MUNICIPAL ICE PLANT.
Would Be Popular Move in Connec.
 ton With the Bond Issue.

Some of the city fathers have again been appealed to on the ice question, but 1t is safe to predict that nothing can be done about 1t this year. anyway, except to talk it over and then decide that 1t wouldn't pay. just as former board of aldermen did some time ago. It appears to be pretty generally believed that the city could make money in the busi- ness of hauling ice and selling 1t at as low a figure as people used to get 1t before the big companies pooled their stocks and fixed the prices SO that ice is now out Of the reach of the common people. What was pro posed few years ago was that the city harvest the ice on the East Mountain and Cooke street reser- voirs and sell 1t at cost to private families, and the thing had SO far progressed that steps were about to be taken to make provision to give it a trial when some of the dealers had heart to heart talk with tihe al- dermen and convinced them that 1t wouldn't pay. and not a word has been said about 1t since. But 1t is likely to come up again. but not right away. because the boys who look out for the legal aspect of things say that the city has no charter rights to en- gage in that kind of business and that in case the aldermen should de- eide to go Into the business permis- sion would have to be secured from the general assembly before a pound of the stock could be sold. Just now many citizens are carried away with the Idea of municipal ownership. and the encouraging report made the other night regarding the reduced cosf of repairing sidewalks by the city instead of having each man at- tend to such walks ss abut on his property, has set others thinking 90 that really considerably more than half the people of Waterbury have becofne converted to the municipal plan of doing things. and fl the city should ask for a bond issue for the purpose of installing an Ice plant it would be sn even more popular move than some Of the propositions sdyo- cated by the department of public vorks with reference to the care of the public vays and city parks

THE EARTH OPENED.
Csused Bv Earthouake- Many Lives
 Were Lost.

Victoria, B. C.. May 25.--Mail ad- vices from the Orient state that an earthquake, causing great loss of life i and considerable damage to proper ty, occurred at the beginning of May at Uniankai and vicinity in Mongo- Ma. The Pekin Times reports that cnasm of several feet wide was caus- ed by the earthquake. The walled city 3of Uniankai was almost completely destroyed, the loss Of life being very heavy.
 Omcials at Pekin had received news of calamity of exceptional se- verity and arrangements were being made for the relief of the people in distress. Severe shocks are also re- ported from FOkien, province of Chi- na, the most disastrous in Chuen, Chou prefecture, where many build ings were destroyed; the loss of life was unknown.
 The Hunkhutza brigands have fo- mented a serious insurrection in Peng Tien province, Manchuria. The noun ted bandits established themselves in . village thirty miles east of Mukden and mounted three quick firing guns on an elevation guarding the ap- breaches to the village. The Tartar general Chao Erhsen despatched some mounted troops. aided by the Japa- nese police at Mukden. and they were defeated. losing many men, horses, arms and ammunition. Two regiments of foreign drilled troops were then ordered from Chihle to reinforce a Manchurian battalion sent to the stronghold. Before the foreign drilled troops arrived. the Manchurian bat. talion was driven back with loss. Em- boldened by such success. the Hun gnutza secured large additions and made . number of raids to villages west of Mukden. The foreign drilled troops have taken position seven miles east of the rebels and were awaiting endorsements by three brigades sent from Chin Chou to sup press the insurrection: sA,
 Serious risings are reported in oth- CT provinces of China. In Monan the rebels destroyed the government buildings. but dispersed on arrival of troops. In, Honan government troops were defeated in pitched battle with 10000 rebels and many rifles were captured by the victors.

SPECIAL MEETING
Of City Council May Be
Called to Investigate.
MAYOR STATES THAT CEMENT
BEING USED WAS DAMAGED 71
WATER DURING HURRICANE
WORK NOT UNDER suPERvs
ION OF BOARD OF PUBLIC
WORKS.

A matter which will probably Gauss
an investigation Is the announcements
by Mayor Chas. H Bliss that in his
opinion damaged cement Is being
used by the contractor in the founr
dation of the new city hall. the con-
.struction of which has just COM
menced. The mayor. in an interview
with a Journal representative on Fri
day stated that he had notified Chair
man L. Hilton Green, Of the Board OF
Bond trustees. and the latter has re-
piled in a letter to him In which he
states that he has notified Architect
Ausfeld who has the contract Tor
supervising the construction, and II
is probable that the architect will
come here at once from Mcntgom'
cry.
Yesterday afternoon the mayor was
still considering the matter and sta
ted that he was somewhat puzzled as
to what steps to take In the matter,
but thought that he would stop the
work on the building Monday and
call the council in special session to
pass upon the matter, as at present
there Is no person supervising the
work for the city and looking after
it's interests.
Regarding the damaged cement, the
mayor stated that during the hurr1-
cane the cement being used was ex-
posed to the rain. and that 1t became
aset,' and consequently unfit for use.
That portion Of the cement however.
which has become "set" In each bar
rel is not being used, but the mayor
questions whether or not the entire
lot has not been damaged to some
extent. and does not believe that 1t
should be used in the foundation OF
| the building.
A portion Of the foundation has al
ready been placed, and when a Jour-
nal representative visited the site
Yesterday afternoon 1t appeared very
firm and hard
