CLINTON TRAGEDY.
Mrs. Weber Reported Quite
Comfortable, Tuesday.
Physicians Hope for Recovery--WiII
Search for Bullet With X-Rsys.
humo's as to Cause Of Tragedy-TaIk About
Divorce Proceedings.

Clinton, Jan. 5.-(SpeciaD The con-
dltion of Mrs. John l.. Weber was
slightly better, this morning. She
passed quite comfortable night and
there were but few hemorrhages. Dr.
f. c. Thayer of Waterville, was called
mere and made an examination of the
wounds. 1t is difficult to locate the
bullets in the right breast, as it is not
safe to probe for them and as that
operation would considerably weaken
the woman. DR.. Shaw was quite hope
ful of her recovery, if blood poisoning
be avoided and no internal hemorrhage
ensues. DR.. Thayer has concluded to
resort to the use of the X ray for the
purpose of locating the bullets and
that experiment will be tried, if Mrs
Webber continues to improve in
strength.
The affair has been the talk of the
town since it's occurrence and in the
| light of what has occurred in this town
IN the last few years everybody is
wondering what will happen next.
Before his marriage with Miss;
Glenora Goodwin, Weber was ac-
| counted as a sober, quiet and industri-
Gus citizen and he had accumulated
| considerable property. Since marriage.
events have come and gone that led
him to be jealous of his wife and many
| domestic quarrels have resulted.
Mrs. Weber has threatened TO take
| steps for separation several times
but has never done SO. Weber was
| seen by two well known citizens. last
evening, about half an hour before the
| tragedy occurred and they say he was
not intoxicated. He was probabl yHon
his way to see his wife at this time.
| 1t is claimed by some that Mrs. Web.
| Der had employed q lawyer to secure
| a divorce for her and that the lawyer
| had sent for Weber to call at his
| office but the question naturally arises,
| il the woman had begun proceedings
| for Il divorce as claimed why was Web
| Der sent for by her lawyer.
1t is believed by some people who are
| in any way familiar with the domestic
affairs of the couple that Weber had
become eXasperated at some act. of his
wife and upon her refusal to return to
their home. in fit of temporary in
sanity had committed the deed.

THE CLAIM oIsAllowED.
Law Court Decides Gardiner Case in FavcI
Of Plaintiff.

Portland, Jan. ga rescript was
handed down from Judge Strout, to-
day, in the case of Charles N. bennett
VS.. r. T. Burnham and trustees, and
a. c. Stilphen. This case comes up
from the Kennebec court and is in
brief as follows: Il. r. Burnham held
insurance policies against fire in the
Queen Insurance Co. and New Hamp-
shire Insurance CO., on buildings
burned June IA. 1894. These policies
We're assigned absolutely to A. c. Still
phen as security against debts owed
by Burnham to Stilphen.
The amount of these policies was
larger it is claimed, than to cover the
debt, and the residue should go to the
benefit of Burnham's creditors in gen.
eral. The case was heard in the lower
court without a jury, with the right of
exception and the case subsequently
went to the law court for settlement.
The court dictates that the plaintiffs
objections are sustained; that Still
phen's case is disallowed, and that the
two insurance companies as trustees
should be charged for the full amount
in their hands. less their costs.

MOONEY RETURNSli
Believed He Has Been Within
the Insufgent Lines.
He Refuses to Say Anything as to His
Recent Whereabouts.
Havana Papers Say He Would Not Dare 10 Do
Such Thing.

Havana, Jan. 5.-La Lucia, Monday,
speaking of the report that the United
States Senator Money had gone to
visit the insurgent leaders, said it did
not believe he would commit such a
misdemeanor and place himself out
side the pale of the law. such an act
would be objectionable in person
whose duty it was to know and respect
the laws of the country he visited.
If it was a serious offence for other
Americans to visit the insurgent camps
it was still worse for one to do so who
represented his country in it's Parlia-
ment.
Mr.. Moony returned to Havana, Mon
day evening. All efforts to learn from
him where he had been were fruitless
he declining to say anything that would
lend to disclose his whereabouts since
he disappeared. 49,
The general opinion is that he has
been within the rebel lines seeking the
information he desired, but there is nc
way of proving this belief.
Consul General Lee is authority for
the statement that Mr.. Money has no
connection with the Cuban Junta in
New York. This statement is made in
view of the fact that the report has
been circulated to the effect that Mr..
Money is the agent of the Junta or has
some connection with that body.
Gen. Lee adds that Mr.. Money made
the trip to Cuba for pleasure and to
obtain personal information within
the lawful limits of the condition of
the country to enable him to speak
with authority on the Cuban question.
Saturday. Mr.. Money, Gen. Lee says.
was invited to visit San Jose de las
Lajas, some Is miles southeast OF
Havana. to see the country. He went
there on that day and remained until
Monday. He remained in the town
during the entire stay and saw no
rebels.

information that her object was to

Maceo is recovering from his wounds.
The insurgents will take no aggressive
action until his complete recovery"
Continuing, Mr.. Lovelace said: I'm

surgents executed on a sand bar near
the ship. The prisoners were placed
in squads of eight or ten, and then one
soldier was selected to pick them off

officers of the insurgents executed

IN THE SENATE.
Memorial Asking for the Preservation Of Old
Frigate Constitution.

Washington, Jan. 5.-The reassem-
bling of the Senate after it's holidays
was unmarked by noticeable incident
There was no storming of the galleries
by the outside public, and senator's, en-
tering the chamber and taking their
seats, wore the same listless air as il
they had had no holiday, and the Cuban
question were only a dream.
Hoar, Rep, Mass, presented a memo
rial from the Massachusetts historical
society on the subject of the frigate
Constitution, now lying at the navy
yard in Kittery. Me, in q condition in
which she must either be practically
rebuilt or broken up.
The memorial recalls the brilliant
history OF the frigate, to which it says
the same interest should attach as to
Nelson's famous battleship Victory and
asks that the Constitution be repaired
and placed permanently at the Wash
fngton navy yard, and like the Victory
at Portsmouth, she may be hepeafter
kept in good repair and used as naval
museum, open to all. The memorial
was read in full and was referred to
the committee on appropriations.
