ESCAPED THE GUARD.
But In Doing So Two Soldiers Were
Killed at Fort Slocum.

New York, Oct 9.-Thomas Green
valid, a private in company 1, of the
Seventh artillery was shot and instant
~ killed last night while trying TO
escape from Fort Slocum, near New
Rochelle. Private John Coates, OF
the same battery escaped the bullets
fired after him but was arrested before
he got away. Greenwald and Coates
had been in the guard house for two
weeks past and escaped from there,
and, having secured civilians clothing,
attempted to make good their escape
from the fort to avoid the court martial
that was pending. They were chal-
lenged by the sentry, and in attempting
to get away were fired upon. Sergeant
Heck, of the Twenty-second, with two
privates of the guard, came running
UP a. this moment and arrested the
fUgitives Before this was accom-
plished, however. Greenwald knocked
Sergeant Heck's bayonetS to the
ground and attempted to slash him
with a razor, but could rot get near
enough to do him any harm.
The shot fired by the sentry aroused
the whole post. Colonel Sinclair, of
the artillery, one Of the first to reach
the scene Of the trouble, ordered the
men taken to the guard house in
double irons. The two prisoners, In
obedience to orders, stepped forward
and the guard fell behind. After taking
a few STEPS, both prisoners bolted.
Colonel Sinclair gave the order to fire
and three orivates fired. Greenwald
fell dead in his tracks without a cry.
A bullet had gone through his head.
Coates threw himself beside a stone
wall with a loud cry. but was unhurt.
He was taken to the guard house.

Washington, Oct. 9.-The Washington
Post viii present tomorrow, in a series
of dispatches from correspondents in
every state of the Union except Maine,
Vermont and Oregon, where congress
sionaI elections have already been held,
a view Of the political situation, with
special reference to the complexion of
the next house of representatives.
In summarizing its dispatches, the
Post says: While Democratic gains are
outlined in many states the figures
given by the correspondents of the Post
DO not yet make it positive that the
Republicans will losI~ control of the
house. There is at present in the house
of representatives a Republican ma
jority OF So over all parties combined
and this majority will be difficult to
completely overcome There is no
doubt that it will be reduced to a very
small number, but the present indica-
tons do not point to its entire diSap-
pearance. The estimates made by the
Posts correspondents show that 166
districts in the United States will GER
tainly be Republican in the approach
ing election, unless the unexpected
happens, and Is additional districts
will give the Republicans a majority
in the house. According to the Posts
advices, there are no less than AZ doubt
tul districts, the large number, in
great measure, due to the caution of
the Posts correspondents in declining
to place in the certain column any dis
trict which contains an element of
doubt
Out of this AZ, however, there are at
least 20 districts in which the chances
are said to favor the Republicans. For
instance, there are districts in Massa-
chusetts. Maryland, Delaware, New
York, West Virginia, Ohio, Michigan
and Wyoming which are classed as
doubtful, but which the Republicans
will probably carry. With 166 districts
assigned with certainty to the Republic
cans as against 12S assigned to the
Democrats, according to the Posts
figures, the party in power has an easier
path to travel to the desired goal. The
POpulists are given Is seats and the
silver Republicans 4.
All the correspondents of the Post
agree in their statements as to the
apathy shown everywhere in the COM
ing elections. and that this lack of in
tereSt is the one great obstacle to Re
publican success. All efforts are now
being made to get out the vote and the
campaign is undoubtedly becoming en-
livened. The Democrats are encour-
aged by their fighting chance. and the
Republicans. approaching the danger
that threatens, are vigorously laboring
to impress upon their voters the neces-
sity of casting every ballot at the polls.

Canton, O., Oct. 9-The home coming
of President and Mrs. Mckinley today
for the funeral of Mr.. George D. Sax
ton, was attended with a most touching
and pathetic scene at the railway sta
ton. Many people were at the depot
when the train arrived, and extended
the party a silent but sympathetic wei
come. The party arrived at 1925
O'Clock. Mr.. M. c. Barber, the presi-
dents brother-in-law, was at the sta
ton with several friends of the fam
lily and DR.. Fraunfelter, who was
called to take charge of Private John
Barber, the sick soldier.
President and Mrs. Mckinley were
first out of the car, and were aSsited
by Mr.. George 8. Frease to the car
riage in waiting. Mrs. Barber. Mrs.
cKinIey's sister, followed, and was
Joined by her husband. john Barber
was carried from the train by his
brother George and by Mr.. George c.
Clark Miss Melen Mckinley and MIR.
and Mrs Stewart A. Borman of Lo-
raine, the latter the presidents niece,
who started with the party from Wash
ington, left the train at Pittsburg to
take another road.
The presidents party went direct to
ton homestead, and was the Canton
home of the McKinleys during his life
in congress. Mrs. Mckinley showed
evidences of the sufferings from the
shock and of fatigue from the journey,
but bore up remarkably well, and was
able to be about the house.
Both sisters and the president viewed
the remains, which look natural none
of the marks of the tragedy being ex-
f.1 foot
when the president, accompanied by
Mr. Barber, took a short walk, the
party remained at the Barber house all
day. Many flowers are being received
from sympathetic friends of the pres
ident and the family, Washington
friends having placed many on the
train before it started.
The funeral arrangements were con-
Guided after the arrival of the party
They are to be held from the Barber
home at 2 o'clock Monday afternoon,
and will be private Rev. o. B. Milli-
gan, pastor of the First Presbyterian
church, will officiate. Interment will
be in Westlawn cemetery, in the Sax
ton family lot.
The train bearing the cabinet and
other officials from Washington to the
Omaha exposition will arrive in Canton
Monday evening. and about o'clock
the private car OF the president VIII
be attached thereto and he will join
the party. Mrs. Mckinley. it is not
thought tonight, will undertake the
trip to Omaha, but will be with the
president in Chicago. She will remain
in Canton for several days, and more
than likely go to Chicago with Mrs. La
fayette, Mr.. Williams and Mrs. w. A.
Goodman, her cousins who are ex-
pected to be here for the funeral serv-
ices.
Today brought no new developments
in the tragedy. Mrs. George remains in
Jail and has seen no one but Mayor
Rice during the day. He was with her
for five minutes. She is to be ar
raigned at 10 o'clock Monday morning.
The coroner will resume the taking of
testimony Wednesday.

AN OMNIBUS SITUATION.
Many Bucks Have Left the Agency
to Join the Hostiles.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Oct. 9:-A special
to the Tribune from its staff correspon-
dent at Walker says: The situation to-
night is more ominous than ever. AT
the agency tonight council was held
between the Indians, General Bacon,
Colonel Harbach, Indian Agent Suth-
erland and Marshal O'Connor. The con-
ference was not in any way like those
previously held, except in the fact that
not one of the leading men of the diff
ferent bands was present.
There We're, however. representatives
present from Bear Island, Cass Lake.
Otter Tail Point and Pine Point, but
none of these has any influence with
the tribesmen. The only conclusion to
be drawn is that the leaders Of the diff
ferent bands sent men there merely as
stOol-pigeons, and that others of their
number are now preparing for the war
path.
A most significant fact is this: Sat
urday 30 canoe loads of Bear Island In
lians and their families. processing to
be peaceful, arrived at the agency To-
day every one of the bucks in the party
left, but where they have gone is only
TO be surmised. There is little doubt,
however, that they have left for Bear
Island to join those who are already
prepared TO uSnI. 1nere must De ny
this time several hundred armed men
on the island. and from what can be
learned today, many more are on the
road. Two or three of the Bear Island
men who are still at the agency have
been questioned in regard to last We'd
nesday's battle, but they positively
stated that they knew nothing what
ever in regard to the dead and wounded
among the Indians, and had seen none
of those who were in the fight.
General Bacon announced that the
last council would be held. Monday and
the Indians dispersed.

A PLEASANT PASTIME.
Kite Parties Just the Thing For an
Evenings Sport.

New York Herald: Did you think, re-
Numbering your boyhood or your girl
hood. and recalling what you have re-
Gently read in magazines, that kite fly
ing was simply a youthful amusement
on the one hand, and a new science on
the other? If you did you are very far
wrong. Kite flying has not yet risen
to the dignity of a great national di-
version, it is true, nor is it likely to,
but the latest phase of it is that So
ciety has taken it up as a pleasing pas
time.
These parties are generally given at
country houses particularly well sit
Uated for this sport, from being either
upon or close to a hill that somewhat
commands the country, or at houses in
the center of broad, level plain, or at
houses on the seashore. for ii is essen
tial that all the circumstances and sur
roundings be favorable TO kite flying,
especially since the kite flyers of both
sexes are very new at this game.
A fine breezy night is chosen. and
the party marching forth separate into
couples There are half as many box
kites as there are men and girls, and
at the start a kite is assigned to each
couple The rules and regulations are
that two men or two girls shall never
be working at any kite, and this is
strictly adhered to.
AT the signal the kites are started
Some, by force of luck or by skill in
handling, catch the breeze at once, and
dash along in the air, pulling on the
kite string vigorously. As these sue
cessful kites swing high above. with
many swirl and dip, they look strik-
ingly picturesque ESPECIALLY if the
night be very clear and well mooniiD,
the candle light cleaning through their
sides in faint rays.
Once u9 aloft with these kites the
great problem is to keep the candles
alight A third or half have their
lights suddenly eXtinguished, and the
beauty and StrangenesS of these great
floating glow worms of the air is par
TALLY, at least. lost. 1t is an hour Of
delightful uncertainty. The turn OF
fortune with a perfectly managed kite
may see its light go out; a badly con-
trolled kite may keep it's light until it
is finally pulled to the ground; but, on
the other hand, misadivesd jerk may
end that kites career for the night, and
leave it hanging, black mass, in mid
air.

GRIPMAN WAS INSANE.
Lunatic Runs a Cable Car Through
Chicago Thoroughfares.

Chicago, Oct. 10.-John B. lessen, a
gripman on the South State street cable
line, became suddenly insane, and while
in that condition ran his train, loaded
with passengers, from Twenty second
street to Madison street, a distance of
over two miles, without accident. When
the train was ready to make its re-
turn trip Jessen's reason returned, and
realizing his condition, and fearing a
return OF the mania, perhaps with dis
astrous results, he called a policeman
and asked to be cared for. When
taken to the police station, lessen was
raving again, but became quiet after
time. He had no recollection of
bringing his car from Tweilty-second
street up through the crowded business
thoroughfares, and his responses to the
conductors signals were entirely me-
chanical. Several days ago lessen was
struck on the head by the accidental
releasing of a lever at the car barns
and severely injured. This is supposed
to be the cause of his insanity.
