The house tbey occupied was bat little damged by the shock and the fire only got within two blocks of their street Mr. Howard states that the city was not so badly injared by the earth quake as was reported; the best build ings not being seriously damaged. But all the alimsly strnotures and those that bad been pot up by dis honest contractors were torn to pieces by tbe shock. The 17,000,000 city hall went to pieces and was a mass of ruins before the fire touched it, for it represented abont ftt.000.000 graft and stealage and was so poorly constructed that it barely stood nnder normal con ditiona.
