NEW RELIGIOUS SECT.
Started by q Negro In q New York
City.


Oity.
1t Is said that q peculiar religious
sect ia getting q foothold In the city
OF Mlddletown, N. Y. 1t Is the
Church Of God and Saints Of Christ
and is founded on lines similar to
Alexander Dowie's Church Of Zion,
and like that it has q head who pro.
claims himself Gods prophet and
mouthpiece. William S. Crowdy, of
Washington, D. O., Is the prophet
The church knows NJ color line, but
as the prophet is a negro the majority
Of converts are from the negro raco.
A branch OF the church was organ
lied In this city some weeks ago by
an Intelligent negro, John II. Allen,
from Glover, Va, and already 1T has
made fourteen black and one white
convert. The keeping of the Ten
Commandments and observing Of
Saturday as the Sabbath are the
strong points of the Church Of G0d
Prophet Orowdy, If he had q white
skin, would much resemble Alexander
Dowie, and his methods appear az If
copied from Dowle's. He Publishes q
newspaper, the Weekly Prophet,
which ia the official organ OF The
Church Of God, and Its chief end
seems to be to urge the members to
send In contributions to Crowdy.
Members OF the church have tic
contribute 10 per cent Of their earn
ings, which, with all other moneys
collected, goes to Prophet Orowdy.
The members are told that Crowdy it
omnisccient and that nothing they dc
escapes his observation. Particular
stress is laid IN the fact that 1t Is i'm
possible to fool the prophet In regard
to the earnings OF the followers, anC
1t Is suggested that II any Of then
tried to mig" In their 10 per cent
contributions swift punishment would
follow. The prophet he's g scheme Of
building o holy city at Bclleville, Va
similar to Dowie's ZION city. Thu

held in this city. The town began TO

UNPRECEDENTED HEAVY
BUYING OF STEEL RAILS
1t is Estimated That One Million Tons
Are Now Being Negotiated For.

Cleveland Ohio, May l9.-The Iron
Trade Review says:
The very great prosperity of the rail
roads, 80 closely connected with that
of the iron and steel business, has been
reflected for many months in unpre-
eedentedly heavy purchases of rails
and that this policy of liberal buying
is not to be abandoned is clearly shown
by the heavy orders already placed
and others pending. 1t is estimated
that 100000 tons Of steel rails for
1907 delivery has been under negctia-
tions and that fully half of this tom
mage has been placed. The Illinois
Steel Company, which has already been
patronized hbeIally by western rail-
roads, will probably book orders for
1907 considerably in excess of its pres
ent capacity with the expectation that
the new mill at Gary, Ind, will be com
pleted in time to assist in filling orders.
The demand for structural material
shows some diminution but mills are
very busy on old orders. The San
Francisco demand has not been heard
from to any appreciable extent.
