RUINED ICE FIELDS.
Burning Kerosene Flows Oyer a Mile of |
the PenObscOt, Destroying Ice Trade.


the PenObscOt, Destroying Ice Trade.
BANGOR, Me, Jan. 5.-The ice business of
Bangor has received a severe and entirely
unexpected blow. In the storehouse of Henry
Mclaughlin, where the fire occurred on
Saturday night, were stored 1900 barrels of
kerosene oil. A large part of this oil ran into
the river, and thorough examination to-day
shows that it has entirely spoiled the splendid
field of ice. Even a mile below the place
where it entered the river the ice has been
rendered unfit for use. The oil has been car
ried by the tide to the upper fields. and the
ice there has been impregnated with kero-
sene. About the wharf where the oil was
stored there are barrels of oil, and on Sunday
and day hundreds of people have been
busy dipping it up.
1t is thought that the ice can be started out
of the river by means of dynamite and that
new crop can be formed. If it is not possible
to do this, it will be a severe blow to the gem
tlemen interested in the ice business, as well
to many laborIng people. It'll estimated that
IN cutting and shipping the ice $4,000 would
be paid to the labOring men. 1t would also
be unfortunate, as the ice business here is
just being established on a permanent basis,
and many dealers were looking toward the
Penobscot for their annual supply.

The SMaim Trial.

WASHINGTON, Jan. THE defence in the
Swain court martial in seeking for means OF
getting in evidence, the letter written by the
former stenOgrapher and telegraph operator

is 10 introduce testimony to show that Mr..
Bateman was in the habit of putting false
stock quotations en- his bulletin board and in
cidentally that his business methods were
crooked. The entire day was spent in argu-
ing upon objections to questions.

PHELPS PLEADS POVERTY.
The Discussion of the Inter-S state Com.
merce Bill Evokes the Plea.

WASHINGTON, Jan. THE event of the
day in the House was the profession of poverty
made by William Walter Phelps. Mr.. Reagan
in set speech in defense of the inter state
commerce bill alluded TO the speech made by
Mr.. Phelps in the former debate on the bill.
Incidentally he referred to Mr.. Phelps as a
rich man Interested in railways, and. there
fore, prejudiced advocate. Members of the
House dropped everything and gathered
around Nc. Phelps as he rose to reply, coming
over on the Democratic side for that purpose.
He said generally that Mr.. ReaRan's bill if
passed, must be as Ineffective as was the plan
OF Ihaddeus Stevens to prevent dealing in
gold during the war. The laws of trade
could not be changed bv the laws of
Congress, but if Mr.. Reagan's bill could be
enforced it would destroy many RAILWAYS
which, though of great benefit to the coun-
try, were just able to live. yielding no profit
to their projectors. He then alluded to Mr.
Reagan's reference to himself as a rich man
lie said that II he had ever possessed that
distinction. 1t was now greatly diminished
One of the things which had reduced his for
tune was his investment of half a million in
the Houston and Texas Railway, which had
aeVeleped Mr. Reagan's own locality, had
Dullt up Mr.. Reagan's own town of Palestine.
and had quadrupled the value of land in ali
that region. Three million dollars contributed
by nlmseI and his friends had passed through
his hands to build the road. They issued no
bonds.
A PHILANTHRoPIC SCHEME.
They simply built the road honestly and
economically by subscription. That money
seemed to have been sunk beyond the hope of
recovery A dozen years had passed without
their receiving single cent IN return in the
form OF interest, dividends, or anything else.
He supposed that he never would get any re-
turn. The railway was really run almost
solely IN the interest of the people along its
line. Yet the railway owners of the country
were unfortunately termed robbers and
grasping monopolists. Mr.. Phelps went on
to say that if Mr. Reagan's bill should pass
and be enforced it would kill his rail-
way. 1t was utterly impracticable. Mr..
Reagan, IN reply, did not deny what Mr..
Phelps said, but insisted that the State of
Texas had made grant to aid the Houston
and Texas. Yes" said Mr.. Phelps in reply,
but the bonds authorized by th.t grant were
never issued to us by the State" Then Mr..
Reagan remarked that the grant had been
made by a carpet bag Legislature. Mr.. Phelps
got much the better of the little discussion.
There were some goOd-natured inquiries af-
terWard as TO whether the feeling of poverty
experienced by poor Mr.. Phelps was not due
to his investments in the late campaign.
rather than to his investment in Houston and
Texas" The Reagan bill will probably be
passed by the House, but it cannot pass the
