]. II. Hurlburt, of the Wall street
banking house of Hurlburt, Hatch &
Co., and Mr.. Chas. o. Brown, consulting
engineer, were in the city yesterday and
registered at the Mcclure. They are the
promoters of the Pittsburg, Conneiis-
Vile G. Wheeling railroad, and the OBJ
ject of their visit was to look up several
matters connected with the project, and
to consult Pittsburg bankers.
Yesterday morning they visited the
Riverside plant, and talked with Off
Gals of that concern relative to tae
amount of coal and coke consumed, and
other pertinent matters. 1t will be re-
membered that at the Board of Trade
meeting, the statement was made that
the road would be of such benefit to the
Riverside Company that it would justify
the building of the road to furnish fue.
to that big plant alone.
Messrs. Hurlburt and Brown visited
several other industrial plants and COL
lected data of considerable value to
them. They also drove over the sur
rounding country, and departing on the
afternoon train over the Hempfeld di-
vision of the B. & O. for Washington,
whence they will go to Waynesburg.
To a Register representative the gen.
tlemen stated that they had read the
Intelligencer publication concerning the
alleged intention of the B. & o. to build
connection to touch the coal fields,
and thereby destroy the usefulness OF
the p, C. & w. The gentlemen treated
the matter lightly. They stated that
with the proposed extension the p, c. G
W. would still be the shorter route by
about forty miles. They thought the
proposed B. G. o. extension was imprac-
ticable also from an engineering stand
point.
Mr.. Brown, in reply to questions as
to when work will be completed, ETC.,
stated that the promoters expected to
have the road finished in about year
All the preliminary matters are in good
shape. Some work has already been
done in Marshall county, but when the
work is started in earnest large forces
of men will be employed. Mr.. Brown
reiterated statements made by himself
and associates, at the Board of Trade
meeting, adding that the road would be
operated indefinitely, its facilities for
reaching the coal fields of western Penn
sylvania, and competing with other
roads, being of such superior char
acter as to render combinations with
other roads entirely unnecessary.

Judge T. J. Hugus has issued an
order that Thomas Lowry, the al
legged insane murderer of WIN. Travis,
be removed to larger and lighter cell,
and that he be provided with new
clothes. This order was made neces-
sary as the mans condition is some
thing awful He is losing flesh rapidly
and is not near as strong as he was
some time ago. His cell is filthy, and
his clothes hang upon him in folds. OF
late ne has taken a new turn and refuses
to talk to any one. When he has been
removed his old cell will be given a
thorough cleaning. The court warned
the officers to manacle the prisoner to
prevent him from doing them or him
self bodily harm.
Judge Hugus has ordered Clerk c. III.
Henning to prepare papers for James
Nolan, Charles Embrey and Eat Eye
Price, the men convicted of the robbery
of Bashear's cigar store, on Sixteenth
street, and they will be sent to Mounds
vile at once. The court also ordered

The weather bureau predicted cooler
weather in. the Ohio Valley yesterday.
We got it-but it wasn't enough to
hurt, and the drop in the thermometer
only came after a very severe thunder
Storm that did quite a lot of damage
in the city and cost one life, at Colerain.
Hail came with the rain but the stones
were only about as large as peas, and
the quantity was small.
The early morning temperature was
only II, as against 81 Tuesday morn
ing, and suffering humanity hoped the
official predictions would be verified.
Instead, however, the Thermometer be-
gan to climb and with sc at noon and
80 at D. m, the outlook was not prom
Using. Indeed, there was much suffer
ing from the heat.
AT half-past two, after a clear morn
ing, dark clouds began to gather north
of the city, with every indication OF
rain in that direction. About three
O'Clock the same indications were
noticeable south of the city, and these
separate and distinct manifestations Of
coming trouble met in the east, and
then the combined force of the elements
slowly drifted back over the city, pres
aged by much thunder and lightning
east and southeast. About half-past
three the storm broke. The rain fall
was not heavy, only amounting to half
an inch for the afternoon storm, and
90 for the additional rain after dark,
but it all came down at once, and the
lightning was particularly vivid, the
damage done being recorded in detail
elsewhere At ten o'clock last night the
mercury was so, the barometer 1882,
and a gentle rain was falling, increas-
ing later in the night. There was no
wind worth mentioning at that hour.

HOW STATES HAVE GROWN.

The population OF Michigan is more
than sos times as large as that given
for 1910, the date of the first census
taken in that territory.
Indiana holds second place in the
matter of phenomenal increase in pop
ulation between the taking of the first
and of the last census. The inhab-
itants of the state now number over
446 times what the returns gave in
1900.
. Illinois is third in this classification
Of the states, its population now num-
bering over 1902 times what it did in
1916. The close proximity of these
three states is worthy of note, as also is
their almost simultaneous settlement.
Minnesota comes fourth in such a
classified ton OF the states, but her rec
ord is really as wonderful as that of
Michigan. for it is to be considered
that her first census was taken as late
~ as 1850, at which time Michigan.'s
population was 397. 654, and Minnesota's
only 6,O77. Minnesota now has a pop
ulation exceeding 2ss times the latter
figure.
Mississippi has multiplied its popu-
lation 175 times within the century
just closed. The two Dakotas come
along each having at the present time
a population nearly $50 times as large
as at the first census taken in those
localities. The Dakotss' increase is
really larger, however. than Missouri's,
because the comparisons are made
with Missouri's census of 1910 and that
of the Dakotas in 1860. Ohio has
population 9lKs times greater than she
had a century ago, and Arkansas fig
ures show a population now 80 times
greater than in 1920,

CONCERNING VARIOUS STATES

All Of North Dakota's 80 counties have
increased in population in the past 10
years. Wells county has increased by
nearly 600 per cent. three other coun-
ties Billings, Mclean and PIERCE, by
nearly 500 per cent. The state has 70
incorporated cities, towns and vii
lagos.
The population of Nebraska is more
than 81 times as large as that given for
1860, the first year in which the popula-
ton appears in the census report. There
are about IL people to each square
mile. One county Boyd has shown in
the last decade a phenomenal increase,
the population now being nearly 10
times greater than in 1890. Nearly
two-ffths of the counties OF the
state have shown a decrease. One
county (Hooker) shows in the census
report an increase of only 6 for the
decade. Lincoln has population
over 3 times as great as in 1880.
Omaha's advance has not been nearly
so great, but South Omaha has grown
very rapidly, and mostly in the past
10 years. This latter city is over three
times as great as in 1890.
Illinois has an area of $4,000 square
miles, and for each square mile Gland
surface) there are SO inhabitants.
The past decade has seen a great
er increase in population than any
previous decade in the history OF
the state. This increase has lacked less
than 5000 of being 100000. Only 6
counties out of the 102 have shown
decrease in population. All the rest
have shown a rather steady advance in
the decade. There are 900 incorpo-
rated cities, towns and villages in Hi
nois. In 1910 Chicago had only 4,47O in
habitants. The city's present popula-
ton of 1.69s,575 is over 357 times the
former figure. Peoria is the second
city in the state, and then come in or
der the following cities: Quincy,
Springfield, Rockford, East St. Louis
and Joliet.
All of Minnesota's SO counties have
increased in population since 1890.
The largest increase is in Hen
nepin county, the largest percentage
Of increase is that of Beltrami, which
shows a population 3,435.3 per cent.
larger now than 10 years ago. The
state numbers 447 incorporated cities,
villages and borroughs. Three cities
Minneapolis, st. Paul and Duluth)
have over $4,000 inhabitants, In 1860
Minneapolis had 1854 against her pres
ent population of 2O2,71s. St. Paul had,
in 1850, Liz inhabitants against the
present showing of 163,O65. Duluth

THE - ORIGINAL STATES.

In 1890 the various states in rank
of populat ton were as follows: On Vir-
ginia, (2) Pennsylvania, (3) North Car
DINA, a. Massachusetts, (5) New
York, TO Maryland. ~ South Caro-
lima, Cs) Connecticut, (9) New Jersey,
(O) New Hampshire, (1D Georgia, (l2)
Rhode Island and (13) Delaware.
The order in rank Of these states has
onsiderably changed since the first
census, being now as follows: on
New York, (2) Pennsylvania, (3) Mas
sachusetts, a. Georgia, (5) North Car
DINA. (6) New Jersey, (O Virginia, (s)
South Carolina, (9) Maryland, QO) Con-
necticut, (1D Rhode Island, Q2) New
Hampshire and (13) Delaware.
Pennsylvania and Delaware are the
only ones among the original states
at the present time holding the same
relative rank in population as in 1870.
Pennsylvania is the only one holding
the same absolute position, being 2d
now as in 1890. Delaware is now 10th
in rank among the present states and
territories.
In 1890 Virginia was first among the
states, and New York 5th. New York
is now first and Virginia is 18th among
the original states and nth among all
the states and territories of the union.
Georgia has made the most notable
leap among the original states in the
matter of rank, being 18th in 1890, and
4th now among the original states.
Another notable fact in this same con-
nection is that in 1890 the population
of the territory now embraced in the
state of Maine and the population OF
what is now Vermont, in each case eX-
ceeded in number the population of
Georgia. Georgia is still 18th in the
column of states, as in 1870, and Maine
has been relegated to 30th place and
Vermont to 10th. Still another notable
fact is the rate of Georgia's growth
in the past lilo years as compared with
the rate of growth of the other states.
Georgia's present population is just
under 81 times what it was in 1890.
The nearest approach to this among
the 10 states is in the case Of New York,
whose population is about 81 times
what it was when the first national
census was taken.
