HIGH PRICES. SMALL SALES.
The Ice Business RetrospectivelS
Considered.

The Ice Business Retrospectively
Considered.
Speaking of the ice crop in business
way. now that the season for taking ice
in small families has passed, it would be
interesting to know whether the ice men
made ga big stake" or not. after all. 1t
looked as if the increased rate at first
announced was an attempt to hit the
people when they were down. As a
matter of fact. scores of small families
went without ice all summer. Fortu-
nately for them, it was cool summer,
and, while ice would have been a con-
venience at many times, they found that
it was not a necessity. The wagons had
to pass by where they formerly made
several stops, and where they did stop,
the amount of ice taken was, in man Y
cases, only fraction of that consumed
in former years. The dealers must have
suffered a not uncomfortable loss of rev
enue in this way. Whether they made
it up on the marketmen and other whole
sale takers, they know better then any.
one outside the business; but the chances
are that they did not. The ''bulling" of
the market, when it became evident
that ice was to be at a premium, proved
a boomerang, and the peoples indigna
ton melted q good deal slower than ice
on January day. On the other hand
it ought to be said that, in all probability
some of the dealers met serious Difficult
ties in securing their ice, housing and
transporting it, mourning large expenses
thereby. Some of them have felt justi'
fled in getting gilt-edge price.

Striking Tack Makers.

BIRMINGHAM, December 5.-The tack
makers employed by the Shelton Tack
company struck in body yesterday.
The trouble is over cut in wages of
twenty five per cent made some time
since, when business was dull. Since
it has begun to pick up the men asked
for fifteen per cent rise, which was re-
fused by Superintendent Benham. The
company offered five per cent advance,
but the men would listen to nothing less
than ten per cent. No compromise has
been effected as yet and the machines
are standing idle.

accepted.

The comedy sunbeam, Mora, will be-
gin a weeks engagement at the opera

An exchange says: The return of Mora,
the favorite flashing ray of sunshine,
brought out an unusually large sized
audience at the opera house last even
ing. In "Dad's Grip the little lady
gave us a wonderful impersonation.

OF their play the Mail and Express says
The play which has been selected to in.
troduce the star is Honest Hearts and
Willing Hands," from the pen of that
popular young American playwright,
Duncan B. Harrison, and is said to be a
work of merit and intense interest. 1t
is in five acts and is replete with pathos
and thrilling situations, interspersed
with bright and unctuously happy
vein of comedy,
'sBarry & Fay.''
Nothing is more deliciously funny
than the reading of that droll letter,
signed "Yours forever, Mary Ellen
Ryan" by Barry and Fay, in :'McKen

duced at the opera house this evening.

TOUCHED LIGHTNING.
Four-Thousand Volt Current Into
a Mans Body.
Hurled Twenty Feet After Instantaneous
DeaIh-How the Circuit Which Killed
Clarke Was Formed.

INDIANAPOLIS, May 3.-The killing of
James Clarke. an employe in the cleo
tric-light works, shortly before one
o'clock yesterday morning demonstrated
the tremendous power of the current.
He was ordered to change the city
circuit to one of the commercial
wires, which is done by shifting
the wires on the switching-board.
Attached to the end of each wire is
a wooden-handle through which the
insulated wire passes. In shifting the
currents, Clarke unlocked the city wire
with his left hand and the commercial
with his right, and as he did so one of
his fingers accidentally came in contact
with the metal at the end of the wooden
handle on the commercial wire. This
formed circuit, and the current passed
down Clarlze's right arm, through his
body and up the left arm and out over the
city wire, 1900 volts strong, hurting
him twenty feet to the rear and killing
him instantly. The current passing
through his body supplied sixty-seven
arc lights. The deceased was aged 81,
and he but recently became connected
with the works. He came here from
Worthington, and was not an electri-
clan. This death is the first which has
occurred in Indianapolis from the use of
electricity

CHICAGO, May 3.-The threatened
strikes in this city, which may be said
to have technically begun on Thursday,
when organized labor took its holiday,
were not made apparent until yesterday
morning, when the men failed to resume
work at many of the shops. The ''Black
Road" in the vicinity of McCormick's
reaper-works had much the same ap-
pearance as it had four years ago. None
but strikers could be seen, and they had
entire possession. Every man, boy and
girl employed in the Malleable Iron
works, corner of Twenty-sixth and
Rockwell streets, is out. The total num-
Der of employees is 1900. Among them
are fifty girls employed as core max

ers in other foundries are out From
three to four thousand sash, door and
blind men in various factories have
walked out, and it is rumored that the
planing-mill men will quit this evening.
