The Work Of DepOPulatlOn
still Progressing.
The Situation Up to Noon In City
and Suburbs.
The GlOOmIest and Saddest Days In
Our History.

Early yesterday morning the hearts Of
our citizens we're cheered by the prospect
Of a thunder storm, which it was thought
would purify the atmosphere and thus
help to stay the scourge which is upon
US. The heavens were obscured by heavy
leaden clouds, and the low mutterings OF
thunder we're heard, but the most we re-
coived was a light drizzlinG rain, and
then the sun shone forth with increased
warmth. Sixty-one new cases were re-
ported for the tw~enty.four hours ending
at 6 pm and 26 intsrments for the same
period.
TO DAY
the weather is cloudy and favorable to
the spread OF disease. The situation be-
comes more distressingly painful every
hour.
TIN HswARDs
are kept very busy. but show nc signs Of
tagging in their good work. They re-
port a surfsit OF male nurses but a
scarcity OF female. Last night in T
Spouse to a telegram six female nurses
arrived from Mobile, and more are re-
ported on the way. Their services are
greatly needed, owing to the large pro-
portion of and children sick, es-
pecially the latter. At the
RELIEF COMMITTEE HEADQUARTERS
the greatest activity prevails and a
second panic seems to have taken pos
session Of the poor people. Many ap-
plicAtions are being made for passes tC
the camp and other points, while Com
missary McCabe and his assistant, N.
Dewar, are kept busy issuing %rations "a
families in the city in which there il
sickness. The record Of new cases snC
