HORRIBLE ACCIDENT
A Putnam County Man Shot His Wife
While Watching for Rabbits.

Special TO the Register.
CHARLESTON, w. Va, May 31.-In-
formation has just reached here to the
effect that Mrs. VIM. Mccoy was acct
dentally shot by her husband at their
home at Pliny, Putnam county, and she
will probably die.
Mccoy was sitting in the yard,
watching for rabbits that had been de-
vastating his garden, with a loaded
shotgun lying cross his lap, the muzzle
pointed toward the house. By some
means the gun was discharged and al
most the entire load entered his wifes
left side. Her teeth were knocked out
and the scattered shot made ugly
wounds from her head almost down TO
her feet. She has been unconscious
ever since, and although still living
when last heard from her recovery is
considered scarcely possible. The cou-
pie had been married but short time
and have no children.

MIXED
Was the Situation in the Republican
Camp at Columbus, Last Evening.

COLUMBUS. o., May 31.-With Sem
ators Foraker and Hanna, the Ohio
Republican Congressman, and other
leaders all here tonight, the indica-
tons are that there may be two i'm
posing states on the State ticket ar
ranged before the Republican State
Convention assemblies tomorrow, but
nothing definite can be learned as to
uhe combinations tonight. Senator
Hanna arrived here early in the day.
when he was kept busy comforting with
the candidates for Governor and 9TH
ers, but the first thing he did after
supper was TO have long conference
with George B. Cox. Afterward Mr..
Cox conferred with Nash, Daugherty
and other candidates, and also with
ex-Chairman Kurtz and other leaders,
but he still holds secret his plans for
Friday
While Cox was known to be in con-
ference with Senator Hanna, there are
rumors that Cox had quarrelled with
Kurtz and McKisson, and even with
Daugherty, but such was not the case.
Cox is on intimate terms with all of
them. There are still three leading
forces represented by Nash, Daugherty
and the fayorite of Kurtz, the latter
not yet named, although the indica-
tons to-day have pointed strongly 10
Lieut.. Gov. Jones as the man. 1t is
estimated that the first ballot will
stand: Nash 275; Daugherty 265; Jones
45, with the other votes between Dou-
glas, Durbin, Hall, Nevin, Smyser, Orr,
Shuttuc and Brigham, and 407 neces-
sary to nominate. The feature of the
finishing tonight has been the boom
given Nash since Senator Hanna's con-
ference and the subsequent tendency OF
the field to concentrate against Nash.

weakness in woman-cal it as you
please-that makes every one of US,
rightly constituted, desire to be admir-
ed, long to be beautiful. But in this
desire to please, this wish to be admir-
ed, this longing to be lovely, and even
by tasteful art to enhance whatever
grace or charm nature may have be-
slowed, or makes good its absence,
there is no traint of cruelty, and never
had been from the beginning of the
world. Never in all ages, until recent
years, did woman transgress the law
of God, as written in her amiable feel
ings towards His creatures and base
her claim to admiration on cruelty.
This surely is new development,
horrible fashion, cruel and dis
gushing fad; this slaughtering and dis
membering of birds to assist our mil
linery. Whence came it? Who could
have originated such a hideous and
hideously suggestive custom?
Some seven years ago there ap-
peared in Paris, at ball of the demi-
monde, a woman wearing on her head
dress dead bird. Its Introduction as
an ornament in fashionable bad society
was not received with much favor at
first, although the wearer succeeded
in attracting attention to herself by
the singularity of her adornment.
From such a vile fountain head,
from such a polluted source, low as
fostering swamp; from such a source
of impure vanity did this horrible fad
or fashion flow forth, until, like a
river, it overran the world, but chief
ly turned its oVerfowing hitherward
until, before our womanhood knew
whence it came or what it meant it
flooded all our beloved land; and then
law, the courts, the sheriff and the
policeman had to be invoked to pre-
vent a further spread of this insult to
taste and impiety towards God"

MANILA, May $3.50 D. m.-De-

States hospital ship Relief, yesterday,
have Just been obtained The Relief
lies in the harbor in front OF this city.
Third officer Fred Heppy, and assist
ant engineer, Chas. Blandford, rugged
a sail on one of the ships boats and
went sailing along the shore, on the
south opposite the insurgent lines. The
boat became becalmed near the shore
and some native canoes with FilipinoS
on board put out and captured the two
men, who were unarmed, and also took
possession of the boat. The u. S. tur-
ret ship Monodanock quickly sent a
boat with a landing party ashore, I'M
der cover of her guns, and shelled the
shore briskly. The natives, however,
rushed the prisoners into the woods
before the Monodanock' boat reached
land. Persons on board several other
ships saw the affair through glasses.
but We're unable to prevent the capture
OF Messrs. Heppy and Blandford.
Friendly natives arriving here from the
country around San Isidri and San
Manuel, report that a reign of terror
lao plSF Slice Tie american
troops were withdrawn from those
parts of the islands. The insurgents.
who are returning there, deal ven
geance upon those of their countrymen
who have shown any friendship to-
wards the Americans during the lat
ter's occupation of the territory. The
friendlies declare that unoffending peo-
pie are being murdered daily, and that
their houses are burned and their pro-
perry taken. Plenty of sympathizers
with the instruction remained during
the Americans stay, and they have
been reporting these instances Of
friendliness towards our troops.
The refugees add that the inhabitants
were badly oppressed by the native
soldiers before the American occupa-
ton, but that their condition is worse
now. Doubtless there is much truth
in these reports, though such stories
from Filipino sources are always mag
nified.
