Serious Results Are Likely to Fol low the Mild Winter of 1888-9. 20T US ICE CAKE HARVESTED YET. An Advance In Prices Next Summer Feared bj -111 Consumers. A PANIC AMOSG MARPJAGEABLE MEN "Ice cream will be dearer next summer if- "Great Scott! Tou don't mean it, do The first remark came from a group of Italians on Virgin alley. It was close enough to one of those cheap ice cream factories to be considered an authoritative announcement. The second exclamation sprang from the lips of a young man passing by. He had halted instantly upon over hearing the words. Evidently he was marriageable, but had expected to go single through the next heated term. " if we don't have some mighty cold weather the balance of the winter," contin ued the Italian vender. "Oh!" ejaculated the young friend of the ladies. He passed on the to signal service office. "How do you make that out?" coldly inquired the ever-present reporter." "No cold weather not a bit of ice yet open winter until February can't make ice cream without ice ice scarce in spring and summer bigger prices Italian poor Ford Committee charge more for icecream because we pay more for ice see?" "With that idea in his mind the newspaper man visited florists, butchers, beer sellers and even undertakers. In each and every instance they could only echo the query: "Where's the ice to come from for next summer?" WHAT THEY MOST FEAR. They are all perplexed. The one para mount fear is that the scarcity of ice which I will result from the mild winter will cause Higher prices. Pork and meat packing companies which have not got artificial ice makers are already caught. A few are be ing supplied with small quantities of ice from Western beef dressing houses. The others simply do without. Local ice dealers are discouraged. There is not a pond, river or lake in "Western Pennsylvania that has yet produced a single cake of ice thick enough to put in the chute. At this time last winter one dealer had 1,200 tons already stored and was as busy as he could be. Lake Erie, which is usually a bountiiul source ot supply for Allegheny county, has not forwarded as much as a car load lor shipment from Erie up to yester day. The railroads report a big difference to this date in the amount of ice they carried up to January 10 from Erie and Chautauqua lakes and from points in Ohio. The Chautauqua Lake Ice Company is the largest doing business in the city. Mr. "Wilson, the Secretary, said yesterday after noon in reply to the reporter's questions: "We have not yet been able to harvest any ice for next summer's trade. Chautauqua Lake has XOT TET JTROZEN OYER. Usually at this time of the year we have a considerable quantity of ice stored. But this winter has been so open that the very little cold weather we have had has brought us no ice. However, it may turn out cold enough yet in January and February, and the winter may be so late that in the end the crop will be large. "While we have not bad anything to do this season yet, we are not alarmed." "Will the open weather thus far experi enced cause an advance in the price of ice next summer?" asked the writer. "We cannot answer that yet," replied Mr. Wilson. "It all depends entirely on the severity or mildness of the winter yet to come. It might be possible that in the next two months we will have weather cold enough to make up in the quantity of ice lacking in December and early January." "What is the ice tonnage ot Lake Chau tauqua?" "We could hardly tell that without figuring from our ibooks. But the con sumption of Lake Chautauqua ice in Pitts burg alone amounts to about 100,000 tons." TITTSBUEG'S FATED CANNON. Tbe Remnants of the Balnsworth Gun Brousbt Back to tbe City. The pieces of the ill-fated Pittsburg steel gnn have arrived in the city, and are now lying in the freight yards of the Pennsyl vania toad. Superintendent Hainsworth, of the Hainsworth Steel Company, will have them removed to the works on Twenty sixth street, where a careful examination of the pieces will be made in order to more fully satisfy himself as to the causes of the gun's failure. The result will not be known for several days. It there is any hope of final success in casting steel guns another attempt will be made by Superintendent Hainsworth. "While the fragments were en route to this city from Annapolis on the Pennsylvania road, one of the pieces fell from the freight car at If ineveh station. It lay unnoticed on the track until the Fast Line on its way from New York to Pittsburg ran into the obstruction. The onlv damage done was the breaking of the engine pilot. Kate Gaflhcy's Anxious mother. Kate Gaffney, aged 18, left the" home of her parents, James and Ann Gaffney, in Soho, New Year's Day, and has not since been heard from. She is a tall, slender girl, with brown hair, blue eyes and heavy eyebrows, and two of her upper front teeth are partially decayed. Her mother prom ises to receive her kindly if she will only come home.

CAN DO THE BLOWING, Bn Pittsburg Coal Men Will Reno the Fronts in Cincinnati. The managers of the new Huntington Railroad into Cincinnati from the West Virginia and Kentucky coal fields have gotten it into their heads that they can knock out the Pittsburg coal in supplying Cincinnati with cheap fuel. The toad is 200 miles long, but they propose to deliver coal into Cincinnati for SI 52J per ton (25 bushels), which can be retailed at 52 25. The price of Pittsburg coal there is about 53 per ton, retail. A number of Pittsburg coal operators were seen yesterday about this new rival; but the report didn't strike terror, nor even a shudder, into their hearts. Said Captain Jutte, for example: It sounds very well on paper; but I would like to see it done before I will believe it. I really don't know anything about the new road, and, as I sell bnt little coal In Cincinnati, it doesn't wrong me. Captain Marsh McDonald That's cheap enough; bnt I don't think they can best us. I am going down to Cincinnati, and while there will make an investigation. When I come hack I will tell yon all about it. Captain J. M. Risber 'I know this is to be a coal road: bnt It can't hurt us verv much. Like all other poor coals taken to Cincinnati, it will have a tendency to keep down our prices. It is nonsense to say that West Virginia and Ken tucky coal equals the Pittsburg article. That idea was exploded lone ago. It is soft and flabby, and, when placed under a boiler, hums up like so much tinder. It does not possess tbe beating qualities ot Pittsburg coal, and I have always lonnd that people would rather have the Monongahela coal than any other soft fnel, when they can get it. The competition of the Panhandle and Hocking Valley coal is nothing at all, an t the Kanawha river coal is of such poor quality that it doesn't stand anywhere in comparison with the pure, bald variety from this neighborhood. This coal road inavniake big claims, but nill go no further than that. They had better do something before they talk. COAL STATISTICS. The Annual Work Commenced To-Day by Charles A. Ashburner. Sir. Baird Halberstadt, of Pottsville, re cently superintendent and mining engineer of a Virginia coal and iron company, and formerly an assistant on the State Geological Survey, has just come to Pittsburg to assist 51 r. Charles A. Ashburner in collecting the statistics of the coal mines of the United States Tor the United States Geological Survey. Mr. Ashburner has had charge of this work for the Government for a number of years, and his annual reports have proved of such value to practical coal men and the coal trade throughout the States that lie proposes this year, with Mr. Halberstadt's assistance, to extend the practical scope of the work. WESTINGHODSE BUILDLNG BRACED. The Cracks ITnve Proved Ominous, and the Walls Are Very Weak. The reports made about the cracks in the great "Westinghouse building, on the corner of Penn avenue and Ninth street, sometime ago, have turned out to be prophetic of ex isting danger. A careful examination of the building, instituted last Saturday, proved that in some portions the building is very weak. Yesterday work was commenced to put up several iron braces along the center walls where the greatest weight bears down on the foundation. A Suicide's Request. Dr. Paul Gawrzyjiski, the Polish physi cian who committed suicide on the South side, left a letter to Mayor JlcOallm, ask ing that his two sons be sent to their uncle, Theonhil Lagrabski, of Belleville, HI.
