ICE MEMS HARVEST TIME.
Bangor Operators Hope For warm
Weather on the Hudson.

BANGOR, Me-, Jan. %. 1S94.-Every day
which passes without bringing a report of
freezing weather On the Hudson stimulates
the hopes OF the local ice operators, and the
season is now so far advanced that they feel
that the chances of a crop on the Hudson
and 50 the south are decidedly slim.
Today the Penobtcott operators feel that
they can house ice ON a sure basis of seventy
five cents per ton for next summer delivery,
but at this figure little will be done. The
moment, however, chat the outlook warrants
one dollar per ton or upward, the houses
will be filed with all possible despatch.
1t is believed that two weeks at the most
will settle the chances for the Hudson deal
.ers, and on this river under ordinary con-
ditions the full crop can be harvested after
that date in the season. Some concerns are
now harvesting their crop and will take
their chances in the maket the coming sum-
mer.
Should the Hudson crop fail this year
fewer Maine spectators are ready to engage
in the business and this would give the regu-
lar companies an advantage and mean enor-
nous dividends on the seasons work. The
great abundance of labor will, if the hoped
for boom arrives, Offset the cost of removing
the immense amount of now covering the
ice fields.

POLICEMAN MGURK's WOES.
A Can of Beer Causes His Wife to

A Can of Beer Causes His Wife to
Leave Him.
Patrick McGurk, Of the Second precinct,
spent the major part of yesterday afternoon
in Chancery Chambers telling Vice Chancel
lor Green his troubles with his wife Rose,
from whom he seeks to be divorced because
she deserted him. According to the officer,
Mrs. McGurk, after living twenty-tnree
years with her husband. took it into her
head to leave him and her three children.
One of these, a girl twenty years of age,
corroborated this statement, and said that
she had gone to her mother and induced her
to come back home.
Mrs. McGurk stayed a week with her
family and skipped out once more. Again
the daughter pleaded successfully with her
mother to return, and again the mother left
the house after a short stay of a week.
why did she leave the last time!" asked
Counselor N. L. Rowe, Of the daughter.
Because of a jug of beer" was the an
swer.
The officer, it seems, on returning home
found beer in the house, and as be doesn't
drink and objects to its presence in his
household, he raised a row with his wife.
She took her clothes and left the house, say
ing to him, "Ill never live with you again.
You've wasted my young life"
After testimony from others to show that
Mrs. McGurk deserted her husband without
cause, the case was adjourned for a week.

sUPT. RAVENS ACCUSED.
Serious Charges Against the Head of
the Life Saying Service.

lat LII Saying SCTSKCCs
Special to the Jersey City Neus.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25, 1S94.-Complaints
against Superintendent Ravens of the. Life
Saving Service are pouring into the Treasury
Department, in quality and quantity suf-
icient to secure his removal. Captain Mark
Townsend of Atlantic county and Judge
James E. Otis of Ocean county are both here
loaded with charges. Captain Townsend
saw Logan Carlisle, the chief clerk of the
Treasury Department, and the son of the
Secretary, yesterday, and urged a change in
the personnel of the Life Saving service of
New Jersey.
'Send in specific charges - said Mr.. Car
Isle, and we will see What can be done"
Captain Townsend proposes to follow this
advice.
Judge Otis was also at the Treasury De-
partment today on q similar mission. He
told the Secretary that he had evidence that
George II. Horner of Little Beach Life Saw
ing Station was discharged for being a DEM
ocrat, II he also emphasized the fact that
Of all the employees of three stations and one
lighthouse in Ocean county, only one was a
democrat. He submitted a number of spe-
cific statements to the Secretary, CORRIDOR
ated by correspondence, and made a most
urgent appeal that Superintendent Ravens
be removed. Judge Otis dwelt at length
upon the political discrimination which had
been shown against Democrats and also re-
ferred to matters of a more serious nature,
which the Secretary promised to take into
consideration.
The general impression in Washington is
that the condition of affairs in the New Jer-
sey life saving service will not be remedied
until the General Superintendent, Mr.. Kim
ball, is superseded by a democrat. If this
can be accomplished a much needed general
o~verhauling of the personnel of the SER
vice will result.

SIGNS OF MURDER, HERE.

BOSTON, Jan. 25, 1s94.-The town of Lin
coin is much excited over the finding of the
dead body of a man in a brook, on the
Farrar estate, the surroundings indicating
that he was murdered.
The body is that of a man about fifty-fve
years old, weighing $50 or 400 pounds, and
was lying face up in about a foot of water.
1t has evidently been in the water six to
eight weeks, and the head bore marks as if it
had been beaten with a cudgel.
The man was in his shirt sleeves, with no
shoes, and but one stocking, and as no por-
ton of his apparel was found near by, it is
believed by many that he was murdered and
carried to the brook. An Investigation is in
progress.
