ONLY A MEMORY NOW.


Yesterday was a very fair winter day. but
the atmosphere seemed balmy to the people
of this locality. with whom the. severity OF
Friday was still fresh. The coolest time
yesterday was in the morning, when the
thermometer at the Signal Office registered
four degrees below zero. 1t moderated con-
siderably during the day, and by evening
the awful cold was but a memory.
The ice crop is immense, and the several
companies are busy filling their houses.
The ice is twelve to eighteen inches thick
and unusually clear. The local companies,
which get their supplies from the north part
of the State, nave all they can store; but
the great plenty does not mean that prices
will be any lower the coming season. The
dealers can say nothing now regarding the
prices, but it is expected that they VIII keep
them I'D. Should the natural ice companies
decide to fight the artificial ice firms there
may be a reduction in rates, but as there Is
a demand for the artificial ice it Is probable
that the makers of it will not engage In a.
war of prices, which will leave the natural
ice companies to charge what they please.
There was a demand for coal yesterday
which the supply could not meet. Dealers
were busy all day attending to orders Many
persons who do not need the coal now took
warming by the experience OF FRIDAY ana
laid in a supply. 1t is predicted now that
nearly every one able TO do so will have a
supply on hand next winter. The WOOD SUD
and yesterday a number of dealers sent or
ders out to the country towns for fresh sup
plies.
The federal building has been a very cold
place during the past few days, and as a
consequence a large number of government
employees are sick. Yesterday ten carriers
failed to report because of sickness brought
about by the exposure of Friday "A num-
Der of the clerks in the postofice are also
sick. Judge Baker, of the federal court,

especially those from the East. The local

days before the trains can proceed upon

G.. A. EMERSON ARRESTED.
Grand Jury Indictments Charge Him
with Grand Larceny.

with Grand Larceny.
George A. Emmerson, recently the pro-
prietor of the Emmerson-Moore Desk Com
pany, was arrested, yesterday morning. on
a grand jury capias charging him with
grand larceny. Deputy Sheriff Walters
found Mr.. Emmerson at his home on Col
fege avenue. He promptly furnished a bond
of 5000, with w. w. and w. J. Hubbard
as s~ureties. The capias was issued by the
grand jury just adjourned and the fact that
Mr.. Emmerson was under suspicion
was not made known until the ar
rest. Recently the Emmerson-Moore
company passed into the hands of
a receiver, Horace Mckay being ap-
pointed to that position by the court. The
company was originally organized by Joseph
A. Moore. Receiver Mckay employed Mr..
Emmerson to look after the plant, the bust
ness being continued by the order of the
court. There are two indictments against
Mr.. Emmerson. One indictment charges him
with having purloined eighty writing beds
and seventy cylinder tops. In the other he is
charged with the theft of four desks or the
value of $50. Mr.. Emmerson declined to talk
of his arrest and would only say that he
believed himself the victim of blackmail.
He has employed attorneys Duncan q
Smith.

somerby Motion Argued.

The argument to dismiss the indictments
against Freeman d. Somerby, ex-supreme
justice of the Iron Hall, was argue in the
Criminal Court yesterday by John c. Brush,
who represents the defendant. NJ. c. Davis,
A. H. Hosmer and other of the supreme
officers were included in the Indictment,
which was returned more than two years
ago. The motion to dismiss the case against
the defendants was based upon the conten-
ton that the case against NJ. c. Davis has
been continued through three terms OF the
Criminal Court through no fault of his.
There had been no expedition in the cause,
such at least as was necessary in the good
faith of the prosecutor.
Deputy Prosecutor Afford objected to the
motion to dismiss because the court had not
acquired jurisdiction over the defendant:
He had never been brought into court and
had never submitted to it's jurisdiction. The
prosecutor in resisting the motion held that
it wo,.ld be a peculiar procedure that Woull
permit indicted persons to seek refuge In a
foreign place and then attack the expedI-
ton and good faith of the prosecution when
as a matter of fact the law had not been
able to bring them within its jurisdiction.
Judge McCray made no decision yesterday
and announced that he would take tho qucS-
items present ed under advisennent.
