The tiny village of Georgetown, on the island of Exuma, took a direct hit. Police worried because its 800 residents had done little to prepare. Lili roared in as a sheet of rain, sustaining wind of 95 mph and gusting higher. There were no immediate reports of injuries. A few hours after.

Jobn Huang, who raised an estimated $4 million to $5 million for the Democrats from: Asian-Americans this year, remains on the Democratic National Committee staff but "has no current fund-raising assignments," DNC spokeswoman Amy Weiss Tobe said Friday. Huang, a former Commerce Department official, organized a controversial fund-raiser at a Buddhist temple in California last April. The DNC said Friday it was reimbursing the temple $15,000 for the cost of the event. Religious facilities are not supposed to play host to such events because of their tax- exempt status as nonprofit charitable institutions. Huang also once worked in Little Rock, for a member of Indonesia's powerful Riady banking family.

A network of people and companies clustered around the Riadys' Lippo conglomerate has contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars to President Clinton and the Democrats since 1992. The DNC also asked the Federal Election Commission to undertake an "expedited" investigation of some contributions the party committee received in the last two years. The request came in a letter Friday to the commission's general counsel, Lawrence No ble, from Joseph Sandler, his counterpart at the DNC: said Huang would be "devoting his attention" to providing information to the FEC for the investigation. His changed role "doesn't preclude him from doing fund raising" in the future, she said in an interview. In a related development, the Republican National Committee on Friday' returned a $15,000 illegal contribution from a Canadian company, Methanex, according to Roll Call, a newspaper on Capitol Hill.

The donation by the U.S. subsidiary of Methanex, the world's largest methanol proviolated campaign finance laws because the money was not earned in the United States, Roll Call reported in an article being published Monday. On Thursday, the DNC acknowledged it was a mistake for Huang and others to hold the fund-raiser with Asian-Americans at the Hsi Lai 'Buddhist Temple in Hacienda Tobe said Thursday the DNC erred in failing to report to the FEC the $15,000 cost of the fund-raiser as a contribution from the temple. At that time, she said the Democrats planned to revise their report but not to reimburse the money. Pitt Fall new 'rush' WEST MIFFLIN, (AP).

Workers at Kennywood Park in Allegheny. County have put the finishing touches on their newest ride, the Pitt Fall. Billed as the world's tallest freefall ride, the Pitt Fall towers 251 feet above the ground. "It is a real rush," said Rich Henry, Kennywood's director of facilities, who has taken the plunge on similar attractions at other parks. "It is a major ride." Riders are harnessed in open-air seats, raised to the top of a steel tower and then dropped toward the ground at 65 mph.

The ride is stopped by a magnetic braking tem. The Pitt Fall will make its debut next spring. Construction began in July at the former site of the Phantom Flyer, which was disassembled. The Steel Phantom roller coaster provides a backdrop. "It gives maximum thrills but does not take up a lot of space," said Kennywood spokeswoman Mary Lou Rosemeyer, who would not disclose how much the park paid for the ride.
