Changed Hands Thursday,
But Price Not Yet
Made Public.
HARDWICK PURCHASER.
Guaranteed Price For 10
Years to Remain at 25c
Per 100 Pounds.

Something "on ice" was expected
to be made known for several days
of this week.
Thursday a rumor became current
which is not denied by the directors,
that the Consumers Ice Co. had sold
its plant to Mr.. r. c. Hardwick, of
this city. So far as we can learn,
the terms of the sale are that per-
sons owning stock in the company
will get par for it with nearly four
years interest. Under the articles
of Incorporation the maximum price
for twenty years was fixed, and by
terms of.sale this price is guaran-
teed for 16 years more.
Another report was also in circu-
lation, saying that one of the ice
companies had been sold to a com
pany who would start a large brew
cry jim connection with it. One re-
port was that the Ellis Ice Company
was the one that had changed
hands,.
Still another report on ice"
gained circulation. The Ellis Ice
Co. which is said to be putting in a
pant double its present capacity,
had given out that during the COM
ing season it would reduce the price
to Is cents per hundred. We give
this at what it is worth.

Hurt BY Tree.

Mr.. Owen Wood, who lives about
4 miles from the city on the Cox
Mill road, was the victim of what
might have been serious accident
yesterday. He was telling a tree
which hung on a sapling and when
he went to the sapling and shook it,
the tree fell, one limb striking
young Wood, dislocating his left
hip. Drs. Stone and Caudle were
summoned and put the joint back
into position.

Eastern Capitalists Have
Been Consulted Defini-

Satisfactory
WILL SURELY BE BUILT.
Committee Says That Evry-
thing Points to Quick
Subscriptions to the
Stocks.

In talk with one of the commit
tee to solicit stock yesterday we are
told that the work of investigation
has been completed and there is
nothing to keep our people from
taking stock in the proposed cotton
mills. Every point has been care
fully looked into and the committee
will soon call upon our people to aid
in securing this great enterprise.
When asked if the mills would be
built he said most emphatically.
they would. Mr.. J. H. Anderson,
who is now in New York City, had
talked with Mr.. John C. Latham, a
authority on cotton and
cotton industries, and that after in
Mr.. Latham asserted
that all cotton mills have succeeded
and declared handsome dividends,
ranging from 18 to 40 per cent.
Eastern capital will be invested and
everything looks so suspicious that
we can positively assert that the
mills are certainty.

Napoleon's Bad Handwriting,

NJ. Houssaye attributes the muddle
over orders at Waterloo to Napoleon's
execrable handwriting. This was the
opinion of the writing master of AL
exandre Dumas: The emperor never
lost battle except by his bad hand
writing. His officers could never
make out what he meant. Remember
this, Alexandra, and make your down
strokes heavy and your up-strokes
light" Grouchy declares that during
the battle of Waterloo he could not
make out whether Napoleon wrote
"bataille gagnee" or "bataille enga-
gee" and he conjecturally read bat
tie gained. Andrew Lang in Lon

susrARD WENT LIKE suFEALo
English Game Bird Succumbed Before
Advancing Civilization.

The great bustard is the 1arest bird
that comes under the category of
game" This bird formerly haunted
all the level counties of England. and
was particularly common on Sails.
bury Plain. From the reign of Henry
VIII. repeated measures were passed
in order to protect it; and it is ex-
pressly included under the head of
game in the statute of the first year
of the reign of William w.. which
codified and reformed the laws relat
ing to game.
The close season for bustard shoot
ing was, and is, from the first of
March to the first of September.
But the native bustard is now ex.
tinct in England. The last was killed
at Swaffham, in Norfolk. in 1888. Anv
that have been shot since have been
merely casual visitors from the plains
of Saxony. The causes of the dis.
appearance of the bustard are, first,
the sport they afforded, for they were
hunted with greyhounds, as we'll as
shot; secondly, the increase in the
amount of cultivated land.
This largest of European birds,
weighing as much as thirty pounds.
could no longer find any sufficient
support on the closely cropped plains
