 Pittsburg, Oct. 11.-Up to midnight nothing definite had developed in the Adams Express robbery of Monday evening.
 What may prove an important clue to the actions of Cunliffe was given to the detectives to-day by c. G. Hoover, a reputable merchant of Alleghany. If MT Hoover's suspicious are correct, and the detectives are inclined to be- believe them, Cunliffe did not leave this neighborhood until after Tuesday evening.

 MT. Hoover, who is an ardent fisher man, says that on Tuesday evening while he was fishing along the banks OL lilG OI1lO} IiEdI I4IIlSWOElllS d SuboItD of Alleghany, he heard behind him a hard dry cough, but could see no one. After several repetitions of the cough he located a man whom he has since learned answered the description of the missing man: He had small mirror fixed on 8 bush and was industrlously cutting his hair with pair of clippers. Mir. Hoover, of course, had heard noth- ing of the express robbery at that time and had no incentive to question the mans right to be his own barber at such an unusual place, and paid no more attention to him The detectives think that as Cunliffe might be ex- pected to do the most unusual thing it would not be surprising if the man MT. Hoover saw should turn out to be the fugitive. According to the detectives, he could easily carry the $100,000 on his person without attracting attention. The package contained 1900 bills and this number could easily be distributed through the mans pockets and about his person. The numbers of the bills arc known. The officers think the rob Der will be captured, however, within a few days between here and St. Louis, Kansas City or Omaha, travelling by freight. Many rumors have been circu- lated concerning Cunliffe's whereabouts but nothing definite has developed. Much speculation has been indulged in as to whether or not Cunliffe had an accomplice, but nothing has developed to make 1t appear that any other per son was in the secret.
 There is. considerable speculation as Z to what can be done with Cunliffa if he is caught. Attorneys express, the be- lief that he can be held for larceny only for taking the S100,000, but stealing the $1000 from his employers nlaks him 1ia- ble for embezzlement.
 T. Hart Given, president of. the Farmers Deposit bank, the institution which consigned the $1OOO00 package to the First National bank of Cincin- natl, when seen this evening, said:
 "The incident Is closed, so far as we are concerned, and it is up to the ex- press company. We have the express company's receipt for the package, and I understand the Cincinnati bank was reimbursed to-day by the company"
 Cincinnati, Oct, 1.-The First Ma tional bank of this city to-day received by telegraph from Pittsburg $1OO,O0O which was to have been brought by express, but disappeared in Pittsburg, The express company directed the pay ment to the bank immediately on find- ing that it had been actually in their possession at the time of its loss.
