GENERAL WASHINGTON DISPATCHES.

WASHINGTON, D. c., September 1.-THE
Second Comptroller Of the Treasury, has
made a decision denying the motion Of
counsel for the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road Company, that the accounts of that
company for the general transportation of
soldiers and supplies during the Civil war
be re opened. The application was based
on the grounds that the company was sub.
jected to extraordinary dangers in
trsnsscting the business OF the govern.
ment and was therefore entitled to more
liberal compensation than was allowed
when accounts were settled. The Comp
troller refused to reopen accounts for the
reason that they had already been set
tied and because no new evidence was pre-
sented to Justify such course. He also
made the point that the property of the
company, instead OF being eopardized by
the business OF the Government, was in
fact protected thereby

DEsTITUTIoN FROM THE STORM.
A Statement OF the Needs of the Suffering
Poor at Washington G. IL.

WASHINGTON C. Il, O.-September H.
Hon. John Little, Congressman of the
Eighth district, who has been here since
Wednesday noon, furnishes the following to
the papers this morning
= "The destruction here is not so general as
at jamestown, but is vastly greater. The
general course of the tornado was from
southwest to northwest, through the long
way and center Of the city. LIS general
width was about six hundred feet, with oc
casional breaks to the right or LEFT. In its
course OF mile and half in town il is the
exception that any square escaped injury,
In mos. .ot them damages to property are
marked, and in some fearful. The bus-
ness portion suffered most. The injuries
ranged from the shattering OF windows to
every stage Of demolition. If a single
house in this portion escaped harm, have
not noticed the exception. In two blocks
alone practical men have estimated the loss
to buildings at $6O,3O0 The damage to
goods in these will not fall under $2O,009
No class Of property escaped. Dwellings OF
all grades, public halls churches aud school
houses fell prey to the storms fury. The
individual losses, as shown by estimates OF
committees, will exceed a quarter of mil.
hon dollars. These are total losses, as they
are not covered by insurance They fall
most largely, but not most disastrously,
upon business men.
Where the Suffering is Felt
The devastation will be most seriously
felt by the poor. who have come in for their
full share. l should say rs many as forty
houses occupied By poor families were ut
terly demolished The relief committee es.
timate-tor all the sub-commiuees have not
reported-that hundred families will need
assistance because Of losses incurred
Some OF them, as know from per
sonal observation. are rendered destitute
Numbers OF them are on the streets in bor
rowed clothing The business men, as a rule
will be heavily hCrdered to make their own
ne necesssry repairs. Aid for the suffering poor
must, therefore, come from outside sources
It will require many Thousand dollars 10 al
leviate and prevent suffering and there
should be no delay in furnishing ii. There
IS reluctance among citizens to ask for
outside assistance. They should moi be re
quired to ask. 1t should come without ask
ing, and come generously. Winter is close
at hand, and the Relief Committee which
is a most excellent one, will have all it can
DO with all needed funds at hand, to pro-
vide shelter for the re,e 8 ,ous in cold wes h
er. Every dollar sent 10 the chairman,
COL II. B. Maynard, Washington c. II
Ohio, will be conscientioasly applied to The
relief of the needy poor. | trust the neoes-
sity for prompt assistance will be aPpreci-

CLAY CoUNTY'S SCOuRGE
Investigated and Stated to be Bloody FluS
New Cases Reported.

Special TO ne Elgisia.
CLAY c. H., September There has
been a partial investigation on the part of
the local board of the nature and character
OF the disease that has destroyed go many
lives in sparsely settled district Of this
county within the past two weeks. The re-
port to the State board will state that tie
disease is what is commonly known as
bloody hux, in malignant and contagious
form. That in the magisterial district in
which it is chiefly confined, which usually
polls about l59 votes, there have been over
One Hundred Cases.
The majority of these have been children
although not confined to them as several
adults have died from the effects Of the
disease. Of these hundred cases, twenty
five have died. 1t was stated by the
Charleston papers that a corps OF physicians
from that city had started to the infected
district TO give assistance, but they failed to
put in their appearance. Some OF the cltl-
zens OF the district are very much disgrun'
tied about the quarantine, but the Board Is
determined to put it in force.
Circuit Court convenes here next Mon.
day, and there are two felony cases on the
docket, both of which occurred in the in.
teGted districts. The Board has ordered oil
Jurors and Witnesses summoned to attend
court from that district to stay at home, un-
less further ordered TO appear By the Court
1t is hardly probable that the disease is
abating. There are several cases not ex-
pected to live.

broken out to-day, (Sep:em5er H. and two
deaths. The citizens are asking for aid.
