The Ice Crop.

Ice operations on the Kennebec closed last
week. and it was expected for the season.
The crop is short from 100000 to 25O, 900 tons
according to different estimates. The ex-
pense of gathering is said to have been un-
usually large, but the ice is of excellent
quality. On the Penobscot the expense of
harvesting was small but only about 279,5OO
tons have been stored, while the ice houses
have a capacity of 416, 800 tons. The dealers
say the houses contain better ice than they
have obtained for years. 1t is expected the
ice will bring from $125 to $1.75 per ton
which is paving business.

City Election.

The annual city election took place Mon
day, and was one-sided, tame affair. There
was no issue before the people, and a major
ity of the old board were reelected on a
citizens ticket. The only opposition was in
ward five, where there was a contest for
ward officers. Mr. A. A. Hurd, the alder
man of last year, was first opposed i'll eau
Gus, where he won, and subsequently at the
polls, where he also won. Mr.. Hurd was
asked why he was opposed and he said it
for several reasons. He was opposed
ON personal grounds, and again in regard to
electric light matters. Mr.. Hurd is one of
the most efficient men on the board, and his
election is gratifying to a majority of our
citizens.
The day was cold and rough, and out of a
total registration of over 300, but 300 votes
We're thrown.

The Alleged Poisoning Case.

Last month it was alleged that some one
had attempted to poison the family of Isaac
Baker, of Belfast Mr.. Baker says a small
quantity of tea, in paper, handed him
by his brother-in-law, Amos Hall, who
claimed he picked it up under the window.
A note accompanied the tea Mrs. Baker
STEPPED the tea, drank it, and was very ill.
Mr. Baker drank some and was sick. A
quantity of the STEPPED and unsteeped tea
| was given to DR.. Ellingwood, who forward
ed it to Prof. Robinson at Bowdoin college
for analysis. The Doctor on Saturday re-
ceived the following letter from Prof. Rob-
inson:

1t would appear that the poison was added
to the tea while it was brewing, or imme-
dlately afterwards, as the raw tea contained
no poison. Free phosphorus might come
from matches. Dou btless this is all that
will ever come OF the case

SENDING DRY GOODS SAMPLES.
A Seeming Trifle That Costs a Great

From the Chicago Herald.
81 wonder whether one person in a
thousand who asks for sample of a piece
of dry goods ever stop to think what it
cost the merchants Of this country a year
to satisfactorily respond to the simple re-
questW asked the manager Of one OF Chi
cago's greatest dry goods houses the other

other things discussed was that of giving
away samples and sending out samples Of
dry goods, ETC., by statesmen. Finally we
got to figuring on the matter. The result
was almost appalling. Some of US had been
connected with the big factories In our time
as we'll as other large houses, wholesale and
retail We found that, placed at a conser-
vative figure. there Gre more than s. ,O0O.-
900 worth OF goods given away, and
consequently destroyed, In samples every
year IN the United States.
when you come to figure this out it
means an average Of 5 cents apiece for every
man, woman and child, including all the
babies, in the United States.
This S3,000000 or more eventually, Of
course, comes out Of the pockets of the
purchasers, or, more properly speaking, the
consumers OF dry goods. The sample feat
ure of the dry goods business is at once one
of the greatest nulsances and blessings that
we have. Where the nuisance comes in is

that it saves us-or, l should say, the

steam from locomotives during their frequent
stops at way stations, made necessary for TAX
ing IN tue waIeL, anu hOl V VI, BURGESS, the
pumping OF water for filing the tanks or reser-

cases, as is well known, large stations have TO
be supplied with an engine and steam pump,

cumstances it is claimed that the first cost of

Cork Horseshoes for Asphalt Roads:



From the Philadelphia Record.
There is grateful smoothness and spring
mess in the surface Of an asphalt pavement
that makes it agreeable for both rider and
horse. But the slipping OF the horse, par
ticularly when the surface Of the pavement
is wet, is a serious drawback With the
view of remedying this trouble a French
man has devised a simple contrivance TOR
fastening upon the under part of the horse-
shoe two strips OF cord, one on each side.
The New York EUeninq Post, following a
printed description which is not altogether
clear, says:
The cork strips are held In position by
two very thin sheet-iron plates firmly
fastened together by rivet. The outer
edges Of the plates are slipped between the
shoe and hoof. The inner edges are turned
upward, forming hsnges, between which
and the inner edge of the shoe the cork
blocks are tightly fixed. Between these
tlanges is fitted screwed bolt with nuts at
either end. so that when the nuts are tightly
screwed against the flanGes the whole is
perfectly immovable In order to hold the
cork still frmer In position the corners of
the flangese are turned down over it, thus
forming 6cuple of sockets. into which the
cork, which at first slightly projects over
the surface of the shoe, is jammed and
compressed more firmly every day by the
weight of the horse.
The most serious objection to asphalt paw
ing is made by horsemen on account of the
danger Of slipping; but these cork shoes, ac-
cording to information obtained by the
Post. ENABLE the horse to obtain such Il
grip upon slippery surface that slipping is
almost impossible and straining is greatly
diminished. The Brussels Tramway Com
pany, after trying them for six months, has
adopted them for general use. The extra
expense is estimated at 81 30 year for each
horse, against which must be put a saving
on the wearing of the shoe and prolonga-
ton of the life of the animal"
As between the ordinary stone block or
cobble paving and asphalt there is also to
be added to the credit of the latter very
considerable saving in the wear and tear of
vehicles, which should also be taken into
the general account.

CLEAN UP!

Autopsies in five fatal cases Of sus-
pected cholera by DR.. BATES, Of the
New York Health Board, have revealed
the fact that five persons have recently
died in that city from genuine Asiatic
cholera.
Another suspected case was reported
yesterday.
Despite the sJrict quarantine, the
most careful vigilance and the utmost
precaution on the part Of the authori-
ties, the deadly plague has finally
gained a foothold in New York. How
il got there Is a mystery, but the fact
that it is there is a proof Of the insid-
ious nature Of the disease and a warn

State and city in the country to be on
