TJLJJU SUK ANTON THUiliiN M-SATl 1UJA1, JUJjl 28, 11)1)0. ft LACKAWANNA COUNTY. CARBOBBALE. CARBONDALE GIRL MURDERED. Sadness possessed the home of Mr. nnd Mrs. V. K. Friable, of Halent ave nue, Inst evening, when their atten tlon was called to a dispatch In the New York Sun, which mentioned innonc the victims of a massacre In Southern China the names of Dr. and Mrs. Vanderburg. Mrs. Vanderburg, who was Miss Letta Ueoman, is an adopted daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frlsblo She was for several ycats a popular teacher In the public schools of this city and a prominent worker In tho Presbyterian church. About three years ago she went to China and took up missionary work with her husband. They were stationed about ninety miles Inland on tho Island of Hainan In the China sea. The last letter received In this city, written by the doctor, was dated June 7, 1900, and was In part as follows: "Tho thieves haven't killed us all oft yet Week ago Monday we had an awful scare and Kleanor (Mrs. Van derburg) was as cool as a cucumbnr. I was so glad to llnd that she could go through a siege like that so well. The soldiers came over at 1.30 n. m Just after midnight, and aroused us nil up and said: "The thieves are coming!" "Tho thieves are coming!" "Wo all grabbed what we could of clothing for the children and went over to tho old house by previous arrange ment, as tho old house Is consider able of a fort. Then I got oil tho ser vants and coolies I could get together, about six, and carried boards upstairs and placed them around the veranda to form a defense, from behind which we could shoot. Then I got some medicine, etc., and went back with my sword, gun and pistol and waited. "But the thieves tho soldiers had seen had other objects In view. They passed hero and went and plundered a large village near by, taking away all the cows and pigs, and even their chickens. They have been doing this for some time In here, and the thieves seem to be nearly as strong as the soldlerB In numbers. We have alt written to Holhon to ask tho English consul to send In more soldiers. They have answered that more are coming In soon, so we hope to hear that they will be on their way In a day or two. "The head men of this band of thieves are men who have a price on their heads, and have to plunder for a living, as trhey are outlaws some from here and some from the mainland, who know of the small garrison In hero and take advantage of It. But these times are awfully hard on tho natives who won't Join these Boxers or Triads. As soon as they are asked they have to meet and pay the thieves for protection. If they don't, their homes are plundered. The officials get after them and such poor fellows who had Joined for protection are easily caught by the officers, and so It makes It either a frying pan or a fire for the people when these plunderers get started. "Two years ago I thought they were most all beheaded, but it seems to be as usual that the worst of them es caped. May God help tho Christians. Their lot Is the hardest. They have brought their valuables, except their cows, up hero and now ask us for guns, which we cannot give them, and this makes them lose faith in us as friends, T fear, for they don't under stand the treaties." REV. MR. WHALEN'S VACATION. The pastor of the Berean Baptist church will be out of the city during all of August, but all the regular ap pointments of tho church will be main tained.

There In only one prize to be drawn, and it consists of the entire turn yielded by the sale of the tickets, amounting to 5.000 rubles, topethcr with the lady as described as of noble blood, The tickets arc sold only to males, and the lucky winner of the prise will have to marry the damsel It he takes tho 6,000 rubles. If, however, he be already married, he is at liberty to turn over the money and the lady to any friend whom he may wish to put In for such a good thing. If the winner should be willing to marry but is not found to be to the damsel's taste, then they are to bo excused from matrimony and permitted to divide the rubles, It Is not hard to Imaglno a condition of if fvlrs where the lady in the case refuses her chosen lord and prefers to take tho cash, decid ing that 2,500 rubles Is more to be delred than a more or less doubtful happiness with a hus band of whom she knows, nothing, Cincinnati Commer( Ial-Ti Ibune.
