ZIONIST LEADER SUED
BY BROTHER LAW

Chicago, Dec. 11.-Much interest cen
tered around the opening session of the
suit brought against Or" John Alex
ander Dowie, head of the Christian
Catholic Church, to force a receiver
ship for his Zion lace industries. A bill
of complaint filed by Dowie's brother
in-law, Samuel Stevenson, was read in
court, charging Dowie with having de-
frauded him of $185,000.
According to the bill Dowie ap-
preached Stevenson in England and
persuaded him to relinquish a lace
business earning 5000, 900 yearly income.
Stevenson relates that he married
Dowie's sister and gave her a wedding
dover of 10000, which was to be re-
turned to him in the form of stock in
the Zion lace industries. The plaintiff
said it was his belief he was Dowie's
co-partner, and that Dowie, by fraud,
had secured his name to paper giving
Dowie all rights in the company
charged that Dowie changed
papers on him when he supposed he
was signing joint-partnership agree
ments.
Dowie was not in court, but, through
attorneys, a general denial was en-
tered to all the charges. 1t further al
legged, that Stevenson was dismissed
from the Christian Catholic Church for
improper conduct.

ITALIAN SHOT TWICE
AS HE LAY IN BED

auckland, Mass, Dec. 11-With two
bullets in his head, fired by an unknown
person., Michael Zravion, an italian,
is dying at his home here. Zravion
claims the sound of a shot awakened
him after midnight, and he knew bull
let had hit him in the head. A second
shot was fired Immediately and anoth-
er bullet entered the mans head.
He managed to get out of bed, but
could not see his assailant. He
screamed. Mrs. Zravion came from
her room. Zravion says she was partly
dressed. He asked her to get help, but
she said she was afraid to go out in
the night The man himself then went
to the house of neighbor, who called
a doctor.
The physician said Zravion would die
and, at the mans request, he was car
ried back to his home.
Mrs. Zravion, who speaks but little
English, says she knows nothing of the
affair. The family apparently had
lived happy and were well-to-do.

MADAME NORDICA is
FIGHTING FOR FORTUNE

Sioux City, Ia, Dec. 11.-From relatives
of Madame NOrdica, the singer, whom
she visited while in this city few days
ago, it is learned that she has placed
with ex-Speaker Thomas B. Reed and an
other prominent attorney claim for be-
tween 100000 and $4,000 600, which she
says is due her as direct descendant of
Yehabod Norton.
Norton was a wealthy New England
ship owner during the Revolutionary war,
and had several ships and their cargoes
confiscated by French vessels. The gov
eminent is said to have secured indemni-
ty for the loss, but Nordica claims the
amount was never paid to Norton or his
heirs. She says she has established a
complete genealogy showing herself to be
the direct descendant and heir to Norton.

The CHICAGO Market

Chicago. Dec. 11.-UTniversal selling in
grains today placed the control OF mar
kets in the hands of the bears and praC-
tically routed the big bulge that has ter
rorized shorts for the past week. A faint
effort was made at times to support
prices, but the losses of today, with those
of yesterday, aggregated too much, ana
everything felt the disastrous depression.
May wheat closed 158 lower, May corn 1c.
down and May oats 1c. lower. Provisions
closed 211a to 25c. lower.
Liquidation and short selling enough to
press prices down PIC. tells the day S
story in wheat Commission houses took
advantage of a fair advance from yeSter-
days price at the opening and deluged
the pit with selling orders May opened
14d3s up to a shade lower at S29s to STA.
Receipts were depressed, both north
western and primary. Clearances were
small and the cash demand was only
moderate. There was rapid run OF
fluctuations, but by noon prices had
touched 1878 almost 4c. loss since Mon
day. At such declines shorts covered
well for profits. and at the close May re-
acted slightly, but closed very weak, l3s
lower at SOlsdA. SeabOard clearances in
wheat and flour were 36S, 600 bushels.
Business in corn was less heavy than in
wheat but the tendency favored the bear
side early. Shorts took advantage of
every soft spot to cover, and temporary
reactions were the result. May opened
rather steady, &c. lower to 1sc. higher,
partly influenced by better cables. Con-
siderable liquidation brought slumps to
&c. several times but at last May
crossed this line and shot down to 66$s,
decline of &c. since Monday. The close
was weak, 1c. lower than yesterday, at
661a.
Oats shared in the general weakness
and business was small. Outside selling
wa responsible for the decline and shorts
gave the market most of its support.
May opened steady, but at once slumped
down and sold down to 447s almost &c.
under Mondays top prices. The close
was weak, 1c. lower, at ass.
Provisions were weak, but not so much
so as grain. The natural tendency was
toward higher prices, but the grain in
fuence could not be fought off. Country
selling brought some depression. jan
uary pork closed Csc. lower at 1856, jan
uary lard, 2iac. down at 9.S5 and January
ribs ~ lower at 8.45.

SAYS NATIVES HAVE BEEN
SHOT IN COLD BLOOD

London, Dec 11-Lord Kitchener's
statement showing 81 instances in
which natives have been shot by the
Beers, and which involve the loss of
81 lives, was issued by the War Office
tonight
In some of the cases mentioned the
blacks were shot after an informal
court martial, or on being accused of
spying, but in numerous instances
Lord Kitchener indicates the natives
were shot in cold blood in order to hide
traces of the movements of the Boer
commandments
The period covered by Lord Kitch-
ener's statement is over one year.

WORK BEGUN ON RUINS

Work was started on the ruins of the

new house that the road is to build in the
place of the old one.
The new house will be larger and more
commodious than the old one. The freight
business of the road has grown so that at
this end of the road the two houses have
been found too small to accommodate the
large amount of freight that has to be
handled, and it was expected that an
other house would soon be built or an ad-
dition built to the one that was burned
down.

THE NEW BOARDER COULD
NO MORE Than TALK

MRS. Arthur Lacrosse, clearinghouse
keeper at 16 Orange Street, is very anX-
ious to have a conversation with a young
man, probably from Webster, who en-
gagged rooms at her place a week ago.
The young man was fluent talker, and
told Mrs. Lacrosse about the points of
interest in Webster. Tuesday night he
talked more than usual. Yesterday
morning the boarder was looked up after
a pair of shoes, a pair of trousers and
some stockings had been missed, and he
was missing too. Inspector Patrick
ODay will endeavor to discover the man.
