WILFUL MURDER THE VERDICT.
lIKVRT HELD FOR THE
KILLING OF WILLIAM BROW'S'.
A irglnin Snl*’ Story of the* Trncredy
Told Before the < oroner'i Jury.
Brown Confewsel the Killing: and
Said It \V* Due to Jealousy—Ten
WitncM6 KmniiiHMl by the Cor
oner—The Woman'll Story Corrobo
rated.
Willful murder is the verdict reached
last night by the coroner’s jury in the in
quest upon William Brown, who was
stabbed by Henry Tyndall Sunday after
noon. and died shortly after being taken
to the Georgia Infirmary.
The inquest was hell in the court ro>m
at the police barrack*. Ten witnesses were
examined but oniy one, Viola Sauls, was
an eye-witness to the killing. Her testi
mony in brief was lo the effect that she
and Tyndall hud been living together up
to the day of the stabbing. On the morn
ing of that day she had told Tyndall that
he couldn't live with her any longer, as
she didn’t like the way he had been act
ing. She told him to take his things and
go, and, according to her statement, he
packed bis clothes in a basket and had it
moved from the house.
In the afternoon the woman said Brown
called on her and was in the room when
Tyndall returned and demanded admit
tance. which she refused. Tyndall th n
raised from the outside the window of the
room and told her lie wanted to cotne .n
to get some cards that he had left there. ,
6till she refused him admittance, and he
went around to the roar of the bouse,
came through the gate and through the
rear room into that in which Hie and
Brown were sitting.
As he came in and caught sight of
Brown he demanded what he was doing in
there with his wife. Brown replied that he
was not aware that the woman was his
wife. To tii is answer Tyndall replied that
it didn't matter a ; she was his wo
man.
While this conversation was being ear
ned on between the men, Viola saw that
Tyndall had his knife open in his pocket
from which the blade protruded, and
knowing, she said, the desperate nature
of the man she started for the front door.
Brown must have staittd to fallow her,
for when she reached the door she heard
a scuttle ami, looking back, saw Brown
coming from the room, and Tyndall
clutched with him and striking him with
the knife. There was blood on Brown’s
shirt. She called to Tyndall not to cut
the man. and Brown also joined in with
the prayer that Tyndall would “wait a
minute and let him talk to him.’’ Tyndall
continued to cut the man, the woman
sold, and, fearing that as soon as he had
done with fhown he would attack her,
she left the hopse and started up the
street. Looking back a few seconds af
terward she saw Tyndall following h r.
She then ran and, turning the corner,
sought refuge in the house of a friend,
where she stayed until she heard of Tyn
dalls capture. Brown, she said, neither
had a weapon nor did he make any de
fense acainst Tyndall s attack.
The gist of the testimony of the other
witnesses was that the Sauls woman had
left the house apparently in haste, anil
that in a few seconds Tyndall was seen
to kick Brown from the door of the
house where the affray occurred. He
staggered across the street to the house
of a friend. Tom Youmans, and Tyndall
later emerged from the house, wiping a
bloody knife upon his coat. He walked
to the corner of the street and then start
ed to run, but was pursued by Youmans
and others, who finally caught him and
turned him over to Officer JeTnigan.
The murderer wns not before the jury,
but in a preliminary statement to Cor
oner GoeHe acknowledged the cutting,
giving as a reason jealousy. After hear*
ing the evidence it took the jury but a
short iim<* to agree on the verdict.
FIMvHAL OF JOHN A. FONTAN.
Hi* Remit in* Laid to Heat in the
(*i t!• dr 1 Ci*ni et *• ry.
The funeral of the late John A. Fontan,
for years a conductor in the employ of
the Savannah. Thi’drbolt and Isle of
Hope Street Railway, took place yester
day from the Sacred Heart Church. Mr.
Fontan had the faculty of making many
IriendS during his lifetime, and in tha
large attendance at Hi fun*ral were
some who kr.ew him only by sight, and
as the “courteous and obliging conductor’’
on the Whitaker sireet line. Not a few
of those who pa and the last tribute of re
spect were among these.
The pali b arers were composed of
street railway men. They were O. H.
Yates and O. B. H. Johnson, the two vet
eran employes f the company, John
Floyd, J. B. Ba gg. W. F. Hodges and F.
Drexler. G neral Manager Lofton and
Superintendent Lewis vyere among the
street railway officials present. Mr. Fon
tan hod relatives in Florida, some of
v. horn were present.
It is seldom that men whose patience is
83 often put to th t-s by being thrown
in with great numbers daily retain the
esteem and respect of all as successfully
as did Mr. Fontan. While he moved in the
humbler walks of life, his dealings with
street railway patrons demonstrates how
easily respect may be commanded from
the public.

COMPULSORY VACCINATION.
Sanitary Board A\ ill Decide If Ordi
nance In to lie “Enforced..
At the meeting of the sanitary board
to-day the question of proper measures to
be taken to enforce the city’s compul
sory vaccination ordinance will be the
chief subject of discussion. The time al
lowed by the Mayor’s proclamation and
supplemented later by the action of Coun
cil for complying with the law requiring
all residents of Chatham county to be
vaccinated expired Sunday and the city
was at liberty to begin Its compulsory
vaccination campaign yesterday. This
was only done in a limited way, how
ever.
The indications are that the enforce
ment of the ordinance will no< be as gen
eral as was the intention at the time the
ordinance was adopted. There is lyss ap
prehension on the score of smali-pox than
ihere was a' while back and the public
is giving the subject les attention. Mayor
Myers, when seen yesterday, said that he
did not consider it necessary to enforce a
general house to house "vaccination cam
paign.
“The ordinance is intended,” he said,
“to confer the power upon the health of
ficer and ihe city physicians to enforce
vaccination where necessary—for instance,
where a case of small-pox has been dis
covered. and it is deemed advisable to
vaccinate all who have been exposed to
it. It should be remembered that the
ordinance imposes a fine not to exceed
SIOO upon all who have not been vaccin
ated.”
It. may be Bint other members of the
board entertain different views from
those expressed by the Mayor, and it is
likely that Dr. Brunner will insist on
making the campaign more general. Dr.
Brunner said yesterday that his vaccina
tion campaign had been progressing quiet
ly all the time, and that a great deal of
work had been accomplished.
HUNTED E&GS OF MAN Y HUES.
Gold and Silver Ones Won Prizes for
St. John's Children.
The Cflaneel Society of St. John's Church
gave an Easter egg hunt yesterday after
noon at the home of Col. and Mrs. J. H.
Estill on Whitaker street. Over three
hundred eggs of every hue and color,
many with elaborate designs, and pictures
of celebrated men, had been hidden about
the lawn and garden during the afternoon.
There were also two special eggs, the
finders of which were to be rewarded with
prizes. One of these, a silver coated one
was for the girl hunters and the other,
golden hued for the boys.
The children were admitted to the lawn
at 5 o’clock and immediately began a
wild scramble to find the hidden treasures.
They delved in hot haste into every nook
and corner, rose bush, or cluster of violets
that seemed to them a promising place,
and were rewarded in the majority of
cases with one or more of the painted
treasures.
The silver egg was discovered by Miss
Lucy Dancy, who received as the reward
of her good luck a nest of candy eggs. The
golden egg, the Inst to be found, was spied
out by Master Robert Towards, who was
given a box of chocolates. After the eggs
had all been found ice cream, sherbert and
cake was served on the piazza.
As the hunt was well attended the ad
mission fee. with the receipts from the
sale of refreshments, made quite a neat
sum for the treasury of the society.
DEATH OF MRS. MONAHAN.
She AVn* Seventy-three A'enr* and
INoted for Her Charity.
An old citizen of Savannah, loved and
mourned by all who knew her, passed
away at 5 o’clock yesterday morning.
After an illness of a few days, to which
her advanced ngq rendered her an easy
victim. Mrs. Bridget Adelaide Monahan
died from an attack of the grip.
Mrs. Monahan was a native of the Coun
ty Clare, Ireland, and was 73 years old.
She come to Savannah in. 1856 and had
since been a continuous resident here.
Quiet and unobtrusive in all that she did,
phe was yet an angel of mercy to many a
stricken household and her kindly deeds
of mercy and acts of loving kindness were
known to many upon whom th< y were be
stowed! Three children, John and
George Monahan and Miss Mamie Mona
han, all residents of the city, survive their
mother.
The funeral will take place at 4:30
o'clock this afternoon from her late resi
dence, No. 214 Bryan street, east. The In
terment will be in the Cathedral Cemo ery.

THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, APRIL 37, 1900.
NOT A MAYORALTY CANDIDATE.
%LD. DIXON SAYS MR. DALE NEED
NOT RETIRE ON HIS ACCOUNT.
He In Not In the Race for Mayor—(’ol.
Lawton Talked of for the Senate
by the Liberal* anti May He Aaked
to Run—Not Known Whether He
Will Consent to Do So, However.
Mr. Onborne the Only Son-in-Law
of the County Commission*# Cholr
7iinu Who I* After Office.
It is evident that Chairman J. J. Dale
of the Board of County Commissioners
need not remain out of the race to succeed
himself because of his expressed opposi
tion to having too many members of his
family in office or seeking office at the
same time.
Since Mr. Dale made his announcement
that he would not again be a candidate
for county commissioner, one son-in-law,
Col. M. W. Dixon, has announced that
he will not be a candidate for the state
Senate. Another son-in-law, Mr. James
M. Dixon, requests the announcement that
he is not a candidate for the mayoralty.
This leaves Mr. W. \Y. Osborne the only
member of the family who is now in the
field for anything, un<t it is well known
that Mr. Osborne and his father-in-law
have never co-operated with each other
politically.
“I do not see why this campaign should
have anything whatever to do with the
municipal election,” said Mr. James M.
Dixon yesterdayp neither do I want Mr.
Dale to Keep out of the race for the coun
ty commissionership on my account.
am not a candidate for Mayor, but on the
other hand will give my entire support to
the party r-uninee,* whoever he may be.
It is too far in advance at present to dis
cuss mayoraliy matters.”
It will be observed that Mr. Dixon does
not say he inay not become a candidate
when the mayoralty campaign does be
gin.
The slowness w r ith which the political
candidates are coming forward is the re
markable feature of the campaign. It
looks very much as if the leaders on the
opposing sides will be left free to arrange
the tickets to suit themselves. It is re
ported on good authority that the name of
Col. Alexander R. Lawton will be pre
sented by the Liberal faction for the state
Senate, provided Col. Lawton will give his
consent.
The fact that Col. Lawton has never
taken any active part in municipal poli
tics is believed to be an element of
strength in his favor. Col. Lawton’s mil
itary record, as the commander of the
First Regiment of Infantry, both in war
and in peace, is an excellent one, and it
is believed that would command
the votes from the survivors of the late
war, as well as from the militiamen of
the city. It is not known if Col. Law
ton has been consulted In the matter as
yet, but the probability is that he has.
The result has not yet been announced.

ENCOURAGING TO SIIAILEHOLBEHS.
Atlanta Loan Association Likely to
Pay 7.% Per Cent, of Lin hi II tic*.
Mr. G. B. Whatley, who has been for the
past ten years local counsel and represen
tative of the Southern Home Building an 1
Loan Association of Atlanta, which has
recently passed into the hands of receivers
appointed by the United States Circuit
Court, returned a day or two ago from a
trip to tho association’s headquarters,
where he made a careful examination of
its assets.
Mr. Whatley’s trip was undertaken in
the interest of the local shareholders of he
association, who represent stock to <he
value of something more than $30.00).
There is $23,000 worth of stock now held in
Savannah upon which nothing has be<n
borrowed and probably the residual value
of the stock upon which something has
been borrowed will bring the association's
total liabilities to its Savannah sharehold
ers up to $32,600 0r*533,000. -
While in Atlanta Mr. Whatley had a
conference with Judge John T. Pendleton,
one of the receivers appointed bv the
court, who assured him that the associa
tion would be able ultimately to pay to its
shareholders *u per cent, of the far - value
of their stock, representing approximate y
the amount of th. ir investment. Mr.
Whatley himself made an examination • f
the association’s books and accounts and
as a result <*Ame to the same conclusion.
He took occasion to ask Judge Pendleton
also what course would bo pursued by the
receivers in reference to those sharehold
ers and others who had borrowed from
the company ami had not completed the
payment of their loans. He was assured
that the receivers did not contemplate any
drastic measures to enforce the collection
of these assets of the association, that the
borrowers w r ould be treated with all possi
ble consideration and permitted every in
dulgence and extension of time that (he
court would allow. This will be a relief
to those of the borrowers living in Savan
nah, some of whom f<ared that the meas
ures that would lie taken by ihe receivers
to collect these loans would result in the
loss of their homes.
There has been some dissatisfaction
among the shareholders here at the ap
pointment as one of the receivers of the
association of Mr. W. 11. Henderson, who
was one of Its former officers. The ob
jection was not, it would seem, to Mr.
Henderson personally, but was based on
tho belief that someone who had not
had any previous official connection with
the association w'ould have been better
able to protect their interests.
This objection is not shared by Mr.
Whatley. It became knowui to him that
Mr. Henderson’s appointment was with
the consent of counsel representing nil
the parties interested and made for good
reasons. Judge Pendleton, the other re
ceiver, is not a building and loan expert,
while Mr. Henderson is, uniting to his
general fitness for the position a thorough
acquaintance with the business affairs
and interests of the company he is to
wind up under the direction of the court.
Both he and his colleague, Judge Pendle
ton, are under $25,000 bonds in a surety
company. Mr. Whatley feels much en
couraged as a result of his visit and be
lieves that the company wall be wound
up and the shareholders receive nearly or
quite the full amount of their invest
ments.
SIX MONTHS WITH THE Y. M. C. A.
Some of the Work llie Association Is
Doing.
General Secretary Johnson of the
Young Men’s Christian Association has
compiled an interesting report of the as
sociation’s work for the six months from
Oct. i, 1899, to April 1. During that time
the association had a membership of 509,
2CO active members, IG3 associate mem
bers, and 86 junior members. The total
attendance at the association building for
six months was 18,385, a daily average of
118. One reception was held, attended
by 500, four socials with an attendance
of 485 and fifteen ladies’ evenings, with
an attendance of 1,763.
In the educational department there
were thirty-eight students. Fifty ses
sions of the English class were attended
by 234 students, an average of five. Forty
seven sessions of the bookkeeping class
were attended by 337 students, an average
attendance of seven. In mechanical for
ty-seven sessions were attended by 334, an
average of seven. " Five lectures and en
tertainments were given, with an attend
ance of 1,650, an average of 330.
The physical department did an effective
■work, and the gymnasium was a popular
feature of the association. The three
classes, business men, young men and
juniors, were well patronized. At seven
ty-two sessions of the business men’s
class there was an attendance of 687, six
ty-three sessions of the young men’s class
were attended by 1,181 members and sev
enty-five sessions of the junior class had
an attendance of 2,531, the average at
tendance in eighty-six members being
thirty-four. Besides the class work, the
attendance in the gymnasium was somcv
thing over 1.200. Two exhibitions were
given, with an attendance of 1.700, and
the number of baths taken, 5,065, is an
evidence of the popularity of the bath
privileges.
Tho religious work, which, of course,
is the main work of the association, shows
a large attendance. Twenty-six Sunday
meetings were hold, with an attendance
?>f 1,073, an average of forty-one; twenty
nine mid-week meetings, with an attend
ance of 408 and seventy-three Bible
classes, with an attendance of 362. Twelve
requests for prayer were made and two
young men united with churches.
The general work of the association was
well done. Thirty-nine letters were writ
ten by young men, thirty-five young men
were directed to boarding houses, work
was secured for three and twelve were
otherwise assisted.
LOTS FOR MANUFACTURERS.
A Tract Along St lie* Avenue S Ifi

Tho strip of property, belonging to Capt.
Henry McAlpin, between Stiles avenue
and tho new track of the Georgia and

building lots designed for manufacturing
purposes. Capt. McAlpin has made maps
of the property, and it is not improbable
that the lots will be in demand.
Adjoining the tract on the north is the
property sold by Capt. McAlpin to the

W ill Open and I'ave Henry Street
to the Catholic Cemetery.
If' the opening spring sale of lots can
be taken as an indication, the real estate
agents are in for a big season. The first
sale was by Mr.. John L. Archer at the
Meadows yesterday afternoon. While the
attendance was not large the bidding was
very lively, and the lots went at higher
prices than was anticipated. Mr. Archer
has developed surprisingly as an auc
tioneer since his opening sale less than a
year ago, and displayed abilities in this
line which was hardly expected, even by
those most interested, be seemed to have
the crowd with him all the time.
The lois were those of the Meadows
tract on each side of Albert street, the
first east of the Waters road. This popu
lar little settlement seems to have found
great favor of late, due partly probably
to the fact that being just outside of the
city limits the residents enjoy all the bene
fits of city residence without having city
taxes to pay. The rumor that the County-
Commissioners intend to open Henry
street to the Catholic cemetery and to
pave it with gravel may account for the
eagerness of the buyers. The handsome
improvements already made there by lot
owners doubtless explains the rest.
Mr. Archer announced that his terms
were $25 cash, and $5 a month, with in
terest at the rate of a per cent. These
very reasonable terms were also an in
ducement to the buyers, and account in
some part for the readiness with which
bids were made. It was stated at tho
opening of the sale that Mr. Charles A.
Gibbes had bought at private sale the
ten lots adjoining his handsome residence
on Henry street for $6,750, and had an
nounc'd his intention of converting the
lots into a private park. This, of course,
tended to enhance the value of adjoining
property. The lots ate 30 by 116 feet except
the corner lots which are 36 by 1116 feet.
The first sale made was that of four
lots, being the remaining lots on the north
side of Henry street, east, of Albert
street, to Mrs. Johanna Ronan, widow of
the late John T. Ronan, at $630 each. It
was stated that Mrs. Ronan intends to
build immediately. The lots are imme
diately adjoining the property of Mr.
Joseph Copps.
Crossing Albert street, Mr. Archer sold
three lots on the north side of Henry
street to Mr. Lambert Garmany at SSOO
each. The two adjoining lots were sold to
Mrs. A. K. Porter at $455 each. The next
two lots were sold to Mrs. J. P. Gayou,
at slls each, and were shortly afterwards
resold for the benefit of the purchaser for
$425 each, to Mr. George H. Waring.
Mr. Archer then crossed to the south
side of Henry street, where there was
some very lively bidding fox- the two lots
at the southeast corner of Henry and Al
bert streets, a lady and a gentleman be
ing the competitors, the result being that
the lots were knocked down to the latter
at $750 each. The third lot on the south
side was sold to D. Ewen McCuen. at $450,
and the next two adjoining to Mrs. J. P.
Gayou at $l5O each. The next lot on this
side was sold to Mr. O Mara at sllO. This
was the last sale on Henry street, Mr.
Archer announced that the investment
company was wi ling to keep the remain
ing lots there at' the prices fixed by the
sales.
The auctioneer then crossed over to
Duffy street, where the second lot from
the corner of Albert street on the south
west side, was sold to Mr. R. J. Davant
for S4SS. Mr. Davant bought the corner lot
at $405, and two adjoining lots at $495 and
SISS. Mr. C. A. Branch bought lots 112 and
143 on the same side at $435 each.
On the north side of Duffy street three
lots were sold to M. E. Trapani at S4OO
each. Lot 104, across Albert street, was
sold to L. B. Greer for S4OO. The ad
joining lot was sold to R. W. Adams for
$lO5. Capt. J. D. Boyle purchased two
lots at the southwest corner of Duffy and
Albert streets for $425 each. Mr. F. 8.
Lathrop purchased lots 136 and 137, adjoin
ing Mr. Horace Rivers’ residence, on Duf
fy street, ;i $615 each. Mr. R. S. Clag
horn purchased lots 124 and 125. adjoining
his own residence, on Duffy sireet, at $605
each. This concluded the sale.
Notwithstanding the reasonable terms
offered, those interested had good reason
to be satisfied with the results of the
sales, the prices being eycn better than
had been expected. This section of the
city has built up very rapidly within the
last year, a number of new and hand
some residences having been erected. All
the indications point to The Meadows as
one of the most popular suburbs of the
city.
