When He Hail Barked to Where

Alone and Fainted After Reaching
Faintly On First Floor.
A negro burglar at the home of Mr.
John H. Lynah, No. 110 Park avenue,
east, Monday night, drew a pistol upon
Miss Eloise Lynah, while she was
alone in her room on the second floor
with the rest of the members of the
family down stairs, and told her he
would blow her brains out if she
screamed, or called for help.
Miss Lynah remained quiet as com
manded, and the burglar, after plan
ning a means of escape, gave her per
mission to go down stairs.
She hurried to the rest of the family
on the first floor and there fainted, as
she was telling of the burglar.
Cadies Held Mr. Lynah.
Mr. Lynah was at home at the time
and started to go upstairs as soon as
his daughter told him of the burglar,
but the ladies who were present
grabbed him and prevented him from
doing so for several minutes. During
this delay the burglar made his escape
without being seen, and just how he
left the house is still something of a
mystery.
The young lady for a time required
the attention of the family. She was
prostrated by the experience and Dr.
T. P. Waring had to be summoned.
Yesterday she had completely recov
ered. however, and was able to be out,
though still rather nervous.
Burglar in the Door.
It was early In the night that the
burglar entered the house. Mr. Lynah
was up stairs until only a few min
utes before his daughter went to her
room to study, and he had heard no
one in the house. Mr. Lynah rejoined
his family down stairs, however, before
Miss Lynah went to her room.
As soon as she entered she noticed
that her watch, which had been left
on the. table, had been moved. She
began looking about the room and then
disoovered the wardrobe door open,
t'pon investigating she found all her
clothes had been taken out. Just as
she made the discovery, she turned to
go down stairs and Inquire about the
matter, and came face to face with
a negro man standing in the doorway.
Burglar Pointed Pistol.
"If you scream, I will blow your
brains out,” said the negro, leveling
a revolver at the young lady.
Miss Lynah had presence of mind
enough to remain quiet and await de
velopments. During the few minutes
that intervened she was able to get
a good look at the negro, and after
wards furnished the police with his
description. The negro backed down
the hall, told her she might go and
entered one of the front rooms. Later,
when an Investigation was made up
stairs, no trace of him could be found.
Clothes on Shed.
Detective Bostick was sent for and
a thorough investigation was made,
but the manner In which the negro had
escaped could not be solved. The only
way apparently possible for him to
have left the front room, without be
ing seen, was down a gutter at the
front of the house.
At the base of the gutter, however,
was a number of flowers In pots, and
not one of these was broken. The
ground had been sprinkled late In the
afternoon and tracks would have been
left If he had gone that way.
Careful search was made everywhere
and the clothes that had been taken
from the wardrobe were found tied in
a bundle on a shed adjoining the young
lady's room. *

WHY TAMMANY HALL
IS GROWING WEAKER.
Well Known Hotel Mnn Tells ot
Personal Kxperlenees.
Mr. T. K. Mclver, who for years has
been in the office of the De Soto Ho
tel ns chief clerk, haS returned and as
sumed his old position.
During (he last eighteen months Mr.
Mclver has been traveling in the in
terest of an electricai manufacturing
concern.
Discussing the surprising turn of af
fairs in the election in New York, Mr.
Mclver, who has spent much of his
time there in the hotel business said:
“I should not wonder that Tammany
is losing much of its strength through
the practices which its agents are al
lowed to carry on right under its nose.
“Last year T had half interest In a
hotel in New York. We had been run
ning but two or three weeks when an
inspector of boilers visited our place
and ordered that the fires be drawn
from the boilers so he could make an
inspection.
“I was astounded, as the boilers were
inspected before we opened the hotel
and were in perfect condition. I de
murred at first, but the inspector was
obdurate. It meant that we would have
to shut down the hotel until the in
spection could be made, entailing a
great loss to us.
“I did not know -what to do until
our engineer came to me and asked me
to give him $lO that he could settle
the matter all right for that amount.
I gave him the $lO and in a short time
the inspector came by the office and
told me it was all right; the boilers
were apparently in much better shape
than he had at first supposed. He was
a Tammany appointee.
“Not over two weeks later an eleva
tor inspector came into tHe office and
said he wanted to examine the eleva
tors. Our engineer was called to ac
company him on the inspection. They
went up and down the shaft, and when
he returned to the office, he said anew
cable would have to be put in the ele
vator. He said there were parts of
it badly worn. I again demurred,
stating that the cables were practical
ly new.
“I called the engineer aside and ask
ed if he thought he could settle this
matter as he did the other. He re
plied that lie could, and I gave hitn
the $lO. After he had had a short con
ference with the Inspector the latter
came bv the office and said: ‘Let’s
take another look at those cables.’
They did so and the inspector returned
to the office and told me they were all
right, that what he had at first thought
was a. broken place In the cable was
merely the accumulation of grease and
lint. He was a Tammany appointee.”
BUSINESSMEN THOUGHT
ROOSEVELT A WINNER.
Believed Markets Had Already Dis
counted the Event.
Interest on the Bay in regard to
the election was very pronounced, but
it took the form of curiosity as to ma
jorities and pluralities rather than as
to the ultimate outcome. It was gen
erally believed Roosevelt would be
elected, though there were not wanting
a few persons who up to the time the
bulletins began to be posted believed
Parker had a chance.
Of the election in the individual
states that in New York, of course,
excited the most interest and here
opinion was divided. The majority, it
is true, expressed a belief that it
would give Roosevelt a large major
ity, but there were still many who
believed Parker would carry the state.
Practically no one questioned that
Herrick would be made Governor.
Interest in the election was purely
personal, for persons best posted on
market and trade conditions are of
the opinion that Roosevelt's election
was confidently expected in the great
financial centers, and that It had been
already discounted in the dealings on
the various exchanges.
RESULT OF eLIcTION
TOOK AWAY INTEREST.
So apparent was it from the very
early returns that the Republicans had
swept the field that very few people
turned out to watch bulletin boards
and listen to how each state went.
The fast counting machines used in
New York made it apparent early that
the Republicans had swept the state,
and with the loss of New York there
was no chance for Parker to win.
Results were taken at a dozen differ
ent places in the city, perhaps the
largest crowd who actually saw’ the
bulletins being at the carnival grounds.
LEVY WAS REMANDED
FOR STEALING RING.
Ike, alias Bob Levy, was remanded
to the City Court yesterday morning
by Recorder Myrick on a charge of
stealing a diamond ring from W. H.
Everett, proprietor of a cigar store on
Broughton street. #
Levy denied taking the ring, but
Everett positively dentilied him as the
right man. He is alleged to have gone
Into the store, asked to see the ring
and substituted a fake diamond ring for
the genuine article. The ring was on
exhibition In the window pending Its
disposal.
H USTEINTa“sHoFm AKER,
DIED FROM ALCOHOLISM.
Fritz Hustein. who died at the Sa
vannah Hospital Monday night, had
been sent there from the police sta
tion Sunday a week ago. He was ar
rested for being drunk and laying on
the street, but was sent to the hospi
tal when it was found he was suf
fering from acute alcoholism.
The man had been arrested once be
fore and released. On the last occa
sion he complained so bitterly that a
physician was sent for. The doctor at
once ordered him sent to the hospital.
Hustein earns to Savannah as a shoe
maker.

“CUT IT OUT! CliT IT OUT!”
While the returns were being re
ceived at the theater last night, the
bulletin announcing that Roosevelt had
swept the country elicited much ap
plause from a portion of the peanut
gallerv.
The applause was cut short, however,
by the demonstration made by Par
ker adherents, who shouted: “Cut It
out! Cut It out!” There was little oc
casion for applause in the bulletins
which were read, the majority of those
preeent being Democrats.

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY.NOVEMBER 9. 1901.

Great Prosperity”—Trust* and
Their Money, Says Aldermaa IJlx

So far as the result of the presiden
tial election is concerned, there were
very few people in Savannah last night
who were surprised.
The election of Roosevelt had been
practically conceded, and as one Par
ker admirer put it, while the bulletins
were being flashed from the Morning
News office, “We didn’t even get a run
for our money.”
In none of the bulletins was the
slightest hope offered the Democrats,
and early In the night the result was
positively known. The election of Hig
gins over Herrick in New York was
the surprise of the night. So far as is
known, no bets on this contest were
made in Savannah, it being generally
believed that Herrick would have a
walk-over. The election of Odell’s can
didate was really the surprise of the
night.

CUT IN FOOTbALL GAME
WILL CAUSE BOY'S DEATH
Tetanus Set in and Herbert Kuch, Aged 14 Years,
Is Dying.
From tetanus, the result of a gash
received in playing football, two weeks
ago, Herbert Kuck, aged 14 years, of
No. 102 Taylor street, east, is in a
dying condition at the home of his par
ents. All hope for his recovery has
been abandoned by the attending phy
sicians.
About two weeks ago young Kuck,
who is the son of Mr. John Kuck, sus
tained an ugly cut on his knee during
a game of football in a lot at Charlton
and Drayton streets. In a particularly
llonal love of Roosevelt, or commenda
tion of many of the erratic things he
has done, that resulted In his election
over Judge Parker,” said Mayor Her
man Myers in discussing the result of
the election.
"He was simply the beneficiary of
the country’s great prosperity, for
which no party is responsible, and of
the undoubtedly enormous campaign
fund that the Republican party had at
its command.
"That party, having the sinews of
war, has been able to keep up a fine
organization in all of the doubtful
states, whereas the Democratic party
has in recent years, been more or less
disorganized, and was unable to get
itself into first-class fighting shape
for this campaign.
"It reconciled Its differences of opin
ion too recently for its units to get to
gether into one solid body. There is
hardly a doubt that the purchaseable
vote in the great doubtful states of
the North and West was corraled by
the Republicans. The longest purse
gathered them in. This has been the
case In all recent national contests.
No Really Great Issue.
“But above and beyond all this,
there was no really great issue that
could enthuse the Democratic party
and nerve it for a victorious fight. The
leaders of the two parties, on the
whble, show but little difference of
views on the money question, on the
upbuilding of a merchant marine and
on the smaller questions that were
brought forward In the platforms and
then dropped.
“The Philippine question cuts both
ways In both parties. There are prob
ably as many Republicans as Demo
crats who condemn the existing situ
ation in the Philippines. Just as there
are many Republicans who condemn
the isthmus affair. On the other
hand there are many Democrats who
believe the Philippines should be per
petually retained by this country, or
who think the day of independence for
the islands is too remote to be dis
cussed, and that the isthmian canal
overshadows anything objectionable
in the method of scouring it.
Tariff Was Chief Issue.
"I do not think either of those Issues
benefited or injured either of the par
ties to any extent. The tariff was
really. It seems to me, the underlying
issue in the North, and there had been
no sufficient campaign of education on
that issue to make it a telling one.
“Judge Parker was a good leader,
a pure, high-toned, able man, and with
all other Democrats. I regret it was
his misfortune to lead a losing fight.
But this losing fight may. and proba
bly will be. but the precursor of a
glorious Democratic victory four years
hence.”
“It was what I feared, but that
makes my regret none t)ie less,” said
Alderman James M. Dixon, in speak
ing of the defeat of Parker. “The Re
publicans had the money and that tells
the whole story.
Trusts and Money Did It.
“Protecting the trusts as the Re
publican party does, It has a prac
tically inexhaustible source of reve
nue at its command. With this money
the Republicans were able to defeat
the Democrats in the doubtful states
and gain the victory. Roosevelt never
could have beaten Parker. It was the
trusts and money that did It.
“The fight is over, however, and
there is nothing to do but wait until
another four years shall pass. By then
the country will certainly have had a
surfeit of Roosevelt and a Republican
administration."

FILIPINO PATROLMAN
SHOT SAVANNAH BOY.
Comrade la Philippines Tells of
Death of Frank .1. Ilavts.
In a letter received by the little sis
ter of Robert J. Hayes, in the artil
lery service in the Philippines, the
death of a Savannah boy, Frank L.
Davis, is told. Davis woe shot by a
Filipino policeman, being wounded in
the head and leg. the former wound
proving fatal. No particulars of the
•tragedy were given.
The letter was dated Sept. 20, and
was written from Mindanoa, where the
battery was stationed. The family of
the writer reside at No. 431 East Broad
street. *
A search last night for the relatives
of the dead boy was unavailing. It
was ascertained that he formerly play
ed around Washington Park, but no
one interrogated could remember where
he lived. A number of families hav
ing the family name of Davis were
seen, but none could tell who Frank
Davis was.
Last summer Davis, Hayes and Rob
ert O’Keefe enlisted in Savannah, and
the trio / went to the Philippines to
gether. They were fast friends and
were members of the same company,
having played in the square as chil
dren.
In speaking of the life of the soldiers,
Robert Hayes said in his letter:
“I hope I will be spared to come
back home again. Where I am going to
be sent they are always fighting.
Last week there was a fight between
scouts and the Moros, which resulted
in the death of 74 Moros and five
scouts, and the wounding* of forty
Moros and ten scouts.”
vicious scrimmage the boy received the
wound that will cause his death.
Although he suffered Intense pain
from the out, he was able to make fiis
way home, and it was not thought
there would be any serious results. The
out refused to heal and the leg began
to swell.
The wound roved a stubborn one,
and several days ago tetanus set in.
An operation was performed yesterday
morning in the hope of saving the
boy's life, but it was stated later In
the day that there was no possibility
for the recovery of young Kuck.
WITH DIAMOND RINGS
WOMAN WAS ARRESTED.
Servant for One Day Robbed Em

For the theft of four rings valued at
$250, Ella Harris, a colored domestic,
will be given a preliminary examina

The theft was committed about ten
days ago. The woman had been
working In the Wade home for only a
day, and was left in charge of the
house while Mrs. Wade went down
town. When she returned borne Mrs.
Wade found that her jewelry and the

Misapprehension in regard to several
mafters on the part of Col. Harry P.
Anderson, commandant at Fort Screv
-0
en, is responsible for the somewhat
sensational ending to the trial of
{Frank Naylor, the Tybee saloonist
charged with selling liquor on the
Sabbath, and In whose case a verdict
of not guilty was ordered by Judge
Cann in the Superior Court. A de
tailed account of the trial was given
yesterday in the Morning News.
Col. Anderson was a visitor In the
city yesterday and called upon Judge
Cann to explain the reasons for tak
ing the position he did in> the case of
the soldier-witneses. Misapprehension
of the powers of the state in certain
matters, and also as to what wit
nesses were needed to establish the
contentions of the prosecution, seem to
have been at the bottom of all the
trouble rather than a disinclination
to assist the civil authorities.
In fact Col. Anderson stated to a
Morning News representative that an
endeavor to shield any violator of the
law was foreign to him. He declined
to discuss the matter at any length,
taking the position that enough had
already been said, that he had made
an explanation of his position to the
court, and that the best way to end
a somewhat delicate situation was to
decline to discuss the matter further.
Explained Officer*’ Position.
As stated above, Col. Anderson call
ed during the morning to see Judge
Cann with reference to the occurrences
of Monday in the Naylor case and
stated in substance that It was al
ways his desire to' co-operate with the
civil authorities whenever he could
properly do so, and that what had oc
curred, so far as the authorities at
Fort Screven were concerned, was
through no unwillingness to assist the
civil courts, but entirely through mis
apprehension.
Judge Cann expressed to Col. An
derson appreciation of his prompt and
oourteous statements and assurances,
and the high regard in which .the mil
itary was held by this community and
its civil officers. Judge Cann’s thor
ough knowledge of military matters
and of conditions prevailing at army
posts made It possible for the two to
speak with a thorough understanding
of the positions of each.
Col. Anderson’s Statement.
When seen by a Morning News rep
resentative and asked for an expres
sion of opinion regarding the Naylor
case, Col. Anderson said:
“I really have nothing to say for pub
lication. I was surprised when I saw
the remarks, Judge Cann had made in
ordering the verdict of acquittal, and
at once went to him, and made a
statement regarding the conditions sur
rounding the case and also as to my
position in the matter. I would pre
fer that you go to Judge Cann and
obtain a statement from him regard
ing our conversation on the matter."
Judge Cann was seen and asked for
a statement and furnished the facts on
which the above account of what oc
curred between him and Col. Anderson
is based.
DOG AND PONY SHOW HAS
CLOSED ENGAGEMENT HERE.
Show Was Larger and Better Than
Ever Before This Season.
After playing to four large audi
ences here, the Gentry Bros.’ dog
and pony show folded its tents and left
Savannah last night, leaving pleasant
memories behind in the minds of hun
dreds of young folks.
In making up the show to send on
the road this year the management
decided tp introduce other features
than the mere exhibitions of the an
tics of dogs, monkeys, horses and ele
phants. They have added the trio of
Japanese acrobats and slack wire per
formers, a comedy act of a negro
riding a bucking mule, and a concert.
Through the entire country the
name of Gentry Bros, is synonymous
with all that is excellent in the train
ed animal line. The name is known
to every boy and girl in the country,
and they have kept up their high
standard of excellence to such a de
gree that every one who goes to the
show feels full assurance that they
will see the best show of the kind in
the world.

SQUABBLE FOR FURNITURE
OF ALLEGED FORGER.
C. H. Mongers Says He Did Not ( h
One of the Forged Cheeks.
D. C. Clark, the superintendent of
the Fo;t Screven waterworks, who is
alleged to have forged the name of
Lieut. R. D. Winslow, and skipped out
of Savannah, left behind sloo* his last
month's salary from the government,
which has been in the hands of the
paymaster at the fort for several days.
The $lOO, however, will probably not
do any of his creditors any good, as
the United States government can not
be garnished. There is quite a squab
ble on over the household effects of
Clark. Both the furniture people and
the landlord are said to be after
them, as well as some of the parties
who accepted the forged checks. What
will be the outcome remains to be
seen.
C. H. Monsees says that he did not
cash a check for Clark. The error
was made through information fur
nished by Lieut. Winslow. Lieut.
Winslow reported both to the police
and to the Morning News that one of
the checks had been given to Mr.
Monsees.
No trace of Clark has yet been
found, but officers are still investi
gating his disappearance. Clark is a
married man, but his wife is said to
have left here some time before he
did.
MOVING PICTURES
✓ AMUSED THE CROWDS.
Morning News Helped to Brighten
Gloom of Bulletins.
Had it not been for the moving pic
tures which the Morning News threw
on the screen in the interim between
the flashing of the bulletins last night
there would not have been one little
thing to lighten the heavy gloom which
hung over the crowd standjng before
the Morning News office waiting for
the election returns. The funny situ
ations and the humorous attitudes of
the pictured figures livened things up
and kept the laughter going.
The bulletin service furnished by the
Morning News was the best that has
yet been offered in Savannah. Bulle
tins from the different states were re
ceived rapidly, and immediately after
they reached this office were flashed
upon the large screen by means of the
stereopticon. The indications of a Re
publican landslide, shown by the early
bulletins, were confirmed by those re
ceived later, and this cast a gloom
over the loyal Democrats gathered in
the hope of reading a Parker victory.
The moving pictures helped to take
away the sting of defeat. Pictures of
sleight-of-hand performers extricating
all manner of men from all manner
of places, pictures of men and women
innocently getting into all sorts of un
usual predicaments, and performing all
kinds of tricks, furnished fun galore
qjid despite the depressing effect of the
bulletins, there was plenty of laughter,
merriment and consequent good feel
ing.
SOLD FAKE TICKETS
TO THE PONY SHOW.
William Washington, Colored,
Charged With Swindling Boy.
For selling bogus tickets to the Gen
try Dog and Pony Show last night Wil
liam Washington, a negro 18 years of
age, is held a prisoner at the police
station on a charge of cheating and
swindling.
The arrest was made by Patrolman
Futch and the complainant is Charlie
Donaldson, colored, aged 12 years. It
is alleged Washington sold Charlie two
tickets for 25 cents, and that they
were turned down by the Jnan who
took tickets.
The bogus pieces of paper were for
some freak show in St. Louis, or some
where else where Charlie could not
have possibly gone. The accused will
be arraigned before Recorder Myrick
in Police Court this morning and the
juvenile prosecutor will tell his story
to the Recorder.
Solid Car Shipments.
The Kalola Company shipped yester
day a solid carload of ginger ale to
Sandersville.
This is the first carload of soda water
that ever went out of Savannah and
it attracted a great deal of attention.
On both sides of the car a large ban
ner was posted bearing this inscrip
tion:
“Solid car load of American Club
ginger ale. From Kalola Company,
Savannah, Ga. For Cohen, Duggan
Jobbing Company.”
This quantity comprised 100 casks of
Jen dozen bottles to the cask, in pints
and quarts, or 12,000 bottles.
This order was sold by Mr. J. N.
Herrington.
The Kalola Company has doubled Its
capacity, and Is now operating an elec
tric machine with one corking and two
crowning machines.
In the bottling plant alone fifteen
people are employed.
The ginger ale offered the public by
the Kalola Company is the superior
of most of the products sent out. It
is the intention to supplant all other
ales by introducing the Savannah ar
ticle throughout this section. Phy
sicians recommend the American Club
ginger ale as being smoother and less
acrid than the ordinary article sold
here. The company especially claims
for It non-alcoholic, non-constipating.
The success with which the company
has operated its plant and its rapid
growth encourage the management to
greater effort, and they hope to out
shlp any similar concern of the coun
try.
