ICE TRUST VS.. CONSUMERS.
Large Local Consumers at Odds with tn,
of Dealers Over the In
crease I'm Price of Ice--Wtl
Buy West of Town.

A fight is now ON between the large
consumers of ice in Martinsburg and
the combine of ice dealers called by
the consumers the lice Trust" 1t
seems that the three retail dealers of
the city, who transact business ac.
cording to an agreement signed by all
of them, have raised the price of ice
one dollar a ton on ice sold to but
cheers, saloon keepers, druggists, con-
PETITIONERS and all large consumers
who buy in large quantities. The
ice company also has an agreement
with the ''Combine''not to sell TO any
dealers in Martinbsurg other than the
three included in the Combine.
This act of the Combine has in
censed the large and they
have already made arrangements to
buy ice elsewhere. They say that the
ice company has increased the price
of ice twenty-five cents per ton to the
Combine" and the Combine has
i'm turn taken advantage of this oppor-
tunitv by in creasing the price one
dollar a ton on ice sold to them. Then,
to add insult to injury, the Com
bine' says the consumers must buy
ice from the dealer from whom they
bought it last year. One dealer is
not allowed TO take the customers of
any of the other dealers in the Com
bine''.
Such are the facts in the c~ase@as told
by one of the largest ice consumers in
the city, who is also a representative
citizen. He says the large consumers
have gone together and d~ecidedfto ig-
more the lice Trust. They have
made arrangements to have 1900 tons
of natural ice harvested off the Big
Pool and shipped here by a Hagers-
town firm during the summer and de-
liyered to their places of business at
a much less cost than they have to pay
for the manufactured ice here.
One of the ice dealers stated TO an
Evening World representative this
morning that the price had on y been
in creased on the ice used in quaint
ties and that the price on ice sold for
family use would remain the same
this summer as it was last summer.

A NARROW ESCAPE.
irons.

"Untle Sam" Mcclure, the vete-
ran dri~or of the Continental hotel
bus had a narrow escape from being
killed at the Cumberland Valley rail-
road yesterday. AS he approached the
rail road the noon train was nearing
the crossing. Baggage master Dutrow
who was watching the crossing,
waved for him to stop, but he evident-
ly did not see him and kept on going
As "Uncle Sam" was about to drive
the horses across the track the train
was almost at the crossing and he
could not see it for the curtains on
the side of the bus. As Mr.. Dutrow
turned and realized what the driver
was doing he Gnickly grabbed the
horses and turned them just sa the en-
CINE grazed their heads.

The public will be glad to learn of
the return TO his business of one of
our leading merchants Mr.. Frank +.
Smurr, who has been i'll for several
months. Mr.. Sumrr was first taken
sick on Nov %. which attack kept him
in the house until about three days
before Christmas. As his many
friends will know, he was unable to

was again attacked with liver trouble
which finally proved so serious that
an operation was necessary.
He was taken to the Johns Hopkins
Hospital, Baltimore, for treatment, his
wife accompanying him. He remain
ed there until March 9th since which
time he has been slowly recovering
at his home in this city and is now on
the road to health. On and after Mon
dav April 1st Mr.. Smurr will be found
at his place of business where he will
be pleased to see his friends and pa
irons.
