cable line, became suddenly insane, and
while in that condition ran his train,
loaded with passengers from twenty
second to Madison streets, distance
of over two miles, without accident.
When the train was ready to make its

and realizing his condition, and fear
ing a return of the mania, called po-
liceman and asked to be cared for.
When taken to the Police Station
Jessen was raving again, but became
quiet after time. He has no recollec-
ton of bringing his car from Twenty

business thoroughfares, and his re-

Several days ago Jessen was struck
on the head by lever at the car barns
in an accident and severely injured.
This is supposed to be the cause OF his

Stewart a. Bowman of Lorraine, the
latter the Presidents niece, who start
cd with the party from Washington,
left the traina at Pittsburg to take
another road.
The President and party went direct
to the Barber home, which is the old
Saxton 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 around the house.
Both sisters and the President viewed
the remains, which looked natural, none
of the marks of the tragedy being ex-
posed on the face or features. Except
when the President, accompanied by
Mr. Barber took short walk, the party
remained at the Barber house all day.

The train bearing the Cabinet and
other officials from Washington to the
Omaha Exposition will arrive in Can

O'Clock the private car Of the President
will be attached thereto, and he will
join the party.
Mrs Mckinley, it is thought tonight,
will not undertake the trip to the
Omaha Exposition, but will be with
the President in Chicago. She will re-
main in Canton for several days, and
more than likely go to Chicago with
Mrs. Lafayette McWiniams and Mrs.
w. A. Goodman, her cousins, who are
expected to be here for the funeral
services.
The day brought no new develop
ments in the tragedy. Mrs. George re-
mains in Jail, and has seen no one but
