 The Amounting Ceremony.
 After the archbishop's amounting prayer q gold canopy was brought over the kings chair and his majes- ty divested himself of his outer robe and then walked to the ancient chair, while the choir sang Seadok's an- them. The amounting ceremony was scarcely seen, owing to the canopy. The spectators were just able to dis cern the archbishop of Canterbury's $ motions.
 After the prayer the king donned tn colombium sindonis, then resumed his seat, and from scarlet silllen roll on which the prayers were print ed in large type, and which was held by the dean of Westminster, the arch | bishop of Canterbury read the pray CTS and delivered the sword to the king who did not go to the altar. the sword being taken to him by the dean of Westminster while his majesty re- mained standing.

After this the king once more gave the prince his hand, this time to shake, and the hearty vigor of King Ed wards grasp showed that his hand at any rate had not lost its strength.
 Nobility Swear FeaIty.
 The duke of Norfolk, as earl mar shal, accompanied by representa- tises of each grade of the nobility, read the oath beginning: q, the duke, earl" etc, do become your liege man of life and limb," etc. Respective rep resentatiyes next touched the crown and kissed the kings cheek, the duke of Norfolk being the only peer to read the oath. This portion of the service was considerably shortened.
 The Queen Enthroned.
 The queen then rose and, accom- panied by her entourage, proceeded to the altar steps. where, under a pail

ATT'Y-GEN. KNOX ASSAULTED.
Mr. Knox Tells the Story of the As- saEIt Made Upon Him at Att
 Iantfc City, N. J.

Oyster Bay, N. T., Aug. 9.-To a representative of the press Mir. Knox confirmed the report that he had had personal difficulty with a party of men in Atlantic City last Wednesday night.
 It was one of those disagreeable incidents, said he, that sometimes occurs in restaurant or other pubb- lie place Accompanied by Mrs. Knox, my daughter and two or threefriends, including District Attorney Youngs. of Pittsburg, I was dining in the res taurant of the Garden hotel. A par ty of men, none of whom I knew, seated themselves at an adjoining ta- ble. Their conduct was unseemlJ and boisterous. They talked loudly and their comments upon members of my party and upon me were insulting, to put it very mildly. In the eircum- stances, accompanied as I was by the ladies, I could not resent their ac- tions or their words at that time. They evidently were seeking trouble, so, without attracting any more at- tention than possible, l got my party out of the restaurant.
 "Then I returned" continued MT. Knox, with smile, ito see if the men really were looking for me. l think they were, for scarcely had 1 ap- preached them when they sprang up. One of them aimed a blow at my stomach, but it failed to reach me. 1 have no idea who he was. What hap pened to him l am not prepared to say. Those things occur very quick ly. I am quite satisfied, however, that he does not feel as well to-day as do. You will note that l am looking | first-rate."
 You do not know who were in the party of your assalants?' the atA torney-general was asked.
 Not positively. l understand that Charles T. Schoen, of Philadelphia, and one of the Cramps. also of Phil adelphia, were in the party, but even of that ] am not at all positive"

 Before the Great Throne.
 He then walked to the great throne, where he stood on the dais for the first time, surrounded by nobles. The archbishop of Canterbury followed, the king being obliged to stand while awaiting the arrival of the archbish- op
 Having placed the king upon his new throne, the archbishop knelt and paid homage, the aged prelate scarce lv being able to rise until the king assisted him and himself raised the archbishop's hands from the steps of the throne. The archbishop who seemed to be in a faint, had to be practically carried to the altar. The incident created considerable excite ment and several prelates rushed for ward te help the primate.
 King and Heir Apparent.
 The next person to pay homage to his ma jesty was the prince of Wales, who knelt until King Edward held out his hands, which he kissed, after

programme. When the king held out his hand for the ring. the archbishop of Canterbury had difficulty in finding it, but finally, with trembling hands, he placed it on the tip of his majes- tvs finger, reading the prayer simul- taneously. the king himself complet- ing the process of putting on the ring as he withdrew his hand. Later, the archbishop had similar difficulty, owing to nearsightedness. in placing the crown on the kings head. In fact. the choir started God Save the King" while the archbishop of Can terbury was still striving to place the crown on the rulers head, and great shout went up and the electric lights were turned on.
 Joy Bells and Artillery Salutes.
 As the acclamations died away the changing ioy-bells, the noise of guns and the shouting of people outside penetrated into the abbey, where the king still sat, motionless, his dazzling crown on his head and his sceptre held firmly in his hand.

FOR CARRIE LARSON MURDER.
Lewis c. Toombs, the Murderer of Carrie Larson, Hanged In the
 Cook County Jail at Chicago.

Chicago, Aug. 9.-Lewis c. Toombs was hanged at 11:2o for the murder of Carrie Larsen.
 Toombs, who was cook on the steamer Peerless, had hired Miss Lar son to assist him. Late on the night of December 90 last he returned to the steamer and tried to force his way into the young woman's room. Failing of this, he ordered her to cook him a meal. As she started to comply Toombs strangled her, muti- lated her body horribly and then com pelled Robert Keissig, who was an unwilling witness, to help him bury the body under the ice of the river. Keissig informed on him.

with heralds, pursuivants and oth- CT officers of state in medi- eval costomes. with peers and peeresses in rich robes. with oriental potentates in many-hued raiment, with men of all types and all shades of complexion from distant points CT the new crowned monarch's empire, with its dazzling display of jewels and wealth of color, presented a pie ture whicl in it's combined brilliancy and distinction has seldom been eX- celled.
 Excitement About the Palace.
 As the hour approached for the de- parture of the royal procession, ex- citement about Buckingham palace was most marked. Runctual to time the advance guard of the royal caval- cade issued from the archway, the horses of the troopers curvetting nervously as they faced the wall of humanity that cheered their coming. Shortly afterward came the prince and princess of Wales procession, and finally, within a few minutes, their maiesties' state coach appeared at NHt SdNtNdA- anu lllt hlliS anu queen smiled and bowed in response to the mighty roar of cheers that dwarfed all previous welcomes.
 4 Remarkable Scene.
 The scene in the vicinity was re- markable. On the roof of the palace were perched a number of fashiona- bly, dressed ladies, members of the household, and their cheers, with the futtering of their handIlerchiefs as the king and queen entered the royal coach, gave the signal for the deaf ening plaudits of the populace which greeted their maiesties as they emerged from the gates. The ova- tion was taken up by the crowds which thronged the Mall and was re- peatedly acknowledged by the occu- pants of the state coach.
 The King Looked Pale.
 The king looked pale and rather fine drawn. and was by no means as brown and robust as previous re- ports had led one to expect, and while punctliously lowing from side to side. he did so with a gravity very unusual to him. The queen, beside him. was radiant. She never looked better. The cheers which greeted the pair were loud and unmistaka- hly genuine and very different from the perfunctory applause which usu- ally greets the appearance of mem bers of the royal family.
 The Three Processions.
 The three processions to the abbey were carried out according to pro- gramme and the only striking feat ures of the first two were the gor- geous state carriages and the beau tiful trGppings and horses.
 The progress of the royal cortege was marked by no special incident with the exception of an accident to Lord Edward Pelham Clinton. one of the grooms-in-waiting. It was con tnued triumph, and reached it's eli max on the arrival at the abbey, where there was a scene of un- paralleled enthusiasm which did not cease until their majesties disap- peared in the annex.
 In Westminster Abbey.
 In Westminster abbey the doors of that edifice were scarcely opened and the gold sticks and ushers had bare ly found their stations before the seats began to fill. Peers and peer esses swept up the nave, their scarlet and ermine making vivid contrasts with the deep blue of the carpet As they arrived before the thrones they

London. Aug. 9.-King Edward and Queen Alexandra were crowned in Westminsterabbey shortly after noon Saturday. Though the ceremony was bereft of some of the elaboration and pageantry originally contemplated, it lacked little in the way of spectacular perfection The whole ceremonial was of magnifieently-decorative character. and presented a constant ly changing panorama, round the two central figures enthroned in their robes of velvet, ermine and cloth-of- gold. amidst the distinguished assem- blaze of actors, the fulfllment of whose various roles necessitated con stant movement.

os cIoth-of-Sold, she was quickly crowned by the archbishop of York. supported by the bishops. She was then led to the throne beside that in which the king sat and her enthroni- zation was accomplished. The queen bowed to King Edward and both walked to the altar and received the communion, after delivering their crowns to the lord great chamber lain and another officer appointed to hold them. The pages, while their majesties lnelt, still held the queens magnificent long train with the rest of the nobles present kneeling. The rest of the spectacle was impressive and was made moreFbrilliant by the electric light.
 Venerable Archbishop of Cnnter- bury.
 By great effort the archbishop or Canterbury was enabled to conclui2 the service, and the king and queen repaired to St. Edwards chapel. Neither of their ma iesties returned to their thrones after the communion, but remained at the altar. The serv- ice, which was completed with the singing of te deum was brought to close without hitch. The king exhibited no outward traces of fatigue.
 Departure From the Abbey.
 The departure of the king and queen from the abbey was signaled by another salute. the maSsed bands playing God Save the King The en- tire route of their majesties' return to the palace was marked byseenes of enthusiasm similar to those which greeted their progress to the abbey. the more circuitous route through Glubland and Constitution hill giving | the hundreds of thousands of persons occupying the stands, windows and roofs an opportunity of greeting the new crowned king and his consort be- fore they re-entered Buckingham pal ace. which they did in the midst of remarkable scenes of enthusiasm, the entire crowd from Constitution hill downwards joining in singing the national anthem.
 Appeared On the Balcony.
 Shortly after the return of the king and queen to the palace it was of 1 ficially announced from there that the king had borne the ceremony well and that he had suffered in no way from fatigue, and this was confirmed by the presence of the king himself when. in response to the repeated | plandits of the crowds. his majesty, accompanied by the queen, appeared on the balcony in their robes and crowns. The faces of both were suf- fused with smiles as they bowed re- peatedly their recognition of the warmth of the applause.
