PEN0BSCOT iCEMEN
See Good Profit in the Ice Business This
Winter.

Bangor, Me-, Jan. S.-The prospects are
that the ice crop of Maine will be a large
one.
The Penobscot river ice dealers have
begun the cultivation of their fields, but
are experiencing considerable trouble.
Last Thursday, the snow had been
scraped from all the fields, extending a
distance of four miles down river from
men having been employed for a week:
The snow had no sooner been cleared off
than another storm of snow and hail
again covered the ice. and the scrapinS
must now be done over.
No better ice ever formed in the river.
With fairly cold weather 1T is hoped that
the requisite thickness for. cutting-14 to
IS inches-will be attained by Jan. 20,
when the harvest will begin.
The capacity of the houses on this river,
ait and just below Bangor, Us 293 600 tons;
Thousands of tons will also be stacked
along the river banks. The crop of 1888
is entirely cleaned out. =,
In 1898 prices averaged better than 81 Il
ton, starting at 10 cents in February GA
advance contracts and advancing as the
season progressed to 81, ana, IN a lew IN
stances. to $3.50 a ton.
With the Hudson and all other centers
stripped of their surplus stock, 1t would
seem that too much ice cannot be cut IN
Maine this winter. and DIT is hard to see
why the dealers here cannot get at least
81 a ton for ice in 1899.
In 1898 Bangor shipped about $4,000 tons
Of ice. furnishing cargoes for about 200
vessels The industry on the Penobscot
gives employment to about 200 men ana
500 horses in the harvesting season, and
to about 400 men in the shipping season.
Much of the Penobscot crop. ut is eX-
pected, will. in future, be shipped to Cuba
and Porto Rico.

PENGUIN EGGS AND eAGLEys
The Food Of Bark GlcnhuntIey's Crew for Four
long Months.

New York, Jan. S.-Capt. r. r. Shaw
and crew of 10 men of the British bark
Glenhuntly, long given up for lost. are
alive and well and on their way to Liver
pool. They abandoned the Glenhuntly in
a fierce gale, June l. 1895. For 15i days
the II sailormen lived on Tristand
D'Acunha Isle. more than 1900 miles
south-by-west of the Caue of Good Hope.
They subsiSted on penguin eggs and the
flesh of sea eaglets and shared with the
y white inhabitants the scanty stock of
provisions that the captain of passing
vessel could spare.
After almost four months of such ex-
istence, the British warship Thrush,
making an annual voyage of inspection
through the south Atlantic. rescued the
castaWays. and, late in November, land
ed them at Simon's Bay. South Africa.
II. w. Cameron & Co., shipping agents,
have received a letter from Capt. Shaw
by way of Capetown, which tells his mis-
haps and general adventures.
The Glenhuntly, with "a general cargo,
sailed from New York for Freemantie
Australia, March 81 last. The voyage
was uneventful until the early days of
June, when the bark ran into a frightfu
storm, which so buffeted her that, June
4, CART Shaw and his crew had to ADAM
don her and take to their boats. For sew
eral days they rowed and then landed on
Tristan D'Acunha Isle, a mountainous
speck of land.

Quincy, Mass, Jan. 8.-The police
have been hard at work today on the
tragedy at the Milan house where Ce-
ella Milan was burned to death, Sat
urday. and her husband, Michael, ar
rested for her murder, and claim to
have found some new facts tending to
strengthen their belief that Milan was
in some manner connected with the
burning of his wife.
A cotton handkerchief was found on
him, today, which appeared to have
been recently scorched, while the
spots on the handle of the axe which
was found in the cellar, yesterday,
have also been more closely inspected
and the officers are almost sure that
they are human blood. A number of
the spots were moist, today.
Medical Examiner Gilbert will per-
form an autopsy. either tomorrow or
Tuesday, but Milan will be arraigned
in the court room, tomorrow, on a
charge of murder.
They had no children and lived
alone. Milan's reputation for sobriety
is not of the best. and he has been be-
fore the local court for drunkenness
and for threatening to assault his wife
a number of times.

ON THE PENoBSCOT.
Prospects for Lumber and Ice
Trade Are Excellent.
Price Of Lumber Advances and De.
mand is on Increase.
ice Crop will Be Large and Companies Expect
Heavy Business.

Bangor, Me-, JAM S.-Bangor lumber
manufacturers and lumbermen gener-
any are in very cheerful frame of
mind. All last season. business was
dull and prices very low, the summer
range on random spruce being from Sl1
TO $l3.50 a thousand feet. In the fall.
When it was too late to do much good,
there was an increase in the demand
Tor lumber at the principal Atlantic
ports, and prices advanced to $13 and
$l5 thousand feet for narrow and
VIDE spruce random.
Before the manufacturers could ship
much lumber on the market at these
rates and get the benefit of the ad-
vance. the Penobscot river suddenly
closed to navigation, leaving millions
of lumber piled up on the wharves and
no cheap way to get it to market.
The improvement of last fall, being
genuine, and based upon a general re-
Vival of business. has continued, how
ever, and is altogether likely to be
maintained through the winter, and
Bangor manufacturers are expecting
the spring market for Eastern spruce
to open as high, if not higher, than the
closing prices last fall. This means an
average advance of about 81, and that
is enough to satisfy the men who for
some years now have been saving lum-
Der on very narrow margin, if not at
actual loss.
Freights have also advanced. the
present rate from ST. John to New
York being $3.50 a thousand feet, and
1t is expected that the Bangor freight
list. (which for some time past has been
$1.75 to Boston, 81 to Sound ports and
$3.50 to New York, will open in the
spring at an advance of % to SO cents.
There are now in the woods on Pc
nobscot waters men and horses enough
to get out, with fair weather, as much
lumber as was cut last season, or about
140,000000 feet. This. with the 80 900, 900
to 100000 feet of logs wintered over
for early spring saving. will give
stock sufficient for all demands, even
in brisk season of saving and ship
ping, and leave a fair stock of logs for
the spring of 1900. Beside the logs.
Bangor will have when the river opens
about 100000 feet of sawed lumber all
ready for shipment.
There is every reason to believe that
the revival of the export deal trade.
which took 20, 100000 feet of spruce out
of Bangor in 1898, will continue, this
year. and that the shipments to the
United Kingdom will be even larger
than last years while there is also some
expectation that there will be a con-
siderable demand from Porto Rico and
Cuba for our second growth. or ship
per pine, beside spruce. Altogether.
the situation is the most encouraging
that has been known in the Penobscot
lumber trade for 10 or II years past.
and the return of prosperity to the
lumber trade means new life for all
kinds of business in this city and Eas-
tern Maine.
