VOORHEES, THREATENED
Postal Sent Him Purporting
to Come From Anar-
chists.
rspecial to ..The Jersey City News."l

j
TRENTON, Sept. 10. 1901-A postal card
was sent yesterday to Governor Voorhees,
which either means that there is band
of anarchists in Jersey City who are i'm
bued with the idea that he must die, or
else someone with a perverted sense OF
humor sent it as a scare. In the morn
ing mail came a card bearing the post
mark of Jersey City, written in scraWly
hand with a lead pencil. The body of
the note began about the middle of the
card, ending up at the bottom with the
lines running into each other. No name
was signed In full it read
West Hoboken, September II.
Dear Sir-You want TO keep quiet
and keep your detectives away from
here or you will get what Mckinley
got.
On the address side of the postal read
Governor
Governor VOORHEES,.
Personal, Trenton N. J.
1t is thought that the postal to Cover
nor VOORHEES, is the outcome of the vgi-
lance of the police of Jersey City, Hobo
ken, Weehawken and other suburbs of
the former city.
instrumental in the actions of the author
tiles in those places, he has been out
spoken against the anarchists, as has
every other respectable citizen of the
country, and this may be the cause of
writing the postal.
Two alleged anarchists, man and
woman, were expected from Union Hill,
being escorted beyond the town limits by
police.
The woman was Mrs. Quintevalli wife
of the alleged co-conspirator with Bresci,
the slayer of King Humbert
The man was Charles MARITIME, of No.
2sO Madison street, West FIoboken.
The pair were arrested on the complaint
of Hugh Mullins, of No 225 Clinton street.
West Hoboken. He said he was talking
with Martino and Mrs. Quintevali in a
barroom in Spring street about President
Mckinley, and was denouncing the as
sassin, when Martino said
s.Shut up, or Ill do the same to you
that my friend Czolgosz did to McKin-
leyr'
When this utterance was repeated to
Recorder Henzel he told the pair they
must leave town at once. The police did
the rest.
Mayor Neuman, of Cliffside Park, Ber-
gen County, has informed Mrs. Bresci,
widow of the man who killed King Hum
bert, that it would be well If she moved
from the borough quickly.
The writing on the envelope is evil
dently disguised and it would be practi-
cally impossible to prove who sent it, al
though a good, heavy sentence would
await the man who was found guilty.
Owing to this punishment it is unlikely
that ANYBODY. will claim the authorship
of the threat, because even the anarchists
hate to be punished for their acts.
The postal laws alone would land the
writer in prison, and the general law
concerning a threat upon another's life
would keep him there.
Governor Voorhees, does not know of
the threatening postal, owing to his abb
sence on account of the funeral of Presi-
dent Mckinley, and 1t is, therefore, un-
known what action, If any. he will
take in the matter. or whether he will
regard it as a scare.

FEAR A COLLAPSE.
Mrs. McKinley's Condition
Said to Be Alarming.

A despatch from Canton says that Mrs.
Mckinney is on the verge of a complete
collapse and it is not likely that she will
be able to attend the funeral services this
afternoon. Abner Mckinley, brother of
the President said at midnight
Mrs. Mckinley is falling perceptiby,
though we hope she may be able to stand
today's ordeal. 1t is doubtful if she will

al the church, although it is her earnest
wish to do so. DIR. Rixey will remain
with her for some time
Mr. Mckinley spoke guardedly but he
could rot disguise the deep anxiety he
felt. His displayed deep feeling, and
spoke with emotion of the condition of
his brothers widow.
Mrs McKinley's condition puzzles her
physicians. She has shown marvellous
physical strength, but it is feared that
her collapse will be mental. She does
not seem to realize that her husband is
dead and speaks of him constantly as If
he were living. Her inability to compre-
hend the situation is pitifu.
Friends of the stricken woman do not
pretend to conceal their anxiety over her
condition. They do not deny that indica-
terrible experience of the last two weeks
A member of the party of ladies who ac-
companied Mrs. Mckinley from Buffalo
says
Mrs Mckinley seems to bear the strain
very we'll so far as her physical con-
diton is concerned, but it is feared that
mentally she will never be the same as
before. 1t is feared that after the funeral
TODAY she will collapse completely"
DR.. Rixey is in constant attendance on
Mrs. MCKINLEY, and two trained nurses
are with her. Her devoted niece, Miss
Mary Barber, is also constantly by her
side.
1t had been intended to let the body re-
nose in the city Hall all night, and Mrs.
Mckinley had consented to the arrange
ment. but just at darkness began to

body be brought home to her.

much as possible for the ordeal tomorrow.

1t appears that the woman had ben be-
queathed a large fortune by a dead rela-
tive in Australia, but she could not OBJ
tain it owing to litigation. President Nc
Kinley, Postmaster-General Charles En-
ory Smith. other members Of the Cabinet,

spiracy to deprive her of her fortune. MT.

this government and a God / am no
