WORK OF AN ANARCHIST Tragic Kvent Occurred la Temple of Music on Pan-American Grounds, Where the President Was Holding a Reception Assailant Arrested and Hurried to Jail His Name Is Leon Czoljjosz. Buffalo, Sept. 7. President McKin ley was shot and seriously wounded by a would-be assassin while holding a re ception in the Temple of Music at the Pan-American, exposition yesterday af Tni.LlA.-ii M'KIXLEY. ternoon. One shot took effect in the right breast, the other in the abdomen. 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 thousaads, surrounded by every evidence of good will, pressed by a motley throng of people, showered with expressions of love and loyalty, be sieged by multitudes, all eager to clasp his hand, amid these surroundings and with the ever recurring plaudits of an admiring army of sightseers ringing in his ears, the blow of the assassin fell and in an inrtant pleasure gave way to pain, admiration to agony, folly turned to fury and pandemonium -followed. Diabolical Plan. ,, The crowds at the daily organ recital in the splendid Temple of Music wit nessed the dastardly attempt. Planned with the diabolical ingenuity and finesse of which anarchy or nihil ism 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 at tributed the result. The president was in a cheerful mood and was enjoying, to the fullest extent, the hearty evidences of goodwill, which every whero met his gaze. Upon his right stood John G. Mil burn of Buffalo, president of the Pan American, chatting with the president, and introducing to him any especial persons of note who approached. Upon the platform stood Secretary Cortelyou. It was shortly after 4 p. in. when one of the throng which snr rounded that party, a medium sized man of ordinary appearance and plainly dressed in black, approached as if to greet the president. Both Secretary Cortelyou and President Milburn no ticed that the man's hand was swathed in a bandage or handkerchief. He worked his way amid the stream of peo ple up the edge of the dais until he wad within a feet of the president. Mr. McKinley smiled, bowed-and ex tended his hand in that spirit of genial ity the American people so well know, when suddenly the sharp crack of a re volver rang out loud and clear above the hum of voices. There wns an instant of almost com plete silence. The president stood stock still, a look of hesitancy almost of be wilderment, on his face. Then he re traced a step, while a pallor began to come over his features.- The multitude, only partially aware that something se rious had happened, paused in surprise, while the necks were craned and all eyes turned as one toward to rostrum Where a great tragedy was being en acted. Then came a commotion. Would-lie Assassin Caught. With the leap of a tiger three men 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 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 pres ident. As one man the trio hurled themselves upon the president's assail ant and in a second he was thrown to the ground, his weapon was wrested from his grasp aud strong arms pin ioned him down. . He was hurried to police headquarters and locked up. It was not until this morning that the man was fully identi fied. He proved to be Leon F. Czolgosz, an anarchist, formerly of Cleveland, O. As soon as the crowd in the Temple of Music had been dispersed sufficiently the president was removed in the auto mobile ambulance and taken to the ex position hospital, where an examina tion was made. Tne best medical skill was summoned and within a brief poriod several of Buf falo's besi known practitioners were at the patient's side. The president retained the full pow ers of his facilities until placed on the operating table and was subjected to an anaesthetic. Upon the first examina tion it was found that one bullet had taken effect in the right breast just be low the nipple, causing a comparatively harmless wound. - The other took effect in the abdomen about 4 inches below the left nipple, 4 inohes to the left of the navaL and ! about on a level with it. The sufferer was subsequently re moved to the residence of President Milburn, where everything jmsfriMn U .being done fariiim. RAN INTO OPEN SWITCH. Three Men Killed lu Wreck on the Seaboard Air Line. Atlaxta, Sept. 7. Three men met instant death in a wreck on the Sea board Air Line last night at 8:45 o'clock. The accident occurred at Frisbee, a small station on the Belt line, near At lanta, a freight train plunging into a witch which had been opened either through carelessness or design. The killed are: W. A. Holbrooks, engineer. C. W. Hardridge, fireman. Henry Robinson, a negro brakeman. Six cars were wrecked and the engine in a pile of rains. The train was com ing into the city and was 7 miles out wnen the engine left the main line and ran into an open switch that had either been left open or bad been purposely opened by some person who wished to wreck the train. There was every reason to believe that the main line was clear and the en gineer, without slacking his speed, dashed into the open switch. The engine was hurled over an em bankment and six of the cars were piled up, a heap of wreckage. The engineer and his fireman were buried under the debris and were doubt less killed outright. The negro brake man was thrown from a car and was found on the side of the track dead and mangled. ine railroad officials say that the switch was left open by some outside person, as a passenger train had passed along the line in safety only an hour befora 1 The freight train was a local and left Winder for Atlanta with 13 cars. - Engineer Holbrooks lived at Howells station, on the Seaboard belt line, and he leaves a wife and two children. Fireman Hardridge lived at Howells and also leaves a wife and five children. The home of the negro brakeman, Henry Robinson, was at Abbeville. The bodies of Fireman Hardridge and Brakeman Robinson were brought to the city and turned over to Undertakers Barclay & Brandon. The body of Engineer Holbrooks was taken to Undertaker Patterson's by the request of the dead man's wife. The accident will be the subject of a full investigation by the officials of the Seaboard Air Line railroad and the blame will be located, if possible. Very Peculiar Cane. Waycross, Ga., Sept. 9. A strange story comes from Pierce county. It is reported that some weeks ago Nathan Dixon and one of his sons received a se vere shock by lightning. Mr. Dixon was badly stunned, and his son came very near being killed. Upon regain ing consciousness the old man discov ered his son lying on the ground in an unconscious condition, his mouth wide open and a chew of tobacco in it. In attempting to remove the tobacco from the boy's mouth, Mr. Dixon got his in dex finger between the teeth in some way, when the boy closed down on it, biting his finger to the bone. Blood poison set in and it became necessary for Mr. Dixon's finger to be amputated. Blessed Are the Terrellites. Dawson, Ga., Sept. 7.

GOOD NEWS FROM THE PRESIDENT'S BEDSIDE Physicians Give Encouraging Reports. NO BAD SYMPTOMS YET Stricken Chief Has Almost Passed the Critical Period, But His Condition Remains Favorable and Prospects Are Brisht for Recovery. Milburn House, Buffalo, Sept 9. President McKinley has gone through the early part of the crisis in his case without material sacrifice of strength or the appearance of dangerous symptoms. Aside from the pathological condi tions of the case, circumstances today were peculiarly favorable for the patient. It was an ideal September day, with bracing air, moderate temperature and a light breeze blowing over the entrance to the Milburn house. The sun shone brightly most of the time, with now and then the shadows of light, fleecy clouds. The physicians were quick to note these external conditions, tor they contributed greatly to the comfort of the patient and gave assurance against the depression of extreme heat or in clement weather. ar The morning consultation of the phy sicians brought out that the condition of the president was entirely satisfac tory aud they expressed renewed confi dence in his recovery. The doctors assembled fcbout 8 o'clock and it was 9:15 before any of them came away from the Milburn house. Pending their conference there was an anxious wait Several visitors arrived, including ex-Postmaster- General Bis sell and Charles P. Sanger. Mr. "Bis sell was one of the first to emerge from the house after the doctors had com pleted their consultation'and in a brief general way he summarized the situa tion by saying that the Conditions were favorable. A few moments later Dr. Roswell Park and Secretary Wilson came out together. Dr. Park answered the many inquiries with a cheerful and very positive assurance of confidence. The situation is entirely satisfac iory," said he, "and there are no symp toms to cause alarm." He was asked if earlier bulletins re ferring to the president's somewhat rest less night warranted any apprehensions. "Not in the least. It is entirely nat ural that the patient should have some periods of restlessness. But he is re ceiving no anesthetics. He is fully conscious at all times when he is awake, and his mind is clear." When asked if the president conversed with those about him, the doctor said the patient was quite able to talk aud did so as far as the physicians permitted, although they were reluctant to permit him to sap any of his energy in this way. Secretary Wilson was overjoyed at the word which the physicians brought from the sick room. He said: "The president will get well. I feel it and I am sure the doctors now feel it. Of course, the danger has not been passed, but the continued absence of unfavorable symptoms strengthens our hope. The period for peritonitis to ap pear is rapidly passing away and there is not a sign of inflammation. The promptness with which the operation was performed and the skill with which it was accomplished are telling their story. The tissues were sutured so quickly that they probably began to' heal immediately. The president's good health and the long life of careful liv ing behind him are in his favor, but above ail, his indomitable will and his courage are the factors counted upon to pull him through. "He has made up his mind to live, and live he will. The first rise in his temperature during the night was some what disturbing, but his febrile condi tion is better this morning, and our hopes continue in the ascendant. The fact that his slumber during the night was restless was not to be wondered at.. All the conditions under which he is living are abnormal. The water and liquid nourishment which he is receiv ing are being administered hypodermi cally, and this fact alone would account for his restlessness." Dr. Herman Mynter said to the As sociated Press: "Everything is satisfactory. Every hour that passes with no decidedly un favorable results is encouraging and in dicative of final recovery." Dr. Eugene Wasdin, who was on the consultation staff, said: "The restlessness of the patient dur ing the night is not serious, and it is to be expected when it is understood that he siept during the day." Abner McKinley, brother of the pres ident, arrivea at the house of Mr. Mil burn at 10:05 this morning. The good news from the sick room was imparted to the president's brothel and the latter's friends, and all joined in heartfelt expressions of relief. In tense anxiety had been felt over the out come of the morning conference and the result lifted a great load of apprehen sion from those nearest and dearest the president, giving them greater courage than had been felt at any time before. Democracy Will Not March. Chicago, Sept 9. The Cook county Democracy has voted to abandon ita trip to the Pan-American exposition, giving as a reason that it would be in delicate for a political club to march and enjoy itself in the streets of Buffalo at a time when the president of the United States was in distress nearby. The club also adopted resolutions ex pressing sincere regret and sorrow at the attempted assassination of Presi dent McKinley and hope "our esteemed president will be restored to full and perfect health. " Were Put In Guardhouse. Marion, Ind., Sept 9.

Had Planned to Iviil the President Several Days Ago. Buffalo, N. Y., Sept 7. Although Czolgosz refused to implicate any one else in the plot to kill Mr. McKin ley, the police are of the opinion that another man i9 a, party to it. The man is the one who walked directly in front of Czolgosz and shielded hTm from the sight of the secret service men. The police have a good description of him and his arrest may occur at any mo ment. There is no doubt according to the police that this man was an accomplice of Czolgosz. Two or three suspects were picked up in various parts of the city during the day, but they were re leased after undergoing an examina tion, each one proving an alibi. Czolgosz does not appear to be insane. Detective Sergeant John Geary, who stood a few feet from Czolgosz, when he fired , the shots, and who caught President McKinley when he fell, was asked whether in his opinion Czolgosz was insane. "He may be," said the detective, "but from all I saw of him, he is just an an archist. " Czolgosz is not above the average height.- His face is that of a typical German. He arose at an early hour this morning and ate a hearty break fast He appears to be very nervous and starts suddenly when any one speaks to him. He proves to be very elusive in answering questions, however. - The po lice worked over him until a late hour last night and they admitted that very little progress has been made in bring ing out facts from him regarding his past history. To a reporter District Attorney Pen ny gave the substance of Czolgosz's con fession as follows: "This man has admitted shootin the president. He says he intended to kill; that he had been planning to do it for the last three days since he came here and went into the Temple of HnHc with murder in his heart intending i shoot to kilL He fixed up his hand by tying a handkerchief around it and waited his turn to get near the president. When he got directly in front of the president he fired. He says he had no confeder ate, that he was entirely alone in tne planning and execution of this diaboli cal act. "He says he i3 a believer in the theo ries propounded by Emma Goldman, whom he heard lecture several times. He also intimates that ha; does not be lieve in our form of government and therefore that he deemed it his duty tc get rid of the president." This in substance is the confession of Leon Czolgosz, who is a German-Pole, and says his home is in the city of Cleveland, O. He is 28 years old, un married, and has seven brothers and two sisters living there. He worked for a time in the wireworks at Newark, O. He exhibits no sign of remorse and, aside from his nervousness, acts as though he had done what he considered a praiseworthy instead of a dastardly act SAYS HE ALONE DID IT. Czolgotz Still Maintains That He Had No Accomplice. Buffalo, Sept. 9. Czolgosz hag made no additional admissions to the police officials and nothing that they have learned from him has added to ward a solution of the criminal side of the case. He still insists that he alone conceived, planned and carried out the crime and that he alone must answer for it. He admits that he attended meetings at which Emma Goldman spoke ani where he and his fellow anarchists dis cussed their propaganda of murder, but steadfastly denies that any of them had a part in his plans. His talks with them were fairly general, he says, and he did not divulge to them any feature of his scheme to kill the president His state ment on that feature made on Saturday created the impression that he acknowl edged a general talk with his associates on this particular crime, but he now says there was no justification for that impression. He is to be subjected to another ex amination by Superintendent of Police Bull and District Attorney Penney, but the results are problematical. The stories that the prisoner is weary ing out physically and mentally under the strain of his crime, imprisonment and the ordeal of questioning, is denied by the police, who say there is no appre ciable change in his general condition. They admit that he was clever enough to avoid admissions of a damaging char acter on ground outside of his general confession. BIG DEMONSTRATION. Lexington People Sympathize With President and Condemn Anarchy. Lexixotox, Ky.fSept. 9.
