JOHN UPSETS THEM.
MISSION BUILDINGS ARE pEMoL.
IsHED IN CHINA
Mission Buildings are Knocked Down
About the Ears of the Hapless Inmates
Women and Children Flee for their Lives

London, June 1O.-A special dispatch
from Shanghai says it is almost Ger.
tain that massacre Of all persons con.
nected with the English, French and
American missions at Chang Tu has
occurred. Neither men, women mol
children have been spared, according
to the report. 1t is admitted that tele-
grams have been intercepted by the
government, the object being to con-
ceal the news OF the massacre. A
French gunboat is enroute to Wuen
Chang to investigate the reports.
The number Of missionary posts in
Chang Tu is believed to be in the neigh
borhood of 100 or 100. Each of these
posts have ten or more missionaries.
New York, June 10-Officers of the
Methodist Missionary society here be-
lieve the reported massacre at Chang
Tu exaggerated. DR.. Stephen ]. Bald
win, recording secretary, said: II do
not think these rumors are subsequent
to the assurances we received by cable
from our mission under date of June
3, which read: Property destroyed;
all safe. Informs Toronto This
would indicate that the people are safe
although all the property has been de-
stroyed."
Washington, June 1O-This afternoon
the state department officials, after in
Vestigating the reports said that they
thought mistake had been made in
the TRANSMISSION Of the name of the
place where the massacre Is stated to
have occurred. IL is believed that the
names Chang Tu should be Chang TIE,
the capital Of Human. In this place
there are a number Of foreign mission
aries, and the anti-foriegn feeling is
very strong. In 1893, there were threat
ening demonstration by the Chinese
and the missionaries were kept in a
state of terrorism by the display Of
playcards abusing the foreign devils"
and warning natives against utilization
with them.
The condition of affairs was regard
ed by United tates Minister DENLY as
grave enough to warrant representa-
tons to the Chinese government and
the facts were made the subject Of
several reports from the minister to
the st ate department. Chang TIE is
accessible to small gunboats and a
British warship sivited the nelghbor-
hood several years ago.
Shanghai, June 10-The report Of the
total destruction Of the missions Of
Chang Tu, Kiating and Yoachohu has
been confirmed. The local officials re-
fused protection to the missionaries un-
til the mob had completed the work Of
demolishing the buildings. The mis-
sion station at other places have been
threatened. About twenty-adults, be-
sides a number Of children, have taken
refuse at Chan Tu and Yamen. Vice
roy Lin Is blamed for the affair.

The Pening-Fellner contest over q lot

ACTOR EMMETT Is A BRUTE.
Savage Attempt is Made to Take His wIte'l
Life.

/
San Francisco, June 1O.-J. K. EN-.
NETT, Jr., the German dialect comedian,
attempted to murder his wife last
night, and was only prevented from
executing his design by the forcible in-
reference Of neighbors. Emmett had
been about town all day, and In the
evening returned home in q drunken
condition. He and his wife had an ale
tercation and the woman fled from the
house.
Emmett pusued her into the street
and fired a pistol at her at close range.
Then he caught the unfortunate wo-
man and beat her about the face with
the butt end of the gun Two young
men pulled the maddened actor from
his victim and turned him over to the
police. Mrs. Emmett was taken to the
receiving hospital where she refused
to allow her wounds to be examined.
She had a violent attack of histeria
and the surgeons could do nothing with
her. She insisted that she had not
been shot and said her husband was
too big a coward to shoot her. There
was slight wound in her temple and
the police said the bullet glanced from
the bone and lodged under the scalp.
Baby Simmot, precoclous child who
plays with the Emmetts, made an
from her husbands wrath. but was
thrown aside by the drink-crazed man.
Emmett and his wife recently conclud-
ed an engagement at a local theater,
where they presented a play called
Fritz in a Madhouse." Mrs. Emmett
Is a California girl and Is known on
the stage as Emily Littan. She mar
ried Emmett about three years ago.
After refusing to be examined at the
hospital she was allowed to leave and
is now stopping with friends at hotel
Emmett is in Jail
Emmett was bailed out of jail to-
night. His wife's injuries are not serl-
Gus. The bullet from his revolver
struck her on the temple and glanced
off; making merely superficial wound.
Mrs. Emmett had recovered her self
possession today, and refused to dis
cuss her trouble with her husband.
Emmett himself said he had no cause
for shooting his wife, and attributes
his deadly assault upon her to too
much drink. Mrs. Emmett will proba-
bly, not prosecute her husband, and
the matter will be dropped,

SHE DIDN'T LIKE A HAREM
Mrs. Miller doesn't Care to Divide Her Hus-
bands Love.

Lancaster, Pa, June 10.-For the loss
of his wife's love Jacob G.. Seitzinger
has sued Samuel H. Miller to recover
100000 The lady whose affections are
rated at that snug figure has, 1t Is al
legged, banished happiness from two
homes, and has herself been exiled by
White Caps.
Mr.. Miller resided at Denver, this
county, where he kept a hotel and
was once tried for shooting a mand
dead who attempted to rob him. The
martial mix-up has paralyzed that vii
lage with excitement. 1t is claimed
by Mr. Seltzinger that Miller induced
the formers wife to leave home and to
live with Miller. Mrs Miller naturally
objected to this arrangement of at
fairs, not having been educated up to
the point where she could regard a
harem with satisfaction. Her protests,
1t appears, avalled nothing with the
fair charmer, and her murmurs Of dis
approval only brought down wrath up
on her own head. Mrs. Miller sum-
moned the aid of the law, and her lord
and master was hauled up before a
justice. However, Mrs. Steingziner
remained, and Mrs. Miller, no longer
able to tolerate her presenceleft her
own home.
In the meantime the deserted nus
band, Mr.. Seltzinger, tried to induce his
alleged naughty wife to return to her
former bed and board. But he tried
in vain. Mr.. Mlller's attractions SEEM
ed so seductive that Mrs. Seitzinger
preferred to remain where she was.
Suits were brought against the COW
eted lady and her alleged lover upon
very serious charges, and they will be
tried next week. Today Mr.. Seitzlnger
brought matters to a climax by insti-
tuting civil action against Miller for
10000.
The latter is well-to-do financially,
and the case has caused widespread
comment.
But the heroine Of this tale could
not be located today. Last night a
few men wearing white masks took 1t
upon themselves to administer Justice.
They nailed a notice upon Miller's resi-
dence warning the fair inmate, Mrs.
Seitzinger, IL she did decamp instanter
she would be gently attired in brand
new spring garb Of tar with feather
trimmings. Not caring to appear In
public thus clothed, she dlscreetly van
ished and was not seen today.

HOOsIER DEMOCRATS AND SILVER,
They will have Free Coinage Convention
or Know Why.

Indianapolis, Ind, June 10.-The
Democratic Editorial association Of In
diana, which meets at MaXlnkuckee
June q and 49, Is preparing to smoke
out the Democratic state committee
on the silver question. Chairman Tag
CART has thus far successfully avoided
calling a state convention to discuss
free silver, although a general clamor
for one has been going up from the
Democratic press ever since the I'LL
nois Democrats issued their CALL
A large majority Of the Democratic
editors in Indiana favor free coinage
and, headed by John G.. Shanklin Of the
Evansville Courier, they have decided
to have a discussion at the Maxinkuc-
kee convention and bring such pressure
on the state committee that 1t will
be forced into action. Besides Editor
Shanklin, Jacob p. Dunn of the In
dlanapolis Sentinel, a free coinage pa
per, and John B. Stoil of the South
Bend Times will also address the DEM
ocratic editors at Maxinluckee. What
Is called the honest money" wing Is
not represented on the program Edl-
tor Shanklin believes the state Demo-
cracy should pledge itself at once for
free coinage, and resolutions will be
presented at the editorial convention
indorsing the stand Of the Illinois free
sllverites, and recommending that the
state committee call similar conven-
ton in this state.
There are Democratic editors in the
state who are opposed to free coinage,
but they will not make much of fight
at the coming meeting.
