Does a Turn at Vaudeville i'm His
Pulpit. -
Chicago, June 26. - John Alexander
Dowie appeared in a new role. before
the congregation Of Zion Sunday. Fol

mud-slinging in part and Illustrated
his sermon with a vaudeville enter
tainment that was irresistible. First
he hiccoughed. and staggered in an at
tempt. to portray an imaginary drunk
student of the University of Chi
cago. Then he attempted Masonic
initiation. "A little. later, while urging
zion to double its tithes. he gave a per-
formance bordering on a song n
dance, and he wound up with a turn.
showing Ananias and Sapphira before
the judges. A spectacular element was
added by his revelation Of the latest
plot against his life.

he could not, therefore, sell them to
the Americans. After he had spoken
he broke down, weeping. Some of his

SIXTY LIVES LOST
REPORTS OF THE FLOOD IN THE
WEST VIRGINIA COAL FIELD
WERE EXAGGERATED.
EXACT SITUATION NOT. KNOWN
{ Will BE Several Days before Dea-
mite Information Regarding the
Loss Of Life and Damage Can BE
Obtained-Railroad IL flushing
Work to Reopen Communication.

Ing short statement by one OF the gen.
eral officers Of the Norfolk & Western
railroad summarizing the flood situa-
ton in the light Of the latest dispatches
was given to the Associated Press last
night:
Restoration Of telegraph line de-
velops that damage by flood was ex-
aggerated. Loss of life will not exceed
sixty or seventy-five, and damage to
property. including repairs to railroad
Inc coa corporations, will not exceed
$780, 900. 1t is expected the railway
will get a line opened through by to-
morrow or next day."
There was very little news received
here yesterday from the West Virginia
food. One train came in in the after
noon but not much new information
could be gained from the passengers.
The wires all being down west Of Blue
field, save one wire which goes
through to Ennis, but is being used as
a train wire, prevented the public from
gaining any additional particulars.
How many are dead is not definitely
known and it necessarily will be
several days yet before the exact num-
Der can be given as official, but the
various reports in circulation here are
that all the way from so to 200 per-
sons
Have e Drowned.
It is probably safe to assume the
former figures as being more correct
than the latter. The damage to prop
erty viii. amount to hundreds of thou
sands of dollars. Miles Of railroad
track are washed out and great gulches
have been created. The devastated
section covers an area of about twenty
miles west of Bluefield. 1t is a narrow
valley, not much wider than a broad
street in some places. Coal mines are
scattered all along the road. keystone,
the town reported to have been so
greatly damaged and which was at
first believed to be wiped out Of exis-
tence, is a village of between 1000 and
5000 people and is built along the mar
row valley and on the sides of the
bluffs. All reports agree that between
200 and 800 houses were swept away In
the Elkhorn valley, but, of course, not
all the occupants drowned. The rail-
road people are rushing material n
supplies to the Elkhorn. The Western
Union Telegraph officials in this city
say that the situation, so far as general
rews from the territory west of Blue
field is concerned, is unchanged II
they have nothing new to give out.

Charleston, w. Va, June 26.-Adjt.
| Gen. Baker, who resides in Parkers-
burg, reached the city yesterday and
Gov. White arrived last night from the
same place. While there has been no
demand upon them yet for troops
either on account Of the miners strike
or to prevent looting in the storm
stricken district, they are Doth consid-
ering that emergency may arise. 1t Is
the general opinion around the state
,house that the effect Of the calamity
will be to quiet the miners.

A FIGHT IN THE DARK.

Thomas V. Moore, aged 20, while
reading in his room at 100 o'clock yes
terday morning near Richmond, heard
tie rafting Of silver, and softly stepped
into the hall. He heard someone be.
low, and realized that burglar was
taking off the family silver. Without
hesitation he vaulted over the banisters
and alighted on the lower landing 10
the embrace OF burglar. Young
Moore's foot struck basket on the
burglars arm as he descended, sea ter.
ing silverware to the value OF $3.50 over
the stairs and hallway. The men
clinched, and q struggle ensued In the
pitchy darkness. Young Moore him
self is an athlete, and the unknown
burglar proved to be heavy, powerful
man. The two fought with natures
weapons down the stairs and into the
front hall. Not word was spoken,
but the battle was not quiet one. The
silver, scattered about the floor
jingled as it was knocked hither and
thither, chairs we're overturned with
a crash, and finally heavy fell
shook the entire building. Mr..
Moore had thrown his man, taken q
firm grip on his throat aud was chok-
Ing him vigorously. Just as the battle
was about to end in Mr.. Moore's favor
the man freed one OF bis arms and
struck him glaucing, but violent blow
on the side OF the head. Mr.. Moore
was dazed for moment, and the man,
taking advantage of his opportunity,
darted through the back door, which
be had left wide opsn, and made his
escape. The entire household had
been aroused by this time, and hurried
to the scene. They found the young
man out OF breath by reason OF his en-
counter, but 10 no way injured, except
for q knot on the side of the head. None
of the silver was missing. The young
man is a son of Capt. ]. B. Moore, a
widely known general insurance agent
in Richmond, whose residence is near
Bon Air. a suburban village near the
city. Mr.. Moore says his hallway
looked as lift had been struck by a cy-
clone when lights were brought. He
has offered reward for the burglar.
