CHINESE AT... .\ [..ISSION
Two Englishmen and Six Jesuits
state department that the American
mission at Nanchang, in the province
of Kiangsi, had been destroyed.
Telegrams received from those points,
he said, stated that the 14 American
missionaries at that place escaped, but
the Kingham family, English, were re-
ported to have been killed.
A later cablegram from Mr. Rodgers
saps that the reports of the Nanchang
trouble are conflicting. It is now re-
ported to have originated in a dispute
between the French Jesuits and Chi-
nese officials. A Chinese magistrate
was at first reported to have been
stabbed by a Catholic missionary, but
it is now claimed that the magistrate
stabbed himself.
In the riot six Jesuits and two mem-
bers of the Kingman family were killed.
Chinese troops were protecting the for-
elgners. The refugees are going to
Kiukiang. The American mission
building is understood to have been
saved and order is now restored. Mr.
Rodgers adds that all is quiet in Shang-
hai.
Another dispatch from Mr. Rodgers
at the state department says that the
inland British missions are reported to
be safe.
WALL HID $20,000 CASH BOX
Cashier, Short Fifteen Years Ago, a
Suicide There.
Pittsburg, Pa. Feb. 26.—While en-
gaged in razing an old frame dwelling
house at 417 Larimer avenue, an Ital-
fan laborer discovered an old, worm-
eaten cigar box in a secret closet, that
when opened was found to contain
$20,000 in gold and paper money.
The workman turned the box and
its contents over to A. DeSimone, a
plumher of Larimer avenue, who had
purchased the property and was hav-
ing the house razed by day labor. Ef-
forts were made to deny that the treas-
ure had been found, but the fact was
confirmed by the workmen.
‘With the discovery of the money is
recalled the story that the house was
occupied many years ago by J. W.
Nolan, who was at that time cashier
of a large lumber concern in the East
End.
A sensation was created 15 years
ago by the announcement that Nolan
was short $20,000 in his accounts with
the lumber company. On the heels of
this announcement came the suicide
of Nolan in the house where the
money was found.
200,000 FARMERS WILL STRIKE
Demand Equitable Prices For All Agri-
cultural Products.
Indianapolis, Feb. 24.—A strike of
the 200,000 farmers composing the
American Society of Equity, an or-
ganization with headquarters in In-
dianapolis, has been called for March
1, it was announced. Every one who
responds to this call will agree to
withhold from market any agricultural
products except at prices that are up
to the level that has been decreed as
equitable by the officers of this or-
ganization.
The word is passing all through the
wheat-growing states, and the re-
sponse that is returned is said to be
causing considerable concern on the
part of the market men and specula-
tors. The Society of Equity says that
the producer ought to get at least $1
a bushel for wheat, no matter what
may be the size of the crop. The call
for the strike sets forth a minimum
selling price on all farm products.

Former Speaker of Congress Dies of
Paresis at Dubuque, la.
Dubuque, Ia, Feb. 26. — David B.
Henderson, formerly speaker of the
national house of representatives,
died at Mercy hospital of paresis,
which attacked him nine months ago.
Colonel Henderson began to sink om
Friday afternoon, rallied Saturday
morning, but in the afternocn lapsed
into unconsciousness and failed ra-
pidly until the end came. All of his
family except a son in California were
at the bedside, but Colonel Henderson
was unable to recognize any one but
his wife since a week ago, except on
Friday, when he partly regained his
mental faculties.
The former speaker failed rapidly
physically and mentally until Friday,
when his mental powers returned for
a few hours, followed by a relapse,
which ended in death.
No Clemency For Girl's Murderer.
Norfolk, Va., Feb. 27.—The supreme
court of appeals of Virginia, with all
of the judges concurring, has denied
a writ of error in the case of Captain
E. W. Jones, of the Virginia National
Guard, convicted of the murder of
Maude Cameron Robinson, formerly of
Selma, N. C., and given 18 years in
the penitentiary. This means that
Captain Jones must accept the sen-
tence of the jury in full unless, after
the expiration of half his sentence, he
should be allowed a conditional pardon
under the Virginia law governing such
pardons.

Washington, Feb. 27.—The Hepburn | Paint
railroad rate bill was reported to the
senate by Senator Tillman in accord-
ance with the action of the senate
in the galleries, anticipating a field

There was little of interest in the pre-

statement from Mr. Tillman, with the
necessary arrangement for printing
the report of the hearings before the
committee and a promise that a for
mal report would be made later,
followed by a few remarks from
Aldrich showing the position of
five Republicans who opposed the
as reported. Mr. Aldrich indicated that
there would be no unnecessary delay,
but that the bill would be discussed
in accordance with its importance.

Battling Nelson Stops Runaway.
Huntington, W. Va., Feb. 26.—Bat-
tling Nelson, the champion lightweight
pugilist, who is spending a few days
in the mountains at Blue Sulphur, near
here, prior to going into training at
Philadelphia, was painfully bruised in
stopping a runaway at that place, and
rescued Mrs. Frank Howard, with her
* | of the
two small children, from a perilous
situation. Mrs. Howard had taken the
children for a drive, and the horse,
becoming frighened, bolted and ran.
As the runaway neared Nelson, the pu- |
gilist leaped for the horse's neck and
succeeded in stopping it only after he
had been dragged a considerable dis-
tance. The bruises are not serious,
