STANDARD OIL TRUST.
DissOlves Before the Decision of the
Ohio Courts.

The announcement in Wall street. New
York, this morning that the Standard Oil
Trust is about to dissolve made decided
sensation in financial circles.
The managers of the Trust, after due
deliberation, have resolved upon this step
as the only way out of it's present difficult
ties. which were brought about by the
recent decision of the highest court of
Ohio, which declared that the Trust was
illegal.
Henry NJ. Flagler, Secretary of the
company, has issued call for meeting
of the certificate holders, to be held in
New York March 81, at which resolution
to terminate the trust agreement will be
voted upon.
The original companies of which the
Trust is composed will simply resume the
arrangement of their own affairs, and
will be again operated as separate COM
panies, just as they were before the or
ganization Of the Trust.
When the Trust was organized there
were only thirty certificate holders, but
now there are two thousand or more
scattered all over this country and
Europe. The majority of these hold
ings, however, is very small compared
with the amount held by the officers of
the Trust, who have amassed enormous
wealth through the monopoly which they
treated.

DEMOCRATS CONFER.
Davis in Line for McDermOtt-Dis'
trict Conventions and
Candidates.

A conference was held at Democratic
Headquarters last night by the leaders of
the party. The subject discussed was the
selection of delegates tonight for the three
conventions to be held. These conven-
tions will nominate candidates for Mayor,
Aldermen and Freeholders.
Three sets of delegates therefore will be
necessary.
1t was decided that with very rare ii
any exception no delegate to the Mayor
atty Convention should be an oft1ceholder,
and it was also decided that there would
be but one ticket in the field for dele
gates to the Mayoralty Convention.
The opposition of Justice Davis to the
nomination of Allan l.. McDermot5 mas
been Withdrawn, and as THE NEWS has
frequently stated Mr.. McDermott will
have no opposition in the convention, he
will be nominated by acclamation.
Each Aldermanic and Freeholder's dis
trict will hold conventions, and in some
Of the Freeholder districts lively time
is anticipated tonight. 1t is expected
that Frank McNally, in the Fifth dis
tr1ct. will make a hard fight to secure the
nomination. and he will be opposed by
Ed. Kenney, James Clark and James
Murphy. The latter Is not believed to
have any chance of obtaining majority
of the delegates, and it was said today
that he would use his influence in favor
of McNally, who is very popular. lie
has been yard master at the Pennsylva-
mia yards for a number OF years.
1t is now settled beyond any doubt that
Colonel Wanser will be induced to accept
the Republican nomination for Mayor,
He knows how hopeless the contest is,
and he does not want to enter into the
race, but he is thegeneral choice of his
party, and will. when rendered the nomi
nation next Thursday, accept 1t.
