Ice from the Kennebec river.

The Kennebec Reporter Of Gardiner, Me-, notes
the fact that the Independent Ice Company
have their houses on tho Kennebec River we'll
filled with fine quality of ice, so that they
can give their costumors in this city pure
article instead of leaving them dependent for
their supply on the Ice cut on the Potomac In
close proximity to the sewer drainage Of the
city. The company, having regard for the
health of the citizens of the District, proposes
to furnish them nothing but Konneboc River
ice. The Kennebec River is fed principally
by Moosehead Lake, and the ice is pronounced
by the medical fraternity to be as pure rs any
in America. The Independent Company have
very extensive works at South Pittston, on
that river and arc enabled to deliver their leo
to customers in this city at q price only five
cents per 100 pounds higher than Potomac ice.
1t will not take long to discover the difference
in the quality of the ice, especially in cases of
sickness when the slightest impurities may
have very serious results The success of the
Independent Company is quite wonderful.
Though largely n Wholesale company, and hav-
ing great facilities for handling ice, the mana
gers have concluded to give consumers the adj
vantage of their labor and skill in producing
northern ice at cheap rates so that people in
this city can have, delivered at their house, ice
brought directly from the Kenncbec River.

An Enthusiastic Temperance Gathering at
Odd Fellows Hall.
A prohibition temperance mass meeting was
held ut Odd Fellows Hall yesterday afternoon.
The attendance served to show the interest
that is taken in the temperance movement rs
the hall was crowded almost to sutIocation.
Tie audience consisted of representatives of
every grade of society, and was very enthusi.
astic. 1t was a genuine popular gathering, and
all the speakers recognized this fact, Hon. D.
p. Holloway presided, and seated upon the
stage were Hon. ". S. Brewer, of Michigan
Judge Smell, J. b. Dunning, Rev. j. L. Rankin,
f. NJ. Bradley, Joseph Savage, Judge 5. c.
Mills, Mrs. Lincoln, and other well known
temperance people. On covered table n hand.
some basket of flowers, presented by Mrs. Pres.
idpiit Hayes, was displayed.
Hon. Mark 5. Brewer was the first speaker
and during his address was frequently inter.
rupted by applause. Among other points
made by him was one that SO 100000 were
spent annually In the District Of Columbia for
liquor alone. Had this money been used to
serve suffering humanity there would be few
beggars seen in our streets. If this money
were taken out of the hands of rumsellcIs and
diverted 10 other channels these men would
have to give up their neiarlous business. and
embark IN Olnefs more nOhOldDle. Liquor
was the cause of serious evils, viz: Spending
money and running talents. Absolute prohibi.
ton, however, would be almost impossible UNI
less there was strong public sentiment
aroused. 1t would be hard to enforce Il law in
this city as its government was an anomaly.
There was none other like it in existence, and
he hoped there never would be another. He
was in favor of Increasing the liquor license
fee in Washington to $500 per year If 1t was
shown that prohibition could not be effected,
as by this course Mt least one.half the bar.
rooms would be closed.
In conclusion the speaker said that the hero
ism displayed by Mrs. Hayes in refusing to al
low wine to be used at her table was equal to
any shown on the battlefelds Of Waterloo or
the Wilderness. Miss Florence Hopkins sang
in a superb manner, Hear Us, o Father
Judge Smell was introduced, but declined to
makca speech, saying that he would show by
his action in the Police Court that he favored
prohibition by enforcing every law relative to
the liquor traffic. Mr.. Palmer rected poem
entitled 'fhe Drunkard's Dream" with eX'
celent effect. Mr.. f. NJ. Bradley, the next
speaker, delivered an address Astounding in
| interesting statistics Of the money spent by
! liquor dealers aud liquor drinkers, in which he
showed that the former contributed $4,000
to the lattcr's $4,000. a letter was read
| from Senator Ferry, expressive of his regret al
not being able 10 be- present at the meeting, af
! ter which addresses were made by several Othel
| temperance "apostles,' and the meeting ad

The greatest interest was manifested yestcr-
day in the revival meetings at IIamline NJ. T..
Church. Last night 1t WAS found necessary to
close the doors, as the crowd filled the church
to its utmost, aud hundreds were compelled to
leave, not being able to gain standing room.
Rev. Mr.. Harrison took for the subject of his
remarks, "Thc Harvest Passing Away and the
Soul Not Saved" While he was pleading in
his earnest manner with the people great So
lemnity prevailed In the congregation, aud as
soon rs he closed his remarks u large number
hasteued to the altar, seeking religion. Intense
interest among the people continued for more
than, two hours, and large number of CONVEX.
sions occurred. One feature Of the meeting
last night was the singing, which was most ex-
ccllcnt. Revival services are to be held every

The trial Of Edward Ray, alias Major +, II.
Curtis, charged with outuging the person of
Miss Ella Tydings at the National Hotel in
March, 1871 was continued before Justice
liagnor, in the Criminal Court, last Saturday.
After considerable legal fitting and pcrsstency
upon the part Of the counsel for the accused,
they succeed in inducing the Justice to reverse
his previous ruling sufficiently to permit them
to show that the general reputation of the
prosecuting witness for chastity was bad sub.
scquent to the committing of this oilonse and
prior to the first trial From the evidence His
Honor thought it was shown that the House Of
the Good Shepherd, where Miss Tydings has
been since last April, was an institution where
restraint was exercised upon the inmates, aud
that they could not set up the same claim to
having formed new character that could not
he assailcd rs persons outsidc,moving with UNI
limited freedom. The defense, in the tcsti-
mony thus Offered showed nothing improper
except between November, 1877, and January,
ISIS. With this evidence the defense rested.
The Government then called several witnesses
TO prove that prior to the occurrence of the af.
fair Mt the hotel aud since January 3, 1873, Miss
Tydings reputation for chastity has been good
and beyond reproach.
