The Escnpc of Illuminating Gas A.
fects Twenty-One Persons.
WILMINGTON. Del. Jan. Escaping
Illuminating gas from a broken street main

Fountain. George Fountain, and Miss Sa-
rah Lewis.
The four families affected by the gas live
at 3lS. 800. 322. and 32i East Tenth street.
During Wednesday afternoon the odOr Of
gas was detected in the houses, but no at
tention was paid 10 il, as the thought OF
escaping gas never entered the minds of
the occupants of the house. No 524 is the
only house which has gas. During the
night all the families had noticed that
something made them ILL., They were sick
at the stomach and had headaches
Mrs. Stewart finally became so III that
she called the other members Of her FAM

nearly unconscious. She then awakened all

open. This had the desired effect. The
Stewart family aroused the others in the
houses and windows we're generally thrown

and soon had some Of the patients in good
condition. though most of them are still

Ia their letter TO the chairmen of the

state that while the bill might not be OBJ
icctionabie If the police force WAS large
enough TO admit of such an arrangement
they are OF the opinion that the bill would
be most unwise under the present clrcum-

duty during each eight hours would proba-
bly, require double the present force 20
properly patrol the streets and roads.

NEW STORIES OF MASSACRE.
LAST MESSAGE OF MINISTER CoNGER, SENT


BY a RUNNER
London, July THE massacre of the foreign
Ministers, the women, the children and the
European guards at Picking after eighteen days
Of hopeless resistance, is confirmed says
news agency dispatch from Shanghai dated July
6 and received in London to-day.
When the ammunition and food were ex-
bausted." continues the dispatch, the Chinese
fends closed in upon the legations and butchered
all those who remained alive. Afterward they
set fire 70 the legation buildings, in which the
bodies OF the victims were consumed in one
horrible holocaust"
The dispatch does not state the source from
which the news Of this confirmation is received
It is thought that this is indicated by another
Shanghai dispatch. which states that the Taotai,
or officer in charge Of several Departments at
Shanghai and vicinity now admits that no lega-
ton exists in Pekng. They are said TO have
been exterminated, and it is admitted that no
foreigners have been left alive
Reports Of the atrocities committed by Prince
Tuan upon the Chinese are appalling. He had
four thousand leading Chinese butchered, II IS
said for merely daring TO petition him 10 con-
troll the orgy Of blood and restrain his followers
The dispatch concludes with the announcement
that the ex-Viceroy Of Pe-Chi-LL Wang Wen
Chao. has been killed by the Boxers
Reports from natives who left Pekng on June
% continue TO arrive, but they are TO a large
extent merely variations of the stories already
published.
A dispatch from Taku says that the last mes
sage from Edwin H. Conger. the United States
Minister at Peking, brought there by runner,
reads as follows:
We are besteged. The provisions are becom-
ing exhausted, and the situation Is desperate
re relief force should advance and give US
notice by signal
Runners also confirm the report Of the burning
Of the native city Of Peking.
