Ice Prices!
Cakes of 300 lbs., 9Oc
100 lbs., Soc.
For All smaller Quantities We Give The
Following Service;.

For Zoe. the hundred pound piece is
cut into ) pieces as uniform in size as
is possible to cut.
For &c. pieces the hundred pound
pieces is cut into 10 pieces as uni
form in size as possible.
AS We give the same quantity of
ice and five or ten deliveries instead
of one, for the same money, we think
we are dealing justly with the small
consumer. AS the price of coal has
doubled, and all other costs of produc-
tion and delivery of Ice has materially
increased, we think it unreasonable
for the consumer to expect the same
quantity OF Ice for nickle or dime
as they got last year, viz: lbs. for
one cent on these small deliveries.
If the consumers desire their Ice
weighed this will consume additional
time and therefore added expense, for
which they will have to pay, and the
price will be az pounds for 5c., and
ID pounds for 10c... These weights
we now guarantee. and give as much
more as the Ice will cut by cutting in
the manner above described.

NEGRO EXCURS|ON|STS

COlored Folks From Washington
And Baltimore

Razorg were flashed and reyolyers

One man is lodged in the Jail on
calvert street as result OF severely

confined to Jail in default of fine of
SO and costs, assessed against him
for resisting an officer.
The excursion party reached the
city about $50 o'clock in the after
noon, and by way OF a novelty, the
pleasure seekers coupled with the ele-
ment Of trouble makers, were ac-
companied by band OF women musi-
clans. and they paraded through the
city prior to retiring to the park. Be-
fore the party was under way scarcely
more than an hour, Aloysius Smith,

Troy attempted to interfere with

DEMOCRATS STILL
seem FAR APART
Talk Of Alliance Has Not Borne
Fruit.
CONFERENCE HERE TODAY
Representatives Of Rival Factions Hold
Pow -Wows-May Name Ticket
Thursday.

There was political talk aplenty
about the Court House here today
among the Democrats, and although
there was much gossip as to the prob
able candidates for the House OF
Delegates, Sheriff, County Commits
sioners, etc, nothing definite could be
CLEANED from any of the leaders. All
hands professed not to know a thing
as to what the final lineup would be,
and inquiries were dismissed with
the statement that nothing definite
would be given out until a conference,
which is booked for Thursday, when
ii is expected the slate will be made
up.
One thing seemed apparent, how
ever. from the information that could
be gather and that is that the rival
factions of the party are about as far
apart as they have been for many
years, and that another warm cam
paign is brewing. There are all sorts
of indications to this effect, in spite
of the fact that certain of the men
who have strong following in the or
ganization, as well as in the Progress
sive ranks, appear to be willing to
bury the hatchet and roll up an old
time Democratic majority at the
election in November However, un-
less the Unforeseen happens in the
been made in the last few weeks,
seem to have fallen through.
The Organization leaders were here
in force today and so were the repre-
sentatives of the Progressive faction.
Every section of the county was
represented in the gathering. There
were innumerable conferences among
groups OF two, three and four or more.
Those of the Progressive element,
headed by Bruner r. Anderson, of the
Fourth District, recognized as the
leader for number of years. got to-
gether in the petit jury room of the
Court House building and held a
lengthy conference. This conference
was attended by James S. Smith,
former County Commissioner of the
Fifth District; William E. Cecil, of
Millersville, who wields good bit OF
influence in his bailiwick, and num-
ber of others. James o. Atwell, of
the Eighth District, member of the
House of Delegates, was among the
throng. and it is reported that Isaac
S. Nutwell. the Eighth District leader,
also participated in the pow WOW.
Mr.. Nutwell, as is now pretty general
ly known, has drifted away from the
forces of the Organization led by DR..
George Wells.
The indications are, therefore, that
there will be no alliance between the
rival factions Of the party in the Sc
lection of a ticket, although it had
been hoped that such would be the re-
seult, because of the undercurrent of
sentiment for harmony. 1t now
seems, however, that the Progressives
the will get out of their coats and
wage hot primary campaign or else
an independent ticket will be put into
the field in opposition to the slate to
be ramed by the Organization ele-
ment

BUILDING ADDITIONS
At NAVAL ACADEMY
Contractors Begin Work To Enlarge
Bancroft Hall.
HARD TO GET LABOR
Enlargement Of the Marine Engineer
ing Structure Also Included in
The PROGRAM.

Ground has been broken for the ad-
ditions TO Bancroft Hall at the Naval
Academy, and other improvements to
be made to the building. for the pur-
pose of providing greater accommoda-
tions for the regiment of Midshipmen,
and also for the enlargement of the
Marine Engineering and Naval Con-
struction Building.
The contract for this work was re-
Gently awarded by the Navy Depart
ment to the A. d. Miller Construction
Company, of Baltimore, and it will
cost in the neighborhood of three mil
lions of dollars
A large force of workmen is. now
engaged on the work. The contrac-
tors have. however, experienced much
difficulty in getting sufficient
amount of labor owing TO the fact
that many mechanics and laboring
men are out of the city, having Sc
cured employment at one or the other
of the Army training cantonments
where higher wages are offered.
However, they expect to rush the
work to completion.
In the meanwhile, another force of
workmen is engaged in making GER
tain alterations to the Marine Bar
racks building over on the ground
known as the Government Farm,
where number of Midshipmen will
be quartered when the Academy re-
opens for the regular academic term
in October Until the additions TO
Bancroft Hall, the regular domitory
of the students, are completed, that
structure will be inadequate to take
care of the large number of students,
because of the great increase occa-
stoned by the additional number of
appointments allowed Senators and
Congressman by special Act of Con-
gress passed in March of this year.
The complete roster of the regiment
will be in the neighborhood OF 1900,
almost double the number of any pre-
vious academic year. Ii is understood
that at least one battalion of the regi-
ment will be quartered in the Marine
Barracks building. There is but a
. small detail of marines on duty here
now, and ample provision can be
made for them on the station ship
