1T WAS A SCORCHER
Only Three Days of Summer Warmer
Than Yesterday

Only. three days during this SUMMER have
been warmer than yesterday. The heat
was intense all during the day until near
ly dark when it aIbated slightly, owing to
the clouds that formed about that time.
The report of the weather bureau shows
that the maximum temperature on June
% was 100: on July IA, SO, and on yester-
day, 96.6.
There was not breath of air stirring
yesterday which increased the humidity.
On every hand could be seen perspiring
people, swearing at the weather and Won
dering what Birmingham could have done
that 1t should deserve such punishment.
Many unhesitatingly declared that it was
by far the warmest day of the summer,
and they cannot Well be blamed for such
an assertion.
No cases of prostitution have been heard
of, with the exception of horse attached
to a delivery wagon. The animal was over
come by the torridfty of the heat, but
was soon revived.

SUNDAY Laws
Church People Are Afraid They Will be
Repealed

Apprehensive that efforts will be made to
repeal the present Sunday laws. the young
peoples society of the First Methodist
church has called a general meeting of
the young peoples societies of the city to
take such action as is found expedient to
meet the emergency The meeting will be
held in the lecture room of the First
Methodist church at o'clock on Tuesday
night next, and an organization will prob
ably be formed to resist any effort in the
direction of repeating or modifying the city
laws in regard to saloons.
The following is the call which was is
sued at the last meeting of the society:
"In view of the aggressive forms of evil
which threaten the sancity of our Sabbath
day, and trample on the civil and religious
rights of all good citizens, we deem it
eminently fitting that our young people S
religious societies should unite in an effort
to inaugurate a system or plan by which
we may the more successfully resist our
common foe.
at has been officially reported that a
movement to repeal the Sunday closing
law is on foot To fail to raise our voices
in an endeavor to prevent this would be
dereiction of our duty.
"It is desired that all the societies be
represented; therefore We ask the assist
ance of your organization in this work.
Let a committee of five be appointed to
meet with the other representatives In the
lecture room of the First Methodist
church at D. M, on August 20, 1899.

hands with President Earle of the board.

east Lynne at East Lake

According to promise. east Lynne" was
put on at East Lake last night. and in a
very creditable manner, too. Miss Warren
made her appearance in a dual roll. that of
Lady Isabel and Madam Vine, and to both
she did justice. Her last nights emotional
work was filed with praiseworthy bits of
acting which the audience enjoyed. Mr..
Chapman was seen as Francis Levison.
and Miss Aida Gardner as Miss Carolina,
both of whom added strength and tone to
the performance.
The production of this great play was en-
joyed by quite a large crowd, and an es-
pecially large one when the weather is
taken into consideration.

TRUST GETS HOLD
OF ICE COMPANIES
Gigantic Combination Formed in
New York.
THE BIRMIN CHAM CONCERNS
Options Are Said to Have Been OBJ
tanned Upon Them-It Will Con-
troll Output of All the
Large Cities
THE BIRMINGHAM CONCERNS

"Would you like to be.'the ice MANI"
was asked of the trust
The weather was very warm. There were
certain persons making it still warmer for
the trust" The trust" thought it
wouldn't be so bad and SO the great
American ice trust was formed and christ
ened the American Ice company This is
the story of the trust and the 'ice
man.
The rumor comes from New York that
the control of the entire ice business of
Birmingham and other southern cities will
soon be acquired by gigantic national
let trust which is said to now hold the
option all plants and privileges. The ice
trust Is financed by the Rockefellers
The Consolidated lee company of New
York, in which John F. Carroll, of Tam
many hail. is largely interested. has gone
into the trust along with the Knicker-
booker Ice company, of Maine. The new
corporation will be known as the American
Ice company. It's capital stock Is $6O,Ooo.-
600, equally divided between the preferred
and common. Shares of the Consolidated
and Knickerbeeker companies have been
exchanged for a like number of shares of
the American Ice company. 1t is prob
able that the same plan will be pursued
with the Birmingham and all other COM
panies which it is proposed to bring into
the combination. majority of shares OF
each smaller company will be held in the
treasury of the trust
They Now Have Options
Promoters of the trust have been quietly
at work during the last few months buy
ling up the control of concerns elsewhere
and are said to have already acquired the
Washington, Philadelphia and Richmond
companies, among others, while in the case
of Birmingham and certain other cities
only options were secured. Advantage. 1t
is said, will be taken of the options within
a very short time and when the transfer
of stock is made the local directors will be
organized
Efforts were made to obtain q charter
for the trust under the laws of Maine,
but they failed. The purpose was to get
control of all the available ice producing
rivers of that state, shut out competition
and get the privileges that no other COM
pany could obtain. The Consolidated and
Kniekerbocker companies control large
part of the territory already.
The American Ice company, incorporated
on March H. last, under the laws of New
Jersey, has wide sweeping powers which
enable it to do almost any kind of work,
manufacture, to build railroads, run
steamships, establish banks and engage in
many other lines of business
