SAN Francisco, April 19.-Dispatches
to the Associated Press from more than
twenty-five towns show that an earth
quake was quite generally felt in the
northern part of the state and in the
Sacramento valley at 2:50 O'Clock this
morning. Much damage was done to
property and number of people were in
jared, one or two being seriously hurt.
The towns of Vacavllle, Dixon and VIM
tiers apparently sustained the most dam
age. At some points only one shock was
felt. while at others two or even more
were observed. but where they exceeded
two in number the shocks became con-
fused. The vibrations of the shocks were
from north to south and from east to west,
and they were accompanied at some points
by rumbling noises.

quake did great damage here. All the
brick business blocks in the town are q
