The Sa'Iant.

Leon Czologosz, the would-be as
sassin has signed a confession covering
six pages of fOolscap, which states
that he is an anarchist and that he be-
came an enthusiastic member of that
body through the influence of Emma
Goldman. whose writings he had read
and whose lectures he had listened
to. He denies having any confederate
and says he decided on the act three
days ago and bought the revolver with
which the act was committed in Buff
falO. He had seven brothers and sis
ters in Cleveland, and the Cleveland
directory has the names of about that
number living on Hosmer street and
Ackland avenue, which adjoin. Some
of them are butchers and others in
different trades. He is now detained at
police headquarters pending the result
of the Presidents injuries
CzologosZ does not appear in the
least degree uneasy or penitent for his
action. He says he was induced by
his attention to Emma Goldmans lee
lures and writings to decide that the
present form of government in this
country was all wrong and he thought
the best way to end it was by killing
the President He shows no sign of
insanity, but is very reticent about
much of his career. While acknoWl-
edging himself an anarchist, he does
not state to what branch of the or.
ganiZation he belongs.

The News ir London.

London, By Cable.-The news of
the attempt upon the life of President
Mckinley spread slowly in London.
The first ticker reports were discred-
tied; then, with the confirmat ton and
general dissemination of the news,
arose a far-reaching feeling Of sorrow
and Indignation which, wherever
Americans gathered, almost gained the
proportions of a panic, accompanied
by feverish anxiety for further details.
The thousands of Americans now in
London were mostly at the theatres
when the news arrived; and returning
to their hotels found anxious groups
Of Englishmen and Americans discuss
ing what. without distinction Of race,
is regarded as national calamity.
The announcement of the attempted
assassination was received too late for
extra editions OF the papers to an
nOunce the news to the mass OF the
English people and they will not learn
until they take up their morning pa
pers of the Presidents Injuries.

ters. AS soon as the crowd in the
Temple OF Music had been dispersed
suffciently the President was re-
moved in the automobile ambulance
and taken to the exposition hospital.
where an examination was made The
best medical skill was summoned and
within brief period several of Buff
falo's best known practitioners were
at the patients side.
MR.. McKTNLEY'S INJURIES.
The President retained the full
exercise of his faculties until placed
on the operating table and sub 7cted
to an anaesthetic. Upon the first ex-
animation it was ascertained that one
bullet had taken effect in the right
breast just below the nipple, causing
a comparatively harmless wound. The
other took effect in the abdomen about
four inches below the left nipple, four
inches to the left of the navel. and
about on a level with it. Upon arrival
at the exposition hospital the second
bullet wound was probed. The walls
OF the abdomen were opened, but the
ball was not located. The incisiOn was
hastily closed and after a hasty con
sultatfOn, it was decided to remove
the patient to the home of President
Milburn.

Az Ugly Crim".

StatesvilIe, Special.-A serious crime
was revealed here when the little o
year old daughter of Maggie Burke, ii
woman of disreputable character, re
turned homo. The facts as learned
are that some days ago one Pleas b.
Mcdaniel, who lives about a mile from
Ostwalt postCfffce, appeared at the
house of Maggie Burke and stated that
he wanted to take her little girl home
with him TO raise as member Of his
family, and to this the mother con
sented, Mcdaniel having convin ed
the mcSher that he would take proper
care of the child. Last Saturday Nc
Daniel started to his home with the
child. 1t was late in the afternoon
when Mcdaniel was nearing home and
as a threatening cloud was approach
ing he took the g.rl to an clubhouse
until the rain was over. 1t was at
this place that the crime was commit
ted. The girl states that Mcdaniel at

her cries. The neighbOr5 on learning

SENSATIONAL SUIT
". N. c. Railroad Advertised For
Sale.

Salisbury, Special.-A sensational
move was made today by counsel for
Mrs. Fannie Howard and Mrs. Clemye
James. whose suits against the W. y.
c. R. r. Co.. have attracted wide at
tention. Under a decree OF the United
States courts the Western North Car
olina Railroad was sold 10 the South
ern Railway Company in June. 1894,
and the contention of the Southern is
that the former company therupon
ceased to exist. Nevertheless Mrs.
James and Mrs. Howard. the wives OF
an engineer and a fireman killed in a
wreck at Old Fort, brought suit in the
State Courts against the w. n. Il. R.
Co, and got judgment, respectively,
for $50 and for So COO. The object
Of bringing suit in this manner, suing
the Western instead OF the Southern,
was, of course, to deprive the latter Of
resort to the United Stetes courts. The
matter has been fought backward and
forwards through the Circuit Court Of

final settlement than ever.
Wednesday occurred the new move
on the part OF the plaintiffs mentioned
above. This is nothing less than to ad-
vertise the sale Of the Western North
Carolina Railroad, exten ling from Sal
isbury to Paint Rock, and from Ashe.
Vile to Murphy. Advertisement is
made IN the Salisbury Sun, under exc
cutions from the Superior Court OF
Rowan county, the sale to take place
at the court house door in Salisbury
on Monday, October 7th.
Hon. Lee S. Overman, who, with B.
F. Long Esq, Of Statesville, and eX-
Judge A. c. Avery, of MOrgantOn, rep
reserts Mrs James and Mrs. Howard,
said that the sale would take place
and would be valid that a purchaser
was assured He said that the opinion
of the United States Circuit Court Of
Appeals in the matter, handed down
last May, held that Mrs. James and
Mrs. Howard were not precluded by
the sale of the road to the Southern,
that is to say, it is not valid so far as
they are concerned.
Capt Chas. Price, division counsel
of the Southern, who has appeared in
these cases for the company, declined |
to take the matter seriously. He said f!
that railroads could not be legally sold |
in any such manner. For the present, |
at least, he said. no notice would be |
taken of it.

A DRAMATIC TRAGEDY.
Inside on the slightly raised dais
was enacted within those few feyerish
moments a tragedy, so dramatic in
character, SO thrilling in it's intensity
that few who looked on will ever be
able to give a succinct account Of what
really did transpire. Even the actors
who were playing the principal roles
came out Of it with blanched faces,
trembling limbs and beating hearts

tumult of conflicting emotions which
could not be clarified into a lucid mar
