MISERY AFTER THE WIND.
CONGRESSMAN LITTLE MAKES
AN APPEAL FOR AID.

Contributions from the Outside Abso-
lutely Necessary to Prevent sewers
Suffering-Hundreds OF Poor People
LOse Their AIl-Merchants Only Able
to Look Out for Themselves.
WASHINGTON COURT House, o., Septs
11.-Congressman John Little, who has
been here two days examining into the
situation OF affairs, mas made the follow
ing statement: The destruction here is
not so generally sweeping as at James,
town, but Is vastly greater. The general
course of the tornado was from southwest
to northeast through the centre Of the
city. Its general width was about COO
feet with occasional breaks TO the right
and left in its course OF a mile and half.
In the town 1t is the exception where any
square escaped injury. In most OF themi
the damage to property is marked, and in3
some OF them fearful. The business pOr-
tions suffered the most; the damages vary
from the shattering OF WINDOWS TO every
stage Of demolition. II a single house in
this portion escaped harm l have not nos
ticed the exception.
$4,000 IN LOSSES.
In two blocks alone the estimate %
damage to buildings has been placed by
practical men at 5000 The damagesl
to goods In these buildings will not falE
short OF $4,000. No class Of property
escaped. Dwellings of all grades. public
halls, churches, and school houses fell
prey TO the fury Of the storm. The in-
dividual losses as shown by the estimates
OF the committee will exceed $780, and
these are complete losses, as trey are not
covered by insurance. They fall most
largely, but not most disastrously, up0a3
business men. The devastation will be-
most severely felt by the poor, who have
come in for their full share.
FORTY POOR FAMILIES HousELEss.
l should say that as many as 40 housess
occupied by poor families, were utterly
demolished. The reliet committee esti-
mate for all subcommittee have not vet
reported that 100 families will need as
sistance because of the losses incurred.i
some, as | know from personal ObservR-l
tion, are rendered destitute. Numbers OC
persons are on the street In borrowed
clothing. Business men, as a rule, VILE
be heavily burdened % make their own
necessary repairs. Aid for the suffering
poor must, therefore, come from outside
sources. IL win require many thousands
of dollars to alleviate the suffering, and
there should be no delay in furnishing it,
There Is no reluctance among citizens To-
AJAX for outside assistance.
SHOULD BE SPONTANEOUS.
They should not be required 20 ask. IL
should come without asking, and come
graciously. Winter is close at hand and
the relief committee, which Ii a most ex-i
cellent one, Will have ali IL can do with
all the needed funds at hand 10 provided
shelter for the needy by the time cold
weather sets in. Every dollar sent 70 tho
Chairman, Col. Ii. b. Maynard, Wash-l
ington Court House, will be c0nscien-
tiOusly applied to the relief Of the needy
poor. / trust that the necessity for
prompt assistance Will be appreciated.
GALE AT PARIS.
PARIS, Sept. ia terrific gale has pre-
vailed here to-day. Great damage was
done property and there were many
casualties.
Savannah morning news. [volume] (Savannah) 1868-1887, 1885-09-12

the windward of the Puritan the beauti-
full Boston boat seemed to become endow-
ed with intelligence, and began TO run
away from her adversary. So they held
their tack, standing well in toward the
shore until the hotels and cottages
of Long Beach and Point Lookout
seemed close aboard. 1t was to the Puri-
tan's advantage to stay IN smooth
water as long as possible, and when, at
1:l0 O'clock, the Genesta came about and
stood out to sea into rough water, those
on the Judges boat said: "YOu will see
that the Yankee won't tack, but she
did, after holding her lutf long enough to
bring her on the weather side OF the cut
ter, when she came about"
FORGING AHEAD.
Since the Puritan had begun to run
away under the lee of the Genesta, just
after the cutter had crossed her bows, she
had been steadily regaining what she had
lost in the light breeze and heavy sea.
Now as the two yachts were seen on the
port tack it was seen that the Puritan
was almost even with the Genesta on a
straight line and some distance to the
windward. The breeze came In over the
rolling waters from the southeast
and the Yankee sloOp crawled up ahead
Of the Gepesta, and increased her wind
ward position at the same time. AT 2:2l
O'Clock the Puritan was mile ahead. The
wind was failing rapidly again by
this time, and 1t was evident that there
would be no race. Nevertheless, as long as
there was the least possibility OF the
course being sailed within the limit of
seven hours, the committee could not re-
call the yachts. At 3:11 the Puritan
came about ON the starbOard tack and
was followed by the Genesta minutes
later. The white sails OF the Puritan
were gliding over the water
MILE AND A HALF AHEAD
OF the Genesta, when at 4;10 the Puri-
tan came about on the port tack and Ieav-
ing her competitor, which still held the
starboard tack, stood to the southeast.
This did not seem to work adyanta-
geOusly, and in ten minutes the headsails
Of the Puritan shook In the wind,
and she came about on the
starboard tack again. This maneuvre had
told in one way, however. The Yankee
slOOp WAS farther to the windward. At
5:25 both yachts came about, and it was
seen that the Puritan was so far ahead OF
her rival as to make her victory sure
and glorious one if the race could be fin
ished. Everyone said that the
FINISH WAS HOPELESS.
The Puritan rounded the mark at
5:3I :56, while chorus OF steam whistles
from the flOtilla of steamers greeted her.
A moment later her spinnaker was broken
out to port, making q beautiful picture as
she skipped away over the now almost
CLASSY surface of the undulatlng swells
toward the brilliant sunset sky in the
west. The committee, finding that it was
impossible to sail the race in seven hours,
took the Genesta in tow, while the tug
Scandinavian WAS sent TO bring the Puri-
tan into the Horseshoe.
ANOTHER START TODAY.
The yachts are to be starred at 1890 to-
morrow morning. The indications to-
night are that the weather will continue
light tomorrow.

MAYNARD REPLIES TO JOUETT
The Admirars Arguments Declared Not
Founded on the Law Records.


WASHINGTON, Sept. 11.-Second Comp
troller Maynard has written reply TO
Admiral Jouett in regard to the item of
S4OO paid for the entertainment Of visitors
to the flagship Tennessee at the New Or
leans Exposition, in which he reviews the
whole question in the light Of the points
raised by the Admiral in defense Of the
expenditure. He takes issue with the
Admiral on the point that the expendi-
ture could properly be made from the
naval contingent fund, and quotes from
the decision made by Attorney General
Devens that the words contingent ex-
penses as used in appropriation acts
mean such incidental casual expenses as
are necessary, or at least appropriate and
convenient, in order to the performance Of
duties required by the department or
office for which the appropriation is
made"
THE LAW AUTHORIZING THE ExPENDI-
TURE.
The Comptroller says that he has been
unable TO fnd any law which requires
either the Navy Department or any officer
of the navy TO entertain public officials at
the expense of the government, and adds
statement that II has been the practice of
accounting officers to'allow such disburse-
ments under the head OF contingent or
extraordinary expenses, but whatever
the practice In this respect may have
been, he says IL will be conceded that II
unlawful IL cannot too promptly be
discontinued. The Comptroller says,
further, that II money was received by
Admiral JOuett without rightfuI authority
he must be mistaken I'm his view that the
action Of the accounting officers In direct
ing the amount 10 be charged against
him IN his pay account is unauthorized
and unprecedented, as Jurisdiction is es-
pressly conferred on the accounting
officers TO make set offs Of this character
by sections 236 and 1865 Of the Revenue
Statute, and chapter 149 Of the laws
of 1875.
THE RECORDS OF THE DEPARTMENT.
The Comptroller adds that the records
of the Treasury Department will bear
him out In the statement that from time
immemorial IL has been the practice
where public officer has received money
belonging to the government TO which he
was for any reason not entitled 10 make
stoppage In his pay accounts until the
amount illegally received has been made
good. In closing, the Comptroller says
that II the Admiral conceives that any
part Of his salary is uDjustly withheld,
he can prosecute an action therefor In the
appropriate federal tribunal where all
safeguards of trial, according TO the forms
of common law, Will be insured to him,
ana where the legality of the expenditure
in question can be fully litigated without
reference to the action Of the accounting
officers

RIFLED BY A ROUTE AGENT.
Rudolph Dennick Makes His Last Run
Between Savannah and Atlanta.

hu0Olph Dounick mhkos itAs IAet huu
Between Savannah and Atlanta.
ATLANTA. sept. 11.-To-night the post
Office inspectors in Atlanta arrested
Rudolph Dennick, route agent running
between Atlanta and savannah, charged
with robbing the mails. For some time
Dennick has been suspected OF pilfering
the mails. A few days ago a package Of
q letters, containing three decOy letters,
was put up in Chattanooga IN one
package for Macon. When the package
reached Macon one Of them, containing
some money, was missing. 1t was found
upon examination that other letters had
been opened, some Of them containing
money, but none OF il WAS missing. Dem
nick reached here tonight from Savannah,
and az the train rolled into tho depot the
inspectors made the arrest. The lnspec-
tors, upon examination OF the pouches I'm
the pOst-Ofiice tonight, found over hun
dred letters that had been opened on the
trip coming 10 Atlanta. Some days ago
Dennick was notified that he would not
be needed after this trip, which probably
accounts for the large number Of letters
opened during his last ride as route agent.
Dennick refuses 10 be- interviewed. The
inspectors say that their evidence against
DenBiCk is sufficient 20 convict him, ana
give IL as their opinion that he has been
robbing the mails for some time.
