Ice Dealers Fined SIS Each.

Five of the fourteen ice dealers who
were placed on trial in the Grim
inal court in Philadelphia on the
charge of conspiracy to raise the price
of ice pleaded non vult contendre and
threw themselves upon the mercy of
the court. A plea of this character is
virtually an admission of guilt but car.
ried with it the excuse that the OF
fender had no intention to break the
law and had no knowledge that an Of
Tense was being committed. District
Attorney Bell then asked the court TO
direct a verdict Of not guilty in the
cases of seven of the other defendants.
Henry w. Bahrenberg, president OF
lhe Mountain Ice company of New
York, refused to enter the plea of non
vult and decided to stand trial. The
five pleaders were each fined s75 and
costs

4 Wonderful Escape.

Fieschl tried to assassnate King
Louis Philippe of France in July, 1885

the national guard in the boulevard du
Temple. There came crash and q
rush of bullets. Louis Philippe's arm

neck, Marshal Mortier fell dead and
about thirteen other people were killed
and thirty wounded. Fieschi had taken
the upper floors of house several
weeks before and there rigged up an
oaken frame four feet by three feet six
inches, supported on four posts of oak
and itself supporting twenty-five gun
barrels fixed in grooves at various
angles so as to command an area of
twenty-five feet in length and ten feet
in height. When he fired the train OF
powder that let off his battery the king
would have been killed if four barrels
had not burst and two missed fire.

PROTEST TO THE PRESIDENT.
Letter Carriers Think New Ruling OF
Postmaster General Too Severe.

New York, Nov. 27.-President Tay-
lor of the National Association of Let
ter Carriers at Sundays meeting of
the Central Federated union asked
the c. F. U. TO send letters to Postmas-
ter General Cortelyou and Pres ident
Roosevelt protesting against a recent
ruling of the postmaster general to the
effect that a letter carrier who was
absent 80 days in a year should be
called on TO send in his resignation.
Formerly, he said, when letter car
rier was incapacitated from illness for
a long period of time, even if it was a
year, he was not paid during the time
he was sick, but was restored to his
place when he became well.
Now a man might break his leg
slipping on pavement while deliver
ing letters" he said, "and be laid up
for more than 80 days. Some men who
were dangerously ill., and have died re-
Gently, had, | have no doubt, their
deaths hastened by learning of this
ruling. | know one man who had
been GS years in the service, and who
was dangerously i'll. He was called on
on April to resign, unless he was at
his post within 80 days, and he died
on April Z, his death being hastened,
l have no doubt, by this ruling"
He said that the ruling had an ap-
parently mitigating clause which speci-
fed that meritorious service would
count, and be the cause of leniency on
the part of the local postmasters.
This, however, was too indefinite The
request of President Taylor was
granted
