Little Rock, Ark, April II. - John
Alexander Dowie passed through Lit
tie Rock at o'clock for Chicago
aboard the Mexican special The train
was more than five hours late. This
was partly due to the delay in Tex
arkana and also delay in crossing
the Saline river. When the train ap-
preached bridge at this point it was
seen that the structure was ablaze. AS
the train was late the engineer deter
mined not to take any chances on a
further tie up and ran straight across
the bridge Had the train been ten
minutes later the burning bridge must
have collapsed.
Dowie, learning OF the incident, de-
clared that this was a most favorable
omen for him. He says that the Lord
had purposely delayed the destruction
of the bridge to enable him to cross it.
Dowie says he has received divine
inspiration that he will triumph over
his enemies and will be established in
supreme authority at Zion.
