DIR. WORTH SAFE.
a special from Wilmington says:
six American Presbyterian mis-
s!onaries from I<iang Wing have ar
rived at Shanghai"
This dispatch to yesterdays papers
makes 1t quite certain that DR.. George
7. Worth and family are safe. There
were only six Presbyterian missionu-
ries at the place mentioned and there
Is hardly possibility that DIR. Worth
was not one of the six who went to
Shanghai. A Dispatch reporter talk
ed with Mr.. c. w. Worth, DIR. Worth's
brother. and Mr.. w. H. Chadbourn
Mrs. Worth's father, and they were
both confident OF the safety OF the
FAMILY in which Wilmingtonians feel
such a deep interest.
