gro who was arrested in Marion
county on the 18th and held as sus-
pect in connection with the attempted
outrage Monday afternoon. On Sat

his name was Nathan attempted to
obtain a suit of clothes from the D.
J. Chandler Clothing Co. on a forged
order from Mr.. r. P. Stackhouse, Of
Dillon, who has a large plantation in
this county and is a frequent visitor.
The negro failed to secure the suit
as the forgery was detected and he
was promptly arrested. On the fol-
lowing Monday. he made his escape
from the Recorders court while the
room was crowded with Saturday
night drunks who were on trial. He
slipped out unnoticed, stole bicycle
and made off. It is said that he went
toward Marion county, where he is
supposed to have come from original

negro who is accused Of the attempt

investigations at the Marvin farm as
well as the cottages on the Bay Shore

fined in some of the cottages or farm
houses adjacent to the Marvin farm.
Horace Marvin, Jr., years old, dis
appeared from his fathers home over
a week ago, and in spite Of the most
diligent search not a trace of the lad
can be found. 1t is believed he was
kidnapped and is being held for ran
som.
Among the batch Of letters received
bv DR.. Marvin was one from Mechan'
icsville. N. Y, from F. A. Barker, OF
1S Newman avenue, in which he Is
certain that the Marvin child was
entertained with a man and woman at
Barker's home on Wednesday evening
of last week. A man and woman with a

Scranton, Pa, March 12.-James I.
Haviand, of New York, stock spec
ialist. charged with embezzling up
wards of $4,000 entrusted to him by
Scranton investors, was held in bail to
answer at court. Haviland was told
to keep out of copper by his clients
but it developed on Saturday that the
money was sunk by him in such
shares. Haviland was induced to come
here after he had telegraphed on Sat
urday for more money to protect his
holdings in a slumping market, and
was arrested on reaching the city. An
effort will be made to secure his re-
lease on habeas corpus proceedings.
The investors here in Haviland's s
scheme number more than 200, some
placing $500 with him and none less
than 500, on which the returns were
guaranteed to be not less than $6 to
81 weekly per S10O. More than 100
persons who had money in HaYlland' s
scheme threatened his life while the
hearing was in progress. When ne
was paroled in the constable's keeping

anv one who attempted an attack on
him. Persons living in Schuylkill and

PROPHET DowIE PASSES AWAY
Founder Of Zion City Dies PennIIsss
and Almost Forsaken.

and Almost i ForSaken.
Chicago, March 11.-Without kith or
kin at his bedside, with but a paltry
handful Of followers out of the hosts
who used to acclaim him glorious, with
hardly a dollar left of all the millions
that once he had, John Alexander
Dowie, self-styled Healer of God. Re-
incarnated Elijah, First Apostle of the
Christian Catholic Chlbch, and, accord
ing to his own declaration. the last Of
the prophets, died a miserable and raw
ing victim of paralysis. There were
present with him when he died only
Judge D. N. Barnes, his attorney, and
two personal attendants, and these
looked upon him as he lay dying, not
as an apostle in a state Of transition,
but as a lunatic finding relief from
agony of mind and body.
The announcement of Dowie's death
came as a surprise to his former fol-
lowers. It was known that he was
falling, but not that he was seriously
Ill. Since he was deposed from the
leadership in Zion City 1t had been
Dowie's custom to hold religious SER
vices every Sunday afternoon in the
parlor of Shiloh House. About 200 Of
his original followers remained faith
full and attended these services. Dowie
always wore his apostolic robes and
made a characteristic address. Five
weeks ago these meetings ceased and
Dowie appeared no longer in public.
Judge Barnes, who was at the bed
side of Dowie, is a member of Overseer
Voliva's council, but remained friendly
to Dowie, believing him to be insane.
Dowie's wife, father and son held the
same view and it is, therefore, believ-
ed, though they were estranged, that
they will attend the funeral.

to carry it to market? When you
are killed by thousands, and those
who survive fear for your lives be-
cause of the wretched service2
1t is about time that we awak-
ened and ran the railroads success
fully from the standpoint of the
people.
The capitalist has shown what
he considers success and it does not
coincide with the peoples idea. 1t
is time the people owned the roads
and showed Mr. Harriman what
successful railroading is.
1t is nonsense to laud a man to
the skies because he has the finan-
cial power to rob a people of suf-
ficent money to pay a large divi-
deud on inflated stock. 1t is ut
ter foolishness to hail as sue
cessful railroad man a creature
who shuts his eyes to the thou
sands of killed and injured human
fed, sleepless employees, because
from all this wreckage and waste
he snatches dollar which he holds
aloft and cries, ''Behold what l
have created -
Mr.. Hartman may be crowned
king by his Wall Street clique, but
in the name of heaven and human
jty, don't call him a successful rail-
road man; don't call one a genius
who brings about such a condition
as today exists ON our railroads.
And it is not to be inferred that
the Southern Pacific is the only
mismanaged road. The daily record
of wrecks and their causes are am
pie proof OF the absolute incompe-
tence of our railroad managers.
If they must kill men, let it be
those who are responsible for this
condition and who profit by it, as
recently happened on the Southern
Railway, and not innocent people.

LORD, I'm KILLED"
Sheriff Mooney Accidently Drops a

Mooney, sheriffIof Baxter county and
who lives in Mountains Home, was
almost instantly killed here today. In

ley, deputy sheriff, he was bringing
a prisoner, Bill Estes, from Albur-

When Rock Island train No. AS, on
which the sheriff and the prison were
travelling, lpulled into Holdenville,
Money, who was sittion on the same
seat with the prisoner. leaned over to
look out Of the window. In doing so
it is supposed his gun, a Colts "A,
which was suspended from his braces,
fell on the floor of the car and was
discharged. The ball entered the
base of the heart and was imbedded
under the right shoulder blade.
Mooney sank to the floor and as his
deputy who occupied the next seat
back, raised him up, ne exclaimed,
"Oh, Lord, I'm killed" He tried to
speak but death came quickly.
Moneys gun was picked up off the
floor of the car and on icing examin-
edlwas found to have load in each
chamber except the one which the
hammer rested on. 1t was suggested
that the prisoner might have pulled
the gun from the sheriff and Shos
while he was STOPPING oyer, but this is
discredited and all circumstances
seem to point to an accident.
The dead mans relatives were I'M

The majority Of professors Of sing.

Of the anatomy and physiology Of the
vocal organs. and impress their pu-
pills and clients with an extensive vo-
cabulary Of technical terms, but we
venture to say that few have ever
made a careful study of the organ
they undertake to train, such as would
be OF real service to them in their in

Of the pupils by laryngologist would
also undoubtedly be Of great assist
