Hattie smith and Then Kills Her- self—A Columbus Fx-Chilian Officer's Suicide. Jol\ocaust—An Salvation Army Trpgedy. : Omaua, Neb, Nuv. 10-—Just as the Salvation army forces, gathered here from lo Minnesota, the Dakotas and Nebraska in honor of La Marechale Booth-Clibborn, of Irance, and her brother commissioner, Ballington, Booth, commander of the army in this country, were pri ring t» parade at 6 o'clock last evening, Nettie Beidler, a private in the ranks, shot and mortally wounded Capt. Ilattie Smith, of Oska- loosa, Ia., and a moment later turned the revolver on herself and fell deadon the pavement. The motive for the territ double | crime was a queer combination of jeal- | ousy and semi-religious frenzy. The, tragedy occurred while the bell of the headquarters was ringing and the sound of the shots notes of the the army The murderes asshe was standing on the conversing with Capt Marshalltown, la. Without speaking, | she drew wa revolver from beneath the folds of her dress and fired. s heard above the } nade by | nd the ne Almost | simultaneously with the crack of the | pistol came the shrick of pain from the | wounded Capt. Smith, und she and | Capt. Wallace started to sun down the | street, | Evidently fearing the bullet had not | reached a vital spot, the crazed woman followed her flee victim a few steps and fired again ‘Tne ball ently went wide of the mark, as, even as the woman leveled the revolver, the wound- ed captain reeled and fell i Without waiting to see the effect of her second shot, the murderess placed the muzzle of her weapon to her right temple and pressed the tr ra third time. i muffled report followed and with a heavy plunge forward the body of Nettie Beidler sank lifeless to the , gutter, blood and } ns gushing from a ghastly hole in her forehead. Not twenty feet away lay Captain Smith unconsciously moaning, a crim- son flood dying bright red the folds of her uniform, while from her lips blood gushed forth with every convulsive movement. All this happened so quickly that not ahand could be raised to prevent o¢ stay the commission of the awful deed. As she lay on the bed rapidly sinking toward death, Captain Smith spoke a few words concerning the deed and its motive, She said she hal sought to induce Miss Beidler to join the army while stationed at Council LBluils some thirty days ago. On coming to Omaha Miss Beidler sought her out and with » great show of affection told her she | loved her. On several occasions Miss | Beidler sought to occupy the attention of the captain to the exclusion of all others. A Colambus Cotumuus, 0., Nov terday morning a row of* cheap frame | buildings on North Hish street were destroyed by fire. At 5 o'clock last evening the firemen found the remains | of human beings and began a thorough | investigation and soon tive bodies were taken out and removed to the coroner's office. It seems an entire family was burned, and this explains why the dead were | not missed. ‘The bodies are those of a little boy of 2, a girl of 4, another girl of 6.and the father ad mother, named Betheard. The fire occurred at 4 o'clock in the morning and neither the firemen nor | the police knew anything of the loss of life until their attention was called to the fact by a lady friend of the burned family. The father was found on the floor with. his oldest daughter in his arms. ‘They were both burned to a crisp. Mrs. Betheard, the mother, was lying partially on the bed and partially on | the floor and looked as if death had | overtaken her in her efforts to reach | the tleor, Her body was perfectly | nude and her back was in a horrible | condition. It appeared as if all of her clothing had been burned off and her | flesh cooked by the tlames Following Balmaceda. New Yorn, Nov. 14—Cable dis- patches to the Herald from paraiso, Chili, say: It is reported that Pedro | V. Gandarillas has shot and killed him- | self at his hiding place on a farm inthe | mountains in the vicinity of Santiago. | He was RBalmaceda’s minister of agri- | culture in the first cabnet formed by | the dictator. The military tribunal to-day sen- | | | tenced ten of the officers of Balmaceda’s army t> banishment for five years aad a day. Two Chiklzen Burned. TuHompsoa, . Nov. i5,—Washing- | tonand Jane West left home early in the morning to begin their day’s work, leaving their two children, a boy of 2) or 3 years of age and a girl baby some | old in the house and locking | The cries of the children at- tracted attention, when it was discov- | ered that the house was on fire, and al- | though some citizens were near by the flames had gained too great headway to rescue the children. The fire de- partment responded promptly and soon | cooled the fire so that the charred and | burned bodies of the two children | could be taken out. Baroness von Waldersee Dead. Panis, Nov. 15.—The Gaulois an-! nounces the death of the Baroness von | Waldersee, morganatic wife of Louis, duke of Bavaria.
