In this city, besides the 5000 work
men, there are nearly 10000 dependent

1t is true there are large quantity of
clothing and food here, but it must also
be remembered that there are $4,000
mouths to feed, and at best the stock of
provisions viii not last more than three
days.
There are no stores here doing any
business, and as the neighboring country
is one that is not noted for its food sup
ply, it can readily be seen that the out
side public have plenty to do yet to see
that these people are fed and clothed.
The railroad viii not ship any goods here
by reason of the fact that there is no
place for storage, and they will not per-
init their cars to remain here. Not that
they could, however, but because they
can't, having no sidings. All that re-
main are the main tracks, which are
daily utilized for the carrying of relief
trains. You can't purchase anything
here other than the right to sleep on the
floor of a charitably disposed persons
house, which is in itself blessing, as
the danger of sleeping out these nights
might result disastrously to delicate con-
stitutions.
