SUES THE SOUTHERN ROAD.
Arthur Il. Mnnkin Demands $4,000
Damages.

The Southern Railway Company was
made defendant in a suit for $4,000 dam
ages instituted by Arthur E. Mankin, a
former employe of that company, who,
through his attorney. Franklin J. Mackay,
asks the amount named because of in
juries alleged to have been sustained by
the plaintiff.
In his declaration Manldn states that
he was one of gang of workmen in the
employ of the Southern Railway Company
which was sent out on February II last TO
remove the snow from certain parts of the
tracks of the defendant company. He says
that as an inducement for him 10 under
take the work the railway company prom
ised to furnish warm and comfortable
car for the use of the workmen while en-
gagged in this service, to shelter and pro
tect them from the severity of the weather
Notwithstanding this promise the plain
tia declares that the defendant not only
failed to provide such car, but actually
drove him out of the one which was pro-
vided for the use and shelter of the work
men. BY this act of the defendant, Mankin
says, he was compelled TO remain in the
open air during the greater part of the
night of February 10 last, and as result
of such exposure his feet and the lower
part OF his legs were frostbltten, and he
was thereby permanently injured.

less than $4,000. 600. The preferred stock.
therefore. more than covers the actual
value of the property.
This method of forming new industrial
corporations is a favorite one Just now.
II has been tried in almost every industry
in the country, and in every city of impor-
tance The projectors reap a rich re-
ward. In the case of the Ice Trust the
owners OF the old concern are paid part in
cash and part in stock They get good
value for the property. because they are
allowed TO place a high original price upon
it. Later the remainder of the stock, the
overcapitalization, is fioated as best II can
be. and as ii is all profit. and immediate
profit, made out OF nothing but wind, it
is rich harvest for the promoters.
But even though the common stock
may never pay a dividend, there viii be 4
tremendous amount OF preferred STOCK,
which must be provided for. II is an in
teresting question where the profits are 20
come from that are TO pay the dividends
that will be required on this $50 on 10 Of
preferred stock. One of the chief conten-
tions of the trust at present is that the
price OF ice will be cut way down and all
the business secured. practical ice nan
can figure out the problem very satisfac
torily to himself that this will not make
profits. AT the prices the trust has offered
some CUSTOMERS lfe more ice lueE sell tne
larger VIII be the loss.
AS a matter of fact, there is every rea-
son 10 believe that the trust does not in
tend to serve ice in Washington any
cheaper than il has been sold here oiore if
as cheap, as soon as il obtains a dig field
of operations and the majority OF cCsto-
mers. If ii should occur, as the trust
hopes, that II should obtain the entire con-
troll of the local business, there is the best
of reason for believing that il would raise
prices higher than they have ever been be-
fore, as they have been raised in Ba.ti-
more.
The actual story of the trust in Bati-
more can be told in few words. When
| the campaign began in that city the price
of ice was reduced to - cents a hundred
| pounds, or $3.50 ton. When the entire
control of the business was obtained, the
| price was advanced to as high as 40 cents
hundred pounds in some cases or Is =
| ton. Washington customers may fare as
| badly, IL precedents are worth anything.
"A prominent officer of the Independent
! Company recently made the statement 10
| a friend that every contract made by the
| Knickerbocker Company TO serve ice for
| a period of years at low rate can be
broken within thirty days if desired. 1t is

AGED MAN HANGS HIMSELF.
Body of Frederick Sagnusie Found
Dangling From u Tree.

Frederick Sagauske, eighty-two years OF
age, committed suicide early this week by
hanging himself with a rope TO a limb of
tree near the home of his daughter, on the
Marlboro Pike. two miles from the District
line, in Maryland. The body was discov-
cred by a colored man yesterday morning.
Sagauske had been missing since Tuesday,
and il is thought he ended his life on that
day.
The deceased lived alternately with son
and daughter, whose homes are about
half a mile apart 1t was his custom TO
spend part of a week at one home and
then remove TO the other for few days
moving back and forth as the whim struck
him. He came to the home of his daughter
on Saturday and remained there until Tues
day On that day the daughter had oc-
casion TO 90 TO market and left her father
TO care for her children during her alb
sence. When she returned to her home the
old man had disappeared, and the daughter
supposed he had gone to the home OF her
brother.
The son had not seen his father since
Saturday. and supposed he was still at
the daughters home. 1t was due to this
fact that no apprehension was felt for the
safety of the old man. Each OF the chill
dren supposed the father was at the home
of the other.
When the suicide was discovered yester-
day by the colored man he at once notified
Sapauske. ir. and he communicated the
Intelligence to his sister Both were at
loss to understand why their father aad
taken his life, and can attribute the act to
nothing other than mental arrangement,
| brought on by old age. The father was in
remarkably good health for man of his
advanced years, and had apparently been
| in good spirits.
When found the body was almost in a
sitting posture hanging from small limb
| of the tree. The limb was not stou-, and
the weight of the body had caused II TO
bend 10 such an extent that the feet OF th.
man dragged on the ground and caUsec the
body to bend at the hips. IhH dlscovefy
was made at o'clock shortly aftorward
John e. Morrison, justice OF the peace
| acting as coroner, summoned jury ard
held an inquest over the temains at the
house of William Snowden, near the scene
! of the death.

banging and decided r'iat death was due

prices in any OF the cities opposition COM
panies have been formed which have been
able 10 undersell it. With its immense
over capitalization 1t must charge high
prices to live and, formed on a legitimate
basis, new concerns can sell ice much
cheaper. The same is true of old COM
panies that do not join it, In Baltimore
there is already 4O0-ton plant in opera
tion and in Brooklyn a rival concern is
turning out 700 tons daily
THE artificial process makes it i'm
possible for any concern to obtain actual
control. If there were no making of ice
it is conceivable that all the ice on the
Kennebec might be controlled by the
American Ice Company. Now, however,
as soon as the trust raises its prices be-
yond a certain low limit the making of
artificial ice becomes profitable.
''If these matters are considered in con-
nection with the fact that a larger num
ber OF people every year are coming 20
prefer artificial ice, it will be seen that the
people of Washington need not fear that
the coming of the trust will mean the eX-
termination of competition or the raising
of prices. II has been proven by careful
tests made by experts that artificial ice is
more economical than the natural product
Despite all statements to the contrary any
consumer of ice can determine this fact
for himself A block OF artificial ice if
placed in the refrigerator beside a similar
block of natural ice will outlast it.
And in addition TO this the artificial ice
is much the purer, as any careful chemical
analysis Will show. A recent analysis Of a
large number OF blocks from the Kennebec
by prominent chemist showed the pres
ence in every block OF sewage bacteria
which is always present when the typhoid
fever germ is developed. Artificial zee IS
always made from water either distilled or
filtered, or both, by a process so careful
that it is almost If not absolutely chemi-

Knickerbocker Trust has bought out the

Falls Company is not in the trust. The

1t is perhaps not generally known that

pany. This move on its part is most in
seresting one TO every consumer of ice. The
Knickerbocker Company is In itself huge

concern. The promoters OF the Knicker-
booker have recently incorporated under

which General Santa Anna handed to his
captcrs at the battle of San Jacinto in
1885. Just before this battle General
Houston received two brass six-pounders
as present from the ladies of Cincin
natl, and the cannon were used for the
first time In that battle.
Colonel a. j. Houston has concluded to
present the dagger to the city of Cincin-
natl in recognition of the aid that city
rendered to the cause of Texan indepen
dence in It's darkest Rour. He has had
some correspondence with Mayor Caldwell
on the subject and that official writes
that he will gladly present it to the city
and see that the weapon is duly labelled
and given a prominent place in a public
museum.
The dagger has twelve-inch blade OF
the finest steel and six-inch handle.
mounted with gold. The scabbard is made
OF tortoise shell with numerous bands OF
gold and silver encircling 1t.
The dagger was on exhibition in the
Spring Palace in Fort Worth and narrowly
escaped destruction when the palace
burned. The point of the scabbard was
broken off in rescuing it from the flames.
The blade Is slightly distigured in a few
places by rust.
