cidents must certainly result. The peo-
pie made wild rushes in every direction
to escape the threatened danger, and the
driver of the truck, handling his horses
very skillfully, all escaped without in
jury.
President Mckinley was half way be-
tween the sidewalk and the church when
the confusion attracted his attention.
and he stopped short with an expression
OF anxiety on his face until the truck
had passed and done no harm, when he
resumed his walk into the church.

were to take charge Of the crowd during
the funeral services OF the afternoon
went into the church to complete their
final arrangements. Long ribbons Of silk,
white upon one side, black on the re-

pews in the body Of the church, and fif-

walton of fifty pews for the family, pail

the church commenced to arrive. At 2:30

one of the most handsome pieces present
The honorary and active pall-bearers
came slowly up the north center aisle,
filing into the seats at the side. The
ushers, forming in column near the door,
