Associated Press Dispatched
SAN Francisco, Oct. 11.-Among the
advices per the steamship Belgia, which
arrived yesterday, is the news from
China that the revenue cruiser Ling
Feng having reported seeing near Foo
chow large pirate junk firing at a
peaceful trader, gunboat was sent
out by the authorities and returned with
eleven prisoners who were captured
from the piratical craft. All these men
were beheaded. One of them, through
the horrors of his position, or from the
tortures he was subjected to, went
raving mad and refused to kneel before
the executioner, SO that the latter had to
take "pot shots'' at him, and eventually
decapitated him in slices. 1t is rumored
that about one hundred pirates came
down to the execution to- try to effect
rescue, but the large number of troops
present overawed them. A curious GUS
tom prevails here. Executioners when
they have done their work, 60 with
their swords reeking with human gore,
and demanda squeeze at each of the
butchers shops, and in the event of
their not getting one, smear the meat ex-
posed for sale, with hot blood from their
swords. Piracy is becoming quite rife
in the province. News is also spread
that a pirate craft having seized trad
ing junk, massacred in cold blood the
whole crew of thirty-nine men.

Many times women call on their family
physicians, suffering, as they imagine, one
from dyspepsia, another from heart disease,
another from liver OF kidney disease, another
from nervous exhaustion or prostration,
another with pain here or there, and in this
way they all present, alike to themselves and
their easy-going and Indifferent or overbusy
doctor, separate and distinct diseases, for
which he prescribes his pills and potions, as
suming them to be such, when, in reality, they
are all only. symptoms caused by some womb
disorder. The physician ignorant of the cause
OF suffering, encourages his "prdctice - until
large bills are made. The suffering patient
gets no better, but probably worse by reason
OF the delay, wrong treatment and conse-
quent complications. A proper medicine, like
Or. Pierce's Favorite Prescription directed to
the cause would have entirely removed the
disease, thereby dispelling all those distress
ing symptoms, and instituting comfort in
stead OF prolonged misery.

AN OFFENSIVE CANAL.
The City OF Fresno's Litigation with an
Irrigation Company.


FRESNO, Oct. 11.-Suit by the city of
Fresno to declare the canal flowing
through Fresno street nuisance. is be-
ing tried before Judge Harris, and will
be argued October IA. The defendants
are the Fresno Canal and Irrigation COM
pany and Fresno Milling company.
Eminent counsel of this city and San
Francisco is engaged in the trial. Tes-
timony has been introduced by plaintiff
showing damage from frequent over
flows, the bad condition of Fresno street,
through which the ditch passes, and OBJ
struction to traffic. The defense claims
and has introduced testimony showing
that they have maintained the
canal upward of five years against
all adverse claimants, and plead
the statute of limitations.
M. J. Church testified that the canal
was built under his direction, at cost
of $4,000. The witness stated that Le-
land Stanford, Charles Crocker and
their engineers came to him at Center
vile with the information that they
were going to locate two sections Of
land. One important thing they want
ed to know was where could be obtained
the best supply Of water, and there they
would locate town which would be the
most importantin the great San Joaquin
valley. Mr.. Church accompanied the
parties to different localities, including
a site northwest of Fresno. The means
of obtaining water were discussed, and
Mr.. Stanford agreed to assist in build
ing the ditch. The town seemed to be
in favor of the construction of the ditch,
and he was told to 60 ahead. The town
was to have free water, as arranged with
the railroad company, who owned the
land at the time.

THE COAL FAMINE.
1t is Serious and Threatens to Become
Worse.


Worse.
SAN Francisco, Oct. 11.-During the
week there have been the following ar
rivals of coal: From the coast mines,
1850 tons; from Swansea, 2,311 tons.
J. w. Harrison, broker, says the liberal
shirments of the past two weeks from
the northern mines have supplied the
most needy consumers, yet there are to-
day number of factories in the market
for coal, which is selling at such prices
that their managers are considering the
propriety of closing down for few
months. Fuel in many manufactures
cuts quite large figure. When it
reaches certain price it can no longer
be utilized at profit. What
makes the situation serious,
is the question When and from what
sources may relief be looked for? The
strike in Australia continues. 1t takes
about five months to get coal from Great
Britain, and the freights from that Sec
ton preclude getting any low priced
coal. The demand locally and for San
Pedro and San Diego will employ all the
coast tonnage, and will employ consider
ably more to move the output on the
coast. The Wellington company is
using every endeavor to increase its out
put to meet the winter consumption,
but it is stated there is great difficulty
in securing miners.

Deliberations of the American Board at

MINNEAPOLIS, Oct 10.-The American
Board of Commissioners for Foreign
Missions this morning listened to the
report of the committee of thirteen on
organization. This committee has been
at work three years trying to get at the
opinion of the Congregational churches
at large, as to whether change in the
form of the boards organization, SO as
to make it more democratic and repre-
sentative, was advisable. The commit
tee, while it admitted that it's efforts in
this direction were somewhat unsatis-
factory, recommended that no change
be made. Adopted.
This afternoon, among others, Rev.
7. E. Clapp, of Oregon, was elected a
member OF the corporate body. All the
old officers were reelected unanimously.
The next meeting will be held at Pitts
