 1901, to noon, April 1, 1S02. None of
the policies makes It plain whi ther the
word noon means ex-cording to stand
ard or solar time. The records of the
fire department show that the llames
were discovered about 11-45 o'clock, al
though the exact moment never has
been definitely settled. Polar time is
17 1-2 minutes faster than standard
time and It the (Ire broke out at 11:45
standard time, it was then two ,and
on-vhalf minutes after noon by solar

Thousand of Dollars Were Re
cctitly Hpent In Improving
Property Which IsXow
Charred Itu.'iut.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. M.-The
Southern Pacific depot and ferry slips
extending far Into the bay from the east
ern shore, were totally destroyed by
fire earlpr this morning. A large num
ber of passenger coaches were also
burned and It Is feared that several
lives have been lost
The fire broke out from some un
known cause, soon after the ferry boat
Oakland had reached the slip on her
Ihki trio from this city. It was about
1 o'clock and the kitchen crew of the
steamer had retired to their lodgings
In a small structure near the end of
th pier. Suddenly the flames burst
out, quickly spreading through the de
nfit. a big building of wood and glass.
The upper, works of the Oakland
caught fire and her Captain was forc
ed to cut loose and leave his men be
hind. They may have escaped but
have not yet been heard from.
The burned buildings, and slips were
Inaccessible for fire engines from the
Alameda county shore but the two fire
boats were dispatched to the scene
from the city and aided In confining
the flames to the end of the mole.
Nothing else could be done, however,
and everything on the broad extension
of the pier was soon totally destrrwd.
The loss may exceed 1100,600, but can
not yet be closely estimated.
The depot was the terminal for trains
to Santa Crui and also for the trains
to Oakland and Alameda. The depot
was constructed on filled-ln ground and
was used as an approach for the Oak
land and Alameda trains.
The cars In use on the line are of the
most approved pattern. During the
last year the Southern Pacific company
has expended many thousands of dol
lars in repairing the approaches to the
mole and the wharf proper.
The ferry buildings proper covered
several acres and contained the well-
fitted offices of the .railroad operatives,
R. M. Dorethy and E. H. Reese of
Umatilla county. Ore., and C. M. Rader
of Walla Walla are named as executors
of the will -ind trustees of the home.
The clause relating to the Inmates
say 3:
"For the support of a home for father
less and motherless and Indigent child
ren who are residents of the states of
Oregon and Washington, and worthy
elderly Indigent widow . residents of
Oregon and Washington ,and to their
malntalnence and to giving a common
school education and the teaching of
some useful trade by occupation to the
children Inmates."
Joseph l. Stubblefleld died lasf Sat
urday at the age of M years. He came
to the Pacific coast In tne early go's.
The estate la estimated to be worth
nearly $200,000.
RESULT OF EARTHQUAKE.
THOUSANDS KILLED, PLANTA
TIONS RUINED AND CITIES
WIPED OFF THE EARTH.
SAN FRANCIS 20, Nov. 20. W. J.
Campbell, who arrived today from
Guatemala, brings additional details
of the damage caused by the recent
earthquake. , Campbell said:
"There Is no clear idea of the loss o
life but from what I could gather be
fore leaving the country, I believe 5000
natives have been killed. I heard at
San Jose that President Cabrla was
trying to suppress news, but evidence
of the ruin vaa apparent to everybody.
"Some of the coffee flncas that have
been entirely ruined were worth more
than fl.000.000. The plantation of Al
bert James, which was wiped out of
existence had marhfnerv noon It worth
1100.000. Alofo Meyers' flnca, worth
$750,000, was entirely ruined. The town
of Q axolt-jnango Is practically ruined."
