Formerly Lived in Detroit,
Leon Was Born.
Detroit, Sept. 10.—From 1874 to 187a
the family of Leon Czolgosz, the assail
ant of President McKinley, lived in De-
triot, and former residents assert that
Leon was born here in the summer of
1874. A search of old city directories
resulted in locating the Czolgosz fami
ly at 141 Benton street in 1874.
Inquiry in this neighborhood devel
oped several people who had known the
family. J. J. Lorkowski, a prominent
Polish saloonkeeper, lived across the
street from the Czolgosz family and
knew the father welL Ke is sure that
the boy Leon was born in the Benton
street house in 1874.
Lorkowski says that the Czolgosz fam
ily moved to Posen, Mich., near Alpena,
in 1S75, going later to Alpena. If this
information is correct Leon Czolgosz is
27 years of age, instead of 28, as he as
serts. When this was pointed out to
Lorkowski, who is a very intelligent
man, he said that many Polish boys did
not know their age and he presumed
Czolgosz was not sure of his.
If Leon was born in Alpena, as has
been thought, he is not over 26 years of
age, as the family did not move there
until 1876.

Milburn House, Buffalo, Sept. 10.—
Again what may be termed a crisis
night, the fourth since the dastardly at.
tempt on the life of President McKin-
ley, has passed and without a single
symptom unfavorable to the president’s
recovery. In fact, the tone of the fir?!
bulletin this morning was most cheer,
fully worded, rejoicing that the aistin.
guished patient had been mere comfort
able during the night than any previous
period since he was wounded. Both
pulse and temperature are a trifle higher
man yesterday morning, but so little as
to cause no worry and, in fact, rather
co give encouragement by the slight
ness of the change of condition.
The weather conditions of the day
were anything but cheerful during the
early hours, and the auil skies and
drizzling rain gave an outward appear
ance of gloom and depression. The
forecast was for showers and an east
wind, but the realization was worse
thau the prophecy.
For the first time since the shooting
the sun was hidden by heavy clouds.
The tracing air that has lent such com
fort to the patient thus far, gave way tc
the chill aud muggy wind from the
east. For a time the rain peited the
military guards aud trickled down
their guns. But these more inclement
conditions passed away by 8 o’clock:
the rain stopped, but the dark skies and
soggy grounds remained.
Result of Conference.
The results of the morning conference
were known about 9 o'clock, as the doc
tors came from the house. The faces of
the doctors clearly showed their satis
faction with affairs. As Dr. Roswell
Park came to his carriage he paused
long enough to give a general survey of
the conditions prevailing.
•‘The condition of the president this
morning is entirely satisfactory,” said
he. “The president spent the most
of his removal?
“No, it is too early for that, but when
he is moved he probably will go tc
Washington.”
Dr. Park referred to the fact that the
doctors’ reports were most conservative
and gave results such ns the medical
fraternity would be expected to pass
upon in the case of any citizen.
“It would be weli to have it stated,”
he added, “that the president is not be
ing deprived of benefits of private citi
zenship. He is being treated exactly as
any other citizen would be aud is get
ting the benefit of it. We view the case
just as that of any other man who
might be similarly afflicted.”
“Out of the Woods.”
comfortable night he has had since the
shooting. He slept well and when he
was awakened he was cheery aud eveu
chatty. He is not receiving anj' nour
ishment thus far excent bv enema. Tr.is
Dr. Hermann Mynter was the next of
the consulting physicians to come from
jthe house. He was followed by Dr. Eu
gene Wasdin, and they walked down
like street together. To the queries o 1
the newspaper men Dr. Mynter said:
“The president is doing splendidly
and he is out of the woods, if I may ex
press it that way. ”
“Yes, ” chimed in Dr. Wasdin, “and
he has plenty of daylight behind him. ”
Dr. Mynter said further:
“I have never been really optimistic,
because I no not like to prejudice seri
ous cases, but now I can say to you tfiat
everything in the president’s condition
warrants the statement that he is on the
road to quick recovery.”
Dr. Wasdin said:
“I have believed throughout that the
president had a fair chance of recovery.
Now I desire to say that the chances
against that recovery are very slight.
His temperature is splendid and his
pulse is normal.”
Dr. McBurney was in high spirits as
he walked away from the residence
shorrly after the other physicians had
gone. His face was wreathed in smiles.
“Is the president out of danger?” he
was asked by an Associated Press re
porter.
frantically Out of Danger. '
! “We believe he is practically out of
danger,” he replied, measuring his
words. Then he paused. “Of course,”
he added, “there are stiL! possibilities
in the case and we will all feel bettex
whan a week has gone by. But his im
provement is so marked, his symptoms
are so good that we feel safe in assuring
:tke public that he will recover. Blood
iDoisoning might still develop. We could
!not give a guarantee, but the chances
!are remote. As for peritonitis, I con
lars and join in the general jubilation.
For hours carriages and automobiles
streamed up Delaware avenue. Down
town the people gathered in crowds at
the bulletin boards and gave vent to
their feelings in rejoicing, aud at the
exposition the thousands of visitors who
read the bulletins posted everywhere
burst into cheers.

Fairburn, Ga., Sept. 9.—An educa

British Navy Sympathizes.
London, Sept. 10.—The United States
ambassador, Joseph H. Choate, has re
ceived from the lord of the admiralty,
the Earl of Selborne, the following tele
gram on behalf of the British navy and
admiralty: “Allow me to give expres
sion to the'universal feeling of horror at
the attempt on the life of the president
and the earnest prayer of all the sub
jects of his majesty that the president
may be spared to his family and the
service of the country. The respectful
sympathy of all of us is with Mr. Mc
Kinley at this time of such grave anx
iety and suspense. ”
Reunion Postponed.
Akron, O., Sept. 10.—Arrangements
for a reunion of the Eighth Ohio regi
ment of the Spanish-American war,
popularly known as the “President’s
Own,” have been put aside until the
complete recovery of President McKin
ley. It had been hoped to have him
present at the re-union.
THE TEMPLE OF MUSIC IN WHICH
McKinley was shot.
Pat Bullet In His Head Becaus
3Iother Tried to U hip iiim.
Orlando, Fla., Sept. 10.—A case
comes from the hamlet of Victoria in
which there is the suggestion of a very
rare cause.
Dr. Davis, the local physician at Vic
toria, was hastily summoned by the
email daughter of Mr. J. M. Goolsby,
whose residence was distant from his
some 200 yards. He was requested to
come os soon as he could, as her broth
er, Willie Goolsby, was shot.
When he arrived the doctor found a
lad of 16 lying on the ground lace down
ward, and a ballet hole in the back of the
head, ranging in line with the ears of
the boy, but far back in the skull, the
bullet having entered and passed out,
tearing away a portion of the skull
Behind the boy about 10 feet distant
was a large Remington pistol, 44-cali
ber, with one ctiamber discharged. The
boy was dead. Examination showed
that death was practically instantane
ous.
The account of the occasion, as given
by Mrs. Goolsby, is that she had en
deavored to give the boy some parental
correction, aud he broke away, and pro
curing the pistol, rau into the yard and
fired into his head, with suicidal intent;
that as he fired he throw the pistol back
ward toward the house and fell forward.
She and her little daughter were the
only ones at home, besides tha boy.
The coroner will hold an inquest, as
the affair is rather a mysterious one.

Florida Republicans leader Their
Leader a Reception.
Jacksonville, Fla., Sept. 9.—Judge
John G. Long, rile Republican boss of
Florida, has arrived in the state, after
an absence of two years in Egypt as the
consul general at Cairo. On his arrival
in Jacksonville all of the most promi
nent Republicans in Florida, including
federal officeholders and others, met
him and tendered him a reception at the
Aragon hotel.
Judge Long controls the patronage of
the state almost in the palm of his hand,
and he settled a much mooted question
when he announced as soon as he had
shaken hands around tbat “where the
records of the incumbents are clear and
their services satisfactory they wilt prob
ably be retained.”
This means that in all of the leading
government positions in Florida the
present incumbents will retain their
jobs during the present administration.
Judge Long himself wili return in a few

! “Yes, of course; the bullet may not
Jbe clean, but if it does, we can easily
locate and remove it.”
j “If the president continues to im

checked, how soon will the secondary
operation of the extraction of the bullet
be performed?”
“Never,” replied the famous surgeon.
"That piece of lead encysted in the
muscles of his back will cause no harm.
Of course, if it gives him trouble an ope
ration would be performed.”
“But you will use the X-ray to locate

He shook his head.
Why should we?” he asked.
To satisfy our curiosity? That would
be its only purpose. ”
Dr. McBurney’s opinion as to the
ourcome could not be overstated. His
manner and bearing all testified to tha
conviction he felt. There were hone of
the reservations he made - yesterday.
Yesterdav he plainly showed he was
not yet satisfied He then said a week
should elapse before definite assurance
could be given. This morning the pres
ident’s condition was so eminently sat

Says Kinma Goldman, When Told She'
Was implicated In Shooting.
St. Louis, Sept. 10.—It has been
learned that Emma Goldman, the wa-
man anarchist leader, held eight con
ferences last Friday and Saturday with
St. Louis anarchists in the saloon of
Ernest Kurzenknabe, at No. 201 South
Third street.
Mr. Kurzenknabe says that Emma
Goldman came here Thursday night
directly from Cincinnati, where she had
made only a brief sojourn. He says
that she departed for Chicago Saturday
night after still another conference with
St. Louis friends at Tony Faust’s, but
says that she may have left the train
before reaching Chicago.
One of the two letters which Miss
Goldman received at the St. Louis post-
office Saturday was from New York. It
contained a check from a wholesale
heuse for which Miss Goldman is trav
eling. When Miss Goldman came into
the rendezvous Saturday morning, Kur
zenknabe showed her the newspapers
relating the circumstances of President
McKinley’s shooting and stating that
she was accused of being implicated in
the crime. She laughed aloud:
“Lots see them prove what they al
lege.”
“I have a notion to go straight to one
of the newspaper offices, ’ ’ she is quoted
as saying, “or to the police and ask
them what they want of me. I may go
to Buffalo and brave it through there.
Why, what can they do? They can
prove nothing. ”

Held In "Wilcox.
Abbeville, Ga., Sept. 11.—Wilcox
county is to be plunged into a prohibi
tion election.
A petition has been presented to Or
dinary Warren, signed by the requisite
number of voters, calling for an elec
tion on the liquor question. Ordinary
Warren has set Oct. 7 as the day to de
termine the result.
Wilcox county is the only county be
tween Savannah and Montgomery on
the Seaboard Air Line in which whisky
is sold in barrooms, and the Prohibi
tionists say they are going to vote the
county dry. There is every indication
of a warm fight and the liquor men say
the Prohibitionists are not going to have
such a walk over as they anticipate.
The most conservative people of the
county are not in favor of the election
at this time, as they say it will demoral
ize labor.
The total number of timber rafts on

with a total of some 25,000,000 logs.
