Meeting for Relief of Sufferers by tn
High Water.

h1&h w alter.
A meeting took place last evening pur-
suant to notice published yesterday to
consider what steps should be taken to
to relieve those who are suffering from the
effects Of the foods caused By tho rising OF
the river. The meeting was held 10 the
council room, and was we'll attended by
the Aldermen and citizens. Mayor Carsc,
occupied sthe chair, and stated the objec.
of the meeting showing how great the
distress was and what had been done. A
motion that committee Of one Alder
man and one othor citizen be elected from
each ward TO solicit subscriptions. was
made and discussed, and afterwards ad-
opted. The Mayor made following ap-
pointments:
First Ward-Aldermsn G.. W, Henry.
the Rev. j. NJ. Reynolds.
Second Wsrd-Alderman William Ripck
7. III. Thomas.
Third Ward-Aldermau Aug. Schmidt,
K. ". Spencer
Fourth Waid-Aldelman j. Reimers,
s. W. McMastcr
Fifth Ward-Alderman Hugh Warnock,
Charles Engel
These gentlemen were to 60 to work
this morning and report this evening at
the council room. but SO that no one
should suffer in the mean time the mayor
stated that he had arranged with Mr.. w,
L. Sweeney to issue orders iol provisions
to all who really required them. Mayor
Csrse, W. L. Sweeney, Alderman War
mock and Charles EDgel were appointed a
committee on disbursements, with full di -
cretionary powers of the soliciting com.
pittees will report.
The distress has been considerable as
the trouble has in most instances fallen upon
those who are least able to bear in. Some
instances were mentioned where persons
had refused to help till paid for it in
advance, but these are it is to be hoped
the exceptions. ..as many noble instances
were mentioned where help had been
spontaneously given, and where the ut :
most kindness had been shown, The
mayor mentioned one case, that of Mr.
Fries. who had been feeding severa'
families. Mr.. II. G. Black burn
through MIR. w. L. Sweeney. offered
the free use of his vacant store
on Second avenue next to DoeliDger's. A
number of families have occupied the
Fifth ward school house, and many of the
neighbors whose names it is impossible to
give, have done all they could and are
both feeding and clothing those who are
really homeless. Mr.. s. w. McMaster
urged that lumber be obtained and tenn
porary quarters erected, and Alderm an
Reimers suggested that Col. Flagler be
applied to for tents. Alderman Warnock
said tho distress was very great, aud u
answer to Mr.. Osborn said over one hun
dred families had been driven from their
homes. and although absolute want could
not be said to exist, still many were
huddled together aud were suffering much
1t was suggested by Street
Warren that the subscrip-
ton list should be started at once. This
meeting, with prompt and hearty
response. the amount of $l92 was immediu
ately subscribed and Slit handed to the
mayor before the meeting dispersed,

GambIIng Denn.

A number Of low negro gambling
dens have sprung up in various parts
of the suburbs, and are just now claim
ing the attention Of the police. On
Saturday and Sunday nights they are
in full bloom. Their opera
tions are carried on with closed
doors and windows, and the utmost
caution is requisite to secure a gambler
and make a case. A raid was made
on one of them Sunday night, and
Officer Webb succeeded in arresting one
of the parties as he was slipping away
by the rear gate, but was unable to
make a case as a spy had undoubtedly
warned them in time to prevent him
from catching the parties in the very
act.

Campaign ISLANDERS,

Gallatin Tennesseean.l
The railroad organs have become
desperate, At the beginning OF the
canvass they tried every honorable
means imaginable to turn the tide
from Wilson, but failed. Now some
of them adopt the vilest and most
malignant mode known to man. With
the same spirit that induces the assas
sin to steal noiselessly to the couch Of
his sleeping victim, and with a sure
and deadly aim to plunge the dagger
to tho sleoper's heart, prompts these
magnates to SANDER Mr.. Wilson. They
accuse him of advocating communism,
When they say this they assert that
which is false, and the ones who do
say it are either ignorant Of the mean
ing Of the word or Intentionally assert
that which they know to be untrue.
Communism finds no Judgement 10 the
hearts of Tennesseeans, Thousands
Of them greet Mr.. Wilson every day,
thereby showing their endorsements
Of his views; therefore, as Wilson is
slandered likewise are his many
friends, Malicious SANDER can not
win in this contest.
