AWFUL SCENE IN CHINA.
Story ol Merclless.Slaughtor of Men, Women
and Children at Tai Yuan Fu.
Washington, May 12.-Tho last mail
from China brings a thrilling account of
thu murdor of tho missionaries at Tai
Yuan Fu on the ninth of last July, which
was taken down io writing by Dr. J. A.
Creasy Smith from tho narrativo of
Yung Chong, a member of tho Baptist
church, who was nu unwilling wituoss of
their martyrdom. Yung Chong is
vouched for ns a Christian of excellent
eharactor and absolutely trustworthy.
Ho says that bo was taking treatment in
tho hospital on tho Baptist Society's
premisos nt Tai Yuan Fu, whon on tho
8th of July ho saw Hov. Mr. Pigott, his
wife and child, John Robinson, Miss
Duvai and two young women named
Atwater brought Into tho town. Tho
two gentlemen wero handouffod and
escorted by a company of soldiers and
followed by immense throngs of natives.
Wherever they stopped to rest Mr.
Pigott and Mr. Robinson preached to tho
people, who gathored around thom and
wore vory much astonished, saying.
"You aro going to bo killed for preach
ing, and yet you continue to do so."
That night tho party was placed iu
prison with a numbor of othor mission
aries and their wives and children,
including several Catholic priests. The
next morning they were all executed
.'Tho first to bo led forth," Yung
Chong says, "was Mr. Farthing, a Bap
tist minister. His wife ohing to him,
but ho put her aside gently, knelt down
without saying a word and his hoad was
struck off by ono blow of tho execu
tioner's knife. Ho was quickly followed
hy Pastors Hoddle and beynon, and Dis.
Levitt and Wilson, all of whom wero
beheaded with ono blow by tho execu
tioner. Thou tho Governor, Yu lisien,
grow impatient and told his body-guard,
all of whom carried big beheading knives
with long handles, to help kill tho others.
Pastors Stokes, Simpson and White
house were next killed, tho last by ono
blow only, tho othor two by sovorat.
"When tho mon wero finished tho
ladies wero taken. Mrs. Farthing had
hold of the hands of her childi cn, who
clung to her, but tho soldiers parted
thom and with ono blow beheaded their
mother. Tho oxecutionor beheaded all
the children and did it skillfully, ncod
illg only ono blow; but tho soldiers wore
clumsy, and some of tho ladies suffered
several cuts before death.
"Mrs. Levitt was wearing hor spec
tacles and held tho hand of hor little
boy, even when she was killed. She
spoke to tho people, saying as near as 1
can remember: "Wo all carno to China
to bring you tho good news of salvation
by Jesus ('brist; wo have dono you no
harm, only good; why do you treat us
so? A soldier took off hor spectacles
before beheading her, which needed two
blows.
"When the Protestants wero all killed,
the Roman Catholics wero led forward.
Tho bishop, an old man, with long,
while bearii, asked tho Governor, Yo
lisien, why ho was doing this wicked
deed. 1 ?lid not hear tho Governor give
him any answer, but ho drew his sword
and cut the bishop across tho faco one
heavy stroke; blood poured dowu his
I white board, and he was beheaded. The
. priests and nuns quickly followed bim
in death.
"Thon Pastor Pigott and his party
were lcd from tho district jail, which is
1 close by. Ho was still handcuffed and
so was Mr. Robinson. Ho preached to
thc people to tho very last, wheo ho was
beheaded with one biow. Mr. Robinson
suffered death very calmly. Mrs. Pigott
held thc hand of ber son, even when she
was beheaded, and he was killed itnmo
. diatoly after her. The lady and two
girls were killed also, quickly.
"On that day forty-live foreign people
ill all were beheaded, thirty-three Pro
testants and twelve Roman Catholics.
Thc bodies of all were loft where they
fell till next morning, as it was evening
liefere the work was finished. During
tho night they were stripped of the
clothing and oilier things, such as rings
and watches. Next day they were
removed to a place inside (he great
South gate, except some of tho heads,
whicli were placed in cages oil tho gates

8AY8 B0ER8 WILL WIN.
Capt. John A. Hassell dives His Reasons for
the Belief-De Wet a Madman.
[From tho Daltlnioro Sun.]
Capt. John A. Hassell, commander of
the ?Diericau scouts with the Boer army,
who is visiting Baltimore, believes that
the Boors will yet be successful in the
struggle for iudepeudenoe aud liberty,
and says that their position to-day is as
strong as lt wa? three months ago.
"Tho Boor cause,'' he said to a re
porter of tho Sun, "is deaporato, but not
moro dosporato than that of tho British.
Wo boliovo wo can hold out uutil we
win. We do not think we eau boat tho
British Empire, but wo hopo that wo can
koop up tho struggle until tho British
abandon tho task of making tho South
African rep?blica mero dependencies of
tho crown. Tho taxpayers in England
aro already becoming heartily sick of
such a tremendous outlay Of money.
The fact that tho great war loan was
moro than subscribed for doos not dis
prove this. That loan was taken by tho
mouoy loudors, who know that British'
credit is yet good."
In speaking of tho presold condition
of tho war in South Africa Capt.. Hassell
said: "Tho war lu South Africa hos do
velopod a condition that has no proco
dent ill history, inasmuch as tho defend
ing army, nu ni boring in all not more
tbau l(t,000 mou, aro subsisting almost
entirely on tho offensive army. Tho
Boor is not fighting for medals or glory,
but for tho comfort which will como
from freedom; therefore ho doos not at
tempt impossible tasks, but ho fights
when favorable conditions present them
selves.
"Tho problem in South Africa now is
Olio almost entirely of horsctlesb. Tho
Hoers dismounted would not bo able to
koop tho Held. Mounted, ono Boor ls
oqual to three British soldiers, and by
continually changing.tho scone of opera
tions the Boors aro ablo to disorganize
tho British plans. By tho quiok shifting
of tho scones of notiou from tho Trans
vaal to tho Orange Froo state aud thon
to Capo Colony tho whole British army
system has boon completely demoralized.
Tho Boors aro receiving recruits overy
day; in faot, faster than wo aro losing
mon, and tho spirit of liberty and inde
pendence, is, if anything, stronger to-day
than at tho outbreak of hostilities."
When asked about tho rumors that
Qon. Do Wot is insano. Capt. Hassell
said: "Do Wot isa mantuan-whon ho
seos a British soldier, but only in that
souse. Ho has a stem resolve to fight it
out to tho bitter omi or Hud a patriot's
gravo. Behind Do Wot stands President
Stoyn, of tho Orango Froo State, a man
whoso many excellent qualifies cannot
bo exaggerated.
"I boliovo in my heart of hearts." said
Capt. Ilassoll, in concluding his talk
with a reporter of tho Sun, "that wo can
koop up tho fight until tho British havo
lost. I know tho Boor well; I havo lived
with him for twolvo years and havo soon
him in all conditions of lifo, and I want
to say that tho pooplo of South Africa
will never submit to British domination."

was first advised by our family physician
in Charleston to uso TEBT1IINA with our
baby whon she was but a very young in
fant, as a provontitivo of eolio and to
warm and sweeten tho stomach. Later
it was useful in teething troubles, and
its effect has boon found to bo so very
beneficial and so freo from tho dangers
that aro consequent upon tho uso of
drugs and soothing syrups, that wo
have como to regard it, after uso with
tinco children, as ono of tho necessities
when there is a now baby in tho bouso

it to our friends instead of tho horrid
