MORTALLY WOUNDS HERSELF TIRED OF LIFE AND WANTED TO | DIE. | But Did Not Wish the Mother to Live and Fret Over Her Fate, So She Concluded to Kill Her. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. PITTSBURG, Oct. 2.—Bertha Beil- stein killed her mother to-day and later put four bullets into her own body, from the effects of which she cannot recover. | she says, The only explanation the girl has given for her terrible deed was in these | : “I was tired of life; it held no | pleasure for me. I wanted to die and | did not want my mother to live and fret | over my death. For that reason I killed | her.” The crime, which was committed some time in the early morning, was was not discovered until late in the day, when a son of the murdered woman came to the house and found | the mother's body in her room cold in | death. The bed was covered with blood there was every indication that h had ensued some hours before. In an adjoining room was found the body of the murderess, lying in a pool of blood, and in her right band was clutched a revoiver. Mrs. Beilstein had been shot three times. One shot had entered at the right side of the nose, taken a downward course through the neck and had cut the seventh cervicle vertebrae. Another shot had entered the right breast and groin. A bullet had torn its way through the | young woman's 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. Another bullet had entered her left breast near the heart and she had shot herself twice tion of only a short time. During a period of consciousness she told of the murder. She said she went into the room with the revolver in h hand. and knowing what the to hi shock mother would be concluded that death | to her would be preferable to sufferings | on earth.

K Special Dispatch to The Call. MANILA, Oct. 2.—The National As- sembly at Malolos, at a recent sitting, voted Aguinaldo a civil list of $75,000, but Aguinaldo declined to receive any thing until the army should have been paid. An attempt was made by Pa- lerno, the Speaker of the House, to have inserted a clause granting him an allowance because of his officé but the proposal was rejected. The Assembly is now engaged in discussing the con- stitution. The Spanish community is telegraph- ing to Madrid in an endeavor to secure the enforcement of the release of pris- oners. Personal investigations made in the provinces emphasize the determina- tion of the insurgents to obtain a spe- cific guarantee of favorable terms be- fore releasing the prisoners now in their hands, and it is certain that they will | never cheaply relinquish their dearly | bought conquests. Everywhere is seen evidences of ap- U | palling struggles. Popular opinion fa- vors autonomy, which it is generally expected will be established. The peo- ple rather distrust the Americans, who, beginning to realize this fact, sent the cruiser Raleigh to the northwestern ports for the purpose of showing the | American flag and making friends with | the natives. The cruiser’s officers en- | deavored to arrange an interchange of | hespitalities, but the natives at first were unwilling to visit the ship unless hostages were landed. However, friend- ly feeling was established and the na- tives were agreeably surprised at the American attitude. A sanitary board, with an American at its head, has been established here. A corps of physicians are superintend- ing sanitary work in all the districts of the city and vicinity. AGUINALDO MAY BE DIFFICULT TO DEAL WITH NEW YORE, Oct. 2.—A special cable to the World from Marseilles says that General Merritt, who arrived there to- day on his way to Paris, referring to Aguinaldo, said: “He may be difficult to deal with unless his advisers use thefr influence discreetly.” “Does Admiral Dewey share your views of Aguinaldo?” “I cannot speak for Admiral Dewey. 1 express my own opinions only, though I have no reason to suppose that the admiral would disapprove of what I have said.” “Do you consider the insurgents fit for self-government?” “I doubt it under the present condi- tions. Permanent forces in the Philip- pines must be relied upon to support a stable government.” NINETY-FOUR INSURGENTS KILLED BY SPANIARDS ts to 0- in | m ts of Te 0- re 0- 0- IEEREE R R TR R EREREERERRERSE.] HIS ARMY PAID “| MADRID, Oct. 2—A dispatch re- says that the Tagels have landed in the Antiga province and have been com- pletely defeated by the Spanish column after a sharp fight in which ninety- four of the insurgents were killed. GREAT EXPECTATIONS OF THE MADRID PRESS Affect to Believe the United States Will Make All Sorts of Concessions. MADRID, Oct. 2—The conciliatory and cordlal spirit shown by the delegates to the Paris conference has produced a fa- vorable impression. The newspapers af- fect to believe that the United States, be- sides respecting Spain in the Philippines, will also allow Spain to have a share in the settlement of the new regime in Cuba. Inspired articles assert that Spain will undertake to carry out the promised uarantee of the Cuban debts only until uba_herself is able to pay the interest and sinking fund. A dispatch to the Tmparelal from Parls declares that both the Spanish and American commissions have been in- structed to act ad referendum. — e SLAIN BY HIS PARTNER.

BUILDINGS LEVELED BY ATWISTER A Terrific Whirlwind Near Stockton. CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE DONE HURRICANE RESEMBLING THE KANSAS VARIETY. Houses and Barns Reduced to Kind- ling, Trees Uprooted and the Soil Denuded of Its Vege- tation. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. STOCKTON, Oct. 2.—A terrific whirl- wind moving in the form of a funnel- shaped cloud swept a path from sixty to one hundred feet wide just north of | the city at noon to-day. It was a small | and decidedly lively chunk of the genu- | ine Kansas cyclone, and its movements | were in every particular like the terrors | of the Mississippi Valley. It was ac-| companied by peals of thunder and fol- | lowed by a heavy rain. The swiftly re- | volving wind tore along in a north and | easterly direction, sweepingz houses, | barns, outbuildings, fences and even animals from its path. Strange to re- late, so far as known, not one human | being was injured. | The cyclone came from the northwest and traveled southeast until just north and east of the city, when it took a more southerly course. It advanced at| a deliberate speed estimated by wit-| nesses to not be over six or seven miles | an hour. It seemed to bound from the | earth and then, returning, snatch up whatever it chanced to alight upon and | tear it to pieces. | The men at Henry Armbrust’s winery | who happened to be in the vineyard | saw the funnel-shaped cloud approach- ing and heard the roaring sound accom- panying it long before it reached their place. It swooped down into a field, tore up clods, turf and sticks, bounded over the rural cemetery without touch- ing it and descended on the winery buildings. The roof of the packing- house, a large sheetiron area weighing many tons, was lifted as a piece of pa- per and torn and twisted. A straw stack protected by a shed was lifted, covering and all, and scattered like dust. A coop containing a lot of chickens was carried bodily away and neither the fowls nor the cage have been found. A horse standing in the corral was lifted from the ground and thrown over the fence, landing against & shed which | had escaped destruction. After these antics the cyclone seemed | to split in twain. One part passed south of Armbrust’s place, and the other further to the east. The latter seemed to be as furfous as the original zephyr.. It struck the corner of the Armbrust dwelling, carried away the porch and tore out the corner of the building. The two sections of the whirl- wind then slowly converged, combining again at the Gambetta place. Here the damage was great. The house was literally torn to kindling- wood. No two boards were left nailed together. The outbuildings were left untouched. At the Young place, a mile south of Gambetta’s a patch 100 feet in width was mowed through the peach orchard. The trees were torn up by the roots and twisted to pieces in the air. A section of the fence was taken out and depos- jted in a large oak tree, a half-mile away. The wind jumped from the Young place, a distance of nearly a mile. It again struck in a fleld and passed on into the open country, nar- rowly missing Collegeville. At Simon Moore’s, immediately north | of here, shingles were ripped from the | barn roof and crates and boxes were | scattered all over an adjoining vine- | yard. | At Philip Broschi’s a new 22-foot| wirdmjll was ruined, and buildings | damaged. Loss, $400. At Adams’ dairy a barn was demol- ished and trees uprooted. The tornado passed through Fair Oaks, an eastern addition, where roofs and windows suffered greatly. pe s e R Succumbs to Chloroform. CHINO, Oct. 2.—FElmer Howlett, an en- gineer on the Chino road, died this after- noon from the effects of chloroform | which had been glven him preparatory to performing an operation on his foot. It is thought the chloroform affected his heart and caused his death, as he was in an apparently healthy condition before it was administered, with the exception of an ulcerated toe, which threatened blood poisoning.

HEAVY LOSS OF LIFE‘FEARED“ COUNTRY SUBMERGED AROUND SAVANNAH. 5 It Is Probable That Many Persons - Perished in Small Islands Adjacent to the Main- and. Special Dispatch to The Call. SAVANNAH, Ga., Oct. 2.—For four~ teen hours, from 3 o’clock this morning until 6 o’clock to-night, Savannah has been in the grasp of a West Indian tor- nado. During that time the wind blew steadily from fifty to seventy miles an hour. While the city escaped with comparatively little damage the loss of property among the sea islands of the Georgia and South Carolina coast is believed to be very heavy. 2 Only one fatality has so far been re- ported—the drowning of a negro while attempting to reach the land from.a small island near Thunderbolt—but heavy loss of life is feared on the South Carolina sea islands, where such fear- ful loss of life occurred during the great tidal storm of 1893. Tne conditions now are similar to those during that storm. Owing to the submerged country and the isolated location of the islands no news can be had from them until the water subsides. For miles north of Savannah the en- tire country is submerged. At noon the water was eight feet above the high- est tide. Driven on shore by the north- east 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 gathered, and will destroy crops. The loss to rice growers alone will be from $50,000 to $75,000. The rice crops along the Savannah River, valued at $100,000, were lost in this storm. The damage tco shipping is consider- able. The schooner Governor Ames, which was on her way to sea with a cargo of 1,500,000 feet of lumber, went adrift in the harbor, but was secured safely. The wharves at the quarantine station at the entrance to the river har- bor were partially carried away. Four vessels which were at anchor at the station were torn from their mdor- ings and driven into the marshes. Three of these were the British schooner Syanara, bound for St. John, N. B.; the American schooner Milleville, for Milleville, N. J.; the Fanny L. Child, for Boston, all lumber laden, and the Italian bark Franklin. How badly these vessels are damaged is unknown. No news has been received from Tybee since early in the morning and nothing is known of the damage there. In some suburbs of Savannah all the boat houses on the banks and hundreds of small boats were carried away. The extent to which the railways suffered is not fully known. The naval stores and cotton and lumber yards of the Plant system are submerged and the tracks of the Central Railroad of Georgia and the Georgia and Alabama, Railroad around the city are covered. The north bound express on the F. C. and P. R. R., due here from Florida at noon, has not yet arrived. Telegraph wires are down and the condition of the railroad tracks is unknown. The tele- phone, police, light and fire alarm wires are down and the city is in darkness. On Hutchinson’s Island, opposite Sa- vannah and separating the city from the South Carolina shore, there were many negro families rescued by boats from the revenue steamers Tybee and Boutwell. One man with a child in his- arms, started to cross the dam with the water up to his body. His wife, with another child, stood in the window of their house, the floor of which was al- ready flooded by the rising water, and watched her husband feel his way, step by step along the tcp of the treacher- ous dam, one false step from which, or a caving bank, would throw him into a swiftly moving current. Finally he was sighted from across the river on the city side. A boat was put in and after a half hour’s effort the man was rescued. Upward of a hundred people were brought from the island to the ctiy in boats. To-night the wind has sub- sided, but the water, which receded with the ebb of the tide during the aft- ernoon, has again risen. Considerable anxiety is felt for ship- ping at sea. The steamer Nacoochee, for New York, and the steamer D. H. Miller, for Baltimore, went to sea Sat- urday night. The City of Macon was due this morning from New York, but has not yet arrived, and the City of Au- gusta sailed from New York on Friday and was due here to-night. Until telegraphic communication is restored or news Is received from the country between Savannah and Jack- sonville over which the heaviest part of the storm passed, the full extent of the damage cannot be told. CHARLESTON S. C., Oct. 2—Much alarm was occasioned here to-day by the hoisting of cyclone flags by the weather bureau. It was feared at one time that much damage would be done, but such was not the case. During the day the wind reached a velocity of six- ty-two miles and over. Streets in the city were submerged. All the ships in the harbor -sought safe anchorage. It | is feared that much damage to rice has been done. No casualties have been Te- ported here. SANDY HOOK, N. J., Oct. 2, 11:30 p. m.—The life-saving station reports a schooner ashore near that point. The vessel is the Stephen Bennett from Philadelphia for Portsmouth: GEORGETO LB CL Ot 2k brisk northeaster since last night has caused the swell to break over docks here and caused a loss to the rice craps estimated at §75,000
