The meeting OF our citizens last night
was largely attended, and the proper steps
taken TO secure largo subscription for
the relief OF the South. The tickets to the
entertainment to be given by the Mystic
Krew for the same worthy purpose, are
sold nominally for fifty cents, but the pur-
chaser may pay any higher amount and
| register the same with his name upon the
lists that are kept where tickets are sold.
This plan will secure much larger
amount as the proceeds OF the entertain
ment.
The city is in high state OF excitement
the over publication in a morning paper OF
the letters that were mentioned in a pre-
yious letter as having been written by one
of the Board OF Health TO woman at Pa
ducah, for the purpose OF inducing her to
come 10 Cairo, and others also giving her
a scolding for diyulging the matter; The
woman's name is Ella Ware and the letters,
full OF quash, slush and sloppy love, were
signed "Sol," 'gr. Black & Co." and
Blackstone" and are all in the same
handwriting, ink and upon letter heads
from the Mayors office. The Secretary OF
the Board, BIr. Sol. Farnbaker, has been
discharged. A committee OF the City
Council will investigate the whole matter.
The Mayor at ST. Louis is anxious to
have our Chief OF Police telegraph the
number OF sick people that may be upon
up stream boats, which OF course he will
not do unless paid well for II, as he would
have to make special trip for that pur-
pose. Our officers do not examine up
stream boats. -. ,5-.. ~ '.
TIE SURVIVOR OF TIE PORTER.
LOUISVILLE, KY, August 3l.-Andy
Armstrong, late mate Of the John Porter,
an Ohio river steamer, arrived here to-
day. He is the only survivor left of the
entire crew who remained on board, and
the picture he paints of the terrible fate OF
the Porter is horrible in the extreme, re-
ceiling in some OF its ghastly details the
Ancient Mariner OF yorc. Tho men who
shipped ut Louisville were all taken down
before they reached Cincinnati, himself
excepted. He says the situation OF things
frightened away both nurse and doctor.
AT Gallipolis, Ohio, people with shot-guns
prevented the boat from landing, and
when his last companion died they would
not permit him to come ashore TO bury the
BODY, which was cast into the river. Arm
stlong was given fifty dollars and fled here,
where his family live. He thinks the dis
ease which is moving down so many is
not yellow fever, but fearfully contagious,
whatever it may be.
