Dowie,. Reception at syaney

SYDNEY, N. s. w., Feb. 1e.--The "Rev. Elijah" Dowie started for Mel bourne after receiving what he de- clares to be the worst treatment of his life. The Dowie meetings at the town hall here were compelled to suspend, although the admission was by ticket only, and large force of police and disciples was present to prevent disor- der. A bowling mob gathered around Dowie's hotel after the meeting, and Dowie, fearing to return to his hotel, spent the night in his carriage driving about the streets. Eventually he found refuge in a hotel in the distant suburb of Coogee. Melbourne promises to treat Dowie worse than did Sydney.

He says Dan Patch will, in the future. be kept in fireproof sta bJe, if such a stable can be built.

SOCIALIST PARTY.
Talk of Independent Municipal Ticket
 Relna Put In the Field.

There has been some talk recently with reference to the socialist party placing ticket in the field at the general municipal election which takes places next May.
 In speaking of the matter Judge H. B. Abernathy, chairman of the city demo- cratic executive committee said yesterday afternoon.
 T have heard some little talk about the socialists putting out ticket for municipal office in the general election in May. However, place but little credence in such report. The members of the socialists party know or else they should know that they stand no show for votes in Birmingham. We have something like three thousand democrats pledged to sup- port the nominees of the party in the gen. eral municipal election, and I cannot see from what class the socialists would expect to get their support. I look upon the proposition as being a ridiculous one in the extreme.'
