Monrr Yersoit,- HI., Feb 20. The black re
volving cloud which fell from a copperish sky
in the southwest at 4:15 o'clock yesterday after
noon, and swept diagonally through the city
with a roar like the beating of a heavy sea
against a rocky shore, left nothing but bleed
ing bodies and heaps of ruins in its track. For
half an hour before the cloud dropped to the
earth the atmospheric conditions were such as
to affect bo h man and beast. Rain and hail
fell for fifteen minutes, and then the stillness
became oppressive. The atmosphere seemed
surcharged with .electricity. A peculiar, soft
yellow light fell upon everything, and spar
rows that had been flitting about the streets
during the afternoon suddenly arose to great
heights, and after circling around in the op
pressive airdropped into trees, where they ut
tered the most'discordant noises.
Meanwhile the clouds were passing through
an ominous transformation. From a bleak
grayish color the great billows became yellow
ish, then green, and finally turned a deep cop
per hue. During these rapid changes of color
the clouds became peculiarly agitated. From
the earth, toward which they were speeding
with terrible swiftness, they looked as though
they were locked in a titanic struggle. Per-
sons who were out of doors watched the ele
mental battle with mingled awe and fear.
8uch a grand spectacle in the heavens had
never been seen before in the doomed city.
Twisting and rolling like corks in a whirlpool;
the clouds eame nearer the earth until their
ragged, copper-bordered edges seemed to be
within an arm's reach of the cross-tipped
spires of the churches.
Ribbons of fire darted spitefully from the
tumbling, grinding mass, and then one of the
clouds, more terrible in its aspect than all the
rest, suddenly left the others, and fell to the
earth with a roar that startled every living
thing. Now black aa night and filled with in
numerable darts of electricity, the storm
cloud, with ita broad smoke-colored summit
buried in gold, and ita narrow base dipping
and grinding over the earth, swept through the
city with a deafening noise.
- Before the roaring cloud the air was choked
with dust and flying bricks and timbers. A
cushion of air was sweeping in advance of the
cloud, and aa it demolished the windows of
houses and stores the sides and roof a of the
buildings burst open as though they had bceu
shivered by explosions from within. ' The
storm cloud did the rest. It caught the tim
bers in its resistless fury, ground them to
Sieces, and then left the wreckage upon the
ead and dying.
The search for the victims was prosecuted
all night, and when morning came thirty-two
bodies had been recovered. Nearly all the
fatalities were in the east end, where houses
were mowed down in swaths. Scarcely a stick
Of timber remains standing in the path of the
tornado, and in some places the foundation
stones of buildings are broken and scattered
for 200 yards around. Sturdy shade trees were
uprooted and ground to fragments, picket
fence were broken as thongh they had been
sticks of maccaroni, and small outhouses were
swept out of Bight, leaving scarcely a splinter
to mark the place where they stood.

W. W. CORCORAN.
Peaceful End of the Aged Philan
thropist's Busy Life,
W. W. Corcoran died at Washington, Feb.
24, of senile bronchitis in the 90th year of his
age. - His end was peaceful. The duration of
his present illness was but two weeks, though
he haa been gradually failing for the past year.
Mr. Corcoran waa born in Georgetown, Dec
27, 1798. Hia father, Thomas Corcoran, was
born in Limerick, Ireland-and coming to this
country in 1783, married Hannah Lemmon of
Baltimore in 1788. The son at the age of 18
entered into the dry goods business with two
elder brothers. George Peabodv was soon
afterward taken into the firm. They were at
first successful, but under the stress of the
financial panie of 1823 failed with assets that
paid their creditors 50 per cent. Several years
later Mr. Corcoran began business again,
taking charge of tha real estate in the
District of Columbia belonging to ' the United
States, managing it safely and profitably until
1845. when he went into the banking business
with George W. Riggs in the building for
merly occupied by the old United States Bank
at Washington. The business was successful,
but Mr. Corooran's financial ventures were so
extensive that Mr. Riggs becoming afraid,
withdrew from the firm. Mr. Corcoran, carry
ing on the business alone, fonnd himself with
$12,000,000 of the Mexican war loan on his
hands in a falling market. He went to Lon
don, enlisted great banking houses , there in
support of a loan that seemed perilous, but
that subsequently rose to a high premium, and
laid the basis of a fortune that at the time of
his death amounted to $(,600,000. He retired
from active participation in the banking busi
ness in 1854, and found plenty to do in the
management of his own property affairs. He
bought large tracts of real estate here, erected
buildings, increased his income in every direc
tion, and began those works of philanthropy
which will make bis name remembered by the
side of his early partner, George Peabody.
Plana of benevolence seem to have taken the
foremost place in his solicitudes of later years.
The fruition of some of them are seen here in
the beautiful Oak Hill Cemetery in George
town, the Corcoran Art Gallery in this city,
with its magnificent endowment, the "Louise
I Some for Impoverished Gentlemen, the name
indicating his love and memory for a wife and
daughter, both of whom are' dead, countless
gifts to churches, church homes, rich benefac
tions to colleges and nui versifies and theologi
cal seminaries, ceaseless contributions to in
stitutions of public charity, besides thousands
of dollars given away to needv individuals. It
is estimated that Mr. Coreoran's charities, in
cluding private ones, exceed in the aggregate
$3,000,000.
Mr. Corcoran has long made his home in
Washington the seat of an elegant hospitality
and a centre of social influence, the favorite
meeting place of scholars, artists, statesmen,
diplomatists and distinguished strangers.
Mr. Corcoran iu 1835 married Louise Amory
Morris, daughter of Commodore Chas. Morris.
Mrs. Corcoran died five years later. The first
child, a boy, died when an infant, and an only
daughter, Louise, who married George Eustis
(brother of the present Senator Eustis), died
in 1867, leaving two sons and a daughter, who
will undoubtedly inherit the bulk of Mr. Cor
eoran's fortune.
POORENGLISH FARMERS.
Evils Resulting from Depression in
Agriculture.
Mr. Chaplin," Minister of Agriculture, re
sumed the debate on the address in reply to
the Queen's speech. He commented on the
prolonged depression in agriculture, and said
that the subject was of greater importance than
the Irish question, forming perhaps the great
est problem of the time. It was a question
which the Government mnst inevitably deal
with at no distant day. The loss by deficient
agricultural values was estimated for the year
1885 at 42.000.003; it could not now be less'
than 50,000,000 an amount equal to a reduc
tion of one-fourth in the export trade of the
country.
Many thousands of acres of laud have gone
out of cultivation, and there has been a con
current decrease in cattle and sheep. Another
effect of the depression was to increase the
masses of the unemployed. Reliable estimates
showed that 700,000 persons were idle owing
to the paralysis of agriculture, while those
who were employed were found to work at
greatly reduced wages. What could the Gov
ernment do, he asked, to assist to a better
state of affairs? He presumed it was not by a
return to protection.
It was not for him to indicate remedies. His
object was to ascertain from the Government
what the farmers had a right to expect from
them.
Lord John Manners, Chancellor of the
Duchy of Lancaster, admitted the terrible
condition of agriculture, but said tho Govern
ment had no specific against its depression. He
hoped the improvement of general trade;
symptoms of which were now apparent, would
lead to an improvement in the condition of
the farming interests. Too little attention
had hitherto been given officially to agricul
ture. The Government, therefore, had decid
ed to ask the two Houses to give their assent
ta a bill creating a department of agricu,"
ture.
Honduras Mastodons.
A large number of mastodon remains are
being found in various localities. They are
mostly imbedded in the alluvial drifts accumu
lating in the valleys in the interior portion of
Honduras. A complete mastodon was excavat
ed some years ago in the neighborhood of Dauli
by the government geologists. Tho Depar.
ments of Copau, Ssnta Bar bar and Comaya
gua contain manv localities where mastodon
remains are found. The mastodon of Honduv
ras ia of a larger size than that found in the
State of New York, near Cohoes.
Anti-Sugar Trnst Syndicate.
- Anthentio statement is made at San Francis
co that the sugar syndicate formed to fight the
Eastern Trust has been finally completed, and,
it is stated, will commence operations with a
paid-up capital of ten millions. Those outside
of California parties principally interested re
side in New York, Boston, Baltimore, Jersey
City and Philadelphia. -

Mr. Corliss was born in Easton, N. Y. " He
never saw the inside of a machine shop until
he was 25 years old. He. went to Providence
in 1844, -and in 1816 began the development
of his steam engine improvements, and in 1848
completed an eugine which embodied the es

He carried away the highest competitive prize
at the Paris exposition in 187; was presented
the Rumford medals in 1870, the late Dr. Asa
Gray, President of . the Academy, making
the presentation, and won the grand diplo

strength of foreign builders who made exhib

himself not being present or represented as

THE ELEVENTH CENSUS,
Its Special Interest as the Centen
nial Census.
The Fiftieth Congress . must prepare the
plan and make the preliminary appropriations
for the census to be' taken during the year 1890.
On the first day of the present session Repre
sentative S. S. Cox of New York, who has mads
a special study of this question, introduced a
bill providing for the appointment of a com
mittee on the subject. The eleventh census
possesses an unusual interest from the fact
that it will also be the centennial enumeration;
and numberless important comparisons will be
based on its statistics, not only as soon as these
shall have been completed, but from time to
time during generations to come, in order to
ascertain and set forth ,the details of the
growth of the American Union during its first
hundred years of existence under oar present
form of government.
All the more necessary, therefore, doos it be
come to avoid the numerous and mortifying
mishaps, shortcomings, and failures which
marked the preparing and publishing of the
tenth census. The fundamental need is not
to undertake more than can be seasonably
carried out. so that there may be no repetition
of that dragging along of published results
years after their nominal date, and when they
had become quite stale, which formed a lead.
ing feature of the tenth census. The managers
of that task were evidently overwhelmed
with their work. The eleventh census cannot
afford to yield to all sorts of requests from in
dividuals, corporations, and public conven
tions to compile and tabulate facts which will
add enormously to the contemplated labor and
cost. In some cases such requests come from
amiable cranks, who think Governments are
largely established for the purpose of satisfy
ing their personal curiosity for the solution of
comparatively unimportant as well as difficult
questions. In other cases those who want .in
formation are engaged in occupations in which
minute statistics of various sorts cert be turrij
ed to their personal emolument, if collected
free of cost to them. .
The machinery oi the tenth census was
overburdened.. The cost of taking and pub
lishing it was in excess of what had been ex
pected, because it covered so much ground,
and Congress was continually called upon for
extra appropriations. Its publication dragged
on for years, and some of them have not been
made yet. The three quarto volumes of the
ninth census bear date 1872. The first vol
umes of the tenth census did not come along
until 1883, and then formed only a small part,
although, it is true, much the most important
part, of the results. A compendium in 1883
fortunately supplied a portion of what .was
not given in full until a year or several years
later. An article by Gen. F. A. Walker, in
the current number of the Quarterly Journal
of Economics, gives a list of these belated
publications.
"The issues of 1884 were volumes 5 and 6,
comprising the result of a great statistical, ag
ricultural, and economic investigation of the
cotton culture of the United States (the bare
figures of acreage and crop having been con
tained in volume 8); volume 7, Val tation,
Taxation, and Public Indebtedness; volume 8,
Newspapers and Periodicals, Shipbuilding,
Alaska and the Fur Seal Islands; volume 9,
Forest Trees and Forest Wealth; volume 10,
Petroleum, Cokex Building Stones, and the
Quarrying Industry.
"There were published in 1885, volume 11,
Mortality, Statistics, Part 1; volume 13, Statis
tics and Technology of the Precious Metals;
volume 14, Mining Laws; volume 15, The Pro
duction of Coal, Copper, Iron, and the other
Useful Metals; volume 16, Water Power em
ployed in Manufacturing, Part 1. Published
in 1886, volume 12, Morality Statistics, Part 2;
volume 18, Social Statistics" of Cities, Part 1;
volume 20, Wages, Trade Unions, and Strikes.
The four volumes remaining unpublished in
1887, for which an appropriation has been asked
(as hereinbefore recited), are as follows: Vol
ume 17, Water Power, Part 2; volume 19, So
cial Statistics of Cities, Part 2; volume 21,
Statistics of the Defective, Dependent, and De
linquent Classes; volume 22, Reports on Ma
chinery used in Manufactures."
Some portions, then, of the results of the
tenth census are still unpublished, while the
eleventh census is already under consideration.
The deficiency appropriations made necessary
by unexpected expenses have been dropping in
upon every Congress for half a dozen years.
Gen. Walker gives this as the comparative
cost of taking and compiling the tenth census,
wholly exclusive of the expense of printing,
which last was necessary to make it useful:
"The cost of the ninth census, 1870, was in
round numbers, $3,360,000, exclusive of print
ing and engraiug. With the population of
that period, tho per capita cost was, therefore.
8.71 cents per head. The cost of the tenth
census, including both enumeration and com
pilation, but excluding as in the former case,
printing and engraving, was $4,853,350, which,
with the population of 1880, vields a cost per
head of 9.68 cents.
"The cost, per capita ' of inhabitants, of the
last four censuses, exclusive o printing and
engraving, was as follows:
Seventh census,1850 5.84 cents
Eighth census, 18W 6.25 cents
Ninth census, 1870 8.71 cents
Tenth census, 1880. ". 9.68 cents
There is no reason why the experience of the
tenth census should not be sufficient, if proper
ly used, to avoid repeating its mistakes. One
adyintage is that some exhaustive and valu
able papers prepared for it can be used over
again by merely bringing current statistics up
to 1890. The tenth census was too .ambitious
and comprehensive. It lacked proportion.
It was a case of being overwhelmed with ma
terial. With the eleventh census the first need
is that of comprehensive organization by men
who can fully grasp and control their work and
lay it out completely. It should undertake
only what can be done thoroughly and well and
published pr mptly. Then it will be a worthy
centennial census.
MILLIONS INVOLVED
Mrs. Burton's Claim to Lower Cal
v if or nia Lands;
Great excitement in real estate and business
circles exists at San Diego as the result of two
telegrams received from the city of Mexico.
The International Land Company of Mexico
was incorporated in Hartford, Conn., for the
purpose of selling an 1 deve'oping lands in
Low r California. Edgar I. Welles of New
York is president of the company. Through
the company's San Diego office lands have
been bought in Ensenada, San Carlos, Pnnta
Bnena and other Lower California towns
t.i the extent of $7,000,000. The land waspur
elmseil largely by small settlers and emigrants.
Recently there has been a controversy over the
title of the lands sold. The contestant
is Mrs. Burton, who derives her title from her
mother, Ysabel Ruisse.
The lauds were converted to Don Jose Man
ual Ituisse by the King of Spain in 1834. In
December, 1859, Mrs. Burton's title was con
firmed by the Mexican Government. On
April 4, 187, Carlos Paceheco, Secretary of
Public Works, issued .am order giving new
titles to the laud in question, in which it is
stated that "new titles of ownership be issued
to the Mexican International Colonization
Company, of Hartford, ( onn.," said lands be
ing situated in Lower California, between the
thirty-first and thirty-see nd degree of north
ern latitude, and constituting the rustic prop
erty kuown undi r t lie uamo of the Ranch of.
Ensenada de Todd's Santos. Mrs. Burton, who
is now an old woman, has labored for 18 years
to regain possisniou of this property. ' She
found no transfer records in the city of Mex
ico, but recently presented to the Mexican
Government the original deeds and claims, and
ou the strength of these President Diaz has
revoked the order of April 4, 1887, which fact
was made known here to-day by the receipt of
i wo telegrams from Mrs. Burton's attorneys in
Mexico. .
The tract of land to which Mrs. Burton has
made cbtim, and which is known as the "En
sen ida de Tortos Santos," comprises about 300,
V0 acres, i it whi.'h are several large towns,
The company had already receeived to date
:ilont $2,000,000 in cash for lands. The largest
single purchase was that , of a lady who put
$40,000 in the investment. The other pur
chasers ranged from $500 to t5,900. The com
pany has sold upward of $7,000,000 worth of
land on the installment plan. If Mrs. Burton's
claims are allowed, all of the titles issued by
the International Company will be null and
void, and thousands of small settlers and in
vestors will be ruined:
Mrs. Maria Burton is the widow of Gen.
Henry S.. Burton of the United States Army.
He was a fellow-cadet with Halleck and Ord.
He came to California with Stevenson's Regi
ment in 1817. Mrs'. Burton herself is still a
handsome woman of commanding presence.
She is as well known in Washington as in San
Francisco. In both cities she and her dashinir
daughter, Nellie, made a sensation in social
cirel s. She wrote a romance of Spanish Cali
fornia life ca'led -'The Squatter and tho D.m,"
in which she bitterly satirized some of her ene
mi s. ' She is' also the reputed author of the
novel "Democracy," descriptive of Washington
political life. s
Capt. Warner's Sealers.
. Capt. Warner, the owner of the four British
Columbia sealers seized in Behring Sea .. last
year, writing to a friend at Ottawa, says it will
take over $3.000 to bond his vessels out, and,
besides having to appeal the. cases to a higher
United States court, ne must give bonds for
the costs and agree to abide by the decision of
the courts. He says he cannot see his way
clear to regain possession of bis schooners at
these figures, and that if he cannot seal '"with
them they will bo useless property. The Alas
kan authorities have-appraised the vessels so
high that the Anna Beck is the only one Capt.
Warner could take on the terms asked. The
W. P. Sayward has been brought down from
Sitkt to Puget Sound and is advertised to be
sold on April 1. "

A CHURCH TRUST.
An Idea that Emanates from the
Nineteenth Century Clnb.
To the Editor of the Sun:
Your article as to the discussion in the Nine
teenth Century Club on sectarianism and ita
futility fails to notice a distinct proposition
made by me to facilitate that extinction of sec
tarianism which was desired by all. I venture
to restate my plan a little more at length, and
to ask a place for it in your columns, as con
taining the, germt perhaps, of a valuable re
ligious movement in accordance with the spirit
of the age. r . i . .
.1 advocate tha formation of a Religious
Trust to prevent sectarianism, as follows; 1. A
committee of .responsible and devout men, un
der whose care all the sects shall be administer
ed. When a church is called for, let the trust
be appealed to, and let it decide whether the
church is needed or not. ;
2. Then let the people desiring a church be
called together and decide by a majority vote
whether the church shall be after the Presr
byterian, MethodiBt, Episcopalian or what
ever denomination, wexti let tne majority ex
pressly agree to abide by the decision of the
majority.
3. Let the committee have power to close
the churches of all names which are not at
present self-supporting (especially in towns
where they are more numerous than the num
ber of inhabitants calls for), and turn the
revenues to the better support of the stronger
bodies.
4. A basis of population should be fixed as
the least number at souls for Whom a church
should be provided or permitted.
5. As all the sects are to be thus amalga
mated, they must each consent to forego the
emphasis which each lays upon its peculiar
tenet, as the Baptists Oh immersion, the Epis
copalians on apostolic succession, the Pres
byterians on predestination, the Methodists
On falling from grace, and the. like. Most
differences may be held like differences on
"the bodily presepce in the sacrament,", pr on
ritual or any other view inside of the consoli
dation. 6. If no sect will accept this basis, it is be
cause the present sectarian feeling is too
strong to permit its reasonableness to be seen,
and all the talk of clergy and laity deploring
sectarianism is still merely sentimental, and
aims at no practical result. ;
7. The interests opposing such a consolida
tion are, of course, strong, as, first, that the
various church organizations furnish a living
and a means of power to many clergyman
whose importance might be destroyed; and
next, that each church claims a kind of ex
clusive divine sanction to its own special ten
et. This last might be waived, however, on
the ground that after much controversy the
distinctive tenet of each had not proved itself
strong enough to convince the rest, and, there
fore, would not be indispensable to a religious
organization.
In business matters and national affairs just
as great interests and rivalries have been
merged successfully and to the common ad
vantage. How much more might success be
expected in the reconciliation of bodies whose
prime duty it is to preach peace and good will.

Misery. It is instructive to note from th
catalogue of diseases that nine-tenths of
fatal cases reach their chronic stage through
a stupid indifference to a correct treatment
when the system is first assailed. It is easily
shown that thousands of lives could besaYed.
NEBVOtS PAINS.
Torture. For instance: Sciatica, which so
sorely afflicts the human family, and which
in iloHnprl tn Vw nenrnlcia of the BciatiaV
nerve, rheumatism of the hip-joint, or parts
adjoining it, hip gout, pains in the loins and
hips, even in its mildest form never seises
its prey without due warning.
SYMPTOMS.
Acute.-Sudden and acute pnins in the hip
and loins; redness, swelling, tenderness,
soreness, fever, lameness and sometimes ex
cruciating pains. The disease rapidly devel
ops into chronic or inflammatory stage.
TREATMENT.
Cufe. Rub the parts affected thoroughly and
vigorously with St. Jacors Oil; create a
burning sensation by the friction of rubbing
on the Oil; apply warmth; Hannelfl wrung
out in hot Water. v
