We can best answer numerous inquiries
about building an ice. house, by giving a
deception ol one we putup for our own
use few years ago. The locality selected
was one aiiording facilities for drainage
was well shaded by trees, ana conveniently
uear the huuse. The surface being sandy
was eyelled, and four by six inch slls,
!uuiteen leeJ long, were laid down and
holYed together at the corners. The plates
of the same length, OF two ly four inch
stuii,were put together in the same manner.
Studs two 10y four, and thirteen feet long,
were mortise1 into the siils and spiked t,
to the plates every eighteen ioches. The
roof, a Square pitch," is c,vcred with ten.
inch boards, two inches apart, and other
boards Of the some width nailed on as
baltens. Hemlock boards nailed horizonta' =
ly on both sidas of the studs,c over the sides
and ends; the four inch space between the
outer aud inner siding, being filled with
sawdust. There is door at the ground
level, aud another just above, both being
practically double, by means Of horizontal
boards pla ,ei on the inside as the honse /.
filed. The roof projects over the de
about foot, and the spaces between tina,
al d the plates are loft opeu to afford Yenti
htion. A layer of sawdust, four inches or
mere thick, was laid upon the ground, an
the blocks Of ice stacked upon II as closely
as possible, The top of the ice is covered
with a layer of marsh hay, about two feet
thick. THIS house, If filled Up to the 7, o
would hold about sixty tons. When all
f'e', there has been a considerable guam
tity Of Ice left over each year, though it has
been used very freely. The cost of the house
is small. american Amicuiurist.

The New York Walk.

New YORK, May 2.-There was large at
tendance at the garden today. Dnring the
night Fitzgerald took rest of two hours and
thirty-nine minutes. He started on run az
ter couple of Numbering laps, and put Row
ell farther behind him. He maintains his
clumsy style and takes little rest. His trainer
says he is in good condition, and able to do his
work with the sleep he is getting. Roweii
rested three hours and thirty-seven minutes.
When he did come on he kept up to Fitzger-
aid. Then he went off for an hour and thlr-
teen minutes. Rowell walks and trots away
with almost the same method as on the second
day. His thin face and somewhat sunken
eyes are the only material signs OF the strain
he has undergone. A rumor that he had Deen
vomiting blood last night was proved to be un-'
founded. His trainer says he ia feeling nrst
rate, and that his only weakness is for sleep.
Noremac looks, when he comes out on the
track, as il he was all broken up, but after
limping around two or three times he breaks
ont into quick and steady run, that pnts
miles behind him. Vint's right leg gave MIN
good deal of trouble during the morning ana
Noremao was enabled to lessen the lead Nlnt
had on him by ten miles, between morning
and noon. Panchot caught up on Herty dur
ing the morning and took the fifth place. Her
ty has become very popular today. At hall
past II Fitzgerald was five miles ahead OF the
record, and over 10 miles in front OF Rowell.
Noremac was within a lap of Vint, who was
off the track. 1t was stated this afternoon IN
the garden that Vint's right leg was gone
About l o'clock Fitzgerald was ga miles
ahead of the record. The predictions of More
macs handler that the Scotchman would as
tonish them today were being fulfilled up to l
o'clock. He had made 81 miles in the previ-
GUS twelve hours, and was still going on as
though he we're ON the secoud day. Bets were
made of against 3 that he would beat Rowell
At 8 o'clock this afternoon the score stood as

A Tax Assessors Hardship.
IT auisto,, Tnprua1N


Mr.. Freedom Haskell, the genial Auburn
assessor, was on his rounds Wednesday in the
suburbs of Auburn, with his book under his
arm and his pencil sharpsned for the family
dog. He had received notification that at one
house in his direct way were two taxable dogs
and he raped at the front door of modest
looking house, with confidence both in human
ity and dogs. The door was opened by a
woman. She said that she would show the
assessor the dogs If he would step around to
the rear OF the house and into the shed. Mr.
Haskell went around. The women Of the
house went into the shed and loosened the
dogs. The dogs came out and showed them
selves. One jumped for Mr.. Haskell and
fixed his teeth in the shoulder of his coat and
into the flesh of his arm. Mr.. Haskell beat
him off, when he jumped again. His teeth
pierced the flesh of the assessors wrist in an
ugly wound. With the womsn's assistance,
the dog was finally beaten off. The assessor
calmly seated himself and "taxed the dogs.
The woman denied owning the dog that did
the biting. Somebody will be taxed for that
dog if the assessor can do anything by virtue
of his office. Wednesday night the wounds
were painful, and Mr.. Haskell sought the doc
tor.

FOREST FIRES.
Hundreds OF Miners Dwellings
Burned in Pennsylvania.
A Town on Fire and aOOO People Home
less.

HoNTzDALE, Pa, May 2.-Forest fires are raging
throughout the coal regions of Cleared and Centre
counties. Much damage has been done to works
about the collieres and hundreds of miners DWELL
ings have been destroyed, The town of Brisbn
took fire to-day and at p. m. was still burning
There is however but little material left for fire.
Over 300J people are homeless and entirely desti
tute. Appeals for aid have been telegraphed to the
surrounding towns.
Brisbin is situated between two hills. The mill
being at the western end of the town and with a
steady gale carrying the flames from house to
house it was but short time until the space be-
tween the hills was seething mass of flame. The
loss is enormous. Hooper, Hughes & Cos mill and
lumber yards, their office Hooyer's stores, Simon
Dnger's store Theogt Hall, and at least $50 other
buildings were burned. Several sick persons were
taken from their houses with great difficulty. Over
one hundred families are beIeft of everything.
Mrs. Donovan was caught by the fire and burned
to death. The fire, it is said was started on Sun
day last by party of Hungarians who took that day
to clear patches of ground by fire. Much indigna-
ton is felt against them and it is likely they win be
obliged to leave this station. A call for assistance
has been issued.
Destructive forest fires are also rogng in the
vicinity of Ashland, Emporium and Mount Carmel.
Much valuable timber has been destroyed and hun
dreds of men are thrown out of employment. Two
families are reported lost at Emporium, and it is
feared tee loss of life will be great. The town of
Arnot in Tiago county Pa. has lost of build
ings ignted by forest fires. The numbering town of

Mr.. Frye on the Shipping Bill.

In the Senate Thursday Mr.. Frye continued
his very earnest speech against the pro-
posed free ship amendment to the ship
ping bill. He maintained that the logical re-
suit OF the amendment would be the destruc-
ton OF the coastwise trade and the merchant
marine. Speaking of the section OF the bill
relative to advance wages, Mr.. Frye said: II
have never seen any power in the world equal
to that of the sailors boarding house keepers.
No one gets the benefit Of advance wages save
the boarding house keepers and the low grog-
geries of a port England has tried ior years
to stop that evil, bot without avail. This Is
I suppose no one will object to the trial" In
answer to Mr.. Beck, the Senator from Maine
said 1t was the opinion of the commerce COM
mittee that no relief could be given from tho
tonnage tax except it equally affected foreign
ship owners, The opponents of the free ship
amendment do not think that it will be
adopted.
