Tyndall'* Trial Assigned for To
day—Tin* Stories of the Crimen for
Which flic Defendant* Will He
Tried Retold—Rend'* Cane the Most
Important of All.
This week will be an interesting one in
the Superior Court, the criminal trials
of most importance for the term being
assigned for the next five days. The
criminal cases that are to be tried em
brace those of three murderers, or al
leged murderers, and that of King Sabo.
To-day there has been assigned for
trial the case of Henry Tyndall, who has
been indicted for the murder of William
Brown. Easter Sunday Brown was in a
room in Coopershop lane with a negro
woman, Viola Sauls. It appeared that
Tyndall claimed the woman as his own
special property, and that when the news
reached him that she was in Brown's
company, he was rendered furiously an
*ry.
Armed with an ugly looking knife he
entered the room at a bound and made a
furious assault upon his rival. From the
evidence thus far adduced Brown seems
to have been unarmed and defenseless and
the attack upon him to have been un
provoked by anything said or dene by
him. other than his attentions to the wo
man.
He had no time to explain his position.
Tyndall was prepared to go any length
to make good his claim to the woman,
her affections and society. The knife rose
and fell half a dozen times in quick suc
cession. inflicting a number of ugly
wounds, one of them, in the breast, just
below the collar hone, being that which
is thought to have caused death. The
wounded man was taken from Yamacraw
to the Georgia Infirmary, where he ex
pired in less than two hours after the
wounds had been inflicted.
Lyndall escaped from the house, but
only to attract the attention of Patrolman
Jernigan, by whom he was arrested and
cent in to the station house. The coroner's
jury held him for murder and the grand
jury of the last term of the Superior Court
indicted him for the same offense. It is
upon this charge that he is to stand trial.
To-morrow will be made interesting by
the trial of William Cash well, alias King
Sabro, on a charge of attempting the ab
duction of Preston Everett. The various
facts in this c*ase, Sabro's strange infatu
ation for the boy. his several attempts to
get the boy away from the control of his
parents, his partial success at Macon and
his last disastrous failure, are all suffi
ciently familiar. To those who have een
and conversed with Sabro it has seemed
that he has slipped an eccentric and that
he is, like the girl in the touching ballad
of the streets, "more to be pitied than cen
sured." That he is mentally wrong some
how everbody agrees.
On Wednesday Signora Mitchell will be
placed on trial for the murder of James
Harris. The woman shot and killed the
man in a quarrel over a game of skin, in
which a number of negroes were engaged.
The game was in progress in the disrepu
table dive maintained by the woman, at
the corner of Cuyler street and Duffy
lane, on the early morning of May 28.
As to the facts of the willing there is
considerable diversity of evidence, one
bunch o f witnesses asserting that Han is
had already made one assault upon the
woman and was preparing to make an
other when she fired, while the witnesses
on the other side aver that the shooting
was not preceded by any circumstances
that could afford it justification in law.
As the woman has told her story. Harris
wo6 about to attack her with a knife
when she fired the fatal shot, but the
force of this explanation Is wcakne 1 by
the fact that no knife was found on Har
ris’ person ot anywhere about the lnnse.

CT'T W ITH A RAZOR.
Amelia McKenzie’* Vicionsi Attack
on Klim Rennfort.
Eliza Beaufort, colored, was seriously
cut with a razor last night bv Amelia Mc-
Kenzie, also colored, with whom she had
a dispute over st-ine wearing apparel.
The Beaufort woman received three cuts,
one in the shoulder four inches long and
half as deep, and one in each side. She
was taken to her home at Tattnall and
Taylor streets, where her wounds w re
dressed by Dr. Ileriot.
The story of the affair as given by an
eye witness, Rosa Roper, with whom the
Beaufort woman has been living, is to the
effect that the row started Saturday night
when the assailant called at her house
and demanded of the Beaufort woman
aome clothes which she claimed were her
property. Alter a lengthy dispute, with
many threats on the part of the claimant
of the articles, she went away, Last night
the two women and the witness together,
with a number of other negroes, met in
the delectable neighborhood of East Broad
and Liberty streets, notorious for the
many crimes committed there, and here
the quarrel was renewed.
The McKenzie woman renewed ber
threats and drawing a lazor started for
the other woman. Before she reached
her, however, she was caught by Ro a
who held her, at the nitne
vising her friend to run. This la a ifort
did, but not fast nor far enough, for Mc-
Kenzie. breaking away fiom Rosa, caught
ths fugitive as she ran into the restau
rant of a man named Jefferson, and gave
her the slashes with the weapon before
she could be prevented.
The wounded woman was brought out
on the sidewalk until an ambulance could
be secured, when she was taken home.
Her assailant was arrested shortly after
the affray by Officer Flynn of the Plant
6ylem police.

DEATH OF MISS CL IRA STROP*.
Crime nl O O’clock Yesterday After
noon After n f/Ong Illness.
Miss Clara M. Strous, eldest daughter
of Mrs. M. J. Strous, died at 6 o’clock
yesterday afternoon of consumption, af
ter a lingering illness. For some weeks
her health had grown steadily worse, and
death, when it came, was not unex
pected.
Miss Strous had been ill for five or six
months. Recently she took a trip to the
mountains of North Carolina, in the hope,
which her family and friends shared, that
the mountain air would restore her
strength and build up her shattered con
stitution. The hope was a vain one, for
when the invalid returned to Savannah,
now some three weeks since, she was
worse, instead of being better. From
that time she declined rapidly, until the
end came.
The funeral will take place at 5 o’clock
this afternoon, from the family residence.
No. 205 Henry street, east. The Inter

CHURCH’S DUTY TO LABOR.
REV. C. H STRONG DISCUSSED AN
IMPORTANT QUESTION.
The Work of the Recent Conference
n* Wnnliinuton of flic* f'hnreh As
sociation for flic Advancement of
the Interest* of Labor Reviewed
nnd Approved—The C'horcli and
Laboring Men Must Get Closer To
gether and 1 ndcmtuDil Each
Other—Humanitarian Work und
Not Eeeie*ln*ticl*ii I* lint I* De
manded of tlie Church.
Rev. Charles H. Strong gave his congre
gation an interesting discourse at St.
John’s Church yesterday upon the C. A. I.
L„ or the "Church Association for the Ad
vancement of the Interests of Labor."
Properly speaking, Mr. Strong’s discourse
was an argument in behalf of the need
of more humanitarian work on the part
of the church, particularly as applied to
labor. The work being done by the C. A.
I. L. In the North and West furnished a
strong illustration of the need and value
of such a movement.
Mr. Strong dwelt especially upon the
recent convention of the C. A. I. L. in
Washington, which wan not only attend
ed by Bishops Satterlee and Huntingdon
and other prominent divines of the Epis
copal Church, but by leaders of labor
throughout the country, Including Presi
dent Gompers of the Federation of La
bor, President Parsons of the Knights of
Labor, Frederick Warde, the celebrated
actor, and numbers of clergyman, repre
sentatives of labor and others interested
in the work.
The purpose of the C. A. T. 1.*., Mr.
Strong explained, is to bring the church
and the laboring man face to face in or
der that a better understanding of the
purposes of one and the conditions of the
other may be reached. To show the prac
tical nature of the work he briefly re
viewed the subjects considered nt the
conference, among them the needs of mo
tormen, child labor in the factories, the
industrial organization of women, the
condition of the sweatshop workers, llte
in the dark allies of the cities, department
store employes, compulsory arbitration of
labor troubles, and factory life in the
small cities.
All of these topics were gone into and
fully discussed and an account given of
what is being done by the association on
each line. One of the most eloquent
speeches at the conference was delivered
by President Parsons of the Knights of
IjQbor, who created something of a sen
sation by declaring that it was the church
which had grown away from the laboring
men and not the laboring men who had
grown away from the church. Mr. Freder
ick Warde in an eloquent speech, discussed
the near approach of the church to the
stage and of the stage to the church and
showed that the actors are not so devoid
of religion as the public has been led to
believe.
Mr. Strong dwelt upon this conference
and the good work which has already
been accomplished by the association for
the purpose of bringing out the idea that
the work of the church for the coming
century must be along humanitarian liri'es.
The world is weary of ecclesiastieism and
denominational differences, he said, and
the true expression of Christ is to be found
in effors for the amellorotiwn of the con
dition of all mankind. He the inci
dent of Leo XIII and the monk, in which
His Holiness is represented as remarking
to the monk, who had called to receive
his blessing, (hat it could no longer be
truly said of the church “Silver and gold
have I none,” to which the monk replied:
“Neither can it any longer say ‘Take up
thy bed and walk.’ “
The position of the church in this day.
Mr. Strong said, should be that it both
possesses the material wealth needed for
its work and also the* readiness and the
ability to ameliorate the condition of the
weak and the suffering. The great ad
vantage of such an organization as the
C. A. I. L., he said, was in the bringing,
the church and the laboring man face
to face and in enabling them to understand
the trtie conditions of each.
TI H PEM’INE MEN SI FFER.
The Rains Greatly Interfere AYltli
Gathering the Product.
The naval stores industry is pretty sure
to puffer with other industries as a result
of the heavy rains which have prevailed
throughout the belt during the last ten or
twelve days. The effect of wet weather
is to stop work, in the first place, and the
lower temperature caused thereby checks
the flow of gum and the gathering of the
product.
Reports to factors are to the effect that
heavy rains have interfered with work
throughout the naval stores territory in
Georgia. Work has been considerably in
terfered with in Florida. The downpour
was equally as damaging in Alabama and
Mississippi, so that the general effect will
probably be heavily f It. Farmers had
had trouble in getting a sufficient supply
of labro. and this followed by the damag
ing rains will have a very detrimental ef
fect.
While prices of turpentine have been go
ing down as a result of a light demand,
attributed largely to shipments from the
Gulf ports, where factors arc* dealing di
rect with foreign consumers, it is probable
the effect of the rain will be to check this
tendency and impart a decided firmer tone
to the market, rp to this time, however,
the bullish weather reports have not re
sisted the tendency caused by the lighter
demand.

BAHNABAS AND PAIL.
Rev. Dr. RoV*riale’a Sermon at the
First Baptist Cbarch.
Large congregations listened to two ex
cellent sermons by Rev. B. D. Ragsdale,
D.D., of Mercer University, at the First
Baptist Church yesterday. Dr. Jordan was
absent in AMenta, where he officiated at
one of the Baptist churches of that clt/.
The topic discussed by Dr. Ragsdale at
night was the character of Barnabas, one
of the leading disciples of Christ, and the
companion of Paul in his early missionary
journeys.
Dr. Ragsdale said that Barnabas seemed
to be one of the neglected characters of
the Scriptures. His evident purpose In
discussing the life and work of Barnabas
was to show the great usefulness of many
men to whom it is not given to take the
leading parts in great movements, but
who lay the foundations upon which others
build.
Dr. Ragsdale said the scriptural ac
counts give but slight information con
cerning Barnabas. He first comes into
prominence when the Jewish Christians
at Jerusalem were informed that Christ
had been preaching to the Greeks at
Antioch. This was anew thing in the
church, and Barnabas was chosen to go
to Antioch and investigate. He did so,
and gave his hearty approval and encour
agement to the work already begun
there among the Gentiles.
It is here that the scriptural account
speaks of Barnabas ns "a good man, and
full of the Holy Ghost and of faith.”
With the further statement that "much
people was added unto the Lord.” Im
mediately following It is stated that Bar
nabas departed to Tarsus to seek for
Saul, who had recently been converted,
and brought him to Antioch, where they
conducted a revival meeting for a whole
year, converting many to Christ. After
this they went on their first missionary
journey together, visiting the new
churches, making many converts and un
dergoing persecution later, being sent out
again by the church at Antioch, a se
rious contention arose, Paul declining to
accept of the company of Mark, the
nephew of Barnabas, because the latter
"had got homesick,” as Dr. Ragsdale
expressed h, on the former Journey, and
had turned back.
Dr. Ragsdale was inclined to attribute
this falling out and separation of the two
great missionaries as due rather to the
impulsive spirit of the Apostle Paul than
to any error in judgment on the part of
Barnabas. The former, he pointed out,
was the younger man, the more recent
convert, and the. more filled with fire and
zeal. He had begun to preach the gospel
immediately upon his conversion, and had
raised a great stir at Damascus, where
he was first received by the Christians.
He followed this by creating great ex
citement at Jerusalem and later at An
tioch nnd other places which he visited.
Although all further account of Bar
nabas ceases after this, and the remaind
er of the narrative is devoted almost en
tirely to the work of Paul, who thence
forth became the great apostle to the
Gentiles, Dr. Ragsdale pointed owt that
there was no reason to imagine any re
flection or discredit upon Barnabas on
this account. He had already done a
great work for the church, and for the
apostle himself. It was he who went to
Tarsus and brought the new convert, Sul,
to the Christians at Antioch, giving him
his indorsement and laboring there with
him very successfully for the period of
a year. It was Barnabas who accom
panied Paul on his first missionary tour
and who apparently had the direction of
the tour. Tt was evident, Dr. Ragsdale
said, that the advice and experience of
the older man was needed by the young
apostle, and the great success which at
tended the work of the latter thereafter
may have been due in large part to the
instruction of the friend from whom he
parted in heat.
Discussing Barnabas, Dr. Ragfdale said
that ho would judge him to tie a fine look
ing man, because at one place where tho
natives were astonished an miracle by
Paul the people thought they were gods
and called Barnabas Jupiter, showing ao
parentlv that he was of commanding pres
ence. Apparently from expressions else
where he was an unmarried man and also
possessed of some means, as he was sal 1
to be a liberal giver. He raised, a la-g**
contribution at Antioch for the benefit of
the distressed brethren in Judea during
the famine there, every man determining
to give according to-his ability, which Dr.
Ragsdale considered a very good rule in
such matters. That he was a prudent
man was evident from the fact that he
was selected to go to Antioch to deal with
the situation there when the question of
preaching Christ to the Gentiles first
arose.
Apparently it had not been given to Bar
nabas to be one of the great leaders of
the early Christian movement, but the
work assigned him was important and was
well done. Dr. Ragsdale likened him to
fhe type of the many useful Christians
who perform important work for the wel
fare and advancement of the cause of
Christ, but who remain in the background
while is reaped by others which
would not have been possible except for
their labors.
WILL MOVE ACROSS THE RIVER.
Lumber Exporter* to 31ake Tlieir
Healiuarterti There.
By an arrangement the Georgia and
Alabama is to make on its terminal prop
erty a number of lumber exporters will
move their offices the Bland during the
summer. It is the intention of the rail
road officials to assign to each of Sa
vannah’s lumber exporters the docks they
atv to use*. At these docks, or at places
convenient to them, the railroad proposes
to build offices for the use of lumber ex
porter. which they can arrange* to occu
py. It is understood one firm has decided
to move to tin* island, and that o hers ore
considering the matter.
Speaking of the‘r dealings with the
Georgia and Alabama one large exporter
said yesterday that Hie railroad officials
had been very considerate in every way.
“In the first place,’’ he said, “they called
on us about the time they were ready to
start work on the do ks and got our ideas
id>out the kind of docks best suited for
the quick loading of lumber. Some of the
exporters thought the straight docks the
best, while others favored the Taw tee h.’
Both have been built, so that there can
he no possible dissatisfaction. The pro
viding of offices on the other side is
greatly appreciated by the trade.”
Ii is noi probable that very many of
the exporters will go to the terminals, at
least fot* the present. They say it will be
inconvenient for them in meeting mill men
from the country, and in attending to
business matters in the city. Unless the
ferry is qu.ck and satisfactory the
chances are that few will go over right
off.

Mr. Myers stated that he would be suc
ceeded by Mr. John B. Hockaday, at
present assistant superintendent of the
Washington division of the Southern Ex
press Company, with headquarters in
that city. Although iMr. Hockaday is
still a comparatively young man, he has
been twenty years in the service of the
company, and is a traffic man of ex
perience and much native ability. Un
der his direction it is expected that the
management of the company’s business
in this division and the handling of the
various perishable products which are
shipped from this section will be looked
after with the same minuteness and at
tended with the same success as has been
the case under the very admirable ad
ministration of Supt. Myers.
PREACHED ON HAPPY' HOMES.
Rev. Arthur J. Smith's Sermon at the
First Presbyterian.
"Happy Homes" was the subject last
night of the last sermon in the series to
young women by Rev. Arthur J. Smith,
pastor of the First Presbyterian ChuTtfi.
There are families, said Rev. Mr. Smith,
in Asia and Africa, Eutope and America,
and in the islands of the sea, whose
dwelling places are no more fo them than
the lairs of the beasts of the forest. In
warm climates the people livp out of doors
so much that the home is almost un
known. It is only a shelter in which they
sleep at night. Even in Northern climates
this may be true. Something more is
needed to make a home besides bricks and
m6rtar, clapboards and shingles. It may
be a beautiful dwelling, with expensive
furnishing* nnd it may contain some of the
finest works of art, but still not be a home.
It may shelter a father and mother; chil
dren may be there, and yet it is not a
home; it is only a house.
In Europe It is said there is no word for
home in all the languages, the only word
they have is house or dwelling. It is in
ihe English language we find the word.
A real home has an indescribable atmos
phere about it that make* the inmates
supremely happy and the onlooker think
of heaven.
A happy home is not an accident, nor
yet the result of circumstances. A gen
uine home is the abode of love. Love is
unselfish, does not want everything Its
own way atffl all to itself. Love Is pa
tient, long suffering. Love is courteous
polite. Love keeps up the same charming
manners that were shown during court
ship. Love confides trusts. There are no
misunderstandings long endured by love.
Love is sympathetic. In sickness U
nurses, in trouble it cleaves, arid in weak
ness it strengthens. It is wonderful ho*
much strength little woman has at
times. Love works hard. Rusk in tells us
that the meaning of wife is weaver.
The true wife is, indeed, a weaver in the
home. Love turns a crust of bread into a
banquet and by it a hut becomes a Wal
dorf-Astoria. Five hundred dollars a
year with love makes an infinitely happier
home than $5,000 without love.
Air. Smith said in closing that if the
home was to be supremely happy it m ist
have God within its gates. He must be
loved and worshiped unfeignefiy. “Except
the Lord build the house they labor in
vain that build it.”
It is likely that later in the season-Mr.
Smith will preach to yong men* a series
of sermons of a like character to the ones
just ended.
Mr. Smith announced that during July
there will be union services by the con
gregation of the First Presbyterian Church
and Wesley Monumental. The services
will be held alternately at Wesley and the
First Presbyterian churches beginning at
Wesley, when Mr. Smith will preach,
while those held at the First church w ill
be conducted by Rev. Ed F. Cook.
CITY IIIIEYITIES.
Mr. John R. Everett requests the Morn
ing N ws to say that young Preston Ev
erett will not part in the entertain
ment at Barbee &'Bandy’s, at Isle of
Hope, to-morrow night, as announced.
Sunday With the Police.
The police did a rushing business yes
terday for a Sunday, bringing in fifteen
prisoners before midnight, with the out
look for several more before morning.
The greater number of charges on whien
the arrests were made were, however, of
a minor character.

The Scriptures in Scotch.
From the London Leader.
Interviewed on behalf of the Leader, Mr.
Gardner said his Testament in braid
Scotch—or braid Scots, as the pedant has
it—which is still only In MS., would not
be in the Glasgow or Paisley Scotch of
the present day, but would more resem
ble Burns. It would not be archaic, but
neither would It be corrupt. “Here, for
Instance, is the Lord's Prayer," said Mr.
Gardner:
“Faither o' us a', bidin Abodn! Thy
name be holle! Lat Thy reign begin! Lat
Thy wull be dune, baith in Yirth and
Heaven! Gie us Ilka day oor needfu, feud
ing. And forgie us a' oor 111-deeds, as
we enn forgie thae wha did us ill: And
lat us no be slftlt; but save us free the
111-Ane’ For the croon is Thine aln, and
the micht and the glorie, for evir and evir,
Amen !’*
