Last Monday a man and woman called at No.

room with the woman, and Thursday had the

with her mother Mrs. Mary Haase, residing at
No. 223 South Tennessee street, called on the

old, but large for her age, and the man and
woman were well pleased with her. He stated
that his business would call him from the city a
great DEAL and he wanted companion
for his wife, who was not In excellent
health. Arrangements were made Tor MISS
Haase to return Saturday afternoon This she
did alone and sooner had she entered the
room than the man began making indecent re-
marks, and finally assaulted her. The girl was
very much frightened, and threatened to jump
out of the window if she was not released
During all this the woman with the man, sat
by and laughed. Seeing that he had not secured
the girl he wanted, he finally allowed her to
leave, and offered her several presents if she
would not tell the story to her mother. Miss
Haase reached home greatly excited. and related
her experience to her parents, who reported the
matter to the police. Captain Campbell and
Sergeant Travis yesterday arrested the scoun-

Boyden, Y. d. G. A. building-fund collector,
on Thursday evening, is under arrest, but in
order to make case against him it will be neces-

City Life Healthful for Cows and Hogs

Louisville Courier-Journal.
1t is considered remarkable that COWS that
spend their summer evenings in the shrubbery
of city front yards are never attacked by pleuro-
pneumonia Another fact may be noted: Hog
cholera never attacks the city porkers that upset
the ash barrels and walow in the cutters City
life is unquestionably healthful for unconfined
cattle and hogs.

One Sermon ON Sunday:

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
am one of the advocates of the idea which is
being discussed in some of the church circles in
our city, viz: Shall minister be expected to
preach two sermons on the Sabbath2" And my
plea is for the ministers. Take pastor of any
church. who, on Sabbath morning. breaches a
finished discourse, upon which he has spent
hours of careful work. In the evening of the
same day he is expected to produce one of equal
merit as. indeed, he desires so to do, having
many in his audience of scholarship and ability
who can appreciate and relish a fine, pungent,
spicy or deep theological discourse. Query: Are
there many lawyers who could produce, or
would try to furnish two able speeches every
week. Some men spend their Sabbath morn
ings in resting up, "-and come to church In the
evening to be entertained /, for one am not
willing to have my pastor sacrificed to preach to
a set of old moss backs like that, who have had
the gospel of Jesus Christ hammered into them
for years. Some of our pastors-the live ones
spend the Sunday afternoons in the school.
encouraging and inspiring the teachers, reaching
the children. as they could not possibly do else
where and at its close pressing the lesson of the
hour home upon the hearts of the children; and
thus, to my mind doing one of the most impor
tant works of his parish. Surely we can spare
him less there than anywhere else.
This matter should be seriously and thought
fully considered by the people. And those who
see the business of the matter are advocating a
reform which is bound TO come sooner or later.
People are too much disposed to follow beaten
paths, without thought to whether circum
stances and times DO not demand a change Let
US ask ourselves we that are church workers
these questions:
First-Are our ministers more needed in the
Sabbath-schools or evening services2
Seconds there not greater work outside OF
our regular evening church service where Chris
tian ministers and laymen are needed9

The Price Of lee.

To the Citizens Of Richmond:
The severe winter which has Just
passed must have left on your minds
the impression that the price of ice this
summer should be very low. II is our
wish that it should be. IL is our
wish to see ice at as low = rate as pos
sble, and therefore We deem it but our
duty to show you clearly our position.
On the lSt OF January last the Ken
nebec river, which is our source Of sup
ply. was frozen TO the thickness Of eight
or nine inches, the ice being as clear as
crystal. Every thing promised a full har-
vest. On January IT'D warm rain fell,
and what is called in Maine "a general
thaw" set in. The river in consequence
broke up and jammed the entire dis
tance Of the ice-felds, packing ia depth
from five 10 fifteen feet, and in some
places to the bottom of the river. The
Jam Of useless ice was never able to
move, because four days later, Janu-
airy Sth, severe cold wave which swept
the country froze the jsmmed ice
solid. AS a result, Of the forty.four
regular dealers on the kennebec but
twenty-three succeeded in housing
about two thirds Of their capacity,
while the other twenty-one secured
none. What ice the fortunate dealers
secured was cut and housed at an ex-
pense nearly three times the usual cost.
Some of this ice had to be hauled seye-
raj miles in order 10 reach the houses.
At some places gorged ice had to be
cut, hoisted up, and hauled ont In
order TO prepare the river for second
freeze.
In view Of the above facts, ard also
ofthe fact that the Hudson.riyer crop fell
far short of last years product, tho
kennebec dealers have advanced their
prices 200 per cent. over last years
figures.
In consequence Of this advance and
also the advance in rates Of freight and
other expenses connected with tho
handling Of ice, the ice-dealers Of this
city are compelled TO advance their
prices to the following rates from
April lst;
Five pounds to twenty-five pounds
daily, one cent per pound thirty
pounds to one hundred pounds daily.
three quarters Of cent per pound;
over one hundred pounds daily, sixty
cents per one hundred pounds.
Ii will here be noticed that while the
prices on the kennebec have increased
900 per cent, the Richmond prices
have been advanced only about 40 per
cent. over last years prices.
We shall endeavor in the future, IS
in the past, to supply the citizens Of
Richmond with nothing but tirst-class
ice.
The above prices will be adhered 70
by the following companies

JAMES &. SMITH Ice Co.,
