8 FOR MURDER AND ABDUCTION. INTERESTING CRIMINAL TRIAI/S IN SUPERIOR COI’RT THIS WEEK. John J. Rend, Slffnora Mitchell anil Henry Tyndall Will lie Placed on Trial for Mnrdcr, While William Cashwrll, Alia* Kins: Sabro, Mu*t Answer for the Attempted Abduc tion of lonng Prcslon Everett. 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 MR*. BA BETTE HlltSiTl. Her Fnneral Will Take Place at ditto O't lock This Afternoon.

Yesterday and the night before were marked by the unusually heavy rainfall, the amount for the twenty-four hours ending at 8 o'clock last night being 1.85 inches. The greater part of this fell dur ing the early morning hours, the fall be tween 2 and 3 o’clock being po heavy am to make those who saw it believe it to be a cloudburst. Just whet damage has been done to the farms it was not possible to learn, but there was undoubtedly pome, for the downpour was not confined to this imme diate vicinity, but extended a considerable distance out Into the country. During the heaviest part of the Rainfall in the morning, and for some time after ward many of the streets were impassa ble, the sewers bring unable to carry of? the unusual volume as fast it came down, so that the water In many cases ex tended in almost unbroken sheets for blocks.

To-morrow, it is predicted, will be fair. STARTED IN CLOTHING STORE, Yesterday Morning** Fire Regan in Middle off lowed Room. An examination made by representatives of the companies with which the insur ance on the property damaged by the fire of early yesterday morning 4s placed, makes it appear that the flames started In the second-hand clothing store of I.asky & Stnlberg, father than in the little restaurant of Titus Tison, as was at first tho\rght to he tho case. In the cursory inspection of the prem ises that was made just after the fire had been controlled, in the early hours of yesterday morning, while the smoke was still in the rooms ond in everybody’s eyes, It escaped notice that nothing in the rooms occupied by the restaurant had been burned, and that there nil the dam age done had been by smoke and wa ter. When a closer inspection was made of the premises on yesterday. It developed that the flames had originated in the very center of the clothing store, which wa£, presumably, closed and locked at the time, and had spread from that point. Some of the tables used to dis play the wares and a considerable pro portion of the stock were either destroy ed or damaged by fire. No reasonable explanation of the manner in which the fire cou!d have started, accidentally, at this point, has been advanced. The store is located on the northeast corner of Bryan end Jefferson streets. 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 ment will be in the Cathedral Cemetery.

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.

Inquiries from the train dispatchers of the various systems entering the city, how ever, met with the invariable response that there had been no washouts, that traffic has not been in any way impeded and that the trains are moving with their accustomed smoothness and on schedule lime. There may be small obstructions to traffic at points on some of the lines situ ated in divisions that do not report di rectly to Savannah, but the train dis patchers stated that had there been wash outs of any consequence, at any point, they would have been apprised of the fact. They had had no such reports.

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. LfST OF AGHHTLTIRAL CLUB*. In Wanted by Secretary of State Agrlculturnl Society. Secretary Martin V.

Myers' Saeces*or In the Express Company, J. B. Horkaday of Washington. Superintendent C. L. Myers of this di vision of the Southern Express Company, whose resignation from the company's service was announced in the Morning News several days ago, returned to the city from Florida on yesterday. Superintendent Myers gave to a Morn ing News reporter personal confirmation of the announcement that he had resign ed. stating that his resignation had al ready been filed with the company, and that it would take effect on July 1. After that date he will assume the duties of the office to which he has appointed, that of general superintendent of ihe Pen insular and Occidental Steamship Com pany. This is the name under which the allied Plant and Flagler steamship properties wifi be operated. Mr. Myers’ headquar ters will be in Jacksonville, from which point he will direct the operation of the new company after the date at which his resignation from the service of the South ern Express Company is to take effect. The Peninsular und Occidental Steam ship Company will operate a fleet of eight vessels. The steamships will carry freight and passengers between Tampa. ' Key West and Havana. Miami, Key West and Havana and Miami and Nas sau. The new company will practically control the carrying trade between Flor ida and points in the West Indies, the division in the past having been between the Plant and Flagler interests, which have now been consolidated. 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. ’’ltfl.y.
