HOW THE LITTLE TOWN CAME THROUGH THE
PLAGCE-lNCIDFNTs OF THE DARK DAYS.
Correspondence of the Courier.Journal.
Your readers all know that Blackbu
was hero. but there were many more here
us brave as he-men that gave their lives,
many Of them, and women, too; still that
did not relieve the suffering Of all. Both
hotels were made into hospitals, and from
the street cries could be heard for water,
screams Of the dying and the weeping Of
friends. One poor fellow, a drug clerk Il
know him wcll), crazcd with fever leaped
from his bed, threw shee, around n dez-
ing nurse, tied him fast in his chair, and
then helped himself to water and
brandy, saying he was going to
run this thing himself awhile,
Another clerk begged for a preacher to
come and pray for him, but no preacher
could be found. He then begged for some
woman just to put her hand on his head or
turn his pillow, saying he believed he
would get we'll if that much was done for
him. His felow.clcrk stood by him till
death claimed its own. One night, after
burying the dead, six men in desperation
drank Hostettcrs Bittcrs to give them
nerve to continue in their work. The next
night they were all in their graves. One Of
these six, while dying, prayed God to forgive
him for the one sin of persuading enc of
his comrades, H, to drink that night, he
having taken the Murphy pledge and
kept It up to that time. Brave Marshall
Warner was the only city oiiicisl in town
for three weeks. He had entire control
and appointed ten colored police. When
he wanted "darky" TO nurse patient or
dig grave, he sent policeman for him.
Warner IS fine specimen OF manhood, but
hrm as the rock Of ages" and his word
among the colorcd folks is absolutely law.
He and Captain Overton are the only two
men that stayed through the entire cpl.
deinic and did not have the fever. Old
Mr.. Buck, brave old man, sixty.three years
old, the old druggist, the only one left,
stayed at his post, filling over one hundred
prescriptions . day. Knowing that death
wis certain, he cody made his will, and
died In the last hours Of the epidemic.
10. M, a slender dry.goods clerk, had
the black vomit for thirty six'hours. His
coffin was made, his grave dug, and his
death reported. He Is now q great big
double. listed, robust fellow, who looks like
ho had never been sick day In his life.
