WASHINGTON COURT HOUSE, OHIO, sept
11.1Congressman John Little, who has been
here two days examining into the situation OF
affairs, has made the following statement:
"The general course OF the tornado was from
the southwest Ia the northeast through the cen-
ter OF the city. Its general width was about
six hundred feet, with occasional breaks Ia the
right or LEFT. In it's course OF a mile and half

In two blocks alone the estimate OF damag
10 buildings has been placed by practical men
at S6O,3OO. The damages TO goods in these
buildings will not fall short OF $4,000. The
these are not covered by insurance. They fall
most largely, but not most disastrously, upon
the business men. The devastation will be
most severely felt by the poor. As many as
forty houses, occupied by poor families, were
utterly demolished. The relief committee esti-

dened To make their own necessary repairs.
Aid for the suffering poor must, therefore, come
from outside sources. 1t will require many

Maynard, Washington Court House, Will be
conscientiously applied 10 the relief OF the

HIS RELEASE FROM HAYTIEN PRISON.
Mr.. q. A. Van Bokken who, upon the demand
of Secretary Bayard, was released from prison
in Hayti, where he had been illegally, In viola
ton Of treaty obligations, confined for fifteen
months, is in this city to consult with the State
department with relation to the affair. Mr. Van
BOkken was an American citizen doing bust
ness in Hayn and was arrested by the Haytien
government and thrown into prison. The u. 8.
government five times demanded his release
matter in hand that his release was secured.
Meanwhile he was confined for fifteen
months in prison the horrors Of which,
he says, were indescribable, all classes
of criminals being confined together almost
without food and water, and surrounded with
filth of the most sickening description. The
Hayden government assumed an attitude of
defiance towards the State department, and
when they found such a course would not serve
with Secretary Bayard they delivered Mr.. Van
Bokken to the American minister quietly, and
three days afterwards addressed letter to the
American minister, stating that they still
maintained the independence of their courts
and allowed no foreign government to NEEDLE
in such matters, but that Mr. Van Bokken had
got at liberty in some way unknown to the
government Of Hayti. and that the matter
days after this the president of Hayti
stated to the "Senate and Chambers that he
had been obliged TO set the prisoner at liberty
upon the demand of Secretary Bayard.
MIR. Van BOkken has come here to thank the
State department for his release aud to urge
that indemnity tor the outrage be demanded.
The present American interests in Hayti are so
great that some positive action is demanded on
the part of this government to protect its citi-
ZeDS.

Cathcart against c. H. knight and Eliza
beth NJ. Daley was returnable. Mr.. III. B. Moul-
ton appeared for the complainant and Mr.. H. O.
Claughton for defendant. Mr.. Knight filed an
answer, in which he AYERS that Mrs. Cathcart is
in default, and that she allowed the insurance
to be in default January Both, 1885, and it was
paid February 11th by defendant {knight) for
his co-defendant (Mrs. Daley) and Mrs. Cath
cart had refused to refund the money but had
gone to the insurance office and paid it over
again. The answer further charges that she
failed to pay the taxes for the second halt OF

1885, when the defendant Daley paid it. Mr.
knight claims that he has done nothing
more than his duty as a trustee. Mr.

the payment of the taxes and the insurance,
and he had the tax receipts for 1885. AS for
the insurance, 1t was true that the officer to
whom she had paid the money had, since the
filing of the bill, offered to pay back the money,
