THE new ice TRUST.
New York Report That Wor-
cester Interests Are
Sought Is Denied.

A dispatch from New York received
by The Spy this morning, states that
the announcement is made in a Brook
lyn paper that the Consolidated and
Knickerbocker ice companies have been
absorbed by the sixty million American
Ice Company of New York, and that the
latter concern has already secured con-
troll of the ice business of several east
ern cities, and is now in process of ac-
quiring others, the city of Worcester
among them. 1t is claimed that the
trust will soon increase it's capital, and
will acquire the plants and privileges
OF every ice concern in Worcester as
in all other eastern communities APP
proximating one hundred thousand
population. The ice trust was pro-
NOTED by Tammany Leader John F.
Carroll, and the Rockefeller millions
are backing it. 1t is understood that
the New York companies will exchange
their stock for stock in the trust, very
soon, and that a reorganization of di-
rectors will take place Immediately.
a Spy man discussed the report with
ice dealers of the city, and none of them
appeared to know anything of the ice
trust acquiring control of Worcester
| business, Major Lewis G. White of the
| Walker ice company knew Oh no toun-
dation for the report.
| E. NJ Bond was not aware of any
offer that had been made or was likely
| to be made regarding the purchase of
| the ice interests in this city. He said
| that it was all nonsense, and that there
was nothing in the report.
A. H. Sears also denied the authen-
ticity of the report. He said that il
wasn't SO, and, personally, he was un-
aware of any proposed sale. 1t had
not been talked of in this city, and he
further said that the Worcester ice
dealers went into a combination to pro
tect their own interests, He styled the
report as being all wind.

Maitres Demange and I4abori and two
more advocates were there. You could
fancy Roentgen rays of intellectually
and strength Of purpose to emanate
from that bench. An advocates profess
ion, rightly understood, is a noble pro-
fession. The military judges look, as
such, contemplate beside the wearers
of the toga. They have each and all
something in them reminding one of
Esterhazy. The minds of all move in the
narrowest grooves and are bandaged
up in notion of military authority and
convention.
The tone of the military bench is dull
and unintellectual, and l prefer the
treaclery of a French civilian judge to
the blockheadism of the military. The
former tries at least to worry the evil
deRce out Of a prisoner, but the military
judge disdains evidence and he does not
mind letting the prisoner feel at the
outset thar he thinks him guilty.
The officers who judge Dreyfus may
have, for decency's sake, to acquit. him;
but they will do so reluctantly and with
hearts filled with gal. They are not to
be converted by the evidence, but it
may, and I believe will overbear them.

Rennes, Aug. 1.-THE red and white
facade of the Lycee was bathed IN sun
shine at $40 a M, when Dpeyfus
crossed the Avenue de la Garde fsom
his prison and entered the Lycee. The
stringent police precautions, as OBJ
served during the week, were again
taken, but barely 20 persons gathered
to witness the prisoners appearance.
Col Jouaust president Of the court mar
tial, and the other members of the
court began arriving shortly after
o'clock. They were followed by Gems.
Billot and Mercier, former ministers OF
war, in uniform. The latter drove up
in an open carriage, and the small
crowd which had gathered by this time
greeted him with cries OF ''Vive Tar
NEE" and 'Vive Mercier." On aMght-
ing, at the entrance Of the Lycee, Gen.
Mercier looked very anxious, but i'm
mediately afterwards assumed a smil-
ing demeanor.
The curtain rose today on the same
theatre-like scene as Monday. The
judges in uniform were seated on the
stage behind the dark cloth-covered
table. on which in a row were their
kepiS with gay colored plumes and
heavy gold laced bands Every inch of
the court was occupied, in expectation
of a sensational scene. There were
more women present than on Monday.
The parsonage known as ia dame
blanche" (the white LADY,, who has at
tended every move in the Dreyfus af-
fair, was again present today, wearing
a superb set Of pearls but owing to the
expressed objections of Col. Jouaust she
changed her conspicuous place, on the
right behind him, for more modest,
but still noticeable position in the body
Of the hall. There was large sprink-
ling of uniforms among the audience
and row Of soldiers with fixed bayo-
nets was again arranged at the lower
end Of the hall and rendered honors in
the customary Waiter to the judges as
the latter entered or left the court.
The proceedings opened ta1nely and
the hopes of a sensational sitting began
to flag as the morning wore on and
matters began to get tedious. as NJ
Casimir-Perier and Gen. Mercier rait-
