Fatally Burned While Dressing Hair
Jury Says Accidental Death.

Chicago, May 15.-Esther Dowie,
daughter of DR. Alexander Dowie.
proprietor of "Zion,'' died. last night, of
burns. having suffered for hours with
out medical attendance, while Elijah
H." prayed over her, his supplication
lasting all day.
Miss Dowie was % years of age and
4 student at the University of Chicago
Yesterday morning, her hair caught fire
from a gas jet and her head and face
We're horribly burned. Nurses placed
salvc ON the patients wounds, as the
Dowie doctrine permits of the use of
medicines externally
The patient died at o'clock in
| the evening. in great agony, having re-
turned TO consciousness a short time
before.
News Of the death did not become
known until today. when the coroner
was notified
AT the inquest, Or" Dowie was the
first witness. He frequently broke
down under his grief. He declared that
his daughters night robe had been
burned from her body and that vaseline
had been rubbed on her by Beacon
Spiescher's orders. Spiescher has 4
license to practice medicine.
The witness declared that during the
afternoon the patients condition had
become very serious and that Dr. Camp
bell. medical practitioner, had been
sent for TO consult with Or. Spiescher.
Campbell, the witness said. had said
there was little hope. Dowie declared
that when Esther regained conscious
ness she asked him to pray for her. At
no time. he said, had she asked for
medical attendance.
The jury then returned a verdict that
death was due to burns accidentally re-
ceived.

The date of the hearing on the liquors
recently seized by Sheriff Pennell at the
Express cos. office has been set for
next Monday. Judge Bacheller informs
US that the company is to put in a
claim for the liquors, ON the ground
that they were in transit as interstate
commerce, and not having been deliv-
cred to the consignees, We're not liable
to seizure by State authorities. Six of
the seven packages were seized i'm the
delivery room Of the Express COS. office
ana one was taken from the trucks at
the station. Some We're marked for
Skowhegan parties and some for parties
living in Canaan. This feature of the
constitution is causing the officials con-
siderable embarrassment in their efforts
to stop the traffic.

The carpenters. Thursday, completed
the work of relaying the sidewalk in
front of ID barrack, opposite headGuar-
ters. The new walk is the same width
as the old. but the bank has been cut
away somewhat, adding to the width
OF the street, which is at this point
hardly adequate for the amount of
travel passing through it. 1t is expect
ed that the new road. when completed,
will somewhat relieve the congestion OF
this thoroughfa-e by diverting some OF
the transient travel from Augusta to
points east. the new route being some
what shorter than the drive through
the grounds. and at the same time af-
fording an excellent view of the Home

gave but one base on balls and struck

morning for slight fire on the roof of
the building in Depot Square, formerly
occupied by George Williams as sa-

from the funnel of the blacksmith shop
which is in the next building. Only one
stream of water was required to eXtin

small space on the roof was burned. The
locality was a bad one for a fire to be

buildings from the back and the buildings
are set very closely together and if a fire
gained considerable headway the dam
