DIED IN HIS CHAIR
Abner McKinley's End Came Suddenly
at his Home.
BODY TAKEN TO CANTON FOR BURIAL,
The Late Presidents Brother Had Brghfs
Disease and Had Used Every Means TO
Overcome the Fatal MaIady-he Had Taken
Drive During the Day-family TO Be the
Guests Of Mrs. Ida Mckinley.

Somerset, Pa, (SpeciaD. - Abner
Mckinley, brother OF the late Presi-
dent Mckinley, was found dead in
chair at his home at o'clock A. Nj.
His death came without warning to
his family. His colored servant, who
slept in his room, was up with HIM
at 2 O'Clock, and it is not known at
what time Mr.. Mckinley got up again,
as he did not waken his servant. Mrs.
Mckinley walked into his room at
8 o'clock and found him sitting in a
chair cold and apparently dead. A
physician was summoned. who said
death had probably occurred two or
three hours before.
Mr.. McKinley's death was due to
Brghts disease, which developed
shortly after the death of his dis
tinguished brother three years ago.
Since then Mr.. Mckinley has devoted
nearly all his time in vain attempt
to overcom. the fatal malady, consult
ing the most eminent physicians ami
travelling from one climate to another.
Two weeks ago he returned from
Tampa, Fla, where he had been for
six weeks, and placed himself under
the care of Dr. Henri |. Marsden.

DENOUNCES DYNAMITING.
Western Federation Will Join In Offering
Reward for Arrest OF Guilty Parties.

Victor, Col, (SpeciaD AT a meet
ing of the Mineworkers' Association
the dynamite assassination was dis
cussed Deepest indignation was ex-
pressed and it was the unanimous
opinion that under no circumstances
should the murderers escape. Many
of the members pledged their IN
dividual support to run down and
punish the cOnspiratorS and a large
reward will be offered by the associa-
ton.
The county commissioners and dit
ferent mine arrangements Will offer
individual rewards also.
The local committee of the Western
Federation of Miners has authorized
the statement that they deplore the
wholesale murder. The following is
a statement given out by them:
"No men who deserve to live would
or could approve the awful deed. The
fends who planned and carried out
the deviisn crime should be detected
and punished to the full extent of the
law. The crime must be unearthed
and the perpetrators punished. The
committee and all the local members
of the Western Federation of Miners
are ready and willing to assist in I'M
covering the guilty ones and will use
every endeavor to assist the authorities
in their efforts, and we herewith
tender the services of all our members.
1--WE will also join in offering a
suitable reward for the arrest and
conviction Of the guilty persons"

Sherman Bell made the following
statement for publications:
Il have indisputable evidence which
will lead 10 the conviction OF NUM-
Der of union men for the murder OF
the non-union miners who were killed
in the Independence Depot explosion.
We have between IS and 40 men IN
the bull pen who will swing for this
crime We are only waiting to capture
two or three more men before we tell
what Our evidence is"
Another battle is possibly being
fought in the mountains. Early IN
the day Major T. E. McClelland and
a detail of 10 men went to Clyde.
eight miles east Of Victor, to round rp
IS miners reported to be intrenched IN
the mountains near there. Having
failed to hear from them, Major Gen
eral Bell is becoming apprehensiiye.
There is no Geographic communlca-
ton with the camp.
81 ordered Major McClelland," said
General Bell, ito take no chances and
shoot down the first man that re-
sisted hence | fear it has been a
repetition of the battle of Dunville.
OF course, Major McClelland may
have captured the men and, in the abb
sence of railroad communications, may
be walking them to Victor. However,
as the miners are said to be heavily
armed, | am fearful that battle has
taken place"

MASKED men DYNAMITE CARS.
Passenger Train on Denver and Rio Grande
Held Up By Robbers.

Denver, Col. (SpeciaD. - Denver
and Rio Graude passenger train No.
S. westbound frcm Denver, -waS held
up by five masked men three miles
west of Parachute, a small fruit sta
ton midway between Grand Junction
and Glenwood Springs.
One sealed bag containing species
was taken from the express car safe.
which was dynamited. The express
car was badly wrecked by dynamite.
but the robbers were forced to take
to the mountains before they could
gather up the valuables in the car.
Sheriff W. G.. Struthers and Deputy
Sheriff D. NJ. Hardy of Grand JUNG
ton. are now on the trail OF the rob.
bers with posse OF farmers and
ranchers. quickly summoned from the
vicinity of Grand Junction.
Sheriff Frank Adams and another
posse from Glenwood Springs are al
so securing the surrounding country.
When the train reached a point
three miles west Of Parachute two
masked men crawled over the tender
of the engine. They placed pistols
at the heads of Engineer Allison and
his fireman. and made them stop the
train Three men, who were wait
ing on the tender, then jumped down
and uncouplei the express and bag
gage cars. These cars. with the en-
CINE. were run two miles farther west
The train crew received orders to
remain behind on pain of being shot.
When the point selected for the dyna..
hitting of the express car was reached
Messenger D. NJ. Shea refused to
open the car and piled the baggage
up in front of the door.
The robbers, with stick OF dyna'
mte, blew away the side door OF the
car and half dozen trunks were de-
molished.
The great iron combination safe
was the only one in the car. The
robbers showed that they were con-
versant with conditions on the road,
for they did not even ask the mes
senger to open the safe. They knew
that he did not have the combination.
This safe can only be opened in Den
yer and in Salt Lake City.
A stick Of dynamite was then placed
against the lock on the safe. Al
this point Brakeman Shellenbargef
who had been ordered to remain with
the passenger coaches two miles be-
hind, came running up with a lantern.
One of the robbers shot him IN the
leg. He is now in hospital at Grand
Junction.
When the ROBBERS saw that the
train crew was coming they fed to the
mountains One of them as he jumped
from the express car grabbed one
sealed bag which had been blown
clear out Of the safe This was the
only plumber which was taken.
After the holdup the engine. bag
gage and express cars were backed
to Parachute, when the alarm was
given

MENACE TO CIVILIZATION
Doctors Have a Symposium on Pneu'
mOnia.
The Dread Disease Declared to Be on the
Increase In Every City ia the Union Except
Washington Sternbsrg. Discoyerer OF
the PnuemOcocus, and DR.. Fulton Take Pari
Ia the Discussion.

Atlantic City, N. J., (SpeciaD.-
Pneumonia, which. in the words OF
Dr. Edward F. Wells. OF Chicago, is
a new menace to civilization was
the subject OF much earnest discussion
by the members OF the American
Medical Association. At the session
of the section of hygiene and sani
tary science the disease was dealt
with i'll paper read by Dr. Wells.
who stated that it was virulently com
municipal, and the section of materia
nedica, pharmacy and therapeutics held
symposium for the discussion of the
subject. Among those who partici-
pated in the discussion were former
Surgeon General Sternberg; DR.
George Dock, of Ann Arbor, Mich.
DR.. Solomon Soil Cohen, OF Philadel.

Chicago; Dr. J. NJ Anders, of Phila.

Washington; DR.. J. S. Fulton, of Bal.
timore' and many other distinguished
physicians.
Dr. Wells said that the prevalence
of pneumonia is remarkably on the in.
crease. He quoted 80 cases of COM
municable cirulency. He recon-
mended the use of. moistened cloths
before the face and nose when sneez
ing and coughing. He stated that the
pneumocOcCus was present III the
throat and nose of many persons any
that it may be communicable BY
coughing or sneezing.
DR.. Sternberg, who is the discoverel
OF the pneumococcus, or pneumonia
germs, doubted the practicabilty OF
any method Of fumigating or steri
izing a room in which the germs might
harBen to be. He discovered the
germ in himself in 1880, and went tc
Philadelphia to complete his expert
ments, and verified them in Europe.
Dr. George NJ Kober, of Washing.
ton, said that Washington was the
only city not showing an increase in
pneumonia. He said thai alcoholism in.
vites the disease, and that the negroes
of whom there are many in Washing
ton, are not heavy drinkers, and to
that fact he attributed the proportion.
ately small number of pneumonia
cases.
The symposium was held in an en-.
deayor to find way of securing
specific, either synthetic or serum, for
the treatment of the disease. The
speakers stated in most cases that
while pneumonia was not on the in
crease the mortality. had not been
