10 THE PLAN UNSATISFACTORY. fcO PROGRESS MADE TOWARDS RR BUILDING THE ACADEMY. (Conference Between Trnloo nnd Board of Education ( ommlttfc* .XVfth Un*atifaotory Renulti—Copt. Henry Bluu Talk* Freely an to the flituation—The Committee of the jyon r<l of Educuliou Given no Op •**ortnnlty to i’us* Ipon the Plan* The One Submitted Thoroahly EnantUfaetory nnd Un*ijtlitly From on Architectural Standpoint—Com mittee Will Heport to n Called 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.

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.” PI Milt 11, OP MISS STROPS.

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 (Continued on Sixth Paged DR AINS BEING DI G Ol T. 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. OFFICERS OF LAW TO X CADETS. Gustavos Robertson Elected Captain of the Young Soldiers.

Mate of a Ship Wedded a Y'oaajr Woman of Tht* City and After a Voyage Aronnd the World l)f- Hi-rted Her on the l’aclfle Coaat. Her Friend* Brought Her Home. The llnultond After Having Killed a Man, It I* Nold, Followed Her to Savannah—He 1* Now Awaiting the Arrival of Oregon Officer* to Take Him to Portland. It leaked out yesterday that there is confined in the police station house a man wanted in Portland, Ore., for mur der, around whose life for the last two years is woven a strange story of ro mance. Love and cruel Indifference, vice and crime make up the tale. 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.
