New York dispatch: In a quarrel over the death of his sister, Mrs. Thomas Fennen, Thomas Dettman killed Thomas Fennen and then shot and killed himself. San Francisco, Cal., March 5.--News reached this city Saturday of a dis­ aster in the Society and Tuamotu islands which is said to have resulted in the death of 10,000 persons. On Feb. 7 a hurricane of gigantic propor­ tions broke over the islands and lagoons and it did not expend its force until the next day. Mammoth waves swept over the land, tossing ships about like egg shells and driving the populace into the tall cocoanut trees. Property dam­ age estimated at $5,000,000 ^as wrought. Many of the islands of the two groups are said to have disappeared completely beneath the surface of the ocean and others have been swept so clean by wind and wave that not a vestige of life appears upon them. One City. Escapes. The only detailed account of the catastrophe that has emanated from any of the islands comes from the city of Papeete, on the island of Tahiti, which evidently escaped more fortu­ nately than Its neighbors. This account was brought by the officers of the steamship Mariposa, who, however, were unable to furnish facts from other places than Papeete and its im­ mediate vicinity. The city of Papeete was inundated and about seventy-five buildings de­ stroyed, including the American con­ sulate and the French government building. The shipping in the harbor of Papeete escaped injury owing to the direction of the wind, but it is feared that many vessels which were cruising near the Tuamotu islands were lost. Waves 8ixty-Five Feet High. It is believed that there was heavy loss of life in the lagoons of Tuamotu inlands, though the death of the guar­ dian of the quarantine station in Pa­ peete was the only fatality reported up to the time the Mariposa sailed. The schooner Papeete was sub­ merged for an hour near Anaa, Tuam­ otu. Her captain, Philip Michaelll, estimated that the waves were sixty- five feet high. It wa? impossible to see twenty feet away. Even in the daytime the sailors bad to be lashed to the vessel. M. Marcadi, a French resident at Faharan, Tuamotu islands, abandoned the place in a small cutter after all the government buildings and dwell­ ing houses and the Catholic church were swept away. Many of the na­ tives climbed cocoanut trees, and others put out to sea in small boats. The schooner Ina, which was anchored in the lagoon at Makemo, successfully rode out the storm. Makemo was badly washed.' Many narrow escapes from drown­ ing have been reported. Damages Bridges and Roads. Bridges and roads were badly dam­ aged on the island of Tahiti. Bread fruit, cocoanut, banana, and plantain trees were blown down in great num­ bers, which will result in hardships to Invite Roosevelt and Deneen, Galesburg, 111., dispatch: An invi­ tation to attend the state encamp­ ment of the G.

The French gunboat Zelee has gone to the Tuamotu islands with supplies of food and fresh water. The cyclone, or hurricane, reached the velocity of 120 miles an hour. It struck the islands about midnight on Feb. 7 and continued until about 4 o'clock on the next afternoon. The island of Anaa, Tuamotu gVoup, is be­ lieved to have been the center of the storm. At Papeete about 7 o'clock on the evening of Feb. 7 the sea began to break heavily over , the reef; the waves in the harbor washed over the quay. There was no perceptible wind. Toward 10 o'clock people dwelling in the vicinity of the water front were compelled to abandon their homes, saving as a rule only a small portion of their belongings. The merchants and clerks went to the stores and warehouses only to discover that it was quite impossible to save goods on the lower floors. An hour later high seas broke, complete­ ly demolishing the government slip and buildings, Resides causing grejlt damage to the coal sheds. Rescues Many From Death. The guardian of the arsenal, Titter Adams, an expert swimmer, was in the water for many hours, and as­ sisted In warning and rescuing oth­ ers. The village of Tarona, near the ar­ senal, was completely swept away. It consisted of the mission build­ ings and homes of native converts of the reorganized Latter Day Saints' mission, formerly under the direction of Capt. Joseph Burton of California. The mission house and a great many houses were carried off to a distance of many hundreds of yards and de­ molished. Of the church edifice not a vestige remains. A settlement about an eighth of a mile distant, comprised of dwellings of several hundred Cook islanders (British subjects) was com­ pletely destroyed.

The storm center was In the southern portion of the city and particularly heavy along Front street, one of the principal busi­ ness streets of the town. Nearly every house on Front street is re­ ported to have been demolished. The Armour packing plant, from which a message was received bv long distance, was left standing and the roof of this was gone. The city is in total darkness, the electric lighting plant having been put out of business. The cyclone did severe damage at oth$r points ad­ jacent to Meridian and all trains en­ tering Meridian are delayed in­ definitely. The Western Union Telegraph com­ pany reported having lost fifteen miles of wire and the Postal Telegraph com­ pany also suffered great damage. The wires are all down between At­ lanta, Birmingham, Memphis and other points, and it is impossible to secure communication with the stricken city. Whole 8quares Are Devastated. The tornado passed over in qbout two minutes and during that period several squares were devastated. A conservative estimate places the num­ ber of buildings blown down at be­ tween thirty and forty. Among the heaviest losers are the Meyer ft Ne­ ville Hardware company, Tom Lyle ft Co., wholesale dry goods and gro­ ceries; Josh Moore, wholesale dry goods and groceries; the New Orleans and Northeastern railroad freight de­ pot and other buildings, the names of which are not obtainable at this hour. The Mobile and Ohio depot is safe, as well as the Southern hotel, but the Grand Avenue hotel was considerably damaged* From the business center the tornado jumped to the east end, where a number of residences were blown down. % . t1": Two Killed at Grade Crossing. ^Carmel, Ind., dispatch: Mr. and Mire.
