TRI-WEEKLY E)ITION. WINNSBORO, S. C., AUGUST 17, 8195. ESTABLISHED 1844 Detailed Account of the Butchery of Christians in China, THRILLING TALES BY SURVIVORS Only One American, 3isn M1abel C. Hart ford, Was Hurt, But Nine British Sub jects Were Brutally Killed--- Many Wounded and 3luch Property Destroyed ---Fanatics Perpetrated the Atrocities. Dr. Gregory. an American missionary, who escaped from Kucheng. China, gives the fol lowing account of the massacre there to the representative of the New York World in Foochow: "At 12.30 p. m. on Thursday. August 1, a native Christian rushed into my study, say ing that several of the foreign ladies at Hwasang, a mountain resort four puo (about twelve miles) from th. city of Kucheng, had been killed that morning, and that two houses had been burned. Fifteen minutes liter a note from Mr. Phillips confirmed this. 11H wroto that five ladies were dead, the Stewarts were missing and four persons were seriously wounded. He expressed the hope that I was then on my way to Hwasang. "I immediately went into the Yamen, where hundreds of excited natives had already gathered, and requested the district magis trate, Uong. to send some scldiers at once to 1 Hwasang to protect those .till living. In half an hour the magistrate went to Hwasang i under an escort of about sixty soldiers. "At 3 p. m I left Kueheng City under an escort of thirteen soldiers, arriving at Hwa- I sang at 8 p. in.. to find that nine adults, all i British subjects. hal been murdereo., and that all those still alive at H wasang-eight N only-had been more or less severely injured, excepting Mr. Phillips. who arrived there only two or three days before, and was lod ing at a native house some (.istance from the t English cottages.

"31is" Codington tells me that the ladies were tirst se'izeAd and told that they wore to be bound and tak''n away into captivity. Af terwards several faint-heart ed attempts were made to kill th''m when they pleaded for their lives. At this time the leader apipeaired upon the scene, and noting the wavering of of the gang. shouted out to them: 'You know your orders. Kill them outright!' These orders were at once obeyed. "It is obvious to all wvho have given the matter much thought that China has been en couraged to continue to be slack in caring for foreigners' lives and property within her territory by the fact that heretofore a money indemnity'has been accepted as the price of foreign blood spilt by murdurous subjects. "Just as long as the foreign Powers are satisfied with such a sett lement of this wan ton, barbarous destruction of life, just so long will China fail to govern her people as -she should govern them in this enlightened century. J. J. GRaooRY." MABEL HARTFORD'S STATEMENT. A Loyal Servant Saved Her From a ChI nese Assassin's Spear. Miss Mlabel C. Hartford, the only Ameri can at Hwasang at the time of the massacre, -makes the following statement: "August 1, at 7.30 a. in., I heard shouts. They-were the yells of servants, who rushed in shouting to me to get up, for the Vege tarians were coming, tearing down the houses on the hill belonging to the English Mission. A few minutes later a teacher came to my door and to'ld me to run. I put on my clothes and rushed to the door.

A O'hicago paper says that the man, afsc~ares of that city are worth $600, met by a man with a trident spear, w yelled: "'Here is a foreign woman.' 'He pointed the spear at my chest. I twisted it to one side and it just grazed my ear and head. He threw me to the ground and beat me with the wooden end of the spear. A servaat came and wrenched the spear away. thcu told me to run. "I jumped down the embankment and ran along the road. A servant came and pullhd me along until I got up on the side of the hill. I then lay down there to get more breath. After resting twice I reached a se :luded spot and lay there. "All this time the yells went on and two ouses were burning to the ground. After a xvhile the yells stopped. I supposed the Veg -tarians had gone away. A servant went I I) ;ee how matters were. He returned in half mn hour, telling me to come home, that five adies of the English Mission had been illed and somehad been wounded, but that ny house-a rented native house-had not )een troubled at all.

The boy vomitted all lay, but we thougnt it was from fright." MORE MISSIONS ATTACKED, Enfurlated Mob Demollshes Ainerican and British Hospitals. A Hong Kong special says that the British md American Missions at Fat-Shan. near Ianton, were attacked by a large and infuri Lted mob, and the hospitals were demol shed. Some of the missionaries fled to Shameen, 1: rhile ot hers remained. A Chinese gunboat tas been despatched to quell the riot. It is reported that all the missions at Ewantung will soon he destroyed and the V nissionaries driven to the treaty ports.

The August report of the statistician of the a Department of Agriculture shows a reduc tion in the condition of cotton during the y month of July from82.3to77.9, or 4.4 points. his is the lowest average for August ever reported, being a half point lower than the nverage for August. 1893. The reason for low condition generally given by corre-e $pondents is excessive moisture, though in South Carolina drought seems to be the principal cause of injury. There is much complaint of grass, and not a little of r ast, blight worms, and insect enemies of the I plant. The State averages of condition are: Vi rginia, 81: North Carolina, 74: South Caro lina, 81: Georgia, 87; Florida, 92; Alabama, 81: Mississippi. 83; Louisiana, 71; Texas, 71; Arkansas, 80; Tennessee. 89. The returns show an improvement in the condition of corn about three points during the month of July. or from 99.3 to 102.5. The condition of spring wheat has fallen since last report 6.3 points, being 95.9, against 102.2 for the month of July. The condition of oats has advanced 1.3 points since last report, being 84.5. against 83.2 July 1. Spring rye condition is 84, against 77 in July last. Barley has fallen to 87.2 from 91.9 in July; tobacco to 82.7. against 5.9 at that date, and 74.9 in August, 1894. Rice is 84.1; Inst year. 91; apples, 71.2, against 44 last year; peaches 83.3, against 22.3 last year; buck wheat has an acreage of 96.5 per cent. of last year and condition 85.2. Area under hay 91.5 per cent. of 1894; condition of timothy 69.9, against 75.6 last year; product of clover 66.7, against 72.1. and quality of clover 87.3, against 90.2 a year ago. Condition oi pasture 77.8, last year 66. Irish potatoes, condition 87.7, a fall of nearly 4 points from 91.5 in July. A Great Fire in Newark. At Newark, N. J., the plant of the Central Stamping Company burned. The loss is probably $500,000. The comp~anly caied Havoc by Field Laborers. Field laborers in Argenau, Germany, in tevenge for grievances, fired the building~s upon an estate there, and resisted the ffcers. Five persons were killed and six ounded.

Observer Bauer issues the following 'or the week ending Monday, August 12, 1895: There is considerable improvement :o note in the condition of crops in general and corn in particular over the estern and northern counties where he drought was partially relieved ,verywhere and in some places entire y so, except that in Abbeville and An lerson the showers were partial and at )est insufficient. There were general showers on the )th over the upper portion of the 5tate, the rainfall amounting to from I >ne to two inches. There was rain in ome portion of the State every day )f the week. The temperature was very even, iaving been slightly but steadily above he usual the entire week, the excess veraging 2 degrees per day. The ighest temperature reported was 98 t Columbia on the 12th; the lowest 63 it Santuc on the 8th. The average I emperature of tlie week, for the State, 2 educed from thirty-one stations j venly distributed throughout, was 81 legrees, and the normal for the same )eriod is approximately 79 degrees. The sunshine ranged from 57 to 92 er cent. of the possible, with an aver- l .ge of about 74 per cent. for the State, r whieh is considerably in excess of the E isual, and in places was damaging, v where there was also excessive rain, r ausing a steam-like vapor to rise, t rhich was injurious to crops. There ] ere high local winds on the 6th in I ickens and Union Counties, and a a everecyclonic storm in the vicinity of I antue, Union County, on the 10th a 3aturday) that broke down a great f, cal of corn,tore some up by the roots, t nroofed houses, destroyed fruit, etc. The reports on cotton show that 'hile in the main it has slightly im roved during the week, yet in places 1\ s condition has retrograded. Abbeville County reports rust, lice t, nd shedding of forms and the plant n rning yellow. Many other places t [so report shedding. Comparing its s resent condition with the same dates a Lst year, the plant is from 10 days to t weeks later, lacks uniformity of con- t ition, and the acreage greatly reduced. c few sections only report as fine a I rop as last year. a The :egular and some special re- a orts on corn confirm the reports by K >unties of last week, except there is 2 nsiderable improvement in the y orthern and western counties where il ic drought was greatly relieved, a; hich put latest planting in a promis- al g condition. In Anderson and Ab- ti LCh esterield, 'Chester, Lancaster h id Laturens the improvement is most d Larked on bottom lands, of late plant- r ig. Corn in those counties that was w hllied late in May and early in June i a failure. The average fine condi- a: on and large acreage promises a very p rge corn crop, much of which is al- t] Mady made. Fodder pulling will be g ite general this week; a great deal m as a] ready been gathered in fine con ition. 0 Excessive rainfall is affecting corn - >juriously in Horry County; too lit ec rain in the Piedmont section gen ralls. Tobhacco curing continues, and the r eports all agree as to the fine quality I this year's crop, due to both the t tness o>f the soil for tobacco and skill , sed in curing. Peas are ripening and the crop is a i ne one in most sections, especially so here the rains have been abundant. f Turnip sowing continues as the con- 1 ition of the ground permits, and t ere will be a large crop planted. f Sugar cane and sorghum are not< itng ver'y well. Molasses boiling has gun ini the lower part of the State. t The general condition of svaeet po :ttoes shows gains, but the crop is ate an td, comparatively, a small one, wintg to scarcity of seed at first and rterwards poor condition of the roun dsh for planiing slips until quite Igte' pear-hes and fruit generally of1 tferor <inality, except apples in An N-rson county, which promise a full G;ar len truck along the coast in fine nitt ion2; elsewhere about ruined.

"Many men in Barnum's show re member the fight between Dick and Dunk, two big elephants who got into an engagement some six years ago in the old Madison Square Garden," said an old circus man. "Dunk went mad with almost no warning, and tearing loose from his fastenings started at his old enemy Dick. Both elephants stood game, and with shrieks of rage dashed at each other again and agai~n, swinging down their trunks with the force of falling trees and digging their tusks into each other's flanks. For half an hour the keepers were un able to get them apart, for prods and hooks were unavailing against their blind rage, and it would have meant certain death for an attendant to have ventured between them. Those who awv the fight say that the elephants charged at each other like bulls, rush ing together at full speed, their big heads striking with a shock that was felt throughout the building. Dunk knocked his adversary down several times, and it was only when he hadI gained a decisive advantage in the struggle that the keepers were able to lead away the discomfited and badly injured Dick. Then, with much diffi culty, the mad elephant was secured: with chains, and later transferred to the Smithsonian Zoological Garden, his temper being too violent to allow his remaining with the cirous.

WOMEN ON THE BICYCLE. There was a good deal of pith to rs. Stanton's remark in reply -to ishop Doane that "womenare riding suffrage on the bicycle." They ay not be riding to suffrage, but ey are riding everywhere and every hither they want to go. Certainly ad conspicuously they are riding in ) any sort of costume it suits them ) put on. Bloomers are getting so mmon that it seems possible that ie untutored eye will presently dwell pon them without a shock.

MODELS WHO DISPLAY CLOTHES. There are hundreds of young wo en in New York City who make their iving as models; one authority says hat there are more than a thousand ; hich estimate leads to the conclusion hat good looks are not scarce in the sland of Manhattan, for these young ;omen owe success entirely to their ie physique. The models here al uded to are not those who sit to ar its, and whose charms are trans erred to canvas, but those who try a suits, silk waists, jackets, cloaks .nd capes for the benefit of the cus-: omers in the stores and dressmaking: stabl ishments. The more exclusive and expensive d the uptown women's tailors all em loy models to display their gowns. Che best firms in the shopping dis rets have them, but the great major ty of models find occupation in the yig wholesale houses in middle and ower Broadway, a number of firms in hat vicinity employing as many as a lozen the whole year round. The av trage downtown model is paid from 12 to $15 a week, but an unusually peasing subject may command as high s $18. Those in the big retail estab shments who combine the office of model with that of a saleswoman get The available model must measure :hirt-six inches about the bust and wenty-three or twenty-four around ;he wvaist, her height being in propor on, the trying on of gowns and ~loaks for women built on a less lib eral plan being intrusted to the uisses' models; that is, to unformed irls fourteen to fifteen years old. Nekw York Tribune. THE WOMAN DOCTOR. The woman doctor is already an ac complished faot, but as yet she has ap parently made no considerable way in public favor. It may be contended that there is something in the art of healing in accord with the primary instincts of a woman's nature. But if we look closer into the subject, it will be seen that there is more than mere prejudice and long-established custom to account for the exclusion of the female sex in the past from the prac. tice of this calling. Have women the calmness of nerve-the aplomb, so to say-the steadiness of hand and pulse for the work of the surgeon? Is it possible to suppose that a non-abnor ml woman, with her more highly strung constitutional senaihility, could amputate a limb with the same imper turbability that we should look for in the male operator? To this it may be replied that, grant ing a certain daawback to women by reason of sex in the matter of surgical ex ertness, the case is different with +he "meti" of the physicia. and~ that here, at least, the sexes can con pete oc terms of perfect equality. Yet again, as a matter of plain fact, ar the services of lady doctors much i request with their own sex-nay, evei in those branches of the therapeuti art dealing with specially feminine ail ments? Moreover, ;if the advance woman's theory of exact professiona ,quality and indifference as to sex i to be maintained, why should any bar rier suggest itself to the consultatioi of medical women by men, any mor than now exists to the calling in b2 women of the male practitioner? Ba is there no such barrier? Surely th( mere statement of the case disposes o the parity argument, We have heard of a man here anu there resorting to lady experts in mas safge, but that men should go to womet doctors and lay bare their bodily symp toms in the same way as women hav< done from time immemorial to theii male medical advisers, would be a pro cedufe repugnant on both sides, an "not convenient" for obvious reasons. Here, then, while admitting that i sprinkling of females may, perhaps, usefully find their mission in obtain ing employment as doctors among v limited number of their own sex, w( are brought face to face with the eter nal and immutable disparity of sex. - The Scottish Review. FASMON NOTES. Basket-woven linen duck is much used for vests. Silks in solid colors are invariably trimmed with rich jet and guipure ef fects. The newest thing in crepon is semi transparent. It is wool, and of very light weight. Surplice folds, those quaint garni tures of our grandmothers, are more popular than ever. Delicate pale green stationery, stamped in gold or silver, is one of the present fashions. Picturesque dresses of chiffon-cre pon show a sheer black guaze, held in full waves on a black net ground. Ribbons come in all colors, and often show brocade and lace-like patterns. They are of velvet, silk and satin. , The material known as drill will b3 more popular than ever. It comes now stamped with a variety of bright and beautiful designs. Leghorn flats occupy a prominent place in fashion's realm, as do the nu merous fancy white braids that are to be seen at every hand. Black crepons and grenadines have in a large degree usurped black lace One of the daintiest ribbon produc tions of the season is the narrow satin stripe alternating with fine Valen ciennes lace insertion and edging. Though wide and flaring at its cir calar edge, the fashionable caipe, of whatever material, fits the neck and shoulders as perfectly as a bodice. Some of tie prettiest waists are made of cream-white embroidered ba tiste, after the same models which are used for silk and more expensive ma terials. For full-dress occasions the half-low bodice is encircled with a wreath of artificial blooms. This wreath usu ally, but not necessarily, heals a fllI of rich lace. Some of the prettiest black gowns are of sheer materials. Black mulls and organdies are in special demand, trimmed with black thread lace or pointe d'esprit. Pure undyed silk with a weave re sembling canvas and rather coarse ic texture is called Arabian silk. It 12 used for tailor suits for morning an'd traveling wear. Striped crepons are very fashion able. Many of the silk .and satin crepons show flowered grounds ant lace stripes. These goods are mad' up over taffeta silk. Black and white is more fashionabk than it has ever been before. Blaci md white light-weight silks, verj narrowly striped, are among the sea son's most popular fabrics. Black lace, embroidered with rea straw, is now used for trimming hat and bonnets. These embroideries which give the impression of pale gol color, are extremely effective. This is a season of box-plaits. The are often made of passementerie an of rows of overlapping rib~bon, whic begin on the shoulder, cross the bus diagonally and end at the waist-line Slender-waisted women and girl may wear ribbon belts fastened witl silver buckles, and finisheol with long~ streaming ends, but stout women mu: beware of such garniture, fashiondul though it may be. Several attempts have been made t lessen the size of the sleeves. Po sibly they may become suddenly iih It would be a pity, for puated steert when not exaggerated give mue elegance to the figure. Tailor-made suits of whits an pearl-gray satin-faced alpaca at pique are included in very smart war robes. They are made with sho natty jackets and full skirts fittir tightly around the hips. Travelhng gowns of mohair are b ing made with the fullness of the ski carried over each bip in a series' very fine pleats, stitched down fu t and visibly. With many of the skirts is worn a short cape, instead a jcket or blazer. Crepele will be very fashionabi Seie of them are extremely variegate and original. 'The shades most wo: are mordore, violet prelat, blue gra: V-ntian red, emerald and viohiu The same fabrics are made in silk at the weft of some bright color in woc This produces a transparent and vel pretty effect.

Son'of the Late President to Entet Politics. i The nomination for State Senator of James R. Garfield, son of the inurdered President, has aroused a great deal of political interest In Ohio. He is a candidate from the Portage Summitt District, compris ing the same counties which in 1859 elected his father In the same position. The late James A. Garfield was 28 years old when chosen, and had been married to Lucretia Rudolph but one year. James R. Garfield is nom inated at the same age, and he, too, has been married but little more than a year. Another coincidence is that the JAMEs A. GARFIELD, (the late President) As State Senator in 1859. nomination came to the younger.Gar field on July 2, anniversary of the date on which his father, fourteen years ago, was shot down by Gulteau. There is however, no coincidence in the financial condition of the father and son at the time of their respective nominations, The "Jim" Garfield of 1859 was poor. His wife was poor also, but both were well educated, and both brave in the battle of life. The "Jim" Garfield who is enter ng politics in 1895 is really a rich inan. The generosity of the nation iode his mother one of the richest women of the Western Reserve, and young "Jim" married the daughter Young "Jim" is also a graduate. of the Columbia Law School, though he was admitted by examination to practice before the Supreme Court of Ohio. JAMtEs R. GARFIELD, (the son) As State Senater in 1895. There will be no doubt of his elec ton. amnd from now on there will be anoter " .Jim " Garfield in the poll tis of Ohio. Hie is a young man of ambitious tendencies and is very proud of his father's name.
