A QUEER CASE.
A Man Mourned For Years as

This queer tale comes from Chicago.
Some twenty-nine years age
Andrew Buckley, beloved husband ol
I'hlmene Buckley, was drowned, having
disappeared from an overturned
rowboat. He is now defendant in
iwu uuiiH ior uivorce.
One pleasant day In October nearly
three score years ago he went for a
row.- Next day the l>oat was found
bottom up, and Buckley was found
not at all.
A sufficient time having passed
without his coming home to his
meals, as had been his custom, Mrs.
Buckley was reluctlantly led to believe
that her husband was thoroughly
und unalterably drowned, in spite
of the fnct that the l>ody was never
recovered, and she grew to look upon
herself as a widow.
'As a widow, she fixed up a nice
grave and decorated It with flowers
every year. As a widow, she received
the condolences of her friends
and extolled the virtues of the late
lamented Buckley among the neighbors,
to the discomfiture of many
husbands who had had no opportunity
to prove themselves drowned and
virtuous.
Luxuriating in recollections of
the happiness that was, she remained
true to the past and brought up
her son in fond reverence of the
memory of his worthy father.
During twenty-nine years she had
become firmly fixed in the habit of
believing she was a relict and was
reconciled.
Therefore, she was surprised, to
say the least, when she recently received
a letter from Buckley. The
letter bore a water mark, but no
other indication of having come from
a man who had gone to a moist and
permanent death.
On the contrary it gave evidence
of coming from one who was very
thoroughly possessed of vitality and
animation. In fact it went so far as
to show that the writer had been
leading a double life.
The writer explained to the loving
and affectionate widow that the constructive
corpse was in trouble and
needed her assistance. It is related
that the woman with whom he had
been living since his vicarious death
was suing him for dlvorve and asking
alimony.
He wanted his widow to sign a
disposition that she was his wife in
order to upset the claims of his second
wife, living in Seattle, Wash.
"Philomene, darling," said the.
letter, "Won't you please make this
disposition? I want tp prove to my
wife that she Is not my wife, but
that you are. You have always been
ve.ry good to me, and 1 am sure you
will he so now. My present wife Is
hard to convince. You were never
so. She wants alimony, but if I do
not have to pay her I can have car
fare enough to pay my way hack to
you, and I will live with you all my
life. I presume onr son is earning
money now. Please forward by return
mail. Yours, us was. Andrew."
Believing that she had been injured
by the supposedly drowned man,
who had originally deprived her of
support and then of a widow's comfort,
Mrs. Buckley asked Judge McKwen
to grant her a divorce from the
waterlogged mate of former years.

Supposed to Have Fallen Overboard
While hi a Fight.
The New York American says two
dead sailors, with arms locked, revealed
a river tragedy Thursday afternoon,
when found floating near
the statue of Liberty. What the circumstances
of their death were could
not be ascertained, but it was assumed
that they had been fighting and
hud fallen from their ship.
It is possible, however, that one
had fallen overboard and the other,
trying to rescue him, had been
dragged down to death.

5 Rev. C. M. Billings Publishes Card
In Augusta Chronicle.
Mr. Robert li. Fielding, of illaclcville,
Replies to Same Through The Columbia
State.
The following communication ap*
peared in the Augusta Chronicle one
t day last week:
"On June 23 and 24 dispatches
' were given to the press to the effect
that I had been expelled from the
Bluckville. S. C., Baptist church 011
. account of letters containing expressions
of endearment for a house-maid
who had formerly served In our home
A further statement to the effect that
" I had forsaken my wife and child and
? gone away with this servant was
f made.
"I want to say"~by way of explanaI
tion for my silence that for the first
1 10 dayB after these dispatches appeared
I was not in a physical nor
mental condition to make the statei
ment I wish to make. Besides, friends
as well as myself thought a statement
which would finally be made by a
l>ody of brethren would be more
satisfactory to the general public.
But findng that many of my friends
are expecting a statement from me
and are waiting impatiently for it, 1
wish to declare:
"First. That the letters in question
were not written by me; neither
have I been allowed the nHvl'opn r?r
seeing them.
"Second. The statement with reference
to the relations of endearment
existing between me and the
servant in question are libelous.
"Third. At the time that the dispatch
went out 1 had not only forsaken
my family, but was at home
with them. This the uuthor certainly
must have known.
"It is true upon ihe evidence contained
upon these letters I was excluded
from the church, but I had
absolutely no opportunity to defend
myself or deny the authorship of
them, since I was preaching for a
friend in Augusta and did not reach
home until f> o'clock in the afternoon
of that day.
"This is my final statement until
a body of reputable brethren hear the
cuse and their findings made public."
"Rev. C. M. Billings."
Contradicts Hillings.
To the Editor of The State:
It has been the purpose of your
correspondent to have nothing more
to say in regard to the awful Billings
matter which has been the talk
of our town and the whole State and
caused great grief to Christian people
here and elsewhere.
But the statement in your paper
today, copied from the Augusta
Chronicle, is so misleading to those
people over the State who do not
know the facta in the case and is so
totally devoid of truth until this informant
must come forth.
Now, every reputable man in this
town will sign his name to the fact
that these awful letters written by
Billings to the negro who had been
his house maid are in Billings' own
handwriting. These letters weie
written here and mailed to Bamberg,
where the maid had gone after leaving
his home on account of the fact
leaking out here.
a young newiy married man could
not write a letter in more endearing
terms to nls tender i?ride. The only
word of sympathy for the man here
for his crime is occasionally the. statement
that "the man must have lost
his mind."
This answers Billings' first statement
in regard to his not writing
these letters.
Second. That he had not been allowed
the privilege of seeing them
is fulse. On the other hand he was
begged to go and read them and he
tiat-footedly refused to do so.
His third statement, that he had
absolutely no opportunity to defend
himself or to deny the authorship of
the letters as he was away preaching
for a friend and didn't reach home
until 5 o'clock in the afternoon he
was excommunicated is devoid of
any truth whatsoever.
On the contrary. Millings was notified
on Friday afternoon that he
would be turned out of the church
on Sunday and was asked to be there.
This he failed to do, but on the contrary,
took the train for Augusta
<Ja., and preached there for a preacher
who came here for him and heard
the proceedings at church here Sunday
morning.
This was not a previous engagement
for him to preach in Augusta,
for he had an engagement to preach
in Lexington, N. C., and wired them,
after arriving in Augusta, he could
not come. This information wus in
i the Charlotte Observer.
It might also be stated that Millings
was excluded from the church
not only for gross immorality in re
Hard to his life with the negro but
for prevarication.
A copy of this letter has been sent
to the Augusta Chronicle in reply to
the card appearing in that paper.

Narrowly Kscape.
Caught in the merciless grip of the
undertow, in water barely waist deep.
Miss Julia Wannaniaker, the beautiful
young daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Heber Wannaniaker, of Orangeburg,
was drowned while in surf bathing on
Sullivan's Island, opposite the street
leading from station No. 19, near the
rocks, late Friday afternoon. Mrs.
Joe Bell, of Charleston, and Miss
Pauline Cart, of Orangeburg, narrowly
escaped a like fate, being saved
only after the most heroic efforts.
The following account of the sad affair
is taken from The News and
Courier:
The three ladies named and Prof.
Francis L. Parker entered the surf
ibout H:30 o'clock. The tide at thi.
hour was dead low ami still running
out. They found that, although the
water was comparatively shallow, being
not more than wist deep, the undertow
was so swift that they were
unable to retain their footing. The
ladies called to Prof. Parker that the
undertow had them. He quickly
seized them, bunched them togeiuer
and called for help.
Mr. Tom Buist, of Charleston, was
the first to reach them, and Prof.
Parker turned over Miss Wannaniaker,
who had become panic stricken,
to him. It had been very necessary,
however, for Mr. Buist to make a
long run up the beach before reaching
them and he was practically exhausted
when he undertook to support
Miss Wannaniaker, and could
not keep her head above the surface.
Mr. George Huguenln, also of
Charleston, being attracted by the
calls for help, hastened to Mr. Buist's
assistance. Mr. Huguenin has been ill
recently and his strength was soon
gone. He was unable to support Miss
Wannaniaker and she sank. Mr. Jas.
Adger, who ..ad been swimming some
distance further out, close to the jetties,
reached the ?scene of trouble
alaiut this time, and undertook to assist
Miss Wannaniaker, but was him

WANTS DIVORCE

And Give His Two Illegitimate

iirttu 11? #
T*im iuw iurmai application made
Thursday in the New York Supreme
Court for a final judgement of divorce,
following an Interlocutory decree
signed by Justice Crane on April
6th last, is made public astartling
story of martial infidelity and double
life, in which a prominent resident
of Borough Park, Brooklyn, is the
defendant, and a social scandal
which has agitated Boston at times
for several years is revived.
The man who is charged by his
wife with having led a double life is
Joseph T. Cunningham, said to be
drawing a salary of $15,000 as manager
of an electrical company with
offices at 111 Broadway, Manhattan.
His wife, Mrs. Ksahel S. Cunningham,
of 66 Clifton place, charges that he
has been living with one Lizzie Deinpsey
at 5817 Fifteenth avenue. Borough
Park, and by whom he has had
two children.
From the papers and tlic testimony
in the case which was taken before
Justice Crane on March 2J2d. much
of the romance of the Cunninghams
and the sorrow of the wife at her
discovery of her husband's transfer
of his affections to the Dempsejr
woman is revealed. Letters of Mrs.
Cunningham aiso tell of her wish ?.o
endure self-abnegation in the nope
that, if she secured the divorce, her
husband would marry the mother of
his children.
Mr. and Mrs. Cunningham were
married at the Hotel Oxford on December
14, 1894. At that time Cunningham,
it is said, had great political
aspirations in Boson, being a
friend of former Mayor Josiah Quincy
and a close associate with other
prominent Democratic politicians of
Massachusetts. He was at one time
a member of the Democratic National
committee, it is said.
Mrs. Cunningham was also of u
prominent family in Boston, highly
cultured and educated, and of independent
means. The marriage of the
parties was a social event. A few
years later, it is suid, and the charge
is made In the papers in the action
brought by Mrs. Cunningham, the
husband became enamored with one
Lizzie Denipsey, daughter of a prominent
society man in Boston, and deserted
his wife, after having dissipated
as much of her fortune as he
could get hold upon the woman who
is mentioned as the correspondent
in the action, it is that Mrs. Cunningham,
after tracking her husband
and the Dempsey woman to New
York city, about seven years ago,
horsewhipped the woman in the
Grand Central staton
The discovery that Cunningham
and Miss Denipsey were living together
in Borough Park was made,
the plaintiff says in her testimony, in
June, 1906, and it is claimed that the
$15,000 Queen Anne cottage. 5817
Ffteenth avenue, which stands in
Miss Dempsey's name was a present
to her from Cunningham. Testimony
was given at the trial that Miss
Denipsey is known there as Mrs.
Cunningham, and that few in the
Borough Park coterie of friends of
Cunnigham knew otherwise.
Mrs. Cunningham says, in a letter,
because of the two little girls, daughters
of the Dempsey woman and Cunningham,
she is averse to any expoure
of the marital infelicities that
have came between herself and husband.
She writes:
"The little girls." she says, "are
six and four and a half years, respec
ttvely. Because of them I was able
to bring myself to a point where I
was willing to divorce hlin. It was
through him that I lost my horses,
jewelry and other property?everything
dear to me. I horsewhipped
her seven years ago when he wanted
to come back to me."

At Jersey Shore. Pa., shocking reports
of carelessness regarding bathing
there have bobbed up from time

these frolicsome bathers have been
the cause of complaint. In fact, the
costumes have been overlooked entirely,
and it is this that the town

Passengers on the trains and trolley
cars passing the river have told
stories whereby they gazed with a
dread curiosity on the wator frolics.

CUPID VS CUPIDITY
Blind God Routed in Honeymoon,
Says Harrison.
Now Ho Wants a Divorce?Declares
Wedded Life Has Been Anything
hut IMcnsaut.
Rudely awakened on his honeymoon
up the Hudson river by the
declaration of his bride of a few
hours that she had married hltn only
"to collect alimony and live Independently,"
Arthur W. Harrison, has
sued for divorce. Here are some of
the allegations in his complaint.
That on their honeymoon his wife
treated him cruelly, and kicked and
cuffed him about.
That she pulled his hair. ,
That she assaulted him and slap- |
ped him in the face, wounding his '
pride. |
1 That she drew a loaded revolver i
and threatened his life.
That she grabbed a handful of his '
ear w he tied a tie, and unnicrci-M
fully flayed him about the head un- \
til he called for help. i
That she fnli??wn.i iii...
nun iu ihjs omce
and down-town places, and annoyed '
and abused him.
That she demanded $3 5 monthly j
allowance and refused to return and j
live with him. t
That she stayed away from home
o' nights and didn't tell him where i
she went.
That she Is nervous and quarrel- (
some and that she made life a burden i
for him.
That she did it all again. I
The Harrisons. Arthur \V. and j
Mary K., were married on July 14. (
1901. according to the complaint, j
and their troubles commenced before
they had gotten a fair start on their ^
honeymoon. ^
It was then she told him she had ^
married him to collect alimony, and
life wasn't exactly pleasant from that ^
time on. j
He declared he was "treated" with
"cruelty and inhumanity" the rest of ^
the trip, and it didn't stop when they |
reached home. But they managed to
get along without police interference
until April, 1903. At that time because
Arthur would not produce the q
money for a new gown, he avers that ^
she set upon him as he entered home ^
one evening and battered him so his
friends had difficulty in establishing
his identitiy. ^
This breach was patched tip until
September, when it was said that
Harrison met Arthur with a large re- .
volver one night, and compelled him
to stand still while she explained c
just what she thought of him.
Then came the tie incident. ,.
It seems that Harrison, like most i
men who wear collars, can tie a tie ^
without invoking profanity and with- .,
out donning war paint. He declares 4
there was nothing in his attitude at
the time in question that might have '
been construed into a declaration of
war, but, nevertheless, Mrs. Harrison,
while he was deeply engrossed
in making the bow look properly put
together, .grabbed an ear and an end
of the tie and belabored him about
the head until he yelled "nuff," and *
bellowed for help.
About then is when, according to c
Harrison, his wife began staying out
o' nights, and he absently forgot to
return home frequently. Consequently
she began to call at his office and
at the patent office and other places,
and everybody within earshot knew
just how she felt about it.
it was ttnally agreed that he would
give her $35 a month and be let alone ,
This was on June 27, 190t>, and for
the first time in five years, Harrison
felt happy. In September, however. ?
business was bad and he felt he could '
not afford happiness as a $35-a- ^
month luxury, so he asked his wife
to come back and love him again. ^
Mrs. Harrison declined, and de- f
manded her $35, with the result that
Harrison is willing to chuck it all
and forego the pleasure of family
life and once again assume the role
with the single tared.
Now he wants the court to take up
his burdens and keep his wife away [
from his office, and give him a di- '
vorce, a inensa et thoro, which looks 1
like a frill, but means "from bed and
board." (
