Interest is intense in the city pri-
mary TO be held to-day, as was shown
by the enthusiastic and general dis
cussion of the subject on the streets
and in all public places. City politics
was the one topic of compelling inter
est yesterday. as it will be to-day.
All arrangements for the conduct
OF the primary have been completed,
as the managers and clerks were ap-
pointed at the time the date of cleo
ton was fixed. The polls will open
at 6 O'Clock in the morning and close
at 6 ocock in the evening, thereby
allowing sufficient time for all voters
to cast their ballots and for the ballots
to be counted before a late hour.
It is expected that the count of the
ballots will be completel and the
official results made known before
o'clock. Until the final result is an
nounced there will be the most intense
interest manifested by both sides
Probably very few primaries in the
history of the city have been more
hotly contested at the polls than will
be the one today
Both sides have completed all ar
Tangements to get out the largest vote
possible for the conItending candidates,
and there is little doubt that very
large number of the names regis
tered will be voted

Prices sold about II to 13 points net

was checked, but it was estimated
that no less than 100000 bales Of
short contracts were coverel on this
improvement, which suggested plenty
of selling power, and while the ad

GROWING CHURCH
INTEREST.
Attendance Increasing Every Sunday,
and Sunday School Growing.

If one is to judge by the increasing
interest in the new Union Church Of
Palisade, it is bound to be an unusual
success, and therefore, great institu-
ton for the general all-round benefit
to the community
The opening was SO unostenta-
tiously made on January first, when
Mr.. Beattie gave the first sermon that
many did not know the doors were
even open till the news got better
spread around, and the general in
Huence began to get in its good work.
On January goth there were so many
unexpected attendants upon the serv-
ices that the Trustees then and there
began to wonder what they were 60
ing to do if this interest kept up AS
George H. FreW put it, "Where are
we going to put the rest of Palisade
if they all come in? This little crowd,
which is large for us, is not one-third,
perhaps not one-fourth of the num-
Der we could have from Palisade
alone, to say nothing Of our neighbors
who might want to drop in on us
now and then when our new minister
gets better known on the Hilltop sec
ton"
That was the way Mr. Goodman
thought, also, and the matter was one
of such serious import to him that he
said: "The only way out of it is to
just have the stairway built to the
upper auditorium and let them see
what really delightful church we are
to have when we rise from this pleas
ant basement"
And it looks like the interest mioht
soon become so widespread that the
big end of the church might be under
taken sooner than was thought. No
one looks for the necessity of trying
to build the completed church accord
ing to the plans, but the present in
terest may mean that and nothing else
sooner than anyone expects it.
The Sunday School, also, has grad
ually increased, till each Sabbath has
shown a larger attendance

CHAMPION ICE FLOE.

=. Plunge Through 1t.

That staunch ferry boat that has

more than it could chew on the six
thirty a. m. trip, January 20 1t left
the New York side on the quarter
after the hour and had no trouble,
but fifteen minutes later on the return
field Of ice of many acres had floated
down the river on the outgoing tide,
and when the Edgwater's steel PROV
lit into it, it baked then and there,
seemed to have crawled on top of the
heap, got many bumps, then sat down
on its launches to look around The
ice was piled up in boulder fashion
for a hundred feet on the edge of the
ice field, and looked to be three or
four feet above the water. OF course,
it was deeper below the water line,
and this made it feet thick. and the
Edgewater threw up the sponge and
backed out, sl1irting finally around to
the north, circling the floating island,
and making the pier some ten minutes
late The oldest ,commuter did not
recall ever having seen such a messy
mass or one so difficult of being
broken up by plunge. At the best
it might have resisted a twenty-knot
battle ship.
