A SENSATION MAY ENSUE.
COMBING THE PRESIDENT.
A WASHINGTON CLERK IMAeINEs HE Is
A MILLIONAIRE,

And, After Getting GIoriously Drunk, Pours
Out the Walls of His Wrath on President
Harrison-A Sensational Scene at WASH
ington.
TFRoM STAFF CORRESPONDENT
WASHINGTON, November IA week
ago A. P. Cunningham, an employe in the
Document Room of the Senate, professed to
have received word by a special envoy
from Australia that he had fallen heir by the
death of an uncle to property in Australia
valued at 81, SOC, 900. Whether this was true
or not, he ceased work and began to cele-
brate. He has been somewhat conspicuous
here as one who has been kept in position
on account of his relationship to Mrs. Gen
eral Logan, and also as the person who was
arrested just after the election of Harrison
for firing a victorious cannon in the White
House lot under the windows of the room
which were then occupied by President
Cleveland.
Cunningham imagines he has not had his
dues in the distribution of political spoils,
and is not for Harrison and Morton
in 1892. Just after he became a mil
lionaire, Cunningham went to the White
House in very courageous condition; in
voked the shades of General Logan as an
ideal Republican, and gave President Har-
rison such buz as that gentleman has not
had to his face since he became hedged
about with the dignity of President.
Not content with that, he made his way
past doorkeepers and messengers again to-
day and almost scared Mr.. Harrison into
a belief that the fake published the other
day about a conspiracy to assassinate him
was to become disagreeable fact Gun
ningham called the President a traitor to
his party, a miserable political nonentity,
hanging to the coat tails of his grandfather; a
white-livered -, and many other terms
which he thought were justifable as COM
ing from member of the great family Of
Logans, whose Republicanism none could
dispute.
Somehow the employees surrounding Mr.
Harrison gave the millionaire time to ex-
haust his stock of epithets before they got
him arrested, and though he languishes TO-
night in tie Twelfth street calaboose,
with none to bail him out, he lies In his
bunk laughing to himself at the successful
manner in which he combed down the Presi-
dent of the United States. 1t is thought
that Mr.. Cunningham's millions are the
product of his Imagination, and that he is in
fair way to 60 to St. Elizabeth if he does
not ioin the Prohibition party

1t is intended to hold very important
Association to-day. The meeting will be
one OF stockholders, and it is anticipated
that one of the questions for discussion will
concern the to-be or not-to-be o. the Home
wood track. A gentleman interested in the
association said yesterday afternoon:
"Of course, if our meeting takes place, it
will be lively one. L expect it will be
held, at least notices are out for it, and there
are two parties. One is in favor of retain
ing the track and the other is for selling it
for building sites. 1t is claimed that the
latter party has a controlling interest of the
stock. That may be so. but I'll show you
how they will be downed A certain gen.
tleman has bought large quantity of stock,
but he has not vet been elected a member of
the ASSOCIATION, so that he cannot vote. 1
further think that if he declares himself to
the effect that he wants to sell the track, he
will not be elected a member of the associa.
ton. Most certainly there Is a movement
gong on, the object of which is to break up the
park as real estate speculation"
Secretary McCracken, of the association,
could not be found yesterday afternoon, but a
friend of his said that the Secretary was ''hust-
ling for proxies for the meeting" The friends
ol the track ana OF trotting races are doing
everything IN their power to foil the efforts of
those who wish to make the track thing of the
past The general opinion seems to be that it
would be great loss to the city and a heavy
blow to local horse breeders If a resolution to
sell the track for building purposes was car
ried,
The stockholders are also requested TO elect a
President Secretary and Treasurer for the
next L months, and also nine directors 1t is
fully expected that Mr.. McCracl1en will be re-
elected without opposition. He has done well
during the past year, and has shown that he
knows his business thoroughly. The new
board viii have to deal with some important
questions, such as the purses and stakes for
next year, and also the number of race meet
lnEs TO be held, that Is if the party who want to
break up the track do not succeed. 1t is
thought they will not.

ESPECIAL TELEeRAM TO THE DIsPA ArcH.l
SYRACUSE, November 1.-THE Rev.
Father Grimes was called to police head
quarters to-day to listen to the story of a
young woman, claiming to be the wife of a
prisoner who has given the police of the city
no little trouble. The man called himself
by several names. but not until the woman
confessed did his right one come out. The
charge against him was the theft of two
coats. He waS plainly no ordinary man,
for he spoke German. French and Italian
and was fluent in conversation upon every
topic. While under arrest he also proved
himself a doctor by prescribing for fellow
prisoner. 1t was evident that he had stolen
the coats in sheer desperation.
The woman, who says she is married to the
man, was Alvoretta Kinney, of Saccarappa,
near Portland, Me. She said her husbands s
name is Thomas Alphonso Bergman, and
that he taught a school which her mother
attended when she was girl. About two
months ago Bergman visited Saccarappa
and called on her family. He invited her
to take ride 10 Portland, and on the way
he proposed marriage. He was Protestant
and she a Catholic. Bergman said that he
would get dispensation from the Catholic
bishop, and then he took her to a justice of
the peace and they were married. Her
father was so enraged that he threatened to
shoot Bergman if he ever met him, and so
Bergman and his bride went to Boston.
After day or two, he sent her to her
parents home but soon wrote begging her
to come on again. She refused to go and he
went to Saccarapps after her. They re-
turned to Boston and then went to New
York, Newton, Scranton, Binghamton and
Cortland. They were at Cortland last
Wednesday, and on that occasion, as he
had several times done, he advised his wife
to return home and threw her things out of
his satchel. On Thursday they came to
Syracuse, where he was arrested Friday.
Bergman said he stole the coats to save
his wife from starvation, but it is apparent
that he is a scapegrace whose crimes are not
few. He was to-day sent to Onondaga
county penitentiary for one year.
