WILL NOT GIVE 1T UP.
Southern Banks Answer to the
Brush Company's Suit Filed.

The February term of the City Court
began yesterday morning. Judge Norwood
called the docket for the assignment of
cases, and quite a number were set for
trial during the term.
1t was the day for the filing of an
swers and pleas, and such papers came
into the court in abundance. AS a rule
an answer TO a suit denies the allega-
tons upon which the plaintiff relies to
make out his case. Others contain ex-
planatory paragraphs, depending on the
natures of the suits.
Messrs. Mercer & Mercer filed an an
swer for the defendant in the case of the
Brush Electric Light and Power Com
pany against the Southern Bank, in which
the ownership of fifty shares of stock in
the plaintiff company is disputed. The
defendants answer simply states that the
STOCK was sent to 1t in good faith by
George T. Hanchett of Hackensack, N. j..
ana that so far as is known to it, his
right to 1t is a legal right. The defend
ant, OF course, declines to give it up 1t
is SAID interrogatorieS are now being taken
in this case, and that will probably come
up for trial during the present term.
To the suit of George w. Owens against
Delaney & Zipf, the defendants have filed
an answer, stating that the petition shows
no ground for action against them.
In the suit of Anne T. Strobhar against
the Savannah Florida and Western Rail-
road Company, the defendant filed an an
swer denying generally all the allegations
of carelessness and negligence on its part
in the matter of the accident through
which her husband, Policeman Strobhar
was killed. A demurrer to the petition was
also filed.
Similar answers and demurrers were
filed in other suits, the principal feature
being the denial of liability on the parts of
defendants.

HUGE FOREST FIRE LOSS,
Tho Flames Did Millions Of Dollars
Damage In Wisconsin.


ST.. PAUL, Mimi, Oct, 3,--Tho 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,
81, Croix and Peak counties.
A very general destruction OF tele-
graph wires makes the reports very
incomplete, but IL seems the villages
OF Clayton, Alemena and Posltin 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 tho 500 line, west Of
Barron, was burned last night, and
trains are running by another route.
Fires have beon checked in places by
rains, and the subsidence OF the winds.
A rough estimate places the aggregate
loss at from 50, 900, 900 to 8S,Ooo,0Oo.

Fierce HURRICANE RAGING.
South Atlantic Coast Swept By a
Terrific Wind.
HEAVY LOSS OF LIFE FEARED,
Conditions Similar to Those That Pre-
vailed In IsO3-Rloo Crop Along tho
Savannah River Practically Doatroyod-
Damage to Shipping IL Considerable.

SAVANNAH, Ca, Oct a.-For eight
cen hours Savannah has been In the
grasp OF West Indian cyclone, Dur
Ing that time tho wind blew steadily
from fifty TO seventy miles an hour.
While the city escaped with com
paratiyoly little damage, the loss OF
property among the sea islands OF the
Georgia and South Carolina coasts Is
believed to DO heavy, For miles In
every direction around Savannah the
lowlands along the rivers are sub
merged, Only one fatality has 80 far
been rcported-the drowning OF n
negro while attempting to reach the
land from 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 1893
The conditions now are similar to
those during that storm Owing to
the submerged country and the iso'
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 a lake
with only the hummocks visible, At
noon the water was eight feet above
the highest tide, Driven on shore by
the northeast storm, 1t filled up on
tho 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 wlping out farm crops,
The loss TO rice growers alone will
be from $50, 900 to $4,000. OF the en-
tire rice crop along the Savannah
river, valued at $3.50, 900, all but about
i5 per cent was lost In this and the
preceding storm. The damage to
shipping Is considerable. The schoon-
or Governor Ames, which was on her
way to sea with cargo OF 100000
feet OF lumber, went adrift In the har-
Dor, but was secured safely. The
wharves at the quarantine station ut
the entrance to the river hero 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
wlre torn from their moorings and
driven into the marshes.
The extent to which the railroads
suffered Is not fully known. Tho
naval stores and cotton and lumber
yards of tho Plant system aro sub
merged, and tho tracks Of the Central
railroad Of Georgia and the Georgia g.
Alabama railroad around tho city are
covered.

KILLS aER MOTHERFOR LOVE
Strange Reason Given by a Pitts
burg Girl Murderess.
SHE WAS TIRED OF LIVING.
she Purposed Suicide and ibid Not Want
Her Mother to Fret Over Hor Death"
Therefore sho shoots Her Mother to
Death Makes bloody Work of Suicide.

PlITsDURG, Pa, Oct, .. - Bertha
Bielstein killed her mother yesterday
and later put four bullets into her own
body from the effects OF which she
cannot recover Tho only explanation
the girl has given for her terrible deed
were these words;
81 was tired OF life. II held no
pleasure for me. wanted TO die and
did not want my mother to live and
fret over my death. For that reason
/ killed her."
Tho crime, which was committed
some time In the early morning, was
not discovered until late In tho day,
when n son OF the murdered woman
came 10 the house TO SEQ 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 a 4s-caliber re-
volver. One shot had entered Mt the
right side OF the nose and had taken
a downward course through the neck
and had cut tho seventh cervicel ver-
tebra. 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 tho daughters
wounds convinced the physicians that
her death was question Of only
short time. A bullet from 8S-caliber
revolver had torn its 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 tho heart,
and she had also shot herself twice In
tho stomach with revolver Of 22-
caliber.
