BROKE THRoUH QUARANTINE.

Steamship Romola, from Madeira, Re-
ported for Entering Norfolk Capes.
Washington, d. c., Aug. 21.-Surgeon
General Weyman has referred to the
Bureau Of Navigation the case of the
captain of the steamship Romola, said
to have entered the capes outside Nor
folk without reporting for quarantine in
spection. The case will be investigated,
and if need be, prosecuted. The officer
of the quarantine service at Old Point
Comfort reports that the ship entered di-
rect from Madeira, but unofficial reports
say she first touched at Philadelphia, in
which case a second quarantine inspec-
ton would not be necessary. There is no
infection at Madeira, but this is one of
the cases in which the Marine hospital
service enforces the quarantine laws rig
idly.

GOODNESS IN BIG DEMAND.
Ice Companies Having All They Can
Do TO supply II.


Although the Savannah ice factories
are turning out more ice than ever before,
the supply has barely equaled the demand
since the present hot spell has been on.
The low price of ice now prevailing, due
to the Ice and beer war, begun sometime
ago by Mr.. Louis p. Hart of the Gorrie
Ice Company, accounts for the large con-
sumption.
All the plants are running at their full
capacity, which is shortly to be increased.
The Savannah Brewing Company is now
turning out fifty tons of ice a day from
its new plant, which is supplied to its
regular customers and to anyone else de-
string IL, at the present cut rates, deliv-
cred to the purchaser at the brewery.
The increase in the ice output will be
made by the Knickerbocker Ice Company
which viii shortly double its capacity. A
new 30-ton Delavergne ice machine is now
being put in at the Knickerbocker works
on Indian street. The foundation has
been built and part of the machinery is IN.
The plant is to be completed by July l.
With the new plant added to the present
S0-ton plant the KnckerbOcker will have
a capacity of sixty tons daily.
The Gorrie company is running its own
3O-ton plant and also that of the
AS is well known the Gorrie company and
the Georgia Brewing Association are pull
ing together in the fight, the stockholders
of the ice company having a considerable
interest In the brewing association. The
Savannah Brewing Company and the
Knickerbocker Ice Company are not finan-
cially interested in each other, but a very
evident entente cordiale exists between
the two companies and the brewery furn-
ishes such portion Of its output as is not
demanded by its customers to the knick-
| erbocker, no delivery Of ice being made
| by the brewery.
The dissolution OF the Savannah Ice De-
| livery Company, which formerly controll-
/ ed the ice business In Savannah. which
was caused by the withdrawal OF Mr.. j.
+. Kavanaugh of the Knickerbocker COM
pany, has proven a boon TO the consum-
/ ers Of ice, though It Is hardly likely that
| there Is any money In the business for the
| ice companies at present rates.
Ice continues to be sold at the same
/ rates. 10 cents per 100 pounds at the fac
tory or IS cents delivered, 80 pounds deiv-
/ cred 10 cents. and 25 pounds cents tick
! cts for small amounts 30 cents per 100
| pounds. SO long as plenty of ice can be
| obtisned at these figures the consumers
| have no reason 10 grumble.

The present week will go on record as
the hottest that Savannahians have ex-
perienced In many years In June. II has
given boom to the resorts and the no
tells at Tybee and the pavillons at the
other resorts have done a rushing bust
ness during the last few days. Nearly All
savannahians who live at the suburban
resorts during the summer have moved
into their cottages. The rush Of summer

CIGARS HE COULDN'T ACCOUNT FOR.
c. II. Mccain Held by the Police for
investigation.

c. f. Mccain, a white man, who has
been peddling cigars around the streets
for the last several days. was arrested
yesterday by Detective Barrett, on sus-
picion Of having stolen the cigars.
Mccain gave a very poor account OF
himself, He claimed TO have purchased
the cigars in Montgomery. Ala. but did
not remember the price that he paid for
them or the name OF the man from whom
he purchased the cigars. When first ar
rested Mccain denied everything. A
check for n trunk at the Plant system
depot was found on him, however. The
check was taken TO the baggage office
az the depot by the detectives and a con-
ductors chest secured.
The chest bore the name OF Colleton. n
conductor OF the Alabama Midland rail-
way. and was also marked with the inl-
tails OF that company. In the chest was
found a sack containing several boxes Of
cigars and two boxes OF Virginia cher
roots. The police az Montgomery have
been wired to investigate the case at
that end OF the line, and especially to find
out how Mccain came 20 be in possession
OF Conductor Colleton's chest. IL was at
first thought that Mccain had stolen the
cigars here.

Beaufort may be all right, but he bore
very suspicious resemblance to a very

with a strange negro in the rear of the

round. The stranger, who seemed taken
