THE vICE-PREsIDENT STUNNED.
Announced the Awful News ana
started On a Special for Buffalo.

Burlington, VT. Sept. THE first
news Of the attempted assassination
OF President Mckinley reached Vice.
President Roosevelt at Isle Lamotte
at $3.50 O'Clock yesterday afternoon,
when the vice-president was informed
over the telephone that there was a
rumor that the president had been
| shot. II was confirmed by another
message n moment later. The vice
president seemed stunned by the
| news, put his hands TO his head and
then exclaimed: MY God"
Those around him were Immediate
~ Informed of the tragedy, and it was
decided to announce il to the com
pany of thousand people, who had
gathered to hear Col. Roosevelt speak
AZ the annual outing of the Vermont
Fish and Game league.
Senator Proctor made the an
nouncemcnt, and many persons in the
audience burst into tears. A later
bulletin was received stating that the
president was resting quietly. and
that the chances were favorable for
his recovery.
Good" exclaimed the vice-presi-
dent. and his face lighted up. He
showed his pleasure by eagerly an
nouncing the good news 10 the as

The vice-president then left imme-
diately on the yacht FL Frida. owned
by W. Seward Webb. and came to this
city as quickly as possible, having d.
rected that all messages should be
held for him here. The yacht was to

the yacht came into the harbor at

President Clement of the Rutland

THE sADDEsT TASK OF ALL.
Breaking the News To Mrs. Mckinley
-Bravely Received.

Immediately the president was
cared for atthe exposition grounds, Di-
rector-General w. /. Buchanan started
for the Milburn residence to forcstall
any information that might reach
there by telephone or otherwise. Very
luckily, he was first to arrive with the
information. The Niagara Falls trip
had tired Mrs. Mckinley, and on re-
turning to the Milburn residence she
took leave of her nieces, the Misses
Barber, and the presidents niece.
Miss Duncan. as well as their hostess.
Mrs. Milburn. and went to her room
TO rest.
Mr.. Buchanan broke the news as
gently as possible to the nieces and
consulted with them and Mrs. Mil
burn as TO the best course to pursue
in breaking the news to Mrs. McKin-
ley. 1t was finally decided that on her
awakening or shortly thereafter Mr..
buchanan should break the news to
her, If, in the meantime her phy stefan,
DR.. Rixey, had not arrived.
Mrs. Mckinley awokc from her
sleep about $3.50 o'clock. She was
feeling splendidly, she said, and at
once took up her crocheting, which.
as is well known, is one Of her favor
lite diversions.
Immediately on Mr.. Buchanan's ar
rival at the Milburn home he had tele-
phonic communication Herewith cut
off. for already there had been several
calls, and he decided on this as the
wisest course to pursue. lest Mrs. Nc
kinley, hearing the continued ring
ing of the telephone bell, might in
quire what il meant.
While the light Of day remained
Mrs. Mckinley continued with her
crocheting, keeping to her room.
When il became dusk and the presi-
dent had not arrived. she began to
feel anxious concerning aim.
II wonder why he does not come"
she asked one of her nicces.
There was no clock in Mrs. McKin-
ley's room, and when il was seven
o'clock she had no idea IL was so late.
and this Is when she began to feel
anxious concerning her husband. for
he was due 70 return to Mr.. Milburns
house about six o'clock.
At seven o'clock, DR.. Rixcy arrived
At the Milburn residence. He Asd

Then came a commotion- With the
leap of tigers three men threw them
selves forward, as with one impulse
and sprang toward the would-be as
sassin. Two of them were United
States secret service men who were
on the lookout and whose duty il was
to guard against just such calamity
as had here befallen the president
and the nation. The third was by
stander. negro, who had only an in
slant previously grasped in his dusky
palm the hand of the president. As
one man the trio hurled themselves
upon the presidents assaiiant. In a
twinkling he was borne to the ground,
his weapon was wrested from his
grasp and strong arms pinioned him
down.
Then the multitude which thronged
the edifice began TO came to n real
izing sense of the awfulness of the
scene of which they had been un-
willing witnesses.

babel of sounds. and later to pam
demonium of noises.
The crowds that moment before
had stood mute and motionless. as n
bewildered ignorance OF the cnormity
of the thing. now. with single i'm
pulse surged forward toward the
stage of the horrid drama. while a
hoarse cry wclled up from thousand
Threats and a thousand men charged
forward TO lay hands upon the 2erpe-
TRAITOR of the dastardIy crime.
For a moment the confusion was
terrible The crowd surged forward
regardless of consequences. Men
shouted and fought. women screamed
and children Grief. Some Of those
nearest the doors fled from the edificc
in fear of stampede. while hun
dreds of others from the outside
struggled blindly forward in the cf-
fort to penetrate the crowded build
ing and solve the mystery of excite
ment and panic which every moment
grew and swelled within The congest-
ed interior of the edificc.
Inside on the slightly raised dais
was enacted within those few feverish
moments, a tragedy so dramatic in
character, so thrilling in its intensity
that few who looked on will ever he
able to give a succinct account of
what really did transpire. Even those
who attended the president came out
of il with blanched faces, trembling
limbs and beating hearts, while their
brains throbbed with a tumult Of con
ficting emotions which could not b.
clarified into a lucid narrative Of the
events as they really TRANSFERRED
OF the multitude which witnessed or
bore part in the scene of turmoil
there was but one mind which seemed
to retain its equilibrium. one hand
which remained steady, one eye which
gazed with unf,inching calmness and
one voice which retained its even
tenor and faltered not at the most
critical juncture.
They were the mind and hand and
eye and the voice of President Nc
Kinley.

THE ASSASSIN CONFESSES.
An Anarchist and mn Admircr Of Em
ma Goldman. Whose Teachings
Prompted the Crime.

Buffalo, Sept. leon Czolgosz. the
accused and self-confcssed assassin.
has signed a confession covering six
pages of foolscap and which states
that he is an anarchist, and that he
became an enthusiastic member of
that body through the influence of
Emma Goldman, whose writings he
had read and whose lectures he had
listened TO. lie denies having any
confederate, and SAYS he decided on
the act three days ago, and bought the
revolver with which the crime WAS
committed in Buffalo. He has seven
brothers and sisters in Cleveland. and
the Cleveland directory has the names
Of about that number living on Hos
mcr street and Ackland avenue. which
adloin. Some of them are butchers
and others are employed in different
trades. He is now detained at police
headquarters pending the result of
the presidents injuries.
Czolgosz does not appear in the
least degree uneasy or pcnitent for
his action. He says he was induced
by his attention to Emma Goldman's
lectures and writings to decide that
the present form of government in
this country was all wrong and he
thought the best way 10 end it was
by killing the president. He shows no
sign of insanity, but is very reticcnt
about much of his career. While ac-
knowledging himself an anarchist. he
does not state to what branch OF the
organization he belongs.

Among the most responsible and
reliable men Of this city is Mr. G. W.
Dickinson, who haa filed charges
against two members of the police
force, for inhuman treatment on the
part Of the police on his son and two
nephews. The police deny the
charges in toto, and their words are
probably just as reliable as Mr.. Dick
mson's, but similar charges have
been made against the police by
other persons not so prominent as
Mr.. Dickinson, hence nothing ever
came Of the charges. 1t is unreason-
able to suppose that Mr.. Dickinson
would want to thus hold himself and
family up to public ridicule, and, it
must therefore stand to reason that,
there is something in the charges,
the denial of the police to the con-
trary Notwithstanding. 1t will re-
qulre an official investigation to set
tie the matter, and, if the police are
not guilty, they should be exonerated
Of the standing Of their
accusers, but if, on the other hand,
these young men were treated like
brutes instead Of disorderhes, then
those policemen should not only be
removed from the force, but should
be arraigned on criminal charges. 1t
too often happens that policemen
loose their tempers as well as their
heads, and abuse not only men, but
even women and children in their
hands, simply because they have the
power to do so; and it is repeated, if
a salutary lesson should be admins
tered to them by removing them
from office and subsequently prose-
cutting them on criminal charges.
Speaking about this affair reminds
the Pie-maker that Mr.. Dickinson
has given it out that he intends to
sue the theater for having the boys
elected from the house. 1t appears
that the young men bought gallery
tickets" and labored under the be-
lief that gallery tickets allowed them
to sit wherever they found a vacant
seat, but not SO in this house, though
it may be the custom Of other houses.

fellow sees it or not, and, if on the
other hand, he has not done his duty
then charges should be filed against
him for the purpose Of removing him
from office. There is always right
and a wrong way Of doing things,
and the Pie-maker believes that the
city council is taking the wrong
way in chastising Judge George, if il

poses to administer to him.

gallery guards" for the most part,
are lords Of all they survey, both as
to seats and righteousness in APP
plauding the plays, and it must have
come as surprise to these three
young men to learn from a gigantic
son Of Erin that they were occupy
ing reserved seats. Unless the Pie
maker is mistaken there is trouble
ahead for both the policemen and
the proprietor Of the theater in
which this trouble arose.

1t seems that three rows of seats are
reserved by this house for gallery
seat frequenters who have ladies with
them. The young men labored
under the belief that they had as
much right to the seats as any one
else, and they would have had in any
other theater but this, hence their
refusal to give up the seats even to
ladies. It is not generally known
that there are any reserved seats in
the gallery Of any theater, and the
