Published by The TRIBUNE PUBLISHING COMPANY. IS SAMPSON CRAZY? Admiral's Wife. Says He is Certainly Losing His Mind. IS GROWING STEADILY WORSE All Department Correspondence Relating to Contrevercy Is Iligidly Kept From Him, According to Wife's Admission. According to a Boston special Mrs. W. T. Sampson, wife of the admiral, whose health has been a question of dispute, since his retirement to Sunapee Lake, N. H., settles the subject in the following statement, made a day or two ago to Mrs. E. N. McCalla, one of her closest friends. "He is steadily growing worse," she said. "I still hope for the best, but I feel the end, the pitiful end, is not far off. I have done everything in my power to keep his mind from brooding over the affair at Washington (meaning the Schley hearing). I got him up to this place, away from our friends, newspapers and navy business, thinking the change would do him good. I thought if there was no one to talk to him about this controversy and nothing to remind him of it, he would forget it." "But it is not a bit of use. Although we do not discuss it between ourselves, I know he broods over it continuously. It haunts him day and night. It has prompted the birth of many distressing delusions in his mind." "I keep all the department correspondence from him and attend to it myself. He doesn't know anything about the progress of the trial. He takes no interest in it—because—because he doesn't comprehend everything. "He hasn't had a clear understanding of events for nearly a month past and he has not any ideas of the present and future. That is what distresses me so much." GOVERNMENT REFUSES TO AID. Hackett Requests that Attorney Be Appointed to Assist Judge Lemley, But Knox Says "Nit." A special from Buffalo, N. Y., says: Acting Secretary of the Navy Hackett has been pressing Attorney General Knox, both by wire and letter, to appoint one of the assistant attorneys general to assist Captain Lomley, the judge advocate of the Schley court of inquiry, in the conduct of the case before the court. The attorney general, however, has declined to take a step which he believes would look like the government prosecution of the officer under investigation. The government, in his opinion, should have no part in the inquiry. It is an inquiry by the navy department, made at the request of Admiral Schley, and the government has noting to do with it. The president himself recommended Admiral Schley for promotion, and now for the department of justice to detail an officer under it to assist in the conduct of the case would inevitably be construed as a desire on the part of the administration to convict Admiral Schley. The attorney general was sustained in his position by all the members of the cabinet whom he consulted. The whole question was gone over carefully at a meeting held in the Glenny house, adjoining the Milburn residence, Sunday. Attorney General Knox wired his decision to Acting Secretary Hacket at once. Arranging Preliminaries of Hearing. A Washington dispatch says: Two members of the Schley court of inquiry were at the navy department Monday morning, namely, Admiral Dewey, the president of the court, and Admiral Benham. Admiral Dewey was in conference with Judge Advocate Lemly for some time respecting the arrangements which Captain Lemly has made for the seating of the press and spectators in the court room and as to other details. POSTMASTER IN TROUBLE. Prominent Palmetto State Citizen Arrested for Embezzlement. An announcement in Columbia, S. C., Wednesday of the arrest of William J. Fair, postmaster at Newberry, for embezzlement caused great surprise. Fair is of excellent family and has for years been an important man in his section. He is a brother in law of Hon. Y. J. Pope, senior associate justice of the state supreme court. F. L. Bynum, a young lawyer, has been put in charge of the office at Newberry. The amount of the shortage is as yet unknown.

EMMAGOLDMAN HELD Judge Remands Her to Jail to Await Action of Court n Cases of Other Suspects Previously Arrested. At Chicago Wednesday Magistrate Prindiville decided that Emma Goldman, the anarchist lecturer under arrest there, should be held without bail pending the decision of similar cases in the superior court. Miss Goldman appeared for a hearing before the magistrate during the forenoon. She had not secured counsel, but in a determined voice declared that she was ready to act as her own attorney. The assistant city prosecutor, however, obtained a continuance of the hearing till September 19, the date set for the hearing of the other anarchists in custody. The court postponed its decision in the matter of bail, which Miss Goldman demanded the privilege of furnishing, until later in the day. As the charge against Miss Goldman, "conspiracy to murder President McKinley," is the one lodged against the local anarchists, who are named as conspirators with Miss Goldman, Magistrate Prindiville thought it wise to await the decision of the higher court. He said it would not be necessary for counsel to apply for a writ for Miss Goldman, as he would deal exactly with Miss Goldman as Judge Chetlain did with the other prisoners. When shown a dispatch from New York stating that Czolgosz admitted that there was a plot to assassinate the president and mentioning her, Miss Goldman said: "I can prove that I have not been in Buffalo since I left there the latter part of August. I don't believe that Czolgosz has confessed, because it does not seem reasonable that a man who declares that he had no one to assist him should implicate me. He has not confessed anything of the sort. I do not know what means the police might use to extort a confession, and a man is liable to say things that he does not mean." A Washington dispatch says: The department of justice has not decided upon any steps to secure possession of Emma Goldman for the purpose of taking action against her in the federal courts. She was arrested by the Chicago police on the request of the Buffalo authorities, and it is supposed by the department of justice that she will be taken to New York state. The secret service authorities state that she was not arrested at their request, and that they have no idea of proceeding against her unless directed by the department of justice to do so, or unless they secure testimony showing that she was involved in the shooting of the president. Chief Wilkie said that so far he has not secured any evidence tending to show that the anarchist bodies at Paterson, N. J., had anything to do with the shooting of the president. Chief Wilkie denied in most positive terms the report that his office had received warnings that the president's life would be attempted at Buffalo. WANTS ANOTHER ARBITRATION. Plant System Not Satisfied With Georgia's Assessment For Taxes. Comptroller General W. A. Wright, of Georgia, is having more trouble settling the question of the tax returns of the Plant system than he has had with any of the other roads. The company made a return of its property in Georgia, the Savannah, Florida and Western railroad, to which Comptroller General Wright dissented. He then assessed the property, and the matter went to arbitration. The contention was thought to have been settled. The Plant officials now ask that the whole thing be reopened. HEADQUARTERS OF CABINET. Glenny Residence Placed at Disposal President's Advisers. A Buffalo special says. The Glenny residence adjoining the Milburn house has been placed at the disposal of Secretary Cortelyou and the members of the cabinet for such use as they may desire to make of it. Secretary Cortelyou has moved part of the white house staff into the residence to secure greater quiet in the Milburn house, and practically all the work of dispatches and letters is being done there. STRIKERS ARE LOSING All Efforts at a Peaceful Settlement Have Dismally Failed. MILLS OF THE TRUST RESUMING Trouble Is Threatened at McKeesport Plants—Strikers Succeed In Keeping Non-Union Men From Work. A Pittsburg special says: The last efforts to settle the steel strike have failed. The general executive board of the Amalgamated association adjourned Monday evening without date, and without either accepting any of the peace propositions which have come indirectly from the United States Steel Corporation, or making any counter propositions, according to the official statement. The semi-official report is that the proposition secured for the Amalgamated association through the intervention of the representatives of the National Civic Federation, was unsatisfactory and that the entire matter of arranging for a settlement was left with President Shaffer. The board in its sessions of three days clamored for a settlement, but satisfactory terms and means were not at hand and the sessions resolved themselves into an informal discussion of the situation. It was stated by some of the members that the adjournment had left the matters practically as they were before the meeting had been called, and that the strike must go on as before, leaving arrangements for a possible settlement through a coveted direct conference between the representatives of the United States Steel Corporation and President Shaffer. Monday completed the first thirty days since the American Steel Company, the American Tin Plate Company and the American Steel Hoop Company began their attempt to start the union plants of the country in the face of the Amalgamated association strike. Aside from the Clarke plant, of the Steel Hoop Company and the upper and lower union mills of the Carnegie company, where the attempt to render the strike effective was never a success, the three companies have, during the month, succeeded in placing in operation seventy-six mills in the union plants single turn. Indications are that the number will be doubled within the next ten days if the strike is not settled before that time. Trouble At McKeesport. The strike situation in McKeesport reached an acute stage Monday morning, and serious trouble was feared as a result of the efforts of the striking tube workers to prevent men from returning to work as they did Saturday. The effort was almost perfectly successful, and where last week from 800 to 1,000 men went back into the mill not more than a dozen were able to elude the multitude of pickets and get back into the mill Monday morning. There was great excitement in McKeesport as a result of this turning out of the strikers. More than 2,000 of them congregated about the plant of the National Tube Company shortly after midnight and remained there until morning, when the employees who went to work last week reported for entry. Every approach to the mill was guarded most vigilantly, and around the main entrance more than 600 strikers and sympathizers gathered. In the streets adjacent to the mills were great crowds, and as men approached to go to work they were met and turned back. Almost all of the great force who returned last week reported for duty again, and there were many more who were willing to go back, but they were met with pickets as they advanced to the mill and forced to return home. Not over a dozen escaped the vigilance of the pickets and succeeded in getting into the mill. About fifty police were on duty around the mill, but no arrests were made. As a result of the disturbance the big tube mill is idle and completely tied up. TREATED TO TAR AND FEATHERS Man Who Approved Czolgosz's Act Receives Well-Deserved Treatment. As Casper, Wyo., Wednesday a German named Hans Wagner, who is said to have expressed sympathy with Czolgosz, was tarred and feathered and ridden out of town on a rail. Wagner will be lynched if he ventures back. Capital Stock Increased. The directors of the Moultrie, Ga. cotton mills have decided to increase the capital stock of the concern to $125,000. The capital stock now is $100,000. Jim Parker Relates His Experience In Knocking Out Czolgosz at a Critical Moment. James D. Parker, the Atlanta, Ga., negro who struck Czolgosz just as he shot President McKinley, has given an interview in which he describes the thrilling scene when the murderous attempt was made on the life of the nation's chief executive. The interview and some additional facts are given in a special from Buffalo, which says: "I was next in line behind the anarchist who shot the president. I tried to get in front of him several times, but he pushed me back with his elbow. A little girl had just shaken hands with the president when the assassin reached him. Czolgosz had the revolver concealed in a handkerchief, which was wrapped around the revolver and his hand." "Czolgozz did not extend his left hand, as some of the newspapers report. The president thought Czolgosz's right hand was sore and put out his hand to take the anarchist's left hand. As he did the anarchist fired twice, bam, ham. I struck him in the noso with my right fist and reached with my left hand to take the pistol from him. Several of the marines thought the officer was the man who did the shooting, but he polled to where I had Czolgosz down on the floor and said: "There is the man who shot him." "Czolgosz raised his pistol again to shoot either the president or myself, but at that time I choked him so hard that he couldn't shoot. "I struck him so hard that the blood gushed from his nose. We struggled some seconds before the secret service officers reached us When one of them, I think it was Foster, struck him and said: 'You, did you dare to shoot our president?' I wanted to cut his throat, but they took him from me. I believe that my striking Ccolgosz kept him from shooting until he emptied his pistol, and probably prevented the president from being wounded again." Parker has been living in Buffalo since last March, and had for several months been employed in the Plaza restaurant in the exposition grounds as a waiter. He got off from his work in order to shake hands with the president, and was the man immediately behind the assassin. He says he only did his duty, but does not relish the way in which the secret service men have attempted to create the impression that they overcame the assassin. He only regrets that he was not allowed to kill Czolgosz. "The twenty thousand white people there ought not to have expected a nigger to do it all," he said, "Some of them ought to have helped me kill him. We would have fixed him quick in Georgia." Farker is in deadly fear of the anarchists and says he will leave Buffalo soon, because he is afraid they will kill him. WAS APPROPRIATELY NAMED. Interpreter Says Name of Czolgosz is Pronounced "Choalgosh." Since the attempted assassination of President McKinley every newspaper reader in this country has been trying to learn the proper pronunciation of the surname of Leon Czolgosz, the man who shot him. Mr. William M. Doyas, official interpreter of Polish and Bohemian languages in the United States immigration office at Baltimore, and himself a Pole by birth, says that the would-be assassin's name should be pronounced "Choalgosh." "The word is derived from a Polish verb," said Mr. Doyas, "which means to drag or creep. Used as a noun, it means a creeping, crawling thing, such as a snake. In the present instance the name seems most appropriate." AFTER EMMA,GOLDMAN. Notorious Petticoat Anarchist WILL Soon Be Placed Under Arrest. Chicago police officials have announced that Emma Goldman is under surveillance not far from Chicago, although not in the city, they insist that she has been located and intimated that she will be arrested soon. FACTS ARE SUPPRESSED. Hixon Says Important Affairs In Phil Impines Are, Kect in the Dark. James Courtney Hilxson, ex-United States consul to Foochow, China, and formerly interpreter on the staff of General MacArthur, arrived at his home in Union Springs, Ala., Tuesday from Manila in fine health. He says President McKinley's views on the Philippine question are eminently correct in every particular. Many important facts which would shed great light on this subject, he asserts, have been purposely withheld from the American press. WAS A PLOT OF ANARCHISTS Culprit Says He Was Inspired to Do Dastardly Deed Through Speeches of Notorious Emma Goldman. A Buffalo special says: Leon Czolgosz, the self avowed disciple of Emma Goldman and the other radical anarchist leaders, who shot President McKinley, insists that he alone is responsible for his crime. He says that he talked the matter over in advance in a general way with his friends, but that he was not advised by them and that there was no plot or conspiracy, to take the life of the president in which any one else had a part. He declined to furnish the names of the men with whom he discussed the crime of Friday, but the police believe they will yet learn them, and when they do, they will have exposed the anarchistic plot of which they are confident the prisoner was the final agent of murder. Czolgosz submitted to six hours of examination and questioning at the hands of the police officials Saturday and was tired out when they led him back to his cell and locked him up for the night. The lengthy examination of the prisoner was fruitless save in so far as his own individual fate is concerned, for while he told nothing that would implicate any one else in his crime, he went over the scene at the Temple of Music when he shot the president again and again, completing a confession as ample as the law ever exacted. He even went to the extent of illustrating to the officers the manner in which he shot the president, and told with manifest pride how he deceived the president and his protectors with the bandaged hand that held the revolver. The statement of Czolgosz made to the police, transcribed and signed by the prisoner in part, is as follows: "I was born in Detroit nearly twenty-nine years ago. My parents were Russian Poles. They came here forty-one years ago. I got my education in the public schools of Detroit, and then went to Cleveland, where I got work. In Cleveland I read books on socialism and met a great many socialists. I was pretty well known as a-socialist in the west. After being in Cleveland for several years I went to Chicago, where I remained seven months, after which I went to Newburg, on the outskirts of Cleveland, and went to work in the Newbury wire mills. "During the last five years I have had as friends anarchists in Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit and other western cities, and, I suppose, became more or less bitter. Yes, I know I was. bitter. I never had much luck at anything and this preyed upon me. It made me morose and envious, but what started the craze to kill was a lecture by Emma Goldman. She was in Cleveland and I and other anarchists went to hear her. She set me on fire. "Her doctrine that all rulers should be exterminated was what set me to thinking so that my head nearly split with pain. Miss Goldman's words went ringing through me, and when I left the lecture I had made up my mind that I would do something heroic for the cause I loved. "Eight days ago, while I was in Chicago, I read in a Chicago newspaper of President McKinley's visit to the Pan-American exposition at Buffalo, and got here with the determination to put the chief executive out of the way." Notwithstanding the statement of Czolgosz, the general theory now held by the detectives is that a circle of the man's associates plotted the murder of President McKinley, and that he was picked by lot or induced by persuasion to carry out the conspiracy. They say that he larks the shrewdness he have planned and executed the crime as he did. After Strenuous Efforts Officials Fall to Extort Further Knowledge- to Extort Further Knowledge. Gzolgosz, the assailant of President McKinley, went through another long examination at Buffalo Monday at the hands of the police officials, but emerged from it without having added anything material to their knowledge of the case. The chief effort of the detectives was to draw from the prisoner some admission as to his accomplices, but he persistently stood to his denial that he was not assisted in any way in the commission of his crime. 27 This is the lion hearted, big fisted Savannah man that crushed the reptile anarchist before he could fire the third bullet into President McKinley. Mr. Parker was a constable several years ago in the Fourth Militia District of this county, and he knew how to handle a vile murderous villian promptly and effectively. The nation's gratitude goes out to brave Jim Parker. encouraging words to the Confer- be felt, and if ever a return is made he will be better appreciated and recognized.

Clairborne preached at 11 o'clock and Rev. W. A. Clark at night. After a little jubilee of songs and remarks from various ones, the Conference adjourned to meet at Woodville in 1902. Rev J. A. Jones and his people deserve great credit for the way they entertained the Conference. They had made large preparations and the delegates will long remember Cypress Slash Church. A quiet wedding took place at the Protestant Episcopal Church, of New York on Monday evening Aug. 19, the Reverend Doctor Sells officiated. The groom and bride were Mr Arthur Myers and Miss Lula M Purcell, both of Savannah. There were many friends who witnessed the wedding. The reception was given at the residence of Mrs. J. D. Hughes, 265 west 40th street, where the bride and groom will remain for the winter. Among those who were present were Mr. R H Adams, Mrs. Maria C Middleton, Mrs. Williams, Mrs. S E Anderson, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. S Johnson, all of Savannah. Appeals for Rev. Maxwell. To the Editor: Through your column I desire to respectfully call attention of the race, the Sabbath school workers especially, to the fact that one of the strongest men of the race, and a great man of God, at his home his dangerously ill. He contracted his present illness in availing himself of an opportunity to speak a word for the race before the Ogden party at the First Congregational church in New York, a very sick man for many months. I know nothing of his financial ability, but one thing is apparent, and that is that there must be a very heavy drain on it whatever it may be, I, therefore, without his knowledge ask that the churches and Sabbath schools over the country all join in an earnest prayer to the Father that Rev. L. B. Maxwell, the Interdenominational Sabbath School Field Worker, be again restored to health, that he again may take his place among the mighty men of the world in lifting up this race of the sea a higher order of civilization. Would it not also be a token of the Christian fidelity on the part of the Sabbath School Superintendents and teachers to remember Rev. Brother Maxwell. A hint to the wise is sufficient. From the North State. Greensboro, N. C. Dear Editor: I am in the gate city or city of flowers, Greensboro, N. C., of the state. Having reached here Friday the 16th of August from Winston N. C.; the great western metropolis of the state where I have since July 23rd, been enjoying the pure mountain air, delicious water and the extensive hospitality of old and new friends. For health and pleasure, Winston is second to none in the state. As I am looking ever closer, there pleas are plains ever, hence my lengthy stay of twenty five days, of all my pleasures while there, none greater than the receipt of your paper, THE TRIBUNE, which has kept me posted regarding the doings of our people there, whom you may be assured I am intensely interested. I shall leave this city for Newburn, N. C., my home, where I shall join my father, sister and brother for a week or ten days stay. Newburn being on the coast, I hope to derive all advantages and benefits that the state affords from a healthful standpoint. Politically speaking there is an unrest among our people which time alone can settle. There is quite an emigration from the state for all directions, largely North and West. To a very great degree, I think it the correct thing to be done for more reasons than I now have time to explain, however I will say that I have been leaving business has been greatly reduced and steps have and are being made to stop it.

The Negro is always "in it." SAVANNAH is the birth-place of the Negro who saved the president's life. The life of our chief magistrate was saved by a Negro. No other class of citizens is more loyal to this country than the Negro. A CERTAIN element in the south has been catering to foreign emigrants to locate within its borders. It has been demonstrated that the class that comes to this country is not the most desirable. A few days ago a colored lady was arrested by an officer at the Plant System denot. This lady had given no cause for the arrest. She was boisterously spoken to by the officer and was assaulted. Several complaints have been heard about the treatment of the colored patrons of this road by this officer. He is said to be very indiscreet. The attention of the railroad authorities is called to him. He must be taught to treat the patrons of the road more courteous. The sixth day of September will ever be remembered as one of the darkest days in American history by reason of one of the most cowardly and murderous attack on president William McKinley, the twice honored and beloved chief of the nation. That a man with the Godlike qualities of Mr. William McKinley should be the object of an assassin's malice, struck, not only the American people, but the whole civilized world with horror and dismay. Without the shadow of a cause or excuse, the most upright conscientious and purest man in public life to day, and the most prominent ruler of the greatest nation on earth, has been struck down by a creature having the resemblance of man, and at a time when the President was showing his love and pride for his country and his fellow man. The assassin's murderous attempt failed for President McKinley still lives, and the nation's heart goes out in fervent gratitude to God for his mercy in sparing him for his country and his noble and devoted wife. Every good man and woman pray that Mr. McKinley's battle with death will continue victorious and that he will be restored to his former health and vigor. Congregational Meeting. Sept. 5th to 8th inclusive, the Savannah District Conference of Congregational churches assembled at Trinity with the Cypress Slash Congregational church of which Rev. J. A. Jones is pastor. The Executive Committee met Thursday afternoon. At night, the welcome address was delivered by the pastor of the Cypress Slash church, and responded to by the moderator. After which, Rev. John W. Whittaker of Sayannah preached the opening sermon, which was followed by the Lord's Supper. Friday morning after devotions, the roll was made up; the treasurer made his report; then the body proceeded to elect the following officers: Rev. John W. Whittaker, Moderator; Rev. J. A. Jones, Ass't. Moderator; Rev. W. A. Clark, Treasurer; Miss Sarah M. Morrison, Sec. Committees on churches, Sunday schools, deceased ministers and licentiates, missionary societies, ministerial relief, temperance, and education were appointed by the moderator. Rev. J. H. H. Sengstacke, D. D., was made correspondent for the Congregationalist and Rev. J. A. Jones for the Advance. At the afternoon session of Friday, two very interesting and instructive papers were read by Miss Sarah M. Murrison, and Mrs. Lila L. Jones. These papers were very much appreciated and commented upon by all. The reports given in from the churches were encouraging showing activity and growth. At the night meeting, Rev. J. H. H. Sengstacke, D. D., delivered an address on the great work of the American Missionary Association, which was instructive, inspiring and suggestive. It was highly spoken of by all. Saturday morning after devotions, the minutes of the whole session up to that point were read for approval, then several questions bearing upon the work of the Conference and methods of extending and improving it were taken up and most enthusiastically discussed. Rev. C. H. Clairborne, moderator of the South East Georgia Conference of Congregational Churches, and Rev. G. W. Edwards, pastor of the A. M. E. church of Trinity, were here introduced to the body and both spoke JAMES B. PARKER. A New York Wedding. Very Respectfully, Smith W. Easley. will be better appreciated and recognized. This, the state of my birth is not the good old north state forever of which we have so often sang. I feel that Georgia affords greater things for the Negro polity than the white one. I say this with my face veiled for shame upon the proud name. With all my pleasant surroundings, with love ones, friends and acquaintances, Savannah's relationship is very dear to me. Can't just say when I will reach Savannah as I have some work to accomplish here. I will be accompanied to Newburn by my sister-in-law, Mrs. Catherine Unthank with whom we are stopping. President's Condition. After real encouraging news as to his recovery, President McKinley took a relapse on Thursday night, and all of his physicians were alarmed about his condition. Just before going to press it was learned that he was resting easier. Pridgen Pointers. Allow me space in your valuable paper to mention, M.s-Sadie J., Bradley, arrived here on last Sunday and opened school on Monday. Rain, rain, rain. All we can say about the season.

Johnson of Lakeland gave us a pop call on Friday. Come again Bro. Johnson, you are welcome. The heaviest train of the week was Lakeland, the train and continued about three hours, causing a great washout on the Plant System and the northbound passenger train run into the affected track without notice and caused a wreck, but fortunately no lives were lost. It was one of the largest wrecks so scie ever seen on the Plant System. Mrs Hudson of Scott Lake was a pleasant visitor to Mrs. Simpkins and continued with Mrs. A. L. Bright. On the fish, the fish.

Sellers from Ada.Chapter, No. 3, also Grand Associate Matron of Georgia; and one of the most able speakers and entertainers in our Order, subject: "Pleading for the seamed breast", by Patron tighnum, the nummor that part of the program closed, the hour having arrived for preaching. Divine services opened by singing and prayer was offered by Rev. P. Andrews, Rev. A. J. Gould sang Blessed assurance, and took for his text Mat. 2:2, verse, "For we have seen his star and have come to worship him." We would be glad to give the sermon in full but time and space forbids. However the sermon was a naster piece of oratory and many hearty amens were heard during its delivery. Among the distinguished visitors and members of the order were sister Crawford of Bethel Chapter, No. 19, also sisters Ellis Wil on, Alberta Mason, Abba Mason, sisters McRae and Mitchell and S. S. Mincey, W. P. all from chapter 19. Sisters Mattie Williams and Mollie Maloy from Copeland Chapter. Other distinguished visitors not members, were Prof. William Wilder, Prof. A. W. Thomas and Miss J Anna Hall, one of our leading teachers of this section. We are always glad to have Miss Hall to call. W. Henry Howze. MASONIC COLUMN All arrangements have been made for the Grand Lodge communication on Oct 8th On the 27th ult. the hall of Hour Glass Lodge was consumed by fire. All of the jewels etc. were lost, valued at several hundred dollars. Grand Lecturer J. R. Thornton visited Anchor Lodge at its recent meeting and enthused the brethren by giving them good tidings from the Craft. The Grand Secretary after several weeks' absence, has returned to his post of duty and succeeded in answering the large number of letters that accumulated during his absence. Past Master Randall at Perry's Mill informs us that Bro. James Swift was seriously shot by a preacher. The doctor thinks he will recover. The would-be-murderer has not been caught. Bro. Swift is a loyal member of his lodge. The higher degree brethren are still quarreling among themselves. Undoubtedly one of the factions is right. Both of them should not be fostered. Those of us who have the tranquility of the order at heart should not connect ourselves until the factions get together and settle whatever differences there may be. At any rate if Georgia desires to retain fraternal relations with the District of Columbia and other grand bodies, we will have to eschew one of these factions. The woods are full of candidates for the Grand East., and each one has adopted divers plans to reach the delegates. It can be plainly seen that the office is not seeking the man Our Grand Lodge is at a juncture where cool heads and excellent judgement should be maintained. The office should seek the man, and he should be sound in masonic doctrine, conversant with the landmarks and understand fully the needs of the grand body. Mere sentiment and personal likes should not prevail. Selfishness should be cast aside; only the broad principle of who can best steer the ship of state should abound.

She was a loving and faithful mother. May she rest in peace. Dear mother thou art gone to rest, Add left us here below, But we will meet you by and by, When Gabriel's trumpet shall blow. We bow submission to the will, Of him who died for thee And paid the ransom due for all, Upon the cruel tree. The Lord has called thee home to rest, For so he deemed it fit. And though we mourn the heavy loss, We cheerfully submit. Sleep on beloved rother sleep, We know we'll meet again, Where all God's people shall be free, From sorrow toil and pain.

Religious Celebration. As mentioned in our last issue, the anniversary of the Nicolsonboro Baptist church was celebrated on Sundav last. Early in the morning several teams left the city carrying out many of the friends of the church, some of whom have been regular visitors to the anniversary services of the church, while it was the first visit for some. The morning service was not as well attended as usual, but was greatly enjoyed. Rev. Jolin W. Whittaker, was present and preached the anniversary sermon, which was one full of instruction and good things for the hearers. Rev. Hosea Maxwell was also present and assisted in the services. After enjoying the sweet spiritual blessings of the morning a recess was taken, during which time the visitors were invited to the school house near by and found in store a repast of good things to satiate one's appetite and each vied with the other in enjoying the same. The spread was a bountiful one indeed and all arose from the table with the one thought "it is good for us to be here." In the afternoon, preaching was dispensed with and a good old time song service and expression meeting was had at which time several of the visitors expressed their satisfaction of the time spent, and complimented the congregation on the beautiful and very neat little edifice. Rev. Alexander Harris, the pastor was in good spirits and in his inimitable manner expressed his appreciation of the visit of his several friends. Rev. Harris has been the pastor of this church since its organization and the members were loud in their expressions of the service he had been to them during the twelve years.

The church will patronize all enterprises that are owned and controlled by our people; that is, if it is a business affair, and provided we are treated as other people would treat us, let it be an excursion boat or any other business enterprise. A hint to the wise is suffice. Crowd too Large. The Mock Court that was to have taken place at Harris street-hall on Monday evening last, benefit of F. A. B. Church, had to be called off on account of the tremendous crowd that presented themselves for admission. By 9:30 o'clock the hall up and down stairs was packed to its uttermost capacity and the steps and the side walk to East Broad street were also so crowded that one would be obliged to clobow his way to pass. The prize offered to the person selling the largest number of tickets was won by Dea. R. H. Hooks, an Oxford Bible. More than $150.00 were raised, and had the hall been sufficient to accommodate the crowd a much larger amount would have been realized. Rev. Carr stated that the Mock Court will be given at a future date. Evening Social. Miss Sidie Middleton entertained Friday evening of last week at her residence, 628 Wheaton street, in honor of Miss Annie Edgell of Beaufort, S. C. The evening was very pleasantly spent.

Desperately Wounded By Assassin's Bullet On Grounds of Buffalo Exposition. While Shaking Hands With a Tremendous Threng In the Temple of Music, Nation's Chief Executive Receives Two Bullets In His Body. President McKinley was shot and seriously injured but be assaulted while holding a spear in the Temple of Music, Pan-American exposition, at Buffalo, N. Y., a few minutes after 4 o'clock Friday afternoon. One shot took effect in the right breast, the other in the abdomen. The first shot was not of a serious nature, and the bullet was soon extracted. Specials from Buffalo tell the story of the tragedy as follows: threw themselves forward as with one impulse and sprang toward the would-be assassin. Two of them were United States secret service men who were on the lookout and whose duty it was to guard against just such a casualty as had befallen the president and the nation. The third was a bystander, a negro, who had an instant previously grasped in his dusky palm the hand of the president. As one man the trio hurled themselves upon the president's assault and in a second he was thrown to the floor, his weapon was wrested from his erasn President McKinley, the idol of the American people, the nation's chief executive and the city's honored guest, lies prostrate, suffering the pangs inflicted by the bullets of a cowardly assassin, while his life hangs in the balance. Out on Delaware avenue, at the home of John G. Milburn, president of the Pan-American exposition, with tearful face and heart form, his conflicting hopes and fears sits the faithful wife, whose devotion is known to all the nation. It was a few moments after 4 p.m. while President McKinley was holding a public reception in the great Temple of Music on the Pan-American grounds that the cowardly attack was made, with what success time alone can tell. Standing in the midst of dense crowds, numbering thousands, surrounded by every evidence of good will, pressed by a motley throng of people, showered with expressions of love and loyalty, besieged by multitudes, all eager to clasp his hand, amid these surroundings and with the ever-recurring plaudits of an, admiring army of sight-seers ringing in his ears, the blow of the assassin fell and in an instant pleasure gave way to palm, admiration to agony, folly turned to fury and pandemonium followed. Planned with the diabolical ingenuity and fineness of which anarchy or nihilism is capable, the would-be assassin carried out the work without a hitch, and should his designs fail and the president survive, to Divine Providence can be attributed the result. The president, although well guarded by United States secret service detectives, was fully exposed to such an attack as occurred. He stood at the edge of the raised dais upon which stands the great pipe organ at the east side of the magnificent structure. Throngs of people crowded in to gaze upon their executive, perchance to clasp his hand, and then fight their way out in the good-natured mob that every minute swolled and mollified at the points of ingress and egress to the building. The president was in a cheerful mood, and was enjoying, to the fullest extent, the hearty evidences of good will which everywhere met his gaze. Upon his right stood John G. Milburn, of Buffalo, president of the Pan-American, chatting with the president and introducing to him any special persons of note who approached. Upon the iplatform stood Secretary Cortelyou. It was shortly after 4 p.m. when one of the throng, which surrounded that party, a medium-sized man of ordinary appearance and plainly dressed in black, approached it to greet the president. Both Secretary Cortelyou and President Milburn noticed that the man's hand was swathed in a bandage or handkerchief. Reports of bystanders differ as to his hand. He worked his way amid the stream of people up to the edge of the daisy until he was within two feet of the president. Mr. McKinley smiled, bowed and extended his hand in that spirit of generality the American people so well know, when suddenly the sharp crack of a revolver rang out loud and clear above the hum of voices, the shuffling of myriads of feet and vibrating waves of applause that ever and anon swept here and there over the assemblage. There was an instant of almost complete silence. The president stood stock still, a look of hesitancy, almost of bewilderment, on his face. Then he retraced a step, while a pallor began to come over his features. The multitude, only partially aware that something serious had happened, paused in surprise, while the necks were craned and all eyes turned as one toward the rostrum where a great tragedy was being enacted. Then came a commotion. With the leap of a tiger three men Assassin Czolgosz Is Czolgozz still continues to eat well and sleep well and seems absolutely indifferent to his fate. He makes no injuries as to the condition of the president and apparently cares nothing at all as to the outcome of his injuries. If any further proof were needed that, Czolgozz was the guest of Chichemar snarchists shortly before he went toalo on his murderous mission against President McKinley, it was threw themselves forward as with one impulse and sprang toward the would-be assassin. Two of them were United States secret service men who were on the lookout and whose duty was to guard against just such a calamity as had befallen the president and the nation. The third was a bystander, a negro, who had an instant previously grasped in his dusky palm the hand of the president. As one man the trio hurled themselves upon the president's assailant and in a second he was thrown to the floor, his weapon was wrested from his grasp and strong arms piledon him down. Then the multitude which thronged the edifice began to come to a realization sense of the awfulness of the scene of which they had been unwilling witnesses. The.crowd that for a moment had stood mute and motionless as in bewildering ignorance of the enormity of the thing, now with a single impulse surged forward toward the stage of the horrible drama. For a moment the confusion was terrible. The crowd surged forward regardless of consequences. Men shouted and fought, women screamed and children cried. Some of those nearest the doors fled from the edifice fearful of a slampede, while hundreds of others from the outside struggled blindly forward in an effort to penetrate the crowd and solve, the mystery of excitement and panic which every moment grew and swelled into the congested interior of the edifice. After the first shock of the assassin's shots, President McKinley retreated a step, then as the detectives leaped upon his assailant he turned, walked steadily to a chair and seated himself, at the same time removing his hat and bowing his head in his nanda. In an instant Secretary Cortelyou and President Milburn were at his side. His waistcoat was hurriedly opened, the president meanwhile admonishing those about him to remain calm and telling them not to be alarmed. "But you are wounded," cried his secretary; "let me examine." "No, I think not," answered the president. "I am not-badly hurt. I assure you." Nevertheless, his outer garments were hastily loosened and when a trickling stream of crimson was seen to wind its way down his breast, spreading its tell-tale strain over the white surface of the linen, their worst fears were confirmed. As soon as the crowd in the Temple of Music had been dispersed sufficiently the president was removed in the automobile ambulance and taken to the exposition hospital, where an examination was made. The president's assailant in the meantime had been hustled to the rear of the building by the exposition guards, where he was held while the building was cleared, and later he was turned over to Superintendent Bull, of the Buffalo police department, who took the prisoner to No. 13 police station, and afterwards to police headquarters. The best medical skill was summoned and within a brief period several of Buffalo's best known practitioners were at the patient's side. The president retained the full powers of his faculties until placed on the operating table, and was subjected to an anaesthetic. Upon the first examination it was found that one bullet had struck him on the upper portion of the breast bone, glancing and not penetrating; the second bullet penetrated the abdomen 5 inches below the left nipple and 1 1-2 inches to the left of the median line. The abdomen was opened through the bullet wound. It was found that the bullet had penetrated the stomach. The opening in the front wall of the stomach was carefully closed with silk stitches, after which a search was made for a hole in the back wall of the stomach. This was found and also closed in the same way. The further course of the bullet could not be discovered, although careful search was made. The abdominal wound was closed without drainage. No injury to the intestines or other abdominal organ was discovered. The patient stood the operation well, pulse of good quality, rate of 130; condition at the conclusion of operation was gratifying. Absolutely different supplied Sunday by three of the prisoners in the central station in Chicago. They identified a photograph of the murderous "red" as a picture of a man whom they saw at the home of Abraham Isaak. 515 Carroll avenue, not longer ago than July 12.

LONG HOURS OF FEARFUL SUSPENSE Additional Details of the Tragedy--Story of an Eye- Witness to the Shooting--Mrs. McKinley at Last Gives Way to Poignant Feelings. Mrs. McKinley Bears Shock Bravely. Cheering messages regarding the condition of President McKinley were sent out from Buffalo Sunday. Every word that came from the big vine-clad house on Delaware avenue, in which the stricken chief magistrate of the nation lies battling for life, was reassuring and the chanches of his recovery are so greatly improved that all of those who have kept the patient vigil at his bedside feel strongly that his life will be spared. The developments of Saturday and Sunday night were dreaded, but hour after hour passed the distinguished patient, struggling there beneath the watchful eyes of physicians and trained nurses, showed not an unfavorable symptom. Five times during the day Sunday the eminent doctors and surgeons assembled for consultation, and each time the verdict was unanimous that what change had occurred was for the better. Also for the first time nourishment was administered. It was liquid in form and was injected hypodermically to avoid the possibility of irritating the walls of the stomach. All day the members of the cabinet and others associated with the president in public life went away almost jubilantly all reflecting the hopeful outlook at the Milburn house. Mrs. McKinley continues to bear up bravely and her fortitude under the circumstances is regarded as remarkable. Secretary Cortelyougin whose hands the management of everything seems to be, was able to take some rest Sunday morning for the first time since the tragedy. MessAGES of Sympathy From Royalty. Almost every government in the world has been heard from, most of the crowned heads of Europe sending personal messages. Among the latter are King Edward VII, Emperor William, the kings of Portugal, Italy and Sweden, and the sultan of Turkey, President Loubet, of France has also cabled his sympathy direct. One of the most touching messages thus far received - was from Madame Laborl, the wife of Mattre Laborl, who defended Dreyfus in his famous trial at Rennes. The interest in the president's condition was such across the Canada border that the press was asked to furnish a bulletin Sunday morning to be read in the churches in Quebec and Montreal, and many requests of a similar character came direct to Secretary Cortelyou from different parts of the United States and all over the world, in fact, have fairly overwhelmed, Secretary Cortelyou. Story of Shooting By Eye-Witness. On many material points the witnesses of Friday afternoon strayed fall to agree. The action of the tragedy was very fast and it was followed by a scene of confusion, in which it was difficult to either see or hear with accuracy. A newspaper reporter who stood just behind the president when the shooting occurred gave one of the clearest accounts related so far. He said: "I stood about 10 feet from the president and saw Czolgosz approach him. The latter had his right hand drawn up close to his breast and a white linen handkerchief wrapped about it bore the appearance of a bandage. He extended his left hand, and I am quite sure the president thought he was injured, for he leaned forward and looked at him in a sympathetic way. When directly in front of the president, Czolgosz threw his right hand forward and fired. I saw the flash and smoke followed by the report and then heard the second shot. "Instantly John Parker, the colored man, and Secret Service Agent Foster were upon Czolgosz, and they bore him to the floor. Czolgosz, lying paddlestill retained a hold on his revolver and seemed to be trying to get his arm free to fire again. The president did not fall. He raised his right hand and felt of his breast and seemed to be maintaining his upright position only by wonderful effort. I am sure he did not speak at that moment. Immediately after the president was cared for at the exposition grounds, Director General W. I. Buchanan started for the Milburn residence to forestall any information that might reach there by telephone or otherwise. Very luckily he was first to arrive with the information. The Niagara Falls trip had tired Mrs. McKinley, and on returning to the Milburn residence she took leave of her pieces, the Misses Berber, and the president's piece, Miss with a look which I cannot describe, but which I shall never forget, and in a moment reeled back into the arms of Secretary Cortelyou. Czolgosz's revolver had by that time been knocked from his handkorchief which lay at his feet. Czolgosz was picked up, forced back and again knocked down. Mr. Cortelqou and Mr. Milburn supported the president and led him to a chair. His courage was superb and while he was conscious he was the master of the pain which he suffered. When the amhulance came and a stretcher was brought in the president started forward and partly regained his feet unassisted. I heard not a word from the assailant of the president. He was struck down the moment he fired the second shot, and if he did speak it probably was in exclamation at the very rough treatment he was recrying." A Day of Anxiety. During the day Saturday very little that was definitely good filtered through the watchful cordon around the president's bedside. His pulse was as high as 146, but men whose pulses have registered 200 have lived. His temperature was 102, not an extraordinarily high figure, even considering President McKinley's age. The doctors issued five bulletias between 6 o'clock a. m. and 6:30 p. m., and because they showed an absence of unfavorable conditions they were generally regarded as very hopeful. Vice President Roosevelt reached the Milburn residence shortly after 1 o'clock Saturday afternoon, after traveling continuously since 7 o'clock, when he left Burlington, Vt. He was escorted from the station as far as the Hotel Iroquois by a squad of mounted police and the remainder of the way by a squad of bicycle police. He expressed his deep distress at the tragedy, but beyond that declined to make any statement. By evening all of the members of the cabinet except Secretary Hay and Secretary Long arrived. Secretary Wilson and Secretary Root spent most of the day at the Milburn residence. All the members of the cabinet will remain in Buffalo until the result of the wound is determined. General Brooke, commander of the department of the east, who arrived early Saturday morning from New York, assumed personal charge of the military and under his direction picket lines were placed in every direction. The police force and the soldiers roped off the streets which intersect Delaware avenue near the Milburn residence, and teams and pedestrians were kept off the streets. Mrs. McKinle Breaks Down. The fact that Mrs. McKinley was permitted to see the president when he was recovering from the surgical operation Friday evening was made public by the bystanders Saturday. The exact details of that meeting are unknown save to the physicians and nurses who were in attendance. The medical men have discharged enough, however, to make certain the fact that Mrs. McKinley, weak and nervous as she is, never faltered at the ordeal. She walked to the bed without faltering, she clasped the president's hand in both of hers and kissed it fondly. Faint greetings were exchanged between them, but that was all. In the faint light the nurses and physicians stood about him, silhouettes in the shadows. Then the president spoke: "We must bear up," he said. "It will be better for both of us." Mrs. McKinley arose without a word and left the room. She had played the part of a strong woman, with nerves of steel. Tears came to her eyes, but as long as she was in the president's sight she would not give way. Once in her own apartment, however, she broke down completely, and even with Dr. Rixey's care, it was hours before she recovered. Again Saturday she paid a visit to the president's bedside. She appeared much calmer and more contained. The president asked to see her, and his physician did not have the heart to refuse his request. She was there but a few minutes, seated at his bedside, as he in his devotion to her in her illness had so often been at hers. Mrs. McKinley had been warned not to talk, and the president and his wife exchanged only a few words. Duncan, as well as their hostess, Mrs. Milburn, and went to her room to rest. Mr. Buchanan broke the news as gently as possible to the nieces, and consulted with them and Mrs. Milburn as to the best course to pursue in breaking the news to Mrs. McKinley. Mrs. McKinley awoke from her sleep at about 5:30 o'clock, and was made aware of the tragedy. She bore up under the terrible shock with resigned and rare fortitude. "Willie, you shouldn't put your arm around'me in public." "This isn't in public." "But it's half public." "Well, I've only got my arm half way around."—Life. Religion Losing Ground.
