CARBONDALE.
AN ICE TRUST.
Scranton Parties Negotiating for
Carbondale Ice Trade.

Scranton men scooped our water
plant and doubled the rate and now
capitalists from down the valley are
negotiating for the Carbondale ice
trade, and IL they succeed II will prob
ably cost more to keep cool than It did
last summer when there was much
competition.
Charles Schadt has been conducting
the negotiations and yesterday there
were only few hundred dollars diff
ference between him and the local
men.
The business was so cut up year
ago that profits were reduced to min
imum and prospective conditions are
particularly favorable to a deal.
