MASSACRE CONES TO LIGHT
A Missionary and His Household
Murdered in Africa.

Washington, Dec. 29.-Minister Lyon
has reported to the state department
from Monrovia, Liberia, under date of
November last, the details of the
massacre in the depths of an African
forest of a white missionary named
John G. Tate, with all of his following,
eighteen in number. 1t appears that the
massacre took place as far back as
March Is, 1901, yet this, the first detailed
account has just come to hand in an
affidavit by Mrs. Mary L. Allen,
white missionary at Nouna Kroo, Ii
IBERIA. She had the story from some of
the killing. Mr.. Tate had a. large mis-
sion and farm and besides he main
tanned a considerable school in the jungle
and altogether nineteen people We're in
the mission when it was surrounded in
the night by the Docs. The first man
who answered a knock at the door was
shot. The interpreter was next shot
and as Tate appeared and tried to pro-
tect the body of the Interpreter he too
was shot and cut to pieces. The Docs
then killed all the remaining inmates of
the house, cut off their hands and p1ac-
ing the bloody members in a coffin, sent
them back to their people as trophies
In explanation of their action the Docs
said:
I'VE have no fight with the white
will bring his country to make war
upon u.s.
Minister Lyon on the strength of this
affidavit communicated with the Ii
berian secretary of state, with a view
to securing fuller information and per
haps the punishment of the perpetrators
OF the massacre.

The three days session OF the thirty

Horticultural society opened this morn

and discussions, as the present officers
will hold over for another year. By

fruit is expected to be arranged in the
corridors of the capitol building, but
it has not yet made it's appearance.
This fruit. or most of it, will go to the

plans are anticipated for the Thursday
evening programme. About fifty MEM

SEWER is LOST.
Only Part of That in Auburndale
Can Be Found.
Report Recommends That 1t Be
Left Alone.
NEW MAIN IN POTWIN.
Suggests That Old LateraIs BE
Left as They Are.
What City Engineer and Street
Commissioner Found.
NEW MAIN IN POTWIN.

City Engineer McCabe and Street
Commissioner Snyder have completed
their report to the city council on the
condition of the Potwin and Auburn
dale sewer systems.
They recommend to the council that
no sewer be built in Auburndale, be-
cause of the fact that there is little
city water there. They also recommend
that the sewer main through Potwin be
replaced with a large main, but suggest
that the present Potwin laterals may
be kept in service for a while longer,
until the district becomes more densely
populated.
As result of this report, it is prob
able that the Sixth ward councilmen
who are booming the sewer project for
that part of town will change their
plans considerably. They will probably
try to arrange things so that Potwin
and Auburndale will be included in q
benefit district by themselves to pay
part of the cost of the big brick sewer
main to the river. while the rest of the
district, where the laterals are laid,
at some future time, Potwin and Au-
burndale can build laterals and connect
with the sewer main.
Part of the Auburndale sewer is lost
or never was built. The city engineer
has had a force of men hunting for it,
and the only consolation he has been
able to get is the statement of some of
the people living out there that the
sewer was not built as shown on the
plat fled at the time of its construction.
So Mr.. McCabe has gone ahead and
constructed a new plat, showing as
nearly as possible, the exact location
and size of the worthless Auburndale

II believe that the sum of $4,000
which I understand is promised for the
horticultural display at the Worlds
fair will be scarcely adequate and is
apparently out of proportion to the
same amount allowed n1ineraIogy. Min
erals need be gathered but once: and
do not require constant attention or
daily rep1enishing; and may be worth
all their cost afterward; while fruit
must be bought, carefully selected ana

and cleaned and replenished on the ta-
bles daily; requiring more help and at
tention; and is finally total loss; all

EFFECT OF RECIPROCITY.
Sugar, Tobacco and Cigars Come Out
of Bond.

New York Dec. 29-Customs Off
Gals at this port are busy making col
lections on sugar and tobacco stored in
the bonded warehouses, under the Gu
ban reciprocity treaty, which has just
become effective. Under the new reg
ulations, there is a reduction of 20 per
cent in the duty on sugar, tobacco and
other Cuban staples coming into the
United States.
The withdrawal of cigars in bond
after the new duty has been paid were
particularly heavy. as most of the deal
ers had been carrying light stocks in
anticipation of the change, and were
pretty thoroughly cleaned out by the
Christmas trade. They are now re-
stocking for the new years sales with
20 per cent advantage.
The sugar Withdrawals amounted to
about $4,000 tons. There was compare
lively little sugar stored in the bonded
warehouses as the importers did not
know previously that the sugar could
be withdrawn at the lower rate. For
that reason the great bulk of raw
sugar has been held back in Cuba.

probably will not result in cheaper
sugar until spring.
