Sunday night, and forced Is families to
take their departure from the town be-
fore daylight. The raiders. surrounded
the houses and terrorized the anarch-
lists by firing Winchesters and revolv-
ers and yelling like Indians. During
lull in the fusilade, one Of the anarch-
lists, who could speak English, ventur-
ed from his house under flag of truce
and had a parley with the invaders.
The result of the conference was that
the anarchists agreed to be responsible
for the immediate removal Of the whole
colony. By the terms of the capitula-
ton the foreigners were to leave the
vicinity with their wives, children and
all their belongings before daybreak.
They kept their contract, and before
the sun rose every house in the settle
men was deserted. The only favor
they asked in return for their exodus
was that their lives should be spared.
-Czolgosz was again taken to the
county court at Buffalo on Tuesday.
Former Supreme Court Justices Titus
and Lewis, were appointed to defend
him. Judge Titus was away at Mil
waukee, Wisconsin. Judge Lewis was
on hand. Both justices were averse to
defending the prisoner unless compell-
ed to do so. Judge Lewis appeared in
an informal capacity. He had tried
to get an interview with Czolgosz; but
the assassin would not talk to him.
When arraigned before the bar Of the
court, the assassin acted as on the pre-
ceding day, refusing to answer ques-
tions. Justice Lewis again entered
plea of not guilty, stating that he re-
served the right to withdraw the same
and enter a special plea, should 1t be
desirable to do so after conference with
Judge Titus. That meant the purpose
of the Judge to enter the insanity plea
should it be desirable. The Buffalo bar
association has passed resolutions urg-
ing Judge Titus to accept the appoint
hangs back in doubt for fear that his
career might be ruined.
Says a New York dispatch of Sep
tember IS: The Rev. DR.. S. L. Beiler,
pastor of the Richmond Avenue Meth
odist Episcopal church, of Buffalo, Is
in the city, and was asked about the
reports that no minister had seen Pres
ident Mckinley from the time he was
shot until he died. He said this was
true, but it had not been the fault of
the ministers. DR.. Beiler said he was
at the Emergency hospital at the time
the president was put on the operating
table. He found two other ministers
at the ropes trying to get to the hos
pital. He sent his card to Mr.. Scatch
erd and was admitted to the hospital
and waited within call until they were
ready to remove the president. He
hurried to the Milburn house. He call
ed almost daily during the week, and
was in touch with those who were near
the president and his family. The Rev.
DR.. C. V. Wilson, who was pastor of the
president for three years in Canton, and
DR.. Locke, whose father was a pastor
in Canton. also called several times, DR..
Beiler said, but did not see the presi-
dent The failure of any minister to
see the president, he declared, was due
to the restrictive orders issued by the
surgeons.
Says Washington dispatch Of Sep
tember II: The friends of Mrs. McKin-
ley are seriously alarmed about her.
They speak with grave apprehension
of the days that are soon to come when
she will be borne up no longer by her
sense of duty and the sustaining force
of her desire to perform her full part in
the ceremonies that the national char
acter and tragic end of her husband
make appropriate. 1t is believed that
she will be able to go through the SER
vices at Canton without too great diff
ficulty, but subsequently a collapse Is
greatly feared. This evening Mrs. Nc
at Buffalo: but continues to bear up
with great fortitude. This afternoon
she gave vent to her grief more freely
than at any time since the tragedy.
She sobbed and cried for a long time
and these paroxysms of grief sapped
her strength to quite degree. DR..
Rixey was with his patient several
times during the day and spent quite
little while with her late in the af-
ternoon. remaining until nearly six
o'clock. After this last call he said
that he was fairly confident Of Mrs.
McKinley's ability to take part in the
services at Canton.
The Fraternal Record. of Washing

Mckinley became Mason under very
unusual circumstances. His entrance
into the order was an accident of the
war between the states and was very
unique. 1t occurred near the close of
the civil strife. while Major Mckinley
was in the Federal army. The young
officer was stationed at Winchester,
Va. where was located a hospital for

rather unusual cordiality. The surgeon
