SENSATIONAL SUICIDE.
Edward BeiIsteiu Killed Himself on ais
Mothers Grave.

Pittsburg, Pa, Nov. H.-Edward
Beilstein, brother of Bertha Beilstein,
who killed her mother and attempted
to kill herself, six weeks ago, added
another chapter to the tragedy which
surrounds the family by killing him
self last night on the grave of his
mother. His body was found at Z
o'clock this morning, cold and stiff,
and beside it was note, which indi-
Gated that he had committed suicide.
There were no marks of violence on
the remains, and the inference is that
Beilstein took poison, and then lay
down to die on the grave of his mother.
The Beilstein family was wealthy,
and occupied prominent position in
German social circles on the north side.
A little over year ago. j. f. Bell
stein, the father, died after an illness
Of few hours. Six weeks ago yester-
day morning, Bertha shot her mother
| to death, and inficting four wounds
on herself with revolver. She is. still
| living, but cannot recover, her physi-
clans say. Within "a hours after her
attempt to kill herself, David Reich,
who lived with the family, laid himself
| on the Fort Wayne tracks, in Lower
| AlIegheny, in front Of an approaching
train, and was killed. Now the brother
has added to the list of tragedies by
| taking his own life.

LIEUT.. J,REsEI 4 sQICiDE.
Took Hia Life Early Monday Morning mt tn
Carroilton Hotel, IN Baltimore.


Baltimore, Md, Nov. 14.-Lieut.
Herman G. Dresel of the United States
navy committed suicide in the Carroll
ton Hotel shortly after l o'clock this
morning, by shooting himself in the
head. From papers found on his body,
it is surmised that he killed himself
because he had been ordered to Manila,
to join the United States steamer
Zafiro. g..
Lieut.. Dresel, it is thought, arrived
here this morning, and went to the
Carrollton. He did not register, but,
after lingering about the lobby for a
short time, proceeded to the toilet room,
and locked the door. Almost immedi-
ately, a pistol shot alarmed thu en-
ployes Of the house, and a search re-
vealed the fact that Dresel was dead.
In one of the pockets of his coat,
was found an order from Secretary OF
the Navy Long, dated November 18th,
detaching Dresel from the United
States steamer Essex, and ordering him
to go to San Francisco, from which
point he was to proceed 10 Hongkong,
and thence to Manila, to join tLs
Zafiro. A telegram addressed to Lieut..
G. H. Falcs. in Washington, and signed
by Dresel, which was also on the dead
man, requested Fales to exchange orders
with the writer.

Large Part OF Csuoosbnrg. Pa. Burned Oh
Monday.

Monday.
Canonsburg, Pa, Nov. la.--This town
was visited this morning by furious
fire, which wiped out fully one-third OF
the business portion, two OF the princi-
pal hotels and many dwellings, and did
damage estimated at sl50. 900. The
section devastated includes West Pike
street and Jefferson avenue. The flames
were first discovered in the dwelling OF
Reed Adams. Tho following places
were burned: Governs carriage works,
Cochin e. MoEwin's furniture ware
rooms, three dwellings occupied by Mr..
Melvin, w. Il. Fulton and II.
Ingram, Willer & Sons livery stable,
Michael Egan's dwelling, W. P. Full
tons livery stable, Weller & Sons store
building, the Manufacturers Natural
Gas building, +. T.. Beakel's restaur-
ant, the Commercial Hotel, McNary Il
Kennedy's livery stable, the Canons-
burg hotel, the City Council buildings
and Mcdowell & Dixon's lumber yard.
The approximate insurance is $50, 600.
All the buildings but one were frame,
and burned like finder. The volunteer
fire department, with bucket brigades,
could make no Roadway, and the tsle-
phone operator had barely time to ask
for aid from Washington and Pittsbure
| before being driven from the building
by the flames. The guests at the hotel:
and the people in the dwellings saved
some of their valuables.
| During the progress of the fire thieves
reaped a rich harvest in the west enc
| of the town. After the fire, dozen Of
more families found their homes TORI
upside down, almost everything port
| able being carried away.

evidence to sustain the application IL
he had any to offer.
Mr.. Hawkins expressly disclaimed
any imputation of fraud OF Intentional
unfairness on the part Of. the detection
officers, but said that tho election
officers themselves desired the court to
pass upon the irregularity Of markings
on the rejected ballots.
The Democratic election judge, III.
A. Reik, was called and testified that
the election officers had used their
best Judgment in rejecting the ballots.
and had done SO because they could
not ascertain from them the intention
of the voter, and did not consider them
legal ballots, owing to the markings
that in the case of only one ballot had
he differed from the majority Of the
board, and in that case he thought il
came within ruling under which
they had let one in marked like it.
The Republican judge, William M.
Prouse, and Thomas B. Draper, the
inspector, testified substantially to the
same effect, and all three agreed that
they had bundled up the ballots sep,
arately, with the idea that the cour'
might pass upon them if it saw fit. NJ
other evidence was offered.
Chancellor Nicholson announced as
the decision of the court that it wa:
not the function of the court to oper
| the ballot boxes and review and regisi
the action OF the election officers when
| as in the case before it,it was admitted
| that the election officers had used thei
best Judgment upon matter com
| mitted to them by the law, and haS
| decided as fairly as they knew how
That it was not the intention Of tn
statute that the court should review
whenever asked, every determination
OF election officers to ascertain whethe
they had erred, but that it SHOULD
open the ballot boxes only when ther
was some evidence of fraud, or Of mis-
| take in the accepted legal meaning @
the word mistake used in such con
nection.
The count then proceeded withou
further protest, and was soon completed

Key West, Fla, Nov. 14.--Private
reports from Puerto Principe and Neu-
vitas, Cuba, say that 1000 regular. sol
diers mutinied, demanding their pay,
before embarking for Spain. About
1900 armed soldiers, the reports add,
presented themselves in front of the
palace, calling on the military COVER
nor, Emilio March, for their overdue
pay. Thereupon Gen. March drew his
sword, and ordered them to disband.
The soldiers, however. refused to obey,
and some of them, armed with loaded
rifles, threatened the life Of Gen.
March, who returned his sword TO its
scabbard, crying out: "Do you wish
to kill me? Well, kill me-" The sol
diers, in reply, shouted No., no; we
only want our pay before embarking for
Spain.
Gen. March promised Them that they
would be paid, and the soldiers re-
turned to their quarters peaceably.

days ago, with S150, 900, with which to
