 In June, 1905, the witness said, W. F. Lyons of the Peoples Ice company came to them with the proposal to in- crease the price to $3.50 a ton for nat ural and $4 for artificial ice,
 When his company refused, witness said, Lyons called again with the warn- ing that if they did not advance prices the Peoples company would undersell them and drive them out of business.

over Right of Way.
 EAST ST. LOUIS, H., Aug. 2.-After several hand to hand encounters among the 800 laborers, about equally divided between employees of the Louisville and Nashville railroad and the Illinois Traction company. during which pistol shots were fired, the Louisville and Nashville officials ditched two engines on disputed crossing and effectually blocked the plans of the electric road for tearing up its tracks.
 The crossing has been in dispute for several months, the Louisville and Nashville refusing the electric road per mission to cross. Just before daylight the electric road rushed its laborers to the projected crossing and tore up two of the Louisville and Nashville's three tracks.
 In the meantime the railroad con- pany hurried it's men to the crossing in time to save the third track. They also attempted to relay the other two tracks, but were prevented by the cleo tric road employees.

ARREST HARTJE MEN.
.Millionaire's Agents Charged
 With Felony.
ALMA ROSS GIVES HACSATE THE LIE
Newspaper Man Tcstincs That At- torney Marron Spoke to Him of Wifc's Love Letters Before
 Robbery Took Place.

PITTsBURG, Aug. D. Hermann Staub and John Anderson, the detec- tiyes who testified in the Hartje di- vorce case that they took the famous Hove letters' from Tom Madine's trunk after entering the coachman's room here, were arrested ut late hour charged with entering building for felony and larceny.
 Probably the most sensational incl dents md testimony in the Hartje case in the five weeks it las been running were brought out when Alma Ross, the mysterious blond" who kept rooming house. swore that Augustus Hartje and Josephine Wright frequently met at the Ross woman's house. that the Wright woman brought him there and intro duced him, and said that the house at which she had been living was too public aud too close to the Hartje warehouse The Ross woman said Hartje paid Josephine Wright's room rent thereafter. When the witness pointed out Hartje in the courtroom Hartje smiled.
 Hartje. several days ago. swore that he did not know Josephine Wright and never visited her. The Wright woman swore that she did not know Hartje. This was when Hartje's attorneys were introducing evidence In rebuttal.
 The issue to the disputed love let ters in the Hartje divorce case was defined when Tom Nadine, the coach man who is named as the corespond- ent in the case, swore that the letters which the private detectives said were taken from his trunk never were in that receptacle.
 Just before adjournment Fred Long, a newspaper man, was called to the stand by John Freeman of counsel for Mrs. Hartje.
 Long testified that Attorney Marron of Hartje's counsel told him in Febru- ary of a number of letters in the pos session of the Hartje lawyers. This was several months before Fisher. Hartje's brother-in-law. said he had told counsel of their existence. This was also some months before Madine's trunk was broken open and from which the letters were alleged to have been taken, which was in June.
 Attorney Marron became angered at Longs testimony and threatened the newspaper man with violence after court adjourned. Maron is expected to go on the stand again shortly.
