BONDHOLDERS TO ACT.
RECEIVER SPARKS PLANS FOR THE
G. S. AND F.

The Receiver Wants to Borrow Money
TO Build the Tifton and Townsville
Branch and to Pay the Overdue In
terest on the Bonds-The Savannah
Bondholders to Decide To-Day What
They VIII Do.
The Georgia Southern and Florida rail-
road bondholders in Savannah are unde-
cided what position they will take with re-
gard to Receiver Sparks request upon the
the court for permission to borrow $3.50, 200
to build branch of the road from Triton to
pay the interest upon the bonds now three
months overdue.
A meeting of the bondholders has been
called at Macon Saturday TO formulate OPP
position 70 the granting Of the receivers
request by the court, at which meeting the
Savannah bondholders will be represented.
Mr.. William Rogers is chairman Of the
committee which is looking after the inter-
ests of the Savannah boudholders
Nearly S700. 900 Of these bonds are held in
Savannah.
A meeting of the Savannah bondholders
has been called for to-day at 1890 o'clock
at the Office of the Savannah Construction
Company 20 decide upon plan Of action. A
report will be submitted in the meeting,
prepared by Mr.. John Nicolson, Jr., who
recently made e trip to Macon for the pur-
pose of investigating the affairs OF the
road by request Of the committee. Mr..
Nicolson's report will show that the Geor-
gia Southern and Florida Is still valu-
able piece Of property and amply able
to pay all its obligations. The reason. Mr..
Nicolson said yesterday. why the interest
upon the bonds has not been paid is that
| the receiver has devoted the net earnings Of
the road since he has been In charge of it to
paying the outstanding certificates of In
debtedness for material supplied the road
previous to the reoeivership. The road has
always earned more than its fixed charges.
Mr.. Nicolson said.
The Georgia Southern and Florida is
in the hands of the receiver as an asset of
the Macon Constru otion Company, but the
claims of the bondholders upon the road Is
prior to all other claims.
One of the bondholders said yesterday
that the whole trouble was that the
earnings Of the road were taken TO build
the Macon and Atlantic railroad and that
this 10 where the money lost upon the latter
road came from. The Georgia Southern
and Florida is the guarantor of the Macon
and Birmingham railroad bonds, but this is
subject TO the claim of the bondholders.

Digging Out the Cellars.

The work Of cleaning out the cellars Is
being pushed rapidly. The cellar of the
DeRenne building, at Bull and BrouRhton
streets, was given attention yesterday and
an accumulation of filth which would have
made splendid food for cholera or any other
plague was removed. It consisted of rotten
paper and wood, old vegetables and cans.
bottles, paper boxes and all sorts of In
Vulnerable refuse articles that gave forth a
strong stencil. These things were the ac-
cumulation OF years, and with leakage into
the cellar from different sources, brought
about a condition Of filthiness which would
have made splendid breeding place for
microbes or germs Of any character.
After thoroughly overhauling and cleans
ing the DeRenne cellar the sanitary inspect
ors treated the place 70 carbolic acid and
lime.
The Screven house cellar was also cleaned
and dislRfected, but it was in a fair con-
dit1on compared With the others which have
30 Tar received attention from the sanitary
authorities. The MORNING News has urged
all along the cleaning and disinfectin9 of
cellars. Its reporters discovered in their
rounds OF the city that many cellars were
10 an unusually unsanitary condition, and
last week an article was published on the
SUBJECT calling the attention of the board
OF health TO these dangerous places. Action
was taken on the suggestion and every Gel
lar IN the city will be attended to. Prob
ably many more will be found in equally
as bad condition as that OF the DeRenne
building, but by next week they will be In
the best condition that can be attained by
sanitary measures
Alderman Harmon has also begun the
work OF disinfecting and cleansing the
premises around the market, the condition
OF which was also reported by the MORN

called for help, but before any one came
the drowning man had disappeared. Cash
owned small hummook, known as Bug

family. He is supposed Go have been over
100 years old, and was noted for his thrifty
habits. His colored neighbors have always
claimed that Cash had lots Of gold buried on
his island. This report doubtless arose
from the fact that the old man would take
nothing but gold in payment for his cotton,

POISON IN FOOD.
In Old Times Sharp Watch Was Kept
on the Cooks Dishes.
From the Golden Days

on tne JOCKS Dishes.
From the Golden DAYS.
The fear of poison which haunted the
mild Of every person of quality during the
middle ages, gave rise to certain curious
customs, and even to certain superstltions.
When dishes are now served COW
cred it is understood that IL
is merely for the purpose of
keeping them warm. This was not. how
ever the principal reason why they were
served covered during the dark ages. 1t
was the fear that poison might be intro
duced into them 'surreptitiouslV between the
Kitchen and the table where they were to
be served to the kings or the lords or even
to persons of inferior rank.
The covers were not removed till the mas
ter or the house had taken his place. All
dishes afterward served were brought on
the table in the same manner.
1t was the custom originally, when the
dishes were uncovered, for some Of the serv-
ants to first partake of them, but this Gus
tom wassafterward in part replaced by the
servants touching the food with one of sew
eral objects which were regarded as iufal-
ible preservatives against poison.
These objects were the horn of the uni
corn, serpents tongue, the fabulous stone
found in the head Of the toad, serpentine
agate and other stones. The first was con-

existed, it's horn was replaced bv that of
the nsrwhal or a sharks tooth, which were
sold by all the druggists instead Of It and
under It's name
Many persons kept small piece of IL at
the bottom Of their drinking glasses Uni
corn's horn was so rare and precious that it
was worth more than ten times its weight
in gold.
1t was never proved that the stone alleged
to come from the head of the toad had that
origin, and the druggists who sold it knew
that what they vended was a mineral dug
out of the earth. but this did not prevent
tho fraud or put an end TO the superstition.
In the time of Louis XIV. and Louis
XIV. the faith in these talsmans had CON
siderably weakened, but all the dishes
placed on the royal tables were touched,
as well as the plate, the napkin, the knife
