SUNDAY RELIEF WORK.
Day Was Rather Dull at All The Committee
Headquarters
FEWER ARRIVALS THAN ON OTHER DAYS
G. u. McMahan submits n Report of
the Condition OF the Terri
tory He Covered.

Although the headquarters OF tho sew
eral relief committees OF Houston we're
kept open yesterday the fact that the
day was Sunday seemed to cast an air
Of duliness around each. There we're not
nearly as many applications for relief as
on other days. but there can be no signiti-
csnce attached TO this fact, az the falling
off in calls iSr assistance is wholly at
tributable 10 the day. There is still m<h
work 10 be done in relieving the suffer-
ings OF the people who were impo or-
ished and rendetel destitute by tho late
storm and those who are acquainted with
the situation at It's present status are not
relinquishing their effurtG TO afford relief
MIR. G. e. McMahan. who was designated
by Captain S. Taliaferro to follow the
Gulf. Colorado and Santa Fe railroad from
Hovstcn 10 Virginia Paint for the purpose
OF ascertaining exact conditions, has COW
cred the territory assigned him, and yes
terday reported as follows:
