Of q large inverted cone, and It could
plainly bs seen TO be revolving around
an imsRinary axis, aud at the same
time to be bouncing up and down through
the air, with wonderful and frightiul
speed. It grew denser, and the black

vicinity was now blowing with an almost
incredible velocity, ss the cloud was ap-
proaching, causing the standing coaches
to rock and sway on their trucks like

A History OF their Gsowth-sugar Heads
the List.
New YORK, Feb. 2O.-The Times to-day
publishes five.column history Of the va
sious trusts now known to be operating.
The liat is headed by the Sugar Trust,
value OF plants $15,0OO.OOO, capitalized ut
sixty millions and actual sales Of stock
at 80, indicating dividends on $4S, 900, 900,
the value Of the monopoly being therefore
$3S, 900, 900. Ten firms compose the con-
trolling interest.
The Castor Oil Trust is next on the list.
It has raised the price from 40 cents to
S. "a gsllon, but It Ia not very extern
siye affair 80 far as capital ia concerned.
School Hlates are "trusted" and have ad.
yanced III per cent in price; Linseed oil
has been advanced in price from SS cents
per gallon In 1887 to 81 cents now. The
capital OF the trust Is $l1 100000.
The Steel Rail Trust forced prices up
from $27 to $40 per ton, but have been un.
able TO keep them there and are now &C.
cepGng sal 50. Andrew Carnegie 10 said
to have made 5000 day for 800 days
while the price was up.
Inc Iron Ife trust 10 big affair, but
figures seem difficult to get concerning its
operations. 1t sssms pretty certain, how
ever, that the bulk OF the best ore lands
OF the country are In the hands Of the
syndicate. The Bessemer Steel Trust, the
PloH Trust and the Threshsr Trust are
doing well, hut figures are lacking. The
Steel and Iron Beam Trust Ia said to be
getting 1882 ton for what costs them
about $40 ton to make.
Tho Nail Trust 10 too recently formed to
permit Of figures being given, but prices
have already advanced.
The Wrought Iron Pipe Trust has put
prices up 23 por cent and put wages down
10 per cant. The Iron Nut Trust was
formed on January 20 and is quiet but

capacity OF $500, and it has been crowded
every evening since she has been there.
The interest in Mrs. Woodworth is not
confined to the town alone, but people
from miles in the country flock to hear
her, and 1t has been found necessary to
charge an admission fee to keep the crowd
within limits.
The exercises are opened with service OF
song, which ia conducted by three young
women, who asaiat the evSpRelist in her

WAsHINaToH, D. O., Feb. 20.-Congress'
man Hogg has prepared brief of his ar
gupent to be made this week before the
House Commerce Committee supporting
the bill transferring the Hospital station
from Gallip0lis to Pt. Pleasant. The points
are: First--The Ice Hsrbor, tho general
rendezvous of steamboats,, is at the Point
and was placed there by the Government
subsequent to the establishment Of the
marine hospital at Gslipolis; second, pa.
tlents from steamboats, in the harbor must
now be moved more than four miles and
be taken across the Ohio river, often Inn
passable from ice; third, in every other
instance, Government harboru for ship
ping and steamboats, are closely adjacent
to marine hospitals; fourth, the Govern-
mont owns no marine hospital building IN
Gallipolig, and the transfer will not enteA
any loss. It Is believed tho head OF the
marine hospital service will recommend
the transfer.

THE NATIONAL CONVENTION
ofthe Dsmocraoy-Ihe Cities that are After
the Gathering.

tno 1AtueEluks
WAsHExGroN, D. O., Feb. 20.-The dele
cations from the western cities are RS busy
as bees tonight striving to secure the
honor OF entertaining the next NstioDaI
Democratic Convention. The three prin'
cipsl delegations, Chicago, Ct. Louis and
San Francisco, are all located in WillRrd'a
hotel, and all claim to be confident Of
success. All three unite in declaring that
the convention will go West and assert
that the Cincinnati people realize that
their fight Is almost q hopeless one.
OF the three delegations, San Francisco
Ia most enthusiastic, and 1t is admitted
by the st. Louis delegation that tonight
the talk runs toward tho Pacific coast, bat
they assert that this Is due to the extraVa-
CANT promises that are being made.
The Chicago delegstes are the quieteSt,
but their plan Of campaign 10 we'll defined,
and each committee does what is allotted
70 It and rsports 10 headquarters without
making any noise. ~,
From the beet RnRlyais possible 1t would
seem that San Francisco expects the aup-
port OF all the country west Of the R3cky
Mountains and number OF votes in the
South. 1t is conceded that Chicago will
have the votes OF New England, with the
exception OF Massachusetts, which Is In
favor Of St. Louis. This, together with
the Northwest and some support from the
central section, will give the Lake City q
good showing to start With, and 1t expects
TO add enough votes TO secure the conven-
ton after ballot or two, and "flisl re-
spec" is given by committeeman to their
respective cities. st. LOUISE strength will
come from the Misaissippi valley and the
Southern states and Territories, and it is
said some Southern States favor st. Louis
ss o second choice after San Francisco.

WASHINGTON, D. O., Feb. 2O.-Mrs
Cleveland is looking forward with q great
deal of pleasure to the Florida trip.
Her iondness for travel and the de-
lighttul novelty OF luxurious passage, in
twsnty.iour hours, from the chill blasts
that sweep from the Bnow.clad hill about
Washington to the soft zephyrs Of the
land Of flowers, combine TO make the
prospect Of the trip most enjoyable ex-
perience.
Il will be the first trip to Florida both
for the President and Mrs. Cleveland. The
most elaborate arrangements have been
made for the pleasure and comfort OF the
party, A special car attached TO q swift
engine will have the right Of way from
Washington to Jacksonville, while the
President does not propose TO stop st any
cities On route going or coming except for
an hour or two at Savannah. The special
train will be run at any rate OF speed de-
sired by the party to enable them TO Wow
