PLENTY OF ICE TO BE MADE.
Savannah Has "a Chance For Cheap
Goodness This Year.

Savannah may expect to enjoy cheap
ice and plenty of it this summer. The
Savannah Brewing Company is putting
in 5O-ton ice plant with which to man
ufacture ice to supply its customers. both
here and elsewhere, the Georgia Brew
ing Association is adding 25-ton ice plant
for the same purpose. and the plant of
the Crystal Ice Company, which has been
idle for a long time, is to be reftted and
put to work. The latter plant has daily
capacity of twenty-five tons.
This is all in addition to the plants of
the Knickerbocker and Gorrie Ice Com
panies. whose output is controlled by the
Savannah Ice Delivery Company. The
latter company also has control of the
Crystal Ice Company. Shortly after the
latter company got in working shape some
five years ago, deal was made with the
ice combine 10y which the new factory was
smut down, certain dividend on the stock
being paid by the other ice companies.
About two years ago the ice combine Sc
cured large interest in the Crystal Ice
Company and at the recent meeting of
the latter company this was made a con-
trolIlng interest by the cancellation of GER
tain stock held in the treasury of the
company.
AS the ice company is said to have re-
Gently secured an interest in the Georgia
Brewing Association, which latter COM
pany is now at work putting in a 25-ton
ice plant and cold storage warehouse, it
looks as If there might be some fun in beer
and ice this summer, and cheap rates for
the public in both. The Savannah brew
cry has taken time by the forelock, and
is replacing its S5-ton plant with a more
modern -5O-ton plant. Allowing for the So
ton plant taken out by the brewery the
exact increase in the producing capacity
of the ice plants for the city when all are
in operation will be sixty-five tons, or $780,
900 pounds daily, two pounds daily for
each of Savannah 5000 inhabitants in
addition to the supply already being fur
nished.
Whether both the Gorrie and the Knick-
erbocker plants will be operated is not
known. As an ice plant seldom produces
up TO its supposed capacity, however, some
deduction VIII have to be made from the
above figures. The main reason for re-
opening the plant of the Crystal Ice Com
pany, is understood to be on account of its
proximity to the several warehouses of
the western packing companies on West
Broad street, which can thus be supplied
with cold storage direct from the factory
and the trouble and expense of delivering
ice to the warehouses avoided.

SENT IN A FALSE ALARM.
Chief Mcguire Looking For the own

err of Key No. 10.
Fire Chief Mcguire is looking for the
owner of fire alarm key No. 10. The fire.
men were called out shortly after o'clock
yesterday morning by an alarm from box
No. 81, at Charlton and jefferson streets.
When the firemen arrived there was no
IRE, and no one to tell them why the
alarm had been turned in. The key, when
mad been used 10 turn in the alarm, was
found in the box. The key cannot be
removed from the box after turning in
an alarm until released by master key
carried by the chief and a few other Off
Gals OF the department. 1t was evidently
a false alarm sent in by some one who
thought 1t would be sport to bring out the
department. Chief Mcguire took the KEY
TO the office with him. 1t is one of the oil l.
style Keys given out several years ago ana
there was no record on the books of the
party to whom ii was given. Chief Ma
Suire thinks that the key was probably
lost by the owner and found by some per
son, probably a boy, who had no better
Judgment than TO send in a false alarm
The penalty for sending in a false alarm
IS 800 fine and Imprisonment for thirty
days, one or both, in the discretion of the
court Persons having fire alarm keys
should be careful that they do not fall
into the hands of improper parties.

FOR UNIVERSAL POSTAL UNION.
Great Gathering Of Men Who Handle
the worlds Letters.

Washington, May 5.-The International
Postal Congress began its session here
today. The striking thing about this con-
gress will be that 1t will mark the ingath-
ering of the whole world. Up TO the
present China, Korea and the Orange
Free State have steadfastly refused to
come into the union. At this congress
it is expected they will announce a
change of heart. Another important dis
cussion will be over the international
postage stamp, the requirements of busi-
ness making it more and more a neces-
sity.
The late Dr. Van Stephen of Berlin
Germany. postmaster general for a long
term of years, has been called the father
of international postalsm, as he first
marked out a scheme for a single postal
territory to include all nations under pro-
visions of one treaty. This idea was first
brought forward at the Berne congress
in 1874. A general postal union grew out
of that congress. and at the Paris meet
ing in 1878 this was changed into the Uni
versal Postal Union. There are now
more than 1,40O. 10000 human beings
into touch by the workings of the postal
union. 1t is the first and greatest step
toward universal brotherhood.

FILIBUsTERs AGAINST HONDURAS
Collector of the Port of San Fran els

San Francisco. May 4-The United
States government has taken official cog
nizance of the existing possibility that
a fllibustering expedition may leave this
port bound for Honduras. The collector
of the port has been especially warned
by the secretary of the treasury to pre-
vent the departure of any vessel with
arms or munitions of war. In this con-
nection a close watch is being kept on
the movements of Carlos Izeta, who is

organizing a company of volunteers to go
to Honduras and aid in the overflow of
the existing government. 1t is said Ez-
