, Columbus, Aug. 20.--Attorney Fred
erick s. Marquis, Of Mansfield, who is
in Columbus on business, states that
the people Of that city are as firm as
ever In their position against Dowie
and his eleders. The citizens, he de-
clares, will never tolerate the presence
OF Zionites again, and 1t IL his belief
that It would be folly to send troops
to Mansfield to protect the elders. The
masses would behave while the SOL
diers remained in the city, but the
moment they left serious trouble would
follow.
Although the community is orderly
now 1t would need only one descent by
the elders to place public sentiment
at a boiling point.
Attorney Marquis called on Governor
Nash, and advised against sending
troops to Mansfield, for the reasons
cited in the foregoing paragraphs.
Attorney Marquis blames Fockler for
starting all the trouble. The man
roundly abused the citizens and made
slanderous assertions about the work.
Ing girls Of the city. Originally public
indignation was directed against Fock-
Ter more than his doctrine, but the per-
nicious features of the belief which
have developed, have placed both
UNDER THE BAN JOINTLY.
1t Is strongly claimed that the death
OF two infants and two cases Of insanity
are directly traceable to the activity
Of the Zion elders.
The people who have not yet forgot
ten the vilifcation Of their city in the
Leaves Of Healing" the organ of the
Dowieites. copies of which were distrib-
uted lavishly in Mansfield several
weeks ago. Every church in the city,
Catholic or Protestant, 1t made no Diff
ference, secret orders and public insti-
tutions, We're viciously attacked.
1t Is not likely that the citizens
would become SO wrought up that lynch
law would hold sway. but II the elders
return to the city it is extremely prob
able that somebody will get hurt.
The fines Of the persons who have
been indicted for completely in the dis
turbance of several weeks ago, will be
paid without loss to them. Attorney
Marquis says his statements reflect the
sentiments Of the great majority of the
people.
EIGHTH's GOOD SHOWING.
3 Attorney Marquis is also major Of one
OF the battalions of the Eighth regi-
ment, o. N. G., and he pronounces the
recent encampment at New Philadel-
phia, the best the command ever had.
Sixty-fve per cent Of the regiment is
new blood and there are three new
companies. Despite this, the regiment
learned much and acquitted itself well
In camp. At target practice the ay-
erage was IA points out of a possible

range was an admirable one and 1t
ad5oined the camp grounds. At the
previous encampment Of the regiment
at Steubenville, a march Of nearly four
miles was necessary to reach range.

they affect the soldiers nerves, and he

The reason why Minerva park, near
olumbus, was not selected for the
Eighth's encampment, was that SOL
diers are always stationed in Column
bus, and the novelty Of seeing them
terest is displayed in encampments OF
soldiers here by the residents.
