8 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.

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. BETHE3DA DOI.S’ DINNER.

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.

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. CATHOLIC KNIGHTS’ COUNCIL.

Name Selected for the New l’nrk for Colored People In West Snvannnli. The new park, recently provided by the E’reet railway company in West Savan nah for colored people, will bo known as Lincoln Park. The name was decided upon after a spiiited contest among the color ed people la which a number of names were suggested. Some time ago a commit tee of colored citizens, consisting of Rev. J. J. Durham, Dr. J. PI. Bugg, John Mc- Intosh, Sol C. Johnson ar.d L. G. Middle ton. was arpoinled by General Manager Lofton to select a name for the new park.

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.

REALTY AT 'BRISK PRICES. FIRST SPUFVG SALE SHOWED LIVE LY DEMAND FOR LOTS. Mr. John 1.. Archer', Sale at the Mendo,vs Developed Spirited liid (linn—A Aitmlier of Lots Sold at I’rlcea I?-tier Ilian Expected-T>.e Lowest Frioe Per Lot $4lO and the Highest S7DO Mr. C. A. Ciibbea lioiiKht l Whole Illocli—Humored Thai the County Commissioner* 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. CITY BREVITIES.

Later in the day Detective Garrity ar rested Willie Williams, as being also im plicated in the thefts. In his house were recovered the vest and trousers of a dress suit, a pair of patent leather pumps, a lot of underwear, and several razors. The greater l part of this lot belongs to a young man whose room on Broughton street was robbed Friday night. A pistol that was taken at the same time the thief sold for sl, but the detective knows where it is, and says he will recover It. Among the articles recovered Is a ladies’ breast pin, gold, with an enameled flower on it. The detective would like to find its own er.
