4 birmingham (Ala.) dispatch says: The
most remarkable religious craze pervades
.he negroes near Bessemer and the country
intermediate between that rapidly growing
place and Birmingham. For some time
passed an old negro named Thomas Jack
son has been proclaiming himself as Daniel
the prophet and doing all kinds of singular
things The darkies in this section are ig-
norant and superstitious, and Jackson's
unaccountable actions and the great
powers which he claimed to have been in
vested with awed the simple-minded
negroes, and every day large numbers
were added to his followers.
Saturday last he persuaded three young
negro men that they were representatives
of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, the
three children of faith who entered the
fiery furnace of Nebuchadnezzar of old.
He proclaimed that the Schloss furnace.
where iron is melted, was the furnace of
Nebuchadnezzar and that they could enter
it and pass through without the smell of
fire. The three negroes-Dan Williams,
Peter Burtramp and Bill Verdier-calling
themselves the three children of Isreal,
under the influence of their new
prophet, deliberately entered the gate Of
the cupola of the furnace, and rushed
he"uiuus lsks-e +hay, conld he stopped into
the white heat of this melting iron. When
they failed to come out jackson, the
prophet, proclaimed that he saw
them rising in the air with the smoke Of
the furnace. attended by angels, and said
that they would revisit the earth again
reXt Sunday.
The negroes propose to meet at church
next Sunday and will continue in prayer
allday, Tobias Jackson leading, and will
await the descent of the three children of
Israel. The relatives of the negroes do
not seem at all disturbed.
