year and also u new management.
M. w. Fisher, late Of the lndepen-
dent Observer, the Office OF which

7th having purchased the paper and
its splendid outfit, one Of the finest

shortly remove to Orlando, Fla. /,
and engage inthe pleasant andprofit-
occupation Of pineapple culture.
We experience n feeling Of sincere
and profound regret in thus part
ing from our esteemed confrere.
Our relations extending over a
score Of years have ever been Of
the most pleasant nature and while
Florida gains u most exemplary
citizen, Louisiana loses an honor
able, patriotic man, and journalism

of experience and energy, has as
sumed control OF the New Iberia

paper has been q potent factor in
the development Of Iberia parish

ICE TRUST RESERVATIONS.
Six Directors Get Out, Stccks Go Down,
and Prices Up.

NEW YORK. March 12.-Six directors
of the Ice Trust have resigned their
Offices. it transpired yesterday. Those
who have retired are Charles w. Morse.
formerly the company's president; C. I.
Barney. f. K Sturgis. W. H. Gelshenen,
E. II. Rood and J. W. Scott.
Their retirement which was unexpected
by Wall Street, together with the publi
cation of the company's annual report.
showing a decrease in surplus of s306, ,955.
accounted for a sharp break in the prices
for ice common and preferred on the New
York Stock Exchange. The common
tumbled on sales of IA. 100 shares to 23hs.
rallying, however. at the close to 24Is.
which was still points under Mondays
closing price. The preferred on sales of
$50 shares. broke to 90, which was the
closing price and 1s4 points under Mon
days final figures. 9
President Schoonmaker, in his annual
report, said that business during the past
year had been very satisfactory. He was
of the opinion that the price OF ice would
be advanced this summer in consequence
of shortage in the crop and the difficulty
of harvesting IL owing to frequent snow
storms.

PURITY ELECTION SYNDICATE.
Candidates Kept Their Pledges Not to
Buy Votes.

VINELAND. y. J.. March $50 bitter
were the factionaI fights in vineland that
many anticipated wholesale purchase of
votes and a steady stream OF drinkabies
on the streets during the borough eIec-
tion yesterday. But, contrary to expec-
tations probably no election ever held
here was more decent, quieter. or freer
from corruption.
This condition was brought about by a
solemn pledge OF all the candidates for
Office over their signatures that they
would not use any money in the way of
purchasing votes or in the purchasing of
intoxicating drinks in connection with
the election"
When the pledges were published yes
terday nearly everybody laughed and pre-
dcted a farce. The plan worked unex-
pectedly we'll, however. and everybody is
iubilant over its success.
