which lasts eight or nine days, a number of these missionaries, in somewhat reduced health, after the hard work of the winter term, went to Miznoshita, a watering pl ¢3 a little distance away, where the mountaia air is said to be very pure and invigurating. In this party were Rev. J. A. Large, his wife and infant child. Mr. Large, who is Canadian born, (his parents still live, I be- lieve, somewhere in Ontario) was one of the divinity teachers of the beys’ schvol, while Mrs. Large held the position of the lady principal of the girls’ school. The in- tention of these missionaries was to return home on Saturday, 6th inst., but for some unaccountable reason some of the party felt as though they should come a day earlier, and among these were Mr. and Mrs. Large. Taking the afternoon train of that day théy reached Azabu about eight o'clock in the evening. The Larges, together with sume of the young lady teachers, live in a part of the building used for the girls’ school, Tired by the iong journey, they retired about ten o’clock. Two hours later

TWO MEN WITH THEIR FACES MASKED

and their Japanese robes tucked under girdles, effected an entrance to the building by a glass door in one of the rear parts, crept stealthily along a narrow hall and en- tered the reception room of the school, where they confronted the night watch aan, whom they at once proceeded to threaten with instant death if he refused to indicate the position of the money box. They wore tight trousers. after the manner of the coolies, had Japanese socks on their feet, and were judged to be young men about 26 yearsof age. The watchman succumbed to their vile threats, and at once conducted them to the office of the school where they found the safe, but not being able to open it without the keys, they again turned to the watchman and demanded that he shoula lead the way upstairs to where Mr. Large | slept, in order that they might secure what they wanted. The room where the Larges slept lies at the head of a front stairs, off a corridor only two and a half feet wide. ' With what definite purpose the two house- breakers entered this sleeping apartment, whether to obtain the keys of the safe with- out disturbing the sleepers, or to possess themselves of such at any cost, cannot be known until they are arrested. At any rate their movements were not so guarded that they failed to awaken Mrs. Large. Sitting up in bed, only faintly conscious of what was taking place in her room, she at once asked (in Japanese) nan deska (what's it?) and the answer was yo ji-ga-a-ru (we have a little business).

doubt, WERE KEEN-EDGED SWORDS.

Scarcely had the men made the reply al- ready indicated when Mr. Large awoke and sprang to his feet, and without any cere- mony, proceeded to action at once. The men so suddenly confrouted by a brave and vigorous young man, began to beat a re- ' treat toward the open door, at the same time wielding their sharp swords as they did so. Poor Large, wounded, as no doubt he was by their first blows, followed his assassins into the narrow hall at the head of the stairs when the deadly encounter en- sued. In the meantime Mrs. Large herself sprang from the bed into the corridor and began to interpose her person between her husband and the cruel burglars, but a sharp sword blow upon the right side of her head, as well upon her hand, with which she en-

| deavored to grasp the deadly weapon (the

two first fingers of her right hand were, severed and another one badly wounded) drove the poor brave woman back in her| room. Her despairing cry awakened the| two Misses Hart, who were sleeping in an adjoining room. One of these young ladies (Miss Lizzie Hart, who is a daughter of ene | of our Methodist ministers in Nova Scotia, | and who has recently come to Japan), im- mediately rushed into the hall, but only in time to see Mr, Large fall in « pool of blood and his miserable murderers flee. Almost at the same moment Miss Nellie Hart came forth, and these two brave! young ladies assisted Mrs. Large to carry

his bed. Then Mrs. Large, using her left

that funflinching and persistent spirit of bravery shown by poor Large himself as he again and again, empty-handed, rushes upon these two men armed with drawn swords, which were wielded with that skill which only Japanese possess. To endeavor to explore the motive which actuated the deceased gertleman in rushing upon his murderers so fearlessly, and we might al- most say, recklessly, is a very difficult undertaking. Some say he, like his wife, mistook tne swords for bambovus. Others say his thought was the safety of the other lady teachers in the adjoining chambers. His wife thinks he sacriticed his life for her sake. Be these opinions as they may, we cannot but ever look upon his act as one inspired by the greatest bravery, and it is very probable we have another ex- ample of the true, self-sacrificing heroism which Christianity alone can inspire.

Since the moment of the sad tragedy a great many conjectures have gone forth in reference to the intentions the burglars had. To suppose that there was anything of a personal element in that intention is very absurd. Mr. Large was universally beloved and his wife equally so. That these

it is the first of the kind that has occurred since the Protestant foreign missionary came to Japan—can have no possible inter- national bearing whatever, except in the mind of those who are either iguorant of the circumstauces or inclined to prejudice. A government that took such prompt measures to detect the guilty and bring such to punishment, cannot surely be blamed. The chief of the metropolitan police, with all his force, is givirg the mat- ter his whole attention, and while no very important clue has so far been discovered, the authorities are certain that the burglars will yet be brought to justice.

When poor Large’s body was examined, it was found that he had received eleven wounds in all—three deep cuts on the head, two in the neck, and the rest on the upper part of the body. Evidently, after

he fell, a sword was driven clear through ;

his body. Mr. Lirge was only Sl years old, and has been in Japan about four or tive yeara, and his wife the same length of time. They were married at Azabu some two years ago. The funeral on Tuesday was very largely attended. Mrs. Large is slowly but surely recovering. She is won- derfully sustained by divine grace in this dark and terrible day of sorrow. Yours, J. M.

and trade has been generally slack.

Burbanks, stars, etc , are ruling lower and have to be choice to bring 80c. Island Chenangoes in liberal supply and choice fresh stock selling at 80 cts.

Receipts of eggs have been heavy this week, but so large a part of the arrivals has been taken off the market for storage that the supply offering has been moderate. Prices made a slight advance early in the week and since then have ruled quite firm at 13c. for choice western, with some extra marks at 134. P. E.
