President McKinley Shot and Painfully Wounded by au Anarchist at the Pan-American Exposition-The As sailant Arrested-The President Will ItecoYcr. BUFFALO, September u1.-Just a brief twenty-four hours ago tho newspaper* of tho city blazoned forth in nil tho pomp of headline type: "The Proudest Day in Huflhlo's History." To-night in sombre type, surrounded by grewseme borders of black, tho same newspapers are telling in funeral tones to a horrified populace tho de plorable details of "Tho Blackest Day in the History of B?llalo." President McKinley, the idol of tho American people, the nation's Chief Executive, and tho city's honored guest, lies pros trate, suffering the pangs inflicted by tho bullets of a cowardly assassin, while his lifo hangs in the balance. Out on Delaware avenue, at the homo of John G. Milburn, president of tho Pan-Americau Exposition, with tear ful face and heart torn by conflicting hopes and team, sits the faithful wife, whose dovotion is kuown to all the nation. It was a few moments after 4 p. m., while President McKinley was holding a public reception in the great Templo I of Music on tho Pan-American grounds, that the cowtgfUy attack was made, I with what success time' alono can tell. Standing in the midst of crowds numbering thousands, surrounded by every evidence of good will, pressed by a motly throng of people, showered with expressions of love and loyalty, besieged by multitudes ull eager to clasp his hand, amid these surround ings and with the ever recurring plau dits of an admiring army of sight seers ringing in his ears, the blow of the assassin fell, and in an instant pleasure gave way to pain, admiration to agony, folly turned to fury and pandemonium followed. To-night a surging, swaying, eager multitude throngs the city's main thoroughfares, choking the streets in front of the principal newspapers, scanning the bulletins with anxious eyes ana groaning or cheering in turn each succeeding announcement as the nature of the message sinks or buoys their hopes. Down at police headquarters, sur rounded by stern-faced inquisitors of the law, sits a medium-sim! man, of commonplace appearance? with his f:a/.e directed on the floor, who presses ips firmly together and listens with an air of assumed indifference to tho per sistent stream of questions, arguments, objurgations and admonitions with which his captors seek to induce or compel him to talk. The daily organ recital in the splen did Temple of Music witnessed tho dastardly attempt. Planned with the diabolical ingenuity and finesse of which anarchy or Nihil ism is capable, the would-be assassin carried out the work without n hitch, and should his designs foil and the President survive only to Divine Providence can bo attributed that beneficent result. ^he President, though well guarded by United States ?q$ret service detec tives, was fully, exposed to such nn attack as occurred. He stood at the edge of the raised dnia, upon which utanda the great pipo organ, at the east side of the magnificent structure. Throngs of people crowded in, to gaze upon their Executive, 'perchance to clasp his hand, and then fight their way out in tho good-natured mob that every minute swelled and multiplied at the points of ingress and egress to tho building. Tho President was in a cheerful mood and was enjoying to the full the hearty evidences ot good will which everywhere met his gaze. Upon his right stood John G. Milburn, of Buffalo, president of the Pan-Ameri can Exposition, chatting with the President and introducing to uin especially persons of note vho ??T<: proa ched. Upon the President's 7 oft stood Mr. Cortelyou. ? It was shortly after 4 p. m. when ono of tho throng which surrounded the Prcsiuuminl party, a medium-sized man, of ordinary appearance and plain ly dresecd in black, approached us if to greet tho President . Both Secretary Cortelyou and President Milburn no ticed that the man's hand was swathed in a bandage or handkerchief. Reports Df bystanders ditter as to his li and. He worked bia way amid tho stream of Bcopie up to the edge of the dais until e was within two feet of the Presi dent. Mr. McKinley smiled, bowed and extended his band in that spirit of geniality the Americans so well know, when suddenly the sharp crack of a revolver rang out loud and clear above the hum of voices, the shuffling of myriad feet and vibrating waves of applause that ever and anon swept here and there over the assemblage. There was an instant of almost com plete silence. The President stood jtock stili, a look of hesitancy, almost 3f bewilderment, on his face. Then he retreated a st?p, while a pallor began to steal over his features. The multi tude? only partially aware that some thing serious had happened, paused in surprise, while necks were craned und Ul eyes turned as one toward the ros ;rum, where a great tragedy was being jnacted. Then came a commotion. With tho enp of a tiger three men threw them selves forward as with one impulso ind sprang toward the would-be assas sin. Two of them were United States secret service men. who were on the mtlook and whose duty it was to guard wreiuai. j sst such a calnmity as had ?ere befalltn the. President and the lation. The third was a bystander, a legro, who had on)/ an instant pre ciously grasped in UIB dusky prim the land ot the President? As one man ho trio hurled themselves upon, the President's assailant. In a twinkling ie was borne to the ground, his weapon ras wrested from his grasp and strong sr mo pinioned him down. Then the multitude which thronged he edifice began to come to a realizing mi QA of the aw?a?n^pf tho scene ot vhich thoy hau bvjn unwilling wit leases } - A murmur arosei^r-ead and swelled o a hum of conftHLu, then grow to a ?abel of aonnda and later to a pando uonium of noir -a. The crowds, that a moment before lad stood mute and motionless as in >ewildeted ignorance of the enormity >f the thing, now with a singlo impulse urged forward toward tho stage of tho torrid drama, while a hoarse cry welled ip from a thousand throats, and n thousand men charged forward to ' ly 4 hands upon the perpetrator of the das- , tardly crime. Fora moment confusion was terri- < ble. Tho crowd surged forward re gardless of consequences. Men shout- 1 ed and fought, women screamed and children cried. Somo of those nearest ? the doors lied from tho cditice in fear of a stampede, while hundreds of others from the outside struggled blindly forwnrd in the elfort to pcuotrato tho crowded huildiug, and solve the mys tery of excitement amt panic which every moment grow nnd swelled within tho congested interior of the cditice. Insido on tho slightly rnised dais was enacted within those few feverish mo ments a tragedy so dramatic in charac ! ter, so thrilling in itu ""tensity that few who looked on will ever bo able to give an account of what really did transpiro. Even tho actors who were playing tho principal rolo came, out of it with blanched faces, trembling limbs : and beating hearts, while their brains ! throbbed with n tumult of conflicting I emotions which could not be clarified into a lucid narrative of tho events ns they really transpired. But of the multitude which witness ed or bore part in the scene of turmoil and confusion there was but one mind which seemed to retain its equilibrium, one hand which remained steady, one oyo which gazed with uutliching calm ness, and ono voico which retained its even tenor and faltered not at the most critical juncture. Thoy were the mind and tho hand and tho eye and tho voice of President McKinley. After tho lirst shock of tho assassin's shots ho retreated a stop, then, as the detectives leaped upon his assailant, he turned, walked steadily to a chair and seated himself, at the same time removing his hat and bow ing his head in his hands. . In an instant Secretary Cortelyou and President Milburn were at hi? side. His waistcoat was hurriedly opened, the President meanwhile ad monishing those about him to remain calm and telling them not to be alarm ed. "But you are wounded/' cried his secretary, "let me examine." "No, I think not," answered the President. "1 nm uot badly hurt, ? assure yon." Nevertheless his outer gnrments were hastily loosened and when a trickling stream of crimson wns seen to wind, its way down his breast, spreading its telltale stains over the white surface of the linen, the worst of fears were confirmed. A force of Exposition guards were on tho scene by this time and nn effort was made to clear the building. Hy this time the crush was terrific. Spec tators crowded down tho stairway from the galleries, the crowd on thc floor surged forward toward tho ros trum while despite the strenuous efforts of police and gunrds the throng without struggled madly to obtain ad missior. Tho President's nsBailant in thc meantime had been hustled to tho reai of the building by Exposition guards, where he was held while the building i was cleaved and Inter ho was turnee over to Superintendent Bull, of thc Buffalo police department, who tool the prisoner to No. 10 police statior and afterward to police headquarters As soon as the crowd in tho Temple ol Music had been dispersed miitieientlj the President was removed in tin automobile ambulance and taken t< the Exposition hospital, where an ex ftmination was made. The beal medi cal skill was summoned and within i brief period several of Buffalo's bes known practitioners were nt the pa tien t'a sido. t The President retained the full exer eise of his faculties until placed on thi operating table and subjected to ai anaesthetic. Upon the first oxamina tion it was ascertained that one bulle had taken effect in tho right breas juBt below the nipple, causing a com parntively harmless wound. The other took effect in the abdomen about four inches below the left nipple four inches to tho left of thc naval am about on a level with it. Upon arrival at the Exposition h6s pita! tho second bullet wound wa probed. The walls of the abdomei were opened, but tho ball was no located. Tho incision was hastil; closed, and nftor a hasty consul tntio: it wns decided to remove tho patient t the home of President Milburn. Thi was done, tho automobile ambulanc being used for tho purpose. Arrivci nt tho Milburn residence all .person outside tho medical attendants, nurse and the ollicinls immediately concern ed were excluded, und the task of prob ing for the bullet which lind lodged i tho abdomen was begun by Dr. ltoswel Parka. At 8.?J0 tho representative of the A? sedated Press was admitted to th Milburn residence where Secretar Cortelyou gave him tho official bulle tin prepared by the physicians. While the wounded President wa being borne from the Exposition to th Milburn residence between rows c onlookers with bared heads, a far dit feront spectacle was being witnesse along the route of his assailant's joui ney from the scene of his crime t police headquarters. Tho trip wn made so quickly that tho prisoner wu safely landed within tho wide portal of the police station and tho dooi closed before any ono was aware of hi presence. The news of tho attempted assassi nation had in tho meanwhile bee spread broadcast by tho newspaper.' Eiko wildfire it spread from mouth t mouth. Then bulletins began to n] pear on the bonrds ulong Newspnp? Kow, nnd when tho announcement wii made that tho prisoner had.boon take to police headquarters, oniy two bloci distant from tho newspaper scctioi tho crowds surged down toward til terrace cager for a glimpse of tho prit oner. At police headquarters thc were met by a strong cordon of polio which was drawn up across the pav< ment on Pearl street, and admit tam wns denied to any but officials author zed to take part in the examination ( the prisoner. In a few minutes the crowd ha grown from tens to hundreds an these in turn quickly swelled to thom ands until tho street was complete! blocked with a mass of humanity, waa at this juncture that eoiue OI raised the cry of "Lynch him!" Lil s flash the cry was taken up and tl whole crowd, as if ignited by the sii gie match thus applied, re-echoed tl ory, "Lynch him!" "Hanghim!" Clo* the crowds surged forward. Den? the throng became as now arriva swelled each moment tho swayir. multitude. The situation waa becon ing critical when suddenly tho b doors wore flung open and a squad i reserves arrived with solid front, dnu the crowd back from the curb, thi across the street, and then gradual mecceded in dispersing them from il ?out tho entrance to the station. By this time thero was probably 50, XX) people assembled in the vicinity of '?earl, Seneca, Erie streets and the I errace. Tho ero vd was so great that t became necessary to rope off the intire street in front of police head luarters and a late hour to-night tho police were still patrolling in the itreets in the neighborhood in squads of three or four. Inside the station aouso wero assembled District Attor ney Penny, Superintendent of Polico [Juli, Capt Reagan, of tho 1st precinct, md other otlicials. Tho prisoner nt lirst proved quito communicative, so much in tact that little dependence could ho placed on tvhat he said. He ii rat gave his name is Fred Nieman, said his homo was in Detroit, and that he hud been in Buffa lo about a week. He said ho had been boarding nt a place in Broadway.' Later this pince was located aa John Nowark's saloon, a Kaines law hotel, No. 1,078 Broadway. Hero tho pris oner occupied Room 8. Nowark, the proprietor, said he knew very little about his guest. Ho carno there, he declared, last Saturday, saying he had come to see the Pan-American and that his homo was in Toledo. He had been alone at all times about Nowark's placo and had had no visitors. In his room was found a small traveling bag of cheap make. It contained an empty cartridge box and a few clothes. With the?o facts in hand the police went nt the prisoner with renewed vigor in the eliott to obtain either a full confession or a straight acount of his identity and movements prior to his arrival in Buf falo. He at first admitted that he was Ein Anarchist in sympathy at least, but ienied strenuously that tho attempt on the life of the President was tho result of a preconcerted design on the part of an Anarchist society. At times he was defiant and again indifferent. But at no time did he betray the re motest sign of remorse. He declared the deed was not premeditated, but in the same breath refused to say why it was prepetrated. When charged by the district attorney with being the in strument of an organized band of con spirators he protested vehemently that ho never even thought of perpetrating the crime until this morning.. After long and persistent questioning it was announced at police headquarters that the prisoner>had made a partial con fession, which he had signed. THE LATEST. BUFFALO, SEPT. 10, 7 p. m.-The President will live, but will probably carry tho bullet of tho would-be assas sin with him to the grave. This is the expressed opinion of Dr. McBurney, of Now York, in a statement to a repre sentative of tho Associated Press after the consultation of physicians this morning. ^ He announced that the president had passed the danger point and now only the possibility of complications remain - od. He also announced that unless the bullet embedded in tho muscles of the back caused trouble there would bo no necessity for extracting it. m In Memoriam. As the sun filled this dork earth with brightness on the morning of the 28th of August a haDnv home was filled with gloom and darkness almost to lespair as the quiet, gentle spirit of our beloved friend. Mrs. Matilda W. Lee, winged its flight to Him who loved her Detter thnn we. . This unexpected death caused even drangers to say, "how sad," made the icquaintance and friends say, "why iva? she taken, one who seemed to be seeded so much in this life,'! and her family to feel-this other break in their ranks as another falls-grief stricken, and then in that inner circle, lie home, what a shock, the devoted insband crushed and heart-broken .vith tho little motherless children who teem so utterly alone in the world, loving hands of her family adminis ;ered so tenderly to every want, striv ng iu vain to stay tho advance of the jr.im destroyer.

Tho ame pastor, who had buried her a baptism into membership of Salem lantisc Church, 18 years before, is now ailed upon to administer words of onsolntion at her funeral on the after loon of the :50th of August, 1001. Possessing a line mind, in youth sho ook advantage of nil opportunities to cvelop her mental powers, thus (itt ing er to bo a greater power in her phere in life. Mrs. Lee was a woman f strong convictions, quick to discern ight from wrong, and having decided >ns strong to stand hy them. A line onversatiounlist, always entering into he thoughts and plans of tho young or making life better and happier, laving become a diligent student of lod's Word, she had grown and de elopcd into all those graces which hnractcri/cs one lilied by tho Spirit, (ow it shone out in her life; generous o tho poor and needy, kind to tho rieudless, helping nuy who were strag ling from the paths of right, by her >ving words and acts she has helped lany; truly her life was one of unBcl Bhness. At peace with all mankind, having >rgiven all, her heart was full of love > every one. Carrying out to its full leaning the two great commandments hieb Christ gave: Love God suprerue ' and your neighbor ns yoursolf. Those prayer is that her family who ie-thus passing over will nil bo reim i - id on the other shore.
