An CcknOwn Woman On the Soath
Side Drowned Thursday Night.

4 runor was aaoat yesterday morning
that Mrs. George Richie, who lives at the
corner Of Main and Twenty.third streets,
had been drowned. After various fruitlesS
efforts TO discover the truth Of the matter
on land, our sailor set sail and went to the
residence of Mrs. Richie, where che was
seen safe and sound, but upon landing and
inouiring on the opposite side Of the street,
Mr.. james Jackson informed the scribe
that il was true that the woman had been
drowned in the vicinity of their house.
The family was in the house at the TINS,
which was about 9 o'clock Thursday night,
when they heard cries of help from q
womsn. The whole family Immediately
rushed for the window, and saw hum An
being floating far below the house, carried
on by the swift current, but making dss.
perate struggles to reach something on
which she might be safe, sbut her efforts
were in vain, and she 10 doubt sank be.
meath the seething waters and her body
washed away. Any attempt to save her
sould have been fruitless, unless Q boat OF
some kind had been in the immediate
reighborhood and heard her cries. As IL
was, not craft Of any kind was then in
the vicinity, and without such 1t would
have been sure death for anyone to have
attempted her rescue. The name of the
woman Is unknown. and it colld not be
discovered, as No ohe kpeE fro N whsnos
he came or hos sde had fallen into the
water.

THE RELIEF WORK.
Row the Sufferers Were Cared ior
About the City.

Row the Sufferers Were Cared for
. About the City.
A visit to the Market hall at ten O'Clock
last evening revealed sight never before
seen in Wheeling. Along both sides OF the
long room had been strewn piles Of straw.
On these were thrown mattresses by the
dozen, and on the mattresses were stretched,
in the deep slumber which comes only OF
exhaustion, hundred men, women ana
children. Here could be seen little fami-
" whose home and all had been swept
syav, there some wsnderer, driven from
his accustomed hsuuts and forced to seek
the shelter afforded by kindly authorities.
In one place could be seen group
of women, some with babies
in their arms, talking earnestly
together; in another a little knot OF
men relating the experiences OF the past
few days. Taken as whole those gathered
10 the hall would have been taken by cas-
ual observer as one of the groups often seen
in the great emigrant centres OF the West,
instead of q body of men who but three
short days ago were the happy and con-
tented possessors of pleasant homes" One
thing, however, was evident at q glance
and that was that all the important wants
of the sufferers had been attended to and
that none were suffering. During the
day, that is at breakfast, dinner and sup.
per" said one Of the noble-hearted ladies
who had kindly lent their time and means
% tHa nf a
REGISTER reporter, I'VE have fed nearly
FIVE hundred hungry people, and 1t would
have done your heart good to have seen
them eat"
Other places where the homeless people
were cared for and given food and shelter,
were the Fourth Street Methodist church,
the Zane Street Methodist church, the
First Presbyterian church, the Lutheran
church, and st. Matthews Episcopal
church. But at none OF these were there
10 be found the number OF people Congre'
gated at Market House hall. In some IN,
stances only two or three families coulo
be fou: d in a church. This, however,
added TO the comfort and convenience Of
those thus provided for.
at the Fifth ward school house, where
some $50 are being cared for, the scenes
were nearly similar. The ladies OF the
neighborhoOd were early there with aid,
which was afterward supplemented by the
relief committee. Early on the hrst mora
ing DR.. Reeves found gang hudd!ed IN
the empty street cars and took them into
bis empty building and had blazing fire
made. Al first the school house cou Id not
be opened, as one of the commissioners
could not wakened," his wife said, bn'
Mr.. Maxwell afterward had it thrown
open, Bedding was furnished for the
women and children, while the men slowed
| themselves about as best they could. In

These scenes were duplicated at other
relieving stations.

SHSOT THEN DOWN.
Arm, 100 Extra Men and Let Them
Tire Ennn the Thieves.

There are many beings in this city who
have sunk to such state OF moral degra-
daIon tLat they will steal from men sut-
fering even as our drowned-out citizens
arc. Several cases were reported from diff
feren, sections yesterday, and public in
dignation was reused to the highest pitch.
The trouble is that not enough special po.
lice were appointed. There was difficulty
in getting good men, but certainly they
could have been procured. On the
Island, various unknown men, in
skina, were pulling about all
night on unknown missions, and were
suspected Of robbery. The six extra men
on duty there were helpers. There should
have been four times that number. A
good suggestion has been made, for to-
night, as the danger will still exist: Let
one hundred extra men be appointed and
armed with muskets from the State House;
let them have instructions 10 shoot down
any marauding thieves found plundering
the deienceless buildings. This would not
only prevent future plunderings, but would
act like charm in the way of warning.
Let it be done.

II there was suffering on the lslsnd,
there was misery in the Eighth ward aud
the stories from there come up shuddering
With the horror they bear. Last night,
Capt. Noise came up and told fearful
story Of the woe and want existing there.
At least five hundred families are living
in the tops of submerged buildings
and many of them have tasted
no food since the flood came.
Only Messrs. Noise, Reymanu and Phil
lips were there, OF the committee, and they
could not begin to supply the wants. Peo.
ple would stretch their arms from open
windows and cry piteously for bread, but
there was none. One thousand loaves OF
bread must be down there by 9 o'clock this
morning and the committees must see to
il. Fifty distributing men should be down
there early, with abundance OF food, leav-
ing the ladies to attend to the centre OF
the city, which they can easily do. 1t

there and bring OFF the sufferers, but she

NECESSARY MEASURES
For Protet ttion OF Health-A Hospital
Necessary


Yesterda{ afternoon q REGIsrsR reporter
called upoH several physicians aud re-
ceived son1e interesting and valuable
points, whifh all persons expecting to move
back into dfenched houses would do well
to read carefully. DR.. James E. Reeves
gave some tpecially pertinent suggestions.
Only the most watchful care and stricte,t
measures eah prevent a great and disas-
trous sickntbs throughout the flooded dis
trict, as people will be compelled to a. once
move back into their houses.
In the 6rst place, begin cleaning before
the water Is entirely gone. Get hrooms
and scrub tie wood work and let the water
carry off al the heavy deposit Of mud.
Many cellaristhat are connected with sew.
ers cen I'd this way be readily
cleaned and without any great
expense. Do not fail to tear away
the saturated wall paper. The water con-
tains all Kinds of poisonous matter floating
in it, and much of it will cling to the pa.
per. Let not an inch of saturated paper
remain.
lit can possibly be done, put up stove
in the cellar as soon as the water gets out.
We are still in winter and the walls will
not otherwise dry. II you have stove rig
it up end let the smoke escape in any way
it can Build good fires in every damp
room and use every effort TO dry out your
house without loss OF time. These meas
ures, properly taken, may prevent sickness
and suffering.
There is smother matter that should re.
ceiye proper at tho hands OF the relief CON
nittee. In spite of oil and any precau-
tions there will certainly be a large amount
Of sickness. Many people will be unable
to properly prepare their homes and others
will fsil to do so, but in either case there
will be many sick people to be cared for,
ard the committee must attend to them.
TIE hest thing to be done is TO establish
hospitals, either a large central one or as
many local ones as may be necessary. By
so ding the work to be done will be con.
cen.Iated and the labor lightened:
Further than that, there are many physi.
clans wko will gladly volunteer their serv-
ices to attend the sick, and by getting them
as nearly together as possible the labor will
be reduced to the minimum. At presen t
there are many families caring for the
homeless, but they could no longer be alb g
to do so il their guests become sick. A
hospital will then become an imperative
neces ssity.
In the Fifth war, for instance, there are
several ouil6..:gs that could be used for the
purpo--c. The Hearne property, corner
II Maine and Twentieth streets would be
an excellent place, and the Eoff property,
on Market, vacated by DIR. Cooke, would b1
~nother. This is worth thinking about,
gentlemen OF the committee.
To support such a hospital, or hospitals
as long as necessary, the New York plan
could oe adopted, viz: That of taking week.
ly collections in the churches.

they remained firm, and this was
the majority of cases, the damage and loss
are confined to the injury done to furni-
ture and interiors. This damage is not
special TO the Island, but occurs wherever
a house was flooded, and netd mo- be en-
larged upon now. Many other houses,
withstsnding the water, were damaged by
the heavy ice and logs floating on the cur
rent, which tore and disfgared them. MS
Pollock's house suffered much from this,
and is the only house damaged, on North
Front street. South FroDt, in spite OF its
exposure, was not materially hurt and
Wsgeners was the only house displaced.
The swift current bore toward back river,
and houses in that direction, most suffered.
Ed. Fsris' house, ON South Huron, ls over
turned. Tim McCarthy's house, on wa
bssh, is carried of, with $500 in gold. G..
BuIketts house, next door, is also gone.
A block of five houses, belonging to Dea-
cen Stone, and located on Delaware street,
between Wabash and Huron streets, all
TWO story frames, have disappeared. w.
II. Ssdler's house, on Ohio, has been lifted
to the middle of the street. MRS. Currys
house, once 13 s. Broadway, is now up
sgainst Lakes house. a block away. Cia,
tors house, on the corner of Virginia and
South Huron streets, is now up against q
McClements. on Ohio. A long frame
house, unrecognized, is lying across Vir-
ginia street, at South York. Another I'M
known house is lying in front OF Harry
McLure's, on Ohio street, while the drift
logs, Just below, are fairly covered with
stray chickens. South Penn caught much
Of the current and the yards are filled with
outhouses Of every description. Robert
CampbelPs new stable is lying, inverted, in
the alley back of Virginia street. A new
frame house, as yet unoccupied, is lying
on its side on Ohio street, between South
Huron and South York. Three thousand
feet of dressed pine were caught and Sc
cured in front of Sam Norton's house.
These losses are in addition to those a.
ready mentioned, and there are others
which cannot now be listed.
Among other Island heroes who deserve
special praise are Will Wheaton. George
Umphrey, Tom Young and the Dressell
brothers. go
The Island has been well supplied with
eatables, and it is believed no one went to
sleep hungry last night
