After the shooting Allss .MacCunnell
calmly walked out of the room and took
a train for Coutesvllle, the home of her
parents. Arriving there she quietly
entered the house, and, going upstairs,
placed the revolver to her breast und
tired, the bull passing through her lungs
and lodging In her back. She then In
formed her parents, who Immediately
called In a physician. He located the
bull, but. expressed the opinion that
the fuse wus hopeless. Miss MacCun
nell passed a restless night, her mind
apparently wandering ut times. At
one time she expressed the hope thut
Thompson was dead. She fired two
shots, she said, fur fear one might
not kill him. She declared Thompson
hud deceived her and blighted her life,
and. having nothing to live for, she
luiule up her mind to kill herself. She
wanted Thompson to die so he could lint
blight the lives of utheJ'f.
Today Chief of Polil e lurtlcy brought
suit before Alderman Cummiiigs
ugulnst Miss Mai Council, charging her
with felonious ussault uml battery with
intent to kill, and an olllcer was sent
lo Coutesvllle und served a warrant
on the woman at Iter father's house.
This afternoon she was still alive, but
beyond hopes of recovery. ,
The feeling In Coutesvllle against
Thompson is Intense, w hile much sym

The strict prom censorship established
by President Zel'iy.l rcli'leiM it impos
sible for news of atw character xcept
what Is fuvorable to I In; governmei.t.
from being made public. Two of the
facts, however, In the opinion of those
thoroughly familiar with existing con
ditions, seem to be well established.
First, that Xelaya Is not suppressing
the rebellion, and secondly, that the
Hondurlan troops which arrived in
Nicaragua on Friday last, as the sup
posed allies of Zelaya nre quite us like
ly to aid the rebels as to act In concert
with the government troops. .
If Honduras espouses Hacas' cause,
the lutter will. It Is believed, become
victorious, since his troops ure armed
with modern guns, .unlimited by senti
ments of the loftiest patriotism, inas
much, as they ure lighting for consti
tutional liberty, and to prevent Ihe al
leged dictatorship of Zelaya. Without
Honduras' uid the result Is likely to be
lit doubt for several months ut least.

THE DOSGOLA EXPEDITION
(icrmuny'a Convent to I nullah Occupa

Herlln. March 22. The special an
nouncement thut C.ermnny had given
her assent to P.ugland's drawing on the
Kgyptlau reserve fund to defray the
cost of the Itiitlsh expedition up the
Nile valley, which was published In the
North Oruiuu (lazette, was worded In
such a niun-ier as to convey the Im
pression thai Cicriiiuny'H assent was
not given to conserve Kugllsh Interests,
but rather fur the sake of upholding the
interests uf the allies of liermany In
cluded In the Dreibund, especially
those of Italy. ' Two articles on the
subject which were subsequently pub
lished In the (lazette were a great deal
more cordial toward KngianU, and the'
Intention seems to have been to dispel
all traces of the recent Herman Irrita
tion toward F.nglund, to defend the
Dongola expedition as an Inevitable
und itiillspenslble movement and to pre
dict thill ultimate recognition by Ku
rupe of the value of the operations of
the expedition In controlling the de
structive power of the Dervishes, eth
er Inspired journals are now taking the
same view.
The key to ull this sudden display of
good will toward England Is unques
tionably (leriuun sympathy with Duly.
If the battle of Adowa. fought on March
1, ill which the Italians were disastrous
ly defeated, had not occurred, Oerniauy
would not have countenanced the ex
pedition up the valley of the Nile, and
probably would have sided with France
and Russia to prevent It.
Paris, .March 22. The newspapers
last evening contained a semi-official
note atllrmlng thut unanimity on the
part of the powers Is necessary to en
able the expenditure of any part of the
Fgyptiau reserve fund for the defray
ing of the expenses of on expedition to
Dongola, such us proposed bv Knglund.
Cicriuany's adhesion to Knghinu s pro
posal, the nole contends, does nut Imply
thut Hermany regards unanimity need

The score lust night wus Cleurwater
1!M: Keogh 2ns
Keogh seemed to be a bundle of noth
ing nut nerve. 111s uphill work wus
wonderful and at one stage he looked
Very much like a winner, being thirty-
two bulls In the lead In the night's
play. There were nol more than alio
people In, their seats when Clearwater
made his customary break, leaving the
cue ball frozen to the lower rail, but
by a timgtilllcent shot Keogh pocketed
one ball und split the bunch to 11
nicety. On the nex't shot quite all easy
cut for the corner, Clearwater ran two,
missed, und profiting by Keogh's miss
got live more, Hulh men missed sev
eral easy ones before the frame closed.
Keogh making the lust bull. In the
ninth the Scran ton hid kept forging
ahead by beautiful work. His work til
the tenth was marvelous. Leaving
Clearwater safe on his break he cleared
Ihe table on his lirst shot and the crowd
broke loose Into a turmoil. In this
fiame he executed no less thuu three
dltllculf cut-shots In rapid succession.
The next frame prudu I considerable
excitement. On the break Keogh left
Clearwater but one shot, u fairly easy
one for the lower corner. The cham
pion seemed nervous when he placed
Ills cue In position, and. after a second
or two of delibi i-.itlun. let go. The ball
went wide of the pocket, and several
cries of "He is in the air." were heard.
Keogh made one and In a rather over
anxious manner missed nn easv one.
Clearwater took his turn and made one,
then missed on a very simple shut. At
j this the greater part of the audience
began lo hoot and yell, whereupon
I Clearwater cried "I will not stand that,
! gentlemen." He seemed flustered and
angry, keogh pocketed six more and
then quit. After several misses the
frame closed with a nice long shot on
the part of Keogh.
At the close of the match Oeorgo
Meyer challenged Clearwater on behalf
of Alfred De urn. the Cuban champion.
Clearwater's victory was by no means
a popular one. the crowd responding
with a hearty will to a call for the three
cheers for Keogh.
