BURIED WITH HIS GOLD.
A Skeleton and n POcketful of Money
Ding ont of BrutOn Hill.

One of the original gold bugs was dis
covered yesterday. The Savannah, Florida
and Western roadway train is hauling dirt
from Bruton hill, just east of its wharves.
While at work getting out load of earth
skeleton was discovered.
The dirt Is secured by undermining the
hill and causing the earth to cave in. While
securing earth in this manner the work
men noticed some bones sticking out from
the hill above them, and concluded from
their shape that they were human bones.
They worked a little more carefully and
finally brought down an entire human
skeleton. With the last cave in, one OF
them noticed something ghttering come
down with the earth, which on examlna-
ton proved to be a gold dollar. A more
thorough search was instituted, which was
rewarding by discovering three gold dol
lars, two silver quarters and two silver
three cent pieces. The gold dollars were
we'll preserved, while the silver was some
what furnished. The latest date on any OF
the coins was 1857.
Conductor J. /. Altman OF the roadway
train showed a Morning News reporter
some of the coins. Mr. Altman said that
most Of the dirt which had come down
from about the skeleton had been hauted
away when the money was discovered. IL
was possible, he thought that there were
other relies and other coins, Which hao
been hauled away. Mr.. Altman was sat
ished that the skeleton was that OF a
white man, on account of the prominence
of the bones of the nose, which is usually
lacking in skeletons Of negroes.
Mr.. Altman's opinion was that the skel-
eton was that of some person who had
died there during the war, probably a
soldier. There was less than foot Of
earth above the bones, which were very
near the surface, the covering above them
being almost entirely trash and drift. This
would seem to indicate that the body was
not buried, but that 1t was gradually Gov
cred by the accumulation of years. If
there had been a crime committed the
gold coins would hardly have been found
with the body, which would most likely
Have been robbed. As there was no fight
ing in that neighborhood during the war,
1t is more probable that some sick soldier
struggled there and died, unknown to his
comrades.

MAYO WANTS MORE CONDITIONS
Claims "A Time Limit of IL Minutes or
to Ride Unpaced.


Mr. I. U. Kinsey's acceptance of B. F.
Mayo's challenge has brought forth fur
Their demands from the Jacksonville man
which are considered by Savannah Wheel
men as very irregular.
In the original challenge the naming OF
conditions so precisely was a breach Of
ethics on the part Of the challenging par
ty. inasmuch as his dissatisfaction was
born in his defeat in the recent six-lap-
heat race at Panama park. In this race
Kinsey won 1--WE heats, and It Is claimed
by Savannah wheelmen that II the Jack
sonville man were DESTROYS of dlspelling
the dissatisfaction emanating from that
event the more proper course would have
been a similar race.
However the challenge for the five-miIe
race was duly accepted, with Mr. Mayos
desired conditions. Now that he makes
further exactions, Mr.. Kinsey does not
feel that he must accept them, and his
reply to the letter received yesterday, so
states.
Mr. Mayo's letter reads:
Jacksonville. Fla, Sept. o. 1S96.-Mr I.
u. Kinsey. Jr., Savannah. Ga-Dear Sir;

ing my challenge for a five-mile race, beg

DIR. Drummer and DIR. LIE Hardy Each
Preparing Cards.

DIR. ]. c. LeHardy is engaged in max
ing thorough search of the city's sani-

TOOK 1T FOR A SHORT CUT.
A COuntryman who Thought the

Countryman who Thought the
the Park walk Was IA Street.
When the authorities removed the fence
around Forsyth park 1t is very probable
they overlooked a contingeny that yes
terday presented itself. Had an inkling
of the occurrence flashed upon the oppo-
sition to it's removal their readq elo-
quence would have been prompted to fur
Their and grander bursts and perhaps the
fence might still be standing in its pris-
tine glory.
But let two or more persons, who have
not already aired their opinions on this
thoroughly discussed question go near
the park and varied sentiments will be
expressed regarding the effect Of the re-
moval. some affirming that the beauty
OF the place has been lost and others
that 1t has been enhanced.
To a countryman driving out Bull street
late yesterday afternoon with his wagon
full of children, the aesthetic idea of the
change having been for the sake of APP
pearances seemed not to have suggested
itself. He must have thought IT purely
in the interest of quick transit that the
fence was removed, so, thinking he would
facilitate matters by taking a near cut
through the woods, he spoke to the chill
dren and told them to hold on tight and
look out for roots.
Keeping right out Bull and never think
ing of turning off into CASTOR, he crossed
the sidewalk and drove up the main walk
