The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1878-08-26

The large increase becoming known, ut
noon created something OF Il panic among
those who had determined TO brave It out,
and many wayered in their resolution and
left the city BY rail this evening The
Howards have had more than they could
attend to, and to-day experienced some
detficulty in supplying nurses for the sick.
Among the deaths to-day is Dr. John c..
Rogers, and among the now cases are
Father Maher, OF st. Bridget's Church,
DR.. D. T. Porter and DOlph Thunal,
Teller OF the German NatiOral Bank.
The Grand Dictator OF Tennessee,
Knights OF Honor, has issued n circular
appeal to the Knights Of Honor to respond
to the distress call. Many members Of the
Order have died, and many more are now
on the sick list. The expenses Of Lodges
here are very heavy, and the treasury is
well nigh exhausted.
The increase Of fever to-day has brought
more labOrers into the field, and the Odd
Fellows, MasOns, Knights Of Honor, Of
Workingmens relief boards find their time
pretty well occupied in caringio the sick
and destitute. The terrible epidemic Of
1873 scarcely equals the distress now pre-
vailing in our midst, when our depleted
population is taken into account. To-day
whole families were prOstntcd within IL
few hours, their misery being increased,
in some instances, by the delay in receiv-
ing proper attention.
4 special from Grenada says: Appeals
for nurses to-day, which could not he an
swered, were heartrendering. Whole fam
lilies are down, without II soul to mid them.
Fifty brave nurses on duty have more than
an average OF two patients apiece, yetthey
do not flag in their duty. Abundant sup
plies OfprovisiOns from neighbOring towns
come in daily, and funds are now being
received quite liberally. Good nurses are
the great need. .-...
