tire population of Beaumont had
turned out to see the sufferers. The
opera house had been lit up, and COM
mittees were in waiting TO assign the
sufferers TO various places to be taken
care of. II was pitiable procession
that marched from the Southern Pa
cifc depot to the opera. house. Old
men and women, middle-aged people
and babies in arms were in the party.
They were sorrowful and detected,
many of them sick, others injured,
and all heart-broken. Little chill
dren were crying, some of them
hoarse from exposure, and many a
grown persons cheeks were wet with
sympathetic tears which flowed re.
sponsive to the sad scene presented.
Quietly the refugees were distributed
about and the meeting adjourned.
