To Control the Ice Trade in Scran ton and Vicinity. WILKES BARREANS CONTROL Have Secured Options oil the Consumers, Poyntelle and Scrantou Companies They Coutro tuo Ice Business In Ihis City Have 50,000 Tons on Hand Preferred Stock May Wreck the Enterprise. For the past two weeks efforts have been made to form a syndicate to control the ice business in Seranton and Wilkes Barre. The agent during the time spent here has secured options on three of the companies doing business In this city. The Consumers' Ice company, the Poyntelle Ice company and The Seranton Ice company have given the syndicate an option on their properties and business which will also include the Chinchilla Ice company, as the Seranton company holds an option on their business and includes it in the deal.

is a slight hitch in negotiations as the syndicate desires scyne of the largest stock holders in the old companies to take their pay in preferred stock of the new organization, which they decline to do. The companies that are in the deal practically control the ice trade of the city and also most of the available ponds that produce the best ice. The Consumers' have Lake Ariel and Maplewood lake, the Seranton company the lake at Orson and the Poyntelle company has Lake Poyntelle. They all have on hand a large quantity of ice, probably tons in ice houses in this city. The names of the men from out of town that are interested in the scheme are not divulged but enough is known about them to be as sured that capital is not lacsing iu make the organization a success.

EXPIRES ON JUNE 1. The option expires on June 1 and in the meantime efforts are being made to secure the business of several individual dealers in this city as well as two or three of the larger dealers in AVilkes Barre, who have not as yet been gathered into the fold. As stated before, the only obstacle is the manner of payment; while the Seranton companies are not anxious to sell they have given options and will sell if the syidicate comes down with the cash. They do not appear to want preferred stock saying that they will either control the business or get out of it entirely. Some of the men are not over sanguine of the success of the scheme, saying that "preferred stock" will be the rock that will wreck the transaction.

A MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR Anthony Lally Shot In the Left Shoulder. Nearly exhausted with the blood gushing from a gaping wound in his left shoulder, Anthony Lally of the South Side entered the Lackawanna hospital last night at 7 o'clock. He was reticent concerning the cause of the wound, and it appears that there fire some peculiar circumstances connected with it. Ially said that he accidentally shot himself while using a shotgun near No. 5 mine, but the wound would indicate different.

The left shoulder was badly wounded and his breast marked by the shot, which afterward entered his right forearm. SPELLMAN KELLY NUPTIALS Ceremony Performed at St. Paul's Church Yesterday. 'Washington nvnnnn wsi criomni o. Paul's church yesterday morning at li clock.

AT THE THEATRES "The Man from Mexico." Seranton has reason to blush for the ncrcuiuB ic lust evening gave Willie Collier in "The Man From Mexico."

Officer William Thompson commence! his career as patrolman most auspiciously. He went on duty on Monday night and by 5 o'clock yesterday morning had five prisoners entered up to his credit at the station house. Four he encountered at 4 o'clock in the morning. They were John Nallen, Thomas Williams, Mabel Davis and Lizzie Jones. They had attended a ball and in crossing Lackawanna avenue were somewhat uproarious, the two representatives of the gentler sex falling into the mud more than once.

They declined to act on the officer's suggestion that they should go home peaceably and were fined $5 each by Mayor Moir. ANOTHER CHANGE To Improve the North Main Avenue Street Car Service.

THE CARPENTER'S DEMANDS Want Eight Hour Days nt Thirty Cents per Hour Some of the Requests Regarding Apprentices. The journeymen carpenters are in a restless mood since they made their de mands on their employers. There is much talk of striking which will be the case should the employers not accede eight hours to constitute a day's work to the demands.

The employes want and ask to be paid thirty cents an hour. They also want some set rules to govern the apprentices. Some apprentices work two or three months in every twelve for three years and are then accepted as full fledged carpenters, while other apprentices serve three whole years and are not given an opportunity at the expiration of that time. The journeymen desire four years to be made the term, which rrst be served by an apprentice and that these years must be served under one contractor. Such are the essential points of the demands made.

The journeymen general committee assert that they anticipate no trouble in securing the rights asked. However, should the master carpenters refuse to accede, a general strike will be made on June 1. READING AND COTILLION Large timber of Guests Entertained The Seranton bicycle house was scene last evening of a pretty gathering, when Mr. and Mrs. W.

D. Boyer entertained their friends with a select reading and cotillion. The hallway and entrance room was redolent with Chinese palms, feathery Balmorianas and graceful kent palms. Clumps of carna tions, interspersed with plumosus as white and American beauty roses grac ed the stairway and entrance. The hall walls were similarly adorned.

The stage showed a front line of white and crimson hydrangeas, with fan palms and ficus ribbons intervening. Larga clumps of carnations, masses of roses and entertwinings of asparagus made up a bower of floral beauty. Tables graced and drooped with smilax round the sides and holding crystal vases of carnations were placed in and about the platform. The cotillion favors displayed on one of these tables were not only artistic but novel. These were enamelled stick pins, flowers artistically made trom feathers, baskets of noisette, sunset and papa gointier full blooming roses.

One favor was conspicuous, consisting of red figures of Mephistopheles. There were two bushels of California sweet smelling violets and many cunningly wrought fans. The dancing hall was bright with guests, when at 8:30 p. m. Mr.

Boyer in a neat address of welcome formally Introduced Edward Vance Cook of Cleveland as the initial entertainer. Mr. Cook gave an original travestie entitled the "Pot Luck of the Poet." Imitations of Shakespearean characters were burlesqued in a series of Selections, Hamlet's soliloquy and Shylock's rage being the most effective. Comedy followed in which the hero, the villain, the leading lady, the heavy man and the comedian were essayed in surprising order. The patriotic selections from Paul Jones to Dewey were heartily applauded.

"The Red Cross Army Nurse" was a pathetic plea for her recognition. The whole concluded with a comic selection, "The young man sat in the white cravat," while his lady dressed for the party. This was a clean cut, refined, clever piece of wcrk. At tho conclusion of the readings, the guests were received by Mr. and Mrs.

W. ft. Boyer in the handsome parlors. JheJiost and hostess were assisted In receiving by Mrs. Biddel of Carlisle and Mr.

E. V. Cook of Cleveland. The guests were served with refreshments by Caterer Hanley. During the reception Bauer's orchestra furnished a arefully selected programme of dance music.
