| Mr. McKinley's liabilities we've about
800, 900, a sum nearly five times as
large as he had saved duiing the
forty nine years of his life, Mrs. Nc
Kinley had property which vas worth
probable $S5,000 if sold under the
hammer. She at once turned this
over to her husbands trustees. The
result, however, was not quite so bad,
for the trustees, when they received
the trust, decided, without consulting
the governor, to raise the money
necessary to meet his obligations.
This was fully done by private sab
scriptions from gensrl Us people, and
in February 1894, year after the
assignment, the property which had
been made over to the trustees by
Mr.. and Mrs Mckinley was restored
&c them again in full.
| Personally, Mr. Mckinley is C
charming man to meet. His presence
is prepossessing, though in conversa-
tioo ae raroly develops brilliancy or
ready wit. He is not especially
quick in repartee. Dignity and re
pose, rather than force and action,
appear as his stro.g characteristics
to the Iuao who meets him casually.

On Friday, January 27, 1871, this
article appeared in the Canton Week

The audience room of the new
stcne Presbyterian Church being
nearly finished, the lady members re.
solved, a couple of weeks since, TO
have i. ready in time for the wedding
of Major Mckinley and Miss Ida
Saxtop, on the 25th instant.
Promptly at the hour-yea, long
before the 7.40 p N, named upon
the invitations, theihouse was filed by
the expectant multitude. The scene
at the church YVES novel and inter
esting. Here were thousand peo-
ple-all the building will hold-all
on tip-toe of expectation to see. Pro-
fessor Fister came in and entertained
the first audience that ever filed the
church by music upon the organ.
Some minutes after he commenced
to play there was a sensation. Every
body's face was turned towards The
door. Many stiff -necked old and
young sinners nearly broke their
necks at it. At length they came:
First, up the left aisle, Mr. James A
Ssxton, leading the bride, his deuga-
ter, they were followed by Miss Mary
l. Saxton, bridesmaid, escorted by
Mr.. Abner McKinley-sister and
brother of the bride aud bridegroom.

ing Miss. Amelia Boclius, also one
Of the bridesmaids, Messers. r. D.
Ruin, NJ. G. Huntingdon, J. M.
Fsber and N. Dorber acted as ushers.
As to The the dresses worn By the
ladies, we shall be compelled, owing
to our meaSrs training in Jenkins
technicali.ies to be entirely silent,
except to say that they were faultless
in taste and exceedingly rich and
beautiful.
Arrived at the area in front of the
pulpit, the parties disposed OF them
selves gracefully, and with perfect
facility, the bride and bridegroom in
in the centre of half circle, the
former supported by ths maids, and
the latter by his friends, the young
gentlemen named The Rev. e.
Buckingham and Rev. DIR. Endsley
married the. couple, using the plain
and yet impressive ceremony usually
employed by ministers of the Presby
terian and Methodists Churches. At
the conclusion of the ceremony the
rowd waited respectfully until the
newly made husband and wife and
their companions had passed out.
