ROCHESTER, Aug. 23.-All OF Rochester
not actually employed in the care Of the
dead and injured by the terrible cyclone of
tuesday evening, worn out In body by
their twenty-four hours OF uRtiring and
unremitting labors in searching the debris
OF the demolished buildings for ths victims
and in caring for them when found, and
sickened at heart with the terrible scenes
Of suffering encountered, went to bsd early
last night. fortunately the night proved
most propitious for rest, as we'll as for the
suffering living victims, being unusually
cool and invigoratin2.
This morning the sun shoae out in a clear
SKY, bright and warm, with only sufficient
air stirring to mildly temper the SUMS
rays. The magnificent weather, backed
by a good nights rest, and the early morn
lug report of the surgeon, mo deashs
during the night and all the injured but
Two or three doing exceedingly we'll and
promising speedy recovery" created q
generally more hopeful and buoyant spirit
among the people, Which manifested
itself early in the day in q
away the tin roofs, telegraph wires, limbs
OF trees and other debris of the wrecked
structures, which had been allowed undls-
turbed possession OF the streets in the
devastated district, and also IL the COM
mencement of repairs where possible, and
in preparations for rebuilding in many in
stances whore total destruction had oc-
Cured.
RELIEF WORK,
At the same time the general relief COM
mittee appointed at the meeting Wednes-
day, had gotten their work systemized.
This general committee consists
of twenty-one leading citizens, with
Judge Start as chairman, and Rev. W. G.
Rice, as secretary and treasurer, and is
divided into several divisions as follows:
soliciting committee which has already
collected from citizens some $1,000 for
the sufferers. Then there is general hos
pital committee, which has personal
charge of the injured in the general hos
pital IN charge of DR.. Berkman, who, with
his able and interchangeable assistants is
leaving nothing undone that skill or care
can provide for the benefits Of those in
their care. Another committee is engaged in
canvassing to ascertain the exact losses sus-
tanned, and still another is looking after
food, clothing and general supplies, so ur-
gently required.
All the committees are devoting all their
time to the performance of their several
duties, IN which they are heartily seconded
by Mayor Written, Senator D. A. Morrison
and citizens generally. Already in add.
ton to the general hospital, as above,
there has been opened relief dining hall
at 251 Broadway, and to-day work was
CONNIE need on temporary frame strucs
ure, centrally located in the devastated
district north of the railroad, where the
most complete destruction occurred, fol
the accommodation of those families who
are in condition and propose to repair o,
rebuild their wrecked homes.
The prompt action of many of the mu
inequalities of the state to the appeal TO,
aid sent out by Mayor Written, has had g
good effect in encouraging our citizens
Your city, as has always been the case, was
the first to respond in this noble duty, and
when word was received through Mr.. D.
Moon, of Allen, Moon g. Co., wholesale
grocers, Third and jackson streets flor.
merlY resident of this city, that st. Paul
had sent $4,000, great load was removed
