On ICE PRICES

Rev. T. Richard Peede. pastor Of the
Broad street Baptist church, talked about
ice ana the prices which are being charg-
ed for that commodity at the service
which he held last evening. To be sure
the price OF ice Is not quite so live a sub
tect as IL was a few weeks ago. In fact,
1t Is possible that his hearers might have
been just a little more interested IL he
had talked about the cost OF coal, for IL
there are many more such nights as last
night every householder can put tub OF
water out I'm the back yard and have his
own little ice crop, which will only cost
the price OF the water and that will be
paid by the landlord.
However, Rev Mr. Peede has been up I'm
Maine during the hot spell and he found
that the ice dealers up there were sell
Ing Ice pretty cheap and last evening he
told his congregation all about H. So far
as known, his information was not the
result Of long and searching investiga-
tion, but his remarks on the subject were
interesting and they were also forcible
for he denounced the ice companies for
their cXtortionate charges and declared
that because of them many poor people
had been made TO suffer during the past
summer.
THERE ARE Two FACTIONS.
There was a chance for trouble I'm the
vicinity Of the new Polish church on High
street yesterday. This church has recent
ly been started In the old Temperance hall
and IL appears that there are two factions
In the society, each one OF which consid-
ers that the other is an intruder The
pastor OF the church is Rev. Mr.. Kruger
and from information which had reached
him he believed that there was likely to
be some trouble yesterday forenoon. so
he called on Chief Lambert 60 send some
Officers 20 the place. couple OF police
men were put on duty there and later in
the day couple more were sent to the
place and IL was because OF their pres
cnce that the day passed without any
outward violence. But throughout most
OF the day there was crowd congregat-
cd In that vicinity and there was a lot
Of wrangling. IL is said that threats of
violence against the church building and
against the pastor have been made and
more trouble is looked for later
