Hoadley and Paymaster Wil- liameon of the El Favor Mining Com- pany,” were killed and terribly muti- Jated -on the afternocon of April 26 by, Mexican miners of that company, ac- to Mr. Neal, general mana- er of company, who passed here yesterday en route to the United States aboard the Ward Liner Hsperanza. He and an Baglehman named Beard were both stabbed when the two men were ambushed and treacherousiy murder- ed by miners. Hoadley was an Amer- jcan, the rest of the persons named being British. There were three other Americans in the party of foreigners assaulted by the miners, but these, whose names are unknown here man- aged to escape. \ The I Favor mine is five hours out | from the town of Hostotipaquillo, Jal., not far from the Cinco Minas property where two Americans were Killed by the miners a few months ago. Theft of Bullion. A pgmeneral anti-American feeling throughout this region developed after the taking of Vera Cruz became known. While the seven foreigmers at the mine were at dinner on the day of the miners assault upon them, a number of the men who were armed entered the bullion room and stole; the silver bricks.

Beckwith, of South Wind- e N escaped went-up another ravine while the fighting around the office was go- ing on. Williamson and Hoadley, run- ning along some distance behind them were fired upon from the rocky cliffs above. Williamson went down im- mediately - with a shot through the stomach. Hoadley some distance further up this ravine ran under the cliffs in order to protect himself from the fire from above. From the advan- tage positions of the heights, the min- ers threw down upon the foreigners dynamite bombs rocks and other mi siles. Hoadley was stunned by one of the bombs striking near his hiding place at the foot of the cliffs and fell to the ground. The miners seeing both of their vic- tims lying prone upon the ground, rushed from above to despatch them. Williamson they shot through the breast and groin at close quarters and Hoadley lying unconscious was run through with a machete. The other Americans who had run on ahead were likewise attacked but barricaded themseives in the mouth of an old mining seat from which po- sition theye.made terrible havoc among their onrushing assailants. The fight- ng from this position and the general offices down at the foot of the canon went ‘on for five hours continuously until a federal sergeant arrived with a small detachment of men. He gath- ered in the three Americans from the mouth of the tunnel and went down towards the general offices. Tore Out Gold Teeth. Hoadley was found a little farther on in a terrible state of mutilation. His face had been beaten into a un- recognizable mass the savage tearing out his gold teeth. Farther on Wil- liams was found with his three rifle wounds. He was in a nude state his assallants having stolen all his cloth- workmen, who remained faithful, ran into the dining room and informed Manager Neal of what had taken place. The men immediately grabbed up ahotguns and rifles and started in pur- suit of the thieves. The party split up -ip groups going through several small canons in pursuit of the fleeing miners. Neal and Beard finding none of the thieves In the direction they had taken, returned to the offices of the company, in front of which a moh ered. These miners forming the mob -were armed. One of their num- ‘ber harangued them against the Amer- icans. i Both Men Stabbed. Neal and Beard walked into this gathering where they were received in an apparently friendly manner the grumbling subsiding. Beard seeing a clous movement of a Mexig¢an be- hind Neal, turned andl shouted to him to look out. As he did so he received e thrust from' a knife which cut Lhrmgh the tendons of his left should- or eal sprang forward and in the snsul tussie was stabbed through the h and in several other places. As the struggle continued they lost their guns, but managed to gain the door of the offices and slam it to with only one of' their pursuers on the in- side. As this man struck at Mr. Neal with 8 I machete he was shot through the chest at point blank range by 's Colt automatic pistol, and died tly, Scrambling around in the semi-darkness of the office, where they mecured other arms, the two Eng- ishmen ran up to the roof and defend- 4d themselves there firing through the leopholes of the cornice. Beard went down to the office again and telephoned the authorities at Hostotipaquillo, in- forming them of what was happening. Targets for Dynamite.

Upon arriving at the general of- fices the sergeant was admitted by Mr. Neal the least seriously wounded of the two inside. The mob leaders appeared upon the scene at this time demanding the im- mediate execution of the Englishmen and Americans. The sergeant temp- orized with them in view of their su- perior force allowing them to loot the company stores. While they were busy doing this the sergeant mounted half his force with the Americans and Eng- lishmen on horses belonging to his d tachment and carrying the dead set out as fast as possible for Hostotipa- quillo. There they found the Cinco Minas employes who were leaving the country en masse due to the disturbed conditions. Manager Neal and his men were ar- rested and imprisoned for two days but due to the efforts of his friends of the Cinco Minas company and the tes- timony of the sergeant he was liberated with his companions. All the npro- ceeded under heavy escort to Guadla- jara, and from there left the country at the first opportunity. - TOUR OF ASSA Instructive Paper Read by Mrs. C. W, Gale at Central Baptist Church. Before & large congregation in the Central Baptist church Sunday even- ing Mrs. Charles W. Gale read a well prepared and most interesting paper entitled A Tour in Assam. In_the opening paragraphs of her paper Mrs. Gale spoke of her visit to Calcutta, India. Various points of interest in that city were then discussed and the poor railroad accommodations were spoken of. The morning after Mrs. Gale and party boarded the train they found themselves at Assam. Station on the Brahmapootr: Upon reaching the station of Amin- gaon, on the Brahmapootra river, they were met by Rev. and Mrs. Witter, Rev. and Mrs. G. R. Kamfer, Miss Holmes and Miss Wilson, who wel- comed them cordially. While there they met the president of the Cotton college, a government institution, and some of the Indian professors who had been invited to the bungalow where Mrs. Gale and party were guests. After tea ther was a tennis game. None of the .professors nor none of the students of this govern- ment college are Christians. They have no tennis court, so the tennis court on the compound attracts the students, and the missionaries are using it as a means of getting near the students to influence them for Christianity. The time has not come when the mission can keep pace with the gcv- ernment schools,, and so hospital work is at present the best method of preaching Christ. A sentiment can thus be created in favor of Christian- ity if they are not entirely won to Christ. At present there is not one edicated native Ckristian leader in Assam. If the higher classes are to be won for Christ it will not be from the lower caste, which they uftterly despise, but from their own and among the degree students. One great leader among this class would be worth a dozen of the uneducated classes. Difficulties and Problems. The problems of the work in Assam JUST FOR A FEW DAYS This Bi Easy Chair \RTZ BROS.

MURPHY, | and the difficulties are summed up as foilows by Rev. A. J. Tuttlk First—The language difficult. There are 13 different dialects to learn, which is a handicap. | Second—The literature problem is a | big one. How can they prepare Christian literature in so many | tongues? If all the literature could be prepared In pure Assamene it would save much time and expense and labor. Third—The educational problem is ancther one to cope with. The gov-! ernment wants to keep the tribes sep- | arate and educate them in their own language, so as to keep them from uniting and rising in rebellion. There is already unrest, and so the English do not want them to receive too much education.’ There is not one high school where there is Christian edu- cation. The Servant Problem. Among one of the trials which the misstonaries have to contend with is the servant problem. A sweep- er will do nothing else. The waler carrier can perform no other labor. The cook would leave if you asked him to carry a bundle, and all the servants would leave if you should serve beef at vour table. Another compound visited by Mrs. Gale and party was that at Jerhal. They were much impressed with the neatness of the compound. Here ev- ery pupil is taught to do some kind of work, and as there are no caste pupils this can be don They sited the boys’ dormitory,which is primitive, but suited to the needs of the boys in that country. The beds are of boards, over which is thrown a mat of bamboo. AtJ the head of the bed is a rack for their books. 2 - Preparing Dinner. At the cook house, where the party visited, dinner was being prepared. The rice used is bought unhulled.

The work here is well worthy of proper support and help. I Farewell to Assam. ! From there the party went to Gola- ghat to attend the All-Assam associa- tion convention. Mrs. Gale described in detall the journey to that place and | the cordial reception given them upon arrival. She told of the various ad- dresses made at the convention and described the dedication of the Milton Mrs. Gale closed her | paper by speaking of the touching | scene at their departure from Assam. | The issionaries began the song God | Be With You Till We Meet Again and | all tried to sing, but throats choked and tears fell. They went to Ganhati the next day and took the ferry across | the riv to the cars which carried them to northern India. Mrs. Gale | brought her valuable paper to an end with the following: “Goodbye, Assam. We are going| home to tell our friends in America to take good care of their child here, glve | it a chance to live, and grow and prosper.” NORWICH HEALTH BETTER THAN STATE AVERAGE., { | ] 42 Deaths Gave Rate of 15.5 for April— In State Was 16.6. The April report of Secretary Town- | send of the Connecticut state board of health ‘shows that Norwich had 43 deaths with a death rate of 15.5. The deaths included two each from tuber- culoeis of the lungs and lobar bfoncho | pneumonia and one each of erysipelas | and diphtheria and croup. Norwich had three cases of scarlet fever, four cases of diphtheria and croup and two cases of tuberculosis. New london had a death rate of 17 for 33 deaths. These included three each from cancer and diarrhoea under five years, two from tuberculosis of the lungs, one from lobar and broncho- pneumonia and 24 from all other dis- euses. There were flve cases of meas- les in that city, six cases of scarlet fever. one case of infantile paralysis, six cases of whooping cougp, Tfour cases of typhoid fever and nine cases | of tuberculosis. There were three deaths in public instlitutions in New Lgndon in April, | and four in those of Norwich. By mortality reports received there were 1,637 deaths for the state during | April. This was 209 less than in March | and 130 more than in April of last year | ! and 112 more than than the average| number of deaths during April for the flve years preceding. The death rate was 16.3 for the large towns, 14.7 for the small towns and 16.6 for the whole | state.

It was the youthful conse- ut the Ouimet who played as the British critics had ex- pected Travers to play. The open champion showed himself to be a bril- liant and resourceful golfer.
