A SOLEMN SABBATH.
Yesterday was beautiful day so far as
the weather was concerned, but scarcely
any sign of life on the streets. No neatly
dressed people wended their way to church,
no bells announced the hour of worship all
around was the stiffness of night. The
story that the child of Tom Marshall, the
Western Union operator, had lain unburied
for two days is unique. No child OF any
person has lain three hours without burial
All that the community can do has been
done, and all attention possible given to
the dead and dying and sick, but it is truly
pitiable to see the orphans and heart-broken
widows Money, clothes and food are need
ed for them.
Four new cases among the whites and six
among the blacks yesterday, and one col
ored man died.
Deaths yesterday: Wyatt M. Redding,
Mrs. DIR. Hughes, Rev. Mr.. Hull (Baptistl
