The European community continues
to demand the destruction of Peking
and the exemplary punishment of

the massacre of foreigners recently re

American Women Outraged.
Two of these women were captured
while attempting to leave the stations
where they were located, were led about
the i wintry naked, repeatedly outraged
and finally killed by a method too re
volting to be described.
Two other American women were
coming to the coast with a party which
a number of Chinamen followed and
stoned. The women tell exhausted and
were taken by the Chinamen into the
P r "- of the local officials. They
were prostrated upon the execution
and a feint was made of their be

Atlanta Lady Has a Narrow Escape
From a Black Fiend.
Marietta, Ga., Sept. 4.—As Miss Leo
Hatcher of Atlanta, who is visiting in
this city, was returning from a visit toa
friend on the edge of the city, accom
panied by two children, she "was pur
sued by a negro man, and only her being
fleet of foot saved her.
Miss Havcher came through the con
federate cemetery. Just, as she emerged
nom the cemetery Miss Hatcher discov
ered that a negro man was following her
and the children. She quickened her
pace, as did the negro. He ordered her
to stop, whereupon she ran, the fellow
following. Miss Hatcher ran across the
railroad at the crossing and just as she
came m sight of some negro cabins she
stumbled aud fell. The young ladv was
screaming as she ran, aud two negro
women saw her running and hoard her
screams. A negro man came out of one
of the houses to her rescue, aud ordered
her pursuer to stop. The would-be as
sailant was recognized as Henry Max
well, who works for the Southern Ex
press company at this place.
Miss Hatcher went home and informed
her uncle, aud Maxwell was soon behind
the bars in Cobb county jail.
There is considerable excitement over
tlie affair.
RESCUED BY THE POLICE.
Timely Arrival of the Officers Proba
bly Prevented a Lynching.
Atlanta, Sept. 3.—A negro fleeing
for life and 50 other negroes, armed
with knives and pistols, close on his
heels, caused the greatest excitement
Sunday afternoon on Cain stree.
There were cries of “killhim!” “lynch
him!” “hang him!”
The fugitive held an open knife in his
hand and whenever any of his pursuers
got too near he would turn, brandish
the knife aud get a fresh stare.
It was negroes after a negro, and it
seemed evident that if the man being
chased was caught there might be a
Sunday lynching in the very heart of
the city.
All that could be ascertained along the
line of battle was that fifty angry ne
groes, some of whom bad been partak
ing of blind tiger liquor, were bent ou
killing another negro who had also been
imbibing whisky from a Sunday blind
tiger.
The police arrived on the scene in
time to prevent serious trouble. The
uegro, whose name is Clemens, stated
when rescued by the police, that the
row resulted from his refusal to pay for
a drink of whisky at a blind tiger.

for beating a woman. While on the
train the negro made a grab for the
bailiff’s pistol, which was in liis pocket.
Oliver saw him, but too late to prevent
his firing one shot, which struck Oliver
near the center of the breast.
The negro then jerked loose from liis

learned that the joint commission of
Colombians and Venezuelans, appointed

boundary line between Colombia and
Venezuela, has completed its task and
had advanced the boundary line to the

dice of Venezuela, which reduces the

M’SWEENEY MAKES APPEAL.
Urges Bis Friends to Rally to Ills Sup
port—Hoyt Confident.
Columbia, S. C., Sept. 1.—Governor
McSweeney has issued an address in
which, after calling attention to the
fact that he and Colonel Hoyt will rim
over for governor on Sept. 11, he ap
peals to the dispensary advocates to
rally to his support.
Among other things the governor
states that the vote last Tuesday was an
indorsement of the dispensary and that
the charge that the law has not beeu
enforced has been met and refuted. He
warns his friends not to become over
confident, and says if they turn out aud
vote his election is assured. .
Colonel Hoyt’s friends have already
begun an active campaign for the sec
ond primary aud are confident of laud
ing their man. Headquarters have been
opened in Columbia, with C. O. Feather-
stone in charge, and the principal work
will be done at this place. Mr. Feather-
stone said:
“To have got such a vote with such
odds against him is a great victory for
Colouel Hoyt and the cause which
he has so ably advocated. It shows
that the people believe iu the right and
they recognize the ability aud purity of
Colouel Hoyt.
“I am satisfied that his chances are i
good. Governor McSweeuey’s lead of
a few thousand votes amounts to little.
If Colouel Hoyt’s friends know his
strength and will go to work he will be
our next governor.
“Part of the Gary and Patterson vote
came from their personal friends, not
because they believed in tlie dispensary,
but because they recognized the bouesty
aud ability of Gary aud Pattersou. A
part of this vote, I know, will go to Col
ouel Hoyt, aud I believe that by far the
greater part of it will do so. A system
atic aud orgauized effort will now be
made by Colonel Hoyt’s friends from
this on and there is every reason to be
lieve that he will be our next governor. ’.

Feeling Against Them Is Beyond the
Bounds of Official Control—Reform
ers Appeal to Great Britain For As-
sistance—Organizations Formed te
Overthrow the Government.
Hong-Kong, Sept. 3.—Influential na
tives state that the flame of rebellion hai
been fanned in the south provinces and
predict a tremendous conflagration with
in a month. Placards aud pamphlet!
are being circulated in Canton and th«
provinces intimating that the allies ar«
thoroughly routed. The feeling againsl
foreigners is bursting the bounds ol
official control.
The majority of the mission station!
in Kwang Tung have been either de
stroyed or looted. Nutive Christians am
terribly abused. Natives in foreign em
ploy iu Canton have been threatened
and a systematic looting of houses ol
English speaking Chinamen has taken
place.
Several reform parries with their
headquarters in Hong-Kong, who havu
beeu supported by funds from rich Chi
nese iu the center aud iu America,
hitherto refrained from aggressive ac
tion, believing that the powers would
effect the regeneration of the govern
ment. One power of the organization
is distributing thousand of copies of a
reform appeal in the British colonies.
The memorandum lias beeu signed by
200 names for presentation to the Brit
ish minister imploring the assistance oJ
a reform government. It recommends
establishing Nanking as the capital and
the selection of enlightened Chinese offi
cials to administer the government with
foreign advisors.
These people are disheartened at the
reported intention of the powtrs ta
withdraw from China. Different socie
ties are combining to raise the standard
of revolt aud overthrow the corrupt gov
ernment.
The practical cessation of trade with
the north has thrown thousands of Chi
nese in each port out of employment,
and they are ready to join the rebels.
French aggression at Swatow and Jap
anese aggression at Amoy intensify the
hatred of foreigners.

he who did the shooting. Fowler is not
expected to live. _
