WASHINGTON COURT HOUSE, Ono,
Sept. II Hon. John Little, congress
man of the Eighth district, who has been
here 3ince Wednesday noon, furnishes
the following to the papers this mora
ing: The destruction here is not so gen.
orally sweeping as at jamestown, but it
is vastly greater. The general course of
the tornado was from southwest to north.
west, through the long way and in the
center of the city. Its general width
was about 600 feet with occasional
breaks to the RICH! or left. Ia It's course
Of a mile and halt 1t is an ex-
ception that any square escaped
injury. In most of them damage to
property is marked, and some fearful.
The business portion suffered the most
The injuries ranged from the SCATTERING
of windows to every stage ofdemolItion.
If q single house in this portion escaped
harm l have not noticed it. In TWO
blocks alone practical builders have es-
tlmated the loss to buildings at 100000;
damsgesLo goods in these will not fall
under $4,000. No class of property es-
capped. Dwellings Of all grades, public
halls, churches and school houses fell a
prey to the storms fury. The Indlvid-
ual losses, as shown by estimates of the
committees, will exceed a quarter of d
million. These are total losses as they
are not covered by insurance. They fall
most largely, but not most disastrOusly,
on business men. The devastation will
be most seriously felt by the poor, who
have come in for their full share. As
many as forty houses occupied by poor
people were utterly demolished the
rellef committees estimate that one
hundred families will need
assistance, because OF the losses
incurred. Some of them as | know from
personal observation, are rendered des-
titute. A number are on the streets in
borrowed clothing. Business men, as q
rule, will be heavily burdened to make
their own necessary repairs. Aid for
the suffering poor must therefore come
from outside sources. It Will require
many thousand dollars to prevent sui
fering end there should be no delay in
furnishing it. There is a reluctance
among citizens to ask TOR outside
assistance. They should not be required
to ask. It should come without asking,
and come generously. Winter is close
at hand and the relief committee, which
is most excellent one, will have all It
can do with all needed funds at hand TO
provide shelter. Every dollar sent to
the chairman, Col. H. b. Maynard,

scientifically applied to the relief of the
