Easterling. At Beauregard to-day all is
hustle and confusion. Gangs of men are
at work getting out goods from the wrecked
stores, and scores of teams are hauling re-
covered property away. The homeless
people have gotten together their remain
ing effects and are moving them in wagons
and carts. construction train is receiv-
ing the debris of broken box cars. A re-
lief committee headed by L. o. Bridewell,
is systematically at work issuing rations
and distributing clothing. Drs. Lehman
and Fitch are also assisting the wounded.
Assistance comes from Jackson, Utica and
other points.
In the rounds among the wounded sad
scenes are witnessed. The groans and
means are heartrending. 1t is particularly
touching to see little children, numbers of
them scarcely more than babies. Scarcely
a murmur is heard from the little ones
and none complained. One little girl
of three years wanted mamma to ''tome
and ff my arm" Poor, battered and
bruised little arm, no one could fix it but
mamma. and mamma was in the next
room all unconscious of her baby, hurt
unto death. There was ive-year old boy,
whose face was bruised and battered and
whose head was gashed by an ugly wound.
He was unconscious, but even with his
brain clouded and not knowing where he
felt pain, he moaned and rolled in bed.
The little boy is still unconscious tonight.
