and Allegheny met IN the rooms of the
Chamber of Commerce at 8 o'clock last
evening.
Dr. Oldshue presided, and DR.. R.. w.
Stewart was elected secretary. Upon call
ing the meeting to order, DR.. Oldshue ex-
plained the object of the call, which he
said was to procure volunteers to go to the
scene of the terrible calamity at moments
notice when required. Every physician
present at once unhesitatingly expressed
his willingness to go to the front as volun-
teer whenever needed.
The President then called for suggestions
from the members present. in reply to which
DR.. Huselton, of Allegheny, offered a reso-
luton to the effect that each physician, on
going to Johnstown, should provide himself
with case of surgical instruments, stimu-
lants, necessary medicines and bandages.
The resolution was promptly seconded, but
before the motion was put t-the question was
raised where the member going should pro-
cure the necessary articles. The Chair ex-
planned that the Chamber of Commerce
would furnish such material on requisition.
The resolution was then unanimously
adopted.
DR.. McCann then took the floor and
moved that each member present contribute
something toward the immediate relief of
the sufferers, and that the County Commits
sioners be requested to open the public
buildings, such as hospitals and orphan
asylums of the city, forthe reception of such
of the sick, injured and homeless that might
be brought here. Both motions were carried
unanimously.
A motion was adopted that the chair ap-
point committee to confer with the Ex-
of fha
tion as to what articles might be needed in
this or any other emergency. Miss Floing,
a nurse residing No. 20 Congress street, was
present at the meeting and volunteered TO
go to Johnstown whenever her services
would be required.
DR.. W. D. Kearns was elected treasurer,
and after adjournment the contributions for
immediate assistance were taken. In a
short while $431 had been collected, which
will be turned in to the general relief fund.
