CANTON, Ohio, Sept. 1.—To an ac- companiment of enthusiastic cheers from the large crowd that thronged the station platform, the special train bear- | ing President and Mrs. McKinley steamed out of Canton at 9 o'clock t night. The President, from the rear platform, bowed his acknowledgments for the kindly demonstration. The train goes direct to Washington, and | is due to arrive at 1 p. m. Saturday. The President assured his friends here that he had a really restful visit. Dr. Rixey expressed his belief that Mrs. McKinley is steadily recovering from her indisposition of a month or so, although her state of health while here was such that she could see but few people. While in Pittsburg she re- ceived such a shock from the continu- ous firing of cannon at the side of the car as to give her a setback for the | time being. She was able this after- however, to take a ride about the city.

The explosion occurred just as the night force was leaving and the day force was coming on duty, so that there were only a few men in the mill at the time. If it had happened half an hour later the list of dead and injured would have been | appalling. It occurred in the l4-inch de- partment and the concussion was terrific. Buildings were shaken a mile away and dust filled the air for two or three blocks. It entered open windows and nearly suf- focated persons who were aroused by the roar and the shock. Immediately following the explosion the wreckage took fire Afid this added to the | difficulties encountered in rescuing ¥e burned and mutilated victims. A fire alarm was quickly sounded and in a short time the flames were under con- trol, after which the firemen were em- ployed in searching the rulns for the dead and injured. The first two bodies were identified as those of Beavens and Matthews.

DARIEN, Ga., Sept. 1.—The trial of five | of the negro rioters began this morning. Among them are two women. Sherift Blount and his special deputy, T. A. | Bailey, who intended to carry Henry | Delagel to Savannah, but who were in timidated by the presence of the negroes and the ringing of the church bells, were called to the stand. Mr. Bailey swore that he went to the jail with the inten- | tion of assisting the Sheriff in taking the | prisoner away when he heard the be.. ring and saw the negroes gather, some with guns and all excit One of the mén now on _trial, Ja Wylly, was heard t Bailey t v that if De. lagel was taken from jail the streets of Darfen would run with blood. The most interesting feature of Sheriff Blount's testimony was that he sum- moned a number of negroes to guard the jail after the demonstration and among them was Ben Dunham, whom he had | seen in the crowd with a gun at the | height_of the tumult. Mr. Blount “ex- sained that he had placed this guard at The jail to ease the minds of the negro population. W.

OMAHA, Sept. 1L.—After a session last- ing for two days the trans-Missourl com- mittee of the Western Passenger Associa- tion concluded {ts sessions to-day. The principal matter under discussion was the question of military rates. All present agreed that the best plan that could be adopted would be on the basis of an equitable distribution of the business at a uniform rate. Such a proposition was agreed upon, but before it can become op- erative It must receive the ganction of the Missouri Pacific, Rlo Grande and West- ern, Colorado Midland and other roads which failed to have representatives pres- ent at the meeting. Another matter which was taken up has relation to the adoption of a clock ticket on certain Montana points. It seems that there has been_an extraordinary amount of scalping on Montana business, and the committee believed that the establishment of the clock ticket would put a stop to this. | LT g TRAIN HELD UP. ber Is Killed.

SAN RAFAEL, Sept. 1.—G. Canaziani, the section hand in the employ of the North Pacific Coast Railway Company whose bedy was found a mile south of Howards yesterday by the crew of the north bound train, was murdered. Positive evidence to this effect was discovered this evening by Coroner Edward Eden, who a clew that may lead to the arrest of the assassin. Were it not that the remains of Canaziani were shipped to this city for interment it is entirely probable that none but the murderer himself would ever have known that a crime had been committed, owing to the bungling work of a jury im- imnelell to hold an inquest by Coroner | Pierce of Sonoma County. . ‘When Canaziani's body was found it was hanging over a rail fence in_ plain sight | of a dwelling on the hill. It was first| taken to Howards, and afterward removed | to Occidental, where an inquest was held to-day by a jury impaneled by Coroner Pierce. he verdict was that deceased came to his death from causes unknown. The remains were then-sent to Coroner Eden for burial in Mount Olivet Ceme- tery on next Sunday. Coroner Eden made an examination of the body, and was amazed to discover that the neck had been broken and the left shoulder dislocated. Sheriff Taylor was notified of the dis- covery and telephoned a deputy at To- males to make an examination of the scene of the crime. The deputy found evi- dences of a struggle and other clews. The Sonoma authorities will be asked to co- operate, and a determined effort will be made to apprehend the murderer. F. Canaziani, a brother of the murdered man, living in this city, will render finan- clal assistance in the detection of the as- sassin.

KIDNAPER FREEMAN IS TAKEN AND HIS CAPTIVE RESCUED Consfable Blosser Captures the Fugitive Criminal in the Mountains Near Santa Maria. Pretty Thirteen-Year-0ld Mexican Girl the Culprit Stole From Her Home in Chino Is Found Doing the Chores About the Camp. ANTA BARBARA, Sept. 1.—In a desolate canyon near Santa Ma- ria, Constable Blosser found Free- man, the kidnaper, and his 13- vear-old Mexican girl captive. He had succeeded in dodging the officers of the law for some time, but was finally run down by Blosser. About three weeks ago Freeman ran away with a 13-year-old Mexican girl from Chino. He drove a small bay mare in an open buggy and led a sorrel | racehorse, whose record in Southern | California astonished all turfmen.

It was here that he made a captive of the girl. She was infatuated by his good looks, and his promise that she should become rich were she to run away with him was immediately ac- cepted. He bought another horse at Chino and, leading his sorrel horse, set | out. He started for the south, and when the authorities were notified of the disappearance of the girl they thought his intentions were to fly to Mexico, in which direction they gave chase, but he outwitted them by going in the opposite direction. He stopped at all towns and succeeded in arranging match races for different-sized purses, for which his sorrel horse was to run. At every race the purse was given to the sorrel’s owner. No matter how fast the race, the horse would win easily. This was repeated at Pomona, River- | side and all the neighboring towns. A prominent racehorse man in Pomona CRAZED BY HIS LOSS.

He passed through this city on the 22d and Wednesday was seen at Barons, about twenty-five miles north of here. Thursday he passed through San Julian Rancho and Friday was seen at Lompoc. The officers of this county were notified and gave chase on Saturday. This morning Deputy Blosser was no= tified of the appearance of a man and a Mexican girl in a buckboard, going up the canyon with other parties. Blosser followed the road and came upon the camp where he saw Freeman and the other parties, who seemed to be enjoying life. The little 13-year-old Mexican girl, whom Freeman is ac- cused of kidnaping from Chino, was with him and was doing the chores of | the camp when the officers arrived. The girl's father telegraphed to have her detained and sent home, while her kidnaper was taken to Santa Maria, and from there brought to this city on this evening's stage. MISCELLANEOUS.
