ELDER
Of Christian Catholic
Church Thanks Zion
Eor His Escape From Death at Hands
OF Mansfield Mob.

For several weeks, elders Of the
Dowie church have been In this State
organizing congregations in the vari-
Gus cities. At Mansfield recently one
of the elders was mobbed. He was
driven from the city and is now in
Canton.
The local believers have organized
an Akron branch of the church and
they will read with interest the follow
special from Mansfield in reference
to the future movements of the elder.
He said:
II consider this miraculous escape,
glory be to Zion. Dowie was mobbed,
but he never passed through an ordeal
like this. 1t was my first experience
with mob. don't want any more
of it."
When asked what thoughts were
passing through his mind when he was
being hustled away to be tarred and
feathered Fockler said: 81 had this
one thought--keep on my feet, keep on
my feet. Had fallen the mob would
have tramplcd the life out of me. III
leave Mansfield, but will not say that
| will not return
Fockler, after being taken from the
hands of the frenzied mob, telegraph
ed Dowie apprising him of his "mirac
ulous" escape, and asked for instruc-
tions. Mayor Brown. however, in
formed Fockler that his life would he
in danger if he remained in the city
prison, as crowds We're beginning to
gather about the Jail, and Fockler was
persuaded to escape before receiving
instructions from headquarters. Fock-
Ter complained of severe pains in the
body, and IL was thought that he was
injured internally. Physicians were
called, but Fockler refused to be ad-
minstered TO.
When Fockler arrived in Gallon he
presented Mayor Brown communica
ton from Dowie, saying: Long ar
ticlcs in the Mansfield press have made
me aware that abusive and threaten
ing and utterly unwarranted language
concerning Rev. c. r. Fockler elder
in charge of tue Christian Catholic
church in Mansfield, has been USED
with evident intention of urring up tho
rabble to commit an assault upon ouI
elder, If not to destroy his life"
Dowie concludes by saying he vii
hold the city responsible for Fockleri
safety.
Fockler intimated that he would nov
be martyr in Dowies church. Chi
cngo papers state that Dowie ordere,
Fockler to return to Mansfield unde
: penalty of being expelled from tn
church. He certainly knew ther
would be trouble after he had ono
; been sought by a mob.

Virgil P. Kline.
A Columbus Labor Leader Writes to
Col. Bryan.

There seems to have been good
cause for the resignation Of Hen
ry A. Apthorp. of Ashtabula, from the
Board of Managers Of .theohio Reform
atory according to the following COM
munieation sent to MI Bryan by John
f. McNamee of Columbus. 1t follows;
Columbus, o., July "a 1900
ITO the Hon. w j. Bryan. Next Pres
ident of the United States, LINCOLN
Neb.
"Dear Sir. As a member for over IL
years of organized labor associations
and having been in positions upwards
of four years to ascertain the facts,
and after consultation with n large
number OF my fellow associates. we
deem II advisable to notify you that
the recent public withdrawal from the
Board of Managers of the Ohio State
Reformatory, on the part of the late
Henry \. Apthorp, Of Ashtabua, o., Is
not a political calamity. Mr. Apthorp
In pathetic and glowing terms makes
an open confession to the Governor
of the state of Ohio that he dare not
sail under false colors any longer; that
he is not Democrat and has not been
since your first nomination In 1895, and
for that reason he cannot further hold
the position as member of such board
and resigns TO give place TO Demo
crat as required by law; this withdraw
al from the Democratic party on the
part of Mr.. Apthorp. following so
quickly on the heels OF the public an
nouneement by Virgil =. yNline, of
Cleveland, that he could not support
Bryan, as he was Il gold Democrat,
are very valuable pointers to your
honor and all friends OF the people.
Mr.. Kline is the attorney of record of
the Standard on trust and his Demo
cratic friends have openly asserted
that he obtained that position original
ly because OF his strong Democratic
influence with the masses, but he has
long since ceased to delude his former
followers. Mr.. Apthorp, who SO tear
fully regrets to leave the Democratic
party, Is the open and notorious hiret
agent OF the standard Oil trust, as ev
cry member OF the three last leglsla
lures in Ohio can testify to.
'aow Henry Apthorp could remain
as press agent and general roustahou
for the Standard Oh trust and at tn,
same time be a loyal Democrat and |
supporter Of your honor, ns a fearless
champion OF the common people, hi
acquaintnnces could never understand
We believe In Ohio, that for ever.
Standard OIL magnate and every trus
hlreling. and every corruptlomst o
the people through the agencies of tn
trust, that may leave the Democrati
party, now or before November next
hundreds OF farmers and thousands o
honest laborers who Remember tn
Bull Pen will take their place and b
found voting for w. j. Bryan.
yale, vale, vale, Apthorp, Kiln,

lings. Yours truly,

Eight Year Old Boy
Found In Canal.
Supposed That He Had Gone to the
Circus.

Leo Mooney, aged eight years, son Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Patrick Mooney, of 50i
Water ST., was accidentally drowned
Tuesday afternoon.
The body was found at $50 o'clock,
in the canal near lock 1.
The little fellow, with his brother
and sister went TO see the circus par
ade shortly before noon. They return
ed home, and while dinner was being
placed upon the table, Leo again left
the house. IL was thought that lie
had started for the show grounds. and
after the family had finished their din
ner, search was instituted. The
circus was visited but no trace of the
lad could he found. Finally, 1t was
suggested that, If the boy had drown
ed his straw hat would be floating
upon the water. This proved to be
correct, and the hat was found by a
neighbor. Efforts to find the body
proved fruitless, until nearly dark
The boys father, assisted by friends
waded aud swan about the water try
ing to get trace of the body. Final
ly, it was found by Mr.. Mooney, neal
the channel In five feet of water. II
Is believed that the boy was playing
upon the steamer in the harbor, ant
fell off, and passing boats worked thu
body to the center of the canal.
