SLAIN I Refugee.-; Murdered by Chinese Sol- diers—Others Went to the Governor for Protection and Were Cut to Pieces by Boxers in His Presence. Tir.v Tsix, Sept. 5, via San Fran cisco, Oct. 3.—A circumstantial narra tive of the massacrees in Shan Si prov ince has reached here through a native Christian teacher who escaped and, after a remarkable journey through the coun try by foot and boat has just arrived. This man is a graduate from the North China ■■oliege, speaking English fluently and absolute confidence is placed in his statements by the American missiona ries. Hi man cruel cials why the hot been expelled. tlr tier compulsion arrested t 1a - chief tbs penser of rite ho pita!.. The man was given 330 blows and the demand made that he should secure the arms in pos session of the mission. These were ac cordingly given up, two pistols and two rifles. The demand was repeated that they* must hasten their departure. Four country carts were prepared for them aud their goods duly packed. They were to start on Aug 15, guarded by 20 soldiers. The teacher, on the advice of one of the soldiers, escaped from the TESTS ESCORT: party some few miles from the village | of Ksi Shih. I The party was supposed to be sent to Ping Yao, about 30 miles from Fu Chow. When not far away on his line of escape ho heard the firing of a gun. He after ward learned that this was the signal for the attack upon the party. They were escorted by the soldiers a few miles further, where they were met by another detachment and all were at tacked and killed with swords. Going back to early in June a graphic and apparently reliable account of all the murders in the Shan Si province is given. Much of it is too horrible.for publication. Men, women and children were butchered, their bodies mutilated and, in many instances, their heads were placed on the gates of the villages. So far as known the first murders oc curred Juue 28, when two women, mem bers of the China inlaud mission, were killed at Hisia Ti Hsi Fn. They were Miss Whitechurch and Miss Sewell, who lived alone at the mission, a re mote place. Horrible Butchery of Foreigners. The next outrage took place at Show Yang, about 75 miles from Tai Yuan Yu, which is a inissiou station of the in dependent workers, on Juue 29. The st-orv of this massacre, if true, leaves little doubt of the guilt of the local Chinese authorities. In all 33 persous were slain. Among them were Mr. and Mrs. T. W. Piggott, their son, Mr. Rob ertson, a tutor; Miss Duval, a teacher, and the daughter of Mr. Atwater of Yen Chou Fu. They were sent to Tai Yuan. On the march they suffered ter ribly. On arriving at Tai Yuan they were placed in separate rooms and suf fered many indignities. A complete list of all foreigners was demanded by the governor on July 7. He fheu ordered them all to come to his yamen, assuring them they would be protected aud es corted safely to the coast- The order was complied with and the entire party of foreigners was admitted between files of soldiers through the outer gate to the court. Once .safely in the walls of the yamen the ranks of the soldiers were opened and about 40 Box ers admitted. They fell upon the un armed missionaries with swords and a horrible butchery ensued. The bodies of the unfortunate men and women were hacked to pieces, their heads cut off aud placed i*i baskets, which were suspended over the four gates of the 01 Forty native Christians were also slain and the following day the Catholic priests, said to have all been French men, were beheaded.

W. Davis, C. D. Williams, D. H. Clapp and wife, Miss Rowena Ford and Miss Susan Partridge were killed. The heads were taken to Tai Yuan and placed in the baskets on the gates, aud it is said the hearts of the men were cut out- and carried to Peking. One hundred native Christians were killed at the time, 66 of them beiug con verts of the Roman Catholic mission.

Berlin, Oct- 3.—Official advices from j Peking, dated Sept. 23, assert that a j further examination of the Chinese non- ' commissioned officer accused of Baron j Ketteler’s murder, resulted iu this state- j ment: “On June f we received orders j from the prince to shoot foreigners wherever we came across them. ’ The accused, it appears, decided that the or der was to shoet a minister, or the Ger man minist „r.

McCrea. He was first discovered by Mrs. McCrea, and was then in her room, where a dim light was burning. She called to know who it was, and receiving no answer jumped out of bed and turned up the light- Seeing it wa3 a negro.she screamed aud ran toward the doctor’s room, across the hall. The negro ran out at the door, which he had previously unfastened, be fore Dr. McCrea could get his pistol. The description of the negro as given by Mrs. McCrea and the y onug ladies resulted in the arrest of Charles Wash ington. When carried before the ladies they positively identified him as the man. Washington was placed in Tilton jail, but rumors of a lynching becoming cur rent, Constable Oliver took the negro in his buggy and started to Nashville with him. About 1 mile out of town Oliver was met by a crowd of men, whether white or black he could uot tell. One seized his horse and others seized him. The negro was taken from the buggy and Oliver told that he had just two minutes to get away, and one of them was already gone. He returned home and no trace of the negro has been dis covered since. It is hardly probable that he was killed even if the party was white, aud if negroes it was plainly a rescue. MRS. PETTYJOHN SUICIDES. An Augusta Lady Takes Her Own Life at Hillman. Washington, Ga., Oct. 2.—A myste rious suicide occurred at Hillman which ended the life of Mrs. William P. Petty john of Augusta. Mrs Pettyjohn, not going down to breakfast, Mrs. Dozier, the proprietor of the hotel, knocked at her door, and re ceiving no response, forced an -eutrauce, and on entering found the occupant un conscious. Two hours later Mrs. Petty john was dead. A half emptied vial on the table told a part of the story. There is evidently some mystery be hind the scenes which has not yet been permitted to creep out. When prepara tions were made for shrouding the body the only trunk in the room was found to contain gentlemen’s clothing. A brother-in-law of the deceased, when he arrived, asked to see the trunk and tried to gain entrance into the room where the inquest was beiug held. He said the verdict should have been that the deceased came to her death by rea son of heart failure and not by opiates from her own hands. —Job Printing at low prices. TROOPS RESTORE ORDER.

The negroes rang the bell themselves, aud 1,000 of them dashed to the jail with rifles and pistols to protect the prisoner, they said. They kept up hor rible orgies all night. The whites in tended no violence to the prisoner and fearing the negroes would be led into an aggressive outbreak, they asked for the militia. FRANKS HELD FOR PERJURY.
