GIVING OUT THE SUPPLIES.
The system of requiring the endorse
ment OF the chairman Of the Ward Com
mittee upon all orders was adhered TO
Yesterday, and the work was thereby
systemaIized and only deserving cases
were relieved. About n hundred aud
fifty or sixty orders for provisions came
in, and as there was a good supply Of
STAPLES. the workers on duty were en-
abled to meet nearly all wants In the
way of food, except towards the last,
when freSt meat ran out, but about five
| o'clock, when the baskets sent by
Bloch Bros. came to hand, the chickens
took the place OF meat, and were
| highly appreciated. Some Of the
! scenes at the room were touching,
tears often running down the faces OF
women as they took the well-tilled bas-
kets. One woman, accompanied by a
lutte girl, walked clear from Glenn's
| run. and another Ome from CaldwelFs
run. They we're outside the limits OF
the Committees Jurisdiction, but were
so evidently in need that the rules were
| snspended and their immediate wants
were supplied.
Coal was delivered with more speed
than on Friday, about five hundred and
6fty bushels being sent out. There
| ara still a large humber OF approved
coal orders on hand, for delivery, and
volunteer teamSterS are still needed.
During the day Manager NJ. L. Wolf,
NJ the Telephone Company, placed a
telephone in the room, and it was used
10 good advantage throughout the day.
The headquarters will likely not be
omen on Monday, or il II is, it will be
tor only a limited time In the morning,
hut the work will be proceeded with
An day Tuesday, and thenceforth.
