“Behold how great a matter a little fire kindleth!” The explosion at the Haymarket made 3 widows, 14 orphans, and left 119 children dependent upon public charity, pending the recovery of their wounded, or perhaps permanently maimed and crippled fathers.
The business men of the city and railroad corporations promptly gave over $50,000 for the relief of the families of the officers who were killed and wounded.
