ZION CITY BY LIMELIeHT.
Deacon Daniel Sloan Will Give Stere-
 optlcan Exhibition This Evening.

Deacon Daniel Stone of Zion City, H., assisted by the Rev. w. D. Gay of Mont gomery, will give free stereouticon ex- French music house of the wonderful city now being built along the shore of Lake Michigan by John Alexander Dowie.
 Zion City is a remarkable example of what perseverance will accomplish and is now the home of a religious sect num- bering more than a million adherents. The population Is 10 GOO, and the property value Is estimated at S35,000,000. Mir Sloan will show by means of stereopticon views imposing buildings and industries of the town, a panorama, and pictures of those who have been miraculously healed by the new faith. This lecture has been given in all the large cities of the coun- try and has received very favorable com mendation.
 Scenes from the City of Zion are partic- ularly interesting just now on account of the interest aroused in Dowie's crusade on New York City. "Elija IT. will attempt the conversion of the metropolis accom- panied by his white-robed choir of 750 voices, brass band of fifty pieces, and a restoration host" numbering over 5000 persons. Madison Square Garden has been engaged at an expense of 5000 a night, and the prophet intends to stir New York with his preaching.
 The lecture tonight at the Jesse French music store is entirely free, and all in- terested In the work of the Zionists are invited to be present.

POLICE HAVE NOT THE RIGHT NEGRO Almost Certain This Is the Wrong Henry King CORONER HEARS TESTIMONY Women Fail to Identify Negro as the One They Wanted to Have Ar
 rested for Assault and
 Battery.
 
CORONER HEARS TESTIMONY

The coroner's jury yesterday heard the testimony of Annie Robinson and Lavenia White the two negro women who were arrested on suspicion of knowing the mur- de1er of Policeman James H. Mullin.
 The women both failed to identify Henry King as the negro who beat Annie Robin son, although others have stated that he had been living with one of the women. Several negroes were marched past them and then they were asked if any one or them was the negro that struck Annie Robinson They both shook their heads and said they did not know a single man in the crowd, and had never seen any Of them before.
 The women stated before the coroner s jury that they had never before seen the negro whom they asked Policeman Mullin to arrest, and that when he met them on the street 1t was the first time they re- membered talking to him.
 The negro man still admits being Henry King, but claims he was in Bessemer Sunday night. Investigation has shown that he spent the night with another ne- gro in Bessemer Sunday night, and the Bessemer negroes claim that he did not come to Birmingham.
 The police are now almost certain that they have not got the right negro, but the prisoner will be held until there is not a shadow of doubt. The only thing now which makes them believe there is the slightest chance for him to be the right negro is that several persons have identified him as a man who once lived with Annie Robinson. If this is true then the women. failed to recognize the negro merely to protect him. The police have no other clew which might lead to the arrest of the right negro.

EAST LAKE BEING
 DRAGGED FOR KNIFE
CORONER TRYING TO FIND IN- STRUMENT WITH WHICH MISS SHAFFiELD IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE KILLED HERSELF.

Coroner Parish is having the bottom of East Lake dragged with rakes where the remains of Miss Nellie Shaffeld were found Sunday morning, about Il o'clock, by Jim Wilson, Greek, and his dog
 The object is to find the knife with which the woman is supposed to have committed suicide If 1t is found it will strengthen the verdict of the eoroner's 8 jury that 1t was suicide and not mur- der, as a large number of people believe.
 Should the knife not be found, 1t will add flavor to the opinion that Miss Shaf- field was murdered, and that whoever murdered her carried the knife away with him.
 Several men were at work dragging the lake yesterday afternoon, but they were unsuccessful and Coroner Paris will per- sonally superintend the work today.

 The loss was something heavier than was at first estimated. It may go about S4500O, covered by between $25,000 and y30.- 900 insurance The estimates on the loss are: Buildings. $3O,000; stock. s12.0O0 and manchinery $7500. Of this amount s5000 was saved in one section of the building which contained about 100 tons of hay.
