TIE ICE TRADE JOURNAL
Says That Hudson River Harvest Is Being
Seriously nterIered With.
(From the Ice Trade Journal }

(From the Ice Trade Journal
The past month has been almost an
exact counterpart of December, rs we de
scribed ii in our last issue OF the journal.
The warm spell which carried out the ice
which has been made during the tn
usually cold snap OF the early part Of the
month, leaving the rivers and lakes s.
free from ice as in June. was succeeded
by a second freeze Of about the same
duration, and ending in Severe rain
storm ON the 23d ult., which damaged the
ice in many localities and threatened a
complete breakup. The ice, however,
generally held its anchorage, and the
moderately cold weather OF last week
enabled the haryosters to secure enough
ice fer next seasons needs The quality.
however, is inferior to the limited cut OF
early December.
At the present writing, the 2Sth. the

ice fields the ice is about IL inches thick.
and some planning will be needed. On
the Hudson river the difficulties encoun-
tered have been still mora formidable.
many of the finest fields having been in
jured by the recent freshet and In some
places on the river entirely destroyed by
the jumbled ice which was LETT by the
tbaw of December.
Taking it altogether the harvesters
have had very rough time of it. but
there will be plenty of ice for all needs,
even should no more be gathered, rs there
is IA very large surplus carried over from
the last season. On the Hudson alone
this is estimated at 1905 tons, and the
situation there is not materially different
from that of Maine and other states Fast
and West. There is nothing, therefore. to
fear as to the ice supply the next season.

a cold month, as it often is, and third
crop be secured, ice next summer will IN
doubtedly be cheap commodity, rs the
dealers will be less disposed to nurse their
supplies, owing to the inferior quality Of
much that has been already housed.

A DOUBLING THOMAS.
Who Stood Upon the Ragged
Edge of Health.
But Was Willing to be Convinced Of
the Truth.
He Has a. Last Become a Firm Believer.

Some people are so constituted that
they prefer to keep on In the beaten path
and never to strike out for themselves.
When they are sick they rely upon few
old fashioned medicines, and apparently
choose to suffer rather than try modern
remedy Of established reputation.
Among the various Ills Of such people
none is more common than biliousness,
| which Is caused by torpor OF the liver,
thus preventing The proper digestion Of
the food. which decumposes and ferments
in the stomach. This causes dizziness,
headache, sleoplessness. pains in the
stomach and abdomen, with an accumula-
ton of gas; there is constipation and
possibly kidney trouble, the complexion is
pale and sallow and life is only prolonged
misery.
In such cases what Ia needed is u nerve
and blood builder to bring back the bloom
of youth to pale and sallow people.

THE ICE BUSINESS.
Various Reports Concerning the Situation on
tho Hudson River.

The size and value Of the Ice crop IN the
Pepobscot and other Maine rivers Is gov
erned to a great extent by tho quantity
and quality of the Hudson harvest. News
from the Hudson has been meagrc and
unsatisfactory, and the two leading Ice
trade papers do not agree in their state
ments of the conditions Of affairs In that
river. 1t Is reasonable, however, that
with the known surplus of zoe, 900 tons
and at least partial crop of new ice
there will be no scarcity in the Hudson
this year.
The Ice World, published in Albany
says IN it's January number;
From the reports published in other
columns of this issue of the Ice World it
will be readily seen that from the present
prospects the best Ice taken from the
Hudson this winter will be from the
island creeks and a few protected bikes on
the river.
As there is, however, in the course of
natural events, a cold month due i'll Feb

Der OF harvesters, who depend entirely on
their supply of ice from the main river,
have cut out, elevated and thrown into
the dump many thousand tons of poor
ice, with the hopes Of good free2e-up OF
the places they cut from, it IS but natural
to infer that considerable good ice may
yet be obtained from the river, # the fates
arc propitious to the ice men who have

the sake of securing.a crop to fill their
houses.
In any event 1t will cost every ice hsr

Boston. Feb. 10.-A brutal assault
which may result in a double murder was
committed in Charlestown. late this at

him for his bad habits He became very
angry, seized Ratchet, dealt his wife
several blows on the head, nearly killing
her outright.
Bridget came to her assistance, but was
