GAINESVILLE, Wis, March 24.-Arthur
NJ. Newcomb, secretary to John Alex
ander Dowie, former GAINESVILLE
newspaper man, says Dowie's word is
still supreme in Zion, that his health

an option. He says Zion is land poor
and needed money, but was solvent.
Newcomb is here to meet Dowieties to
enlist their support He says Super
visor Volvira is entirely satisfactory to
Zion residents, and denies the sensa-
tional stories Of Dowie's deposition.

Newport. T. l., March 27.-The FGll
River lines big side wheel steamer
Plymouth was burned to the waters
edge the freight steamer City Of
Lowell was DANA ged. a long pier shed.
hosting shears, paintshOp and old rail
road station were destroyed and the
paint was scorched off three ether
steamers, the Puritan, the Priscilla
and the Naugatuck, by a fire early in
the day At one time the blaze threat
ened to wipe out the entire repairing
plant of the owners Of the line, the
New York. New Haven and Hartford
Railroad company. The loss is es.
timated at more than a million dol
lars.
No lives were lost, but thirteen care
takers. watchmen and firemen on
board the Plymouth were nearly
hemmed in, so rapid was the rush Of
the flames through the vessel. The
five steamers were all undergoing the
regular spring overhauling preparatory
to the summer season and the burned
pier shed contained considerable guam
tity of material for the work.
Discovery of the Flames.
The fire broke out in the Plymouth
shortly before 2 O'Clock in the morn
ing. The Waterman discovered flames
bursting from the saloon in the after
part of the boat. He quickly aroused
the men sleeping in the lower hull.
AS the men tumbled out of their hunks
and sought the stairs the flames were
already sweeping toward them and
scarcely one Of them had time to seize
his clothes in the rush for the upper
deck.
Within a few minutes the entire
city fire fighting force had been sum-
moned to the scene, but before the
first effective stream had been turned
on, the Plymouth was doomed and the
entire plant was threatened. The
steamer City of Lowell, which had
caught fire, was towed out into the
harbor by the tugs G. W. Morse. and
Solicitor. and the flames on her were
extinguished by the crew Of one Of the
tugs. In the meantime the flames had
enveloped the Plymouth from stem to
stern and had jumped to the tall
wooden hosting shears overhanging
the vessel, and to the pier shed.
Other Steamers Saved.
BY 2:3O o'clock the firemen gave up
hope of saving the shears and the shed.
The fire by that time had attacked the
paint shop and the old railroad sta
ton at the head of the pier and they
were quickly destroyed. The Morse
and the Solicitor steamed i'll again
through the smoke and burning brands
and tOwed the remaining steamers to
safety. The Puritan and Priscilla
were scorched. but, except from smoke.
their interior fittings were not dam
aged. The Naugatuck was undam-
aged. The firemen were able to pre-
vent further spread Of the flames.
The steamer Plymouth was a side
wheel vessel of $3.50 tons net burden
She was built at Chester. Pa, in 1890.
Her null was constructed of steel and
her interior fittings were nearly all of
wood She was 367 feet long and was
valued at nearly a million dollars. The
other losses aggregate about $4,000.

theory that the diamond is Of cosmic
later periods OF the earths formation,
there are evidences thereof the most
striking confirmation coming from
Arizona. Here on a broad plain, over
an area OF about five miles IN diane
ter, had been scattered one or two
thousand masses Of metallic iron The
fragments varying in weight from half
a ton 10 a fraction of an ounce. There
was little doubt these masses formed
part of a meteoric shower. although
no record existed as to when the fall
took place Curiously enough, near
the center where most of he meteor
ties had been found, was a crater with
raised edges three-quarters OF mile
in diameter and about 600 feet deep
bearing exactly The appearance which
would be produced had a mighty mass
Of iron struck the ground and buried
Itself deep under the surface. An an
cient metcorologist in cutting a sec

were injured by something vastly
harder than metallic iron, and soon
announced that he had found black
and transparent diamonds Since this
revelation diamond hunting in meteor

Brookcs nave made a successful find,
