When she does return to earth she will
probably settle down to housekeeping and

TRENTON, Aug. 9. 1880. Delegates from
nine of the thirteen volunteer fire engine
companies of this city met last night and
decided to do no more fire duty after noon
today without pay. This is the result of
long discussion over an increased ap-
preparation for the department. The City
Council claims that they cannot afford
the money and the companies declare
they cannot exist on the annual appro-
priation of 81, 800 and they demand s., 500
The firemen have long threatened to take
this action ana Councils could have pre-
vented it, but the firemen, seeing that the
Councils were disposed totrifie. took their
final action tonight.
This leaves a large manufacturing mu-
nfcipa1fty of 58, 900 inhabitants with the
meagre fire protection of three engines
and one hose carriage, and one of these
may go out today. The effect of the dis
cussion has led number of fire insur-
ance agents to cancel policies, and today
nearly every agent viii cancel policies on
the large manufactures.
The Fire Commissioners met last night
and referred the matter of the establish
ment of paid fire department TO Coun-
ellis, and Councils on Wednesday night
referred the matter to the Fire Commits
sioners. Both branches of the city gov
ernment are in doubt as to their power
After noon today the commissioners will
take possession of the four houses they
own and Immediately hold meeting and
make some arrangements for insuring
the safety of property.

/. SCARCITY OF ICE.
Unfavarable Winds Delaying the
Sehooners From Maine.

A report was circulated this morning
that another raise in the price of ice was
contemplated by the ice companies, not
withstanding the apparent end of the al
legged famine and the coolness of
the weather. Secretary Samuel
McBurney, of the Hudson River
Ice Company, was not in his Office when
NEWS reporter called at his office for a
confirmation of the rumor. But gem
tleman told the reporter he overheard
Mr.. McBurney emphatically deny the re-
port this morning, and intimate that the
present price would remain the same for
several days yet to come.
The foreman of the same company,
however, told the reporter that things
looked rather blue for Monday. "There
is but little ice in the city today" he said,
land don't see where we'll get supply
by Monday. It depends altogether on
the winds, which do not at present appear
favorable to the Maine schooners we are
looking for every day. The Hud-
son River Company, the New Jersey
Company and the United Ica Lines
are all waiting for a supply from these
same schooners. Yet do not anticipate
any raise in the price, The Hudson Rivor
Company is furnishing ice at sl2 ton to
all regular customers. Outsiders are
obliged to pay S14. The charge on the
streets is 80 cents per hundred pounds"

men have been grading, laying tracks
and erecting a number of sheds
upon the ground north of the
old station which was formerly used
as the yard for storing cars, which are to
be utilized as q temporary depot until
the new station Is completed. There are
six sheds in this temporary station, each
400 feet long and 10 feet wide. Although
they provide only about half as much
track room as the company actually needs
it is expected to get along with them
without serious Inconvenience. The
passengers will enter and leave the ferry
boats at the present slips and reach the
new depot by covered platforms from the
old waiting room, which will be used for
the present.
THE ELEVATION OF TWO TRACKS FINISHED.
The last girder in the elevated structure
for the southern tracks was swung across
Henderson street this morning, and after
it had been rivited and bolted the work
was completed from the point of rock to
the solid wall on the east side of Hender-
son street. The original plan calls for

wall from Henderson street to the depot
with bridges at the various street cross

A trestle work is being built from
where the iron elevated structure ends at

gradually to the present grade and will
be used in connection with the elevated
tracks while the two northern tracks are
being placed on stills.
Just after crossing Washington street
this trestle work divides into two Sec

depot and will be used for the passenger
traffic, while the other runs down to the

The Landran Mill Operators Go Out for
Higher Wages.
Seventy men and thirty young women
employed at Landran's silk mills, in West
New York went on strike at noon yes
terday. There has been dissatisfaction
among the hands for some time owing to
the low wages paid. About a week ago
the employers were asked for an increase
and they said that they would give the
matter consideration. On Thursday
night one of the hands told the superin-
tendent that the hands would quit work
unless higher wages were guaranteed.
At dinner hour the hands left the factory
in a body and did not return to work.
They loitered about the factory and some
used threatening language. The town
authorities were notified and dispersed
the crowd without trouble.
The employees claim that they receive
but 10 cents per pound for winding, while
other factories pay "a cents. They say
that they can only average IS per week.
They are firm in their demand and are
still out.
