New York, July 25.—Attorney General Mayer of New York state has started an investigation to show whether the American Ice company, known as the ice trust, Is keeping within the law lu selling ice at a higher price than last year. Mr. Mayer had received a letter at his camp in the Adlrondacka from Wesley M. Oler, president of the company, lu which he said the company was "ready at any tlnie to give you a full exposition of the condition of the ice trade as far as the American Ice company is concerned without the necessity on your part of beginning legal proceedings to procure such information."St. Petersburg, July 25—Events of the most tremendous Import to Russia have been crowded into the past few hours, but perhaps the most momentous happening was the flat refusal of a squadron of Cossacks to disperse a crowd of revolutionists In St. Peters- New York, July 25.—Encased In a hermetically sealed copper envelope, placed within a solid mahogany coftln, the body of Kussell Sage has been placed in a chilled steel case, four Inches thick, riveted with steel bolts, locked with U lock which can never be opened.

It Is the tlrst actual instance In which troops have refused to move against the populace In Russia's capital. There have been outbreaks in the garrison, even the czar's pet regiment has subscribed to a platform of reform, but always until now all grades of troops obeyed orders for violence against crowds. The Cossacks turned against their officers near the railroad station, where revolutionists were addressing a crowd of workmen, waving red flags. When the order to charge was given the troops trotted forwnrd. then suddenly wheeled, and a spokesman, riding to the front, told the officers they would not strike against the friends of freedom. One of the officers drew a pistol to shoot down the man, but was himself Immediately covered by.the carbines of a dozen privates. Then all the officers turned and galloped off.

General Fredericks asked for trojps from Gatchlna, but was Informed that the situation was too serious to permit of the changing of the present military dispositions. There was no shot and shell and no powder was burned, but the clicking of locks as the guardsmen quickly sighted and pulled the triggers gave a touch of realism to the sham battle. bery Not Discovered Till this Morning. When Dilld Was Tlirown in Ills Path, Robbers operated successfully In the village of Inkerman early this morning. The postofflce was visited, and a haul of $4 5 In cash was made. Owen Holland Is the postmaster, and the ollice Is conducted in a room at his residence, where he also conducts a small store. Members of the family were around until 12 o'clock last night, so that the robbery must have been committed between that hour and daylight. When the members, of the family arose this morning they discovered the robbery. Entrance to the house had been effected by cutting one of the panels out of the rear door of the house. This made it  for the robbers to reach the lock and open the door. Once inside the house, they had no trouble In reaching the room where the postofflce case is kept. The postmaster has no safe, and the money was kept In a drawer. Besides the money, a Immediately after the steel box and the contents are lowered Into the grave electrical connections will be made and will be strung, so that an immediate alarm will be given if any attempt is made to tamper with the remains. lie Swerved llis Rlcjclc and Was The entire First Brigade, made up of Phiadelphia's three crack regiments and the Sixth, shared what glory there was in the encounter. The morning sun was rising above Round Top when the bugle call to arise brought the First Brigade from its tents. Instantly all was commotion in the camp. The rattle of rifles being u us tacked and the hurried calls of olllcers to their men resounded from one end of camp to the other. Whlel this was going on General Gobin and his staff galloped up to General Bchall's headquarters and hurried directions were given for approaching the position that had been assigned the four regiments In advance. General Scliall's staff knew that they were to occupy the line upon which General Sickles withstood (he shock of the Confederate firing. Iu conformance with this offer Mr. Mayer Invited the Ice trust president to his office. Mr. Oler was closeted with the attorney general about twenty minutes. With a muss of figures he attempted to convince the attorney general that the reason the price of ice had been raised front 30 to 40 cents was that the crop was short. Hurled From a Bridge to the Hailroad Tracks Fur Beneath Odessa Jews 8aved From Cossacks. Philadelphia. July 25.—In a heroic effort to avoid running over a small child, Iloy Reynolds, the 18-year-old son of a well known resident of Langhorne, Pa., was thrown from Ills wheel and pitched headlong over an eight-foot Iron fence on the Philadelphia & Reading tracks at Neshaminy Falls, to the tracks 70 feet below. He was picked up and died later of a compound fracture of the skull in the Jewish hospital. Odessa, .July 23.—There has been no actual pogrom (rising against the Jews) here, but drunken Cossacks endeavored to Instigate an anti-Jewish massacre in the Industrial suburb of MaldovantCn and were scattered by Infantry, who Instantly cordoned the Jewish quarter and threatened to annihilate the Cossacks. The latter were withdrawn to their barracks by their commandant's order. T'uder sudden terror 500 Jewish families sought refuge in other parts of the city, which otherwise has been quiet, but panicky. It Is reported, however, that several Jews have been slain in the suburbs. The burial will be In Oakwood cem etery. Troy, beside the grave of Mr Sage's tlrst wife. He Invited Mr. Mayer to send a man up to the office of the company to look Into Its affairs thoroughly, and Mr. Mayer said he would. The expenditure for this protection and for the coffin and accessories will be greater, so far as known, than any sum expended in the burial of any other private citizen in the United States. Most Costly Burial Known. No Criminal Action Intend ad The attorney general seemed anxiotu afterward to have It understood that he had no power or Intention to bring a criminal action aguinat the company and that the possibility of a civil proceeding depended entirely on what might be discovered by investigation. The coffin alone—of solid mahogany, with Its copper Inside envelope—is the most expensive ever manufactured. With Its trimmings and mahogany handles Its cost approximates $1.01)0. The steel case and Its patent unplckablc lock cost $22,000. It is called the burglar proof coffin, and it is asserted that even without the added precaution of electrical protection or guards it would be impossible for the most expert grave robber to get at the lKDdy. The lad was riding over the Neshaminy bridge and a double track of the Philadelphia & Reading road about noon yesterday. The creek Is fully eighty feet below the street level of the bridge and the tracks small amount of stamps was taken. Mr. Holland could not tell this morning? whether anything else' was missing, but there were no Indications that the mall matter had been disturbed. Two weeks ago an attempt was made to enter the house, a portion of one of the panels of the door having been broken out. The panel was repaired, and last night the new panel was removed entirely. It is believed that somebody familiar with the house and with the movements of the Holland family was concerned In the rokbery. A telegram was sent to the postoltlee authorities at Washington today, notifying them of the robbery.

The prison year ends on April 1st, and on that date the new officials usually take their places. Last spring the commissioners made their appointments, as usual, and they were submitted at oijce to the court for confirmation.

He responded and found in the lot a Slavish miner, who afterward gave his name as Michael Brust, bleeding from wounds on bis head. Ryan summoned an ambulance and the man was conveyed to the State hospital, where his injuries were dressed. They were occasioned by a bullet wound on the right side of his head, which had induced a fracture of the skull and numerous abrasions of the scalp.
