DoWIE DEPoSED.
self-styled Elijah Repudiated by His
Followers.

Chicugo.-At a meeting Sunday OF
5000 adherents of the Christian Catho-
lie church at Zion City. of which John
Alexander Dowie is the founder and
first apostle, Dowie's authority was
repudiated and Wilburg Glenn Voliva,
who for some time has been conduct
ing the affairs of the church, elected in
his stead.
Mrs. Dowie also repudated her hus-
band, and their son, Gladstone Dowie,
cast his lot with his mother and the
new leader.
Most of the officials OF the church
were present at the meeting and
Dowie was denounced by many OF
these as having deceived the people
and having wasted their money in ex
travagances. The meeting, however,
refused to hold that he had knowingly
erred, and John G. Speicher the for
mer overseer and once second in COM
mand to Dowie, who was recently de
posed peremptorily, declared Dowie to
be insane.
Mrs. Dowie in her address also up
held that declaration. The casting off
of the authority of John Alexander
Dowie followed the receipt Sunday of
an S0O-word telegram from Dowie.
who is in Mexico. in which he per-
emptorily ordered the immediate dis
charge OF Deacon Alexander Grain
ger, financial manager of Zion, who
has been one of the most aggressive
leaders in the effort to place the af
fairs of the church on secure founda-
ton. Dowie also announced in the
telegram that letter would follow in
which other officials were named for
deposition. A meeting OF the Zion
council of twelve followed immedi-
ately and 1t was decided to place the
affairs of the church before the mem
bers and settle the question of leader
ship.
The meeting was held Sunday after
noon and Overseer Voliva read the
long telegram from Dowie. A few
faint efforts at applause greeted the
reading, which was followed by a
storm of cheers for the new leader of
Zion as he arose from his chair and
advanced to the front OF the platform.
He invited DR.. Speicher. the former
oevrseer. to come to the platform and
take a seat Voliva then, amid dead
silence. announced that he refused to
remove Alexander Granger from
Office. This was the first publicly an

BLACK WOLF CUBS.
Seven Of Them Born in City Park,
Denver.

Black Jim, long the solitary bachelor
of the wolf pack in the City park in
closure, who scorned the company of
his kind, received congratulations yes
terday. Jim is the proud father of
seven very aristocratic and strong
lunged wolf cubs-his first children.
Jim's mate, Nellie. one of the original
gray wolves in the menagerie, has dug
a warm hole underneath the long
structure in the center of the inclos-
ure, and here she is making her home
with the new cubs.
Jim is good father. All the ami
mails admit IT.. He has scarcely left
the top of the hole in which his family
is resting since the happy event. And
on the other side of the hole, watching
with him. is Barker. the lifelong en-
envy OF jim with whom he has fought
many a battle since the two have been
placed together in the menagerie.
Barker jumps up to help Jim whenever
a curious bear noses his way towards
the hole. The animal keepers are un-
able TO account for this change OF
heart between Jim and Barker.
One thing about the new arrivals
that is especially pleasing to the keep
ers is that all the cubs are black. The
father &c an extremely rare specimen
of his race, and the seven children are
all of his rare and high-born color

MoFFAT ROAD PROGRESS.
Completion Of Its Own Line Into the
Denver Depot.

Denvcr-After four years of hard
work the Moffat railroad has at last
built into Denver, says the Republi-
can, Saturday morning. AT O'Clock
last evening when the engine of the
construction train gave a long, loud
whistle calling the men to knock of
work, il was at the Denver. Northwest
ern a. Pacific's own depot at Fifteenth
and Bassett streets.
Superintendent Deuel. does not know
exactly when the company will begin
using its own tracks. but il will be just
as soon as possible Al present the
company has an arrangement with the
Burlington road, which handles all its
trains in and out of the city, delivering
them at Utah Junction. This is very
expensive, costing not less than 500
a day, il is said.
Mr.. Moffat said yesterday that he
does not expect to get the road built
through TO Salt Lake before the end
of the two years. They are prepared
to put large force at work and rush
il, but il cannot be done unless labor
ers can be had. They can use 1000
men this summer If they can be had,
but there is a demand all over the
West for them. The Western Pacific
can use 5000 to 10000 of them in its
work.
The contracts are let for the Moffat
road to the firms now at work on the
line to Daniels pass, within thirty
miles of Heber, Utah. From this point
into Salt Lake the road will parallel
the Rio Grande Western. A short
branch line down 10 bennington, or
the Clark road. would cut off $50 miles
in the run to the Pacific coast.

And the great-grandfather used to tell

when lie was boy of 9-that is in the
year 1724-by an aged great-uncle OF
his who was nearly hundred at the

great-uncle used to tell Harmsworth's

heard the story when he was about 10

was then in his 9Sth year, having been
born in 1886. Sutclife went TO sea
