posing effectively of the hope that the
president was to exert q compelling In

time required to bring about an agree

missile crashed through 3 window in the
coach next TO the presidents private
Car, May flower, aud smashed the glass
to small pieces with sufficient force to
have seriously injured or even killed any
person it bsppeued to strike. 1t Is
thought that the unknown assSilant was
waiting for the train to which the May
flower WAS attached, and either did not
know which was the Msyaower, or mis-
judged the speedof the train in the dark.
All the windows 10 the May flower were
closed st the time, and the windows of
the next coach made a good target
against the blsckness of the night. The
president and his party left the Grand
Central station here for Fort Ticonderogs
at 7:45 O'Clock this morning, the May
flower being attached to the rear OF the
regular train.
