Although both sides are claiming

PROPERTY DAMAGE At OVER A
MILLION DOLLARS DESTROYED
BY GALE AT CHARLESTON
WARNED OF STORM
Thought That Famous Island Cotton
Will Be Damaged-Wire COnnec-
tons Very Poor.

Savannah, Ga, Aug est is fear
ed that there has been loss of life in
the low lying territory adjacent to
Savannah as result of last nights
terrific storm, although there were
no fatalities in Savannah. There was
damage done here, however, to houses
shade streets and unprotected struc-
lures and the shipping in the harbor
did not suffer materially, the city be-
ing a few miles from the ocean. Am
pie warning had been received here of
the approaching storm and this ac-
counted for the comparatively small
damage to shipping.
The storm ragged all night, the wind
at times attaining a velocity of SO
miles an hour. Train schedules are
badly disarranged and wire communi-
cation is uncertain.
Couriers have been sent to the vii
lagos lying along the coast and to the
South to ascertain the conditions
there, but as the roads are almost
impossible it will be sometime before
any accurate information can be OBJ
tanned.
Somerville, S. c., Aug. 2S.-Five
lives were lost and porperty valued at
more than a million dollars in Char
lesion and it's immediate vicinity was
destroyed by a hurricane that swept
in from the ocean at 95 miles an hour
on Sunday. Great damage was done
to the shipping here and it is feared
that vessels off the coast, unable to
weather the storm, have been wreck
ed. For more than "a hours the city
of Charleston was practically isolated
and its inhabitants marooned while
the storm was at it's heighth. The
wind blew water over the seawall in
to the city until it was several feet
deep in nearly all the streets.
Much apprehension is felt for the
jewellers in the Sea Islands South of
here. These islands, on which is
raised the famous Sea Island cotton,
were exposed to the full force of the
hurricane. 1t will probably be some
time before any word reaches Char
lesion from those isolated spots as
the news must come by boat.
The storm began to assert itself late
Sunday afternoon. The day had been
very warm and the majority of people
had gone to two breathing spots for
whiff of salt air. The gale in
creased in intensity every hour and
soon the people were crowding the
trolley cars that run lengthwise of
the two islands in an effort to reach
the ferryboats to return to the main
land.

DAMAGING TESTIMONY GIVEN BY
COUSIN OF YOUNG vIRGINIAN
CHARGED WITH WIFE'S
DEATH
ADMITTED THE CRIME
Paul Beattie Told Alleged Wife Slayer
He Would Tell All He Knew and
He Did.

Chesterfield Court House, Va, Aug.
z6,-Late in this Sitting afternoon
while three hundred persons crowded
this tiny ancient room, built to seat
one hundred, Henry Clay Beattie Jr.,
On trial for his life, sat with a sheer
on his face watching his cousin, Paul
Beattie, testifying against him.
u. Paul, of the poor branch" Of the
family, had always been regarded as
an inferior person. Henry had many
times used him as an errand boy and
given him small sums of money. Paul
is at times subject to epilepsy. He is
physically weak, uncultered, in all out
ward ways far below the rich youth
who is charged with having slain his
wife for love of a prettier woman-the
much talked of Beulah Binford
Nothing new had come from the
cousins testimony He had told how
he had been commissioned by his COIL

its faces and foreheads, with handker-
chiefs and listened in bored sort of
way. States Attorney Louis Wenden-
berg droned along with questions

PENDANT nor his lawyers and excited
neither spectators nor jurors. They
had read all this stuff in newspapers.
It was ancient history.
"And so YOU went on the night OF
the tragedy to Beattie's house and
met hir9 on tie porch?" inquired
Wendenperg quietly. "And You said
to him quietly, Henry, this looks kind
of black for you Well, what did he
say in reply?'
81 wish to God l had not done 1t
as l wouldn't do it over again for
million dollars" that's what he said
SIR" replied Paul.
As they caught the first half of the
sentence everyone in the court room
stopped all motion as though suddenly
petrified. There was not wave OF a
fan or hat; not movement of a
handkerchief.
The boy prisoners face was as
white as paper; his fists doubled In a
conyulsive grip. His lawyers, the
Judge. Jurors, half started in their
\ seats. then halted in statue-hke
poses.
AS the last half of the sentence was
uttered the reaction came. There was
sound that is not quite descrloaoie

STRIKERS RIOT ANEW
Chicago Garment Workers Make
Trouble at Shops.

Rioting broke out anew in the fight
of $4,000 striking garments workers
against Hart, Shaffner & Marx and
others firms.
Following their two days recreation
and feasting, during which they dis
proved the statements of the employ
ers that their ranks are being thinned
by deserters, pickets manned the
shops of Hart. Shaffner & Marx more
thoroughly.
The first trouble during the morn
ing broke out near the factories Of
Hart, Shaffner &c Marx at North Wood
and Butcher streets. Here twelve pic
kets approached workers as they were
going into the factories. Private de-
tectives interfered and in minute
blows were struck. The arrival of
police from the Rawson street station
prevented any serious results No ar
rests were made

INDIANA BANK ROBBED
Burglars Learn Safes Combina-
ton; Secure Sc, 400.


The State bank of New Palestine,
Ind, a small town near Indianapolis,
was broken into and rified of $6,416
in cash. The door of the bank was
opened with a skeleton key.
The robbers knew the combination
of the safe. When the bank officers
arrived in the morning they found the
door open and papers scattered over
the floor. Not penny of the banks
deposits was left.
The burglars are supposed to have
left New Palestine on an Indianapolis
and Cincinnati traction handcar and
to have transferred the car from the
traction line to the Chicago, Hamil-
ton and Dayton railroad tracks, a
short distance from the town. The
finding of the hardcar near Irvington
indicates that the robbers came to
this city.
Cashier Henry Fraleich and his
daughter, the only persons knowing
the combination, are positive that the
safe was properly locked. There was
nothing to show how entrance to the
vault was gained

Relieves Mr.. Richardson
Of Possible Robbery

While coming toward this city along
the Causeway. in South Wilmington, in
his automobile on Sunday night, A. J..
Richardson. a grocer. at Fifteenth and

turning from Galena, Md, and had
just turned into the Causeway when a

he did, he noticed two young mel
standing in the middle of the road
with a lantern AS the car came up
the men stepped aside and both jump
ed on the car from the sides The one
who got on the right side of the car
stood there but the other struck a
basket Of pears on the step and he
fell into the road.
Mr. Richardson realized by this time
that something was wrong and he told
the man on the car to get on This he
refused TO do. Mr. Richardson then
drew his revolver and placing II
against the intruders head ordered
him to jump. This he did without
argument.
Mr.. Richardson reported the facts
