Creegan, general agent of the American

tiers from the Rev Mark Williams, of the
Kalgon mission. One was dated June &c,
written from a point sixty miles northwest
of Kalgon. His party included the Rev.
James Ii. Roberts and the Rev. William r.
Sprague and wife. They had Joined a
caravan, which Mrs. Larson. of the Mis-
sionary Alliance, had provided for another
purpose. With some Swedish missionaries
the party then included thirteen adults
and six children.
The second letter is dated Urga in Mon
golia July 81. They had been travelling
thirty~eight days at that time. They
learned from the servant of a Russian
merchant, who had fled. that their houses
had been looted and then burned by the
Chinese soldiers. Mr.. Williams lost his
diaries. which he had kept for fifty years.
Even the houses of Chinese merchants.
who dealt with the foreigners. had been
pillaged. Mr.. Williams adds: 1--WE leave
tomorrow for Kiachota, in Siberia. dis
tant twelve days. We go twenty miles a
day. by camel. cart and horse as before.
Thence we hope TO go home by railroad

HENNEKE TERRIBLY PUNISHED.
Knocked Down So Often by Furey
that the Referee Interfered.

Special to the indianapolis Journal
ANDERSON. Ind, Aug. 30.-Barney
Furey, the Cincinnati lightweight, was only
saved from knocking Frank Henneke out
in the ninth round of what was to have
been a fifteen-round contest, before the
Anderson Athletic Club tonight, by Peter
O'Donnell, the referee. Henneke was help
less from being knocked down by the Gin
cinnati man as fast as he could come to
his feet. 1t was an awful slaughter and
ODonnell had to pull Furey away from
Henneke and declare him the winner. The
fight was the best that has yet been be-
fore the club. Both men. were in the prime
of condition and hit hard from start to fin
ish. Furey succeeded in knocking Henneke
down in the second round and the latter
took the time to get to his feet again. In
the sixth round Henneke scored a knock
down and Furey took the count to come to
his feet.
Mike Schreck, of Reading, o., Issued a
challenge before the fight to fight the win
ner Furey weighed in at $50 pounds and
Henneke eight pounds heavier. Furey made
a great impression with the Anderson
sports in the game fight he made with a
man who belongs in heavier class. In the
preliminary bout. which was between Bob
King, of ST. Louis, and Andy Bezeniah, of
Cincinnati the latter scored a Knockout
i'm the fifth round. Both men were covered
with blood at the end.
