ICE EiE.TLER5.
Notice to lce Consumers.

] desire to call tho attention of consumers OF
Ice To tho fact that | have on hand, and offer
for sale during tne coming sammer. from lOtO
TO 1909 tons Of Ice which will deliver to any
part of the city ut
LOWEST POSSIBLE RATES.
This Ice was collected in good condition from
the Pond south Of the Canal Basin; was formed
entirely from rain and spring water; is free from
mixture with vegetable matter and it would be
difficult to assign any reason why it should be
inferior in purity to Ice gathered from the rivers
of the North.
Ice cut from this Pond is now used at the resi-
dences Of Col C. F. Suite and John b. Dain-
gerfeld, esq, also at the Mansion House and
City Hotel, with ontro satisfaction to all.
In assuming to carry on more largely the
business pursued in small way for many years
by my father, l respe ctfully ask continuation
of the patronage which be enjoyed, with such
additional trade as my increased efforts may
seem to merit
Pr"prictors of Hotels and Restaurants, Con-
fectioners and other consumers of consi terable
quantities Of Ice will find my PRICES VERY
LIBERAL.
Orders promptly flied by applying at either

USPRovoKED AssAULr.-Yesterday in the Police
Court, one Timothy Martin, who holds the posiiioa
Of FIRST officer on board the W~haleship CorHeliHs
HOtiaad, was fined the Insignificant sum Of ten dol
lars and costs, for brutality assaulting q native on
board that ship, lying alongside the EsplAnade, on
the Kings birthday. II appeared that the native in
question. with others. natives and foreigners, was on
board the ship. quietly sitting down aud looking at
the regatta, when Martin, in the most u-nceremonious
manner attacked and kicked him sAvagely In the
ribs. Apparently to the surprise Of the valiant mate,
the native resented this treatment, and . number Of
his countrymen taking it up on his behalf, for q few
moments there was a prospect that the bully would
have been severely punished. Fortunately for the
public peace, some foreign residents succeeded in
p~acifying the enraged people, and the case went to
court. Had the man in question been a foreigner.
would Mister mate have thus kicked himl Not at
all; and his action tells all we desire to know about
the mans %cowardiy instincts. II is to be hoped that
the Government will see that no natives are shipped
on the Cornelius ROtOIand so long as Timothy Martin
is first officer Cor any other %oficer) Of that ship.
