Owing to the exceedingly small crop
of ice that has been harvested this
year, and the subsequent high price
which that commodity will command
during the summer, the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company has begun opera
tions for the establishment of a large
plant for the manufacture of artificial
ice. The enormous amount of ice used
by the company during the year ne
cessitates an outlay of many thousands
of dollars, and the present scarcity of
that article will necessarily cause big
raise in the price 1t has been shown
that ice can be manufactured much
cheaper than it costs at present, and
the company has decided to attempt
the experiment of making its own ice.
The plant will cost 100000, and is
expected to be in operation by June 1.
The sixth anniversary of the Reform
Club took place on Monday evening in
Reform Club Hall. A large audience
was present and the exercises were not
only pleasant but profitable The ex-
ercises opened with Scripture reading
and prayer followed by the singing of
an Easter Anthem by the Presbyter-
ian choir. Then few words by the
President, VIM. G. Johnson; solo by
Miss Emma McClellen reading by E.
Birkhead solo by Mrs. Bryan; then
the gem of the evening in the address
by the Rev. John Graham, of Phila-
delphia, who gave his hearers a warm,
stirring temperance talk and we hope
it will be productive of good. The
club is in a good condition, and while
not doing noisy work, yet good is
being done and the faithful ones are
always ready to help restore the erring
ones.
Common Council met in the City
Hall, on Thursday evening of last
week. After the reading of the min
utes and payment Of bills, the assess
ment of DR.. Graw's new extension which
had been referred to a special com
mittee was brought before the meeting
by Mr.. Hamer the chairman, who sug-
gested that the assessed value be reduced
$4,000, which was vigorously opposed by
Mr.. McElroy, who claimed Council
had no right to interfere with the as
SCISSORS duties, in which he appealed to
City Solicitor Gilbert for his opinion
and was sustained. After the decision
had been given, DR.. Graw sent COM
munication to Council stating he would
pay the full amount claimed The
Treasurer's annual report, which was
very lengthy, was read, copies of which
can be seen posted at the Post Office
and other public places. This was
about all the important business trans
acted.

NINE HOURS OF SPEECHES.

Argument in the Macon and Bruins
wick Railroad Bond Case Finished.
The argument was concluded yesterday
in the United States court in the case of
Cunningham against the Macon and Bruins
wick and the East Tennessee, Virginia, aud
Georgia railway companies, and Judge
Pardee reserved his decision and Instructed
the clerk to forward the record to him at
New Orleans, where he will review the evil
dence and briefs of counsel.
Robert G. Erwin, ESQ.,. counsel for the
defendant railway companies, spoke for
nearly three hours. He denied that the
bondholders ever had case. and if they had
before the Macon and Brunswick passed into
the possession and control of the state of
Georgia, they had slept upon their rights
and could not now recover.
Judge Montgomery, of counsel for the
plaintiff, Cunningham. closed the argument
in speech requiring nearly an hour and a
half in its delivery. The argument in the
case consumed nearly nine hours, and which
ever way it is decided by Judge Pardee it
will be taken on appeal to the supreme
court of the United States.

New Buildings to go up on the Site Of
Thursday Nights Fire.
The fireman had a hard nights work to
confine the fire to Boley's furniture house
Thursday night. The walls of the third
story of the building have been torn down,
as they were in dangerous condition. The
two lower stories are filed with scorched
water-soaked furniture. The fire did not
reach the lower floor, and only partially
burned through the floor above.
There are no additions TO yesterdays
statement in the MORNING NEWS of losses
and insurance. Very little of the furniture
left is worth anything.
B. M. Garfunkel's stock Of clothing is
heavily damaged by water, although un-
touched by fire. Boley & Son and Garfun-
kel will remove to Turner Hall, across
Broughton street. Mr.. Garfunkel's insur-
ance is $40, 900 on $50, 900 stock.
McGillis &c Rustin's stock. which was
removed while the fire was in progress. was
badly damaged by rough handling. What
was left in the building was damaged by
water.
Capt. John Flannery said yesterday that
the Mcmahon building will be rebuilt at an
early day. Mr.. II. j. Thomasson said that
the Smets building will probably be rebuilt
in short time. Miss p. II. Smets, owner
of the building, is in Savannah, as is Miss
q. A. Ganahl, who owns the building occu-
pied by McGillis &c Rustin.
The insurance men will have the losses
adjusted in few days.

Greater Fortunes

Have been made in the south in real estate
during the past twenty years than any
where else, and very naturally-because
capital, directed by energy and Intelligence,
has uncovered the rich deposits of iron and
coal, which have lain there asleep, as it
were, from time immemorial. SO many
towns are springing up, that it is often diff
hcult to decide which has the best location,
but an important point in its favor Is that
Alabama takes precedence of the other
southern states, because within its bounda-
ries are found the rich deposits of the ores,
fuels and fiuxes necessary for the manufact-
ure of iron, lying almost one upon the other.
1t is impossible to invest and make large
profits In the old and already built UP and
successful cities like Birmingham, but on
account of its especially favorable position,
Riverton, Ala, offers the best facilities; it
is so situated that it is right on or adjacent
to finest mineral deposits in the world The
surrounding country is unsurpassed for rich
ness OF soil and the quantity and quality of
the timber. Riverton is on the Tennessee
river below ali the shoals, hence has river
navigation the year round. 1t gets its raw
material at the minimum price and ships its
products by the cheapest method, VIA
river.
We recommend our readers to invest
NOW in Riverton, as there is not better
chance or finer opportunity to be found in
the south. Wealthy London capitalists are
at the head of the enterprise.

TROUBLE WITH CAR DRIVERS.
Gugie Bourquin's Set-to at Batter!
PARK

Gugie BourQuin's Set-to at Battery
Park.
Mr.. Gugie Bourquin was one Of the mad
dest men in Savannah yesterday afternoon.
He was driving out to his plantation about
5o'clock. When near the City and Suburban
railway car shed at Battery park, one of
the car drivers in driving pair of mules
from the stables to the shed ran them into
collision with MIR. Bourquin's buggy, break
ing one of the fore wheels.
Mr.. Bourquin sent his son Elliott, boy
of IA, back TO town to get another wheel,
and after he had got the new wheel in
place, another driver, according to Mr..
Bourquin's statement, tried to drive
into him. Some hot words
passed, the driver and four or five others
hooting and jeering at Mr.. Bourquin. who
got out of his vehicle and administered sew
eral kicks to the driver. The latter got q
piece of scantling, and, backed by the other
negroes, Mr.. Bourquin says started for
him, when he called TO his son to bring him
q Ratchet.
Elliott took the Ratchet and hurried to
the rescue, and the driver, thinking discre-
ton the better part of valor, ran off. MIR.
Bourquin called Mr.. Mulligan, a truck
gardener at work near by, to come over, as
it looked as if the drivers were about to do
him violence.
MI. bOurQuln says Cnat there was but one
white man at the shed, and when appealed
to he replied that he was only the night
Waterman and had no control over the
drivers. Both the stable boss and the con-
ductor of the car at the shed were absent.
Mr.. Bourquin said last night that he sus-
pected that the damage and annoyance he
was put to grew out of the fact that he had
been witness in the Fannie g. Ford dam
age suit in the city court the day before
He says, however, that his testimony was
fair, and only to the effect that he mad re-
ported to President Johnston the practice
Of hitching the mules Co the shed posts so
that il INSTRUCTED the Ogeechee road, and
there would likely be trouble some time if
it was not discontinued.
Mr.. Bourquin does not attach any blame
to Capt. Johnston, for, he says, the abuse
was stopped awhile. Capt. Johnston told
Mr.. Bourquin TO report to him the exact
time when such thing occurred again, and
he would find out who was to blame and
act accordingly.
The incident of yesterday put Mr.. Bour-
quin in no pleasant humor, and he took his
Ratchet and broke off the spike to which
the mules have been hitched at the shed
post by the drivers. He says that while
the shed is an accommodation to the people
as shelter while waiting for the cars, if
the practice of hitching or leaving the
mules unattended in the road, or driving
them recklessly in the road from the stables
to the car shed, is continued, he will see if
the shed cannot be removed
