HOME Folks HEARD FROM. Since the
letter received by Mrs. c. N. Black from her
sister, on the 2nd page, was printed
we have been given the following facts from
a letter written April 26th. Mrs. Hartman
was then at her home rooms, No. 80 Liberty
street, having returned from the hills, where
thew had spent 3 days and nights without
shelter. Mrs. Hartman says the conditions
"are hundred times worse than the news
paper accounts" A short distance from
| where they are located the earth opened
and engulfed a three-story house in which
7Opeople persisted and they then were bury
ing the dead in trenches They have to GO
out and line up every day for food. There
have been 80 distinct shocks and the 25th
there was quite heavy one. Capt. Harri-
man sails the steamer SonOma, running
from San Francisco to Australia, and was to
have sailed the 10Th, the day after the catas-
trophy, and Mrs. Hartman was to have
left for visit to the East the 23rd. Their
son Murray, who is a graduate electrician
from the University of California, a young
man of % years, was in business on Market
street and had in two years built up bust
ness that was valued at $4,000, which was
lost without insurance. He is an ambitious
and bright young man and both he and hi
father are without work or money. He wal
born in Belfast, later going to England ant
from there to San Francisco. This lettel
came without stamps and with the promise
that another would soon follow. Col. Phil'
