REPUBLIC SPECIAL
Austin. Tex, Sept. H.-In addition to the
Galveston plea for assistance there were
number of relief committees from other
points entertained by the Governor to-day.
The one from Velasco stated that there
were 1000 destitute there.
Alvin reported 5000 destitute in the neigh
borhood. The Columbia district reported
2500 destitute. and several other towns re-
ported in proportion.
Fort Bend County made a report of 1900
destitute persons in that county alone.
In response to these reports Governor
Sayers ordered bacon and flour sent to Gal
weston. to Richmond. to Fort Bend County
sufferers and to Angleton, Velasco and Al
win In quantities ranging from 10000 pounds
of -four and 100 600 pounds of bacon for Gal
weston to 5000 pounds of -four and 5000
pounds of bacon as an emergency supply
for Alvin.
More supplies will follow tomorrow, and
1t is expected that in addition thereto the
supply trains from the East will arrive in
Galveston tomorrow. which will tend to

gave a dramatic entertainment at her home
for the benefit of the Galveston sufferers.
She enlisted the sympathies of her little
girl friends and between them they evolved
a programme that satisfactorily amused an
audience of 900 persons.
Tickets were sold at the rate of 10 cents
for adults and cents for children. After

Miranda Jones and Martha Brady. All live
in the immediate vicinity of Marie Haney
and her sisters. and are their associates
and intimate friends.
The programme consisted in a variety Of
songs. dialogues, bits of children's dra-
matte compositions. and a cake walk. Marie
Haney, because of her position as the in
stigator of the good work. was given the
title of leading lady, of the unusual
troupe. and she did justice to her desigDa-
ton, though all the performers came in
for their full share Of applause
Marie Haney is a daughter of William F.
Haney, who is connected with the National
Stock Yards in East st. Louis. In 1896, the
cyclone year. the family lived on the East
Side, and were directly in the path Of the
great storm. Their home was wrecked and
the inmates of the house narrowly escaped
with their lives.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Haney disclaimed to
a reporter any responsibility in having aid
ed or helped in any way to get up the en-
tertainment. "On the contrary" said they.

thing"
