London, Dec. 15-The defeat Of Gen.

is one of the worst defeats the British

says the four companies Of the North

"Broadwood' 8 brigade took no part in

THE DEAL CLOSED
American Ice Co. Buys the
Boston Ice Co.
And Will Hereafter Supply Boston
Market from the Kennebec.
This Should Mean Great Increase Of Business
Along Our River.

Tho following concerning the great
ice deal in Boston is from the Boston
Sunday Globe:
1T is fact" said President Reuben
w. Hopkins of the Boston Ice Co., to
Globe man, yesterday, that the
American Ice Co. has acquired n con-
trolling interest in our company. That
is all there is to the deal and K is
all ! care to say about it,"
This official statement from the hccC
of the Boston Ice Co. is confirma tory
of the reports already published in the
Globe, and it means that Boston's
largest local ice concern will be domi-
mated by TIE so-called Ice Trust. whose
recent operations. financial and polit-
ical. have caused q big stir in New
York and almost resulted in the re-
moval Of the mayor of the city.
In confirming the reported transfer
Of control. President Hopkins intimat-
ed that the deal would make no ma
terial difference in the management of
tie local company. and that the letter
ing upon its wagons would not bc
changed.
He would not enter into the financial
details of the arrangement. but il is
understood that for the controlling in
terest which it has acquired the trust
has paid at the rate of about $500 a
share, or an amount equivalent to a
premium Of $l,50O.000 on the 100000
capital Of the company.
The most important effect Of the deal
will be a change of the base Of supply.
Heretofore the local company has
drawn principally upon this State and
New Hampshire fer its ice supplies.
but now it will receive most Of ice
from the great string Of storehouses
which the American lee 90. maintains
along the banks Of the Kennebcc river
in Maine.
The major portion of its supplies, OF
course, will come by water. and the
saving in freiGhts is expected TO
amount 10 a very large sum every year.
In course Of time system Of barge
transports ton may be introduced Ike
that in vogue in the coal business. e.
fecting further saving in freight
charges.
1t is possible that the present whole
sale price of ice may be lowered next
summer as a result Of the deal, but
the officials Of the local company z"
not seem 70 think ary material change
in retail rates will take place.
The Boston Ice Co. rs is well known.
