':W I s "j , 3UFFAW), Sept. .President McKin ky was shol and 'seriously wounded by a would-be assassin while holding a re ception in the Temple of Music at the Pan-American Exposition a few min utes after 4 o'clock; to-day. One shot took effect in the right breast, the other in the' abdomenH The. first ts not of a serious nature and the bullet has been extracted. The latter pierced the ab dominal walL ; The man had a handkerchief wrapped around his hand in which a pistol was concealed, (,f j f The first ball entered the President's chest and glanced. The second ball en tered the abdomen, and turned down ward. The first has been extracted. The President was instantly conveyed to the hospital, where he is now resting and is conscious. j He called his secretary to his bedside, and is now dictating; Instructions, and his last wishes in case the wound should prove fatal. - An immense throng ran after the as sassin, who would have been lynched but for the interference of police guards. It was a few momenta after 4 p. m., while President McKinley was holding a public reception in the great Temple of Music on the Pan-American erounda. that the cowardly attack was made, with what success time alone can tell. Standing in the midst of crowds- numbering thousands, , sur rounded by every evidence of goodwill, pressed by a motley throng of people, showered by expressions of love and loyalty, besieged by multitudes all eager to clasp his hand, amid these sur roundings and with the ever-recurring plaudits of an admirating army of sight seers, ringing in his ears, the blow of the assassin fell and in an instant pleasure gave way to pain, admiration to agony, folly turned to fury and pan demonium followed. - Buffalo, Sept. G.--S. B. Ireland, of the Secrect Service, tone of the three detectives with the President, was near him when the would-beaesassin fired the first shot. ' Ireland grabbed the man on one side, J. F. Parker a color ed waiter, seized him on the other and broke his nose and knocked two of his teeth out in his violence. The assassin is Fred,Nieman. He is a single man; a German Pole; can read and write and lives at 1,025 Broadway, Buffalo, N. Y. He is a blacksmith by trade. When raked whv he did it. he answered. "I am. an anarchist and only did my duty."-'v ':,':,t:y -Jc ; .The first bullet did no harm.the sec ond bullet' struck below the apex of the heart, perforated the. stomach and is embedded in the muscles of the back. The doctors 'are now closing up the wound." It haahot perforated the in testines. The only danger is in peri tonitis. The doctors in attendance are; Mann, Farmenter, Myntor. Vanperima and Stockton, and Park, one of the finest surgeons in the country, has Just arrived and has full charge. ; After the . President was shot he walked to a chair an( "Don't ex aggerate toSmy wife." Then he-held his hand to his breast and fell back. . nowa Hum SarDaaa michlaaaia. The Salisbury Sun quotes Capfc J. j.

SAM mill ATTACKS SATAN j AT ATLANTIC '1TY. . Tb Nott4 Oaorala Evangelist vad ,Bx-Nrapapr mas la Prcarhlaa mm& tiaetarlna; ta (as North. i The appearance at Atlantic City last week of the Bev. "Sam" Small for the benefit of the North American Poor Children's Relief Fund was provocative of the greatest interest among the per manent and summer population,' and particularly among the many who vew. with admiration the revival work of this eminent evangelist. ' i When Mr. , Small , was ; introduced to those who had gathered to hear him at the Auditorium Pier he was received with the utmost enthusiasm. . , The sub ject of his address was "His Majesty the Devil Is He in Atlantic City?" ' Mr. Small began with a few lines of Men dont believe In the Devil now, As their fathers ued to do; They have forced the door of the broadest To let his Majesty through . There's not a sign of his cloven hoof; His tlery dartor bis bow, In earth or air or anywhere, . For the world has voted so. , . V ' He then proceeded with his address and, in brief, succinctly dealt with his subject as follows: ' ' ! "The origin of evil in humanity is the instigation of that evil, arch-malevolent spirit whom we know .by , the name of the 'Devil. The creation of that spirit was the work of God, who made him an angel of light and power, but he refused to keep or retain his first estate and rebelled against his Maker, as so many of his human kind do at the present day. He fell from heaven into a hell prepared, as we read in the Bible, 'for the devil and his angels.' His influence over men is spiritual, and mv theory of the psycholoric or hypnotic processes of Satanic control of the spirits of men is .what, may be called a startlingly suggestive expose of the methods adopted by this vjle enemy of the human race., ' W "Men say they do not propose to let the devil so control them; yt,.,thej would not know or recognize him were he to come among them ' and meet them in the broad light of day, Our popular notion of the satanic angel is that of the billboards and hornbooks a long, lean, fiery fellow, with the usual horns, hoofs and spiral twisting caudal annendatre. ' 't ' i 'v-' - "But satan has better wit than to' come among us in Atlantic City in that shape. He knows he would stampede the entire community, for fear would Dredominate. and he would drive US' alt; men, women . and children, into the briny ocean. He does not come among , 'i. . men to start a SKeeaauaie, tu get iu with them and mould them to his own ends and ideas and service. He can take the form of an angel. Why not of a twentieth century gentleman, a dude of, society, a promoter of great bonanza schemes, with millions at his back; a politician, with-a catholiconfor the country's ills 7" ' t Here came cries from the rear of the hall: "How about Morgan and Ash bridge?"1 : Paying no attention to the interrup tion, Mr. Small went on: People say they would not let the devil control them and make them do the things they do not want to do. He knows this, and hence he never works in this manner. He just finds out what it is they would most like to do rather than to do right, and then skil fully keeps them at that and very busy. He does not want a pretty . woman to swear. , He is satisfied if he can get her to annoy her husband and make him swear. Then he gets both of them with a minimum of trouble. j We complain of our besetting sin. That is one of the devil's cleverest jokes upon a human fool. Don't you know that a man besets a horse ? It is ' not, the horse that besets- the man. ' So we beset our sin. The sin does not beset us. I never yet saw a bottle of whisky or a keg of beer beset a man. The man besets them both until they are dry and he is wet through. ; i "It is we who must quit, our mean ness if we would live sobervgodly lives, to bless our age and honor God. "The devil in politics bosses the par ties in dealing with the liquor traffic I have here at my elbow : an amazing ar ray of government statistics to prove to the most skeptical that the liquor ques tion is becoming to the north as .dis tinct as sectional . sin and crime as slavery once was in the south.? j, f: s , "In the south the people; wonder what kind of: india rubber mud God used to inake the "men who drink; so they could hold all thewhiskjr and beer that they consumd, . V; &.W 'VV "I take this opportunity to warn the north that one good turn Reserves an other, and that if it does not clean it self of this liquor curse we southern fel lows will have to come up and lick it out of you as you . licked the Blavery idea out of us in '63. , ; "As to the means to combat Satan, there is but one power possible to men; and that comes with the gift of the Om niscient and Omnipotent spirit of God. He alone can penetrate all of Satan's disguises and foil ' his devices. : We must put en the whole armor of God to stand against the wiles of our great est enemy." .. , v .- . An expert from Washington will this week be sent to eastern North Carolina to take part in the investigation of the fatal fever among horses. The State veterinarian is at work there. . j '. GENERAL NEWS. 1 It appears that the anxiety at the prospect of war between Columbia and Venezuela was premature. The trend is now toward peace. . , t ' Vice President Hickey, of the Amal gamated association, declares the Pitts burg strike is over. He scores Presi dent Shaffer and says the attitude of United States Steel Corporation toward organized labor has been misrepre sented. ., " ...;,,, , . , . ,. , , .' The Schley inquiry approaches the hour of trial. , Last week the list of witnesses was announced Admiral Sampson is one of them. Admiral Howison has disclaimed any remark or prejudice calculated to disqualify him as a member of the Board of In quiry. By wireless telegraphy the period in which a person crossing the Atlantio is cut off from communication, has been reduced by sixteen hours. Long after the ship left England messages kept coming; and when nearly three hun dred miles from New York she began to receive and reply to messages from Sandy Hook, L. I. ' The days of the great steel strike ap pear to be numbered. Some of the strikers and officers of the Amalgamated Association practically admit that the strike is a failure, and with one accord they and outside critics have fallen up on Shaffer, president of the Associa tion, who ordered the strike. They say that he is incapable of leadership ; that he precipitated the strike too soon, and that he has been outgener aled at every point. . At Nyack, 80 miles from Kaliaspel, Mont., last Saturday night 86 persons were killed in a terrible train wreck. A freight train going up a heavy grade broke apart and the parting portion went flying down with terrible speed istriking a passenger train just as it 'was moving out from the siding. As sistant General Superintendent P. T. Downs was in his private car with his son and his cook. His car was driven to splinters and all in it were instantly killed. The car just ahead contained 46 Scandinavian laborers. All but 13 were killed. The wreck took fire and most of the bodies were cremated. They Don't Need laearaaee Compa nies in Barke. MorgMiton'ftews , - In the case of Jeff Curtis against the Southern Railway, tried at this term of the court, the plaintiff got a verdict for $300. Capt. Bason, in his appeal to the court to set aside the verdict, con vulsed the court room - when he said: "Your honor, I don't see the need of any insurance company in Burke. In all such companies you have to pay so much a thousand according your age, and then there is a suicide clause in the policy and when you die the com pany won't pay until they investigate cause of death. Up here in Burke all you have to do is to load up on 40 cents worth of mean liquor, get on the track of the Southern Railway, get hurt and you have got your $2,000." Some one said.' "Bason. Curtis only got $300." "Oh, yes, replied Bason, "he only got a scratch and he's alive, out n ne a been dead he would have had $5,000, and his only investment was1 40 cents in mean liquor." ' ' - -( y-:"'' , " : . A Dying mtaera Seeret. 1 Jonathan Newman, an old and re spected citizen of Henderson county, died oh the 31st, at his home on Mud Creek. ' Ever since the war Newman, who was eccentric in some respects, was known to have had a considerable sum of money. He has several, times added a lot to this sum of late years by the sale of land. When he had but a few hours to live, Newman revealed places where he had money hoarded. Part of his story was verified to-day when more than $4,000 in greenbacks was found between the ceiling and the weatherboarding. He said a bucket of gold was buried in the garden, and to day all his relatives, of which he has a host, wielded picks and shovels with Klondyke assiduity., At last accounts, however, they found nothing more val uable than Irish potatoes. . j Her Heart Turned Upside Bows M ft-. LlKbtDJnK. ' Manuet, T., SpeetaL ' With her heart upside down, Mrs. Charles Conoverwife of a railroad man at Suffern, is apparently as well as ever. Mrs. Conover was sitting on a chair on her piazza during a severe thunder storm, when she was : shocked into un consciousness by a bolt. She remained unconscious seven hours. After making an examination the village doctor said he found that the shock had . turned Mrs. Conover's heart upside down. , Charlotte Has 1,1 1 S . More Woaaea :j 'I .jff,; Ttaaa Ma. 'WV g ; A census bulletin just' issued by" the census bureau shows that this state is what may be termed women's section, There are, according to the last census, 1,115 more females in Charlotte-than men, the figures being 9,598 and 8,483. In North Carolina there are 955,133 females and 938,667 males. The white population of the state con stitutes 66.7 per cent, of the whole. ; The enrollment at the Salisbury Graded Schools at the opening last Monday was 491. ; , DEFENDS FLAGLER MAHBIAGK. Friend of Dr. P. II. Hoge Beeeate Certain Criticisms. Louisville, Ky., Sept. 2. The Rev. Dr. Peyton H. Hoge has returned to Louisville after performing the mar riage ceremony which made Miss Mary Lily Kenan, of Kenansville, N. C, the wife of Henry M. Flagler. It was this action of Dr. Hoge which was attacked from the pulpit of the Fourth Avenue Methodist Church on last' Sunday night and which has since kept the paragraphers busy with pithy lectures on the power of wealth. In view of these facta Dr. Hoge was asked for a statement of the reason which led him to perform the ceremony. "I have not seen any of the attacks made upon me," was his reply, "and therefore I can say nothing at present." A close friend speaking for Dr. Hoge, then made the statement that Dr. Hoge had examined carefully into ev ery detail before consenting to officiate. As a result of his investigation he had satisfied himself that there was a moral ground stronger even than the legal which gave Mr. Flagler the right to a divorce, He said that the story that the Florida Legislature was bought had been proved untrue to the beet of Dr. Hoge s belief, as was also the story telling of the former Mrs. Flagler's dressing herself each afternoon and waiting for her husband's coming. "Why, she's waiting just as much for coming of the Czar of Russia as for Flagler," said Dr. Hoge's champion. "Miss Kenan was Dr. Hoge's parish ioner when he was rector of the church in Wilmington, N. C, and her father was an elder. The ties of friendship are very close between them. Dr. Hoge met llagler some years ago and I know that he considers him a man of honor. Dr. Hoge looked into every phase of the case before he took action, and any attack made on him or his motives is unjust, because the one that makes it cannot understand all the inside facts." . Wenelll Taken Hack. Salisbury Sun. Paul Wensill, who has been mas querading under the name of Capps and who was arrested at Albemarle last week as an escaped convict, broke down yesterday afternoon and admitted to his identity. Wensill has all the while stoutly maintained that he was not the man wanted and has put up a very vigor ous bluff. Yesterday afternoon when the sheriff of Stanly started to Salisbujy with him he caved in. Wensill was brought to Salisbury last night and remained in jail here over the night. He was taken to the pen itentiary this morning. Wensill sta ted to a Sun reporter that he had served about 3 years of his five years' term when he escaped. He was a trusty at the Raleigh prison and managed to escape while enjoying the freedom given trusties. He says that he has spent most of his time in South Carolina since escaping but that he had been in this vicinity for several months. Wensill is now about 37 years old. - Cotton Breaks Skarplf. New York, Sept. 8. There was a sharp break in prices at the New York cotton exchange today, the decline amounting to 28 to 33 points, owing to a better monthly government report than many had expected. . It is stated that the condition is 71.4 per cent, a decline within the month of only 5.8 per cent, , whereas many had : looked for a loss of fully 10 per cent. The government data came down only to August 24, but nevertheless there was heavy selling for local, foreign, south ern and Wall street account. , A year ago the condition was 68.2 per cent, and the average for ten years is 74.9 percent. The weekly government re port was unfavorable, showing for one thing that the condition of cotton in Texas is critical, but it had no effect. Liverpool - declined sharply, falling equal to 25 to 83 American points. The receipts were big and special markets heavy. The close was easy at 7.61 and 7.62. December 7.66 and 7.67. An Improbable Story From Burke. Morganton Special to Charlotte Observer. A woman, giving her name as Lydie Masser, came to town to-day with a queer story. She says that 14 years ago a man named Lane, who lives on the top of the South Mountains, in Burke county, near the Rutherford line, came to her father's house and threatening her life induced her to go to his home, where she has lived in a condition of slavery rever since. She says she has been forced to do a man's work on Lane's farm, and that she was afraid to leave or make complaint, fear ing that she would be killed. Lane is preparing to leave the country, she says, and she came to town to bring suit against him for her . services and for the possession of some personal chattels. The truth of her story may be devel: oped on the trial. . Hon. Chauncy M.J. Depew has been invited to deliver the address at the opening of the Charleston exposition lsecemoer i. , .
