CITY COURT CASES
Attorneys Root and Pierce Disagree as to Method of Summnnirlg Witnesses

Attorneys Root and Pierce Disagree as
 to Method of Summoning Witnesses.
 Tn the city court to-day Judge Bur- pee presided. James Fruin was sen fenced to thirty days in the almshouse. He was found guilty of intoxication.
 Timothy Crowley for the same of fense was fined $5 and costs.
 Last night young fellow named Thomas Carpmill formed one of q flock of nightingales that considered themselves capable of singing. They went up North Main street shouting, thinking they were singing. Officer Hayes who was in their wake did not like their music, though he is not much of critic. He warned the singers to cease and go home, but the crowd thought they were all right. Officer Hayes thought they were all wrong and did not hesitate to tell them. But they were evidently determined to make the welkin ring with their music and then the officer waded into them and captured CarpmiIl. This morning CarpmiH looked as he evidently felt. There was not q note of music or money in or on him and with q warn ing he was let go.
 Joseph Zweibel manager of Belle view, for the one case of violating the liquor laws has grown into four and he plead not guilty to all of them. They are for selling drink to an intoxicated person; for allowing a minor to loiter in his premises; for keeping open his premises last Sunday and for selling last Sunday. He was represented by Attorney c. G. Root. When the wit nesses were called not response was given and there was some words be- tween the attorneys as to the method of having them notified Mr Pierce said they were present last Wednes- day morning without having been sum- moned and they were then notified to be present this morning. Mir Root thought they should have been proper ly summoned, even if MT Pierce's view Ewas correct. Court took recess for a few minutes while MT Pierce went out to find his witnesses, Harry Anson and Adolph Name and his wife. In ten minutes MT Pierce returned with the information that his principal wit ness, Mir Name, was i'll with collie all last night and was unable to come to court in consequence. The cases were then adjourned to Monday morn ing

MISS D0WIE
IS: DEAD
Her Fair Caught Fire in a
Gas Jet and She Was
Severely Burned.
DR.. Dowie Spent the Day in
Prayer but She Died in
Great Agony.

Chicago, May 15.-Esther Dowie,
daughter Of CDR Alexander Dowie, pro-
prietor Of "Zion," died last night of
burns, having suffered for hours while
elijah H. prayed over her.
Miss Dowie was 23 years old and a
student at the University Of Chicago.
Yesterday morning her hair caught Are
from gas let and ner head and face,
were horribly burned. Nurses placed
salve on the patients wounds. as the
Dowie doctrine allows the use Of medi-
cine externally.
Meanwhile the Divine Healer was
hurrying to the bedside from his new city
Of Zion at Waukegan. Upon his arrival
the attendants were excluded from the
room and Dowie sunk to his knees In
prayer. His 'supplicatons lasted all day.
He refused to cease even to take the
nourishment which his followers would
have pressed upon him.
The patient was unconscious much Of
the time. The patient died at 9 o'clock In
great agony, having returned to con
seriousness a short time before. News OF
the death did not come out until to-day
when the coroner was notified. An IN
quest was set for IL o'clock to-day.
A Doctor Was Sent For.
At the inquest DR.. Dowie was the frs
witness. ell frequently broke down IN.
der his grief. ell declared that hi:
daughters night robe had been burned
from her body and that vaseline had beer
rubbed on her by Deacon SGeicher's or

medicine. He declared that during the
afterno on the patients condition had be-
come very serious and that DR.. Campbell
medical practitioner, had been sent fol
tc consult with Dr. Speicher. DR.. Camp
bell, the witness said, had said there wa:
little hope. DR.. Dowie declared that whe1
Esther regained consciousness she asket
| him to pray for her. AT no time, HI
said, had she asked for medical attend

Under the leadership Of Senator Burrows
cratic senator's they began an agitation
which promises to increase the bitterness
of the fight over RECIPROCITY. 1T developed
lat in the afternoon that the democrats,
with practical iunanimity, will join the
beet sugar republican senators in prevent
ing the steering committee from carrying
out Its program. rs.
The dem ocrats want to force action upon
one Of the pending canal bills. They are
Indifferent as to which of the bills is
passed, although majority of them would
probably prefer the passage of: the Mica
ragua bill. Realizing, however, that that
measure is not as popular as it was few
months ago and that It's consideration
would provoke a protracted filibuster,
they are willing, If forced to accept the
alternative, that the Spooner bill, which
leaves the selection of the route for, the
! canal to the president, shall be passed.
They are even willing to accept the Hoar
bill, which fixes the limit of cost for con
struct ing the Nicaragua or Panama canal
at $3.50 900, 900.
Senator Spooner of Wisconsin,, who has
been regarded as a stalwart administra-
ton man, is known to be in sympathy
| with the beet sugar movement. He Is en-
gagged at the present time in drawing 4
bill providing for an elaborate system 81
rebates, which shall be paid to the Cuban
government. He expects to have this
ready for introduction in aEfew days. ~ ~ e
The president is not una ware OF the
character and extent Of the revolt against
his measure and is very much concerned.
! He expected that when he threatened I'd
call congress In special session to con.
slider Cuban reciprocity bill the
beet sugar senator's would promptly sur
render. In this he has been disappointed
As matter of fact they regard his
threats as pure bluff and are not much
concerned even If he is sincere They say
that If the president can afford to call !
special session they can afford to attend
the session. q
