Noble Hearted Uitizens Reiievine: Sufferings of the Poor. The call for a citizen meeting lest Saturday night to provide moans for alleviating the sufferings of the poor was liberally attended. Mayor Baudel was made chairman of tho meeting and Surveyor Hunt, secretary. Speeches were made by Dr. Tucker. Capt. Elmore, T. L. Stilwell and others, setting forth the distress prevailing among hundreds of our citizens and suggesting means for issistance. A committee of gentlemen had spent two days in visiting the homes of destitution. Their reports of the misery and suffering right hero in our midst could scarcely be believed.
An infant child in a colored family living in the north part of the city had succumbed to the cold while the others half starved, half naked members of the family sat weeping and shivering over the remains. A widow with a largo family of children was found living in a hovel west of tho college without food or fuel. Their condition was truly pitiful. Another family near the Junction was found in a like condition except that two of the family were prostrated with pneumonia. A family of eleven was found with two crusts of stale bread in the house and ono old blanket to cover all of tliem. Some were sick, others nearly naked and all barefooted.
They were huddled together in onr corner like a drove of hogs. Dozens of similar cases wero reported, and in all were found about 50 families in absolute want. The most pitiful sights were those persons who wero too proud to beg, but whoso blanched, pinched faces told only too well of freezing and slow starvation. Many of this class were found. After hearing these reports the following resolution was adopted and committees appointed:
Rf.solvki),
OUR DESTITUTE. Brazil, spent Sunday
that we request the pastors
of each of tho churches to announce from their pulpits that there now exists much suffering among the poor in our city: that sonic are bare foot, and many are Hick and without food or luel: that aid ought to be given at once: that articles for relief, clothes or money maybe left at the Mayor's otlico. or with any of the following committee:
1st ward John L. Coben. B. F. Lane, Mrs. James P. Walter and Miss Bertha Wilhite.
2nd ward—Michael Price, Charles Ross, Mrs. Ann Nolan and Miss Emma Thomas.
IJd ward--Chas. W. Elmore, Alba 11. Braden, Mrs. James H. Watson and Mrs. A. F. Ramsey.
Monday morning the. Mayor's office presented a peculiar spectacle. luge piles of clothing of every description, boots, shoes, caps and wraps almost filled tho room. A committee was on hand to receive the donations and dispose of them load after load among the sufferers, All day long tho room was thronged with shivering children, tearful, trembling old women and decrepet men and each in turn received kindly attention. Tho finance committee succeeded in raising about 8-10C which went to purchaso fuel, food and medicine. Too much credit canhot be given those in charge and our noble citizens who contributed so liberally. Crawfordsville always takes care of her poor.
