heavily as the awkward wagon moved
slowly along. A tall. lean man with
short, stubby whiskers sat holding

within the covered body came the low
sound Of a woman's voice as she
,rooned the sweet melody of some old
fashioned hymn. Suddenly the sing

A head appeared from behind the Hap

Sleuths of the Coroner Fail to Get Him
Under Arrest.
Chicago, May 25.-John Alexander
Dowie, assisted by his faithful Zion"
guards, successfully eluded arrest yes
terday morning and escaped service of
coroner's mittimus. Surrounded by
his guards he walked into the criminal
court building and reached Judge Tu-
ley's court before alert and watchful
cOroner's sleuths were able to secure
service of the mittimus and place him
formally under arrest, although they
were very much alert in the matter.
Judge Tuley fixed the bail in the case
of Dowie and III. Worthington Judd at
$4,000 in each case, and in the cases
of Deaconesses Speicher and Bratsch
at $1,000 each.
Mrs, Judd died week ago after six
teen hours of suffering. Her infant
also died. She. was a member of
DOwie's congregation and it is
claimed did not ask for medical at
tendance. While Dowie and his ell
ders and the nurses were praying Mrs.
Judd, according to the verdict of ply
sicians who held an autopsy, burst a
blood vessel owing to intense pain.
The doctors said that the ordinary
treatment given by medical practi-
TONERS would have saved her life cas-
lily. After listening to this testimony
the coroner's jury brought in YER
dict holding Judd the two nurses, and
Dowie to await the action of the
grand Jury.

AT Knoxville the steamer Omega, the
largest vessel plying the Tennessee

Paris, May 23.-The audience which

Of Mr.. Morgan to thank NJ. Loubet for
the decoration of the Cross of the Le-

beginning of the year. The visit,
however, was wrapped in the deepest
mystery, the French authorities fear

The interview lasted a few minutes.
