CHICAGO. Feb. 2.—Albert Griffiths, the
Australian prize lighter, best known as
young GrifCo," -was found today nearly
frozen to dtath in a vacant- lot within
half a block of the Bridewell. Both hands
and feet were frozen, and surgeons are
of the opinion that amputation of the
Lands would be necessary.
Griffo for many years "was a fistic mar

SKiiledj an scientific pugilists who ever
donned boxing gloves. Of late years he
lias been leading a fast life and was pen
niless. It is thought he wandered toward
the Bridewell in search of food and shel

MONTREAL, Feb. 2.—Montreal is held
tight in the grasp of the biggest snow
storm of the season. It began snowing
early Sunday morning and this evening
the snow continued falling steadily. A
strong northeast wind sprang up and
drove the street railway company prac
tically out of business, a thing which

SYSTEMWORKSWELL
POLICE ARE, WELL PLEASED WITH
THE EIGHT-HOUR
SHIFT
Officers at the various police stations
in the city are already prophesying that
the eight-hour system recently installed
in the police force by Mayor Ames will
prove a success.
They claim that the work under the
new system is more equally divided
among the members of the force, and
that the city is at all time more ' thor
oughly protected than under the old sys
tem of long shifts. They also say that
the men are doing better work. Under
the new arrangement they have longer
beats, and in order to cover the territory
assigned to them have no time to waste
loafing on corners or in stores along the
way.
It is generally admitted, however, that
the efficacy of the system cannot be con
clusively demonstrated until after it has
been in force a month or more. The num
btr of crimes committed without detec
tion will then tell their own stcry.

Pat Ljdon Arrested on the Charge

Pat Lydon was arrested early yesterday
morning, at Washington and Hennepin
avenues, by Officer Hillier and lodged in
the central station on a charge of high

hotel several weeks ago. It is claimed
that he represented himself to them as a
plain clothes officer and demanded money
to prevent his. locking them up.

Although the icemdh may not be so
prevalent at this season bf the year as
he is when the mercury is hovering
around the 100 mark in the shade, he is
nevertheless "cutting" hife product, and
any person who believes this much-envied
individual is hibernating through the
winter has only to stop for a moment on
any of the bridges that cross the river
to be disillusioned.
The ice crop is ripe now, and every
day along the river there are crews of
men busily engaged in getting the win
ter's supply into portable shape for the
coming summer, when the sun's rays
will increase its value In a geometrical
ratio to the size of the chunks.
The harvesting of ice is a science, the
same as the harvesting of grain, and
there are substantially the same l'equire

PULLING THE ICE OUT OF THE WATER.
when the ice is ready to be squared up
and taken out of the water, and when
to do it. is something that only comes
with long years of experience and study.
To the layman the fine points of ice
are completely lost, except possibly as
a cooling agent for the feverish brow
when the enthusiasm has been dissipated
by the arrival of morning.
The first thing to be done when the
water has frozen sufficiently thick is to
scrape the ice clear of ail snow and for
eign substances. This is clone with a

large iron-shod scraper, to which is at
tached a team of horses, who are "sharp
shod," the corks on their shoes being ex
ceptionally long and sharp. After the ice
is cleared the thing that, comes next is
marking it off in squares for the saw
to follow. For this purpose there has
been invented a plow, '-y^hich is a combina
tion of two saws put together and two
horses. A few years ago there were crude
devices, which a horse drew along the
ice, making a well defined scratch. These

SLAYER OF A POLICEMAX MAY VET

CHESTER, Pa., Feb. 2.-Policeman
Mark Allen was shot and instantly killed
last midnight by Albert "West, a negro
whom he had arrested for quarreling on
the street with a colored woman. The
negro shot Allen in the leg, and as he
fell to the sidewalk, fired two shots into
his body, death resulting shortly after.
West escaped, but was captured today
hiding in a stable at Darby, seven miles
from here. The rrews of the capture pre
ceded the arrival of the officers with their
prisoner, and when they reached the city
hall in a car a crowd of 2,000 persons met
them with cries of "Lynch him," "Kill
him.'' c
The negro was hustled into the city
hall, and the crowd, seeing- that it was
impossible to reach him in the narrow
corridor, ran around to the courtyard in
the rear of the building. The big gate
was barred, but 100 shoulders were plac
ed against it, and it was torn down and
the mob rushed in with yells of "Lynch
him."
The city jail stands in this court yard
and fearing, that a rush would be made
in that direction Chief Leary placed a
platoon of police in the driveway, and
the officers, with dTawn revolvers, faced
the crowd, which sullenly retired. A plot
was made for a second onslaught, and it
wa.s necessary to place the leaders in
temporary custody to quiet the crowd.

Submarine Plunder Launched.
NEVV fORK, Feb. I.— The submarine
torpedo boat Plunger was launched at
Elrzabethport, N. J., today. The vessel
was named by Mrs. Myron T. Herrick
of Cleveland. The new boat is a sister
ship of the Moccasin, Adder, Porpoise
Shark and Fulton. She is sixty-three
feet four inches long nud eleven feet nine
inches beam.
were of various patterns, and looked like
the primitive plow that is pictured on
the front pages of the implem*t pros
pectus.
The plow used nowadays is composed
of two steel blades, with teeth like a
cross-cut saw, the teeth resting on the
ice. Cross bars connect these together,
and with plow handles the apparatus is
complete. Added a team of horses and
a him, the ice marking begins. After
the first furrow or scratch has been made
along the ice the rest of the work is
comparatively easy, at least for the man.
One side of the plow falls into the
scratch that was made on the previous
trip, so tTiat the other must follow ex
actly parallel, and so on until the en
tire field of Lee is laid out, h.:e a gigantic
checker board.
The plow does not cut very deeply into
the ice, so that the hard work is to fol
low, and when the ice is extra thick
progress is rather slow. The man cut
ting the ice is furnished with an ice saw,
which is similar to a cross-cut, except
as to the teeth and having only one
handle, running across the blade, in
stead ub with it.
Sawing: Is Slow WorU.
When the sawing begins an aperture
large enough to allow the saw to be in
serted is made, and the rest of the worli
is merely sawing up and down, like a
boy at the wood pile. It is tedious work,
this sawing, and to one unaccustomed to
the work, it is not easy to understand
how a man can bow up and down all day
long, dragging a heavy saw against over
two feet of ice. It brings all the mus
cles into play, as well as those of the
arms, while the legs come in for their
share of the Delsarte.
The rate at which a man moves along
his particular line i s so slow as to be
discouraging, but as the man found
working these is usually paid by the day
or month, hs does not allow this fact
to worry him to any appreciable extent.
With several men sawing there are soon
a number of cakes loose from the mass
of the river, and these are gotten out so
as to make a channel. The fir^t cake of
ice that is cut loose is usually broken
into fragments, as it would be rather
difficult matter to haul it out of the river.
After that has been done there is some
room, and each cake that goes out helps
to »nake the channel. When once the
channel has been cut each cake, as soon
as loosened, starts moving with the
water. The men take the precaution to
begin their work up stream from where
they intend to load so as to allow the
ice to float down from the saw to the
endless belt that will load it on the sled.
It is guided dexterously to the belt by
poles of a harpoon nature, and at the
belt it is still dexterously slid on to th'i
iron teeth of the chain, much the came
as logs are hauled from the river into a
sawmill.
The endless chain nins from a plat
form the height of a bob-sled to the end
of the channel, from where the cake of
ice is carried to the end of the sleigh.
The driver with his ice tong keeps in
practice for the nimble work he is call
ed upon to do in the summer time. One
jab that makes the tinted chips fly ana
he has the cake fast and sound,'and a
few jerks land it at its proper position
on the sleigh. When enough cakes have
been loaded the team starts for the ice
house.
At the ice house there is a vast quan
tity of the glacial product very carefully
tucked away in sawdust. Here there is
either another endless chain with its inn
fangs or perhaps an elevator, which
hauls the ice up to the different landings

as the pile in the inside grows higher

half full, including what was left over

'CUTTING SOME ICE."
has a pretty hard time of it. Cold, snap
py weather is what he delights in, and'
every time the mercury gets above the
freezing i«ruit the ic<«c«.n's heart and
spirits droop proportionately. In the first
place, there are not so many good plaes
for cutting lee within easy hauling dis
tances, so that one spot has to be used as
often as possible. The beauty of the ice
man's crop is that so long as the weather
remains cold and the water holds out, he
can figure virtually taking out the same
cake many times. When he has finished
cutting on one side of his patch ho will
.start m the other, and by the time that
is out the first is frozen over once more,
and he starts there again. If the Weathei;
would only keep up to his standard he
could io this ad intinitum, but it doesn't.
There comes a thaw, and operations
cease, unless there is a patch already
frozen. Of course if it didn't thaw some
time there would be r.o market for the
ice, but what the dealer in chilliness
wants is consistency in the weather. He
wants it cold wh»n it should be cold. an t l
he furthermore wants it hot as can be
when it is appropriate that it should b^
hot.
H? usually manages to get a good sup-
ply of ice if there is any to be had, and
it Is not yet on record that there has ever
been a summer when the cry, "Want any
ice," was not heard up and down through" -
out the city, although sometimes reserve
supplies have had to be drawn upon.
