POLE KILLED and
THE BODY SUNK
PrOpheSied for ROOSeVeIt'S
Assassination and Was
Beaten to Death

Laurel, Sept ia POlander, well
educated in English, appeared near BIZ
valve, WicOmico county, three days af-
ter the shooting of President McI<in-
ley, representing himself as the dis
honored son of a wealthy importer Of
New York. His manly appearance and
gentlemanly department soon ingrati-
ated him into the confidence of the
best families His affable excuses and
frankness won all with whom he came
in contact. He explained that his
love for a beautiful chorus girl
estranged him from his family. He
said he left home with a stipend, but
was too proud to ask favors from his
people.
Thursday last he secured a position
on an oyster boat manned by Captain
George Rowell His work was of the
best and he soon ingratiated himself
into the confidence of the crew.
Monday night while reading the only
paper they had seen. which was thrown
to them by a passing boat, he exclaim-
ed Teddy will go the same way with
in two months" Herbert HAZEL, one
of the crew, sprang up and in a rage,
cried:
you wretch, what do you mean?'
Before anyone could interfere he
struck the Pole with an iron bar,
knocking him insensible. The crew
Jumped upon the unfortunate man and
were stamping him to death when Cap
tain Rowell and Mate Horsey, with
drawn revOlvers, rescued him and
dressed his wounds as best they could.
After the officers had retired the crew
picked up the seemingly dying man and
threw him into the Chesapeake bay,
where he evidently drowned. It is
thought that he was none other than
the man that preceded the murderer of
President Mckinley on the fateful day
in Music Hall at Buffalo.

MRS. M'EINLEY'S CONDITION
Borrowing Widow Breaking Down Under
Severe Strain

Canton. Sept l9-Mrs. Mckinley
the sorrowing widow Of the martyred
President, is breaking down under the
severe strain to which she has been
subjected since the shooting down OF
her husband at Buffalo, week ago
Friday.
One Of the best evidences Of her con-
dition is the information given out
that she will not attend the funeral
services today. Or. Rixey fears the
consequences, and thought il best Ia
advise this course Mrs. Mckinley
uncertain temperament is given as IN,
cause.
Mrs Mckinley stood the long, tedi
GUS ride from Washington better thar
Dr. Rixey anticipated. but she was quite
weak when the train arrived at Can
ton. In fact. she had to be half carrie,
to the carriage. Immediately afte
reaching the North Market stree
home she retired to her room, denying
herself to all. Last night she retire,
quite early, but not before taking an
other look upon the face Of THE Ma
ior." as she fondly calls her dead hus
band. 1t was upon her request tina
the body was brought from the Cit
Hall to the house last night.

selves requested that the day be OBJ
served.
Many of the cafes and saloons, drug
stores. eating houses and cigars stores
are closed for the entire day or for
such part of it as will cover the time
of the interment of the martyred
President at his Canton home.

GRAPHIC STORY
BY SHIPS CREW
Halifax Struck With 300
Passengers on Board
GOODNESS AMONG OFFICERS
Boat Sank Shortly After Passengers
Had Been Landed-NOw at
The II. & II. Go.

Thrilling is the story told by the
crew of the steamer Halifax, which on
August - sunk in Boston harbor, and
which now is undergoing repairs at the
Harlan and Hollingsworth Company.
About 615 on the morning Of August
u the Halifax. with 300 passengers
on board struck in Boston harbor and
began to FIJI rapidly.
For a moment a panic seized the
passengers, but with great GOODNESS
the steamers crew went among them,
assuring them that there was no dan
ger. This had the effect of quieting
the most timid, and the work of land
ing then began.
Georges Island was the nearest
point of land, and in an incredible
short time the 900 passengers had been
landed.
With the ebb tide the Halifax listed
over and sunk. She was raised the neXi
week. however, and taken to Boston by
the Boston Towboat Company.
A survey was held on the steamer
huh and tenders were offered by un
derwriters. The Harlan and Holdings
worth Company was the successful
bidder. and accordingly the steame
was brought to this city.
While no great damage was done Il
the hull Of the steamer. she will b
given a thorough overhau,ing and vii
not leave before December -.
The Halifax is a twin screw steame
of 93S tons gross. She was built Il
Glasgow in 1887 and had been in tn
I Cunard and Atlantic trade, plyin
between Halifax. Nova SCOTLAND Boz
ton. Captain Pyle is in command.

Two men. masked with handker- chiefs. entered the Chicago Club rooms at Hot Springs and with drawn revol- vers held up all the occupants of the place. Henry Turner, one of the pro pretors. sitting with his back toward the main entrance. heard the request. but paid no attention to it. thinking perhaps some friend was playing joke The robber pressed his 45 against Fur ners head and said: Will you put them hands up or must put your light out?' Turner naturally lost no time in doing as requested. All were lined up against the wall, and while one of the bandits kept them covered the oth- CT went through the pockets of each. from Turner they took one roll of bills amounting to $500 and missed another roll Of sl. .500 which he had in his in side coat pocket.

Bondsmen Must Re Rasidents.

The question of the right of county officials to make their bonds in surety companies having arisen. Attorney General George w. Murphy has given out the following:
 County officials are not permitted to make bonds through the medium of guarantee or surety companies. Art 19, sec. 21 of the constitution express ly forbids this. but this section was subsequently, amended and the legisla- ture given authority to pass law of that kind, although it has never been done. The sureties on such bonds must reside in the county where the officer resides. and they must have suf teient property therein, not exempt from sale under attachment. execu- tion or other process, to make good their bonds" The section of the con- st1tution cited by the attorney general Is as follows: The sureties upon the official bonds of all state officers shall be residents of and have sufficient property within the state not exempt from sale under execution attachment or other process of any court to make good their bonds: and the sureties upon the official bonds of all county officers shall reside within the coun- ties where such officers reside and shall have suffi cient property therein not exempt from such sale to make good their bonds"

TREATY RATIFICATION.

Washington. Dec. 1S.-Lord PauI&ce- fote, the British ambassador, called at the state department, yesterday, to confer with Secretary Hay re- specting the next steps to be taken toward consummatingt the treaty rati- fled Monday by the senate, to replace the Clayton-Bulwer treaty. It is pos sible that ratification will be ex- changed in about month. King Ed ward first must ratify the treaty, and then, the exchange copies of the con vention having been prepared, the British copy will be sent to Washing ton, where they probably will be ex- changed. The treaty provides that this act may take place either in Washington or in London, but. in de- ference to Lord Pauncefote's wishes, it is likely that this, the last act in sible that notifications will be ex- the treaty-making, will occur in Washington.

Vehicle Tax ConstitntionnI

In the case of Edward Brewster vs. City of Pine Bluff. the Arkansas su- preme court last week passed upon the validity of an ordinance of the city O. Pine Bluff imposing, among other li- censes. a charge of SIP for keeping of drays. The collection Of this fee was resisted by Brewster, upon the ground that the amount charged was in excess of that required to defray the cost of recording the licenses and issuing li- cense tabs etc. and was, therefore an ordinance for the purpose of rais- ing revenue. The ordinance was en- acted under the general law giving to municipal corporations certain police powers. The court held that while the amount was greatly in excess of the amount required as expense of record ing etc. vet the ordinance was police regulation, designed to regulate some thing which the evidence showed was q necessary or proper subject of police supervision in Pine Bluff, and. as such. Was valid.
