A TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE ESCAPING DEATH ONLY TO DIE OF FEVER The Hunt of Mr. Charles Peters, and the Result—Further Travels of Bishop Taylor’s Party of Missionaries—Sad Ordeals, But Unfaltering Courage. The Balimore American has the following letter from St. Paul De Loando, Angola, Africa: Bishop Taylor ->nd Messrs. Teter and Burr arrived at Leopoldville, at the southwestern corner of Stanley Pool, with out meeting delay or serious accident after leaving Lukunga. Leopoldville is a small settlement, planted by Stanley and named by him for his patron, the King of Belgium. Borne English Baptist missionaries are located there, among them being the Rev. George Grenfel, who has become famous for bis extended explorations in the Congo basin. Mr. Grenfel has charge of a small steamer, and, after waiting a few days at Leopoldville, the Bishop was taken on board and carried np the Pool twenty miles to Kimpoko. This was formerly the government station, and the missionaries were installed in the build ing left vacant by the ollieials. It is a healthy locality, commanding a magnificent view of the Pool, neighboring lulls and distant mountains. Pending the arrival of his Other missionaries, the Bishop and his com panions did the same kind of work at Kim poko that he had done elsewhere. They repaired their house, tore up the ground with long steel hoes, planted various kinds of vegetables, and established a school with out waiting to get settled. But more than this, and more than he had done before, was the construction of a canal, which the Bishop usually refers to as a “ditch.” Not far from the house occupied by him at the Pool is a small river "that comes down from the mountains and empties into the pool. It is thirty feet wide where it passes through the mission farm. The soil of the farm is not so rich as in other places where the Bishop had planted stations, and it was clear to him as a practical farmer, that irrigat ion would more than double its value. So he and his companions dug a “ditch,” by which water from the river is carried all over their banana orchard, plan tation field, and the rest of the arable land. The channel thus made had to be cut eight inches deep in the shallowest portions, and upwards of six feet in the deepest. Its total length is 4,330 feet, and the Bishop pro poses that this year it be enlarged and lengthened so as to make part of it into a mill race with a fall of twenty feet. It need hardly be said that NOTHING LIKE BISHOP TAYLOR has been seen before this in Central Africa. Day after day the Bishop waited and worked on, looking for his friends, whom he ex pected to arrive within two weeks after him. A month passed by, when one of the mis sionaries was seen tramping wearily about the Kimpoko fields with a native guide. The Bishop ran up to him and found that he was Lyman B. W alker. He had come thus far w'ith Mr. Grant Cameron, and the others were somewhere en route, with the excep tion of 0119 who hail died on the way. They had the utmost difficulty in traversing the route, followed by the Bishop, meeting with numerous adven tures, delays and accidents. Caravans bad been attacked by robbers; the carriers bad deserted them; some of the people had fallen sick, and things went diseouragingly generally. Cameron had remained by the dock at Kimpoko landing, while Walker set off through the fields to find the Bishop. The Bishop, however, cheered up his footsore comrades, set them to work with his long hoes, impressed them into ditch digging, and together they entered upon another season of waiting. A month and a half more passed, apd the time was full of perplexities and trouble for tbe Bishop. He could get no word whatever of his absent colleagues. He could not construct his schooner, be cause the materials were still on the way. And, worst of all, he learned from Mr. Greh fel and others familiar with the Kassai and its tributaries, that the rivers, though nttvigabie, were altogether too crooked to make sailing practicable. Nothing ing would do but a steamboat. There were only two little steamers on the Upper Congo— one Grenfel’s boat, the “Peace"—and no way of using them, for love or money, as the bishop had learned in Belgium, when he vainly endeavored to gain from the govern ment a passage on his boat for one man only. The bishop was sadly troubled, and most men in his situation would have been inclined to give up the Kassai scheme. But not Bishop Taylor. If a steamboat were necessary, why, nothing simpler, he would get a steamboat. Simple enough solution of the problem. A steamboat such as he need ed would cost only $30,000 to build in Eng land and transport in sections to the Pool. Twenty thousand dollars and a year’s time, Well, the bishop DETERMINED TO GET IT. But he must wait until he had settled his people in comparative comfort and safety before he could leave them, and meantime several of them seemed to be lost. They came at last, and while waiting for them the Bishop hail, and accepted, an opportun ity to display another side of nis varied and energetic character. A famine set in at the other end of the Pool. No cassava was to be had. Cassava is, like wheat, the staple article of food. The government employes at Leopoldville could not be fed, the nearest market for supplies being BSma, hundreds of miles distant overland journey. Accord ingly, most of them had been discharged, the force being cut down from sev eral hundred to less than fifty. The Baptists were removing from Ixx>- pbldville, which is exceedingly unhealthy, to Kinshassa, a town on higher ground a few miles further east. Mr. Grenfel had two or three hundred nntivos in his employ, building dock,# and houses, and ho found himself unublo to supply them with food. Bo he sent up to Kimpoko for “quangos” of cassava. A “quanga” is a five-pouiul loaf of cassava bread. The famine did not affect the Kimpoko region, and cassava could be procured in great quantities. Moreover, it was the center to which interior traders brought their produce for sale, and it was from them that Mr, Grenfel exjiected to obtain his supplies; but, the Bishop called one or two of his associates from the field, and set thorn up in the business of procuring quanga from the native makers, to compete with the traders of the interior. He was able, by the saving of freightage, to sell it to the Baptists at a low price, anil consequently had substan tially a monopoly of the business. The “Peace” came up regularly for loads of the Bishop’s cassava bread, and the business flourished. One by ouo the other mission aries appeared, aiid the Bishop at last lolt them to go down to the coast, again, and to England, for the purpose of getting u steam boat. He traveled with only a native guide for a companion. The 335 miles from Leopoldville to the head of navigation of the Congo he made IN TWELVE DAYS. This is six days better than it was ever done by a white man before, and Bishop Taylor is 01} yoars old. When the Bishop hail started from Matadi for Stanley Pool With Messrs. Burr and Teter, the people loft behind occupied themselves mainly in get ting acclimated. Hardly one of them es caped a touch of the African fever, as the re mit of some indiscretion in the way of over; exertion. The temptation to find out some thing about, the new and straago land they had come to was irresistible for most of them. They cither took walks among the bills and along the river banks, or explored the town studying the habits 9f the natives, or wont hunting. Among those who took up the latter form of recreation and study was Mr. iharles Peters. Early in the morning of fe sixth day after the Bishop’s departure • set out with his gun for the hills to the utheast of the village. Up to that time he M comparatively cool and the air bracing, e progressed at a rapid pace until he was veral miles away from oamp. He saw loy nnirpefr of various Kinds, but foreboro to shoot for the mere sake of killing. He wanted to find a hare or a rabbit or two to ta-mg home for the cook to serve at dinner. He had inquired of the natives about the “Voting grounds ami tho possibilities of different kinds of game in the neighbor hood. They had told him that gazelles and antelopes were plentiful on the southern lulls, and when he found himself at the base of the ridge, he made up ins mind to have that kind of game or none. Accordingly, with that in view, he began the ascent of the hills. They would be called moun tains in almost any other part of the world, for many of the peaks tower to a height of J,OOO to 5,000 feet above the sea level. The hill that Peters chose to climb was one of the rockiest and most precipitous. It took him upward of two hours to arrive at the summit. By the time he was half way up, he had forgotten his desire for game in the exhilirating work of mountain climbing. The view expanded before him, and in- ( creased his desire to see it all. The summit reached, he spent a half hour or more rest ing and enjoying the prospect. The chain of hills continued far to the south, with many peaks higher than that on which he stood, but the view to the northwest was uninterrupted for a long distance. Alter a while his thoughts returned to the object of his hunt, and he began to think of game again. He made up his mind to descend the ridge to the north, and thus give variety to his return home. He had gome but a short distance from the summit when he saw an animal bounding along over the rocks, a quarter of a mile below. He said, when he told about his hunt that evening, that he believed the animal to be AN ANTELOPE, and he made for it without delay. It was going in an easterly direction, and Peters, accordingly, changed his course, in order to get ahead of it, if possible. He scrambled down the pathless rooks as fast as ho could go, until he saw that the antelope had come to a standstill. It stood face away from him, perfectly still. It was yet so far dis tant that Peters did not venture a shot, and he crept cautiously down towards it. He had come within two hundred and fifty yards when the ante lope turned slowly about and faced him. There was neither rock nor thicket near to conceal him, and following his excited im pulse, ho raised his gun and took careful aim. The animal gave him ample time to do this, but the distance was so great that Peters was not at all sure of hitting the mark. When he fired he saw the antelope spring into the air and stagger forward. He believed he had succeeded fully, and started forward at as fast a run as the steep descent would allow. But the antelope seemed to recover from the shot or shock, whatever it might be, and set off on a run also. Peters was excited and Kept up the pursuit. The antelope ran along the side of a hill, while the hunter ran down. In this way he really gained somewhat on his prey, and was soon able to see that he had wounded the animal. He did not see that what made it run along the side of the hill was the fact that it was skirting the top of a tremendous precipice, a sheer descent of bore wall more than 1,000 feet from top to bot tom. The hills in this vicinity are not so high that vegetation is scant on the sum mits; it is different from that in the valleys, but thick enough in spots where the rock has soil enough for roots to grow. There was a clump of bushes and small trees on the very edge of the precipice at one point, and it was toward this that the antelope was making. It was evidently getting weak from the loss of blood, and Peters kept his eves upon it as he ran, and he note*! the clump of bushes, and feared lest his game should get out of sight of them. He had almost caught up with the antelope, when it disappeared among the trees. Peters hastened all the more rapidly, and it was not until he was within a rod of the brink that he realized to what he was approach ing. He had been watching the game so closely that he had not seen what otherwise would have been most evident. It gave him something of a start to see tliat there was A CHASM YAWNING BEFORE HIM, and he instinctively slackened his speed. In so doing his foot loosened a small stone, and, tripping on it, he was pitched forward at a greater impetus than his run had given him. It was impossible to stop. At the edge of the precipice he grasped wildly at what seemed to lie a bush, and was hurled into it. He felt it give way beneath his weight, and he let go liis gun and seized the trank of the bush or tree with both hands. Down he went, it seemed to him, forty feet or more. Then the tree swung up again under the influence of its own elasticity. He hung on for life, and up and down he swayed as the tree gradually settled into a stationary position. He saw that ho was mistaken about the distance through which he had sunk on his first de scent, but that failed to cheer him. The tree was rooted in a shelf of rock about 10 feet below the top of the ledge, and its top branches coming perhaps the same distance above the edge had made it look like a bush. He had hold of the trunk within ti feet of the very top, and he could see that Ins w eight made a tremendous strain upon the tree. It was evidently an exceedingly supple wood, for it bent down so far that it pointed out from the rock at almost right angles. All these observations jiassed through bis mind in the same flash in which he thought out a plan for escape from HIS PERILOUS POSITION. Before the strain on his arms should grow too great, he determined to pull himself up as athletes do upon a horizontal bar, and get astride of the trunk, and then work his way along the base. He could not do this, how ever, without causing the ti-ee to sway up and dowm again, and when he had managed to throw bis leg over the trunk he found himself in imminent danger of slipping off. The tree quivered and shook at every mo tion, and it occurred to him a question how long it would stand the repeated strains before it would tear away at the roots and send him crashing down after his gun. He had to change his tactics. Carefully he let himself down again until he was in his original position, hanging on to the trunk above his head. Then he with the greatest difficulty made his way tow ard the roots by a han‘d-over-hand process. The chief obstacles were the twigs and branches that got in his way. But every inch for ward let the tree regain a little of its nor mal position, and eventually, when he was about half tho way towards the roots, it became nearly upright, and he was but a little below the level of the edge of the cliff. He reached out to the rock and succeeded in getting a hold upon tho very edge. By this vantage he drew himself front tho tree to the solid earth again and sank down ut terly exhausted. He found, of course, that his nerves had been badly shocked, and it was a consider able time before he recovered sufficient strength to proceed on his way. As he re • gained his spirits, he felt some curiosity to see what had become of the antelope. He went into tho thicket, on the edge of the cliff, and surmised, from the traces of blood on the rooks, that the animal had become too exhausted to keep its foot, and had staggered and fallen over tho precipice. Not far from the spot he found a way to get down, and he made a descent without diffi culty. Then he went along tho hill, at tho bottom of the precipice, looking for his gun. It was thick with trees at the spot directly under the shelf, from which he had so nar rowly escaped falling. ESCAPING TO DIE. He looked tho ground over in vain for anv trape of his weapon, but glancing into a tree ho chanced to see it- lodged m the branches, and saw, not thirty yards aw’ay an immensh panther standing over the mangled body of his antelope. The panther was evidently making a meal of it, and was now on the defensive, for the snarl came from another lieast of .the same tribe, who appeared creeping forward a few yards dis tant In an instant both had crouched, and in another they had sprung upon each other furiously, and were engaged in a death straggle. Peters watched thorn excitedly until one had put his teeth through the other’s throat, and stood victorious and snarling above tho bleeding foe. W hethor it vii the ono which had originally secured the antelope Peters could not decide, THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, JUNE 2°. 1887. but it turned to the carcass and began to finish it. The amateur hunter knew not what to do. He dared not get down from tho tree, tis he was not sure that his gun was in sound condition. It seemed that he must either wait till the pannier had •finished his meal ami gone away, which might lie hours, for aught he knew, or try and shoot him from the tree. If ho suc ceeded in killing the dangerous fellow, he could get down and go home in comparative safety. He chose the latter alternative. Tho panther was in close range and an easy target. The gun proved to be in good con dition, and when the smoke cleared away, Poters saw the panther quivering helplessly over the body of the antelope. The hunt, so full of adventure and narrow esca|>e from violent death, had a most un happy sequel. The exertion proved alto gether too much for Peters. He reached the camp not long after sundown, weary, faint and nervous. He fell at once into, a high fever, and before noon the following day he died. MRS, CLEVELAND’S REQUEST. She Asks President Frisbte to Let Her be Frank Folsom Once More. From the Ifete York World Aurora,, N. Y., June Iv). —The second day of Mrs. Cleveland's visit at Wells College was as uneventful as its predecessor. “For a few days let me be Frank Folsom again,” she said to the venerable President, “and make no more display than you were accustomed to in the good old days when I was a student of the institution.” In accordance with her wishes she mingles with tho undergraduates in the par lore and hails and sits with them at the big table in the basement, as though she was actually one of their number again. • A desultory drizzle which commenced early in the morning led Mrs. Cleveland to think that the quiet of her apartments would be preferable to a drive to the Presbyterian cnurch in the village, which is usually attended by the students in a body, but she finally concluded to brave the rainstorm and entered the college “bus” with her old companions. Notwithstanding the rain, when she reached the church the walks were lined with an expectant throng, who hail antici pated her arrival. President Frisbie bore himself very proudly as he escorted her from the “bus” to the vestibule. Precisely as was her custom during her four years of student life, Mrs. Cleveland tripped up the aisle with the other girls to the seats beside the pulpit and alternately waved a long palm leaf and joined in singing the hymns announced by the pastor, Rev. Dr. Wells. The sermon was addressed to the graduat ing class of the Cayuga Lake Military Acad emy, and the music by the academy quar tette reflected much credit on their instruc tor, Prof. Roliand. Following a precedent established years ago the members of the graduating class of Wells College, accompanied by their parents, .dined with the faculty, and Mrs. Cleveland did the honors, dressed in black silk with jet trimming. In the evening, accompanied by Misses Kingsford, Alexander and Severance, of the class of 'B5, Mrs. Cleveland drove to the church to listen to the baccalaureate sermon by Dr. Frisbie. She occupied her old seat under the pulpit. She wore white colored silk with gold trimmings and bonnet to match. When Mrs. Cleveland and her former classmates, Misses Kingsford, Alexander and Severance, reached Aurora they ex pected that one of the most pleasant features of their brief stay would be the presenta tion of a handsome diamond ring to their for mer preceptress, Miss Helen P. Smith. Mrs. Cleveland had the ring carefully laid away in her trunk, and had oeen, requested by the other ladies to make the presentation. Sud denly one of the party suggested that any thing attempted on Friday was sure to end unfortunately, and at Mi's. Cleveland’s re quest the presentation was delayed until after midnight, wlien it was made amid much hilarity and with many well-wishes. On Monday evening a concert will be given under the auspices of the Castalia Quartette, of New York, formerly of Buffalo, where it became familiar to lovers of classi cal music as the Dannreuther Quartette. Tuesday morning, at 10 o’clock, the ela rs day exercises will take place, when the essays of the graduating class will be read, interspersed with musical selections. The Jtnembers of the graduating class are Miss Addie Kenyon, of \Y averly, N. Y.; Miss Dorothy Lyon, of Meadvilie, Pa.; Miss Martha Steel, of Springfield, O.; Miss Jessie Stevens, of Neenab, Wis., and Miss Florence Wells, of Clinton, la. THE CASH GIRL LUNCHES WELL. Then the Detective Thinks She has Been Stealing and Looks After Her. Fi'Om the New York Sun. A stout, well-dressed man sauntered into the lunch room connected with one of the up-town dry goods stores the other day. His keen blue eyes took in the occupants of the room, but he seemed to be entirely oc cupied with his thoughts as he stood at one of the windows, apparently looking out into the street. A little cash girl came into the room and sat down at one of the tables reserved for employes. In a moment she was joined by another cash girl, and this conversation en sued: “Mary,” said the first little girl, “what are you going to have for lunch?” “I am going to have a sandwich and a glass of milk,” replied Mary. “Oh, I am going to have more than that,” said the first girl, with a nod, “my mother gave me a quarter to spend for lunch.” The stout man did not appear to pay any attention to this conversation, but when the two girls hail finished and gone away he walked up to the waiter and asked: “What did Lillie Gorman buy?” “She bought chicken salad and ice cream,” replied the waiter. “How much did it cost?” “Thirty cents,” was the reply. The stout man nodded, and, leaving the room, walked down stairs to where the cash girls were busily floating around. Quickly singling out the’one he was in search of, he called her aside into a room which was fitted up like an office. “Now, Lillie.” he said, “I want you to toll mo where you got the money to pay for your expensive raneu to-day.” Lillie turned all the colors of the rain Low, but, assuming au air of innocence, said: “I got it from my mother.” “Very well,” said the s tout Where does your mother live? I am-to sec her and ask her about it.” The little rogue was.no w ened and burst into tears. in terval she confessed that she the money from a parcel. Hl™ a severe talking to, after which she was taken before tho superintendent and dis charged. “Those young ones are the torment of my life,” said the detective to tho reporter. “Many of them are ns expert as profes sionals at thieving, and can he with the as surance of a boss bunco sheerer. Every day word comas from one of the counters that wrong change lias lieen received. Oh, of course, the cash girl didn’t take it! Toe | tears well up in her eyes, and you feel like kicking yourself for having breathed a word against such a cherub. All tho time she is lying like a small-sizod Hatun. The first question a detective asks himself when he suspects a person of theft Is: What has be come of the booty? Then he waits to see the thief dispose of it. That’* what I do with these little thieves. I have found that when they steal their natural desire is to get rid of their money right away. Tho lunch counter is the plat* they come to to doit. When I see ono of them indulging hi luxuries and eating as much in one day as they earn in two, then I know the cause, and I make no bones of accusing her right away.” ■ Tho most complete line of thin Coats and Vests now to be had at Appel & Helmut*. Ignorant of Their Own Country. London Letter to the San Fanciero Argonaut. Them are no people at home who know so much about the great places of interest in London as do Americans. It. is a curious fact, and on ■ as pitiable as it is curious, that but few Englishmen, as vou meet them, have ever been iuside tho Tower of London of the British Museum. I remember not lorg ago speaking to a gentleman from San Francisco on this very subject, and the ap paren lack of interest, which English peo ple display in regard to their own country. They wander all over the gk be, from the North Pole to the Antarctic C oatment, in search of sights and wonders, and never once dream of investigating anything at home, either before they go or after they get back. He said: “Do you know, the same idea has struck me very forcibly! If you w.ll pardon mv saying so, I never met a people of any coun try, and I have traveled considerably, who were so ignorant of their native land and all that makes it of interest to the foreigner. While they go rambling about the world for recreation, amt can tell you much about things worth seeing in other places, they know positively nothing about England. Ask ’em, and see. When abroad they pene trate the jungles of India, cross the deserts of Egypt and South Africa, climb the mountains of Switzerland And rough it on the plains of the for West, but when at home they live the lives of stereotyped gentlemen, content to pass their days in their clubs or in their country houses, doing the same thing every day from one year’s end to the other and caring for nothing but their own immediate personal surroundings They play tennis and cricket in summer, go to it few" horse races, because it is the fashion; shoot grouse, partridges and pheasants in autumn, and hunt foxes in winter. Beyond these tilings they care not a button for any thing. Curiously enough, they don’t re alize it in themseves, though sharp enough to detect the same defect in others. One of the men I refer to asked me tho other day something about the Yosemlte Valley. “ ‘I have never been there,’ I told him. “He let liis glass drop out of his eyes, so great was the elevation of his eyebrows, as he held up his hands in amazement. “‘What! By Jove!’he exclaimed. ‘Fancy never seeing the Yosemite Vally, and you’ve lived in ’Frisco (all Englishmen call it ’Frisco) how many years?’ “ ‘Over twenty. You see, I could go any day. We think nothing of a hundred or two miles in California.’ “ ‘Why, man alive, I went six thousand miles there, and six thousand back again, don’t you know, to set' the Yosemite my self.’ He looked very proud of himself as he said this. “ ‘Look here,’ said I after a minute, to let him enjoy his self-complacency, ‘have you even seen Stonehenge?’ “What? N-no.’ “ ‘Or the Giant’s Causeway T “ ‘No.’ “ ‘Or Shakespeare’s house at Stratford-on- Avon?’ “ ‘N-no.’ “ ‘Or Hampton court, or the Tower? “ ‘N-no.’ “ ‘Then you mustn’t talk to me about never going to the Yosemite. The Tower is about three miles from here. I’ve been there half a dozen times already, but I don’t mind going again. Let’s jump into a han som and drive there now.’ “He looked thunderstruck. ‘The Tower,’ he said; ‘isn’t that the place the ’Arries go to on a bank holiday? Not to-day, please; I’ve an engagement to drive with a chap in the park. Ta-ta.’ “That's pretty much the way with all of them.” The Prince of Wales’ Popularity. Fom the New York World. London*, June 7.—1 saw the Prince of Wales last Sunday afternoon driving to ward Kensington. He was in a private hansom. Fort in benefit of the young men of New York who consider everything from a Prince of Wales standpoint, I will describe his outfit for this afternoon's drive: He was dressed in plain black; his coat was a single buttoned cutaway mnde of the soft, rough cloth now so fashionable in London for morning coats; his hat was black silk; his tie at his throat was a dark blue, with a light polka-dot running over it. He wore no gloves. He leaned with one hand upon a tightly rolled silk umbrella, while the other hand crossed and rested easily upon the one supported by the umbrella stick. The hansom cab was dark blue with a white line traced upon its panelling. There was no coat-of-arms upon tbe cab to indicate its belonging to tho royal stables. The horse was a dark bay, strong, clean anil powerful. The harness was black and absolutely devoid of orna ment. The man who sat in the driver’s seat wore a high silk hat oniumeuted with a black cockade. His coat was' a dark blue with blue buttons. A square, white cravat was at his throat. His breeches were white and skin tight, buttoning at the knee above a pair of black top-boots. The Prince was smoking a cigarette and was apparently lost in contemplation of the rich greens and shifting colors of the vast stretch of Hyde Park at his right. He was driving along at the rate <*f eight, miles an hour, lie sat so far back in the hansom that few noticed him. If he had been recognized generally there would have been much hat-lifting anil cheering. There is no member of the royal family who is so popular as tho Prince of Wales. BROWN S IRON BITTER'.
