Chicago, Ills, October 21.-The negos
tiations have practically been cons
cluded for one of the largest and most
powerful industrial combinations In
the United States. 1t is the centraliza-
ticn of the paving brick industry. The
combination looks not only to the NAM
ufacture but to the handling OF tho
product.
The forwarding of the plans has been
the patient and earnest work of soma
very wealthy and active promoters for
over year and is the result OF numer-
Gus meetings.
1t was only last week that the last
option was secured and this was on
an Ohio plant which for some reason
would not come into the combinations
The three prominent individuals In
carrying out the big deal are d. V. Pur-
ington, of Chicago. who is president OF
the Galesburg, Ills, Brick Company.
F. E. Kipp, the millionaire Stone
dealer, of Mansfield, o., and john
Mack, of Philadelphia, who controls q
large number of paving brick plants IN
the United States, located principally
in Ohio and Indiana.
The options on the various plants
provide for cash purchase. and it will
require ten millions Of dollars to carry
through the big deal.
The plants which are to become
parts Of the trust are about twenty
five in number and have in round num-
bers an output of three hundred million
paving bricks year.
The principal plants that will be In

the manufacture of paving brick has
resolved itself into situation which
renders 1t practically impossible for
small plants to compete with those

The effect Of this combination will be
a betterment OF the trade and will en-
able the concern to pay better wages to
employees. The trust viii have noth-

Several OF the parties who are In

Cincinnati, O., October Clone con-
tinuous ovation has marked the pass
age Of President William Mckinley to-
day over the States CT Indiana and
Ohio. Defying the wind and rain of a
most disagreeable day, the citizens of
these States have congregated in great
numbers at every station along the
line and never have they been disap
pointed, for the President has gracious
Iy appeared ,at every point where
crowds awaited his coming, to speak
few words to his constituents and re-
ceive their approving cheers.
Perhaps the most imposing demon
stration of the day was at Indianapolis,
where the streets through which
the President was driven . the
State House were damned with cheer
ing people. Here, on the steps of the
State capitol, almost within the shadow
of the statue of Thomas A. Hendricks,
the President delivered one of the most
striking and eloquent addresses of his
long western tour. In the course Of 1t
he paid graceful tribute to the mem
DRY of Hendricks and referred also to
ex-President Harrison, both of which
references were received by the people
with defening applause.
The desire of the President is always
to have the train stopped at every
point where any considerable number
of people are gathered to hear him, and
consequently the special train to-day
was sometimes far behind the sched-
uled time, but under the efficient di-
rection Of David N. Bell, who is in
charge Of the train, the lost time was
largely made up by fast running.
AT Connorsville, Ind, a two manhs-
old baby was handed over the railing
of the rear platform into the arms of
Secretary Wilson, who presented to
the President his youngest namesake-
William Mckinley. Another humorous
incident was when Secretary Wilson
was introduced after the President had
finished his remarks at Connorsville.
Twice Mr.. Wilson commenced to
speak and twice he was interrupted by
the starting Of the train. Then Secre-
tary Gage shouted: "The eloquence of
the Secretary of Agriculture starts the
wheels going" Amid great laughter
Mr.. Wilson then concluded his brief
address and the train pulled out.
Just across the line at Oxford, the
President was greeted by a crowd of
students in cap and gown
The last stop before Cincinnati was
Hamilton. Here the President j.
dressed a great crowd
The presidential train reached Gin
cinnati at 1870 and was transferred in
the suburbs from the tracks of the
Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton rail-
way to those of the Baltimore & Ohio
Southwestern. After the train was
transferred at the intersection of these
railways it backed into the Union Sta
ton, where the President bowed his
Acknowledgements to the crowd that
was in waiting, but made no speech.
The rain was pouring down while
the train was in this city, and during
the short time that the transfer was
being made here, there were but few
that knew the President was in the
city.
