Meeting of the Board.
The prospect of getting anew building
on the. siie of the old Chatham Academy
In time for any use during the next school
year appears to be more remote than
ever. The committee of the Chatham
Academy trustees, to which was entrust
ed th selection of u plan and providing
for the erection of anew building, nnd
Aha committee of the Board of Education,
mhich was appointed to represent the in
terests of that body, had another meeting
yesterday afternoon, but without reaching
any definite conclusion. In fact, judging
from the expressions of Some of the gen
tlemen who were present at the confer
ences, there is less likelihood than ever
of an agreement between the two todies.
At the conference were Capt. H. C.
Cunningham. Mr. George C. Freeman and
Bit. W. L. Clay, of the academy trustees,
and Col. J. H. Estill, Mr. B. A. Denmark
and Capt. Henry Blun of the Board of Ed
ucation. Superintendent Ashmore was
also present. The conference, while pleas
ant. was unsatisfactory as to results. The
trustees' committee submitted a plan.
•Which it has agreed upon, entitled, “Plan
JNo. 8” of a series submitted by Mr. Urban
and offered it for the approval of the
committee of the Hoard ijf Education.
JThe latter did not regard it with favor,
and. in fact, differed so totally in their
ideas concerning the matter, from the
trustees’ committee, that it was soon
been that there was no hope of an agree
ment. The members of the Board of
■Education accordingly withdrew and held
a short conference among themselves, at
which they decided to submit a report at
an early date at a called meeting of the
board.
Capt. Blun was seen after the meeting
and consented to discuss the matter with
•he understanding that whatever wits sakl
by him should be reported as coming from
him personally and not as .speaking for
the committee of which he is a member.
“I do not doubt that the trustees are
acting as they believe to be betst.” he said,
“and that they are due the appreciation
of the public for the services which they
have rendered. At the game time 1 must
jsay that I am unable to understand their
toouree in the matter. They do not seem
tto take Into consideration that the Board
f Education has, at least, an equal inter
est in the kind and character of the build
ing to be erected for the uses of the
achoola. It seems strange to me that our
committee has never been invited to con
sult the architects or to take under con
sideration the various plans submitted.
.The committee wa6 appointed probably j
four months ago and ail we hove been
tailed upon to do at the conferences w hich
have been held was to consider plans al
ready selected by the trustees' committee
end as our ideas differed so widely as to
the character of building which should be
(greeted nothing has been accomplished."
“As to the plan submitted by the trus
tees this afternoon," said Cape. Blun,
p, I consider it to bo so utterly unsatis
factory as to be entirely out of the ques
tion. The plan, we were informed, was
eubmittod by Mr. Urban, in aceordaance
with instructions from the trustees. It
Is for a plain, throe-story building in the
ahape of a cross, the two sections cross
ing at right angles and the center sec
tion running back to a depth of about 120
feet. The ground plah reminded me ex
actly of two poker Micks crossed at right
angles. The plan provides for twenty
four rooms, eight on each floor. The in
terior arrangement does very well, the
rooms being large and well ventilated,
with a large well in, the center for stair
ways, lights and ventilation. It is the ex
terior of the building to which I object.
It is absolutely plain, with no architec
tural beauty and no pretense to anything
ct the kind that I could discover.
“It should be born* in mind.” said Capt.
dun, “that the building which it is now
proposed to erect will doubtbs In-1 for
generations. The burned building l isted
nearly a hundred years and the next otic
Will doubtless last fully as long. The
location is the most prominent one and
the most desirable iti the whole city, and
will become more prominent as the
city increases in size. This being the
case, we should have some regard for
public taste. The new building should
toe one whick a should be attractive from
an architectural point of view, as well as
one suited for the purposes for which it
Is intended. It would be a great mistake
to place a building there which would
toe an eyesore and a discredit to the city
and the public school system. It will be
a source of great regret to our people
In years to come should the main school
touilding of the city, situated in the most
central location, present a bare and un
attractive appearar.ee.
. “I understand and appreciate the mo
tive* of the trustees.” said Capt. Blun
■•’The desire on their part to avoid debt
find to husband their resources is a com
mendable one. but it is not right to neg
lect all ideas of beauty for the sake of
raving a few thousand dollar? Their
fear of incurring a large debt which tin \
would be unable to meet is a groundless
one. Public sentiment in favor of a
handsome building is so strong that I be
lieve we could go before the next grand
Jury and secure an appropriation of $20.-
000 for this work. The academy Is sim
ply a part of the public school property
of the people of Savannah. Any debt
Incurred on its account would be met Just
the same as if incurred on account of
ony other public school building. Be
sides, it should be borne in mind that the
Board of Education has agreed to pay
on annual rental of $3,000 so long as any
debt remains unon the building, for the
purpose of enabling the trustees to erect
a. building which shall be desirable in
every respect. On this account, if for
no other, it seems to me that the views
of the members of the Board of Edtjca
tlon in regard to the new building, are
entitled to very considerable weight."
Capt. Blur said that a number of plans
for the academy building had been sub
mitted by architects, which he thought
far superior to the one adopted by the
trustees' committee, but the method of
the Utter in first adopting a plan and
then submitting■ It for the approval of
the committee of the Board of Education
gave the latter no option but to accept or
reject.

MAY CONTI ME TYREE POSTOFFICE
Me. JfamcM AV. Noble En domed an
l'OMt nifiMer by Col. Lester.
The town of Tybee has a chance of re
taining its postoffloe, which was so sud
denly taken away from It a short time
ago. Congressman Lester received a let
ter yesterday from the acting fourth as
sistant postmaster general, acknowledg
ing receipt of a letterr from the former
advising against doing away with the Ty
bee postoftice. The letter states that the
pos:master at Tybee had been unsatis
factory to the department and that in
the absence nf a candidate for the position
the office had been discontinued.
"If a suitable party for appointment as
postmaster is suggested before the order
'discontinuing .the office goes into effect
the advisability of rescinding the same w ft
be considered." says the letter, which is
signed by M. O. Chance, acting foruth
assistant postmaster general.
Col. Lester communicated the contents
of the letter to Mayor Butler of Tybee
and as the people of Tybee are decidedly
a;>t>osed to dispensing with the postoffice
steps were at once taken to
the conditions named. At the suggestion
of Mayor Butler Mr. James W. Noble,
manager of the Tybee waterworks, made
application for the postmastership and
the application was forwarded to Wash
ington by Col. lister with his endorse
ment. It is believed that the application,
with Col. listers recommendation for
the. continuance of the postoffioc*, will be
a< ted upon favorably by the department
and that Tybee’s residents will continue
to receive theiir mail there an usual.
TOUCHED NINETY DEGREES.
Mereary Readied tlie Top Notch for
tlie Season Yesterday.
For the first time this year mercury
reached 90 degrees yesterday. A year ago
it had Touched the 90 degree mark before
the middle of May. In spite of its being
a hot day, the mean temperature yester
day was exactly the normal, 82 degrees
Even now with but four days of the
month to come, June is 40 degrees be
hind in temperature. It will have to hus
tle to get even.
The heavy rains of the last two days
have brought up the rainfall to nearly a
fourth of an inch above the average for
June up lo the present date. The 1.86
inches of Sunday, and the one-third of an
inch yesterday makes the rainfall for the
last two days something over 2 inches. It
is hardly probable with the month so near
iis end that either the temperature or
rainfall will he far from the average.
There was considerable inquiry yester
day as to the effect of the rains on the
Savannah river. The weather bureau re
ports showed that at 8 o'clock In the
morning the hight of the river at Augusta
was 28 feet and 2 Indus, a rise of 18 feet
2 Inches In twenty-four hours.
CAPT. HU Y ON THE TICKET.
Conn try Financially. Commercially
and Politically All night. He Says*.
Capt. Henry Blun returned yesterday
from the North after a week s absence.
He was accompanied by Mrs. Blun who
had been visiting their daughter. Mrs.
Miner, in New York. Capi. Blun said
when seen yesterday, that he did not go
to Philadelphia, and in fket, knew no
more about the political situation than
h“ had seen in the newspapers.
"McKinley and Roosevelt make a strong
ticket, and a winning one, I think," he
said. "Here in Savannah I think the bus-
Intss men are all pretty much on the same
line with me. Republicans at heart in na
tional politics, and Democrats In local
politics."
"Financially and commercially, the
country seems to be all right," said Capt.
Blun. “Prices are settling down, and it
is well for the business of the country
that this is so. All building materials,
iron in particular, have been too high,
and more reasonable prices in these lines
will be a great help to building.”

THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, JUNE 26, 1900.
TYNDALLS NECK WAS SAVED.
JURY RECOMMENDED IMPRISON
MENT FOR REST OF HIS LIFE.
The Mnrderer of "William Brown
Found Guilty, but the leniency of
the .lory linn Saved Him From the
liallon* Sentence Immediately
Panned by Judge Fa 111 gnn t. In Ac
cordance With the X erdief— ITesti
mony for the Slnte Made the ('rime
a Deliberate A nnanni nut ion--The
Defendants Statement Made Wil
liam*. With i Flat Iron, the Ar
grennor.
“We, the Jury, find the defendant guilty,
and recommend that he be punished by
imprisonment in the penitentiary for life.”
This was the verdict returned by the*jury
in the rase of Hendy Tyndall, tried in
the Superior Court yesterday for the mur
der of William Brown.
The verdict was brought in shortly be
fore 8 o’clock last night, about two hours
after it had retired. Judge. Falligant im
mediately passed sentence in accordance
with the verdict, directing that Tyndall
be confined in the penitentiary for the
term of his natural life. The prisoner re
ceived the sentence of the court with the
same perfectly impassive demeanor which
he had exhibited during the entire course
of his trial.
The case was conducted by Solicitor
General Osborne for the prosecution and
by Messrs. W. M. Heyward end T. L.
Hill for the defense. Three witnesses were
placed on the stand by the state during
the morning session of the court, James
Williams, Fred Garner and Viola Sauls.
The last named wimess was the most in
teresting and important, as she was the
only one present, save the murderer end
his victim, when the assault uj>on 'Brown
was committed. The others told stories
that illustrated Tyndall’s criminal state of
mind and the murderous purpose that pos
sessed him when he entered the room oc
cupied by Brown and the woman.
Williams said that he met Tyndall in
Coopershop June shortly before the com
mission of the homicide. Tyndall then
seemed to be angered nnd annoyed and
Williams asked him his destination ana
purpose. Tyndall answered that ho was
going to ihe room of the woman, Viola
Sauls, adding that he intended to kill any
man he found there and using in the
threat a vile epithet, it appeared from the
testimony of this witness and others that
Tyndall had been living with the woman,
but that they had separated ond were
living apart. Tyndall still seemed to
think, however, that he had a right to con
trol her actions nnd his own actions in
dicated that he viewed the bestowal of
her affections upon anyone else with ex
treme disfavor.
Then Tyndall went on to the house of
the woman and knocked ai the door. She
refused him permission to enter, and his
threats and entreaties provoke! only a
still more positive denial. She did not
want him in the house and would not al
low' him to enter. Then Tyndall went
around to the rear of ihe house, which
was occupied by an old negro man, Fred
Garner.
Garner testified that Tyndall entered hi
room from the rear door. He held a walk
ing cane in his hand, that he laid aside
as he entered the room.
At the same time he. drew a knife from
the pocket of his trousers and shif ed it
to a side pocket of his coat, so that it
w r ould he in r ad.v reach of
man did not seem to Garner to be greatly
*xcited, and walked into the room with
the ca!m determination of one who had
a purpose plainly in view' and meant to
carry it through. Tyndall went into th
front room occupied by th? woman.
From this point the story is known only
to Tyndall and to Viola Sauls. The wo
man testified that when Tyndall entered
her room he held an open knife in his
hand nnd that his first remark was a
question addressed to Brown, asking him
what he meant by being In that room.
Brown attempted some explanation, but
while he was making it. the woman
locked In Tyndall’s eyes, knew that trou
ble was brewing and that her erstwhile
lover was on murder bent, and started
to get out of the house. Brown, too.
seemed to be aware of the danger that
impended,* for without making a single
remonstrance, according to her story, he
started to follow the woman.
As he reached the door. Tyndall was
upon him. cutting and sloshing with his
knife. Before Brown could struggle out
of the grasp of the infuriated man who
had attacked him, several ugly wounds
had been inflicted, but Tyndall’s murder
ous rag* was not appeased.
"Let me talk to you, only let me talk
to you." gasped Brown, with the hood
pouring and spurting from his wounds.
The only answer was the hideous cut
and thrust of the knife that Tyndall was
wielding with such deadly effect. With a
last effort of convulsive energy. Brown
tore himself loose from Tyndall's grasp
and staggered to the doorway, clutching
the posts to keep himself on his feet. His
drawn face, the difficulty witli which he
breathed, tile raVldly ebbing tide of blood
ail tostitiod that die was wounded to the
death, but his plight aroused no mercy
In Tyndall's hardened heart.
Stepping up to his desperately wounded
victim, Tyndall deliberately kicked him
into tiie street. Saiistied that his work
had. been well-done, he bestowed not so
much ns a passing glance upon the pros
trate form of Brown, but with his hand
kerchief calmly wiped the blood from the
blade of his knife and returned it to his
pocket. "If I hail a good knife," he said,
"I would have got them both."
With the introduction of this evidence
(he state closed and a recess was taken
until 4 o'clock in the afternoon. At that
hour the- statement of the defendant was
made, no other evidence being introduced
on his behalf.
Tyndall's story was to the effect that he
and Viola Sauls had been living together
without Interruption up to the day of the
homjelde; that he had rented the rooms
in which they resided and paid the rent
and that it was his home as much as that
of the woman. He had entered it without
being aware that a man was in the room
and when he saw Brown, asked him by
what right he was there. At this ques
tion, said Tyndall, Brown became angry
and picking up a flat-iron from the foot
of the bed starter! towards him with it.
Brown, said Tyndall, had struck at him
with the flat Iron, but he had succeeded
in escaping the blow and drawn his knife.
He clinched with hts aggressor and the
fight swayed backwards and forwards,
he using hi* knife in a frenzied attempt
to save his own life. Tyndall amplified
this story with many details, but the es
sential fact of hts defense was Brown's
alleged attempt .to brain him with a fiat
iron.
The state Introduced tn rebuttal both
Fred Gnrner and Viola Sauls. The ev
idence of the latter entirely negatived thr
defendant's statement a* to the Hat iron
the witness swearing that she had never
had such an article nbout the house, and
that certainly there was none in the room
when Brown was assaulted. She swore,
on the contrary, that the ussault made
upon Brown by Tyndall had been entirely
unprovoked, and that Instead of seeking
trouble Brown was attempting to avoid
and to get out of Tyndall's murderous
reach when the homicide was commit
ted.
The fact that the defense introduced no
evidence ether than the prisoner's state
ment entitled It to the opening and con
clus.on of the argum- nt. The cqiontng
argument to the Jury was made by Mr
Thomas L Hill. Solicitor General Osborne
following fer the state, and Sir \V. M
Heyward concluding for defense. "1

Growth of Weed* and Gras* Cot
Away by Connly Convict*.
The county force* of convicts are now
at work, and have been for the last two
or three weeks, in clearing the county
drains and ditches of the growth of
grass and weeds that has accumulated
since they were last cleared.
A member of the Drainage Committee
of the Board of County' Commissioners
said yesterday that the work is progress
ing favorably, although the conditions re
cently have not been of the best. The
heavy rains have filled most of the
drains to the very brim with w’ater, and
the work of clearing out the grass and
weeds and removing the occasional sand
bars that have arisen since the last gen
eral cleaning has been carried on under
difficulties.
The Vale Royal canal, west of the city,
has already been cleared. The Har
mon canal, about five miles out on the
White Bluff road, has also been put in
good shape nnd the force of convicts that
has been engaged in doing this work has
been moved to a point on Dale avenue,
from which the force will give attention
to the drains close to the southern boun
daries of the city.
Work on the Dunbee canal will begin
shortly. This is one of the most import
ant of the county drains and was given
a thorough overhauling last spring. While
It is now In fairly good shape, it will be
placed in better condition before the
summer cleaning process has been com-'
pleted. The laterals to the larger drains
will also be looked after.
The member of the Drainage Commit
tee stated that there had been no per
ceptible damage to the drainage system
by the recent rains, other than to fill
them with water, and thus in some de
gree interfere with the purpose they are
intended to serve. With the abatement
of the -rains the water will disappear,
and with the overhauling the drains will
receive, it is expected they will all be in
thoroughly good condition during the
summer season, when, of course, an effi
cient system of drainage ia most essen
tial to the health of the. community.
MISS LAKiHRAN’S DIAMONDS.
Court Overruled Motion for New
Trial in a Famous Cate.
Judge Norwood rendered a decision yes
terday', overruling the motion for a new
trial made by the defendants in the case
of Mary Laughran against Watson A
Bowers. Miss Laughran recovered Judg
ment against the proprietors of the De
Soto for the value of a number of pieces
of jewelry stolen from her while she was
a guest of the hotel.
The room that she occupied at the De
Soto was broken open and robbed on
March 26, 1893. Her trunk was also
broken open and a morocco bag contain
ing her jewels was stolen. The jewels
consisted of a pair of diamond bracelets,
of the value of $1,600; a crescent and star
pendant, of the value of $650; a pair of
solitaire diamond earrings, worth $350; a
cluster pin, containing seven stones, and
valued at $175; a marquise ring of sap
phire and diamonds, worth $150; a ring
of the value of $150; a second of the value
of $130; a third of the value of S6O, and a
fourth of the value of SSO. the whole be
ing worth, according to the undisputed
testimony of the plaintiff. $3,315,
The jury that tried the case in 1896 gave
a verdict for the plaintiff for (he full
amount. The case was won upon the
ontention that the proprietors of the De
Soto had not acted up to the required de
gree of diligence in caring for the valua
bles of a guest under an innkeeper’s
roof. The motion for anew trial has
•been pending for many months; it was
argued some time ago and has just been
overruled by the court. The case will be
arried to the Supreme Court of the state.
DIRECTED GRIFFIN’S RELEASE.
Judge Norwood Discharged Him on
Hi* Own Rpoosnlinnee.
Evidence and argument were heard by
Judge Norwood in the City Court yester
day in the case of Mit Morrison against
A. S. Griffin, the special feature consid
ered being the application of the defend
ant to be released on his oWn recogniz
ance, instead of being required to give
bond or go to jail.
The woman had Instituted an action of
bail in trover against the defendant for
the recovery of some furniture that had
been stored with him by her sister, Sue.
After the departure of the women on a
summer vacation their creditors had lev
ied on the furniture and sold most of it
o satisfy the judgments obtained against
the sisters. On their return Mit insti
tuted the action of bail In trover against
Griffin, fixing the* value of the furniture
at s_‘.ooo and its rental at ssw. As he
could not produce (he furniture he would
have been required, under the law, either
to give a $5,000 bond or go to Jail. He
was not able to give the bond.
Upon application made by his attorney.
Mr. W. F. Siater, Judge Norwood passed
an order requiring the plaintiff in the case
to show cause why the defendant should
not be liberate 1. At the hearing the evi
dence demonstrated ihe truth of the state
of facts outlined above, though the wo
men denied some portion of the story.
Judge Falligant directed the release of
the defendant, after requiring him to turn
over to the plaintiff that portion of the
furniture still remaining in his custody.
\HitV HEARING IV NEW YOIIK.
>tr. Erw in Renewing Efforts to Bring
Greene and Gaynora Hack.
United Slates District Attorney Erwin
passed through the city yesterday, leav
ing on the City of Augusta for New
York, where he goes to renew the efforts
of the government to have Greene and
the Gaynors removed to Savannah for
trial. It Is understood that a hearing will
is- had before Commissioner Shields, be
ginning on Friday.
In this hearing it will lie the effort of
the district attorney to produce the evi
dence of probable cause of the defendants'
guilt that Judge Brown said was lacking
in the last examination, and that the in
dictment was not sufficient to establish.
Chief Clerk J. W. O. Sterly. of the office
of the engineer officer in charge of this
district, accompanied Mr. Erwin to New
York. ThJ- list of witnesses will probably
be increased before the hearing has pro
gressed very far.

Eighteen months ago there came to Sa
vannah a stranger who represented him
self as the mate of a sailing vessel, off
on a holiday. He was of good appearance
and pleasing address and he succeeded in
making his w*ay into the good graces of
a young woman, belonging to a family'
quite well known in this city. In course
of time there was a wedding and the sailor
man and his bride left for Baltimore,
there to take ship on the vessel, of which
he was an officer, for the Orient.
The days and months came and went.
The Savannah girl and her husband were
heard of in foreign seas, letters with
strange postmarks and bearing stamps of
half-barbarous countries reaching her
family here. Around the Southern coast
of Africa, up through Mozambique
channel, to Manila, to Honolulu and
thence to Portland, the sailing vessel male
its adventurous way.
In that city ihe husband got himself into
many scrapes. Facts are. but little known,
but it appears that in Portland the hus
band s ill-conduct brought him into dis
grace and trouble, and that the loss of his
position was the least of the burdens that
he had to bear. The wife was ill and very
soon was expected to become a mother.
In this state of affairs a man was killed,
suspicion pointed to the husband and he
disappeared. He left with the minions of
the law on his track and his wife critical
ly ill and dependant upon the kindness of
strangers.
Her relatives in Savannah were notified
of her dis(ress and one of them went to
Portland and brought her back to Sa
vannah. For a time all went well, but
some weeks ago the husband returned to
this section, and at once began to an
noy his wife and her family. He is known
to be of an ugly disposition and his at
titude was a source of constant annoy
ance and alarm to those who were her
protectors, as well as to herself.
In this state of affairs the police tvere
notified, and it Is to be presumed from
subsequent happenings, correspondence
w'ith the authorities in Portland was be
gun. At any* rate, the man was ar
rested and taken to the station house,
where he has since been confined.
The police, probably for reasons of their
own, deny any knowledge of the arrest
or of the man’s history. He has been
seen at the station house, howeveer, and
there is every reason to believe that he is
held on the charge of murder. It is stat
ed that officers from Portland will leave
that city to-day, armed with requisition
papers, to take him back to stand trial
for the crime with which he is charged.
VETERANS’ TRIP TO WAYCROSS/
Cadet* May Escort the Delegate*
From Suvannnli Camp*.
The Confederate Veterans’ Association
will meet to-night to appoint delegates to
the reunion of the South Georgia Brigade
at Waycross July 4. The camp is entitled
to ten delegates and will also appoint ten
alternates. This by' no means represents
the number of veterans who will attend
ihe reunion from Savannah, for besides
the delegates and alternates from Mc-
Law’s Company, a large number of vet
erans will go from both camps and from
the Sons of Veterans.
The number is expected to be large, and
would have been larger h id a sufficiently
low rate been granted by the railroads.
There is some likelihood of a military es
cort to the veterans by the Savannah
Cadets, Cos. E of the First Regiment.
The matter was to have been
brought up af a company meet
ing last night, tat owing to the rain
there was not a sufficiently large attend
ance to decide whether the company will
go. A committee composed of the non
commissioned officers, was appointed to
confer with the members and see if a full
turn out t'an be assured. If forty mem
bers decide to go, an escort will be ten
dered the veterans. The trip will' be a
short one. A special train will leave Sa
vannah In the morning returning at
night.
The sponsors and maids of honor for the
brigade and for the Savannah camps will
be announced in a day or two. Gen. Mc-
Glashan commanding the brigade, paid a
fine compliment to the Oglethorpe Light
Infantry and the Blues yesterday in a
general order, praising tilt it- conduct dur
ing the Louisville reunion. The order
reads:
Headquarters Southern Brigade, Geor
gia Division, United Confederate Veter
ans. Savannah, Ga„ June 25, I9Xl.—Gen
eral Order 1: The commanding officer
takes pleasure in recording his apprecia
tion of fhe services rendered the South
Georgia Brigade by the officers and men
of the Oglethorpe Light Infantry and
the Republican Blues of Savannah, as es
•eors of the delegations of the brigade to
Louisville, Ky.
Their fine military hearing, superb dis
cipline and gentlemanly behavior during
the trip Impressed us ail with a high idea
of their value as true soldiers of the
South and reflected credit on their slate
and city, adding new luster to their glori
ous past history. May their record ever
brighten and their good fortune ever con
tinue. P. s. MacGlashan.
