MORE AID FOR THE FEVER SUFFERERS
In response TO a call signed by Chef-En-
gineer Thomas OConnor, OF the New

city, the members OF the Richmond Fire
Department have contributed the sum OF
500, in addition to the amount already
given. Chief. Engineer O'Connor has been
notified to draw on Chief Ainslic, OF this
city, for the sum named.
Total receipts to date, S4,S55.61.

81 400: Memphis, S1,400; Vicksburg, ST.
1861: Grenada, 1915; Port Gibson, 1910;
Holly Springs, SlOOs Refugees, S25. Total,

Friendship Lodge, No. At, /. o. F. S. L.,
has contributed S31.25 to the yeloW-fever
sufferers.
The committee charged with the duty OF
calling upon our citizens to respond to the
appeal OF the Louisiana Division OF the
Army OF Northern Virginia" 10 their COM
rades in this State were not supplied with
envelopes enough to be left at every house
in the city, and they beg that those not called
upon will please send their contributions to
Nir. Leroy Edwards, corner Ninth and
Main streets, to-day (Monday), as the COM
mittee desires to report on Tuesday. The
blood shed by this division in defence OF
Richmond should appeal stronger than
words.
Atth last meeting OF the Walters Union,
colored organization OF this city, James
Jones presented the following, which was
adopted:
Whereas we have been watching and
waiting with most painful anxiety for an
abatement in the ravages of the yellow
fever in the plague-stricken cities OF the
South; and whereas the continuous suffer-
ings or our fellow-beings in those un1or-
tunate localities appeal to the heart OF hu-
manity everywhere in terms and tones that
tell us touchingly of mans duty to man in
the great emergencies Of life; therefore
RESOLVED, That the organization OF col
ored men in this city known rs "Ihe
Walters Union y herewith tenders to the
yellow-iever sufferers OF the South the sum
Of ten dollars from the treasury OF the
Union as small token OF sincere sympa'
thy from poor men, who only wish their
hands could be as responsive as their hearts.

AT MR.. H1GGINBoTHAM's.


On Saturday members of Mr.. Higginbot-
hams family came to the city on business.
They represent the storm as being far more
severe than described in this paper. 1t is
stated that the heavy pillars Of the front
porch were blown more than mile away,
but not vestige of some OF the other build
ings could be found. The family were at
dinner at the time the storm came upon them.
One or two member OF the family We're
called out to the front OF the house to look
at the singular cloud-a cloud OF smoke it
appeared to be-which was approaching
RAPIDLY. The sound Of the wind was dis
tinctIy heard when it was long way OF,
but not one member Of the family imagined
what it could be, although all commented
11pon il. It seemed to them to resemble the
"blowing off" Of steam from locomotive,
and it grew nearer and nearer, until finally
it burst upon them with great fury.
A neighbor, who saw the course the tor
nado was taking, got upon his horse and
rode to Mr.. Higginbotham's to render what
assistance he could. He stated that when
the porch and roof Of the house were bleWn
away he never expected to see the family
come out alive, but feared that it would be
his sad duty to drag their mangled bodies
from beneath the Debris. He says the half
has not been told OF the destruction caused
by the storm in that neighborhood.
