ARTIFICIAL ICE FOR NEW
YORK.

The Scientific American discusses at
some length the possibility of supplying
New York with cheap artificial ice
which shall compete successfully with
the natural commodity. 1t doubts If a
solution of all the difficult
ties involved can be reached, but be-
lieves that the production Of ice-making
machinery is only yet in its infancy, and
that so long as 1t Is theoretically posi-
BILE to make ice for less than dollar a
ton in or near our great cities, just so
long inventors will lave in this IA prom
ising field to work in. After pointing
out some of the advantages of an artifi-
cial supply of ice it adds at may be
that the most economical place for ice
manufacture for New York consump-
ton, all things considered, would be up
the Hud on where the water Is sweet,
perhaps above the State dam at Troy
Ground space opposite or above Lam
singburg would be comparatively mex
pensive. The water could be drawn
from the river and would he uncontam-
mated by the sewage of Albany, Troy,
and adjacent towns, as would be the
case if the works were further down the
river. The condensing or cooling coils
could be submerged in the river, and
one of the chief items of cost in the pro-
duction of ice artificlally would thus be
avoided. The ice as fast as manufac
tured could be placed on river barges
such rs are now employed in the trade,
and the daily product could be towed
down the river cheaply and with com
paratively less wastage. II the claims
advt need by the makers of ice-machin-
ery are verified In practice on large
scale there ought to be good margin
for profit in an undertaking Of this char
acter,n i--|-

STATE POLITICS.
A REPUBLICAN STATE CENTRAL COM
MITTEE APPOINTED.

REPUBLICAN STATE CENTRAL COM
MITTEE APPOINTED.
Isaac N. Mills, who, as chairman of
the Republican State Convention, was
authorized to appoint the Republican
State Central Committee for the pres
ent campaign, has performed that du-
ty, and selected the following
New Castle cOunty-James l.. Haw-
kins, Wilmington Richard E. Smith,
Middletown; r. Lewis Armstrong,
Christiana hundred l.. Frank Eli.
son, Pencader /; Daniel P. Hamilton,
col, Wilmington.
Kent county-Henry w. Cannon,
Dover Hon. George p. Fisher, Do
YER James r. Lofl md, Milford.
Sussex oounty-Dan'l Burton, Mills
boro John r. Ricards, Bridgeville !;
Eli X. Sharp, Seaford. .I
A meeting of the committee is called
for Thursday, June "a, at 11.30 a. m,
at Dover, for the purpose of electing a
chairman.
II will be observed that there is but
one negro on the list, Dan Hamilton,
of this city. Kent and Sussex Repub-
licans, as general thing, don't take
any nigger in theirs" and will not
even appoint negroes on their county
committees, or elect them delegai es o
the State Convention. During the re-
cent State Convention, Kent county
delegate expressed great surprise in
conversation with GAZETTE reporter
that negro delegates should have been
sent from Wilmington, and when ask
ed if there were any in the Kent coun-
ty delegation grew quite indignant,
and said they ''voted the niggers, but
did not have any further use for
them" In Sussex county it is the
same way, and only in New Castle
county is the negro recognized in
any way as factor of the Republican
party, except so far as his vote is con-
cerned ON election days.
Another noticeable fact in connec-
ton with the construction of this COM
mittee, is the almost entire absence of
any representative of the Pickels- Hig-
gins faction. Out of the eleven men,
bers they have but one man-Eli r.
Sharpe, of Sussex county. This is a
fair notice to the aDti-rine faction OF
the party that Messrs. Bird, Fisher
and Harrington, and their friends are
to control Federal patronage in this
State, in case Garfield is elected Presi-
dent.

Last night the First ward negroes
organized an Arthur Club, with Rufus

managed to get along without having

The night after the nomination the
Tenth ward negroes organized Gar
field Club, but thus far the white Re

to hold little ratification meeting in
