THE ouMNock RELIEF FUND.
The Committee Reply to Superintend-
ent Cant's Statement.

To the Editor: Replying to Superin-
tendent Cant's statement appearing in
Yesterdays paper, we desire to state
that we find on lists filed that the
president of his company subscribed
and paid five dollars, while the superin-
tendent himself subscribed five dollars.
Whether these subscriptions were in-
tended for a donation from the COM
pany or not we are unable to say, but
we are Of the opinion that they were
intended for personal contributions,
as they are not otherwise specified.
We had not heard of the report that
DIR. Moore was not paid for his services,
but we well remember what was told
Mayor Russ by the sufferers in re-
gard to the services of the doctor who
set the leg of the young cripple Cole,
two or three weeks before the mine
explosion DIR. Moore, to the best OF
our remembrance, left Cumnock the
day after the explosion, and is there
fore not expected to know what trans
PRED between the sufferers and the
company or between the committee
and the company few days or week
later Approaching the superintend-
ent's kind words, in regard to the
honesty and good faith Of Mayor Russ,
we desire TO ask him If what we did
on this occasion was not honest and
in good faith? We would also ask of
him what right we had or what right
others would have had to attempt to
suppress the tones and words Of these
sufferers while speaking to the mayor
Such thing is absurd and could only
have been considered a gross intrusion
upon humane rights and American
liberty. As to the circumstances we
only know them to be bad, as also did
Mr.. Russ, and the only thing left for
us to do was to come to their aid in
relieving discomfort and woe. We
would frankly state that it is not, has
not been, nor never will be our inten-
ton to east reflections upon the com
pany, as they have cast Upon as, for
such can only be considered as against
the human rights
It has been our desire adj the while
TO give the company all credit due
them and public statement would
have been made ere this had the
superintendent given rs a statement
Of their donations, as he promised ms
to do. SO he can readily account for
the delay.
However, we learn that the company
are responsible for the doctor and
board bill Of the young crippled Pole
at Mrs Bentley's, and that they have
been and are yet furnishing free of
charge houses and fuel for the widows
on the premises. They are also fur
nishing TO rs, free of charge. one of
their former store-houses in which we
keep provision, clothing. etc, for dis
tributi0n to the sufferers as necessity
demands, and an appreciate The favor,
for we previously had 10 place 50 suit
able for such storage.
We regret very much indeed that
the new superintendent has seen fit to
throw off on us III such manner, when
il is remembered that only a few weeks
ago he commenced Us SO faporably to
the public. and we hope nc is TOO noble
to be misled on this matter by any
one. matters not who it be
