Treated by Dr. Clarke. and boys, when hospital scenes had passed in terrifying succession, San Francisco closed gloomiest day of Thanksgiving. The accident was terrifying in every detail. Just before the great game between Stanford and Berkeley began at the Recreation Grounds on Sixteenth and Folsom streets many of the thdusands oV men and women who crowded the park noticed that across' the street on Sixteenth "and Folsom streets a crowd of men and boys, numbering between 400 and 500, had'gath- ered on.

the corrugated iron roof of. San Francisco and Pacific Glass Many who saw this little eager band of i ir.ade the comment that the) perch upon v.hkh they were seemed frali and poorly adapted for sustaining theirweight. The rival university teams were" just coming. upon the field. The parhsanaJ of the cardinal and the and gold! were -waving their banners, cheering, shouting, gesticulating in the' very 'climax of enthusiasm.

The ball had Just been tossed into the air when with sound of rumbling thunder' the roof upon which the band of. men and' boys were, stationed gave way and the black mass of humanity upon it disap-'! pcared like a flash of darknesg into light, i Three hundred human beings had shot through the roof to the blazing furnace more than seventy feet below. The shrieks of the unfortunate beings could not be heard above the cheers of those who were watching the game within the Inclosure' of IlecrenUon Park. The great game was' on, but death was playing sad havoc with-; in a stone's throw of where. there, was en-' tJmslasm.

life and the excitement which comes with contentment. Men were roasting to death upon the white-hot surface of the terrible Their clothing was ablaze and their flesh was scorching until the air was permeated with the terrible odor. Boiling oil was pouring upon their bodies. They lay upon the floor with their bones their skulls their life flashing out, while the cheers were, sounding from the adjacent, park. Poor creatures in desperation upon broken fifty, feet above the concrete Below them were human bodies piled in a heap, writhing the torture of.

which unconsciousness had not deprived them. The descending mass of humanity had the iron stanchions of the furnace and had broken the boards of the platforms. The scene was a veritable hell of anguish. These, men and had come to their terrible injury and death through their desire to see the great intercollegiate They had forced their -way through the gates of the large inclosure of the glass works. They' had? climbed over the fences.

is said that' they" h'ad bribed the watchman for the privilege of going to their death, butthe police, after what they deemed, to be a thorough investigation, are unable to prove that any one paid money for. the right to enter the incjosure and asceiid. to the roof. These men and boys went- into Jlhe inclosure like y. The.

buildings are not yet Adjoining that in which the accident happened is air Uncompleted structure which hasnot'yet more than its frame erected. The proprietors and managers of the glass works- had given strict injunctions' that no one should be admitted within this ineloemre. When this impetuous mob swarmed into the place the manager and superintendent of the building warned them away, cautioned them of the danger into which they were rushing headlong and- stood the door with an iron bar, threatening to strike the first man who entered. I Pleadings, warnings and. intimidations were in vain.

-The crowds rushed up the I fire Men and boys climbed lad- I ders. They swung planks from the incom! plete. building to the completed structure and rushed pell-mell onto corrugated iron -roof of the building which in a few moments was to become a house of The. manager of the utterly -un-' able to control the crowd that came upon' hlmi hastened away to scek'the assistance; of the police. He knew the dreadful prob- abilitieSiOf death that were awaiting the men boys upon roof.

He knew, that beneath them move than seventy feet' below' was a- gigantic furnace, with its fires, seething and steamlng'Vith' terrific heat. These fires had been lighted -only a week In preparation for active work. Other furnaces there were in the ing, but. this over which the men' and boys were standing In 'a huddled mpsV I was the only one Above the of the was a concave brick covering, white hot. It is, fully sixty- feet long and thirty feet wide.

The manager hastened with all speed for the gates and as he ran he looked "behind the iron roof sway beneath 'the weight upon it and give Way. Three hundred men and boys had been hurled headlong to the furnace be-low. I- "'A fringe of blnck figures stood around the gaping, twisted', fearful "opening: of the roof and down upon thbseVwhb were prostrate upon white-hot ing of the urnace," and' then pandemonium reigned. the building', there half a dozen men wUh, the, fires of the furnace blazing In; their; faces, laboring 'to keep; alive the; substance that 1 now waa "completing the torture of terrifying HANKPGIVIXG DAY passed Into the history of San Francisco as a day of horror. While the people of the city were in the midst i the festivities with which they marked their celebration of an occasion cf thanks to Providence.

dokth'came upon thorn in Its most, horrify.lug Just as the great football game between Stanford aivl Berkeley started yesterday aTlPrnoon. hundreds of people were hurloj through a roof down to torture, torment and dpath. Just as cheer Ijpon cheer can.e from of throaifc. in the groat arena where the coi- Ipglaf: contest was about to begin, and Jutt flags were waving, men were cheering, women were en their feet applauding the rival athletes, hundreds of men tveie plunging through the air not a clone's throw away. They fell upon the white-hot furnace that was blazing with its fires in the newly erected establishment of the San and Pacific Glass Works.

As the cheers arose in tremendous volume from Kecreatlon Park, there was the sound cf rumbling thunder from across the ctreet and the shrieks of men and boys precipitated down to death. It was, perhaps, the most horrifying accident that ever happened in San Francisco. It threw a pall of sadness over the great fettival of the day and cast the city Into a gloom which could not be dispelled. Thousands of men and women thronged around the place where the dread accident had happened. Hundreds of men gave their help to thoEe who were burned and had been tortured in their fall the roof.

were the cries of the police, the piteous appeal of weeping women and excited men, the hurrying confusion of wagons, ambulances, carriages and any vehicle that could be brought into command. People, frantic in terror and dread apprehension, fled from the place to information at the various hospitals ar.d at the city's house of the dead. Great thrones gathered around the various hospitals long before the stretchers bearing: the wounded, the dying, and, Instances, the dead, arrived. Emcrc-ncy calls were sent to the Fire Department and to the police; physicians summoned from every part of the and San Francisco closed day. upon hlch it was to give its' thanksgiving to Providence in the dread pf atnJ the gloom of despair, by uncertainty.
