Arthur Boyer Killed.
brewers Curfew.)


The most shameful and barbarious muir
der that we have heard of in many way
was committed at Piney Creek, Allegheny
county, Sunday the 5th, of this month. 1t
seems there was preaching at that place
and Arthur and his father and mother were
there--it being communion meeting. AS
we gather the facts. it seems that Mr..
Murphy was there and wanted to go home
with a Miss. Caudill, but she re-
fused his company and asked Boyer to go
with her. which he did. This caused some
confusion between Murphy Parsons and
Anderson, who began to curse and abuse
him shamefully. Boyer then caused some
little disturbance and started with the girl
| for her home. Deputy Sheriff Anderson,
Glenn Wyatt and John Parsons followed
and tried to arrest Boyer. Boyer asked
| if they had papers for him. They told
| him no. He informed them that they
could not arrest him without papers. They
| then returned to the church and tried diff
| ferent magistrates before they could get
a warrant. Then they followed Boyer to
| Mr. j. Caudill's. Anderson and Wyatt
went to the barn and Parsons to the house
| and was talking to Boyer when he tBoy-
err complained of being sick. Mrs. eau
dill told him 10 go up stairs and lie down.
| He started, when Parsons caught him by
coat collar and shot twice, killing him
nstantly-then demanded him to consider
himself under arrest after he was dead.
| One ball entered just below right eye
| ranging upward. Such cowardly murder
| ers should be delt with to the full extent
of the law. Parsons has been placed in
Sparta jail. Boyer was fine young man
of % years-just in the summer of life
the bloom of youth. He spent few days
| here last winter with his aunt Elvira Spi-
Ger. Parsons lived with his grandmother,
| whose heart. no doubt, is breaking, over
this sad affair. Arthur Boyer has an I'M
limited number of friends in Wilkes and
Allegheny counties, and also, in Virginia
and W. Va, who will be rt-broken to
learn of his sudden and sad departure.

From Sheng's statements to me I am
inclined to think there is truth in the
rumor that the Empress Dowager at
least, if not the Emperor too, has left
Pekin for WI Tai Hasten, in Shen ST
Province, via Tao Ting Flu, for he told
Privy Council crossed the Lukon bridge
on the 18th with banners bearing in
scriptions denoting that they formed a
part of the imperial escort, and that Lu
Chuan Liu, Governor of Kiang Su sent
a telegram on the 14th to the Southern
Viceroys and Governors, directing them
to forward all war funds to Shen ST.
But as an imperial decree was issued
on the 18th the departure, if it took
place at all, must have been subsequent
to that date.
81 have also learned from another re-
liable source that Princes Ching Yung
Lu and Kang vi are still in Pekin,
though Prince Tuan has followed the
Empress Dowager."
A telegram dated the goth from the
Japanese Foreign Office says:
THE Japanese Consul at Annoy tele-
graphic as follows on August 10TH
1T is reported from the interior that

several Christian chapels were destroy

ment appears to be spreading toward the
district of Chang Chou Flu. There do
not, however, seem to be any foreign
missionaries in the interior. -
Prince Ching, referred to as still at
Pekin, is the Chinese official most friend

who is said to have followed the Empress
is the head of the anti-foreign element.
