CHOSE DEATH TO SHAME.
A YOUNG WOMAN TAKES 38
GRAINS of morphine.
Sever. teen-Year-Old Susia Murphy of
Bryan County, Despondent Over Fail
ure to Secure KmDloyment and Alone
Among Strangers, Tries to End Ber
Life—Her Farewell Note to Her Sis
ter—A Young Life's Ba i Ending.
Susie Murphy, a young lady of Bryan
county, 17 yean old, attempted suicide by
taking thirty-six grains of morphine at
Hart’s boarding bouse on Congress street,
near West Broad street, yesterday after
soon.
At 1 o'clock this morning she was barely
•live. The physicians who were attending
her said that she cannot live.
The case is a very sad one. Despondent
over being unable to obtain work, aod with
no hope before her, the young woman de
cided to take her life. She arrived in the
city Thursday morning aod went to Hart's
boose. She said something about wanting
to work there, but was t id they bad all the
help needed. She was given a room on the
top floor and said no mors about wanting
work. She was very pleasant and friendly
with the people around the house and no
one supposed she had any thought of taking
her own life.
WENT TO HER ROOM.
About 10 o’clock yeeterday she borrowed
• pencil from a boarder and went upstairs
to her room. She was not seen again until
late in the afternoon and it was
supposed that she had gone out for a walk.
Some children passing through the
room about 5 o’clock taw her lying on the
bed but suppoeed she was asleep. Mrs.
Hart’s alteut.on was oalled to ber shortly
after (5 o’clock, and she attempted to aroute
her but was unable to do so and told her
husband that she believed Miss Murphy was
dying.
A note was found in her bosom saying
the had decided to take her life. Mr. Hart
sent immediately for physicians. Drs.
Redding and Boyd responded, and en
deavored to restore her to consciousness.
A 60-grain bottle of morphine was found
on the bureau in the room. The bottle was
more than half empty. The remaining
contents were weighed and found to
be twenty-four grains, from which it was
judged the woman bad taken thirty-six
grains. If she bad taken only ten she would
have been dead before she was discovered,
but the amount taken oame near frustrating
her intention. Drs. Boyd and Redding
worked unceasingly for hours, using every
means known to restore consciousness, but
without avail. An electrio battery was ap
plied, but it had little effect. The inmates
of the bouse rendered every assistance in
their power.
DEATH RATHER THAN SHAME.
The young woman's reason* for the at
tempt upon her life were shown by
two notes, which were found in
her bosom. The first read:
Ariel—l know I have done a great sin by
taking my own life, but I never told you all
Pa and u a said it was all they could do to II v„
and I was od tbe mercy of the onld world, i
made one last effort to make my living and
failed hopelessly. Now you must, for my sake,
always cleave to ma. for fear she tnay come to
some bad eod. Life is very sweet and I bate to
die, but . Truly.
‘•Alice" is the young woman’s half sister,
Mrs. Dr. H. It. Mooney of Ellabell. The note
was written on a torn piece of note paper
and was in a plain, fine hand. Mrs, Mooney
waa known to be In the city
last night, bat could not be
found, though seeroh was mads for
her among her friends. No Dame was
signed to the note, and the only address was
“Alice.”
The second not# was addressed to Dr.
Mooney, and lequested that he take charge
of her body if anything should happen to
her, and expressed confidenoe that he would
do what was right.
Miss Murphy has a number of relatives In
Bulloch and Bryan counties, including some
of the best people of those counties. Her
father and mother are dead and she had no
means of sup ort. Her step-mother had
married a second time, and it seems from
the note that she and her husband were
"barely able to live.”
A FATAL DESPONDENCY.
The young woman had a good education
it is said, and had taught school for awhile’
Bbe had beeu trying to obtain employment
without success and despaired of any” help
Her only prospect was a life of shame, and
•he preferred death.
Miss Murphy was a beautiful young girl
She was of medium hlght, well-form and
with dark, wavy hair, and blue eyes and
oval feature*. It was a pitiful scene in the
boarding house last night; the young girl
stretched upon the bed with her features
contorted as the electric battery was ap
plied to her face, her breath coming iu gasp*
and her body shaken and pushed by rough
but kindly hands.
Dr. Mooney was telegraphed, but could
not be reached, the office at Ellabell being
closed. The young womau had some dis
tant relatives in Savannah, but they did
not know of her presence here.
PHOT HIB LITILE BROTHER.
Lawrence Wilklnaon'e Fatal Fooling
With an Old Pistol.
Lawrence Wilkinson, aged II years, was
shot in the abdomen by his brother Charlie,
aged 12, while playing with a pistol at their
home, No. 62 Broughton street, about 8
o’clock yesterday morning. Tbe boys are
the sms of Frank J. Wilkinson, a butcher
in the market, who has been very ili for
some time with congestion of tbe lungs, and
who is not expected to live.
The boys were lying in bed awake.
Charles bad got hold of an old pistol of hie
father's and was trying to extract the
cartridges from it He had got all out but
one aod was endeavoring to extract that
when it exploded, the ball striking h:s
brother Lawrence in tbe side. Drs. Elliott
*nd Dunn were summoned at once a .and did
what they could for the wounded boy.
Tbe ball could not be found, and as tbe
wound bled very little externally, it is sup
posed to be bleeding internally. The boy
rallied considerably in the afternoon, but is
not expected to live.
The father was sinking yesterday, and be
Is not expected to live more than a few
hours. Both father and sun may die to
day. Tbe father does not know of bis son’s

TEN YEARS AT HARD LABOR.
Toll-gate' Keeper McCoy’s Assailant
Given the Full Penalty.
Isaac Johnsoo, the negro desperado who
called Tollkeeper Frank McCoy, of the Ver
ron shell to his door on the night of
Feb. 23 and tried to brain him with a piece
of scantling for the purpose of rubbery, was
convicted of assault with Intent to murder,
in the superior court yeeterday afternoon,
and sen'ecoed to the foil penalty of the law
—ten years in the penitentiary.
The trial attracted considerable attention
and brought qui’e a crowd of spectators to
the court room, a large portion of whom
i were uegroes. Mr. McCoy, the proseoutor,
had the arm with which he warded off the
blow aud saved his life in a sling, and told
the story of the assault to the jury sub
stantially as was published in the Morning
News at the time.
The hat which Mr. McCoy’s brother
snatched from Johnson’s head during
the struggle which followed the assault, was
displayed on the solicitor’s desk, together
with the piece of scantling ’with which it
was committed aod a murderous-looking
"billy" which was found on Johnson’s per
son when be was arrested.
Attorney JCir.cZlo hotly contested the case,
and for a hopeless cause he handled It wel/.
The hat which the stats claimed Johnson
left behind him was disputed by the de
fense.
A woman named Jolla Jones, who
claimed that she was at Johuson’s bouse the
night of the assault, testiflsd that Johnson
arrived home at 7 o’clock and staid there
until 5 o’clock the next morning. She said
that Johnson had only two hats, a red
Bouton "dipper’’ an 1 a soft hat with orape
upon It. She denied that the hat which
the solicitor had was the negro’s, aod went
into the witness room and brought back a
blaok felt hat which had a crape band. She
couldn’t sav on cross-examination whether
the “dipper" had crane upon it. During
that portion of the Jonee woman’s evidence,
Johnson held up and fingered the “dipper”
hat that the w.sness might see it had no
crape, but it didn’t have the effeot that he
expected, as the woman didn’t seem able to
see it.
Johnson, In his own behalf, told a story
similar to Julia Jones’. He emphatically
denied that he bad assaulted Mr. McCoy.
The burden of Attorney Kinckle’s argu
ment was that the identification of Johnson
was a mistake. He intimated that Joseph
\\ alker (o jored), one of the state’s wit
nesses, who claimed to have met Johnson
several times on the White Bluff road bare
headed ou the night of the asiault. was him
self the assailant of Mr. McCoy, and had
taken the opportunity to throw suspicion
upon Johnson to escape himself.
Solicitor General Fraser didn’t speak
long, bet he ridiculed the idea of m stakon
identity in view of the positive
statement of Mr. MoCuy aud his brother
that Johnson was the uian who bad made
the murderous assault. The solicitor claimed
that the hat produced oy the Jones woman
as the one belonging to Johuson was a wo
man’s hat, evidently the headgear of the
uugro’s wife, and brought into court as his
because it happened to have crape upon it.
Judge Falligaut’s charge occupied about
ten minutes, and tbe jury deliberated only
about the same time in arriving at its ver
diot of guilty.
Johnson was sent to the penitentiary for a
year on a charge of robbery two years ago.
HU offense was somewhat similar to bis
assault ou the old toilkeeper. Johnson
went to an old negro’s house, and, oalling
him out, knocked bint down and stole bis
watch. The jury, at that time, convloted
him, with a rec mmemtation to extreme
mercy of the court.
Detectives Hanlay and Morgan did a good
piece of work in running Johnson down.
Minnie Lamb Gets Two Years.
Minnie Lamb, the oolored w oman who
made a deadly assault upon Sarah Matthews
with a razor in Congress street lane, on the
flight of Feb. 11, was convicted of assault
with intent to murder, without any recom
mendation, but Judge Kalllgaut considered
that there wore extenuating circumstances
and sentenced her to two years In the pom
tentiary. The jury was out only about half
au hour. George E. Bevans, Esq., de
fended the Lamb woman. Her husband,
George I-ntnb, who held Sarah Mathews
while his wife plied the razor, has not
been captured yet.
A motion for anew trial was at once
made by Mr. lievans on the ground that
the verdict Vras contrary to the evi
dence and justloe;

CENTRAL DIRECTORS ACT
TO FIGHT TO THE END THE PETI
TION FOR A RECEIVEB.
The Answer to Mrs. Clarke's Bill Not
Likely to Be Filed Until tbe Case
Comes Up for e Hearing—The Direct
ors to Bold e Meeting In Meoon Mon
day—Jen. A1 Hinder Explains Their
Position Lawyer Rountree Eleic
With the Grip.
A special meeting of the direotors of the
Central railroad was held yesterday morn
lag in Gen. Alexander’s efflo* to discuss tbs
situation and take aotlon upon the petition
for e receiver.
Capt. E. P. Howell of Atlanta, CoL C. H.
Pbinisyof Augusta, and Mr. U. B. Harrold
of Americut were present, with nil of the
Savannah direotors. Mr. Msben of New
York, and Mr. H. T. Inman of Atlanta,
were tbe only members of the board absent.
A letter was read from Mr. Inman regret
ting bis inability to be present.
Gen. Alexander was seen after tbe meet
ing. it was, he said, merely to instruct the
attorneys of the rood, Messrs. Lawton &
Cunningham, to appear at the bearing Mon
day ana resist the petition for tbe appoint
ment of a permanent receiver. This was
only a matter of form, he said, as it was un
derstood the Central director* would take
such aotlon.
WILL FIGHT THE RECEIVERSHIP.
"As th* directors made the loose,” said
Geu. Alexander, "and are satisfied that it
is for the best Interests of the stockholders,
naturally they will do what they can to pro
tect these interests.
"Wn s ill consider the lease tbe best thing
for all concerned, and will endeavor to pro -
tect it. Kour fif.ns of the minority stock
holders have alrea'ly expressed themselves,
against t.e appointment of a receiver and’
the breaking of tbe lease, and the desire of
the majority should certainly prevail' over
the wishes of a few stockholders who seem
blind to their own Interests. The Rich
mond and Dativ lie has performed all of itu
guarantees, and there Is no reason for the
breaking of the lease. The Central railroad
is a eolveut corporation, and there is no
ground for tbe appointment of a receiver.”
Mr. Harrold deal ned to discuss the situs
tion. Hs approved the actiou of the board.
A BAD THING TO DO.
Capt. Howell tald last night that the
Central directors will use every effort to
prevent the appointment of a receiver and
the breaking of the lease. He was strongly
of the opiuion that the breaking of tbo
leuse would be an unwise thing to do and
injurious to the Interests of tbe stockholders
“The Kiohmoud and Danville has paid its
7 per cent, dividend so far, and there is no
reas in to doubt that tbe next dividend wi!
be paid as promptly as the first.” ha sai l
Capt. Howell talked as if he did not be
lieve the lease will be broken. “The Cen
iral is a solvent corporation, and has li -
ne® <1 of a receiver,” he said. “The people
who are disposing of their stock for less than
par are very foolish. I will not sell a dollar
of mine for less.”
“Will it still be worth par in case of tbe
appointment of a receiver?” he was asked
"It will,” he replied. "The Central rail
road is in good Condition, and is still as fine
a piece of railroad property as can be found
in the south.”
TO MEET IN MACON MONDAY.
The Central directors will meet in Macm
Monday morning beforo the hearing of
Judge Speer, to set upon any question that
may present itself.
No answer has been filed by the Central
railroad or Klchrn>ud and Danville
people yet to the bill filed by Mr.
Rountree. It Is not expected that any an
swer will be filed until the case
comas up for a hearing. Mr. Rouatree, the
attorney for Mrs. Clarke, is ill with the grin,
but is keeping up contrary to tbe advice
of his physlolan. Dr. Boyd who is attend
ing him has advis'd him to remain in his
room until ha is fully recovered.
Nona of the directors who were seen could
give any information as to what aotlon
If any has been taken by the Richmond and
Danville people, or whether thev intend
doing anything.
A broker who had just heard of the
actiou of the directors said that now the
railroad has gone to law it will be like a
long game of faro where the dealer’s par
cent, eats up all the money on the table and
nothing’s left for winners or losers. "The
lawyer* will get It all,” he said.
Capt. Raoul, who is prominently men
tioned for the permanent receivership, is #x
pcoted at hit borne at Bolinghroke, near
Atlanta, to-day from New Orleans, It is
said that it will accept the receivership upon
certain conditinns.
THE SOUTHWESTERN’S ACTION.
A meeting of the Southwestern stock
holder* was held in Macon dav before yester
day to take action in theoontest. Dr. Baxter
presided, and W. 3. Brantly acted ax secre
tary. Gen. A. R. Lawton and H. M. Comer
of Savannah, Capt. John A. Davis of Al
bany and Dr. Baxter and W. R. Cox of M -
oon wore present. Capt. W. G. Raoul and
Col. W. W. Gordon were expected but
failed to arrive. Tracy Baxter of Ma
oon and Denmark, Adams & Adams of
Savannah were employed to represent the
Southwestern at the hearing of the re
ceivership case.
An effort similar to that by the Augusta
and Savannah stockholders will be made to
have the dividends upon the Southwestern
railroad declared fixed charges of the Cen
tral in the event of the appointment of a
permanent receiver. It was the sense of
the stockholders that tbe stock of the South
western is perfectly good, aud they are
merely taking precautionary measures to
protect their interests.

HILL COMING AFTER ALL.
THE HI- ERNIAfJB AND BILL CLUB
MEN HAPPY.
Jecretary Prendergast of the Hiber
nian Society Receives Formal Assur
ance That the Benator Will Ee Here
Bt. Patrick’s Day—The Preparations
For His Reception—The Hill Club’s
Proposed Demonstration.
Although Senator Hill thought a few
days ago that he would be unable to visit
Savannah on St. Patrick’s day, he has de
cided to come. At noon yesterday he sent
the following telegram to Mr. Charles F.
Prendergast, secretary of the Hibernian So
ciety:
Washington, D. C., March 11. 1892.
I will arrive in Savannah at 6:30 p. ra. on tbe
17th, but am trying to arrange for an earlier
arrival. David B. Hill.
Mr. Prendergaet replied in a telegram
'assuring Senator Hill that he will be
accorded a hearty reception.
P. J. O’Connor, Erq.. president of the
Hill Club, received a similar telegram to
that seat Mr. Prendergast.
Mr. John J. Sullivan reoeived a telegram
from Col. John F, Gaynor and ex-Maycr
Kirk of Elmira, N. Y., who are in Wash
ington, also announcing that Senator Hill
will be here on Maroh 17. Col. Gaynor was
a member of Gov. Hill’s staff, and he and
ex-Mayor Kirk will arrive to day and re
main in the city for tbe Hibernian banquet.
The Hill Club men were as delighted yes
terday on receiving positive assurance that
their favorite is coming as they were de
pressed the day before over the announce
ment that he bad decided to abandon nis
trip to Savannah. They are now discuss
ing the reoeption they will accord him on
his arrival here. A committee has been
appointed to confer with the stewards of tbe
Hibernian Society about that part of the
programme.
There is talk of meeting Senator Hill with
torches if be arrives at night, and if in the
day to have a grand touraout of the club and
escort hun from the depot to the De Soto.
A committee has also been appointed to re
quest him to make a public speech to the
citizens on tho morning of March 18.
Capt. Evan Howell of Atlanta, who was
in the city yesterday sent Senator Hill a
telegram urging him to come to Savannah
at ail cost, but it is likely the telegram of
Mr. dußignon sent the day before had de
cided the senator to make the trip.
A wall-known Bay street mau, and one
who has had a little experience in local
politics, while discussiug the presidential
question yesterday in connection with Sen
ator Hill’s visit to Savannah, put forth a
view of the situation which is unique. He
doesn’t believe Hill will get tbe nomination,
but that Cleveland will, with the vote of
the New York delegation, and that Hill
and Tammany will work for him and bring
success to the party. The Bay street man’s
idea is that when it is found Hill caun ot
be nominated the Tammany leaders will
demand him to thfow his influence to
Cleveland, as the ex-President lias on one
occasion done tho organization good service,
and accept a place in the cabinet, so as to
control the New York patronage. "I
know,” said the speaker, "that few people
believe as I do, but nevertheless I have
faith in it.”

Hattie Harvey, the young and talented Chi
cago ingenue, wbo was Mine. Patti’s protege,
is playiug the part of the “Lunch Counter
G.rl,” and is perhaps iloiug tbe best work
she has ever done on the stage. Miss Har
vey makes up to represent the 14 vear-old
girl who presides over tjie pies aud sand
wiches, and gives to the part all the cheeky
and bold manner* that the author intended
the part to have. The role also affords the
li tie actress an opportunity to introduce
h r dancing ad singing specialties Frank
Lawton is again playing bis part of the
"Station Agent,” and introduces bis won
derful whistling. The; role of the “Old
C ank," is taken by Charles Cowles. The
girls are pretty and vivacious, the come
dians are clever and the songs, dances aud
other incidental features are new.
Two performances will be given to-day.
A matinee at 2:30 o’clock and a night per
formance.
