southern cities:

According to this table, Savannah pays
more for ice than any city quoted except
| Birmingham, and the difference between
Savannah and Birmingham prices is so
slight as to be insignificant Savannah
pays as much for twenty-five pounds of ice
as Charleston pays for ffty-slx pounds,
and one ton of ice costs in Savannah as
much as four tons cost in Charleston. It
is given as one of the reasons why ice is
cheap in Charleston, that the city is near
the ocean and can get natural ice by
vessels at low rates of freight, thus pre-
venting manufacturers from securing a
monopoly Yet Savannah is greater sea-
port than Charleston. Chattanooga pays
what may be called a medium price for
ice-less than half as much as Savannah
pays-yet the Chattanooga Times says,
upon the authority Of the manufact
urers, it is to be presumed, that there is
'fair money in the ice business on the
Chattanooga schedule" There is moth
ing in the claim that prices have been
forced up by a short crop at the north.
The president of an Atlanta ice company
is authority for the statement that the
harvest last winter was unprecedented;
that the natural ice cost the harvesters
from Is to Is cents q ton, and is for sale
at correspondingly low figures. The
secret of the high prices is summed up in
the one work, combine" There is no
desire on the part of anybody that the
ice concerns should become charity insti-
buttons. They are entitled to fair profit.
But there appears to be an unfair profit
in ice at cent per pound under 25 pounds,
IS cents for % pounds and Sc per ton.

Secretary Carlisle is making up little
statement that will be interesting read
ing. 1t will show that during Mr. Cleve-
lands first administration nearly one-half
of the division chiefs of the treasury de-
partment We're republicans. Under Gen.
Harrison every democratic chief, except
one, was removed and his place filed
with a republican, and, in not a few in
stances, democrats were reduced from
$500 places to make room for repub-
Leans. About all the occupants of the
81 800 places which are just inside the
civil service law, are held by republicans
appointed during Gen. Harrison's admin

rules, which require examinations, demo

Secretary Carlisle is pursuing the right
course. He is dealing with republicans as
the republican administration dealt with
democrats, only not half so severely. He

XIII of Spain, will arrive at New York
tomorrow, and will at once go to Wash

much talk in the newspapers in respect
to alleged difficulties experienced by the
state department in deciding upon the
honors that should be accorded the royal
visitor in her reception and entertain

tanned very little truth. The state de-

MYSTERIOUS TIDAL WAVE

Great Damage to shipping--A Gale
Blows in Illinois, Iowa and Missouri

CHICAGO, April s.--This city has been
the center Of some exceedingly peculiar
weather conditions. A severe hail
storm broke nearly all of the window
lights in the district from Thirty-irst to
Thirty-ninth streets, causing loss esti
mated at $150,000. Fred Glass, aged t2
years, and Mary McGee, aged IL years.
were run over by teams frightened by
the storm and may not recover. In the
vicinity of the stock yards all Of the tel.
graph and telephone wires leading south
from the city were blown down. A gale
almost approaching cyclone in sever
ity swept southern Illinois, Iowa and
Missouri, and much damage has been
done. The wind has in great measure
prostrated the telegraph wires and full
reports are not obtainable. IL is feared
that in remote sections there may have
been loss Of life, although so far none
has been reported.
A large structure being hastily run up
near the Worlds fair grounds collapsed.
Fortunately the workmen were all at
lunch and no one was near enough to
the frail building to receive any injury.
The building was 1875 feet square by 90
high and was intended for the Gettys.
burg panorama. When the high wind
struck the building it was seen TO trem-
BILE and then, with a mighty crash, fell,
flattening out even with the ground.
The Plymouth hotel, at Seventy-second
IoIa oil
collapsed. The building was one of the
largest in that district and was almost
completed. In its fall it crushed a one
story structure which was TO be used
for restaurant purposes and would have
been ready for occupancy in few days.
Both buildings were owned by William
Searls of Plymouth, Ind, and were val
ued at $25, 900. The hotel was one of
those light honey-combed structures
that have sprung up during the winter
months. 1t was three-story frame
building containing 165 rooms, offices
and parlors.
A huge wave swept into the mouth of
the Chicago river from the lake and
played havoc with the shipping moored
there ready to start eastward with the
opening Of navigation. Its cause is q
mystery. The wave was five feet high
from trough to crest and carried every
thing that fell in its path, A number of
vessels were torn from their moorings
and carried out into the lake, several
being sunk.
The fronts of three store buildings
were blown in and the buildings badly
torn, and two freight cars standing on
the Chicago and Northwestern railway
track were blown over and badly
smashed No one has been injured in
this section so far as heard. At Grand
Haven considerable damage was also
done to several buildings and to the
shipping interests in the harbor.
