Charleston, W. Va, May 14.-Wil-
liam Cunningham, a young married
man, resides at ST. Albans His wife,
about % years old, is said to have be-
come infatuated with one Bowman
Nealey. and her husband having been
apprised of the attentions being paid
by Nealey to his wife began to look
after their conduct.
Thursday night he was informed that
the pair would attempt to leave the
country, and arming himself with a shot
gun. waylaid the road over which they
would travel.
Shortly after dark, along came Mrs.
Cunningham and her lover, driving in
a one-horse buggy. which Nealey had
hired from a livery stable.
The husband sought revenge by fir
ing at the absconding couple, but his
aim was so inaccWately directed that
the horse received the contents of the
gun. instead of the inmates of the
buggy.
As the animal was disabled the occu-
pants of the buggy got out and Nealey
gave the alarm about the shooting,
whereupon the police of the town, upon
complaint made by the liyeryman,
placed Cunningham in the lookup,
where he remains in default Of payment
of a fine imposed for shooting the
horse.
In the meantime Nealey and Mrs
Cunningham left for parts unknown.
Mrs. Cunninghams four-year-old son
is being cared for by sympathetic neigh
bors.
Mrs. Cunningham was taken by the
late NJ. L. Calvert and his wife from an
orphan asylum at Cincinnati when but
a mere child. and on the death Of Mr..
Calvert. whose wife had previously
died. all his property was divided
equally between Mrs. Cunningham and
another woman. whom they had also
reared. the couple having no children
of their own.

CUBAN MESSAGE NAY CONF,
One May Be Sent to the Congress By
President Mckinley.
The Difficulty Of Extending Relief
TO Suffering Americans Pointed
Out by Senator Burrows - The
Question Under Consideration by
the Cabinet.

Washington, May 14.-President Nc,
Kinley has under consideration the ad,
Visibility of sending a message to Con.
gress next week on the Cuban question.
but has not come TO a decision in the
matter, though he is inclined to send TO
the legislative branch a communication
suggesting that measures be adopted to
relieve the distress among Americans
resident in Cuba. The message, if it
goes, will be entirely pacific in tone, it
can be stated on good authority, and
will not be Of a warlike or sensational
tenor. In order to have the facts on
which TO predicate a message Nr. Nc
Kinley has had cablegrams sent to
every consular officer in Cuba, asking
each of them to give exact information
as TO the status Of affairs in his district
and TO telegraph replies at once.
1t was understood to-day by some
members of the Senate committee on
foreign relations that this information
would be communicated TO the Senate,
by Il message recommending action was
as yet matter of doubt. The prospects
are, however, that considerable opposi-
ton may develop in the Senate TO a
single proposition of relief. Senator
Burrows to-day pointed out the objec-
tiCns to such a procedure. Are we 60
ing to feed the Spanish army and as
sist Weyler in his campaign" he ask
ed. The distribution Of relief is al
most impossible and the scheme thor
oughly impracticable. How is the citi-
zenship Of the people asking relief to
be determined, and must there be an in
vestigaton of the citizenship of every
starving woman and child who asks re-
lief? We will be prevented from taxi
ing care of the Americans in the insur-
gent lines, and cannot relieve distress
even in the insurgent hospitals. We
shall simply be helping Spain feed her
hungry people
The cabinet met at 10 o'clock this
morning. an hour earlier than usual, to
discuss the Cuban situation. Secretary
Sherman brought over from the state
department a number Of documents,
presumably reports Of Consul General
Lee. After the meeting had convened,
Assistant Secretary Of State Day ar
rived with some additional papers. The
Cuban situation was gone over in detail
as shown by the latest reports from the
island 1t was announced after IL
o'clock that a message on Cuba would
not be sent TO Congress on Monday, but
whether or not one will be sent in later
in the week is not yet settled.
The Spanish Minister, Dupuy de
LONE. conferred for some time with
Assistant Secretary Day relative to the
reported intention of this government
to send relief to American sufferers in
Cuba. The Minister gave assurance
that the Spanish government would he
in entire sympathy with any beneyo-
lent movement and would lend every
assistance to it.
The Spanish Minister does not ques-
tion the existence of misery and suffer-
ing. but declares that it is such only
as accompanies war; due mainly to
lack of food, medicine and nursing.

mont.
San Francisco, May 14.-Theodore
Durrant, through his attorneys. will
ask Governor Budd to pardon him, on
the ground that the real murderer of
Blanche Lamont has at last confessed
his crime. The lawyers declare that
they have not been hoaxed, nor is it
their purpose to impose upon the exec
utive. They insist that in the person
of John Rosenberg, convict at San
Quentin prison, they have discovered
the man who is guilty Of the horrors of
Emmanuel church They say John
Rosenberg has made sworn confess
sion before a notary public and in the
presence of several witnesses that he
killed Blanche Lamont at the instlga-
tion of a stranger. and in consideration
of the payment of 500 for his bloody
work. The story and its details is one
of the most remarkable that has deyel-
oped in a long time.
Rosenberg is a Russian sailor and ar
rived in this city on sailing vessel
from Hamburg, Germany, on the first
day of March, 1895, or on the first day
of April. He is now serving a term for
horse stealing and appears to be sane.
Durrant is under sentence TO be hang

Washington, May 14.-Congressman
DORIS friends are claiming tonight
that he has smashed Senator Elkins's
slate of federal officers and that the
senator himself admitted as much to-
day.
This admission was made in a stormy
interview between Dorr and the Sena-
ter in which it is said that the former
declared his independence in language
more forcble than polite.
The Dorr men assert that 10 Gaines
will not be district attorney nor Tom
Davis collector cf internal revenue, and
that John X. Thompson may slip up
on the marshalship that he was thought
to be so sure of.
In short. Congressman Dorr and his
friends have got their war paint on
and their tomahawks out and stand
ready for fight to finish with Sena-
tor Elkins and Congressman Dayton,
Miller and Dovener unless they get the
slate of federal officers arranged to suit
them.
What they would like would be An
drew Horan, of Nicholas, for district
attorney; w. s. Wiley, of Summers,
for marshal, and a. b. White, Of Par
kersburg, for collector.
But they viii take as a compromise
HoTan for district attorney White for
collector and something good for Will
ley if the marshalship must go else
where
They are confident that the presi-
dent will never appoint Gaines district
attorney in view of the opposition to
him from Congressman Dorr and other
sources.
Mr. Wiley came here to-day and
Andrew Horan still fingers.
