AN APPEAL.

To tho Fire Departments Of the Union and all
other kindred Cha, table Organizations:
The Firemen's Charitable Association Of New
Orleans for the first time in its half century Of
existence is compelled to make q public appeal
for aid.
With its $500 active and exempt members, and
their families. with 27o widows, a75 whole and
half orphans, with the inability of the city to
pay the department with an empty treasury,
and widespread epidemic prevailing. it finds
itself powerless to properly relieve the sick and
distressed.
In the cause of humanity it therefore appeals
to kindred charitable organizations throughout
the country for such assistance rs they can
render.

THE F'IREMEN.
THEY MEET AND APPEAL FOR AHm FOR
THE FIRST TIME.

Last evening the board OF delegates Of the
Firemen's Charitable Association held meet
ing at the hall Of Louisiana Hose Fire Com
pany, at the corner Of Carondelet and perdido
streets.
The meeting was called to order by President
I. ~ Marks. O. full quorum of the delegates
being In. attendance.
The chair explained In d few words the object
Of the meeting. which was called to adopt
measures to relieve the sick and destitute of
the flremen. who for the first time since the Or
ganization Of their association found them
selves. In the midst Of an epidemic. compelled
to call upon their friends and sympathizers
throughout the Union to come to their aid
Until recently the organization had been fully
equal to the task of caring for Its widows and
orphans and Its sick. but the inability Of the
city government to meet its obligations towards
the organization made 1t necessary that some
measures should be taken to face the situation.
Some allusion was made to the Howard Asso-
citation. which would afford all the relief neces-
sary. but this was answered by the statement
that the Towards had as much work on their
hands as they could we'll attend to.
After some debate as to the manner Of re-
lieving their sick. the association adopted. g.
resolution authorizing the president and the
relief committee to add as many delegates to
their number as they might deem necessary to
attend to the suffering and destitute tlremen.

to properly relieve the sick and distressed Of
