MISSIONARIES IN PERIL.

Miss Annie S. Young, a graduate
of the Seminary, a member Of the
Baptist church in this place, and
who is now a missionary to China,
is having very anxious time. She
went out under the auspices of the
Baptist Missionary society and
located at Kinh-wa, China, over
two years ago. AS usual during the
hot season, she is now at Shoa-hing,
nearl V two hundred miles from kinh-
wa. In recent letters to friends in
this vicinity, she tells of a native boy
in their school, who twice refused to
show the usual courtesy to the ruler
of the place by rising when he passed.
For his misdemeanor, the lad was
imprisoned and beaten, and the
natives roundabout are greatly eX-
cited. They affirm that disrespect to
rulers is taught by the missionaries,
and threaten to demolish the school
buildings and expel the miscreants.
There is a very bitter feeling against
all foreigners in China, and Miss
Young and her friends may not
wholly escape the vengeance of the ex-
cited natives Montpelier Watch

MEXICO'S INVADERS.
Officials Consider Their Attempt at a ReYO-

ST. LOUIS, Sept. ia dispatch from the
City OF Mexico says: The so-called reyolu-
tionary movement at Laredo is the subject
of ridicule here. The invading force of
General Francisco Ruiz Sandoval will, If
met by the Federal forces. be given warm
reception. Sandoval was expelled from this
city and country some two years ago. 1t
will be remembered that several months ago
SandUval attempted raid into this repu-
lie, but was forced 10 swim the Rio Grande
with his companions, who were discovered
in their hiding place in the banks in a nude
condition. He was imprisoned, released on
bail, and after a trial, was set free. In
Government circles the vaingloriouS pro-
nouncement Of SAndoval and Garcia is con-
Sdered most excellent joke
ST. LOUIS, Sept. ia dispatch from
Laredo, Tex, says the revolutionary move
ment engineered by SandOval and Garcia

the sole purpose of giving notoriety to the
two leaders so they can continue their
careers and secure contributions from ignO-
rant MeXicans on this side of the river or
various pretenses, as they have heretofore.
WASHINGTON, Sect. 19.-In answer to an
inquiry from the War Department General
Stanley, commanding the Department OF
Texas, telegraphed to-day that his forces
were on the alert and watching closely for
any signs Of fillbustering expeditions in
tending TO cross the Texas line into Mexico.
United States troops will not undertake to
follow any raidlng party in Mexico, but
will Immediately arrest members of any
such party found on our side of the bound

Rio Grande City special saws: Two hum
dred Mexican troops from Mier, Camargo,
and Keynes are watching reyolutionists
near Camargo. Great uneasIness is felt in
CamargO from the seeming inaction of the
troops against them. Camargo and Mipr
are patrolied by citizens. Soldiers are alb
sent, and the revoiutionists take arms,
horses and provisions proniscuously. One
revolutionist was wounded by customs
guards on the 10th inst. Troops are coming
from Nuevo Leon and other points. There
is much excitement at Camargo and Mier.

At one time she was regarded as beauti-
full woman. She came to California about
thirty years ago, and married John Alsop,
an umbrella-maker. They lived happily to-
gether for many years. until jealousy drove
him to drink. His attractive wife had many
admirers, and when he learned that she IA
yored the attentions of one OF them he be-
came furious and separated from her.
1t was about five years ago that he found
her in company with a man in a notorious
lodging house and shot her. The bullet
lodged in her back. and for many months
she lowered between life and death in the
old Receiving Hospital, but, owing to the
careful nursing of her pretty daughter, she
finally recovered. Alsop was never arrested
for the crime. as he disappeared and no one
ever heard what became Of him. After
leaving the hospital she began life OF dis

STAMPEDED CATTLE.


A Herder and Horse Charged Upon Twice
by Steer.
About twenty mead of beef cattle started
from Broadway Wharf about $3.50 o'clock
last night for Butchertown in char. of four
men. The cattle were Inclined to be unrulv,
and as soon as they were well out on East
street started north at lively gait The
herders had a hard job to head them off, and
in doing so one of them named Frederick
Carter narrowly escaped impal ement on the
long horns of one of the cited animals
The brute tore along the street up to tho
grain sheds before Carter headed him off,
and even then the brute was not inclined to
90 the other way.
Carter was mad and used heavy whip
pretty freely, and at last the animal made
a rush, and in an instant both horse and
rider were rolling in the dust. Carter was
badly shaken up by the fall, but managed
to clear himself of the fallen horse be fore
the now thoroughly enraged steer did him
any serious damage, and then sought a
haven of safety behind pile of lumber.
The brute charged on the horse twice be-
fore one OF the other men arrived and threw
a lasso over its horns. Carter had to make
the trip to Butchertown on foot, as his horse
was totally used up. having been cut in sew
eral places by the long horns.
