    Interesting Letter from California

    Miss Minnie Ferrier Writes From Berkley California to her Parents in Berlin Regarding the Earthquake

    On Monday afternoon Mr. Ephraim Ferrier and family, of the Market Hotel, received a welcome and interesting letter from their daughter, Miss Minnie Ferrier, formerly stamp vendor at the Berlin post office, who is, visiting Mr. Ferrier's brother and family in Berkeley, California, which is, about twelve iniles west of San Francisco, since last August. Miss Ferrier was visiting Mr. Ed. Schlegel, in San Francisco two or three days before the earthquake, and was coaxed to remain for another week, but she returned to Berkeley, and escaped the excitement and probably fatal injuries by her action. No mention is made of the safety of Mr. and Mrs. Schlegel, who are former Berliners, and up to the present no, word has been received in Berlin. Miss Ferrier writes, in part, as follows:

    "We are afraid to light the gas for fear of another earthquake, so am writing by a candle. We are in a dreadful condition. We have packed up almost everything and the children are coaxing to go to Canada. People are getting out of California as fast as possible. They cannot buy tickets fast enough. They say there is to be another shock at five o'clock we are getting ready for it. No sleep for us tonight. Now don't think that we suffered such a heavy loss, we are not the only ones, other people have lost everything, and we were lucky in getting off so easily.

    There are 3,000 people killed in San Francisco. You know we can see the city from our back window and was upstairs a little while ago and it is still burning. It looks as though into a roaring furnace. People that have never prayed before in their lives are doing so now. Bodies are lying in the streets in San Francisco and people pass them by, not having time pick them up.

    The way the fire started in the city was this: We had the awful big earthquake first, then two smaller ones followed and we have had several little ones since. They always come in threes and when we feel one we know there are more to follow. Well, some person was foolish enough to make a fire in a stove after the earthquake, for you know the chimneys are down all over. People that have gas have to eat cold. Anyhow, this person made a fire after the chimney was off his house, which was near the new Terminus Hotel, and not a great distance from the Ferry building. That is how the big fire started, and it continued spread. You may wonder why they did not extinguish this fire right away and prevent it from spreading, but I will explain. When the earthquake, occurred it broke all the mains so there was no water to be secured in the city. The pipes have since been fixed and they are pouring the water from the ocean on the flames but the fire has got beyond their control. All night long they have been dynamiting all the immense and beautiful buildings to prevent the flames from spreading.

    At the grocery they allow only a limited amount to each family on account of the wholesale houses being destroyed and there will be a shortage in provisions, but we have enough in the house to live on for months. We have brought the mattresses downstairs and the rest are sleeping on them and if anything happens I am, to wake them up. Some people have erected tents in their back yards.

    In concluding her letter Miss Ferrier states that the people are flocking into San Francisco and have to thing but what was on their backs. Provisions were being sent from all parts of the state and everything was being done to make them confortable, The reports in the papers could not be exaggerated, as the since the earthquake were dreadful and beyond description.
