FUGITIVES SHOT.
Escaped Murderers from the Jail in
Pittsburg, Pa, Captured After
Desperate Fight.

Butler, Pa, Feb. With half a doz-
en- or more bullet wounds in their
bodies, Edward and John Biddle, the
murderers who escaped from the AL
egheny county Jail in Pittsburg
Wedne sday, were captured by officers
after a desperate standing fight in a
sleigh on the road between Butler and
New Castle yesterday afternoon.
Mrs. Kate Soffel, the wife of the Jail
warden, who supplied them with saws
and revolvers and then ran away with
them, was caught with them. When
the officers began firing on them she i'm
plored Edward Biddle, the hands
murderer with whom she was infatu-
ated, to shoot her. With curse he
threw her arms from around his neck
and turned to battle with the officers
who had brought the trio to bay.
She then sent bullet from "a re-
volver into her own breast. Doctors
say Edward Biddle will die, but his
brother and Mrs. Soffel will recover.

DECISION AGAINST DOWIE.
Loses Every Point in His Contention
with Stevenson Over Lace-Mak-
ing Industries.


Chicago, Feb. Judge Tuley, in
a decision rendered Friday, appoint
ed Elmer Washburn receiver for the
Dowie lace industries and ruled
against the shrewd faith healer in
almost every contention raised in
the suit brought by his brother-in-
law, Samuel Stevenson. The chancel-
lor held that the agreement entered
into by Dowie and Stevenson on the
night of August 4, 1900, wherein
Dowie gained control of the Eng
lishman's property, was void on the
ground of undue influence, and that
the contract of April ~, 1900, claimed
by Stevenson to be the true agree
ment. was valid instrument.
The court denounced the business
and religious methods of Dowie and
declared him guilty of questionable
methods in his dealings with Steven
son. The decision deals with practical
ly every phase of Zion, and in every
important point Dowie's methods are
found to be tainted with fraud" His
claim to being an agent of the AL
mighty is scored, and his financial
schemes are declared to be founded on
credulity, avarice and blind faith.

HOLLAND WANTS PEACE.
Addresses Note to Great Britain sug-
gestipg Way to End War in
South Africa.

London, Jan. 29.-The government
leader, A. J. Balfour, announced in the
house of commons Tuesday that no
overtures for peace had been received
from anyone authorized to speak in
behalf of the Beers. A communica ton
was, however, received late Saturday
last from the Dutch government which
was now under consideration. Mr..
Balfour hoped shortly to lay the COM
munication and the reply to it before
the house.
The government of Holland has Of
ferred in the most friendly terms
to help in bringing about peace
in South Africa In a commu-
nication to the British govern
ment the Dutch government sug-
gests that it might be permitted to
act as sort of diplomatic agent for
the Boer delegates. The government,
however, expressly disavows any at
tempt to intervene, and does not
mention any terms.
London, Jan. Sit is reported that
Lord Lansdowne's reply to the Dutch
foreign minister indicates that the
lack of authority to speak for the
Beers and the absence of any tangible
proposals render the overtures of the
Dutch government unserviceable, even
as basis for negotiations.

living in New Zealand, cook their po-

very novel way. There are several
volcanoes in the land, and many of

steam and hot water issue from the
ground. The natives make use of these
in preparing their meals.
