jury by storms.
The action Of the bondholders Of the
Savannah and Atlantic railroad. better
known as the Tybee railroad. in refusing
10 accept the plan Of the reorganization
committee Of the Central railroad was a
subject Of general talk yesterday.
The bondhoIders Of the company were
also the holders Of its stock and
transferred the latter to the
Central railroad on condition that
the company would guarantee the
payment Of the interest on the bonds
and operate the railroad.
The coupons have not been paid since
the Central railroad went into
bankruptcy though that company
has continued to hold posses
sion of the property. and in its plan Of re-
organization proposes to place it under the
general first mortgages given TO secure
other creditors, but only offers the owners

the street railway plants or from the

It is also suggested that the wharf on the

The bonds amount to S250.O00, and are
nearly all held by the original stockholders
OF the company, all of whom are gentle

The public would certainly appreciate the
equipment of the railroad with electricity,

ROBBED IN MID-AFTERNooN.
Thieves Go Through MIR. ROth's House
in Broad Daylight.


A new phase in house robbng is in
vogue this summer. The unoccupied
houses are catching it.
a year ago burglaries were principally
in the night time The capture of Ned
Green put check on this sort Of thing.
and daylight burglaries are now the go.
Several have been committed within the
last two or three weeks, and from the
dent that they are by the same parties.
The house Of Mr.. Henry Roth was en-
tered between l and , o'clock yesterday
afternoon and ransacked from top to bot
tom. Mr.. Roth's family is away for the
summer, and the robbers had things their
own way. A rear window opening on a
yard was pried up and the thieves climbed
in. They emptied bureau drawers, went
through closets, turned the beds upside
down, and showed that if there was any
thing in the house they we're going to
have it. They carried off suit of clothes
belonging to Mr.. Roth and several small
articles.
When the robbers left the house they
went out the back door, which they I'M
locked from the inside and left open.
No clew has been obtained.
The robbery was very similar to that
of Mr.. Joseph Phillips house on Henry
street week or two ago. And from the
manner in which it was zone, the detect
ives think it was by the same thieves.
The plumber taken from houses in this
way is carried into the country and ped
died, and it is difficult matter to trace

1000 People Attended the Whining
ton Island Picnic.

The Ancient Order of Hibernians picnic
at Wilmington Island yesterday was a
big success. 1t was attended by the larg-
est crowd that has been present at any
picnic or other outdoor attraction in years
Over 1000 people were carried to the
island, necessitating an extra trip of the
steamer Gov. Stafford from Wilmington o
Ihunderbolt, although ii was thought the
schedule the committee had arranged
would be sufficient for all who would at
tend. The steamboat and railroad people
had their hands full. but were equal To
the emergency. The very fattering result
attests the systematic and thorough work
of the committee, every detail being care
fully looked after.
The weather on the island was delight
full, good breeze blowing the entire day.
and the grounds and dancing pavilion were
in first-class condition.
The athletics in the afternoon were very
interesting and attracted quite a crowd
throughout The winners were as follows:
100 yards dash, open.-Wm. Hicks, first
prize; B. L. Spindle, second prize
Putting the shot, open.-J. w. Wyness.
first prize; r. A. Brady. second prize.
Throwing the hammer-J. w. Wyness.
first prize.
Running high jump-Jerry +. O'Connor.
and b. L. Spindle tied and in the toss up
for the prize O'Connor won.
100 yard dash, limited to members of the
A. o. Hoe Counihan and r. A Brady
ran dead heat, and in running it off
Counihan won, Brady getting second prize.
The picnickers seemed to enjoy them
selves to the fullest extent and the only
regret expressed were when the steamers
were ready to leave for home. and the
days festivities had to close.

MIR. j. G. Seasons Becomes "A Prac-
tfcinE Lawyer.
Mr.. ]. G. Seasons was admitted to the
bar in the superior court yesterday af-
ter being examined by a board composed
of Messrs. ]. r. Saussy. William Garrard,
S. b. Adams and Solicitor General w. w.
Fraser.
Mr.. Seasons was put through a most
rigid examination, and he stood it with
much credit to himself. In fact, the COM
mittee in making its report took occa-
sion TO compliment him very highly. the
statement being made that II was one of
the most perfect and satisfactory exami-
nations the committee had ever heard.
Judge Falligant in granting the order
admitting him TO practice in the state
courts took occasion TO reiterate what the
committee had said, and stated from the
bench that he had never heard a better
cry question put to him in a manner that
showed careful study and preparation.
He has been studying law for sometime
in the office of Messrs Garrard, Meldrim
and Newman, where he has had every
advantage for thoroughly preparing him
self for the work. He graduated from
Emory College a year ago with first honor,
and since that time he has been prepar-
ing himself for his legal examination. He
will begin the practice of law at once
and for the present will be in the office
OF Messrs. Garrard, Meldrim & Newman.

THE SOAP WORKS PROPERTY.
The Stockholders Discuss the COM
pany's Affairs.


The stockholders of the Savannah Soap
Works held a meeting yesterday at the
store of Messrs. Lindsay & Morgan.
President d. B. Morgan presented a state
ment of the company's affairs, showing
that the company owes nothing except its
bonded debt of $1,000. The company has
no money, however. with which TO pay the
August coupons. owing to the fact that
its property has had no tenant since June
and there is no immediate prospect of rent
ing or utilizing it.
The soap works was leased for three
years to the Savannah Soap Company.
The lease expired in June. The leasing
company, however gave up business
year or more ago, but the rent was paid
by the sub-lessee, the Diamond Dust Com
pany up TO the end of the lease Since the
latter company removed to Baltimore the
property has been bringing in no in
come.
The soap works owns a large plant, and
was conducted successfully for a number
of years and went out of business when it
leased its property. 1t is very probable
that it will be allowed to be sold out
by the bondholders, unless something is
done by the stockholders at the adjourned
meeting 10 be held next Tuesday.
