was raging in our midst. Before dark the
dark the streets arc deserted, and the gen.
eral gloom is only relieved by the lights
which here and there gloam from the cham
Der windows of the sick. All o'clock our
thoroughfares present the appearance Of
midnight, nothing but the slow tramp of
the policeman on his beat, or an OCCASION
al hurrying footstep, as some enc seeks re-
lief for the sick, dislurbs the solemn still-
ness that reigns throughout the city.
THE MoRTUARY REPORT
shows an increase of one in yellow fever
interments-21-bu the death record is the
same as yesterday, 80. From the reports
on the streets at noon it was supposed that
there would be a much larger increase, but
this was caused, we understand, by some
interments being reported on yesterday that
did not take place until to-day, owing TO
the inability Of the undertakes to attend
the funerals, though permits had been
granted for the burial. The benevolent as
ISOLATION continue their noble work, and
are doing much for the relief OF the eick
and needy. A number of our citizens have
responded to the appeal Of Capt. Wheaton
for assistance. Liberal donations, mostly
from our citizens. have been made to assist
the good work, and we refer with pride to
We are informed by an officer Of the be-
ncvolent association that a baker refused to
sell bread and butcher to sell meat TO the
association, and a small ice dealer to keep
meat, except ut an excessive charge. Such
inhumsnty and utter lack Of feeling is sim
ply barbarous. II is hard to realize that
any person would, during the present cal

sufferers.
AN APPEAL FOR HELP
Rooms of Savannah Christian Associa-
ton, Savannah, Ga, Sept. 81, 1S16.-Hav-
ing hoped and trusted that that fearful and
fatal malady, yellow fever, which made Us
appearance some two weeks since, would
have been overcome or dissipsted, aud that
there would be no actual need for us tqap'
peal to the charity and sympathy of theb
nevolcnt outside of our own city, weAre
now constrained to ask help in cooperSnng
with the Savannah benevolent association
in their mission Of mercy. The feaiul
amount of suffering and want, consequent
upon hard times and now greatly agra
waited by the presence of this terribleep-
demic, calls for our largest charities. In
view of the foregoing facts the Savannah
Christian association make this appeal to
joining states, to come to the help of asuf-
tering city. Everything that sustains life,
or can promote the comfort of the suffer-
ing, such aS money, food, nourishment
and care, is needed to relieve the pressing
wants of our suffering poor. There are
fully two months, long, dreary months,
viewed from our standpoint, through which
we will have to combat the fell destroyer.
We feel assured we will not appeal in'vsln,
and in proportion as the Lord has pros
pered and blessed your communities,
so do unto us in our hour OF sore
distress. The Southern express COM
pany, the railroads, and We trust, steamers
coming into Savannah, will transport all
articles for relief free of cost. We pray
you take prompt action in this matter, and
forward to the Savannah Christian associa-
ton, or to G. N. Saussy, president, such
supplies and contributions as you can col
lect, and add your prayers to your charities
in behalf of suffering people. Money,
poultry, eggs, meal, flour and such articles
as are the necessaries of life, will be CRATE
fully received and distributed where they
are most needed. We invoke the blessings
of the All-Giver upon you and yours.
G. N. SAUssY.
President Savannah Christian Association.
