"First Apostle of Zion Again Vigor
ousIy Denounced,

OlSly DCilOQnCCU.
Zion City, Ill, April 9.-With the
approval of thousands of Doweites in
q meeting, General Overseer Glenn
Voliva denounced John Alexander
Dowies as a spendthrift, liar and triat-
or. and was in turn promised support
as leader of the Christian Catholic
Church in Zion, to fill the place Of
!he founder of the church, now deposed
for his rights.
When, after denouncing Dowie,
Overseer VOliva suddenly demanded a
decision of the audience which crowd
ed Shiloh tabernacle as to who should
be their future leader, the 5000 per.
sons in the auditorium rose as one
person and signified their willingness
to follow Voiva to the end.
On the platform with Voliva were
Mrs. John Alexander Dowie Judge
Barnes, head of the law department of
Zion City, and Overseers Speicher,
EXcell Cantel and Granger.
A message was received from
Dowie, stating that he would reach

BRUTAL MURDER AT SCRANTON
Polish Teamster, Said to Be Wealthy,
Killed and Robbed.

Scranton, Pa, April 7.-GeOrge We
nefski, a Polish teamster, who lived
alone on Crown avenue, on the out
skirts of South Scranton, was brutally
murdered. His partially denuded body
was found on a refuse heap near his
barn by neighbOr. Robbery was
likely the motive. He was reputed to
be wealthy, and that he carried his
wealth in money belt. which he wore
next to his body. The fact that his
shirts were pulled up and his trousers
down indicated that the murderer or
murderers locked for the money belt,
and if it was there, got it. Another
indication that they got the belt is the
fact that a few dollars in the pockets
of the dead mans clothes was not
taken.
Wenefskis skull was battered in, but
no weapon could be found at the scene
of the crime. AS yet the police have
no clue to the perpetrators of the deed
but they are satisfied that robbery was
the motive and that parties acquainted
with Wenefski and his habits are guilty
of the awful crime.
