CHRISTIANS MURDERED
FOUR RBRITISH.FEMALE MISSION
ARIES KILLED by THE
CHINESE.
AN AMERICAN WOMAN WOUNDED.

COnSul-Generai JerD'gan Notifies the
State Department of the Massacre
Proper Steps in Regard to the Matter
will be Taken By the Government al
Once. -.Gravest Fears at the Head
quarters of the Methodist Foreign
Mission Board. 81
WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 3.--The
State Department has received cable
gram from United States Consul Jerni-
gan at Shanghai stating that one Ameri-
can female missionary was wounded and
four British female missionaries killed
at the mission of Kucheng. No further
details are given. The State Department
will take steps in the matter at once.
Greatest Fears Excited.
NEW YORK, Aug. Am Associated
Press cable telling of massacre of Chris
tians, including five women at Kucheng,
excited the gravest fears at the head
quarters of the Foreign Board of Metho-
dist Missions in this city to day.
The Methodists have a Mission at Ku-
cheng. 1t is in charge Of Miss Mabel @.
Hartford Her assistant is Miss W. H.
Rouse. In addition to these, it is feared
two other women, Miss Mabel Allen and
Miss Sarah Peters are also in the vicinity
of Kucheng.
Corresponding Secretary A. B. Leonard
0e tho Methodist poop1 If Eopair,n Mis
sions, who has spent considerable
time in China, said today:
''In view of the fact that we have
received no cablegram from China, we
can only hope for the present that our
people are safe and well. Had any Of
our people been massacred, am sure
that the Rev, W. Fl. Lacy, our represen-
taLiye and treasurer at F)0 Chow, from
which place the advices were received,
would have cabed to US without delay.
We will not communicate with Mr. Lacy
unless we receive information of the al
legged massacre from him."
Miss Hartford is resident Of Dover,
N. H., and has spent several years as a
missionary to China. She was some time
ago put in charge of the women's work
as Kucheng. Miss Rouse, her assistant,
came from Lakefeld, MINI.
The Rev. Job Gillespie, Secretary of
the Foreign Board of Missions of the
Presbyterian church, said to day that his
church had no missionaries within 250
miles of Kucheng. He expressed the
opinion that the massacre affected
most seriously the church mission
airy society of England, which estab-
lished mission at Kucheng in 1847.
The mission is attached to the Church
of England and has two mission houses
there. The society maintains twenty
two schools in the province, one of which
is in charge Of a native pastor. There is
also a small church for lepers in the leper
village Just outside of the south gate.
Rev. E. E. Chivers, secretary Of the
Baptist Board Of Foreign Missions, said
that the Baptists have no missions nearer
the scene of the alleged massacre than
Che Kiang, which is 300 miles distant.
Other missionaries are located at XII
cheng, which is also about 200 miles
from Kucheng.

WANTS CARLISLE IMPEACHED.
Mr.. BalIOu Still dissatisfied About the
Proposed BnII Fieht.

New YORK, Aug. 3.--The Vice Presi-
dent of the American Humane Associa-
tion is of the opinion that the Secretary
Of the Treasury is liable to Impeachment
if the animals to be used in the proposed
bull fights at the Atlanta Exposition are
admitted into this country. To-day, the
following letter was sent:
To the Honorable, the Secretary of the
Treasury.
1t is announced that ten bulls have
been shipped from the City of Mexico
to the Atlanta Exposition for the pur-
pose of giving exhibitions of bull fights
| am informed by counsel that my ap-
peal to the President from your depart
ment's decision admitting the bulls, acts
as a stay. You should, therefore, hold
the bulls at the frontier port of entry,
pending the decision of the President
Inasmuch as your decision, has had the
effect of encouraging the importation of
bulls, and as bull fights are being an
nOunced IN various quarters of the coun-
try in consequence, 1 have no reason to
believe that the President will uphold
your decision, which was a miscon-
oGIuCtAOh Vi q ocCCLOu VI Iu6 ldIlu
law which in effect seeks to exclude all
things of immoral use.
Certainly, if you admit the bulls pend
ing the decision of the President, | am
of the opinion that you will be liable to
impeachment at the next session of Con.
gress under the statutes. have the
honor to be,

Of Bodies Stolen From Graveyards.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, Aug. 3.-Mrs. Pat Quin-
Ian knew Of the disappearance of Julia
Coanor in Holmes Castle, and saw the
body of the woman after she was dead.
She further knew and has admitted that
Pearl Connors disappeared mysteriously
in the Castle after her return from a
trip to Quinlan farm at Lacota, Mich.
Chief Badenoch took Mrs? Quinlan
and her husband to the Castle yesterday
with Inspector Fitzpatrick and detec-
tives Fitzpatrick and Norton. The OBJ
ject of this trip was to let Quinlan and
his wife meet They were closeted to.
gether alone for an hour in the room in
which Julia Connors carpet lies, and in
which the chair belonging to the muir
dered woman stands. What took place
between them no one knows but Chief
Badenoch and his detectives. The Chief
says he now has proof positive that Mrs
ConnOr and Pearl, her daughter, were
murdered in the building.
Mrs. Connor's body was disposed of
by burial within the Castle somewhere
close TO the spot where Pearls Supposed
body was found. The police have not
ceased their efforts to find the bottom of
the basement and uncover her remains.
The digging, which was suspended yes
terday will continue today and during
the coming week.
Pat Quinlan and his wife have admit
ted partially, the woman more than the
man, that business in receiving and
disposing of dead bodies stolen from
country grave yards, was carried on in
the Castle under the direction of Holmes.
The grave yards of the western portion
of Michigan, Grand Haven, South Ha-
ven, Muskegon, Holland, st. Joseph, the
Bay and Lakota were despoiled of bod
les and coffins. The bodies were brought
to the Castle, chemically treated and then
disposed of to medical colleges. The
coffins were re-made by Quinlan, Pietzel
and Holmes, refined and disposed of to
undertakers at a fair profit.

GREENSBORO, N. O., Aug 3.
Greensboro now has very interesting
legal question on hand that is causing
considerable comment. Some years ago
Capt. B. J. Fisher, an Englishman,
bought large track of land north of
Greensboro, and Immediately opened up
a street extending to North Elm. He
then attempted to get the town to pay
him for opening the street, but il was
decided that the opening Of the street
benefited him mere than it did the
town, consequently no money was paid
him Recently, however, he decided
that he would force the town to pay him
for the street, so he cut ditch three feet
wide and three deep so that vehicles
cannot pass. The mayor of the town
then arrested the Captain and fined him
$50 Mr.. Fisher, of course appealed
and the affair goes up to court, mean
while, Mayor Nelson will fine Captain
Fisher $50 per day as long as the ditch
is open.
