GIRL FAINTED AT
NOTE OF WARNING
WITH SHRIEK OF TERROR
MISS ELOISE lvxah fell in room
YESTERDAY MORXIYG,
Threat from I'nlinoirn Hand. Found
In Her Writing: Desk When She
Awoke, Threw Her Into Hysterics.
•‘lf I Meet Von I Will Shoot Yon,”
Written on Piece of Paper Ila.
Rote Followed Verve Wrecking
Experience With Burglar Monday
Night.
“If I meet you I will shoot you.”
With a piece of manila paper bearing
this threat clutched firmly in her hand.
Miss Eloise Lynah was found in her
room at the home of her parents, No.
110 Park avenue, east, yesterday morn
ing. in an hysterical condition.
Her shriek of terror as she swooned
brought members of the family rush
ing to the room and the services of
a physician had to be secured. So
tightly was the note of warning clutch
ed in her hand that it had to be forced
open.
The note had been found by Miss
Lynah in her writing desk and follow
ing her nerve shattering experience
of Monday night, when she encounter
ed a negro burglar In her room and
looked into the gleaming muzzle of a
revolver, she fainted. For some time
her condition was thought to be ser
ious, but the attending physician stat
ed last night she had recovered from
the shock.
Id Shrouded in Mystery.
The case is the most mysterious the
police have had to deal with in a long
while, and although the officers have
been working on the case with per
sistence since Miss Lynah encountered
the burglar Monday night, they have
been unable, thus far, to secure any in
formation that has warranted them in
making an arrest.
An account of the discovery of a bur
glar in the Lynah home was given ex
clusively in the Morning News. While
in her room preparing to study her
lessons Miss Lynah noticed her watch
move early last Monday night and a
moment later faced a burly negro who
leveled a pistol at her head and de
clared he would shoot if she made an
outcry. A minute or two later he gave
her permission to go downstairs, where,
after reporting what had happened to
the members of the family, she fainted.
Asa result of this experience she was
in a highly nervous state and had to
be placed in the care of a physician.
Ekcoup of the Burglar.
Members of the family restrained Mr.
Lynah from going unarmed upstairs
to face a thief who was known to have
a pistol, and when an investigation
was made the negro had made his es
cape. How he entered or left the
house the police were unable to satis
factorily explain.
A bundle of clothing was left by
the man on a shed, and it was evident
that he left the premises immediately
after giving Miss Lynah permission to
go downstairs. Just how he got out
of the house, however, could not be
told by Detective Bostick, who was
put to work on the case. A watch
that the negro had his hands on was
left behind, with the clothe* he had
Intended to take, and nothing was
missed.
Discovery of the Vole.
Miss Lvnah used her writing desk
Wednesday morning and her sister
used it Wednesday evening, but neith
er saw the note which* frightened Miss
Lynah into hysterics yesterday morn
ing. She discovered it shortly after
getting up.
Whether it was placed in the writing
desk during the night, after Miss Ly
nah's sister had used it, or whether it
was left there Monday night by the
burglar before his hurried flight, as a
warning to the young lady, the police
are not prepared at this time to say.
Of one thing they are confident. The
burglar did not return to the house and
place the note in the writing desk.
Piece of I’iwer Bug.
The warning was printed on a piece
of paper bag. A blunt lead pencil was
used and the sentence is read with dif
ficulty, the characters being light. The
note was turned over to the police Im
mediately after it had been taken from
the young lady's hand. The printing
was done rather neatly.
The police, of course, ridicule any
Idea of Miss Lynah being done any
bodily harm, but as a result of her
two experiences she is in a very nerv
ous state. The residents of the neigh
borhood, too, are very much exercised
and the police are making every ef
fort to solve ttie mystery. Miss Lynah
is a bright and plucky young lady and
has held up well under the fearful
strain.

NO COMMISSIONS YET
FOR SAVANNAH JUDGES.
Governor Mar Have to Extend Time
(or Qualification.
As far as the offices of judge of the
Superior Court and judge of the City
Court are concerned, there is an un
usual state of affairs existing in Sa
vannah.
Though the law requires that the
successful candidates for these offices
must qualify and receive their com
missions before Nov. 14, as yet neither
Judge Cann’s nor Judge Norwood’s
commission has arrived.
Their commissions for the present
term expire on the first of the new
year, and unless recommissioned they
would, under the law, be compelled to
give up the discharge of their duties.
Both have been re-elected to the of
fice, but they must be recommissioned,
and this must all be done before Nov.
14. But four days, including to-day,
remain in which to qualify, and under
the circumstances a telegram has been
sent to the state officers in Atlanta to
hurry things up.
The fault undoubtedly lies at Atlan
ta, and is probably an oversight. The
commissions of ail the other state and
county officers arrived some time ago,
and all have qualified. Why the com
missions of the two judges should
have been omitted is not understood in
Savannah, and that it was an over
sight is the only explanation offered.
In case it is found that the time is
too short in which to qualify under
the law. Gov. Terrell will undoubtedly
be asked to extend the time, a power
which he has. Under the circumstances
this power would be promptly exer
cised, but the situation is causing
some uneasiness for the officials with
out commissions, and much merriment
to those who are now exhibiting their
new commissions over their desks.
HEARD TESTIMONY
OF TWO WITNESSES.
Told of Conditions Prevailing on
Hunting Island.
A short session of the Rauers ap
praisers was held yesterday and the
testimony of two witnesses taken as
to the conditions prevailing on Hunting
Island, a portion of the Rauers es
tate.
Adjournment was then taken until
this afternoon. It is hoped by the
appraisers that all the testimony wifi
be concluded at this session and the
matter be ready for argument before
Judge Speer during the latter part of
this month. The appraisers who took
the testimony were Messrs. Walter G.
Charlton, W. F. Brunner, and Albert
Wylly.
The testimony is being taken in ac
cordance xvith an order of Judge Speer.
Portions of the land on St. Catherine's
Island and Hunting Island were want
ed by the government for the purpose
of erecting lighthouses thereon. Mr.
Rauers was not inclined to sell thd
land and condemnation proceedings
were instituted. The appraisers were
appointed to determine the value of
the land.
Just as the final report was prac
tically ready to be made at the last
session of the court. United States At
torney Leaken stated he had secured
some new evidence which he wished
to present. The new commission was
then appointed by the court, and the
hearing of the matter went over until
the coming term of court.
NAVAL STORES MEN
RETIRE FROM TRADE.
Senior Partners in l’eacoek. Hunt A
West Cos. Sell Holdings.
An announcement of a business
change was made yesterday that will
prove of more than ordinary interest to
the business men of this section gen
erally, and particularly to those inter
ested in the naval stores trade.
The official statement was made by-
Mr. W. J. Kelly, vice president of the
Peacock, Hunt & West Cos. that Mr. J.
W. West and himself, together with in
terests identified with the Consolidated
Naval Stores Cos., have acquired the
stock of the Peacock, Hunt & West Cos.,
and that the business will be continued
in both Savannah and Jacksonville un
der the same name and management
as heretofore. Messrs. P. L. Peacock
■and J. W. Hunt will retire from the
naval stores business.
PROPOSED TOURING
FAIR TO SAVANNAH.
Though Desirable, Not Probable
That Great Kifort Will Dr Made.
The proposition to make Savannah
an active bidder for the State Fair next
year, which has been advanced from
Atlanta, did not raise any excitement
among the business men of the city
yesterday. It is improbable that any
strenuous effort will be made to in
duce the fair management to select
this city.
However, it is realized by the busi
ness men that the holding of the fair
here next year would be of great bene
fit to Savannah, and they would like
to see it come.
“We ought to make a bid the same
a other towns,” said Mr. B. H. Levy
vice president of the Retail Merchants
Association yesterday. “We are in the
ring for the fair if we can get it. The
holding of the fair here would be a
most desirable event.”

SAVANNAH MORNING NFWS: FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 11. 1904.
STATE CHAIRMAN
TALKS OF RESULT
DOESN’T FEEL LIKE PARKER.
BUYING FLOATING VOTE NOT
CAUSE OF BIG MAJORITIES.
Believes Result Due to Desire of
People to Continue Present Ad
ministration So Long as Country
Is Prosperous—Neither Does He
Believe There Was Trading, liut
Bather an Indieation of More In
dependent Voters.
Chairman 'M. ,T. Yeomans, of the
State Democratic Executive Commit
tee, who spent yesterday in Savannah,
en route to his parents’ home in Tatt
nall county, does not believe, with
Judge Parker, that the great landslide
was, in a measure, chargeable to the
floating vote which was purchased by
the Republicans.
Mr. Yeomans rather believes the un
usual majorities of the Republicans
were due largely to a desire to make
no change in the present administration
as long as the country is prosperous,
or until there is some vital issue at
stake.
“It is absurd to claim that 250,000
votes were purchased,” said Mr. Yeo
mans, “and 1 take no stock in it.
There is no doubt that the influence
wielded by those large corporations,
which are loath to make a change in
the national government while condi
tions are favorable to them, had much
to do with the pluralities, especially in
New York and Illinois, where they ex
erted the most influence. X believe
Judge Parker was the right man to
place at the head of the ticket, and
would have made a most excellent
President.
Party In in Good Slmpe.
“Despite the fact that the party has
just undergone the most calamitous
defeat in years, I believe as a whole
the Democratic organization is better
off to-day than it has been in twelve
years, and is in better position to grap
ple with the great issues which are
bound to come up before the next cam
paign is commenced.
“We have been knifing ourselves for
the last twelve years, until now the
party is well weeded out and every
body seems content to work together
for the good of the party. Mr. Bryan
was an enthusiastic supporter of Judge
Parker, and I do not believe that either
he or Mr. Hearst had any idea of form
ing anew party. We do not need a
new party. Wlyit we need most is the
withdrawal of the conciliatory planks
of our platform as regards the trusts
and monied interests, which will have
to be whipped before the Democrats
will again get into power.
Satisfied YVitli Vote In Georgia-
Chairman Yeomans said he was more
than satisfied with the results of the
vote in Georgia. The majority given
Judge Parker was about 43,000. and
the plurality was the largest cast In
this state in the last decade.
At present there is absolutely noth
ing doing at the state Democratic
headquarters, and Mr. Yeomans is tak
ing a rest. During the campaign he
wrote over 20,000 letters and worked
unceasingly to get out as large a vote
as possible. He said that for a while
It looked as though everyone was
asleep, but he succeeded in getting
them to register by frightening them.
Gubernatorial Possibilities.
When asked if he had heard any ear
ly talk of grooming candidates for Gov
ernor, Mr. Yo'umans said he had heard
a few casual references to the mat
ter. but had paid no attention.
“Will Mr. Stevens be a candidate,”
he was asked directly.
“No.” he asserted positively.
“Have you any Idea who will be a
candidate?”
“No, I really haven't given the mat
ter any thought as yet, and have paid
little attention to the suggestions of
names which I have heard.”
Mr. Yeomans does not credit the
general Idea that there was trading in
several of the states where Democratic
governors and state officers w r ere elect
ed and the Republican national ticket
received majorities. He attributes This
to the fact that there are a great many
more independent voters now than
formerly.
Mr. Yeomans said he would spend
several days at the home of his parents
in Tattnall county before returning to
this home at Dawson. During |the
evening, a number of local politicians
called on Mr." Yeomans at the De Soto
to talk state matters over.

WORK HAS BEEN STARTED
ON NEW ICE FACTORY.
W. W. Afniar & Cos. Begin Erection
of Ice Plant for Savannah.
Another ice factory will be In opera
tion in Savannah early next spring
and prices on the summer necessity
will probably be cut considerably.
The new factory will be owned by W.
W. Aimar & Cos. A building permit
has been secured and work on the
factory has already been started. It
will probably be completed by April 1,
next, Mr. Aimar says, and will be
gin operations at once. The factory
will be up-to-date in every way and
Mr. Aimar believes he can sell ice
cheaper than lias heretofore been done,
and at the same time make a reason
able profit.
Work on the factory is really already
well under way. It was started sev
eral days before the building permit
was secured and this was issued sev
eral days ago. The factory is being
erected at No. 780 Wheaton street.
It will be a part frame and part
brick structure, 35 by 250 feet. W. W.
Aimar & Cos., the owners, who are lum
ber dealers, are erecting the factory
themselves, having decided this would
be cheaper than letting out a con
tract .
“We have already started work,” said
Mr. Aimar, yesterday, “and have
everything well under way. We hope
to be able to complete the factory by
April 1, of next year, and will do so
easily unless we have exceptionally bad
xVeather. We will begin operation as
soon as the factory is finished. We
will sell ice for about 15 cents a hun
dred.”

THOUGHT GOVERNMENT
HAD STOLEN SWEETHEART.
And Demnnded Government Aid in
Getting Her Back.
With tragic air a love-lorn heir post
ed post-haste into the postoffice yes
terday afternoon, searching for his
sweetheart.
There were tears In his eyes and tears
in his voice, a voice that was thick
from a combination of sorrow and the
beverage that is supposed to relieve
sorrow'.
He wore a modern tobacco-brown
suit of clothes and a vest that had been
white before time laid its dusty hand
upon it. He wanted the government
officials, for he had a tale of woe to
tell them. Somebody had stolen his
sweetheart and he blamed the govern
ment.
His story in brief was that he had
chased the chaste Louise, a carnival
attraction, through many cities, and
now- she threw him down. She had
promised to marry him, he claimed, and
therefore they had both given up their
jobs with the carnival and prepared
to seize the opportunity of uniting for
a trip through matrimonial seas. While
he saw to the preliminary arrange
ments, the maiden saw things different
ly and departed. His efforts to trace
her ended with the postoffice, and
"when last seen she was in this build
ing.” In his opinion, this put the
matter up to the government.
His tale of woe was received as In
formation by the government and then
as gently as possible he was Informed
that the marshal’s office w'as neither a
private detective enterprise, nor a mar
riage bureau. Full of grief, et al. he
turned away. Then he waited in the
corridor for another official, but his
tale still had no weight with Unde
Sam’s men. Then, completely dis
couraged, he hied away to hide his
grief.
Someone quoted Scripture at him,
“Seek and ye shall find,” but he
wouldn't cheer up. and the sugges
tion, “She may have gone away with
a ‘mail’ ” fell on unheeding ears. The
most humorous part of It all to the
auditors was the seriousness with which
the man took his trouble.

DROPPED DEAD
ON THE STREET
VISITOR IN THE CITY
FELL AT ABERCORN AND STATE
STREETS LAST NIGHT.
J. M. Him. Lumberman of Hubert.
Ga., Died Without Warning-Won
Walking on the Street In Front
of Two Ladies, When He Suddenly
Fell—Body nemnlued in Street for
Almost nil Hour, and Was Finally
Carried Away in a Cub.
Walking along Abercorn street a
short distance in front of two ladies
early last night, J. M. Hiers of Hubert,
Ga., threw his hands up and dropped
dead.
He paused a moment just before
reaching Abercorn and State streets
and then tumbled, falling out into the
street. Though there were several peo
ple within a short distance, he was
dead before any one reached his side.
No coroner’s investigation has been
held and the cause of death is un
known, though heart disease is believ
ed to have killed him. The police were
notified of the death and officers guard
ed the body for the hour it was In the
street.
Wan Perfectly Sober.
Mr. Hires had been noticed standing
at Broughton and Abercorn streets only
■a few minutes before he dropped dead.
From the corner, he walked south on
Abercorn street in front of two ladies
almost a block, and then fell. The
ladies hurried on down the street and
soon met Mr. Charles Hernandez,
with whom they are acquainted.
They told Mr. Hernandez of the man’s
falling and said they thought he must
be sick. Mr. Hernandez went to in
vestigate and reached the body about
the same time as a man, who had
been walking behind the ladies. Mr.
Hiers was then dead.
In Street for Hour.
Mr. Hernandez notified police head
quarters by telephone and officers were
at once sent to the scene. The coroner
could not at once be located, and the
body lay in the street for an hour,
while a large crowd of curious people
gathered. The body was finally moved
without waiting for the coroner, Un
dertaker Goette carrying it away in a
cab.
Mr. Hiers was a sawmill man at
Hubert and well known here, frequeht
ly coming to the city on business. He
was apparently fifty odd years of age
and had a family. He had a brother,
C. M. Hiers, who lives at Allendale, S.
C., who also frequently visits Savan
nah.
Identified In Short Time.
When Mr. Hiers dropped on the
street it was not known who he was,
but the body was soon identified. Let
ters in his pockets told who he was
and several persons who knew him ar
rived a short time afterwards.
It is not known, however, where Mr.
Hiers was stopping in Savannah, or
how long he had been in the city. He
called at a number of business houses
during the day, but no one asked him
where he was stopping. He usually
stopped either at the Marshall House
or over the Chatham Bank, but he had
not been at either of these places for
several weeks. To his friends Mr.
Hiers was familiarly known as “Doc”
Hiers and one of the letters in his
pocket was addressed to “Dr. J. M.
Hiers.”
Hubert could not be reached either
by telephone or telegraph last night,
and the brother in Allendale was wired
of the death.
TOWN TRKABI RER FORCED
TO GIVK I P HIS BOOKS.
Warsaw Connell Took Ont Posses
sory Warrant for Them.
An old fight was resumed yesterday
when a possessory warrant was sworn
out in Justice Bevan’s court by the
Council of Warsaw, for the books of
the Town Treasurer Mr. Henry Am
bos.
Demand had previously been made
on Mr. Ambos for the books, but he
declined to turn them over, but on con
sulting his attorney yesterday he de
cided to give the books up.
It is claimed by the authorities at
Thunderbolt that when elected to the
office of treasurer, Mr. Ambos refus
ed to give a bond, and he was asked
either to withdraw from the office, or
make some provision for protecting the
town’s money. Mr. E. V. Toomer,
who was a clerk under Mr. Ambos, was
selected as treasurer, but as there were
no books be could not conduct the
affairs of the office.
Mr. Ambos said he did not want to
turn over the books, as they were
records that belonged to no one but
himself. He was perfectly willing for
them to be examined, but he would not
turn them over. He claimed residents
of Thunderbolt who owed licenses
would claim the town owed them, and
they wanted to settle this way. As he
had no authority to settle the town’s
bills he did not do so. Mr. Ambos
is represented by Mr. W. B. Stubbs.
Mr. Raiford Falligunt represents the
Warsaw township.

Messrs. Stewart and Donlan were
busily engaged yesterday In checking
up the carnival accounts. The task
Is an arduous one, as each ticket for
each performance and sideshow must

DISTRIBUTING DEPOT
FOR BELL TELEPHONE CO.
Eatabliahed Here to Do Buxines* of
$50,000 Per Month.
Supplies for the new distributing de
pot of the Southern Bell Telephone
Company, which was opened the first
of the month In the Central of Geor
gia yards just back of the wholesale
grocery store of Guckenheimer & Sons,
are being received daily.
Mr. S. S. Fremont, formerly with
the Atlanta office, is the storekeeper in
charge. The supplies consist of wire,
bare and Insulated, insulators, cross
arms, pins, and in fact every material
necessary for the construction of tel
ephone lines.
From the Savannah office will be
supplied South Carolina, Florida,
Southeast Georgia and a part of Ala
bama. Heretofore this territory has
been served from the Portsmouth, At
lanta and New York offices.
Most of the materials will be shipped
here from New York by boat, thus
making freight charges much less than
to the Atlanta office. The pins are
made in North Georgia. Savannah Is
most conveniently located for such a
depot, being near the New York office
when measured by freight rates, and
near the points of distribution in dis
tance.
Instruments and switch boards will
not be carried at the Savannah depot,
as they can be shipped and stored
more conveniently elsewhere.
As the business is just being started,
the stock on hand is not large, but it
is expected that within a few months
materials to the value of $50,000 will
pass through the office monthly. The
force will also be largely increased,
and with the growth in business, it is
probable the present quarters will
have to be enlarged or new quarters
sought.
By the opening of the new depot the
telephone company will be enabled to
accomplish quite a saving in freight
bills, bo*h to the depot and from the
depot to the territory covered.
RECORD OF PENSIONERS
IN CHATHAM COUNTY.
The complete record of all indigent
and disabled soldiers and all soldiers’
widows who have been granted pen
sions in Chatham county has been re
ceived by Judge Henry McAlpin in the
Court of Ordinary.
The record is very complete and gives
not only the name of the pensioner,
but his record as a soldier, —in the case
of widows the record' of the deceased
husband is given—the causes on which
the pension was granted, etc.
It states also the amount he receiv
ed each year, and there are blank
spaces for filling the amounts received
in the years yet to come, thus enab
ling the record to be kept up-to-date.
There are also spaces for marking in
the dates on which death of pensioner
occurred or on which he moved to an
other county. The file is a very val
uable one and makes a decided addi
tion to the court records.
WENT WITH WRONG PRISONERS.
, Charged with stealing a mule, J. J.
Holland, a white man, was carried to
Bulloch county by Sheriff J. Z. Ken
drick yesterday afternoon. Holland has
already been tried and convicted and
sentenced to serve fix e years in the pen
itentiary. Through mistake he was sent
with several life convicts from Bul
loch county. The prisoner was left at
the police station for a short time yes
terday for safe keeping, while the
sheriff was waiting for his train.
