12 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 JUSTIFIABLE ASSAULT. Will Be Tried Before Recorder for Cutting E. L. Blanchard. R. L. Easom will answer to the charge of assaulting E. L.

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. BUILDING INSPECTOR APPROVES BLEACHERS. Inspector Bartlett Says Stand* nt Bnll Park Are All Blrcht. City Building Inspector Henry Bart lett Inspected the new stands at the Bolton Street Park yesterday and pronounced them safe, but ordered that additional boards be placed on the seats, so there will be no danger when the crowds cheer and stamp their feet. The stands have been divided into sections, six feet in width, and In this space three seats are to be numbered. AH of the seats will be sold by coupon, and as there is already a large demand for select points of observation, those who Intend witnessing the game Thursday should get their tickets in advance.

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. Pltr.SHIM* Ctl II IMIY IIKI.It. Frank Bryant waa bound over to the Mupertor Court on two charges by Recorder Myrtck yesterday. Bryant was accused of appropriating rloihirig with which he waa entrusted us de livery leo fur a preaaing club operated 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. APPOINTED COMMITTEE TO MOVE INFIRMARY. At a meeting of the advisory com mittee of the South Side Administra tion Club last night a committee was appointed to take up the fight for the removal of the Georgia Infirmary. This is committee will request Council at the meeting Wednesday night to ap point a committee to confer with the trustees of the Infirmary. The County Commissioners will be requested to call a special meeting and appoint a con tinued until the Infirmary is moved. GRAND THUNK DOUBLY HONORED. Awarded Two Gold Medals at World's Kafr. St. Lonla. The Grand Trunk has been notified by the superior jury of the World’s Fair there exhibit in the Fish and Game Building, has been award ed two gold medals. These are given under two classifications in the fish ing and hunting groups.

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.

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.
