MAINE ICE STORY DENIED.
j. ID. ;;aftiett Declares Shipments
Will BE Made as Usual

Ine-story published in yesterday morn
! ing papers TO the effect that there would
/ De no shipment of ice from the Penobscot
and Kenebec rivers in Maine this vesr
as result Of the action of the Ice Trust
which now practically operates. and owns
all Oh the ice interests in that State. was
emphatically denied by Mr.. John d Bart
lett the local manager OF the American
Ice Company. When seen by a Times re-
porter at his residence last night. Mr..
Bartlett said:
mere 10 absolutely no truth In the
statement that schooners sent I'D to Maine
this year will not return with cargoes of
Ice. AS matter of fact We do not have

Ply the company which / represent hay-
ing almost as large ice fields located upon
the Hudson and Susquehanna rivers. al
though the stock on the latter river the
susquehanna, will be shipped exclusively
TO baltimore, unless conditions make 1t
necessary to ship it elsewhere. The state
ment that 1t is the intention of the COM
pany to abandon these two great rivers
Is absurd. As matter of fact. there is
plenty OF ice on hand now, to supply the
demands of the citizens of this city.
1t is true that the American Ice Com
pany, Wnlch now controls practically all
of the ice trade in Baltimore PhiIadel-
phia, Washington, New York, and Boston.
has controlling interest in the products
OF two Maine rivers, but to abandon them
entirely would mean too much of a loss
The company has now stored in our ice
houses on the Hudson over two million
tons OF ice and on the Susquehanna River
about IS, GEO.
Although our plant in this city for
making ice is not sufficient to meet the
demands OF the Washington public during
the summer months. they may rest as
sured that there is absolutely no danger
of an ice famine this year, as the many
tons stored in our different houses are
always available
The article dated at Bangor, Me-. states
that no ice would be shipped from the
State of Maine, and as q consequence
there is idleness instead OF work for the
several thousand men who until this year
have always found employment in filing
the Maine houses. This state of affairs ia
attributed to the action OF the lee Trust
who within the last few years secured
absolute ownership and control OF about
50 per cent OF the ice privileges. A state
meHt is also made that the haryesters
are idle, the houses neglected the ma
chinery rusting, and the big schconers,
so familiar to many Washingtonians. who
bring the ice TO this city will have to 90
away next summer empty instead of hav-
ing cargo OF ice aboard as in former

DISCARDED
The Old Methods of Treating Piles
and Rectal Diseases SuppInntcd
by the Pyramid Pile Cure.

The old methods of treating piles by
ligature. by the knife or by the cruel
methods of dilatation. besides causing in
tense pain and frequently collapse and
death, are now known to be but mere
makeshifts as far as cure is concerned.
The liver is responsible for nearly every
case of piles and the mistake has been
made of treating piles as a purely local
disease. Such is not the case, however.
and the success of the new treatment
known as the Pyramid Pile Cure has
demonstrated it,
The Pyramid Pile Cure is not a salve
or ointment but a suppository which is ap-
piled at night and absorbed into the sem
sitive rectal membrane and acts both as
a local and constitutional treatment and
in cases of many years standing this
treatment has been effectual.
Thousands of pile sufferers bear witness
to the inestimable value of the Pyramid
and even those who have undergone sur
gical operations without a cure have been
happily surprised by results from n few
weeks treatment with the Pyramid.
The relief from pain is SO Immediate
that patients sometimes imagine that the
Pyramid contains opiates or cocaine be-
cause the relief is so instantaneous. but
the Pyramid Pile Cure is guaranteed abb
solutely free from any opiate or mineral
poison whatever.
The relief is the result of the astrin-
gent properties of the remedy which
cause the little tumors and congested
blood vessels to contract ana normal
circulation is established
The Pyramid Pile Cure is strictly scien-
tific. both in its composition and in its
therapeutic action and the best feature
of it is that it is perfectly safe and harm
less. No i'll effects ever result from its
use. but only positive benefit.
A singular fact in view of the large
number of patent medicines before the
public is that the Pyramid is the only
pile cure of national reputation. 1t is
the only pile cure popular enough and
meritorious enough to be found in every
drug store in the United States II sells
at so cents for a full sized package.

AN ART TEACHER MISSING.
The Maryland Authorities Seeking
for Miss Haney.

LINDEN, Md, Feb. 1S.-Every effort is
being made to find Miss Haney, adopted
daughter of her uncle Mr. Foster. who has
been missing from her home near this
place for several days. Friends are alarm
ed at her continued unexplained absence,
the sole clew to which is found in his
note left, by Miss Haney, 1t is said, when
she disappeared: Il have gone away. and
1t would be useless for you 10 search for
me-"
For the past two years Miss Haney has
lived at the home OF her uncle, and has
of young people from the neighboring
towns and country. Her disappearance
seems all the more mysterious because
she was apparently contented, with moth
ing to mar her prospects, SO far as known
to friends On the day she departed, she
left home in the morning as usual, sup
posedly to attend her art class, and since
she has not been seen or heard from. To-
ward night the note was found in her
room by Mrs. Foster. and an investiga
ton was at once begun. Mr.. Foster noti-
fed the officers of Montgomery County,
but diligent enquiry has failed SO far to
lead to a clew In the case
II is likely the police of Washington
and Baltimore will be notified OF the case
tomorrow. in order that the investigation
may be pushed Mr. Foster has made
every endeavor to find his relative, and
now there is a well-founded fear that she
may have met with foul play or possibly
with an accident

UNION MEN DISCHARGED.
Action of the Washington Traction
and Electric Company Scored.

The discharge Of union men by the
Washington Traction and Electric Com
pany was deneHnced in unmeasured terms
last night at the meeting of the Central
Labor Union. General Manager Fuller and
Vice President George II. Harries were
! particularly referred to in the discussion
relative to the discharge OF six of the
members of the Amalgamated Association
| of Street Railway Men of America who
were recently dismissed from the service
| Of the company.
The matter was brought up on the re-
port of the Secretary of the AmaIgamated
Association of Street Railway Men, who
was one Of the employees of the company
who were discharged. The secretary
stated that he had yesterday called upon
General Harries to learn the cause of his
dismissal. General Harries, he stated,
did not give him the information he re-
Quested and referred him to Mr.. Fuller,
the general manager of the company. The
secretary stated to Mr.. Fuller that his ac-
quaintances might be under the impress
sion that he had been dismissed for dis
honesty or incompetency and he wished
to be able to contradict such a report il it
were circulated. He was informed by Mr..
Fuller. he stated, that he had not been
discharged for either of these causes. He
then asked to be informed as to the real
cause of his dismissal, but he said Mr..
Fuller stated that the company was not
| in the habit of making public the reasons
for discharging any of its employees. This.
the secretary stated, ended his interview
with Mr.. Fuller.
1t was stated after the meeting last
night that the consensus of opinion of the
members of the union is that the employees
recently discharged by the Washington
Traction and Electric Company were dis
LII,
of the association. The treatment the
Secretary of the Street Railway Mems
Union received at the hands of General
Harries, it was said, was great surprise,
because from what he had recently said
on the subject it was believed that he
would give union men a hearing at any
and all times they had a grievance 10

r RlDAY.

/. The evidence presented by witness for
the state Friday and the cross examina-
ton of witnesses by Barry's counsel did
away with much speculation that has
heretofore been expressed us to the
probable line OF defense.
There is now certainty as to the
Introduction OF the insanity plea and
the fight made by defendant's counsel to
bring to view their first move in that
direction during cross examination OF
the states witnesses, Allan Mcdonald,
before adjournment this afternoon,
although premature, resulted in the
showing OF their hand.
On the opening of court FL. I. He]ge-
son was recalled to the stand and cross
examined for defense by Attorney Bangs.
He denied having had business con-
troversy with Barry about five years
ago, although a slight difficulty arose
about bill OF lumber for barn he sold
Barry, was unable to remember the
details. AS u citizen had only fair
minded opinion Of case and no idea that
he would be called as witness. The
suggestion that he posed as general
advisor to states attorney i'll prosecut-
ing the case und was active i'll publish
ing through state press communications
attacking Barry. met with his emphatic
denial, as did also the idea suggested
that he had talked to Grand Forks
Herald about the case within the last
three weeks.
Returning TO the events OF the day OF
tragedy witness had cautioned Barry
against talking SO much OF what he had
done. When conversation between wit
ness and Barry in the presence OF Nor
gard ceased, he returned into his store,
not following Barry to Closes drug
4 store. He went there later, probably IN
q about twenty minutes and found L. W.
Cox there. 1t was witness to whom
Il Barry talked in front OF his store, Nor

Courier Democrat., 1901-08-01

Last week the CouR1ER-DEMocRAT
went to press at the time the Barry case
took an adjournment Thursday fore
noon with Attorney Knut Norgard, the
states first witness on the stand.
The afternoon session opened with the
witness taken in hand for cross examina-
tion by Attorney Templeton for the de-
tense. 1t appeared from the record OF
witness evidence at the preliminary hear
ing that witnesy then testified that he
never heard Barry state that he gave
Mellem time to pray; it also developed
that the evidence OF the witness conflict
ed on many other material points, and if
it is NOT stricken out will be oil very little
Importance to the state.
II. T.. Helgeson, a merchant and un-
dertaker at Milton, was next called to
the stand. He heard part OF the confess
sion made to Norgard, and to him Barry
told the motive for the crime. Three
years ago Mellum,. he said, had seduced
his sister under promise OF marriage
which he would not fulfill. Unlawful
il. t,nacy was matter OF frequent oc-
currenee, until the sister, believing she
was enciente, became demented. On
hearing this Barry became enraged and
before his temper got time to cool, he
committed the deed, which he said lie re-
GREETED, but could not help it. The eyi-
dence OF this witness was not concluded
when court adjourned at 6 o'clock.
