PoRT Huron mich J, September 11th.-
To the American People: We have tonight
returned from the burnt district of Huron
and Sanilsc counties. We have seen the
burned, disfsured and writing bodies of
men, women and children rough board cot
tins, containing the dead, followed to the
grave by few blinded, despairing relatives {;
! crowds of halfstarved people st some of the
stations, asking bread for their families and
neighbors.. We hear of more than a
hundred victims already buried.
More charred and bloated bodies
are daily discovered. Already more
than 5000 families are found to be utterly
destitute and houseless They huddle in
barns, in school-houses in their neighhors
houses, scorched, blinded and hopeless.
Some still wander bslf-crazed around the
ruins of their habitations, vainly seeking
their dead. Some in speeches. agony are
wringing their hands and refuse to be COM
forted. More than 10 COO people, who only
one week ago occupied happy, conforta-
bic homes, are to-day homeless and
houselsss sufferers. They were hungry
and almost naked, when found, and in
such great numbers, and so widely scattered,
that our best efforts and greatest resources
fail to supply their immediate wants. With
out speedy aid many VIII perish and many
more will suffer and become exiles. Our
people will do their utmost for their relief,
but all our resources would fail to meet their
necessities. We appeal to the charity and
generosity of the American people. Send
help without delay. f. c. CARLTON,
