WHEREAS, This camp has been provided at a
great expense for the express purpose of re-
ceving those persons who are unable otherwise
to provide tor themselves, from proximity to
the prevailing epidemic and affording them as
nearly as possible the comforts of home until
the epidemic shall have disappeared from our
midst; and

feeding nearly, if not quite, 10000 persons, in
providing work and paying =, 100 laborerS, with
the necessary drays, wagons, etc. for their

MR.. HOLIDAYS DEATH
Edward B. Holiday, who died at st.
Nicholas yesterday, was engaged in survey
ing on the Indian river when the epidemic
broke out. He was kept informed by the
office of the signal service, from day to day,
as to who was sick, and when he learned
that some members of his family were
among the new cases he started at once for
his home. His friends tried to dissuade
him, telling him that he could do no
good by coming, as his child would
either be dead or recovered by the time he
would reach home. He started in spite of
protestatiOns, and as the usual means of
travel were all suspended, he was compelled
to make the greater part of the Journey on
foot But with stern determination and
many difficulties re at last reached his home,
wherein a short time he was stricken with
the fever and died. He was 80 years old.
