ed As it was they started at the Mar
ket house well but had only got a
stream fairly started before the well
was exhausted. They worked arduous-

All day Sunday hundreds OF people
thronged the streets TO behold the
gloomy picture presented in the ruins,
and many heart ached as they saw in
the smoking heaps half the business
portion of the town. And this morn

be ascertained. This work of Editor
