Another Dose of Dixie Crawford Scandal.
LONDON, October 26th.-At the conclusion
| of Sir Charles Dilke's motion in the Craw-
ford case he suggests that Mrs. Crawford's
motive was revenge, because Mrs. Ashton
Dixie threw herself on him during her in
| timacy with Forster. Mrs. Ashton Dixie
was also inimical to Lady Dixie. who had
ordered her out of the house at Chelsea on
account of her language concerning her
| sister. Strenuous efforts had been made 10
| conceal the meetings of Mrs. Crawford and
Forster in Hill-street brothel, but it is
| certain that they met almost daily. The
worst part of Mrs. Crawford'S story prob
ably refers to incidents in her Hill-street
career. Referring to Fanny, he says ii is
not difficult 10 find her, but he cannot in
duce her to give evidence, as she fears she
would be obliged 10 state publicly what
| happened to her in one short moment Of
her life, but she has stated to detective
| that she has never seen Mrs. Crawford since
that trial Mrs. Rogerson stated that Mrs.
| CraWford's confession to her regarding
| Dixie was accompanied by a series of state
| ments involving other men, some of which
could not possibly be true. The object of
| bikes notes is to prepare the way for his
return TO public life. 4 large section of
| Chelsea electors continue to believe in his
| innocence.
The Late Christian Massacre in Africa.
| LONDON, October 2Gth = Details have
| been received of the massacre of native
| Christians at Uganda Africa, by order of
King Mivanga The massacre began in
June, and was directly due to the refusal of
a Christian lad, acting as the Kings page,
to commit an abominabie crime. Many
| Christians were tortured, Inutilated and
speared, and tbirty-two were burned alive
| together. The appeals of missionaries for
a cessation of the atrocities were Unavail-
| ing. The fate of these unfortunates did
not serve 10 frighten candidates for bap-
| tism, and within a week after the massacre
many natives were baptized at their own
desire. Leaflets containing extracts from
| the Scripture, prayers and songs in the
! Uganda language are freely bought by the
| people, although their possession involves
! danger of punishment. The diary of
| Bishop Harrington, who was put to death
| by the King will soon be published in
London. 1t is thrilling and pathetic
narrative of his experiences in Uganda up
to the day of his death.
