"All the sights and sounds and stories
and rumors were directly traced to the
same family of caretakers, the depredations
and assaults and trespasses. assisting to de-
preciate and ruin the property had but the
one origin, the object being purely selfish
one. to hold possession free of rent and all
expense. 1t did not take long to dispossess
them. and the place soon revived and even
became rather gay.

LAUREL NEWS.
Formation of Volunteer Fire Com
pany-Severe Storm.

Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star.
LAUREL, Md. July TO- 1902
Inc initial step toward the organization
of volunteer fire department for Laurel
was taken at a meeting of citizens of this
town held last evening a. the Town Hall
Mayor q. b. Timanus was elected to fill
the chair and Mr.. George Earle was
chosen to act as secretary of the meeting
There was a gOodly number of representa-
tives from the first and third wards but
not half a dozen from the Intervening Sec
ton. On motion of Mr.. James p Curley Of
the second ward the report submitted 70
the local board of trade by Assistant Fire
Chief William T. Belt of the Washington
department concerning the water works
system or Laurel together with many sug-
gestions for the organization of an adj
equate department, was read by the secre-
tary.
A committee of three. one from each
ward. was appointed by the chair consist
ing of MeSsrS. James Federline from the
first ward. H. f. Mccullough from the sec
and d. NJ. Fisher from the third ward
to prepare a constitution. A committee of
two from each of the three wards was also
selected for the purpose of listing the names
or nfteen persons as active members of the
several companies. This number Is to form
nucleus for the developing of the depart
ment. The committee named consists OF
Messrs. Robert Frye and Thomas Wylie
of the first ward. II. H. w. Thies and Chas.
Federline of the second ward and NJ F.
Tighe and George w. Waters, jr., Of the
third ward.
1t was suggested that as soon as practi-
cable steps be taken to equip each of the
carts with one cutoff nozzle. Another
meeting will be held Wednesday night of
next week. at which time the bylaws and
constitution will be submitted for the ap-
prevail of the members.
One of the most severe electrical storms
to visit this section In years passed over
Laurel and vicinity last evening. 1t did no
damage in the town. but a house situated
in North Laurel was struck more than a
dozen times part Of the roof was torn
on and the front badly damaged The
dwelling Is occupied by Mr.. Geo. B. Dashiell
and family. The members of the family
had retired for the night. but were quickly
aroused by the storm None Of the in
mates received any injury. but a neighbor
OF the Dashiells'. Mrs. Elmer White. living
about two hundred feet away, received a
severe shock. The damage to the dwelling
has not yet been computed.

THE SITUATION IN HAITI.
More Trouble Probable Before the Gov
eminent is Organized

1t is not generally known that Haiti took
part in the American revolutionary war. 1t
was then French possession. and France,
which made a treaty with the United
States against England and gave us La
fayette and Rochambeau. also gave us 500
Haitian volunteers. Count d Estaing was
authorized to recruit in the colonies, and
gathered together this force of blacks and
muattoes, which took part in the siege of
Savannah and the skirmishing there. Nor
is it generally known that the United
States neglected to recognize this republic
until the 25th of April 1850. At that time
the Senate of the United States. acting on
the recommendation of President Lincoln,
voted to recognize the government
The most interesting study at the present
time in the crisis of that country is its con-
stitution. 1t is probable that the present
election will not restore normal conditions,
but it is not at first apparent why. The
reason is this: the old government has gone
to pieces, and the provisional government
is not succeeding in its efforts to hold elec-
lions under the constitution. There are
five departments or provinces as We would
call them, and these are divided into aron-
easements and communss The depart
ments are the North. with Cape Haitien as
its chief city; the Northwest, with Port de
Paix the largest city; Artibonite. with
Gonaives as its center; the West with the
capital, Port au Prince. as its largest city.
and the South. with Les Cages The COM
munes elect the deputies or representatives
by popular vote. Each commune has at
least one deputy, but the number is in pro-
portion to the population. The chamber OF
deputies selects the senators from two lists
or sets of nominations. one of it's own sug-
gestion, and the other submitted to it by
the executive. The two bodies meet in one
assembly known the national assembly.
and it is the duty of this body thus assem-
bled to choose a presidon Of the republic.
With no executive properly organized
under the constitution, and with the cleo
lions not held in some of the communes,
the trouble will really begin when the
chamber of deputies attempts to assemble
to name senate. In all probability 1t win
be driven out, as was the former cham
Der. without having taken any action. At
least It does not seem possible for 1t to eject
a senate and president. That is the situa-
ton as indicated In the latest dispatches
which are beginning to attract as much at
tention as those from Cuba.
