Ono afternoon last week a lady residing
on Market street was resting in bcr bed
room, when sho was startled by tho sudden
appearance of a strange woman who an
nounced that sho had come tn act as chll

dismissed. Tho woman entered the front
door, and deliberately walked up stairs and
into tho lady's room, passing one of tho
maids In the hall, who could not stop her.
Nobody kucw her and she has not been
seen since. It is believed that she is either

Editors Columbian,
Dear Sirs: The Commissioners' state
ment over tho signature of clerk Bodine,
dated August 6, 1890, purporting to bo the
yearly expenses, Indebtedness and assets
covering a period of 11 years was a llttlo
too late to pull tho old Board of Commis
sioners out of the mud.
The county statement of tho last Audi
tors' settlement should havo been quite suf
ficient, but it appear J that the old Board
did not feel secure under Its shelter.
It Is not out of placo to ask a few ques
tions concerning Bodlne's last statement
appealing to tbo votors and taxpayers of
Columbia county. If there is $11,703 08
in the treasury and tho expenses of last
year wero only $25,093.98 why did tho
Commissioners again levy 2 mills on tho
dollar valuation to meet current expenses?
What was tho motlvo for attempting to al
low such a large surplus to accumulato in
tho county treasury when timo aro so
depressing? From tho last statement it Is
evident 1 mills on tbo dollar valuation
would havo been quite f ulllcient, and had
that been levied the voters of Columbia
county would havo sustained the old
Board without a doubt. Tho people can
never appreciate reform until they can feel
it In their pocket books, Public officials
must learn to understand that tho moro
money they can leave among the people
tho better for both officers and people.
What wero tho Commissioners going to do
witb the surplus?

PBKSOXS UWU1IED.
The farm of U. U. Uulme lies Just this
side of tho village of Benton. Its broad
acres and fino buildings mado It tho ad
miration of all who passed. Bat it is now
a Bccno of devastation. On Tuesday aftor.
noon a cyclono demolished tho buildings.
It was seen by John S. Kliuo, who says it
was funnel shaped, growing largor at tho
op, coming to a point at the bottom, car
ylng up all that it touched. It was black
iside and bright outside. Mr. Kline ex
pected It to strike his buildings, but It pass
ed around. The tornado came toward the
northeast. Timber in its track was twisted
and torn out by tho roots. It struck Mr.
Hulmo's large barn and tore away the
north and south wings and unroofed near
ly all of tho main part; tore tho straw shed
to pieces and Jcoverod several cows up
with straw. The cows wero rescued un
hurt. Several horses were In tho barn,
and were not Injured, though It was a
couplo of days before tho debris could be
removed so that tho doors could bo opened
and tho horses removed. They wero wat
ered and fod in the meantime.
Tho ice house, and wagon houso were
demolished, and tho granary moved off,
Its foundation. Tho small buildings aro
all gone, the root was carried off the front
part of the house, but not of the kitchen.
Trees in front of the houso wo.c twisted
off, and one torn up by tho roots.
Seeing the storm coming, Mr. Hulmo's
mother went out to shut tho granary door,
when aho was caught by flying timber, and
ono leg was broken In two places, and her
head was cut. Bho is seriously Injured.
A girl living there had her anklo dls-
ocated. Dr. Gardner was called to attend
tho Injured.
It is impossible at this writing to esti
mate the damage. This was no doubt the
samo cyclono that passed on over tho
mountain and did so much damage at
Wllkes-Barre and other points.
Two Men Hacked by au Ax.
A. TERRIBLE ENCOUNTER WITH AN INDIONJ
HUSBAND.
Danville, August 17. A murderous aft
ray took placo In Danvlllo last night under
circumstances which show that t was ono
of tho most shocking that evor occurred In
Montour county. Two men were hacked
to pieces by an enrazed husband in resent
ing an indignity to his wife. For a time
the wildest excitement prevailed, but
the facts connected with the case develop.
cd themselves, public opinion has gono in
sympathy with John Mlnlnles, the perpc.
trator of the crime. Mlnlnles is now
in jail awaiting tho result of tho
hearing, which is to decide whethor ho can
bo admitted to bail or not to await action
of court.
The affair took place lu a sparsely popu.
lated portion of tho city and very little of
the tac' are known. Frank Schuraski
and Patrick Monahan, the victims, wero
about town unl'l a lato hour. They had

samo direction as Minlnics lived. Upon
nearlng the residence of tho latter they
stopped and mado somo nnlso which at
tracted tho attention of Minlnics, who ap
peared in tbo door followed by his wife.
A DEBl-ERATE F.QIIT.
One of the men told her to go In and
mind her own business, as their interflow
was Intended for bcr husband. This sho
refused to do, and then one of the men
took the lamp which her husband held
and flung It at her. A fierce struggle en

Mt Dear Mother:
Hero wo ate at this Interior station of
tho American Board about 80 miles from
Cho nan too, waiting for Mr. Murray's
whcol-barrow, which ho promised to havo
here for us by this morning at latest, but
which up to this hour, 4 o'clock, has failed
to appear. Wo are very much , disappoint
ed at tho delay, as wo aro moro than anxl -ous
to get to our destination before It gets
any hotter. Wo got away from Tientsin
a week ago last Thursday by nattvo boat,
llko tho one I wroto father from, going up
to Tung Cho, and with my trunk, ono sea
trunk, bags, lunch baskets, a small table,
a stool and rocking chair, It Is so closo and
crowded as to bo rather confining on a
rainy day, and woefully hot whon tho sun
shines. Wo wero delayed at Tientsin near,
ly a day after wo woro ready to leavo ow.
ing to a mlstako In my passport which had
to bo corrected, and after wo got started
wo had such stray hoad winds and a day
of rain, that wo had a most tedious, tire
somo trip, not reaching this placo for dis
embarkation until naon of last Baturday.
Wo had accompanying us another boat
carrying somo of our housohold goods. By
the timo wo had gotten most of our goods
packed on wheelbarrows, and tho rest stor
ed away to await future o'dors, it was half
past six In tho evening, but notwithstand
ing tho lateness of tho hour wo determined
to tako a cart for this place, 45 11 south ( a
11 Is I of a mile ) as wo wero both so sick
of our boat, and of tho fusi and worry con
nected with moving our things that wo
were anxious to get away from foreigners
and spend a quiet, comfortable Sunday.
We had a very plucky mule and a good
naturcd carter, and moonlight until mid
night, but the man lost his way so often it
was ono o'clock in tbo morning when wo
reached hero very tired indeed, but glad to
get to bed In a foreign home, away from
such closo contact with tho Chinese. Mis.
Murray had Invited us to stay with her,
and oven at that unseasonable hour gavo
us a warn welcome. Sho is ono of our
missionaries in Cho nan foo, but staying
here temporarily keeping house tor Mr.
and Mrs. Smith who aro at Shanghai at
tending a missionary conference. By morn
ing wo were somewhat rested and prepar
ed to enjoy a very pleasant, quiet Sabbath,
In marked contrast to our two last Sun
days, which wero both spent on native
boats. I know of nothing uoro dreary
than a Bunday on a houso boat anchored
to a canal bank, or in a Chinoso Inn, so
that yesterday was all tho moro refreshing
In comparison with our previous cxpor'cB
ccs. Whilo at Pang Chwang wo woro
entertained at lunch and dinner by Dr.
and Mrs. McCluro. Mrs. McCluro was form
erly Mrs. Balrd of Canton, and Dr. Mc
Cluro a bcotchman of about my own age,
who belongs to tho Canadian Presbyterian
Mission. They aro both very pleasant.
His mission Is having a very tedious,
wearisome time trying to securo a foot
hold In Uorean, and tho prospects aro far
from bright for the futuro, as the people,
or rather the officials, are very much op
posed to them and anxious to prevent
their getting in at all. Horcan Is said to
bo ono of the most hostilo provinces in
China, to foreigners. This station of Pang
Chwang is unique among mission stations,
being located in a village of probably less
than a thousand Inhabitants (Instead of In
a city, as is usually tho case) rl ;ht in the
midst of this great plain of China . Wo
did not see-tho sign of a hill in all our trip
from Tientsin, or rather from Pck'ng all
the way here, and hero nothing but a flat
surface everywhere is to be 'seen. All the
work of this station lies around within
easy reach, the farthest being only 30 miles
away, a moderate day's journey; their
membership amounts to four iundred. All
their foreign buildings are together in one
compound, thero being three foreign ono
story dwelling houses, a church, and dls.
pensary and hospital; tbo medical work
being very large, tho people coming long
distances for treatment. Thero aro regu
larly two doctors stationed here, beside
several other missionaries, among them
two sisters, tho Misses Wychoff, who
came out nearly thrco years ago. Wo
shall not now get to Cho nan foo before
Thursday, nnd if tho barrow Is delayed,
or we have rain, not until later. We aro
getting very tired of traveling, our experi
ence in coming up stream in a houso boat
being most wearisome. Tho heat during
the first thrco days from Tientsin nas most
excessive but was modcratod by rain on
Monday, our progress was so slow we
seemed to lie fairly crawling, tho wind
being favorable only ono day. Wo have
been gone now forty one days from Tung
Chow and only thirteen havo b;en entirely
free from travel, 23 wo havo traveled cither
more or less, except two Sundays.
Cub Nan Foo, Baturday, May 31st,
Wo reached hero yesterday morning In
time for breakfast, having been detained
half a day only forty II from tho city by
very hleh wind, which prevented our
crossing the Yollow river until nearly
o'clock, consequently wo were compelled
to spend another night in a Ohineso inn
which was anything but agreeable ; tho
Inns, in which wo spent our three nights
being about the worst I havo ever seen.
Tho second and third night we wero in the
region which had been overflowed by the
Yellow Itlvcr, and the room we wero offer
ed was so damp and so dark, having only
a small window, that in preference we bad

night we slept in a room without a door,
on a bed made up In tbo same way as that
of tho night before By the timo we
reached hero our patience was almost ex
hausted, for we never havo been so tired
of Cblneso travel and never moro disgusted
with its Inconveniences as on this trip; of
courso our going to Peking and thenco to
the Great Wall, mado it by far tho longr ,t
trip wo have ecr taken, and wo bad to
many delays that we reached here about a
week later than we had planned or. Wo
enjoyed our wheelbarrow experience,
wo could thus be together, sitting on op
posite sides of the b .rrow, and could read
to each other and talk all wo wanted to,
Wo read Bcott's "Fair Maid of Perth" be
tween Pang Chwang and hero. We camo
dtrectly hero to Mr. Chaltant's, where we
shall bo several days until we can get our
own houso in order. I went to call on all
our fellow missionaries yesterday, and In
tho afternoon Mrs. Neal and I took a look
over our new promise I. Tho home wo aro
to havo in Che nan foo Is tho least dcslra

even tho old templo in Tung Chow was
