The petition of the Constitutional De«
fense Association to Governor Beaver
asking for an investigation of the Read
ing Company's alleged violation of the
constitation, has been very promptly re-
turaed because of the discovery by the
governor that the committee had failed to
sign it. The Philadelphia Record per
tinently suggests that “if some such exe-
cutiye vigilance bad been exercised last |
summer with regard to the general rev- |
enue bill the people would not now be
deploring the failure of that important
measure.”

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. The Winter Carnival is now |
going on,

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

amount to many hundreds of dollars,

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,

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

thickness, and, in point of quality, is the
finest in many years. The “‘bosses’ say it
is a noteworthy fact that there have been

THE RAILROADS WIN.
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. It is excepiionally good
news for the coke operators, Their ship-
ments have been very largely curtailed by
