RICHMOND ABBATOIR COMPANY IS BOTHERED BY LACK OF CARS.

BEEF TRUST TO BLAME Armour Censured Not RailroadsThe Latter Forced to Knuckle to Eig Shippers. In kj u'i'.l i iii' yesterday of I lie con-! tlition of t!;c Kichniond Abbaloirj Coinpan v William S. I'.wry. secretary of tin' m jiicevn said thai his company was being discriminated against in itn business and that tbe railroad companies running into Kichniond liail frequently shown favois to the Armour j o c k i i ; ; company ami other big concerns and had handicapped tlie local company. lie said that although the business of the local company was of such a nature, that it seldom j entered into competition- with the big companies yet be had several times felt the effects of the evils connected with the private car and rebate wystem. Many times ho said that meat had been compelled to lay in the company's refrigerators for want of cars in which to ship it. In regard to the experience of the concern for the past fifteen months of its existence he said: 4 Tons! lering the short time the company has been conducting operations its business is in a very flourishing condition. The Abbaloir Companyjs strictly in the business for loer.f'produce and lias made it a point to encourage the fanners of this vicinity to look upon it as their headquarters. The majority of cattle purchased by this concern at present comes from Wayne county. More 'or less trouble has been encountered in shipping finished products, such as cured meats owing to the opposition of the Beef Trust Cured meats have to be shipped long distances in refrigerator cars, and all such cars are absolutely controlled by Mr. Armour and the Beef Trust. The railroads are not so much to blame for this state of affairs as they are forced to knuckle to the big shippers. As the business of this company is confined in a large measuro to tho surrounding country and nearby cities, the largest part of the .finished products are shipped in ordinary cars ns only a few hours are consumed in transporting them. Clenerally, however, an over-supply of live stock is on hand, which could be turned into finished products and shipped to cities farther away, were it not for the opposition of the Trust. , Arrangements have been made, with the railroads whereby ordinary stock cars are furnished, in which the oversupply is shipped on the hoof to the larger markets." CHR1SMAH FINED $20 For Tipping the Lid Just a Little Last Sunday. Charles Chrisman, who was arrested Monday morning on the charges of , selling liquor on Sunday and selling rast, was arraigned in police court yesterday atrernoon to answer the charges placed against him. The charge of selling lliuor on Sundav was dismissed and (hristman plead ed guilty to the other charge. Judge gon verse assessed a tine of $10 and costs, making the total amount $20. Christman was the victom of the watchfulness of the police, who had been told that he was in the habit of selling liquor on Sunday bv smur1 r-linT it into n liverv stnldn nitmlnimr his saloon on North Seventh street. Sunday he disposed or a pint bottle ; of whiskey by this method to a thirsty colored citizen, tho litter 1 eI ing seized by Officers Little and Yo- ' gelsong when he left the stable.

A local character, John Gregory, aged 71 years, -!.o conducts a groceiy and who is comrr.ot.ly known as "Cheap John" because cf the fact that he is a "cut rate" merchant, wr.s up in police court vest er lay morning on the charge of intoxication.

OFFICE OF ASSOCIATED CHARITIES BESIEGED BY SUFFERERS FROM COLD

MANY ARE NOW DESTITUTE Letters Sent Out For Help Do Not Bring the Desired ReturnsClothing Needed. The terrible edd , j , ' ! of the p.ist i vvo days has can-hl the poor of this eily unp'parcd, owing , ti e hitherto mild weather, and many are suffering fiom exix'seiu'e a:-d the necessities of life. The oH-.-e of the ..Wo-hM. d Chanlies has been besieged with petitions for assistance but owiii"- to the limited supply of clothing, money, fuel and food at hand, Mrs. Candler, the city missionary, has oulv been partially able to meet this demand. She says that the crying need is for underclothes and coal. Letters calling for assistance have been sent out but substantial returns have not been received. About twelve WHY Stael trust armor for families called for coal yesterday, Mrs. Candler slates, and many are absolutely destitute unless those people of the city who have everything necessary, come to the assistance of their poor and less fortunate, the suffering in Richmond, which is considered one of the wealthiest and most charitable cities of its size in the country, will be intense. Not only the Associated Charities, but the other charitable institutions of the city are appealing for prompt assistance from those who are in a position to render it. The office of the Associated Charities is at 21 South Fifth street where contributions will be received. OUTLOOK IS POOR FOR THE SUPPLY OF NATURAL ICE THIS WINTER. Up until yesterday, the, prospects for a good supply of natural ice for use next summer, was very poor, but the zero mark reached by the thermometer lias caused the ice dealers to take hope. In case no ice crop or if only a poor crop is harvested, th3 ce.st of ice next summer will he higher, as the artificial product will have to be manufactured at a greater expense to take the place of the natural ice in the large refrigerators and cold storage houses.

INTHE CASE OF THE DISAPPEARANCE OF MRS. OMA COTTO.

YE&

ABOUT SIX Anonymous Letters Similar to The Present Ones Were Then Received at Evans Homo. Another clue has been developed J hi the mysterious disappearance of Mrs. Onia Cotten, formerly Nora Mason, the colored girl employed by the Misses Kvans, in Spring (5 rove. it is now brought out that about .six years ago a series of anonymous letters were received by the colored girl .corresponding in writing and grammatical errors to the letters now in the possession of the police. These letters all contained threats against Mrs. Cotten 's life and like the recent letters reached the woman in a mysterious manner, being slipped under the door of the Evans residence. They threatened death if Mrs. Cotten left the house and apNOT? steel trust officials. New York Press peared on the streets after a certain hour at night and said if she was caught with a certain man, both would be killed. This man, however, was not Cotten. Every effort was made by the. police department to find the writer and the writing was finally traced to a colored man who was then janitor at the Episcopal church. The police did not regard the matter in a serious light and after detaining the writer at headquarters he was finally released. The whereabouts of the man is not known by the police but an effort will be made to locate him and it is thought that he may have a knowledge of the whereabouts of the woman.

T. r ! ,r 1 HOW EIGHTY-ONE YEAR 3 OLD Was at Indiana University a Half Century Editor and Politician. The announcement of the resignation of Isaac Jenkinson of this city from the Board of Trustees of Indiana University, marks the retirement from public life of probably the oldest, as well as best known educational men in Indiana. Mr. Jenkinson 's term of service has covered a period of forty-four years with the exception of five years which he spent abroad as United States Consul at Scotland. Mr. Jenkinson thinks that bis period of active life is over and that he should retire from public work. Mr. Jenkinson is now almost eighty-one years old and his entire life has been spent in close connection with public life. After voting twice for Whig candidates, in the early days of polities, Mr. Jenkinson helped in 1S5G to unite the forces which formed the present Republican party, and since that time be has cast twelve more rotes, all for the Republican party. Mr. Jenkinson has the honor of being the only living member of the first Republican Electoral Congress of Indiana, which in 1860, used its thirteen votes to help place Abraham Lincoln in the President's chair.

As the editor of the Palladium from 1S73 to ISfiO, Mr. Jenkinson was always a power in the Republican politics of the county and district.

Jenkinson was appointed postmaster uimer rresment Harrison.

FIFTY PER CENT OF STOCK Held by Union Ice Company and the Others Want Part of It May Mean Cheap Ice. All indications point to an ice war this coming spring and summer. Added to thi everything points to a scarcity of ice in this city, For the past' iive years the three local ice companies, the Home Coal Sc Ice Co., the independent. Ice Co., rnd the Union Ice Co., have been working under an agreement that guaranteed a uniform price. This agreement ends April 1st and it is very doubtful whether it will be renewed. A local ice man stated yesterday that in case the agreement was not renewed, and he thought it far from probable, that the price of ice this coming summer would be cut in two. lie added that yesterday was the first ice day of the winter and if the winter continued to be as mild as it has been up until a few days ago that iee would be a very scarce article in the warm season. Five years ago the three local ice companies organized a delivery company. The Union Tee company held fifty per cent of the stock and the two other ice companies controlled the remaining stock. This delivery company purchased all the iee from the three companies, proportionate to the- amount of holdings they had in the delivery company. By this scheme the price of ice was maintained. The Home Coal & Ice Co., and the Independent Ice Co., so it is, understood, desire to secure more stock in the delivery company as they desire to increase their business but they are blocked by the Union Ice Company, which owns fifty per cent of the stock and refuses tot dispose of any of its holdings. Unless the Union Ice Company backs down in the stand it has taken it is almost certain that the agreement will not be renewed the first of April. No consumers are shedding tears over tbe prospect of an ice Avar. AGED PEOPLE ARE MARRIED WEDDING OF J. H. SULLIVAN AND MAGGIE VARLEY.
