The Necessity of Pure Drinking
Water.

1t is evident that the necessity of using
absolutely pure drinking water cannot
become too strongly impressed on the pub
lie mind, but water in that condition is
provided by very few communities. Hence
the public are awaiting themselves of bot
tied natural mineral waters to a great ex-
tent, especially Apollnaris, which is Of
recognized purify, for its long-continued
and worldwide use attests its merit
Where such waters cannot be obtained.
the ordinary drinking water, if the least
suspicion attaches to it, should be boiled
before using. Precautions should be TAX
en- at all times of the year.
1t is often thought that in early spring
when rivers are swollen by melting snow
river water is purer and safer than in
summer or fall. Recent experiments
however, have shown that the number Of
bacteria in the water supply increases
greatly while the SHOWS are melting on
the uplands.
Ice also is known to be a frequent source
Of poisoning; hence, while the water that
is used may be pure, the ice that is INF
into it often renders it noxious. New Yorlr

City of Macon, ChattnhOOchee AMI
Gate City TO Go on That Line.
Three vessels win be on the Savannah
Boston direct line next week These will
be the City of Macon, which is now on
the line; the Chattahoochee, which viii
sail from here Oct 10, and the Gate City,
which will leave this port Oct. IA.
The schedule by which this line is to
be operated is now being arranged. BY
it there will be a vessel from Boston ev-
cry Wednesday and Saturday, The one
leaving on Wednesday will touch at New
York, sailing from that port the next
day There viii also be two sailngs a
week from Savannah, but they will not
be on regular days. The Boston-bound
boats will not stop at New York. BY the
vessels touching at the metropolis there
will be a sailing from there every week
day.
When the Gate City goes on the line
she win be replaced on the Savannah
New York line by the city of Birming-
ham, which is now just receiving the
. finishing touches, after some two or three
weeks spent in the dry docks at New

freight bureau Expires by Limita-
ton ON Nov. = Unless Continued.
The regular monthly meeting of the di-
rectors of the Savannah EAaeau of Freight
and Transportation did not take place yes
terday on account of the fact that no
quorum was present. 1t was decided to
postpone the meeting until next Tuesday.
This meeting, however, will attend only to
routine business and will have nothing to
do with the question of the continuance of
the bureau.
The annual meeting of,the stockholders
viii take place Nov. 2 The bureau will
then have run the three years course
which was contemplated for it. and the
question of continuing it or disseminating
it Will be gone into. The action of the
stockholders in this matter will, of course
depend on whether or not the STOCKHOLM
erS think they have derived benefits from
it, commensurate with the amount it has
cost to run il. The subscriptions were
about 200 a year, and the annual expense
for the three years has averaged $500 to
$1,000
None of the stockholders were bound be-
yond three years, and it Will be for them
10 say each for himself whether it shan
be continued. Should sufficient number
decide to keep it up, another three years
plan may be entered into. Otherwise it
would probably have to be given up.

TO ORGANIZE 4 CYCLE CLUB.



To-niGht.
A meeting of wheelmen viii be held to-
night for the purpose of organizing a cycle
club. Several well-known wheelmen
have the matter in hand and have been
working it up among the wheelmen. The
club.wiI be a general one and every rider
in the city IS invited to become a member.
Wheelmen who are interested are re-
quested to be al the corner of Bull and
New Houston streets tonight at $50
o'clock From there the cyclists will go
out the Waters road to the RED Dragon, "
where the meeting viii be held and an or
ganlzation perfected.
The idea of the formation of the club is
somewhat on the liue of the associated
cycling clubs, of which the Morning News
referred to several months ago. The pur-
pose of the clubs projectors is to obtain
as large and general a membership as is
possible, especially the racing men and
the more prominent wheelmen are desired.
IF a sufficient number of wheelmen can
be induced to join, the club viii endeavor
to secure club-rooms. The cub Will take
the local racing men in hand and proposes
giving a series of races during the season.
There are enough Wheelmen in Savan-
nah to form a club which would not only
be Of incalculab.e benefit 10 themselves
and the sport of cycling, but would tend
TO create a feeling of good fellowship
among the wheelmen.

BOUND OVER FOR TRIAL.
Poythress Held For Selling Mort
Ear,Ann..-.t--

Poy thrcss Held For Selling Mort
gagged Property.
w. j. Poythress was bound over to the
city court yesterday by Justice Naugh-
tin on the charge of disposing Of prop
erty which had been mort gagged to the
Savannah Grocery Company.
The defendant is said to have been con-
Quoting a grocery store at the corner Of
Farm and Pine streets, when he became
involved in some trouble and was held
IN custody for time. He had a stock of
groceries at this place worth about $500.
but upon which the Savannah Grocery
Company held a mortgage for $15I50.
While incarcerated in jail Poythress
gave j. J. Oppenheim a power of attorney,
authorizing him TO take charge of the
stock of groceries and sell IT, This was
done, and when the sale was completed.
it is sad that the company was rendered
1881 for its debt. This il refused to
accept, at once obtaining a warrant for
Poythress. The warrant was served upon
Poythress al his home in the country,
but owing to sickness at that time-July
Slit was impossible for him 10 appear.
He came to Savannah yesterday, however.
and stated that he was ready for the trial
of his case.
