RAILWAY SAFES ROBBED
Money Stolen From Holmesburg, Ia.
cony and frankfort Office.

Philadelphia, Sept. 24.-Eight mask
ed men yesterday morning entered the
car barn of the Holmesburg, Tacony
and Frankfort railway, in the extreme
northwestern section of the city, and.
after binding and gagging two watch
men, proceeded to the office, where
they blew open two safes and stole
the days receipts, amounting to about
$1,000 George Nolan and Clarence
Depew, the watchmen, were the only
occupants of the building at the time.
After securing their booty the rob
bers went to the Tacony water works,
on the banks of the Delaware river,
where they stole a rowboat and es-
capped Nolan succeeded in loosening
his hands after a half-hour's work.
He released Depew. and they notified

FLOWERS WERE EVERYWHERE
Nearly Every Country On Both contl'
nents Sent Beautiful Tributes.

Canton, o., Sept 20.-Never before
on this continent has such floral dis
play been seen at any public occasion,
as that in Westlawn cemetery yester-
day afternoon. The vault was lined
with the rarest and costliest flowers,
multitude of floral pieces was spread
on the ground before the door of the
vault, and for one hundred feet to the
right and left of the doorway. and for
half as many feet to the rear a line
passing through the front wall it was
impossible to tread, so thickly did the
tributes lie. Nearly every country on
both hemispheres was represented by
ar offering. The number from the
United States is almost past counting
great wreath, one of the handsom-
est seen, came from the Italian govern
ment and the king of Italy. Upon a
great streamer of black satin which
swung from the mass Of deep green
leaves, was the following inscription:
Requiem eternam dona Ell domine;"

cUMMlNs ON RAILWAY TAXATION
Railroads Should &c Assessed In Com
parison With Other Properties.

Centerville, Iowa, Sept. 24.-The
Iowa campaign was formally opened
here last night by A. B. Cummins, Re-
publican candidate for governor. After
a severe arraignment of anarchy he
concluded by saying that in regard to
railway taxation he believed the pres
emit laws of the state needed reforma-
ton.
81 know of no other species of prop
erty," said Mr.. Cummins, so fit for
comparison in determining the as
sessed value of the railroads as the
real property of the state; that is to
say, the farms of the country and the
lots of the cities. The railroad COM
panies cannot complain II they are
compelled to pay taxes upon valu-
alton which puts them upon an equal
ity with the owners of lands and
lots"
Martinsburg herald. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1881-1920, 1901-09-28

beside the black streamer foated one OF
red. white and blue, the colors of the
United States, and another Of red, white
and green, the colors of Italy. To the
right Of the door In a frame formed Of
red and white roses was vase fully
six feet high made of white asters. This
was the offering Of the manufacturing
potters OF East Liverpool, o.
There was a small cradle covered en-
tirely with white and purple asters. On
its sides were worked in purple inn
mortelles IL, word Miles This was
said to be the cradle in which Presi-
dent Mckinley had been rocked during
his infancy in Niles, o., and special i'm
structions came with 1t, that it should
be guarded with great care.
From the republic of Cuba came an
enormous representation Of the flag OF
and lilies Of the valley came from the
republic of Hayti wreath OF white
roses and purple asters from the presi-
dent Of Uruguay. From the Knights
Templars OF Minnesota came a great
field. five feet long and three feet wide,
formed entirely Of white asters. In the
center was the red cross of the knights
Templars. A round button, two feet in
diameter. with the red cross in the
center came from the Knights of Ten
nessee. An elaborate offering of roses
and orchids came from Melville K.
Stone, of New York.

THE TELEGRAPH WAS slLENcEI
Entire country's System flushed For
Five Minutes Yesterday.

Chicago Sept. 20-One feature alb
solutely unique in history character
lied the Mckinley obsequies. 1t was
the silencing OF the telegraph. Never
before since electricity was first put
to use as a means OF communication
from city to city and from country to
country has there taken place, it is
said anything paralleling, even in a
small way, what was done yesterday
aIternoeu On scale that was gigan-
tic. Upon orders from the officials of
the dinerent telegraph companies or
upon the common impulse of the opera
tors where direct instructions were not
received, the entire telegraph system
of the United States was suddenly
hushed for five minutes at 2.30 D. M,
the hour set for lowering the Presi-
dents body into the grave at Canton.
At that moment on all the huge net
work of wires, from the Atlantic to
the Pacific, not a "sounder'' IN the land
gave single tick, and the great ocean
cables were pulseless as the corpse o.
the late CHIEF magistrate himself. 1t
is estimated that fully 100000 telegra-
piers thus simultaneously paid hon.
age to the memory of Mckinley. The
total number OF miles of wire affected
was upwards of a million and a quar-
ter. In the Western Union Chicago
office the hundreds of operators all
arose at their desks when the moment
came, and, Joining their voices sang
with deep feeling the Presidents
hymn, Nearer. Ny God, to Thee.

THE CHURCH SERVICES

Canton, o., Sept. 20.--It was 1920 3.
m. yesterday when the funeral process
sion started from the Mckinley home to
the First Methodist Episcopal church.
At either side of the hearse marched
the guard of military and naval honor,
the generals on the right led by Cen
eral Miles and the admirals on the left
led by Admiral Farquhar. Then came
the long lire of carriages. for the rela-
tiyes and friends and after them the in
Vulnerable military and civic organiza-
lions that had assembled to pay this
last honor TO the fallen chief In the
line were division after division of
knights Templars, Knights of Pythias,
Masons, Odd Fellows and representa-
tives Of beneficial orders. chambers of
commerce, as well as delegations of
citizens from cities and town through
out the state and country.
At the church entrance were drawn
Gp deep files of soldiers, with bayonets
advanced, keeping a clear area for the
advancing casket and the long train of
mourners. The hearse halted while
President Roosevelt and members of
the cabinet alighted. Again they
grouped themselves at either side of
the entrance, and with uncovered
heads awaited the passing of the casket.
Then the flower covered coffin was
brought from the hearse and as it
passed within the black draped en-
trance, the president and his cabinet
followed within the edifioe. but the
stricken widow was not among them.
She had remained behind in the old
home, alone with her grief.
Within the Flower-Laden Church.
The scene within the church when
the casket was carried in on the
brawny shoulders Of the soldiers and
sailors was profoundly impressive. A
black border. 20 feet high, relieved at
intervals by narrow white bands fall
ing to the floor, swept completely
around the interior. But it was the
floral display at the front of the church
which filled the whole edifce with
glory. The center of 1t all was a great
wreath Of American Beauties, framing
black bordered portrait Of President
Mckinley. From 1t. extending outward
c, was a perfect wealth OF
ossoms.

New York, Sept 24.--Both the CO.

thorough cleaning and overhauling at
their docks yesterday. Both will be
measured today and then towed to-
Sandy Hook where they will seek their
respective mooring buoys. Sir Thomas
Upton was feeling better yesterday
and said he hoped to be on the Sham
rock during the races. Yesterday he re-
ceived a handsome wreath of pure
shamrocks and heathers from the
Royal Cork Yacht club, the Oldest
yacht club in the world. Bob Fitzsim-
mons, the pugilist, sent gun metal
horseshoe bearing the following words
engraved upon it: From Robert Fitz-
simmons to Sir Thomas Upton. May

THE BEAUTIFUL RESTING PLACE

Canton, o., Sept 20.-No greater rev.
erence has ever been shown to any
man, living or dead, than was exhibited
toward the dead president in Canton
yesterday. AS the funeral car passed
through the streets men and women
sobbed convulsively. Soldiers formed
an unbrokep line on both sides OF the
street from the house to the cemetery.
II was exactly four minutes after four
when the funeral car bore the remains
of the dead president through the gate
way of his last resting place. Twenty
minutes after that time, the brief SER
vices at the vault were over, the MEM
bers of the family and the many distin-
guished men of the nation who had
come so far to do him honor, had
passed through the gates on their
homeward way. One hour and forty
minutes after the hearse had entered
the cemetery the place was clear and
the dead president was resting alone
under the watchful care of the men Of
the regular army.
The march from the house to the
grave was impressive in it's simpleness.
A detachment OF mounted police headed
the parade. Behind them came the
Grand Army band of Canton, the solemn
notes of Nearer My God to Thee"
yelling out as it came up the drive
way. Behind the band came the Grand
Army posts, fully 500 of the veterans
marching by. AS they passed along the
flower strewn path many of them were

a great concourse of people who had
known and loved him, all that is mortal
Of the third president to fall by an
assassins bullet was committed to the
grave.
q 1t was a spectacle of mournful gran
deur. Canton ceased to be town and
swelled to the proportions of a great
city. From every city and hamlet in
Ohio, from the remote corners of the
south, and from the east and west, the
human tide flowed into the town until
100000 people were within it's gates,
here to pay their last tribute to the
fallen chief. The final scenes at the
First Methodist church where the fun
tiful Westlawn cemetery, where the
body was consinged to the vault, were
simple and Impressive.
The service at the church consisted
of brief GRAFTON. prayers by the min
listers Of three denominations and sing
ing by quartette. The body was then
taken to Westlawn cemetery and placed
in a receiving vault, pending the time
when 1t will be finally laid to rest be-
side the dead children who were buried
years ago. The funeral procession was
very imposing and included not only
the representatives of army and navy
of the United States, but the entire
military strength of the state of Ohio
and hundreds of civic, fraternal and
other organizations. 1t was two miles
long.
One of the most pathetic features of
the day was the absence of Mrs. Nc
Kinley from the funeral services at the
church and from the cemetery when
the body of her husband was la'tAs.o
rest. Since the first shock of the s. Ot-
ing, then of death. and through the or
deal of state ceremonies she had borne
mp bravely. But there was limit to
human endurance and when yesterday
came 1t found her too weak to pass
through the trials of the final cere-
monies. Through the open door of her
room she heard the prayer OF the min
lister as the body was borne out of the
house. After that, DR.. Rixey remained
close by her side and although the full
force of the calamity had come upon
her It was believed by those about her
that there was providentIal mercy in
her tears, as they gave some relief to
the anguish of the heart within.
At O'Clock last night President
Roosevelt and the members of the cabi-
net started bac- o Washington.
