1T MAY BE AN ICE TRUST.
Alleghenians Much Worked Up Over an
Increase in the Cost of Ice-A 75 Per
Cent Raise in the Price

AlleghenianS Much Worked Up Over an
Increase in the Cost of 1ce-A 10 Per
Cent Raise in the Price.
Rumors of an ice trust are prevalent in
Allegheny, and the smaller consumers are
considerably exercised over what they deem
an injustice. President William Scott, of
the Chautauqua Lake Ice Company, denied
the rumor last night and declared the price
for ice is the same this season that it was
last, but q number of ice consumers of Ale
gheny declared they paid but 20 cents per loo
pounds for it last year and are obliged 10
pay 35 cents for the same amounts at present:
Druggist f. Holdin, of No 63 Federal
street, said yesterday that ice was 40 per
cent higher this season than it was last.
81 used from $50 to 800 pounds of ice per DAY
last summer" he continued "and only paid
% cents per hundred for it, The first OF
April of this year 1 received the price list
from the Artic Ice Company and Chautaufua
Lake Ice Company and the price from both
was uniform and at an advance of 15 per
cent or to S5 cents per 100 pounds. have
talked with other ice consumers and they
all tell me they arc obliged 10 pay the same
do. There is no use for us to make any
strong objections, for we are at the manu-
facturers' or dealers mercy. We cannot OBJ
tain ice for any thing less, so presume we
will be OBLIGED to put up with II"
81 am paying just 10 cents more per
hundred weight than did last year" said
the largest butcher in the Allegheny
market. 81 bought last season from the
Arctic Ice Company for 90 cents per hum
dred pounds, and this season pay 30 cents
for the same amount to the same firm.
have heard nothing at all from the smaller
dealers, and am inclined to believe the
statement made to the effect that they have
been absorbed by. the larger and more
powerful companies. 1 have an idea that
a new company coming in here would find
very fair patronage, as know the smaller
consumers, who are obliged to buy at the in
creased rates arc more than dissatisfied
with the present state of prices"
A number of other consumers were inter-
viewed. and all corroborated the statements
made by the gentlemen quoted.
Mr.. Scott when seen last night said there
was no truth whatever in the rumor that
trust had been formed. "The only change
there is at present is that the Arctic Ice
Company is now member of the Ice EX-
change, and has adopted the price list the
other dealers agreed upon at their spring
meeting The smaller ice dealers have not
been absorbed, and are as actively engaged
in business as they ever we're. The smaller
dealers buy their ice from ms, and know
they are still supplying their customers
The Arctic Ice Company solo at a smaller
price last year that they do Mt present, but
they were not making money doing it, and
they ere very willing to come into the eI-
change this season"

PUT HIMSELF ON RECORD.
+. Bese Placards the Fact That He's Not
in the Ring.

in the Ring.
The following notice on the house of F.
Bese, Penn avenue and st. Clair street, East
End, occasioned considerable talk in that
locality yesterday:
"This house is destroyed by the taxpayers
servants. "I. Why: Now say.'' l don't be-
long to the City ring voting cattle.
~. BEsE"
This notice was in large letters and nailed
on board to the front porch of the house.
The house is a one-story frame with three
rooms and is occupied by colored man,
who rented it from Bese. 1t stood out four
ieet on the line of st. Clair street, prior to
Saturday. Mr.. Bese had been frequently
notified to move the house back, that it
would not infringe on the line of
the street This warning was dis
regarded and saturday morning last q
crew of city carpenters cut the four feet from
the side OF the house that rested on ST.
Clair street exposing the rooms of the struc-
ture and giving it an appearance that at
tracted considerable a attention and comment.
The portion of the house that was cut off
was thrown in the rear yard.
Mr.. Bese was greatly provoked at the
action of the carpenters and said he would
tight the matter out in court.

State Senator McGinnis Says Thousands of
Democrats Would Vote for Him.
State Senator McGinnis, of Missouri, who
claims to be the oldest representative in the
State Legislature, was passenger OH the
Eastern Express last evening for Washing
ION. He is Republican, and thinks Harri-
son is sure to be renominated, though the
people of Missouri prefer Blaine. The Sem
ator says ii the Secretary of State were
nominated, thousands of Democrats in Mis-
souri, would vote tor him, and the Republic
ans would have a walk-over in carrying the
State. He adds that the party is harmo-
nious, and hasn't been so well organized in
the last 20 years as it is now. He believes
the Republicans will give the Democrats in
Missouri lively whirl, even with Harrison

thick with edibes and intensity, asked tor a

who wrote about the 'ereat corrupt mon

"old country" flavor to the villainous per-

Roads in London ard Paris.
This week George Rice, the engineer who
built the Citizens Traction and the DuQuesne
electric road, Will move to Philadelphia.
He intends shortly to go to Europe on a
pleasure trip. 1t was reported that he in
tended to build electric street railway
lines in London and Paris for foreign
capitalists. Mr.. Rice laughed when asked
about it Yesterday. He said there is no
truth in the report: His visit to Europe is
purely in search of recreation, though If he
saw a chance to make few dollars on the
other side he would take advantage of the
opportunity. Mr.. Rice says he has had offers
in the past from Europe to build roads over
there. but he never cared to accept them.
He added that America is away ahead in
street rapid transit but he thought the for
eigners would be awakened after awhile.
They have come to the United States for a
number of new and useful ideas before now.
The Germans it is said have made con.
siderable progress with electric street rail-
ways. Mr.. Rice says he hasn't been in Ger
many since the old horse cars were used.
He didn't know to what extent the Germans
had improved their street roads.
