! Missionaries Beaten Because Rain Did
Not Fall-A Deiuse Followed.
SAN Francisco. Oct. A.-The steamer
Oceanic arrived this morning from China
and Japan. Chinese advices state that MIR.
Polhill Turner and wife, who have been en-
gagged in missionary work among the
Thibetans on the border, were assaulted by
mob at Sunghan. Aug. 10, and narrowly
escaped with their lives. Mrs. Turner is i'll
and has been sent to Sunhsn for treatment.
Natives accused the strangers OF being
nsoromanoers and preventing rainfall.
A mob numbering fully 600 made an at
tack on tho house and turner and his wife
were dragged out, beaten over the head
with plckets and with their clothes half
torn from their bodies, marched bnreheadel
th ough the streets under blazing sur. .
The mob threatened to drown them, but
were prevented by military officials, who
suggested that the missionaries be carried
before native court. This was done and
tho court ordered MIR. and MIS-. Turner
bsaten, but tive native Christian se wants
volunteered and were beaten in their steaa.
The Turner's gathered their children and
fled to Szeohuen.
subsequently rain fell at Sunghan to such
extent that tho village was nearly sub
merged by mud washed from the hills. The
cholera is reported ut Chentu with many
deaths. A great ire at Yehang, Sept. 4, de-
stroyed nearly tho whole of the large viii
lags, with loss of about two hundred
lives. Fifty junks were burned on the
river.

Goddard and MaltAr.

New YORK, Oct. 14.-"Why doesn't God
dard fight Peter Maher for the $5, 600 purse
offered by the Cooney Island Athletic
club?" inquired reporter of Billy Madden
Billy smiled and said: my man won't
fight Maher for that purse. / think it is a
very small offer, considering the reputation
that Goddard possesses. if they gave So
coo for ChoynsKi and Godftey. two defe ated
men, to contend for, | can't see why they
don't raise the ante and hang up an incen-
tive, say about 81, 500 or more. However, 1
will make proposition to them to show
you that my man IL as good drawing ca I'd
as any puGilist. We will mako smstch
with Maher if the Cooney Island club will
guarantee tho winner of the mill half of
the gross receipts of the house and 81 600 to
the loser. If the afiaig is not n success the
fighters will have to bear the whole loss
and not the organization. i belinvs this to
be very fair. | will. also bet on the ontside
any amount that MIR. Holland desires. from
$1,000 to $4,000. if necessary. Ii Maher
and Goddard ever come together you will
see the best contest of your life. Thar
style of lighting is similar. and they can
punch like mule a-kicking."

TALKED FOR THEIR TOWNS.
Trying to Get tho Congregational Council
for Next Year.

Trying to Get the Congregational Council
for Next Year.
MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. H.--This morning
when the Congregational council wns re-
lieved Of the sobersr parts Of it's work by
allowing the advocates of different cities
who wanted the next meeting "A chance TO
speak in favor of their respective cities,
wave after wave OF laughter and applause
rolled up from tho auditorium at the hu-
InorouB speschea made in favor of San
Francisco and Tacoma. DR.. Brown, of San
francisco, took occasion to say that san
Franclsco had long waited for the holding
OF this or some other body of the church.
and he hoped now the council would decide
on bis city. DR.. Hallock. of Tacoma, made
speech in favor of his city, which, Ls said
would give $4,000.
The committee to whom WAS reEerred the
matter of the relation of benevolent socie-
ties TO the church reported this afternoon
the unanimous opinion that important
changes in organizations OF such large
scope and responsibility ehould be made
with great care, and only after very full
| consideration, and that the time has not
come for recommending so radical change
as the consolidation of tho home societies
IN one organization. In GASES whe @,
as IN the propoposed consolidation
OF the New West educational commission
with the American college and educational
society, consolidation is possible without
any disturbance of tho feelings of f.iends
of others. Such consolidation is to be
| most heartily welcomed, but the work of
other societies is 80 varied and extensive
that comparatively little could be gained
| by their consolidation, while there
| would be danger of serious trouble result
ing from any hasty movement changing
entirely the constitution as at present or
| gani2ed.
| The committee says the changes neoeg-
sary in order to make the society formally
representative of the churches should if
possible originate in the societies them
| selves, and as such commend themselves to
| those who have had long experience in the
| management Of their affairs. The COM
| mittee notes with satisfaction that several
of the societies have eready taken the
necessary steps to make themselves repre-
sentative of the churches, while not ain
| gle society IL to- day in an attitude of hostil-
| ity to the principle of snch representation.
The committee therefore recommends the
adoption of series of resolutions declar-
ing: That the council earnestly desires
that all benevolent societies shall be made
in reality and not in a hguratiye sense
only, representing the churches; that the
council, appreciating the Importance of the
unanimous action of the American board
at the last meeting, in adopting measures
looking toward securing representatives, of
the churches III the board, expresses the
earnest hope that the board will devise
such measures as will show its confidence
in the churches, and result in the increased
confidence of the churches in the board:
furthermore that the churches be advised
to make nominations the coming year to
fill vacancies in the board.

FITZsIMMONS TO FIGHT HALL.
He Is to Meet III i'm at Catch Weights for
Purse of $4,000

| He Is to Meet Him at Catch Weights for a
Purse of 81 900
| New ORLEANS Oct. 14-Ths Olympic
club has succeeded in getting the signature
of Bob Fitzsimnlons to articles of agree
ment for a fight with Jim Hail. catch
Weights President Noel this evening made
the announcement that he and Capt. Will
liams had, after long consultation with
| Fitzsimmons, induced him to agree to a
meeting with his fellow countryman at
| catch weights u thing which the cham pion
| has heretofore refused to do, contend ding
| that as he had won the title ut the regula-
| tion limit he should only be called on to
defend it at the same weight.
He has shown, however. that the cham
pion of any class had no right to go outside
of his class and meet heavier men as he
had done, and that therefore his own action
in meeting Peter Maher had been accepted
as a precedent, and that Hall had right to
ask for catch weights. lie at last saw the
force of the argument and signed the
articles.
They stipulate that the fight will take
place some day in February, aLout the rst,
so rs not TO conflict with the carnival; that
the purse will be $4,000. 81 600 to the loser,
and that tie weight shall be ject to the
will of the contestants. The club reserves
the right to select the referee and official
time keeper.
Hall was cabled the substance of the
agreement and was urged to make prompt
answer. President Noel is of opinion that
he cannot refuse to meet ths champion, al
everything has been arranged just as he has
wanted it done. Should Hall accept the
offer Fitzsimmons will quit the stage and
so into training. lie will probably do his
work in tho south, as he has heretofore.

CLEVELAND SURE OFF INDIANA.
Congressman Bynnm Forecasts n Majoril

congressman BynHm Forecasts u Majority
Of at Least 10000.
WASHINGTON, Oct. IA letter was re-
oeived here to-day from Representative
Bynum, of Indiana, in which he says he
has been all over the state and he is per-
fectly satisfied that if the election were
held at once the democrats wopld carry the
state by 10000 majority. Making allow
ances in the interest of very con-
servative estimate and in recognition of
special efforts the republicans may make
before the close of the campgign, he be-
lieves shat n democratic najo,lty of 10 900
or 1900 ls safe enough to bet on freely.
All the information received hero by the
domoo attic congressional committee is o
the OBJECT that New York is all right; that
while one or two of shs southern states will
be close there Is no probability that the
democrats will lose any of them. and that
the democratic prospects In the northeast
and northwest are as good as they ever were.
The democratic leaders in the east are not
counting at all on Iowa, but the Iowa dem
ocrats who attended tho late convention OF
democratic clubs were very positive in de-
cIaring that Iowa would be carried by the
| democrats. The democratic managers i'll
this part of the country admit that they
think this IL rainbow chasing, but they
| could not help being somewhat impressed
| by the earnestness with whioh the Iowa
men claimed their own state.
| A prominent Massachusetts democrat
says that he expects Gov. Russell 10 be re-
elected. but he does not expect Cleveland
to get the electoral vote of the stste in
which Buz2ard's Bay is located. Both the
republican nominations for representative
in New Hampshire have caused great dis
satisfaction in the party. The state ia al
ways close, and, to put it very mode ately,
the democratic leaders are greatly encour-
aged about tho prospects of their party in
the Granite state and have hopes.
MIR. kilgore, Of Texas. Ia here on his way
home from New Jersey. where he hhs been
on the stump. The republicans are mnk-
ing some claims TO New Jersey, bur they do
admits thnt there Id any danger OF defeat
there. In this locality domocratIo oouti-
dsnce in New York Is steadily increasing
and 1t Ia generally assumed that Oonnooti-
cut will go as New York does.
