(Received Lost' Night, .5.5 o'clock.)
SHANGHAI, January 11
The authorities at Nanking pretended to accept the Catholic Fatheis' offer to build a lazar house for destitute lepers, who'have been living for some years a good few miles outside the city. They dug a- pit on. a parade-ground, which they-partly filled with wood, soaked in kerosene. ,They'drove the. lepers into this pit at the point of the bayonet. Thirtynine lepers were either shot or incinerated, in the presence of largo crowds. A fortieth was afterwards Bhot.
