KILLS HER MOTHERFOR LOVE
Strange Reason Given by Pitts
burg Girl Murderess.
SHE WAS TIRED OF LIVING.
She Purposed Suicide and did Not Want
Her Mother to Fret Over Her Death"
Therefore She Shoots Her Mother to
Death-Makes Bloody Work OF Suicide.

PIITsBURG, Pa, Oct. 3. - Bertha
Bielstein killed her mother yesterday
and later put four bullets into her own
body from the effects of which she
cannot recover. The only explanation
the girl has given for her terrible deed
were these words:
II was tired of life. 1t held nc
pleasure for me. wanted to die an6
did not want my mother to live and
fret over my death. For that reason
killed her."
The crime, which was committed
some time in the early morning, was
not discovered until late in the day,
when son of the murdered woman
came to the house to see his mother.
He went to her room and found her
body cold in death. A bullet wound
at the right side of the nose told the
story. The bed was covered with
blood and there was every indication
that death had ensued some hours be-
fore.
In room adjoining that of the
mother the son found the body of his
sister. She was lying in a pool of
blood, and in her right hand was
clutched revolver, the implement of
destruction. An examination of Mrs.
Beilstein showed that she had been
shot three times with n 4s-caliber re-
volver. One shot had entered at the
right side of the nose and had taken
a downward course through the neck
and had cut the seventh cervicel YER
zebra. This, the physicians say, must
have caused instant death. Another
shot had entered the right breast and
the third had passed through the right
groin.
An examination of the daughters
wounds convinced the physicians that
her death was a question of only
short time. A bullet from 3S-caliber
revolver had torn it's way through the
right temple, and had passed out at
the top of the head. From both the
entrance and exit of the wound the
brains were oozing. A bullet from
the same sized revolver had been fred
into her left breast near the heart,
and she had also shot herself twice in
the stomach with u revolver of g.
caliber

MuRDERERS LIE IN AMBUSH.
Four of shorin's Sale Party Killed.
Outright.


MURTEEsBoRo, Tenn, Oct. 3,-An
awful tragedy has occurred in the
north portion of Cannon county, about
thirty miles east of this city, in which
five men are reported to have been
savagely assassinated.
John Hollingsworth killed man by
the name of Higgins in that county
something over a year ago A suit
was brought against IIollingsworth
and judgment taken against him by
the members of Higgins family for
S.,
Saturday there was to be an auction
sale of his property to satisfy this
judgment, and Hollingsworth, 1t ia
stated, knowing that that was the day
for the sale, concealed himself and
several of his friends in large barn
on the place where the sale was to be-
When the party of men came to
carry out the proceeding and had gath
cred in the barn, Hollingsworth and
his friends fred into them with double
barrel shotguns, killing four men and
wounding another so badly that he
will hardly recover.
Excitement is running very high.
The men who were killed are of the
most prominent people of this section.
The sheriff and posse are now in pur'
suit of Hollingsworth and his party.

FIERCE HURRICANE RAGING.
South Atlantic Coast Swept BY a
Terrific Wind.
HEAVY LOSS OF LIFE FEARED.
Conditions Similar to Those That Pre-
vailed In 1303-Rlce Crop Along the
savannah River Practically Destroy Cd
Damage to shipping Is Considerable

SAVANNAH, Ca, Oct. '3.-For eight
cen hours Savannah has been in the
grasp of West Indian cyclone. Dur
ing that time the wind blew steadily
from fifty to seventy miles an hour.
While the city escaped with com
paratively little damage, the loss OF
property among the sea islands OF the
Georgia and South Carolina coasts is
believed to be heavy. For miles in
every direction around Savannah the
Iowlands along the rivers are sub
merged. Only one fatality has so far
been reported-the drowning OF a
negro while attempting to reach the
land from a small island, near Thun-
derbolt-but heavy loss of life is feared
on the South Carolina sea islands,
where such fearful loss of life occurred
during the great tidal 2torm of 1898.
The conditions now are similar to
those during that storm. Owing to
the submerged country and the lso-
lated location of the islands, no news
can be had from them until the water
subsidies. For eight miles north OF
Savannah the entire country is lake
with only the hummocks visible. At
noon the water was eight feet above
the highest tide. Driven on shore by
the northeast storm, it filled up on
the islands, swept over banks and
DAMS carrying away the remnant of
the rice crop that was left by the
August storm and had not been gath
cred, and wiping out farm crops.
The loss to rice growers alone will
be from $50, 900 to 1000. OF the en-
tire rice crop along the Savannah
river, valued at $3.50, 900, all but about
Is per cent was lost in this and the
preceding storm. The damage to
shipping is considerable. The schoon-
err Governor Ames, which was on her
way to sea with cargo OF 1,5o0, 900
feet of lumber. went adrift in the har-
Dor, but was secured safely. The
wharves at the quarantine station at
the entrance to the river here were
partially carried away. The quaran-
tine officer and his family and servants
were rescued by tug. -Four vessels
which were at anchor at the station
were torn from their moorings and
driven into the marshes.
The extent to which the railroads
suffered is not fully known. The
naval stores and cotton and lumber
yards of the Plant system are sub
merged, and the tracks of the Central
railroad of Georgia and the Georgia g.
Alabama railroad around the city are
covered.

HUGE FOREST FIRE LOSS.
The Flames Did Millions of Dollars
Damage In wisconsin.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Oct. 3.-The forest
fires which have been burning in
various places throughout Western
Wisconsin for the past few days were
famed into furious storms of fame by
yesterdays winds, and did great dam
age through Chippewa, Barron, Dunn,
st. Croix and Peak counties.
A very general destruction of tele-
graph wires makes the reports very
incomplete, but it seems the villages
Of Clayton, Ale1nena and Poskin have
been wholly or partly destroyed; that
Cumberland has suffered heavy losses,
and that Glenwood, Barron, Prentice,
Phillips and Turtle Lake were saved
only by great efforts. Reports Of loss
of life are coming in, but have not
been verified, except in one instance.
A railroad bridge and trestle over
700 feet long, on the 500 line, west OF
Barron, was burned last night, and
trains are running by another route.
Fires have been checked in places by
rains, and the subsistence of the winds.
A rough estimate places the aggregate
loss at from SO, 900, 900 to S., 100000

KY, on September Is, 1873, and was
famous for her beauty. Her first ap-
pearance on the stage was with Rob

made her first appearance in one OF
Hoyt's productions in "A Temperance
Town" 1t was during this engage
ment that she became acquainted with
Mr.. Hoyt, whom she married on
March 4, 1894 She retired from the
stage at that time, permanently, it
was said, but returned last year In one
of her husbands plays, "a Contented
Woman"
She was Mr.. Hoyt's second wife.

NEGROES DRIVEN FROM TOWN.
Pana, Ill, Strikers Go to Washington, Ind,
and Round Up Colored Miners.

Pana, ALL, Strikers 90 To washington lhu'
and Round Up Colored Miners.
WASHINGTON, Ind, Oct. 3.-This city
is in great state of excitement. One
hundred and fifty coal miners from
Pana, ILL.,, came here yesterday after
noon and met at the fair grounds with
the home union miners and organized.
At 10 o'clock last night they got to-
gether and, masked, visited all the
shacks where the colored coal miners
lived. About fifty of the negroes were
corralled and at the points of pistols
were driven out of town.
One negro refused to go and the
miners fred on him. He has not been
found and may be killed. The police
could do nothing.
One policeman, Anderson Cannon,
went up to the whole mob and de-
manded of them to dispense. They an
swered by leveling their pistols at
him..
The masked miners took the town.
Chief of Police Call turned in the fire
alarm and called out the citizens to as
sist in keeping order. Several are
deputized, and if there is new out
break of trouble much bloodshed is
likely to result.

has been assassinated," he said last
night. 81 have received no confirma-

in general circulation here that the
Canadian commissioners have de-
manded a cession of territory in
Alaska, including the towns of Dyea
and Skagway in return for fishing
concessions on the New Foundland

a meeting of the leading merchants to
investigate the report. If found to
have any foundation strong protest
will be made against the cession OF
any Alaska territory.
