Some, after giving, added again to their contributions, There was promptness and earnestness in the way the assemblage re- sponded to the call of necessity and want THE PRESIDENTS SPEECH. In opening the meeting President Harrison said: “Every one here to-day is distressingly conscious of the circumstances which have con- vened this meeting. It would be wholly super- fluons for me to attempt to set before you more impressively than the newspapers have already done the horrors attending the calamity which has fallen upon the city of Johnstown and the neighboring hamlets in a large section of Penn- sylvania situated on the Susquehanna river. ‘The grim pencil of Dore would be inadequate to portray the distress and horrors of this visita tion.

While I talk men and women and children are suffering for the relief which we plan to give to-day. “A word or two of practical suggestion and I will place this meeting in the hands of those who have assemble here to give effect to our loving purposes. I have to-day had a dispatch from the governor of Pennsylvania advisinj me that communication has just been opene with Williamsport, on a branch of the Susque- hanna river, and that the losses in that section have been appalling; that thousands of people there are hungry and homeless and penniless, and there is immediate urgency for food to re- lieve their necessities, and he advises me that any supplies of food that ean be hastily gath- ered here should be sent direct to Williams- port, where they will be distributed. I suggest therefore—and the occasion is such that bells ‘might be rung in your streets to call the atten- tion of the thoughtless to this great exigency— that a committee should be appointed to speed- ily collect contributions of food in order that a train loaded with provisions might be dis- patched to-night or in the early morning to these sufferers. “I suggest, secondly, that, as many of these Foenle have had the entire furniture of their houses swept away, and have now only a tem- porary shelter, that a committee be appointed to collect from your citizens such articles of clothing, especially bed-clotiing, as can be press and now that the summer season is on there can hardly be many households in Wash- ington that can: ‘O REASONABLE OFFER REFUS did new house on 4th st. n.e.,one square st Capitol st.; owner wishes to’ leave cit: inventinent apply ut once to DAVID D.

A tender was made by the Adams express of free transportation of relief supplies and funds to the scene of the disaster. It was announced that the employes of the eel department would contribute one lay’s pay. An entertainment at the National theater for the relief fund was announced, and Mr. Droop stated that the National theater would be given free of charge for relief entertainments. He would assist in getting up a concert. On behalf of the Lamont opera company a tender was made of the services of the company for any night that might be selected. THE HEADQUARTERS, It was determined that Willard hall should be the central and distributing point for cloth- ing, but that provisions and other perishable articles should be taken to the Baltimore and Ohio depot or the warehouses of the Adams and Dnited States express companies. Messrs. Woodward & Lothrop tendered the use of their wagons to haul donations from any part of the city to the hall or depot. Arrangements for taking care of the articles contributed were intrusted to the District Com- missioners, who will have capable men at the railroad depot and express offices to see that goods are properly shipped, The headquarters of the relief committee will be at Willard hall. Five barrels of crack- ers were donated by F. A. Kennedy & Co, ADDITIONAL MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE. The following have been appointed addi- tional members of the committee to receive subscriptions: W. B. Webb, W. C. Dodge, Dr. E. A. Adams, M. I. Weller, Rev. Mr. Chester, Ambrose H.

Schaak that one day he was with King and Fairburn in a saloon on Division street, and that a man came there and gave King and Fairburn a lot of money from a big roll. When the man who gave the | money went away Woodruff asked King who that was and King replied: “That is the great lawyer, Alexander Salli- van.” Woodruff insisted that the wagon was driven through Lincoln park, as the original idea was pe oe Cay 8 est censstion among the. audience, and his story, which was rather commonplace at first, became of intense interest and was listened to in silence. “MazoR” SAMPSON'S TESTIMONY. Hardly less important than that of Capt, Schaak’s testimony was that of “Major” Samp- son, the well-known thief, who swore that Coughlin had offered him to “do up” Peet eT by that of another crook who was with him at time.
