KILLS WOMAN AND THEN SELF.
Charles Tyndall Commits and Suicide.
P
Murder
Well-Known lo Amliler, Where lie Resided Several Yciirs Ago—Married Sarah Mnrsh nnd Had One Child- Facts oftlie Tragedy.
Charles Tyndall, of Wilmington, Del., formerly a resident in Ambler for several years, la,st Wednesday afternoon shot and instantly killed Mrs, Olara Newcomb, of that city, and then sent two bullets iuto his own brain, dying almost instantly. It is believed tho woman refused liis ad vances to elope with him.
Tyndall canio originally from Dela¬ ware, but for sonic years worked on Lindenwold farms, and while here re¬ sided in the family of .lolin Marsh, marrying the latter's daughter, Sarah, They havo one child, a dangl-.ter.
The family moved away from Amb¬ ler several years ago, and trace of the Tyndalls was lost to local parties. It is very probable, however, that donies- itic unhappiness caused a separation and that Tyndall was liviug aloue iu Wilmington. He had evidently gone to Mrs. Newconib's house for the pur¬ pose of inducing the woman to leave her homo and elope with him. In the meantiuK! Mrs. Kato Beauchnnip, the mother of tho woniau, arrived and be¬ gan questioning the daugliter about the presence of Tyndall. While this conversation was going on the man (suddenly appeared to become angry, and, drawing a revolver, shot the woman twice in the breast. The woman fell dying iuto the arms of her mother.
As soon as he realized what he had done, Tyndall turned the revolver to liis owu head, and, shooting two bul¬ lets direct into his brain, fell into a pool ot blood ou the floor aud died in¬ stantly. Tlie police were notified, but there was uothing they could do, as the parties directly interested were dead. The body of Tyndall was taken to the morgue.
Clement Newcomb, the husband of the woman, was summoned from his work at the plaut of the Lea Mill¬ ing company, and was almost prostrat¬ ed when he learned the uews. He knew nothing of Tyndall having en¬ deavored to get his wife to elopo. Tho police claim that T3-ndall has been annoying Mrs. Newcomb for some time. He frequeutly threatened to kill her if she did not leave her husbaud and go witli hini, but she evidently did not regard tho matter seriously.

I The North Hills Country club is the uew name adopted by the organiza¬ tion formerly knowu as thu Ktlge Hill Country club, at a met'ting of the members. Although the golf links and house of the club are situated at Edge Hill station on the Reaeling railroad, tho change of name w.is determined becau.se it is in no sense a local organi¬ zation. Its members aro residents of Mt., Airy', Jenkintowu, Germantown, Wyncote, Elkins Park, Oak Lane, Glenside, Ambler aud otlicr suburbs in the hills north of Philadelphia, so that tho name. North Hills Couutry club, is ])eculiarly appropriate.
Maey jilans for iui]irovenient and ex¬ tension were mado at tho meeting. A charter has been apjilied for, and ap¬ plicatiou will ho made for admission to the Pliiladelpliia Golf association. The membership of tho olub, now more than 12,"), is fast increasing, abont CO applications being in tho hands of the membership committee,
Frank J, Sheble, of Mt, Airy, is president of the North Hills Couutr.y club ; Georgo W. Long, of Elkins Park, is vico president, and Allau D. Wallis, of Wyncoto, is chairmau of the mem¬ bership committee.

Uoy Sent to Kefuge,
At a sessiou of juvenile court Juilge, Swartz and Weand were obliged to dispose of the case of a one armed prisouer, when they committed Thonias Reginald Thockmorton, aged 14 years, to the Iiouse of refuge.
Tho lad, who resides with his jiarents, on the Sandy Hill roud iu Plymouth township, had been charged with in¬ corrigibility by his father. At the hearing the jiarent, Joseph Thock¬ morton, testified that he had placed the boy in varions schools and institutions in order that he might secure au edocatiou. All his efforts had boeu mado in vain, however, as tho boy repeatedly ran away from tliese scliool and ho had refused to learn. As a last resort the fatlier had called the court's attention to the boy's case.
Thomas,who lost his right arm some years ago, had uotliing to say during the proceedings. He apjieared like a bright boy and ho seemed quite large for his years.
