MEANS A gentleman who watched the build- | ing of the Ice Palace at St. Paul says the absence of noise is one of the most im- | pressive featares of the work. Huge blocks of ice are hoisted and laid in| place aad water is then poured over them, This freezes immediately and the walls thus become perfectly solid. The | palace is designed like a mediaeval castle | and minarets and towers appear at every | available point. The main tower is 130 | feet high.

An extensive and systematic coal sfexl hw ben discoverad at Banbridge, Rows | county, O.- a small town on the Oh o | Sonthern Railroad. A car load of coal would, at times, disappear in a single night, and the peculations became so consecutive that the railroad com pany employed detectives to unearta the thieves, The result has been the arrest of 15 prominent citizens of Bainbridge, including the marshal, a hotel proprietor and a Presbyterian preacher. Detectives say that hall the citizens of the town are implicated in the steal. The peculstions amount to many hundreds of dollars, and the extent of them may be imagined when it is kaown that althoogh coal is universally weed in Bainbridge, not a single ear load bas been billed to a resi: dent of that place this winter, IMPORTANT RAILROAD DECISION. A very importaut decision has been rendered by Judge Gresham in the Cen- tral Iowa railroad foreclosare case. A year or two ago, a firm of extensive grain shippers made a coutract with the Cen- tral Iowa railroad for certain rebates on their shipments, When the foreclosure proceedings wers begun, they had a claim of some $3000 for sach rebates, and filed an intervening petition to have the receiver of the road directed to pay it out of the proceeds of the sale and as against the morigages. The Judge refused to allow it on the ground that the statnes of Illinois pro- hibit discrimination by railroads in this or any other way. Though the contract was made in Iowa, it was to be enforced in Illinois, and was illegal under the law, no matter where made, son ols, WHAT AM ITO DO? be a symptom or the Oa prominent Templar.

Harvesting the lee Crop, Roxpour, N. Y., Jan. From returns received from every icehouse along the Hudson River last evening it appears that in the aggregate ooe-half of the gross average crop of lca has beon housed already, and, weather permitting, the work will be completed in seven days from now. The lechouses north of Cheymans are filled, or nearly wo, but the great bulk of the crop is obinined between Corymans and Marl borough.

Thelr Fight With the Stes] Manufacturers ut an End, Prrranvno, Jag, 28, ~The steel manufact- urers have practically been beaten in the great contest with the railway managers over the price of steel rails, The rail. rond companies had refused to pay the price demanded for stosl rails, and as a re- sult almost every steel rail mill in the coun: try closed down. The railroad men first refused to place orders for more than £30 per ton, while the manufacturers de- manded from $4 to 835. The Pennsylvania Hallroad has just p aced an order for 50,000 tons at $31 50 per ton. It is divided smong the Cambria Irén Company, the Pennsyl vania Steel Company, and the Carnegies of this city. Other large orders will be placed in a short time. The Chicago, Bur- lington and Quincy Railroad has placed an order in Chicago for 20,000 tons at a some- what higher figure on account of the in. creased cost of manufacture in the west. The Homestead Steel Works are now in operation. Mr. Phipps of Carnegie, Phipps & Co. stated that the Pennsylvania Railroad Company's order was ss good as placed with them. He did not know just when the Edgar Phomson Steel Works would resume. The compromise of tha fight between the railroad wagnates and large orders will make business active with the steel rail mon. It is expected that the steel rail mills which have been shut down In various parts of the country for want of orders will not resume. The effect will be marked upon the general in. dustrial situation.
