ANGRY WOMAN SHOOTS,
 KILLING HER VICTIM

Globe, Nov. I.-J. W. Weaver. the we'll known driver of the Copper Hill stage, was shot and instantly killed Monday night by Mrs Emma IIrssler at about \ O clock. at the home of Mrs. Ilessler's mother. Mrs. Scott, IT Broad street. When seen at the county jail, almost immediately after the shooting, Mrs. Hcsslcr said that she had shot Weaver in her own defense. as, after repeatel previous insults, hc mad followed her into her mothers house and there attempted personal vio. ienee upon her.
 Broad street was filled with typicaf eve of election crowds, especially to- wards the courthouse. Knots of men were gathered here and there. discuss. ing political topics and the chances of the several candidates, and the parade sn its way 10 the republican meeting at Dreamlaud had passed by but few minutes.
 A shot was heard, but so untitled and uncertain wns the sound that scarcely anyone knew whence 1t came.
 Town Marshal Anderson was in the act of stepping off the curb into the street at the southeast corner of Broad and Cedar streets, less than hundred feet from the spot, when he heard the report, and, deceived, like scores of others ns to the direction, started down into the basement of the Trust building when n Mexican ran up to him and told him that nan had just been killed in the Scott rooming house.
 Hurrying to the building indicated, the town marshal found Weaver lying on his back in the brightly lighted hall of the Scott house, in plain view of the street, his head toward the street, his arms outstretched. At the rear of the hall stood Emmct Gaynor, a son of Mrs Scott, and Mrs. iiessler was standing partly in the door of one of the rooms opening in the rear of the hall.
 Weaver was already dead as the marshal stopped over him, although q little while later some one claimed that his pulse was still beating.
 "Who did thisi" remanded the of. hcer as he arose from his examination of the fallen man.
 For awhile there was no answer. The question was repeated to Emmett Gay. nor, but he only replied with demand that the marshal search the dead man, which was done.
 "Who did thisi" aain spoke the os. fcer.
 ''I shot him." declared Mrs. Iiessler, stepping from the door in which she had been partly hidden, and from her reticule she produced n 32calibre liar. rington S Richardson revolver. which she handed to Marshal Anderson A nasty examination of the weapon show. cd that but one chamber had been dis. charged, the bullet taking effect in the man 's mouth, breaking the upper front teeth on it's way Co the brain, where it lodged, but only barely cutting the upper lip and leaving no outward mark, save slight powder burn on the lips.

Gen. GOMEZ CUDA'S CHOICE
Claims He Has Won Every Pro-
vince in the Island
THE LIBERALS SWEEP CONGRESS
Exceedingly Heavy Vote Was Cast,
Vastly in Excess of Recent Au-.
gust Election. Conservative
Leaders Amt Defeat.

Hanvana. AT the close OF an cleo
ton which was conducted with great
enthusiasm and complete absence of
disorder, it appears practically GER
tain that Gen. Jose Miguel Gomez
and Alfredo e. Zayas have been cho-
sen president and vice president, re-
spectively, of the new Cuban repub-
die with strong Liberal majorities in
the senate and house.
Gen. Gomez. announced he had re-
ceived advices showing that ne had
carried every province in the 'sIanl,
which is not improbable. Havana and
Origente provinces, with forty-eieht
electoral votes, which lacks only eight
Of majority, are surely Liberal.
Gov. Maeoon said:
Il cannot express too highly my
appreciation of the enthusiasm and
prudent regard for order with which
the Cuban people have conducted this
most important contest. I am abso-
lutely certain that they will loyalty
abide by the result, establishing 10
my complete satisfaction, their COM
plese fitness to be entrusted with the
government Of the republic.
Through the day numerous reports
were received at the palace from the
American supervisors of the rural
guard and from the mayors OF va
rious towns, stating that there had
been no infraction of law ami order
The only exception was in Cardinas.
where a slight affray took pace in
which two men were injured. NJ
where was there occasion for the SER
vice Of the rural guards, who were on
duty only at the polls where there
were no regular policemen.
Throughout the island, according
to the reports, an exceedingly heavy
vote was cast. vastly in excess OF that
cast at the August election. where
$4,000 failed to vote in total reg
istration of 100000. This was es
pecially so in Havana City. where the
vote probably will reach sixtv-six
per cent of the registration. against
forty. nine per cent in August.
Matanzas reports indicate great
increase in the vote in that province
cast by property holders, who were
apathetic at the last election, and
this is considered favorable to the
Conservatiy es.
The Conservative leaders generally
admit the defeat of their party. The
streets were thronged with rejoicing
Liberal crowds. One party, compos-
ed mostly Of negroes, while passing
the cafe of the Hotel Inglaterra,
which is additionally Conservative
resort clashed with a group of Con-
servatives on the sidewalk. Knives
and pistols were drawn and several
shots were fired, breaking some OF
the windows of the hotel and caus-
ing,a panic among those seated with
In. Lieut.. Reynolds of the marine
corps, ran out of the cafe, and inter
posed h.mseii between the combat
ants. He made speech in Spanish
and succeeded in inducing them to
stop fighting.
The shooting, however attracted a
great crowd and the situation event
ually became threatening. Maj.
-Foltz, supervisor of the police, sum-
moned the reserves and cleared the
square. Two men are reported in
jured, but no arrests were made.
