BELIEVED TO BE
LYNAH BURGLAR
TWO SUSPECTS ARRESTED.
BOTH TALIY WITH DESCRIPTION
GIVEN BY MISS LYNAH.
Neither Could Be Identified Yeiter
day. an Miss Lynah Has Left the
City Temporarily—Wadley, One of
the Negroes Arrested, Had a Pis
tol on His Person—Detective Mose
Davis Made Both of the Arrests.
Two negroes are held at the police
station suspected of being the burglar
■who entered the Lynah home on Park
avenue about two weeks age and so
badly frightened Miiss Eloise Lynah.
Both arrests were made by Detective
Mose Davis yesterday, one at 12:30
o'clock in the afternoon and the other
at 6 o’clock in the evening. The story,
which was told exclusively in the
Morning News, is still familiar to the
public, and the Intense, excitement of
the moment when she faced a revolver
in the hands of the negro has so af
fected Miss Lynah she was persuaded
to pay a visit to relatives In Charles
ton until she could recover from the
effects of the experience.
The first arrest made by Detective
Davis was that of a negro giving his
name as Will Wadley. The negro
who entered the Lynah home, as de
scribed by Miss Lynah, had on red
socks, which were noticeable from the
fact he had off his shoes, a brown
shirt, and had a slight mustache,
which was barely perceptible. In every
way Wadley’s description fits the one
furnished the police by Miss Lynah.
Detective Davis says he had been
shadowing this negro for several days.
He started to make the arrest at the
city market yesterday morning, but
the negro got out of his way, and he
finally got him at the Union Station.
When searched the negro had a 38-
calibre revolver on his person, which
the police believe is further evidence
of his identity.
Owing to the absence of Miss Lynah,
the negro could not be identified last
night, but will be held until she re
turns. If he proves to be the wrong
man, he will be held on the charge of
carrying concealed weapons and will
be turned over to a higher court.
The second negro arrested by Detec
tive Davis as a suspect was not cloth
ed as was the first, but otherwise his
description as to build and color suited
exactly, and his actions for the last
week have been closely watched by the
plain clothes man, who firmly believes
either he or Wadley is the man who
committed the Lynah robbery and
frightened Miss Lynah.
Patterson is known around Savannah
as ‘‘Race Horse.” He will be held as
a suspect until Miss Lynah returns to
the city.
MAYOR FAVORS LARGER'
LIBRARY APPROPRIATION.
Trustees Are Doing Good Work and
He Favor* Encouraging Them.
The request of the Public Library
trustees for a larger appropriation next
year, will almost certainly be granted
by the city. Mayor Myers stated yes
terday he would favor giving the li
brary a larger appropriation, if pos
sible.
“The library is doing a good work
anti the city wants to encourage the
trustees in every way possible," said
the Mayor. “1 am in favor of a sm'all
Increase in the appropriation and have
no doubt it will be granted, provided
of course, there are not too many calls
made upon the city in the meanwhile.
The library is doing a great work and
I want see it continued. The trustees
did remarkably well this year with
the funds at their disposal.”
The city gave $3,000 to the library
last year, and will probably give as
much as $5,000 for 1905.
CITY ASSESSORS HAVE
NOT YET INVESTIGATED.
Savannah Will Probably Get Large
Sum from Railroad Tax Case.
The city tax assessors have not yet
made an investigation of the Central
Railroad tax ease, which the Control
ler General says will bring a large sum
of money into the treasury of the city
of Savannah and Chatham county, as
well as into the state treasury. The
Controller says only the state. Chat
ham county and the city of Savannah
will be entitled to the taxes.
The city assessors were of a different
opinion, thinking the taxes would have
to 'be prorated along the line of the
railroad. They will make an Investi
gation to ascertain if the Controller is
correct. If he is. Savannah will get
over $36,000 In back taxes. If the case
Is finally won by the state.
EASOM WILL CLAIM

BADLY BURNED BY
EXPLOSION OF LAMP.
Negro Woman Victim of Serious Ac
cident in Bolton Lane.
Lina Singleton, a negro woman near
ly seventy years of age was horribly
burned about the face and body yes
terday afternoon at 3 o’clock at her
home. No. 714 Bolton lane, west.
The woman was carrying a lighted
lamp, which suddenly exploded, the
oil splashing over her clothing, on
which the fire quickly began to feed.
The woman dashed the lamp to the
floor and quickly rushed, scretaming,
into the street. Her upper body was
completely enveloped in flames. She
threw r herself in the sand in front of
the door, and it was doubtless this
thoughtfulness ithat saved her life.
Hearing her screams, numbers of neigh
bors hurried out, and quickly tore
the burning clothing from the woman's
body, and she was carried into the
house.
Dr. Belcher was called in. and dress
ed the wounds, pronouncing them ser
ious, but not necessarily fatal. The
woman was also badly burned in the
face, and it is believed she inhaled some
of the fire into her lungs. Her tongue
was badly burned, and she was
constantly calling for water.
When seen by a Morning News re
porter the worrfan was sitting up in
bed in a semi-conscious state, com
plaining that she did not want to lay
down in the fire. With every breath
she would call for water.
COLLEGE INSTRUCTORS
BROKE FIRST GROUND.
Work Brain* on Brnnlirtine Col
lege** New Building.
The instructors at the Benedictine
College yesterday broke the first
ground for the new college building at
Bull and Thirty-fourth streets, Rev.
Fathers Aloysius, Bernhrd, and Je
rome taking part.
The contract for erecting the college
building had been awarded to J. R.
Eason only a short time before and
the work will now be rushed forward
to completion. The contract calls for
the finishing of the building by May. 1.
A full description of the new college
has been given heretofore, with 'a cut
of the structure, in the Morning News.
The building will consist of two stories
on a basement, 100 by 60 feet. The
lower floor will be used for the gym
nasium and lavatories; the second floor
for the recit'ation rooms, and the third
floor will be fitted out as a reception
and entertainment hall. The building,
which will be of pressed brick and
Indiana limestone, will be modern in
every respect.
The contract was awarded to Mr.
Eason on his bid of $23,000. This bid
does not include the Inside furnishing
and some of the other details. When
complete the building will have cost
at least $25,000. Mr. Eason was suc
cessful over four other bidders, two
from Savannah and two from Au
gusta.
FORT CONTRACTS AWARDED.
Antliorimed liy Congress for Post at
Fort Screven.
The War Department has notified
the constructing quartermaster here,
in charge of the completion of the im
provements at Fort Screven, of the
acceptance of the bids for the new
barracks, mess-hall, and kitchen. The
contract goes to the Simons-Mayrant
Company of Charleston. A description
of the buildings to be erected was
published in the Morning News at the
time the specifications were drawn.
The contract for installing the
heating apparatus in the buildings
was awarded to D. A. Tompkins of
Charlotte. The contract for electric
wiring was captured by the Electric
Supply Company of this city. The to
tal cost of these improvements will be,
in round numbers, $40,000.
Yesterday the constructing quarter
master opened the bids for the new
lavaotry to be erected at the fort.
The bids were arranged in the re
quired way and forwarded to Wash
ington. The contract will be award
ed by the proper officials there and
notification sent to Savannah. It is
improbable that the contract will be
awarded in ‘less than ten days or two
weeks.

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY. NOVEMBER 22. 1904.
WILL ESTABLISH
WAREHOUSE HERE
DISTRIBUTING POINT FOR
SHERWIN-WILLIAMS COMPANY,
PAINT MANUFACTURERS.
Mr. W. H. Formal! of Baltimore,
Who Is to Open the Warehouse.
Arrived Yesterday Morning—Loca
tion Has Already Been Selected
and Warehouse Rented Sonic
Time Will Be Required to Get in
the Stock—Meuns Mach to City.
A distributing warehouse for the
entire Southeast is to be established
in Savannah by the Sherwin-Williams
Company, paint and varnish manufac
turers.
Mr. W. H. Forman of Baltimore,
who Is to have in charge the work of
starting the warehouse, arrived in the
city yesterday morning and is regis
tered at the Pulaski.
The company is probably the largest
paint and varnish manufacturing con
cern in the world. It has factories in
Cleveland, Chicago, Newark and Mon
treal, Canada, and branches in thir
teen cities, including the one to be
established in Savannah.
Ilest Distributing Point.
The selection f Savannah as the
most desirable location in the South
for increasing the facilities of the bus
iness means more than the simple ad
dition of another progressive business
firm.
It shows that the city’s advantages
as a distributing point are fast being
recognized throughout the country. Sa
vannah was selected only after a care
ful study of the entire South, and it
w>as decided upon as the best possible
distributing point for the Southeastern
territory.
The bringing of the warehouse here
will mean a great deal to the city. An
.immense amount of freight, which the
city does not get now, will be brought
here for distribution over the adjoin
ing territory and employment will nec
essarily be given to quite a number of
men.
Sift* Already Selected.
Though it will be some time before
the warehouse is in operation, the site
has already been selected. The ware
house on the Atlantic Coast Line tracks
at No. 745 Wheaton street has been
rented. It will be fitted up at once
and a large stock of goods will be put
in as soon as possible.
Mr. Forman, who will have charge
of fitting out the warehouse and stock
ing it, will be in the city for some
time. He is unable to state now how
long it will be before the warehouse
will be ready for business, but says
an immense amount of goods will be
distributed from this point once it is
In operation.
SAVANNAH’S RETAIL STREET.
Changes Which Arc Taking Place
In Its Appearance.
The erection of the eleven-story
building of the National Bank of Sa
vannah will doubtless make Brough
ton street a greater retail center than
it is. ■ *
The plans call for a number of half
basement stores on Broughton as well
as Bull street, which will add to the
available business places in that lo
cality.
“In the last two years there has
been a noticeable increase in stores on
Broughton street, east of Bull street,
which is due to the disappearance of
several gambling houses which were
injurious to respectable business, for
the reason that shoppers do not like
to pass such places,” said a real es
tate man yesterday. “There are still
a number of places on Broughton
street, east, that are not helpful to
the retail business, but in shopping
hours they present nothing to which
ladles might object.”
A powerful and far-reaching effect
on the business future of Broughton
street, east, would be the remodeling
of the old Marshall House into stores.
If the balcbny over the sidewalk were
removed a number of desirable stores
could be fitted up on the lower
floor and the upper floors still
Utilized as a hotel, which would
doubtless be as good if not better for
that purpose than at present.
There is no reason why, with the
imnrense growth of the city, extending
to the extreme southern limits of
Abercorn street and also the section
of the city east of it, that Broughton
street, east, should not be as good
for retail stores as Broughton street,
west. The fitting up of a few first
class stores representing the retail
grocery store and dry goods trade,
east of Abercorn on Broughton street
would show that business could be
carried on successfully in that local
ity.
UNUSUAL HEAVY MONDAY
POLICE DOCKET.
Large Siring of Penitents on the
Monrner’s Bench.
Forty-seven offenders against the
municipal code were arraigned before
the bar of justice at the Recorder’s
regular Monday morning session
yesterday, and in most instances the
accused were either assessed a small
sum, or turned over to the higher
courts, as the gravity of their offenses
necessitated.
As is usual most of the cases were
for drunk and disorderly. The eases
against Venas Bryan for assaulting
and stabbing Nick Panos. a Greek,
Saturday night, was eontinued owing
to the inability of both the accused
and the nlatnttff to appear. The case
against Peter Gesson, charged with
shooting Venas Bryan after he had
stabbed Panos was also continued.
ALL COMBATANTS
FINED BUT ONE.
•‘Modem Babylon” was presented In
mild form In Police Court yesterday
morning, when the principals In the
five cornered fight which took place
In Jones field Sunday morning between
negro women was called.
All wanted to explain at once, and
It was several minutes before order
could he restored, and the Recorder
could determine just who were the
guilty ones. Ella Jones and Rusle
Rady, two of the participants seemed
to be the most guilty and they were
fined $lO or thirty days each. Francis
Sherman was fined $:. or ten days and
the others were dismissed.

Frank Bryant waa bound over to
the Mupertor Court on two charges by
Recorder Myrtck yesterday. Bryant

by J. H. Whitman.
COMPANY LIMITATIONS
PLEASING TO OFFICERS.
Souie of (be Savannah Com pan le*
Have More Than Maximum.
The order issued yesterday from the
office of the Adjutant General of the
state in regard to 'the maximum and
minimum number of men to each com
pany is pleasing to most of the officers
ip Savannah.
The maximum number of men to the
company is placed at 50, and though
several of the Savannah companies
have more than that number, most of
the officers agree the order will benefit
■the various commands.
The Emmets, the Irish Jasper Greens
and some of the companies in the
Guards all have more than fifty enlisted
men now. Under the order the men
can serve until their enlistment expires,
but no new members can be taken in
until the number is reduced to less than
fifty.
The officers think the limitation
placed on the number of men will
cause an enlistment to be more highly
valued. When the men know that the
number is limited and that many are
waiting to take their places, 'their in
terest in the military will probably be
increased. It is thought some of the
companies will inaugurate “waiting
lists” to place the names of applicants
on.
GIRL RESCUEd’fROM
QUESTIONABLE PLACE.
Father Appealed to Police and Had
Her Restored to Her Home.
A girl who gives her age as 18
years, was taken from a house of ques
tionable character on Price, street at
noon yesterday by the police, at the
instance of her father.
Although the girl claims she is 18
years of age, her father says she is
but 16, and he appealed to the police
to assist him in having her restored
to her home on the West Side.
As soon as the superintendent of po
lice was notified that the girl, who
left home Saturday night, had been
located at a place on Price street,
conducted by Rosa Cohen, an officer
was sent to get her. She dodged the
officer, however, going out the back
way. The officer told 'the woman tvho
conducted the house that unless she
produced the girl when she returned,
she, too. would :be taken before the
superintendent.
Shortly after noon the officer was
notified that the girl was in the house.
At police headquarters she said she
would rather die than go back home.
She is rather slender, with dark hair
and dark eyes. She seemed to have
little idea of her position, but vehe
mently declared she would rather die
than return home, where she claimed
she was ill treated by her father. She
claimed she was whipped by her father
with a buggy whip, which he used in
his profession as a cab driver.
The girl was locked up until last
night, when the father called on the
superintendent of police, and in the
presence of the girl, held a confer
ence. He said this girl had not been
conducting herself properly, and when
he remonstrated with her she would
get mad and leave the house at night,
staying out until an unusual hour. He
admitted he had whipped her, but said
she had deserved a whipping.
After talking the matter over with
her hither, sister and brother, the girl
decided to go home with them, and
they all left the station house together.
WORKMAN CRUSHED UNDER
A PICE OF LUMBER.
Isaac Williams, a colored workman,
was seriously injured at the Atlantic
Coast Line yards yesterday morning
by a pile of lumber falling on him.
Together with several other work
men, Williams was re-stacking lumber,
when one of the piles toppled over.
His legs were caught beneath the fall
ing timber, and both were badly mash
ed. He was placed in the police am
bulance and carried to Dr. Clay’s of
fice, where his wounds were dressed.
No 'bones were broken.

COMRADE TELLS
OF WAR RECORD
OF VETERAN DEWITT BRUYN.
H. C. WELLS MAKES AFFIDAVIT IN
COURT OF ORDINARY.
Enlisted and Served With Mr. Brnyn
Until IS64—Sickness Prevented
Mr. Brnyn, Then a Lieutenant,
from Going With Comrades Into
Netv Company—Few Weeks Later
He Was Transferred—Seen in Serv
ice in Sonth Carolina in 1865.
At last a witness has been found
that practically establishes the accu
racy of the statement of Veteran De
witt Bruyn as to his war record.
This Is Veteran H. C. Wells, one of
the best known ex-Confederate soldiers
in the city. Mr. Wells filed his affi
davit in the Court of Ordinary yester
day and it now looks as though the
grant of pension will be secured.
Mr. Wells corroborates the story of
Veteran Bruyn in almost every detail.
In his sworn affidavit he states that in
1860 Mr. Bruyn enlisted in the Phoenix
Rifles and was stationed with them at
Fort Pulaski. About one year later,
or possibly more than a year, Mr.
Wells and Mr. Bruyn enlisted in an
other company of another regiment
and went to the front.
They served together in various di
visions of the Confederate army un
til 1864, when their company was con
solidated with another, both compa
nies having been so depleted by the
havoc of war that together they
scarcely formed an entire company.
Saw Him in 1865.
At the time of the consolidation Mr.
Bruyn, who had risen to the rank of
lieutenant, was sick and unable to
leave his bed. He bade farewell to his
brother officers and the men with
whom he had served, promising to
join them as soon as his health per
mitted. This promise he kept to the
letter.
A few weeks later Mr. Bruyn joined
his old company, in the new regiment,
but there was no officer’s position open.
He was then transferred to another
regiment, in order that his rank might
not be lost. With this regiment he
served until the end- of the war.
To make the record all the more
complete, Mr. Wells makefe affidavit
that in March of 1865 he was march
ing through South Carolina. In the
interior of the state he met Mr. Bruyn,
with a detachment of men. The two
old comrades recognized each other
and held a short conversation. Then
they separated, each to look after the
duty to which he was assigned.
This statement corresponds almost
exactly with the statements made by
Mr. Bruyn himself. He stated in his
application for pension that he was
mustered out of service at Chester, S.
Cj., in April 1865, a few weeks after
the surrender of Lee at Appomattox.
The testimony of Mr. Wells to the ef
fect that he was on a tour of duty in
March of 1865 seems to bear out the
statement of the applicant himself.
Letter to Commissioner.
This morning Mr. Joseph Molina,
clerk of the Count of Ordinary, will for
ward to Pension Commissioner Lind
sey the second application of Mr.
Bruyn, together w-ith the affidavit of
Veterans Wells and Mr. George N.
Nichols. With it will go the sworn
affidavit of the late Veteran T. N.
Theus, as found On Mr. Bruyn’s appli
cation for a Cross of Honor. The af
fidavit of Mrs. L. W. Dupont, to the
effect that Veteran Theus personally
stated to her he knew the record of
Mr. Bruyn will also be Inclosed In the
letter.
With the application will go clippings
from the Morning News, showing that
the prevailing sentiment in Savannah is
in favor of granting the pension. A re
quest will also be made on the pension
commissioner for a suspension of the
law regarding the time in which pen
sion applications must be filed. This
will be signed by Savannah veterans of
the highest standing, the officers of the
Savannah Chapter U. D. C. and prob
ably by the officers of the Bartow Camp
Sons of Veterans. A number of the
leading business men will also attach
their signatures to the letter.
Several business men of high stand
ing have notified the proper officers of
the Savannah Confederate societies
that they will contribute to the old
man’s support In case the pension is
not granted. This will insure him
against want until Mr. P. A. Stovall
can bring the matter to the attention
of the Legislature and ask for the
granting of a special pension, if the
application is again turned down.

COMMITTEE COMPLETES
TESTS OF BRICK.
Award of the Contract Has Not Been
Made, However.
The Streets and Lanes Committee
of Council has completed the brick
tests, which started several days ago,
by soaking the bricks in water.
Though the tests were finished no
award of the contract was made yes
terday. The award will doubtless be
made to-day or to-morrow and it is
thought the contract will be divided
between two of the four bidders.
The bricks showed up according to
the way the prices range. The highest
price brick stood the tests better than
the others and so on down to the low
est priced brick. The samples submit
ted by the Mack Manufacturing Com
pany of Philadelphia, price $1.37, stoofd
the tests best; the samples of the
Graves Shale Brick Company of Bir
mingham, price $1.03%, stood next
beqt; those of the Southern Clay
Manufacturing Company of Robbins,
Tenn., price 94.8 cents, next, and the
Georgia Vitrified Brick and Clay
Company of Augusta, price 89% cents,
next.
The Southern Clay Manufacturing
Company of Tennessee will probably
get most of the order and the Graves
Shale Brick Company of Birmingham
the balance. Fifty thousand square
yards of brick, or about 2,500,000
bricks, are to be bought.
FOOT PAINFULLY MASHED.
Dan, the 3-year-old son of Detective

mashed by being run over by a wagon
loaded with sand near West Broad and
Gaston streets yesterday morning. For
tunately the ground was soft and no
bones were broken.

Augusta, Ga„ Jan. 15, 1903.—P. p. p.
Cos., Savannah, Ga.: Gentlemen—l had
the worst case of blood poisoning ever
felt by any one. Three physicians In
Augusta gave me up. One said my
only hope was to have the leg cut off,
which had, they said, Incurable sores
from the foot to the thigh, and would
not yield to treatment, I had a pil
low for three months between my legs.
I could only walk with great difficulty.
I could not bend my leg on account of
the terrible sores, some as Jarge as
my hand, and full of matter. A ter
rible case of blood poisoning. Two and
a half bottles of your P. P. P„ Lipp
man’s Great Remedy, cured me com
pletely.
I am well now. and can walk as well
as ever, and eat and sleep, which for
months was impossible. P. p. p. is
truly a great remedy for blood poison
ing and old sores. (Hlgned) W. M. Rey
