A PECULIAR CASE
CIergymen Sued For Praying For
Lightning.

From the Philadelphia Times.
Methodist clergyman Of Strouds burg
court an answer to q prayer offered
calling for Divine vengeance on a
brewery. Capitalists recently
erected large brewery in Rev. Mr..
DixOn's parish. 1t caused much COM
vehement prayer from the minister,
in which he called upon God to strike
with ightning the new brewery being
erected in that place.
Shortly after, during q violent
partially wrecking it, and knocking
from a ladder two cons of another
Methodist minister who were at work
on the building.
No one was killed and the brewery
was not burned, but the prayer
created so much comment that the
capitalists, who are prominent in
social circles, decided that they we're
engaged In legitimate calling and
should not be'made the target of
pulpit tmprecations, "a il injured the
social standing of themselves and
families. Lawyers who have looked
up the case cay the men have q fret
class cause of action and it is stated
the case will be fought to finish.
Rev. Mr.. Dixon claims he cannot be
held responsible for an act of Provi-
dence which brought the ubjec is
into unenviable notoriety, and the
question promises to be one of the
most novel ever tried in Pennsyl-
vaDia court.

CUBAS CONVENTION
Three. Constitutions Sub
mitted Yesterday.

Havana. Dec. 4-The Cuban con
stitutiona convention resumed it's
sessions today. Three complete
constitutions were submitted by
General Rivera, Senior De Quesada
and the cclored Geueaal Morua, re-
spectively.
General Rivera's proposed con-
stitntion provides for President, a
Senate, a house of Representative, a
governor for each of the six prov
inoes. legi.l,tive body for each
province and one NE mber of the
House of Representatives for every
thirty Thousand inhabitants, with
election by popular vote. His scheme
called also for the election of three
electors in each municipal district,
whose duty it shall be be to elect q
Legislative body of eleven for the
province in which they reside. This
Legislative body shall elect the gov
ernor and four members of the Sen
ate. Finally the six legislatures
shall meet and choose the President,
who must be a native Cuban. Can
didates for Senatorial honors must
have incomes Of at least $1,000 a
year.
Genel al Rivera's plan is to have
the power vested in the ce tral gov
ernment and the convention virtually
pledged itelf to one State goveln-
meDt at yesterdays secret session.
Senor De Quesada's proposal would
centralize the government in Presi-
dent, Senate and House of Repre-
sentative, elected by the people, suff
rage being restricted to educational
qualifications.
General Morua offered for approx
al the constitution of the United
States, with the exception that any
one who fought in the war mir ht be
chosen President. His proposal
leaves the question of an army and
navy to be decided by Congress.
Senor Zayas offered clause pro-
viding that a judicial body higher
than the Supreme Court should be
elected by popular vote and provid
ing that any official removed from
office should have the right of appeal
to this body.
Senor Farrara submitted general
educational scheme.
