SUES FORMER WIFE
Present Mrs. Freder OK eebhard in
Mysterious Suit.

NEW YORK. Jan. Si.-Perhaps the
most mysterious lawsuit ever sched-
uled in this county is the notice Of issue
filed in the Supreme Court in the ac-
tion for $4,000 brought by Henry VIM
satt against his FORMER wife, Marie L.
Gamble, who IN theatrical circles was
known as Marie Wilson, one Of the
"Florodora" girls, but who is now the
wife Of Frederick Gebbard.
No bill Of particulars or complaint
has as yet been filed in the case, but it
is understood that the action Is
brought to recover a Certain percent
age Of the hundreds Of thousands Of
dollars that the "Florodora" girl made
in Wall Street speculation. It is not
definitely known how much money she
cleared, but the figures have been
placed as high as s750000.
Henry Best. OF No. 60 Wall street,
who filed the notice OF issue, refused
to discuss the case. and Paul ]. Kier-
nan, who represents the defendants,
would only say:
"The suit is a ridiculous attempt on
the part OF Mr.. Wimsatt TO get $4,000.
There is absolutely no foundation for
the action"
Hearing what Mr. Kiernan had to
say, Mr.. Best would only reply;
THAT is for a jury Of twelve men
and not for Mr.. Kiernan 10 decide. II
we did not think we had good cause
for action the suit would never have
been commenced"
The case VIII not be reached until
March. and in the meantime the law
yers say they will not discuss it.
Mr. Wimsatt was a clerk employed
by the government at Washington
when he eloped and married the plain
tiff. who was then but 16 years Of age.
They lived happily for a time. and then
she divorced HIM. II was announced
i'm September that on January ?. 1905
the plaintiff was married 70 Frederick
Gebbard.

COLD SNAP MAKES
ICE PLENTIFUL
No Reason Why High Prices

II ice IS abnormally high in price
next summer It will be simply because
the dealers desire to 'gouge" the pub
lie. Before the ice now ON the ponds
lakes and dams is exhausted more than
sufficient for another summer viii have
been harvested. The cold snap has
been general, so that all the smaller
dealers in roundabout towns and, in
deed, all over the country within the
ice zone, have an opportunity OF har-
vesting a supply and viii not next year
he dependent upon the mountain Ice
men for their product
The cold snap has saved many Ice
dealers from utter failure and the pub
lie from such an ice famine as 1t has
never known. the dealers say. From
the depths Of despair to the heights
Of plenty has been the experience OF
the ice men in the past two weeks
They were all ready and waiting when
the chance came and thousands Of men
were at once put 10 work wslen the
ponds froze. The result is enough ice
TO tide them over another summer and
IL the present ice remains or is follow
ed by the usual early February cold
snap every house can be filled and
more than sufficient for a single sum-
mer will be I'm storage.
The cold weather has kept down
the demand for ice so that the manu-
facturers Of the artificial product, who
had heen sclling their iqe almost as
rapidly as they made T., have been aoie
70 store a portion.
Preparations Cor a big harvest were
under way IN nearly all sections OF
the natural ice belt curing December,
hut comparatively small amounts OF
ice were clt or housed. Some f-inch
I, 12-inch ice was harvested at vari-
GUS rolnts in the New England States,
most Of this being for immediate use.
In the Pccono Mountain region l2-inch
20 1s-inch ice was reported about De-
cenroer 49,, and number Of ice men
were busy cutting ice. although little
was doae by the larger concerns toward
filling their houses.
In New York State the Hudson river
was reported closed as far south as
Coxsaclde by December 10 and ice IN
this river and the Mohawk ranged from
two TO eight inches in thickness az
Christmas time. Mild weather later
however. prevented work in the ice
fields.
An idea Of the profits from last sum-
mer's squeeze is gained through partial
revelations m the annual report Of the
American Ice Company, New York, for
the year ending October 81, 1905, which
was issued December "a. II shows

MANY CANDIDATES
SEEKING OFFICE
Several Applicants For Super
intendeRCy Of the County
Hospital
BLACKBURN THE FAVORITE

Politics was sizzling at the County
Hospital at Farnhurst yesterday be-
fore and after the regular monthly
meeting OF the trustees OF the institu-
ton. The fire under the political pot
that caused it to boil so lively was the
question who was to be selected super
lntendent OF the hospital next month
when the new board will meet for the
first time and when organization will
be effected.
At present y. Frank Blackburn is sii-
perintendent and has been for the last
FIVE years. There are members in the
present board. however. who seem GO
think Mr.. Blackburn has been there
long enough, and that he should give
way TO some other man. IL is charged
by his opponents that ne is a little too
extravagant In his method OF running
the place. ana assert much money
could be saved the county il the truss
tees had a man ia his place who would
use more economy IN financing the
county institutions
Further than this. Il is admitted by
an that Mr. Blackburn has made an
excellent superintendent He has had
some difficulty with the employees Of
the place and this has redounded 60
his discredit with some OF the mem
bers Of the board. but there are others
who uphold him in the stern manner
IN which he handled those employees
who attempted to dictate to him IN the
governing Of the hospital Mr.. Black
burn has been the superintendent, and
as such could not afford to allow those
under him to have their say in the
mana cement Of the institution.
Prominent candidates
Some very prominent men have come
out as candidates for the place, and
the fight for the position promises "a
be interesting. Among the candidates
are James Foster. OF Now Castle, whC
was a candidate for sheriff at the las
election. Another candidate Is Georg,
Knots. Of Appoquinimink hundred
who was formerly a member OF IN,
Board OF Trustees. Jehu Davis, o
Pencader hundred. is another candi
5ate. James II. Folk. Of Christian,
hundred lat present member OF th'
board. Is also candidate. and has Z
strong backing for the office.
However, Afr. Blackburn has to'
many friends in the board to be dc
feated. Inquiry among the member
showed that nearly all Of them wer
favorable 10 him, and e is not though
he will he defeated al the coming reor
ganzatlon Of the board. His record 10
the past has been a good one. and hl
manner Of running the institution ha
proved MIN a ca Dable man for the DO
sition. He is as economic as Il is pos
sihle TO be- and the manner in whic
he manages the hospital on the com
. naratively srall appropriation alinwe
him is sufficient proof that he is care
ful with the county funds. He ha
been obliged to take a firm stan
sraiu-t some OF the employees becau7
these men. who thought they ha
friertls among the members OF IN
board and thought that they could z
as they liked regardless OF what IN
superintendent would say. His chance
OF being reelected are considered goo
as none OF the candidates who hav
yet announced themselves have mus
tered enough votes among the member
to defeat him.
