HOW THE MISSIONARIES DIED.
Shocking Details OF the Chinese
Massacre At Lien Chow.

Letters have been received by
friends in this neighborhood from
Mrs. J. r. Peale, dated the day
previous to the massacre in which
she states that she believed there
was trouble ahead, as the Chinese
were watching them very closely,
even going so far as to throw
searchlights upon chem at night.
The letters are short and are writ
ten in a disheartening strain, show
ing plainly that when Mrs. Peale
saw the true condition of affairs in
China it was entirely different from
what had been anticipated. Mrs.
Peale's former letters to her friends
had been of extreme length and
abounded in hope and cheer.
Recent dispatches from Hong
kong give the following details of
the massacre
CDR. Machle, the American mis-
sionary who escaped the massacre
at Lien. chou, adds horrifying de-
tails of the atrocities committed on
the American women. When the
disturbances began the mob seized
Miss Chestnut and Mrs. Machle and
exposed them to public view in the
Chinese Temple. Amy Machle,
the Doctors 1O-year old child, was
carried off and flung alive into the
river. The rioters stripped Miss
Chestnut naked and flung her into
the river. While the two were
struggling in the water three Chi
namen speared them with tridents.
Miss Chestnut's body and Amy
Machle's head were pierced. Mrs.
Machle appealed to the rioters, but
the mob stoned her brains out,
stripped the body and flung it into
the river. The mob then captured
Mr.. and Mrs. Peale, stripped them
naked, exposed them for fifteen
minutes, dubbed Mr.. Peale to
death in his wife's presence, and
subsequently killed Mrs. Peale in
the same brutal manner"

Susquehanna and Elk River I'm
provement.

Chief of Engineer Alexander
Mackenzie in his report on river
and harbor improvements, makes
the following mention of work il
the Susguehanna and Elk river
The existing project for the Sus
quehanna river at Havre de Grace
is to give a channel Is feet deep a
mean low water below Havre dc
Grace and to remove the shoal
opposite Watson Island, above
Havre de Grace, to a depth of s
feet at the same stage of the tide,
at an estimated cost of $168, 900.
The amount expended on that pro-
iect to June 80, 1905, was $50, 500,
and resulted in dredging a portion
of the channel below Havre de
Grace to depth of Is feet at mean
low water and partially removing
the shoal opposite Watson Island.
With the funds now available il
is proposed to remove the balance
of the shoal opposite Watson Is
land and to continue dredging in
the channel on the shoal about
1000 feet below Havre de Grace.
The maximum draft that can be
carried at mean low water over the
shoalest part of the channel under
improvement is IL feet. The
stream is navigable to Port Deposit,
about five miles above the mouth
of the river.
The River and Harbor bill OF
March last carried an appropria-
ton of $1,000 for the maintenance
of the Elk river. 1t is proposed
to expend this sum in removing
shoals that have formed in the
channel, dredging to begin at the
fertilizer works and continue down
stream. The amount expended on
this improvement to June 20, 1905,
is $63, 1875, of which $46,500 was
on previous projects. The max
imum draft that can be carried at
mean low water over the shoalest
part of the river is 81 feet. The
stream is navigable to Elkton,
about 16 miles from the mouth of
the river.
