MINERS TRAIN WRECKED
Engineer Killed and Several Passen-
gers Injured.

Hazleton, Pa, June 27.-One man was
killed and eight or ten passengers were
injured at Lofty, on the mountains II
miles from here. early today by the
wrecking of a Pennsylvania passenger
train which is believed to have been
deliberately derailed by the spiking of
the tracks. The dead man is the en-
eineer, Aaron Raub of Pottsville. The
Injured passengers were brought to the
hospital here.
The Pennsylvania uses the Lehigh
Valley railroad tracks between Delano
Junction and this city. The superin-
tendent of the Lehigh Valley says his
men found two spikes on the tracks
placed in such a way as to leave no
doubt that they had been put there to
deliberately wreck the train.
The Pennsylvania train was compos-
ed of a combination car and one day
coach and left Pottsville for Nescopente
at 5:35 a. m. The train is used princi-
pally by workmen, most of whom are
miners The tracks where the accident
occurred extend along the side of the
mountain. When the cars left the
tracks they toppled over on the noun
tain side of the roadway. Had they
fallen on the opposite side they would
have gone down a steep embankment
of more than 90 feet.

FASTING AT ZION
Woman Said to Have Gone Without
Food for Twelve Days.

Chicago, June ZT.-Great excitement
attends the Developments in the in
vestigation of the inside workings of
the Brotherhood of Pilgrims at Zion
City. The investigation follows the
death of Mrs. Thompson, a member of
the cult, who 1t is claimed, tasted until
her death in order to test her faith.
Others claim that she begged for food
and drink and the attendants and
friends refused. The doctor claims 1t
was cancer.
Following the announcements that
arrests were contemplated as a result
of alleged Irregularities in connection
with Mrs. Thompson's death Mrs.
Hunter. the present leading faster of
the home" left on visit to friends" B"
She was located few hours later and
notified that she must hold herself in
readiness to submit to questioning.
Mrs. Hunter expressed her entire
Willingness to answer any questions
that might be put to her.
II am in the Lords hands," she said.
mo evil can befall me and 1 am not
afraid"
After her questioning by the coroner,
Miss Funk said:
IAN effort is being made to connect
me with a crime. 1t cannot succeed
because there has been no crime. Mrs.
Thompson had been a sufferer from
cancer for many years. OF late she
was totally unable to retain food or
drink
aside from that the administration
of either food or drink caused her ex-
cruciating agony. There is nothing re-
markable in this. Every doctor will
tell you the same thing.
Mrs. Thompson could have been
cured by her faith in God IL that faith
had not failed her under extreme suf-
fering.''
The development of the Pilgrim
Brotherhood" cult in Zion City is the
latest of many amazing developments
>of religious fanaticisms that followed
In the wake of Dowie's death.
( The first of these and one which
still finds many adherents in Zion was
the Parhamite cult. At the head of 1t
was Charles F. Parham, the Kansas
City exhorter, who came with a won
derful story of ''the gift of tongues"
and talking a strange, incomprehensi-
BILE dialect which he declared only the
anointed of the Lord could under
stand.

ASKS FOR HIS RELEASE
DIR. George A. Smith of Liberal Ap-
plies to Supreme Court.

DR.. George A. Smith Of Liberal,
Seward county. applied to the supreme
court today for q writ Of habeas
corpus to release him from the Seward
county jail. He Is held there on the
charge of manslaughter. Florence
Morrell, a Young woman at Liberal,
died from peritonitis after an opera
ton. 1t Is charged that the physician
did not properly perform the opera
ton and he was arrested four times on
the charge OF manslaughter.
The drst two complaints were dis
missed. The third one was held valid
and after the preliminary hearing
Smith was held under ten thousand
dollars bond He was released the
next day under writ of habeas
corpus from the probate court and
the next day was arrested again on a
similar complaint and was held under
five thousand dollars bond. It is
maintained that the complaint 10 not
sufficient to warrant holding him and
he asks the supreme court to release
him at once.
The Topeka state journal., 1908-06-27

f1ocked to his standard. but of all the
hundreds only one person claimed to
know what the gift of tongues meant,
and she was pretty girl named Win
ME Nickerson, living in the family of
John Lake of Zion City.
Miss Nickerson declared she was
able to understand the Parham talk
and the believers were thrown into
transports of joy. Later on Lake also
declared he could translate the talk,
but after year of uncertain success
Parham fell into disrepute as a propa-
gandist and left for johannesburg
South Africa, where he still is with
Miss Nickerson, his interpreter, and
the members of the Lake family,
stanch believers in his teaching.
The Parhamite cult has remark
able vogue today in many parts of the
world-in England. Africa and Aus
tralia and in practically every large
city of the United States.
AS an offspring of the Parhamite
movement came the Demon Drivers,
at the head of which Harold Mitchell
chief driver, earned for himself an un-
enviable notoriety.
Last November, following a rather
dubious success as a healer, Mitchell
essayed to cure of rheumatism Mrs.
Letitia Greenhalgh, an aged woman
living in Zion City with her sons and
daughters.
Mitchell's pulling and hauling in an
alleged effort to exercise the evil
spirits that were declared In posses
sion of the woman's body, broke her
legs and arms. She died in great
agony.
Then came the Crosoyites. They
were affinity promoters under the
leadership of Lucy Crosby. who had
been a pupil under Dowie. She is now
Mrs. John Bales and a resident Of
Zion.
Several of this cult, one a man
named William Samson and the young
woman he declared his affinity" were
prosecuted by the Zion authorities and
are now serving jail terms at Wauke-
gan.

New York, November 1S.-Our Car
RE, she's a-going to take a steamboat
and sail awa-a-a-y. The Scotch high
ball is doomed Our gain is Scotland's
loss. And much more to the same
general effect. Listen:
On the passenger list of a trans
Atlantic liner, due to sail next Satur-
day, appears the name of Carrie Ma
ton. Sure, it is the" Carrie Nation,
the Kansas tornado, the Oklahoma
typhoon, the saloon smasher, the lady
with the Ratchet and the big voice.
And she is going to Scotland to re-
form that section of King Edward
domain.
The Prohibitionists of Scotland
have called me and must go" says
Carrie. Before l leave, | hope to
see every drop of the damnable Scotch
whiskey poured into the cutters" says
she. Not as how Scotch whiskey is
any worse than any other kind" ad-
mitted Carrie, but over in Scotland
a great many people consider whiskey-
swiling respectable, and they need
to be told few things" declares Car
rie, with an air of one who feels able
to tell EN-. why, even church peo-
pie drink booze in Scotland" asserts
the smasher, in tone of horror.
Mrs. Nation thinks that the rum
demon is on the run in the United
States and she believes this country
can spare her little while in order
that she may carry glad tidings ol
prohibition to more sinful lands
When she comes back to America,
Mrs. Nation says she will begin war
fare on tobacco that will make the
growers, manufacturers, sellers and
users of the filthy weed sit up and
take notice.

purpose of the currency convention
is to get the views of the business
men of the country on the subject

Pittsburg inaugurated the movement
for this convention the bankers of
the country were purposely excluded
from it. The real intention was to
secure the opinion of the men engag-

the convention This convention will
make recommendations of changes to
the existing currency laws and these
will be submitted to the congressional
commission, with a request that they
