PUMPS on FARMS, TOO.
Milkman Says He Had Just Taken Watered
Supply on q Train.

hpHty VII = tet
1t was shown in the court Of Special Ses-
sions yesterday that at least some Of the
adulterated milk sold in New York is
watered before it leaves the farm. George
W. Ernst, a driver for William Reese, a
wholesale milk dealer at lis Second avenue,
pleaded guilty to having in his possession
milk 30 much adulterated as to be unfit for
use.
Ernst's lawyer stated to the court that
Ernst had ju-t got the milk from an Erie
Railway train when he was arrested. In
spectors from the Board of Health testified
that the cans In the train were wired 80 that
they could not be opened from the time
they left the farmer until they reached the
city dealer. Ernst was let of with q sus-
pended sentence, as this was his first ar
rest. In announcing the decision of the
court Justice Mexican said:
This court has long suspected that much
Of the adulterated milk sold in this city was
watered in the country. This case proves
1t. The ingenuity OF the farmer beats the
world. ! suppose the excuse will be that
their COWS drink too much water"
For pleading guilty to a second offence
Charles Spreeman, a wholesaler of 500
Second avenue, was fined $3.50. His milk
was q per cent. below standard. John II.
Stellman Of l1S Fra nklin avenue, Brooklyn,
who has considerable trade in Manhattan;

Atlanta. Birmingham IN Atlantic.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, June 1s.-New York
capitalists have purchased the NASH vile
and Huntsville Railroad, Of which j. H.
Conner has been the president, and it is
stated that the road will be completed into
Nashville within fourteen months, the road
being intended to extend from this city to
Birmingham and thence to Pensacola by q
direct line.
Mr.. Connor, while not confirming the re-
port that the road would be operated by the
Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic R lilway,
did not deny it, and 1t is not unlikely that
this company has acquired the road.
= T. NJ. Steger Of Nashville will succeed
Mr.. Common as president, and Tracy W.
Pratt of Huntsville, Ala, is one of the new
directors.
The complete OF the Nashville and
Huntsville Railway will open up one of
the richest parts OF the South. Already
the second division Of the line is nearing
compile ton, the American Railway Con-
struotion Company doing the work.
This company also has the contra ct for
building the first division, which connects
Nashville and Huntsville and work on 1t
will begin at once.
For over a year IL has been understood
that the Frisco Railroad system had designs
on Nashville and this territory, and as
that road Is known to be incidentally in
tereeted in the Atlanta, Birmingham and
Atlantic il is probable hat the Frisco is
pushing the road on to Nashville.

ICE FOR HOME USE NO HIGHER,
But Large Consumer VIII Feel the Pinch
In Supply or Cost.


Wesley NJ. Oler, president of the American
Toe Company, said to a reporter yesterday
that there would be no further rise in the
price Of ice to household consumer The
present price a hundred weight, 40 cents,
is an advance of 10 cents over the price
prior to March /, and will now stand, in
spite of the ice shortage. The price to large
and medium consumers, however, will most
likely go higher than the present figures,
80 and 26 cents q hundred weight respec-
lively.
Measures to moderate the consumption,
Mr.. Oler says, are rendered necessary by
this seasons ice shortage. The entire Ice
crop Of the Hudson River and the neighbor-
ing region this season yielded less than
/, ZOO, 600 tons, as against a capacity for
storage Of over 400, 900 tons, a crop for
1905 Of nearly 5000, 900 tons, and a con-
sumption and meltage OF nearly 1000 900
tons, 80 that the supply is only about 40
per cent. of the prospective consumption
and meltage. Consumers nave been re-
quested by letter to economic, but no
lessening Of consumption has resulted.
Therefore, il other means fail higher prices
to large consumers will be resorted to to
lessen the demand, and leave enough ice to
60 around.
As for the household consumers, eeys
Mr.. Oler. they use only about 20 per cent.
Of the ice sold, and cannot very we'll lessen
their quantities Of ice. AS the object of
raising prices is to keep the stock from
being used up too fast, they will be let
alone.

could sink an axe deeper in the wood, than
any man ] ever saw" And Cousin Dennis
said: IF YOU heard him fellin' trees In a

at work by the way the trees fell"
distinguished Lincoln ct work were his eX-
ploits in sport, TO which the applause OF the
crowd Quickened his sinews. Not content
with the mastery easily maintained over his
comrades In the rough games and contests
popular on the frontier. he gave exhibitions
Of strength that established his reputation
as an athlete without a. peer, On one occa-
the champion could lit a oask holding " gal

There wa q debate between the sup
porters and the opponents Of Socialism
Of the Metropolitan Temple. Seventh avenue
and Fourteenth street. last night. A good
many people came from ell parts Of the
town to hear the latest views on how the
republic was 10 be eaved But 20 many
morn Rrlf-announoed Socialists turned up
with minds fully made up 10 speak what
ever happened that any A No. 1 plans to
save the republic never got before the
meeting.
The meeting got under way In a very
we'll governed Socialistio n DR..
Robert Bagnell announced the subject
Of the evening as
Resoired, That Socialists are unable TO
demonstrate in detail any practicable
legal method by which their theories could
be reduced to successful practice in the
United States.
Daniel T, Kimball, an amateur indi-
~viduulist Of 1893 Broadway, delivered a
grave discourse on the affirmative side
Of the question Just as II 1t was to be regu-
lar debate and stick to the subject up for
discussion.
He soon found out differently. however,
for a MIR. Stodel, who got UP to reply,
started Off or the single tax and was called
to order at the end OF his fifteen minutes,
before, he protested, he had been able to
get in more than an Introduction.
The next man threw a few more bomb
shells into the Socialists and wanted to know
why they didn't speak to the question,
This their answering speaker started in to
do and began by attempting to explain
what socialism Is. He was still explain
ing when time was called. and 1t became
necessary to take up a collection to pay for
lighting the church.
DR.. Bagnell had all sorts OF trouble while
the plate was being. passed. One Socialist
after another leaped to his feet and asked
leave to demolish the arguments Of the
o~apitalistic speakers. But the expense Of
lighting the church was 80, and It looked
as II something more would have to be
done In the collection line before the debate
This difficulty was surmounted by the
unanimous resolution, passed after dis
covering that there had been only $4.4O
worth OF enthusiastic socialism in the
audience, to allow everybody to chip into
the plate On going out.
This opened the way to a grand free for
all speech fest.
After the time for impromptu discussion
had been twice heightened by resolution,
1t was unanimously resolved to continue
discussion Of the same question Monday
night after next. A German aroused great
applause by moving that no one who had
spo ken should be allowed to make any
speech at all next time. The motion was
passed with general reclamation.
