(Special to The "Washington Post ) Philadelphia, August 7. The Xorth American 'tomorrow will print a spe cial from Atlantic City giving the de tails of an alleged assault on Attorney General Knox last night tip the cafe of a fashionable hotel at that resort. The special says: "The cause of the assault on Mr. Knox was his attitude against the trusts. His assailants were Charles T. Shoen, the multimillionaire of Philadel phia and Pittsburg; Theodore Cramp, the Philadelphia shipbuilder, and a Mr. Stevenson, also well known in Phila delphia. "Attorney General KnoX was attack ed by three men, and superior numbers defeated him. . Theodore Cramp is the man who delivered the blow. It was a right-hander that sent the attorney general spinning backward-" The Atlantic city dispatch explains that Mr- Knox and a party of friends, including several ladies, were taking svsyr in the cafe about 11 o'clock, wlm the three men. who are alleged to have assaulted him, drove up and entered, taking seats at a table near that of the attorney general.' The loud talk of the newcomers is said to have been objected to by Mr. Knox- The head waiter remonstrated and an apology was made. The talk was. soon resumed, however, and there -was an other remonstrance .and another apology. In the meantiaie Mr. Knox had been recognized and the three men whose talk had been objected to are said to e began indulging in remarks dis- j-iivrtrii, u io -.idiintr.i, o nie liiici tax fender. His remarks are said to have been based on the attorney general's hostile attitude toward trusts- He did not admire Mr. Knox's steps in the di rection of their dissolution, and said 80- The special continues: "Just who struck the first blow can not be said positively. But certain it is that while Mr. Knox was making a protest to Mr. Sthoen against his in temperate language he was being call ed names that startled every one with in hearing. "Then came a blow. It was struck by Mr. Cramp, and landed fairly on the telt of the attorney general, who found himself opposed to three men, all much larger afid heavier than he. The blow staggered him back .against the wall. "At the moment a half-dozen waiters rushed up- The head waiter seized Mr Cramp from behind his arms. Another grappled with Mr. Stevenson and drag ged him out of the struggle. Others took hold of Mr. Sehoen. Mr. Knox was speedily surrounded by his friends, and they quickly retired from the cafe and . were driven away to their hotel. The blow he received from Mr. Cramp had stunned him for a moment, but he quickly recovered. . "The noise and confusion' had at tracted more than a score of the hotel quests to the scene- They crowded in to the cafe, where Mr- Sehoen, Mr. Cramp and , Mr. Stevenson still re mained. The waiters had drawn a cor don around itheir table. Mr. Sehoen and his friends ordered .wine, but were politely informed that it would not be served to them.'' (By Associated Press.)

One of them aimed a blow at my stomach, Sut it failed to reach me. I have no Idea who he was. What happened to him I am . not prepared to say. Those things occur very quickly.

A good healthy Canadian takes pleas ure in -telling about food, and how he got well by using the right kind of food and drink. He says, "In Nov. '99. I began to feel bad every day and gradually got worse. I did not lose my appetite. On the con trary after having a good meal I felt better, but after being at work perhaps an hour or so I would have "terrible pains all over my body. I lost consid erable time from my w ork. sometimes a few hours and sometimes two or three days. Finally I went to the Winnipeg Hos pital for a thorough examination and was told it was 'simply indigestion.' Certainly it was 'simply indigestion' but I never had anything make me feel worse. I can sympathize with any one who has 'simply indigestion.' Well I dragged through th winter in about the same condition and got a lit tle better in the'summer. but in Oct., 1900, the same old pains came back and I concluded I must change my diet if I expected to get any comfort, so I quit drinking tea and went on Postum Food Coffee and Grape-Xuts Break'ast Food.

CORONATION EVE LONDON MAINTAINS ITS EVERY DAY ASPECT CHANCES IN PROGRAMME Very Little DecoratinK Done In the Entire CityThe Miserable Weath er Referred to as 'King' Weafu er" Westminster the Centre of What Little Activity there Is The Precious Hegtalia, Heavily Gnard ed, Taken to the Abbey Some of the Special Embassies Still on Hand Holiday Seekers Leaving Town. London, Aug. 9 Bulletin 4:36 a. m. Salutes from the tower of London and Hyde Park are just booming at sunrise of coronation day. London, Aug. 8. The eve of the coro nation of King Edward VII was mark ed In London by large crowds which wandered all the evening somewhat aimlessly through the semi-illuminated streets. Down Whitehall, where the Canadian arch was the center of at traction, around Westminster Abbey and along the Strand the sidewalks were blocked with the expectant popu lace. The people were deterred from any signs of rowdyism by the acute re collections of the recent postponement of the coronation, and those who had seen the unrestrained exhibition which occurred upon the slightest pretext dur ing war times could not fail to notice the different temperament shown to night. TTIth a few exceptions it might well have been said of the metropolis that it was living up to the national reputation of taking its pleasure some what sadly. A number of important changes in the coronation programme were an nounced today. The recognition, in which the king is presented to the peo ple by the archbishop of Canterbury as the "undoubted King of the Realm," will be preformed but once instead of four times as given in .the official pro gramme. The Litany, which was to have followed the recognition, will not be said, the sermon will be omitted and the "te deum" which wa3 placed in the order of the service after the pre senting of the Bible will not be given at that time, but will be sung during the recess, at the close of the coronation of fice, when the king visits Saint Ed ward's chapel. Owing to the age of die Very Rev. George Granville Bradley the dean of Westminister, who is eighty-one years, the king has relieved him of the duty of placing the regalia upon the altar, and this service willje performed by Canon Duckworth but the dean will present the crown to the archbishop for the act of coronation and will present the com munion cup to the king. With the coronation at hand, London maintains its every day aspect. It is true that the short route of the pro cession is decorated at some points more brilliantly than before but the route is a mere speck in the great area of the city and even on the streets to be tra versed by the procession there are few sight seers. The main throroughfares. miles of which were gay with flags and bunting in June, are now stripped ex cept for the illumination fixtures which were allowed to remain in place. Cheapside, Fleet street and The Strand all told, contain scarcely six dec orated buildings. Today the crowds were even smaller than on the average week day, owing largely to the misera ble weather which is now denominated "King's weather" just as sunshine was always connected with the name of Queen Victoria. The weather outlook for tomorrow is "uncertain and the weather bureau is trying hard to find an excuse for a hopeful forecast. Westminster is the center of what lit tle activity London displays. The chief stands in the vicinity of St. Margarets have been re-decorated and Piccadilly refurbished with crimson Venetian masts, supporting tropics and flags Joined by streamers of gay bunting. The same general scheme prevails in Pall Mall. Many club stands have dis appeared. The private stands, recover ed In crimson, are doing a fair business, prices for seats running from $10 to $50 with the cheaper classes sold out. One of the most striking schemes of decoration Is on the big building of the automobile club in Piccadiliy, the front of which is studded with 200 big acety lene motor lamps, promising a brilliant display at night. A number of houses at Hyde park corner and its vicinity are handsomely decorated with artificial flowers. The incandescent illumination promises the best effects of all the decorations. A remarkable feature to American eyes is the general use of gas in preference to electricity. The Bank of England, Mansion House and many private buildings are covered with an unsightly maze of pipes with hundreds of small burners, 'globes and crystal de vices containing the crown and the royal cipher. Westminster Abbey today received the precious regalia wliich was taken under a strong guard from the tower and also a wealth of gold and silver plate from Buckingham Palace, all of which will be guarded tonight by a strong detachment of life guards ai l yeoman guards. Despite the announced departure oi all the special embassies the govern ment has been somewhat embarrassed to find a few of these guests still on hand. While Whitelaw Reid, the special American ambassador announc ed the formal dissolution of his em bassy General Wilson, E. L. Baylies and J. Pierpont Morgan, Jr., are now in London and the authorities, who were doubtful as to whether they should re cognize their presence finally settled the matter by sending all of them tickets to the abbey, but emphasizing the fact that the courtesy was extended in a strictly personal capacity. Ras Makon nen, the envoy of Emperor Menebk of Abyssinia, also returned in-barbaric splendor ready to participate and the government good naturedly took him under its wing, giving him a good seat in the abbey. A curious feature of. the coronation preparations is the immense rush of holidav seekers out of town. All rail wavs advertising special excursions to thf country report a slight increase in the incoming traffic. The restaurants and hotels are not risking a repetition of the enormous losses in june and insur ance rates rule even higher now than on June 26th. brokers asking four per cent, against three in June. Lloyds re ports few takers at that price. A YOIXG LAflVS LIFE AVED At Panama, Colombia, by Chamber lain's Col ie. Cholera, and Diarrhoea Remedy.' Dr Chas. H. Utter, a prominent phy sician, of Panama, Colombia, in a re cent letter states: "Last March I had n.n a vnnnfr indv sixteen years of age, who had a very bad attack of dysentery. Everything I prescribed for" her proved ineffectual and she was growing worse every hour. Her parents were sure she would die. She had be come so weak that she could not turn ov-r in bed. What to do at this criti cal moment was a study for me, but l thought of Chamberlain's Colic, Chol era and Diarrhoea Remedy and as a last resort prescribed it. The most wonderful result was effected. Within eight hours she was feelins much bet ter; Inside of three days she was upon her feet and at the end of one week was entirely.; well."' For sale by HR.

C., In 'October 1857 in the forty-fifth year of his age, and In"-September. 1859, his widow, the mother of Judge Bynum, was married to Richard M. Pearson, chief justice of the supreme court of Xorth Carolina. Judge Bynum received his education at the celebrated school of Dr. Alexan der Wilson, at Hawfield, Alamance county, X. C., and was educated for the legal profession at the school of Chief Justice Pearson. He was" a member of the legislature in 1872, and served in the confederate army. He was appointed judge of the supe rior court of Xorth Carolina and served as such for about ten years, and at the expiration of his term, the 31st of De cember, 1S94, he moved to Greensboro, where he has since engaged in the practice of law in partnership with his cousin, William P. Bynum. Jr. It is learned that Judge Bynum left a comfortable estate estimated at $20,000 and that he had $5,000 insurance on his life. He also left a will but its con tents are not yet known. His nearest lineal relative living is Judge W. P. Bynum, an uncle who lives in Charlotte. He was the only living child of his parents, two other children dying in in fancy. Gdi.nsnorto ews items.

SMALL FAMILY RESCUED FROM j VIOLENCE OF NEIGHBORS PEOPLE IN RESTLESS STATE A Platoon Leave Shenandoab for Turker Run Hill to Protect the Family, of a on-l nion Worker. Rock had Been Thrown ThronKh Wlndon-a and the Woman wa Shot j At She Is Taken to Pottaville Hoi- ! pital Soldier are Hooted and i j Jeered Little Interest in Camp 1 Yewterdaj-. j Shenandoah, Pa., August 8. A pla toon of the governor's troop of cavalry went to Turkey Run Hill today on an errand of mercy and rescued a small family from violence of the neighbors. There had been petty acts of violence reported from that territory nearly every day for a week. Today Brigadier General Gobin received a pathetic let ter from the wife of a non-union work man who is employed in the Giberton colliery of the Philadelphia and Read ing Coal and Iron Company in which she tells of the treatment accorded her by strikers in that vicinity. Among other things she said rocks had been thrown through the windows at night, one of them nearly striking her child; the house was damaged and while she was outdoors one night a shot was fired1 at her. She also said crowds gathered around the house, hooted and jeered at her and the child and hung crepe on the loor. Her husband, she concluded, was compelled to stay in the mines in order to earn money to keep them, from starving and as he could not leave his works she asked the commanding offi cer of the troops here to protect them. Turkey Run Hill has no police protec tion and General Gobin decided to help the women. He learned that she was not in the best of health and it was de cided that she had better be taken from the place to the Pot tsville hospital. To carry this out the general ordered a platoon of cavalry to make a demon stration in that section and while there to escort the woman and child to the railroad station. This was done. The troops rode all over the territory and found that the population which is made up of many foreigners was not in the best frame of mind. The sol diers were hooted and jeered and called uncomplimentary names. Only one stone was thrown at the horsemen and this was done by some One in a crowd on a high ridge out of reach of the soldiers. The cavalry men stopped horses and the crowd scattered in stantly. The two Lithuanians who were yes terday held responsible for the death of Joseph Beddall in the riots of last week were today committed without bail to the county jail at Pottsville oh the charge of murder. Another Lithu anian charged with rioting was releas ed on $2,000 bail. It is understood that a large number of other arrests will be made and more charges of murder will be brought. There was little of interest in the camp of the troops today. The region remains quiet.
