sinking fund and pledge the earnings to
pay present liens on the property. Power
is also given them to hire employees and fix
their compensation and to contract for new

MURDERED MISSIONARIES.
Latest Victims of Africans Probably
Members of the u. ID. Church.

NEW YORK, March 2S.-Inquiry among
the officers of the foreign mission boards in
this city regarding the dispatch from Lon
don reporting the murder of an American
missionary and his wife and the taking into
captivity of his two daughters by natives of
the Mendi district, Sierra Leone, revealed
the fact that none of the larger boards has
missionaries in that part of West Africa.
The Missionary Alliance has men in Sierra
Leone, but one of its officers said that all
its representatives were young and unmar-
ried. From the same source it was learned
that the murdered missionary was probably
one of the United Brethren missionaries.
Their headquarters is in Pennsylvania. Six
or eight months ago several of the United
Brethren missionaries of this same district
were killed and others of them driven to
the coast and their property destroyed. 1t
was not until the British government sent
troops that the natives were quieted and the
missionaries dared to return TO their sta
tions. At that time number of the natives
were executed. These later murders are
probably a recurrence Of the former diff
culties.

the system of each and to-day they showed
an improved state of health. The Presidents
programme after breakfast is a seat in
rocking chair on the porch until time to
dispatch a little business with Assistant
Secretary Cortelyou. This is followed by
drive. To-day this took the form of tally
no party, the whip being Charles Chaplin,
Senator Hanna's nephew. President McKin-

accustomed high hat, occupied the box with
him. Others of the party were the Vice

After light lunch at the house a drive to

which is the recognized social institution of
Thomasville entertained the party and then
