MURDER OF CHRISTIANS .

PEKING, May 24th.-A Boxer who
saw the murder of Mr.. Chao, an
Evangelist of the London Mission,
and OF Mr.. Liu Chingyun, an in
quirer of the came Mission, gave the
following account Of the occurrence
to friend OF his in this city.
"On the 14th of the 4th moon
MAY 12) the Boxers, in number
about 80, were crossing the river
Tsz tsun, about 3 Ii from Kuugtsun,
when they met Mr.. Liu Chingyun.
They recognised him as one of the
adherents of the Christian Church
aud at once attacked him and
wounded him with their swords.
Then they took him and tied him
up securely to tree on the bank OF
the river. This done, they proceed
ed to the London Mission Chapel at
Kungtsun, found Mr.. Chao, the
Evangelist, bound his thumbs and
great toes tightly together and car
ried him to tree near to that on
which Mr.. Liu Chingyun was bound.
They then chopped off Mr.. Liu
Chingyun's arms, disembowelled
him, cut off his head and cast all
into the river. Afterwards all set
to work in fury, hacked Mr.. Chso
into pieces and threw the fragments
into the river Then they returned
to the Chapel at Kungtsun, looted
the furniture, smashed the inscrip-
tion-board to pieces aud went away.
l saw the Boxers friend who re-
counted this story and have no rea-
son to doubt that it is true.
Some of the Chapel furniture is
iu the possession OF people in
Kungtsun who were connected with
the affair, but the Magistrate of
Kuan, in whose district the murder
took place, has declined to notice
the matter. He did not even go TO
the blood-stained ground to see the
traces of the murder, nor endeavor
to recover the dismembered bodies.
The account received by the Rev.
t. Howard Smith, OF the London
Mission in Pekin, agrees in the main
with the above.
l met one OF the Christians who
being forewarned left the place the
day before the murders took place.
He says--I begged Mr.. Chao to
come away with me, but he resolute-
ly refused, saying, l was sent here
to work for the church and it is my
duty to stay. II l lose my life for
the sake of religion, l shall be con-
tent, and it will be an honour TO
my name.
The Christian who persuaded him
TO leave Kuntsun, told me that per-
sonally he felt unworthy of martyr.

spread to the fifth floor below and to

Women rushed out with their jewel

by the apparatus being present at

This compelled four alarms to be sent

after hard work succeeded in getting
it under control. Loss $40 1000.
