II. B. Schenck's Sister is
Thought to Have Met
That Fate.
FOR THE PIERz WAGON ROAD
Contracts Let For Improve
ments on an Important
Highway.

Through dispatches from Africa
which appeared in Saturdays pa
pers, it is believed that Miss Ella
Schenck, sister of Fl. B. Schenck, OF
this city, has been murdered in West
Africa. The dispatches report the
assassination of Miss Archer, Miss
Hatfield, Mr.. Cain, and "Miss"
Kegg." The dispatch says the lat
ter is thought to be a misspelling of
Miss Schen2k's name, although
another dispatch gives the name
clearly. Mr.. Schenck is quite sure
that his sister is dead, as she was
working with the others whose
names are mentioned. The mission
aries we're sent out by the United
Brethren ofChrist Mission of Dayton,
0. They were located 100 miles
east Of Freetown, the capital OF
Sierra Leone, which is a British
colony. Miss Schenck went to Af-
RIGA in 1894, and returned in 1894
her health being bad, and went back
to her work last October. although
her relatives tried to dissuade her.
She was 80 years OF age.
The following cablegram, from the
New York Sun, confirms the first dis
patches:
FREE Town, Sierra Leone, May 9.
Gov. Cardew says that the Ameri-
can missionaries, Mrs. Cain, wife OF
the Rev. J. N. Cain, and Miss Schenck
were killed by the natives inathe re-
cent rising at Rotifunk. Mrs. Ca in
was previously reported to have es-
capped to the bush. Messrs. Burtn er
and Minshall and their wives and
Misses Ward and Mullen are safe at
Free Town.
