In most Instances the musical portion of the exercises were selected with regard to its appropriateness to the occasion, and those hymns of which the lamented presi- dent was known to be most fond, “Lead, Kindly Light,” “Nearer, My God, to Thee" and “Abide With Me,” formed a part of nearly every musical program. The afternoon program of the musi: fes- tival was devoted to a program of specially selected sacred compositions appropriate to the oceasion. Those churches at which memorial serv- fces were held in the morning were the First Preshyterian, First Methodist Episco- pal, Trinity Methodist Episcopal, St. Mark's English Lutheran, Kountze Memo- rial, Tenth Strect Methodist Episcopal and Emmanuel Baptist. The evening memoriai services were at Plymouth Congregational, Second Presby- terfan, Calvary Baptist, Hanscom Park Methodist Eplscopal and Seward Street Methodist Bplscopal. Musie at First Methodist. At the First Methodist Episcopal church 3 ay th rvance of M Kinley memorial day was In the service, the sermon having mo particular applica- tion to that occasion. The musical portion of the service under the direction of T. J. Kelly, orgamist and cholrmaster of the church, was particularly selected and w In every way appropriate. The pulpit was occupied by Kev. J. W. Swan, who has preached in the First church for a portion of the time“since the death of Dr. Hirst and who announced that his temporary Gutles In this city would terminate at this time. Dr. Swan In his Invocation paid a high tributo te the,memory of President McKinley in a respeotful allusion to the extmple furnished by him to his fellow men 1o his upright and religious life. In the musical' program were included tho hymns “Lead, Kindly Light” and ‘“Neare My God, to Thee,” which were favorites of President McKinley. Dr. Swan stated.to the congregation in an apologetic way that owing to the fact that he had been suffering from a severe cold and had also found it necessary to Dbe out of the city several days during the last week he had no memorial address pre- pared and would preach a plain gospel eermon. He selected for his text the words: “Ye shall receive power after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you,” and de- voted his discourse to pointing out the difference In meaning between the words “power” and ‘‘influence,” which he sajd were frequently confounded, and laying particular stress upon the infinite potency of the power roferred to in the words of his text. At the oclose of the meeting Dr. Swan took his farewell of the congregation, ex- pressing his pleasure at having made mauy agreeable acquaintances and thanking the members of the First church for their courtesy and kindness to him. , At Trinity Methodist. The McKinley memorial service at Trinity Methodist church, under the direction of the pastor, Rev. D. K. Tindall, held a large con- gregation interested. The choir had pre- pared an especial musical program, which included an antbem, ‘Jesus, These Eyes Have Never S by Schnecker, sung by the cholr; a duet, “In the Cross of Christ [ Glory,” sung by Miss Carlson and Mr. Gra- ham, and a solo, “Thy Will Be Done,” sung by Miss Carlson. The congregation sang “Lead, Kindly Light." The text of the ser- mon preached by the pa¥tor was from I Kings, 11.2: “Show thyself a man’" The speaker sald that the life of the late presi- dent showed that he had fulfilled the re- quirements of the text; that In every walk of his life he had shown himself a man— such & man as the American people are pleased to honor and ome whose memory will remain ever green {n the minds of their descendants. He dwelt at length upon the domestic life of Willlam McKinley;: his lov- ing solicitude f8r his fnvalld wife, which never showed itself deeper than when he shot, when his first thought was not for himself, but for ber, and he requested those near bim to “‘break the news gently to Mrs MeKin Referring to the late president as a states- man, and touching Mghtly upon the expan- sion policy, Mr. Tindall sald the people be- Mleved him slow to go to war, but when war was brought upon the country he stood ever for the policies which would bring the war to a speedy end to the best interests of ull concerned. The United States has a good thing, and it is lts duty to carry it to all the world, especially to the half-civilized nations of the world. In the best sense Jesus Christ was an expansionist. McKin- ley was a falthful Christian from an early age, and that this was & key to his success, if not the only reason for it. He was, at home or abroad, always found in the church at its services and was & liberal giver, dolng all that be could to advance the kingdom of God upon earth. A large number of old soldiers were in the congregation. At St Mark's Luthe, At St. Mark's English Lutheran church Rev. Leonard Grob, the pastor, preached the memorial rermon. His text was He brews vi:12, reading: “Let us not be sloth- ful, but In patience and faith be followers of those who have already inherited the promise; “This is the doctrine of imitation,” sald the pastor. “It teaches us that we should imitate those who hay, srandeur of Coplsifenily, who have e bodied the prineiples pf Christ iu thelr ABLISHED JI'VA\i E of the death of William McKinley, | accomplished the 1 i 9, 1871.

CHICAGO, Sept. 14.—Chicago paid an im- | pressive tribute to the memory of Willlam | McKinley. Throughout the city from plat- |form and pulpit, men of all nationalities | and all wreeds lauded the life and deeds of | |the martyred president. Musical services |arranged especially for the occasion added |in a considerable degree to the impression made by prayer and oratory. The princi- pal meeting was held in the afternoon at the First M. E. church, where speakers of na- tional reputation foined in giving expres- sion to their esteem for the character and lite work of the late president. The church was crowded to the doors, and hundreds were unable to secure entrance. The prin- cipal speaker at the meeting was Bishop Fallows, who sald, in part: “The anarchy which knows no govern- ment and destroys, rather than unlifts, was responsible for the death of President Mc- Kinley a year ago. We also have an an- archism of wealth, which is used, not for the welfare of mankind, but for its injury and oppression. The way to suppress an- archy is to keep in mind the sentiments of President McKinley and practice reciproe- ity at home first, and then abroad. Let there be reciprocity between capital and labor and a recognition of mutual rights. Let rights be given to employes as Ameri- | can citizens. What a spectacle is made when a conflict between capltal and labor, men say: ‘There Is nothing to arbitrate.’ Such action is akin to lawlessness. If we carry out President McKinley's idea of Christian reciprocity, however, all will be well.” Among the other speakers were Dr. W. A. Waterman of Terre Haute, Ind., and Dr. Milburn, a brother of John C. Milburn of Buffalo, at whose Buffalo house President McKinley dled. At New York Churches.

His favorite hymns were used. The address that attracted most attention here was that given by Judge Willlam R. Day, McKinley's secretary of state, and a friend | and adviser of McKinley for years. The address was delivered in the First Meth- odist Episcopal church, of which McKinley was a member. A portrait of the late pres- ident, around which were the folds of the Stars and Stripes, emblematic of his patri- otle spirit, was displayed. In the Catholic church a special mass was sald and some of the priests made refer- ences to McKinley, they having known him personally. Although deeply consclous of the fact that just one year ago her beloved husband died, Mrs. McKinley did not vary the program followed by her for several months. All days to her have been memorial days. Her usual trip to West Lawn cemetery was taken this forenoon and she laid love's offering of | flowers on the casket that contains the re- mains of the nation's martyred chief. Mrs. Garrett A. Hobart, who is her guest, went with her into the McKinley tomb, and also laid & bouquet of flowers on the coffin. “Their drive took them to the McKinley family burial lots, where bouquets were lald by Mrs. McKinley's direction. During the day there were many visitors at the McKinley vault. Judge Day's Address. Judge Day's tribute to his martyred chiet was, in part, as follows: “This tragedy which fills our hearts with grief has a les- son for the living, and calls upon the law- makers to enforce laws for the suppression and punishment of those who teach or prac- tice the dreadful tenets of this code of law- lessness and ruin.” Referring to the early life of McKinley he sald: “From the high school he heard the call of his country to her sons and at once stepped into the ranks as a defender of the union. His associates in arms, offi- cers in hie regiment, included such lawyers as Hayes and Matthews and their com- While a valiant soldler he determined to adopt the legal profession as his calling should he survive the perils ot Tried to Evade the War, Referring to the Spanish-American war Judge Day said: “He determined to do all within his official duties to benefit the Cu- ban people, to relieve the strain on our people, and if possible to accomplish these ends without an appeal to arms. These purposes are the key to-his Cuban policy steadily pursued, with much accomplished when the unlooked for happemed in the treacherous anchoring of the Maine, by which she became the easy prey of ma- liclous persons bent on her destruction. The president felt he could not look upon a peaceful settlement which did not involve the withdrawa] of Spain from this continent, and he promptly advised our minister at Madrid that only such a settlement would be satisfactory.” Beauty of His Life, “Willlam McKinley never consciously wronged a fellow being,” sald Judge Day. “It was his rule not only to refrain from inflicting pain, but to scatter joy wherever he could. He would step aside from a march of retreat to assure a weeping mother who loved the union, that defeat was but for a day and would be turned into victory. Steadfast in his friendship, he would not swerve from loyalty for the glittering price of the presidency. Enduring the burdens which came before, during and after the wer, no word of impatience ever escaped him and he met the people with a smile ot welcome and a word of encouragement. He would turn from the most important af- fairs of state to give a flower to a little child, or to say & kindly word to some visitor for whom he could do no more. Re- sentments he had none. He belleved lite was took short to give any of his time to cherishing animosity. Sensitive to criti- clsm, no one ever heard him utter an un- kind word of another. He met calumny with silence and unfair criticism with char- Ity, his presence was sunshine, never gloom, an encouraging word dispelled doubt. In conclusion the speaker said: “If the youth of the country learn from his lite that the surest foundation of success is up- right character and that the path of duty is indeed the way to glory then indeed this great life: SAYS ROOSEVELT IS CALLED Rector at Oyster Bay Preaches Ser- mon Directly Polnting to the nt. OYSTER BAY, L. L, Sept. 14.—Rev. Homer Washburn, rector of Christ Episcopal church in the presence of President Roose- velt and his family and a congregation that filled the church to overflowing, preached a sermon in which he devoted considerable attention to “possibility of danger coming by and through the unguarded use of great th concentrated In the hands of ' and of which he also stated that * ever circumstances Indicated that one was placed providentially in the executive chair of the nation, then the circumstances that attended the promotion of Mr. Roosevelt 50 indicated.” Today was the first anni- versary of the death of President McKinley and the president had requested Mr. Wash- burn to hold memorial services. The an- nouncement that this would be done and that President Roosevelt would be present, served to draw a large crowd to Christ cburch, which the president attends while here. The first part of the rector's sermon was devoted to an eulogy upon the life and character of the and to this the president listened atten- tively. But when in the second part of the sermon Mr. Washburn took occaslon to speak of the possibility of danger coming certain trusts, and also to laud the president, Mr. Roosevelt grew restless, his face colored and he plainly showed signs of disapproval of the rector's utter- ances. At the conclusion of the sermon he turned to Mrs. Roosevelt, who sat beside bim and whispered “He should not have done that After the services the president stated that he had requested Mr. Washburn to bold memorial services, but that he had no knowledge of what the sermon contained nor had he any intimation that he would refer to trusts or to himself. Mr. Wash- burn also stated that he had prepared the sermon without consulting any members of llla presideat’s tamily, martyred McKinley | NEITHER SIDE IS WEAKENING Both the Miners Operators Strong to All Owtward Appen Are nee. SHENANDOAH, Pa., Sept. 14.—Tomorrow | will begin the mineteenth week of: the strike. | The time in which Senator Platt predicied |that the strike would end has passed, and the feeling here is that the' ehd is still far off. The reiteration by tie coal presi- dents during the week that mo concessions would be made and the resolutions passed by nearly all the local unions of the mine workers, renewing their allegiance to their officers and pledging to continue the strike untll concessions are granted, show that neither side to the controversy is weaken- ing. General Gobin, in charge of the state troops, encamped in this county, denies | that he is preparing to remove the troops at an early date, or that he expects an or- der from the governor to withdraw the troops. He does not anticipate an order of that kind until there is a settlement of the strike. TAMAQUA, Pa., Sept. 14—By the acel- dental discharge of a Winchester rifie in the hands of Hugh Black, a deputy at the Lehigh Coal and Navigation cémpany’s No. 4 stockade, near Nesquehoning, last night, Paul Haulick, a nonunion man, was killed. The bullet passed through his left lung, coming out of his back. Corener Fehler of Nesquehoning held an inquest today. A | verdict of accidental death was rendered. Last night a Hungarian, who gave his name as John Kausha, appealed to the offi- cer in command of the troops at Manila for protection. The man was bleeding from {a number of severe cuts om the head and body. He sald he was walking along the road leading from Coaldale to Lansford when he was assaulted by a number of his own countrymen. The man's wounds were dressed at the camp, and he was escorted to his home. NEW YORK. Sept. 14.—~The entire con- gregation of the First Union Presbyterian church of this city ton'ght at services voted on and adopted a resolution calling on the coal operatore and miners to end the strike. The resolntion reads in part: We demand o recogrition of the Tighis OF the communicy and we earnestly request fn: the interest of the general welfare {hit they at once endeavor to adjust their differences and we recommend that If they are umable to come to Any agreement among themselves they submit the matter for final and adjustment by arbitration., e In his sermon on “Christ and the Re- ligion of the People,” Rev. George Lor- imer, pastor of the Madison Avenue Bap- tist church, discussed the coal strike. Tho refusal of the operators to listen to arbi- tration, Dr. Lorimer said, would awaken the people to speedy action. Rev. Walter Bentley In All Souls’ church talked on the etrike subject and he thought President Roosevelt ought to act.

KEEPS HER CAPTIVE SEVERAL HOURS Citizens Turn Out and Now Have Him Surrounded im & Cornfleld— Threatens to Em Harry Traey. STANTON, Neb., Sept. 14.—(Special Tel- egram.)—The city of Stanton is intensely excited over a sensational abduction which occurred last night and a large posse of citizens under the lead of the sheriff is now engaged in a manhunt which has every indication of terminating In a tragedy. Anna Villawa, a young woman employed as a domestic in the family of W. S. near the city, was the victim. She was sleeping in an upstairs room of the Borner home, with a little daughter of her employer. About 12 o'clock last night she was awakemed by the presence of someone in her room. It was speedily made apparent to her that the visitor was Lowrey Welch, a young man who was smit- ten with her, but whom she had refused to marry. Welch had placed a ladder to the window and entered the room. Welch commanded her to dress imme- dlately and accompany him. She protested, but he emphasized his command with a revolver and also told her that he would blow her brains out if she made any out- ery. The little Borner girl was awakened by the conversation and Welch speedily silenced her by threatening it she made any fuss to kil her, Miss Villawa and the little girl's father. Frightened out of her wits the lit- tleone cuddled up in bed and did not dare to ralse the alarm until called this morn- ing by her father. Carried Her Down Ladder. In obedience to Welch's command Miss Villawa dressed and Welch carried her down the ladder, and this was the last seen of her until 1 o'clock this afternoon, when she staggered into the home of her brother, two miles southeast of Stanton. She fainted im- mediately on reaching the house, but was soon revived suffictently to tell of the oc- currences of the night and forenoon, though prostrated from excitement and the treat- ment she had been subjected to. After leaving the Borner home, she stated, Welch had taken her out over the country, threatening to kill her if she raised any alarm or attempted to escape. She had no opportunity to gei away from Welch until about noon, when in the pas- ture of James Brown. While in there Brown came near them and Welch, fearing they had been seen and were pursued, gave her the clance she had been looking for and she fled, never stopping until reaching the be put to work tomorrow at the collieries which resumed operation last week, and that probably one or two more of the mines would be started up. ' Superintend- ent Barnard fears that the increased nc- tivity at the mines may oause interfer- ence on the part of outsiw:parties and he requests the sheriff to furnish ample pro- tection for the workmen, Sherift Jacobs says he does mot expect an outbreak, but will have a large force of deputies at hand to send any place in the region where trouble should occur. President Mitchell says nothing with re- gard to the conference at Harrisburg. There 18 no change in the strike situation. Rallway Brotherhoods Unite to Bring About a Closer Fraternal Feeling. TRENTON, N. J., Sept. 14.—Two union meetings were held here today by the com- bined organizations of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, Brotherhood of Fire- men, Brotherhood of Tralnmen, Order of Railway Telegraphers, and Order of Rail- way Conductors. There were present about 500 delegates from New Jersey and Penn- sylvania. The meeting in the morning was secrét and in the afternoon public. The purpose of the secret meeting was to es- tablish closer relations between these or- ganizations, and that of the afternoon was to interest the public in organized labor. A collection for the miners was taken at both sessions, and several hundred dollars was realized. ADMIRES THE GERMAN Major Gener peror's ARMY Corbin Praises the Em- Military Organ tion in Warm Terms, BERLIN, Sept. 4.—Major General Henry €. Corbin, who, together with Major Gen- eral Samuel B. M. Young and Brigadier General Leonard Wood, attended the Ger- man army maneuvers near Frankfurt-on- the-Oder last week, gave out a statement before he left for Dusseldorf, denying what purported to be an interview with him, in which he was represented as unfavor- ably criticising the German Infantry. In this statement General Corbin said: “My companions and I have reached the iciton that the German army in every ect, but particularly in organization, in- struction, discipline and equipment is among the best In existence, If not the best. “The army excited the admiration of all of the American officers who witnessed the maneuvers and we shall never forget the many marks of distinction and courtesy | bestowed upon us by Emperor Willlam and bis ofcers.” HEAVY STORMS IN GERWMANY Damage Estimated nat Marks Done by W " BERLIN, Sept. 14.—Destructive storms | raged in many parts of Germany yesterday. | In Saxony the temperature sank to zero | and a hurricane-like wind unroofed many | houses and injured a large number of | people.

BELGIUM'S QUEEN IS DYING Her Condition Reported Hopeless a; Her K Haste: Her Side. BRUSSELS, Sept. 14.—The Soler says the condition of Marle Henrietta, queen of the Belgians, is hopeless, and that Kiog Leo- pold will be obliged to shorten his visit at Bagneres, France. Marle Henrietta has long been ill with » malady of the heart. She is at Spa, and it was reported from there last Friday that e Milllons nd and storm visited home of her brother. Brown, in fact, had not seen the couple and was not searching for them. When the alarm was raised by the Bor- ners in the morning the farmers in the rhood armed themselves and joined in_the chase, Word was sent te town. and people from Stanton also participated. The first seen of Welch was by two of the search- ing party about four miles southeast of Stanton. It was then the middle of the aft- ernoon. They sent a boy for assistance and made an effort to keep in sight of Weich, who was armed with a gun in addition to the revolver he had displayed at the Bor- ner home. They kept on Welch's trall, and several shots were exchanged between Welch and his pursuers, none of which took effect. Chase Welch Into Cornfield. Others joined them and they forced Welch to head toward town. The last seen of him was just before dark when he en- tered a large cornfield, just across the river from Stanton. The sheriff and a posse made an e fort to surround the fleld, but there was not sufficient force at hand to complete the circuit at once, but it is thought Welch is still there and will be captured in the morning. While Miss Villawa was with him he showed her his gun, revolver and a plenti- ful supply of ammunition and made his brags that In case any posse came after him he would show, that the famed Harry Tracy was not in it with him. The citi- zens are also amply armed and thoroughly aroused and unless Welch weakens there will surely be bloody work when they come together. Welch was in Stanton Saturday and had been drinking considerable. The Lincoln bloodhounds will be here in the morning and will be put on the trall. Miss Villawa is seriously ill as the re- sult of her experience and her brother re- fuses to allow her to see any one and little has leaked out concerning what occurred while she was with Welch, but enough has leaked out to make it plain she was shametully mistreated, She will probably be sufficiently recovered by tomorrow to permit of her telling the whole story. COUNTESS MARTINI IS HELD Wife of Murdered Itallan Noble Charged with Complicity in His Assassination. ROME, Sept. 14.—Countess Bon Martini, wife of Count Bon Martini, who was assas- sinated at Bologna by Tulllo Murri, his brother-in-law, bas been arrested on a charge of complicity In the murder of her husband.

This is the result of an autopsy over the body of Earl Caldwell, the Union Pacific machinist, killed near the shopyards Sun- day night, as given out by Dr. W, R. Lav- ender yesterday afternoon. It was also reported that decedent's skull was slightly fructured at the base and his right eye wad blackened, and above the eye was a straight cut. An inquest will be held this afternoon at 2 o'clock. As a result of the murder of Caldwell, which occurred at Twelfth and Cass streets between 12:30 and 1 o'clock Sunday morn- ing, nine men are under arrest at the city Jail, two of whom are employes on Unfon Pacific contract work and are regarded as leaders in the fray which preceded Cald- well's untimely death. Other arrests are expected to follow as a result of state- ments made to the police by the nine men now in custody. Each has, upon brief ex- amination, submitted what purports to be his knowledge of the tragedy, and the police believe that with one exception, the state- ments are substantially correct. All wit- nesses agree that there were six men in the party. Some Incriminating Testimony. No self-confession or implication of as- soclates has as yet been made, though some incriminating testimony is in hand as a result of the investigations. John Spell- man confesses that he walked up to Cald- well, dealt him a blow which knoaked him into the gutter and then followed that blow with two otifers, while his man was lylng in the gutter. According to the testi- mony of Spellman and Ball, Caldwell's companion, Caldwell was unmercifully and brutally beaten and stamped. Not con- tent with knocking him down Ball says that several of the crowd jumped on Cald- well and kicked him all over his head and body. Ball heard his companion groan and ery, but was unable to reach him, as others of the party stood in the way. Ball im- plicates Charles Pospisil as one of the as- sallants of Caldwell, saying he was pos! tive of his identification of Pospisil. The police are of the opinion that Caldwell' slayer is in the group of prisoners and it is he whose story is doubted. Further and more conclusive evidence than has yet been adduced will be required, however, to prove this point. Names of Prisoners. The men under this ban of suspicion is Michael Spellman, a former bofler makers' helper in the Union Pacific ehops, now a striker, He lives at 1113 North Seventeenth street. The other men who have been ar- restgd are his son, John Spellman, & laborer on the Union fic shops and was formerly a bartender at McKenna Bros.' saloon at Seventeenth and Nicholas streets; Jack Me- Kenna, also employed on the new Union acific shops, and a brother of F. B, and W. H. McKenna, proprietors of the ealoon; Charles Pospisil, 504 Poppleton avenue, & former blacksmith In the Union Pacific shops; John Kerrigan, 1628 Burt street, blacksmith helper; George L. Perkins, 1842 North Nineteenth street; Ray Chadwick, Rudolph Lindberg, &ud John Gordonm, 1925 South Thirteenth street, Stenographic reports have been made of | the statement of each man, including one by M. W. Ball, the injured companion of Caldwell, who, with Caldwell, had left the shops for a brief visit to the city and was death. From these statements, which are remark- able for their uniformity as to the essential facts, this story of the fatal deed is gath- ered: Story of the Assault. Caldwell and Ball had been over in town on & leave of absence from the shops, where they had been at work but a short time. As they arrived at Twelfth and Cass streets on their return they were accosted by a crowd of men who inguired their identity and their. business. The non- unionists replied they were working {n the Union Pacific shops, but that they had only been there about four days and were then on their way to get their clothing and luggage In order to leave the company’s employ. They told the men who stopped them that they wanted no trouble. Jack McKenna, stepping out from the group of men, invited Caldwell and Ball to go with him to his room, assuring them it was a pleasant and comfortable one, and not re- turn to the shops. But as their clothes and other effects were in the shops the pair insisted they must return. At this juncture the tragedy wi precipitated by John Spellman, who, according to his own statemont, dealt Caldwell a blow on the jaw which knocked him to the ground. One report says that Caldwell was never again on his feet until placed there by Ball and & guard from the Unian Pacific yards, but young Spellman says he got up and ran toward the yards. At any ®ate, when the encounter was over Caldwell'was eov- ered with blood and was jnsensible. Chadwick's Sensational Charge. Ray Chadwick fs the author of the sen- sational charge that following the Initial blow dealt by his son John, Michael Spell- man finished Caldwell by the ald of a club, which he is said to have wielded with both hands. The elder Spellman denies this and informs the police that about the time Caldwell was first struck someone hit him (Spellman) and that he “never come to, but laid in the gutter” until the battle was over. He professes to be ignopdnt of everything that occurred after the fight was started. None of the other nine of- fered any testimony to substantiate that of Spellman’s and they eay they did mot see him knocked or lying down As to the club the police whre unable to find any on the scene of confiet, but say that Mike Spellman had a broom han- dle in his possession when arrested. There were no firearms brought into service, but @ pair of brass knuckles is said to have been found upon one of the men While Caldwell was being pelted with blows that caueed his death, his compan- ion, Ball, & stalwart tellow, was assalled
