ZION GUARDS SAVED
DOWIE FROM RIOTERS
Meeting of First Apostle Broken
Up by Voliva Faction.
CROWD CALLED DOWIE ROBBER
Disturbance Became So Violent that
a Riot Call Was Sen In—A Negro
Giant and Zion Guards Protected
the First Apostle.
Chicago, May 14. —A meeting over
which John Alexander Dowie presided
at Zion City Sunday afternoon was
broken up by a number of followers
of the opposing faction, assisted by
several outsiders, and before the mul
titude dispersed, a free figut occurred.
Dowie was addressing the audience
and made the statement that the over
seers of the Voliva faction were rob
bers and thieves. At once a number
of those in the audience were on their
feet shouting, “No, no; you are the
robber! Why don’t you pay your
debts!”
The disturbance became so violent
that a Zion *guard was sent to restore
order. The guard took hold of an
old gray-headed man, who was loud
est in his demands for Dowie to p-ay
his obligations, and this was a signal
for a free fight.
A dozen men seized the guard, and
weie about to drag him down the aisle
when Gladstone Dowie and Deacon
Ardington mounted the platform and
called upon the audience not to create
a disturbance and to take their seats.
After quiet had been restored, Dow
ie again attempted to proceed with
the meeting, but he was jerred and
called traitor and robber until he final
ly decided to dismiss the audience.
A riot call was sent to the police sta
tion and Captain of Police Walker,
with four men, hurried to the taber
nacle in a wagon. By the time the
police arrived, most of the audience
had left the building.
Negro Giant Aids Dowie.
In the midst of the trouble, Bur
leigh, the negro attendant of Dowie,
rushed upon the platform and placed
himself at the “First Apostle’s” side
while those of the uniformed Zion
Guards who have taken sides with
Dowie, formed a line of defense in
front of the platform. No attempt
at violence was made against Dowie,
however.
Dowie was so weak that he had to be
carried from his carriage into the
tabernacle by two attendants. It was
anounced at Shiloh house, however,
Sunday night that he had eaten a very
hearty dinner and that he felt no ill
effects from the excitement of the af
ternoon.
At an after-meeting, called for Dow
ie adherents only, but which w'as in
vaded by a large number of those who
were riotous at the fornjer meeting,
Dowie precipitated a second general
disturbance.
Why Woman Died.
He caused to be read a letter from
one of his supporters stating that the
writer’s wife had passed safely
through the crisis of a serious illness
while Dowie prayed for her. This fact
Dowie compared with the case of Mrs.
H. E. Cantell, wdef of an overseer,
who died last Friday without medical
attention, while Voliva and his sup
porters were offering prayers for her
recovery. Dowie declared that he
feared the woman died because she
had associated herself with the rebels.
Immediately there was a storm ot
hisses and shouts, "Shame, shame!”
“There is death in store for more
of you if this rebellion keep 3 up,”
continued Dowie. Again the people
sprang from their chr.irs, shouting and
gesticulating until the tumult became
so general that Dowie was obliged to
bring this meeting to a close.
ENGLISH ELECTIONS.
Standing For a Seat In Parliament
la Expensive.
Although there are strict laws
against bribery in the English elec
tions, standing for a seat in parlia
ment is by no means an inexpensive
matter. Even a small constituency
will cost not less than $3,000, and the
expenses run from that up to SIO,OOO.
At one election a candidate paid out
on an average of SSO for each vote,
but this is regarded as the record
price, the cost running as low as $1
a head.
The purchasing of a vote disqualifies
the candidate, even though he may be
innocent of any participation in the
bribery, and as a result candidates
and their workers—“agents” they call
them in England—are most careful
that their actions shall be above sus
picion.
Dinners may be served a .constitu
ency, but payment even to the women
of a family is regarded as bribery, and
the candidates are compelled to trust
to speeches, house to house convasses
and literature, both for hand distribu
tion and In the form of posters

RUSSIAN OFFICIAL
FOULLY MURDERED
Was Commander of Port at St.
Petersburg.
DAGGER DRIVEN INTO HIS BACK
Unpopular Russian Official Who Re
fused to Give Workmen Holiday Is
Stabbed to Death —Had Bad Reputa
tion Among Laboring People.
St. Petersburg, May 14. —Vice Ad
miral Kuzmich, commander of the
port, who was unpopular with the
workmen, was assassinated here Mon
day by workmen whose May day dem
onstration he had attempted to stop.
The admiral was killed at the new
admiralty works, a government insti
tution, where most of the 2,000 men
employed there reported for duty at 5
o’clock Monday morning.
They wanted immediately to march
out in a body and celebrate the Rus
sian May day, but finally agreed to
work until 2 o’clock in the afternoon.
The admiral, however, made a speech
to the men, saying that he could not
agree to their leaving work at 2
o’clock, and the matter was left open.
At about 9:30 a. m., acording to an
officer who was at the gate of the
works, the admiral was emerging from
a small shop in the works when a
workman who had been concealed
around the corner of the building,
leaped on Kuzmich from behind and
drove a long dagger into his back.
The admiral fell-forward o»his face,
which was badly cut by stones, and
died immediately.
The assassin then fled Into a large
forge, where he was lost among the
men employed there. The works
were promptly surrounded by troops
and polioe, but the search for the mur
derer was unavailing, tils comrades
professing ignorance of his identity.
The police say it is evident that the
assassination of the admiral had been
planned in advance. The dagger wars
found on the spot, and was concealed
in a round stick, like a sword cane.
Among the workmen are a number
of former sailors and revolutionists.
Kuzmich had a bad reputation
among the workmen as being hard and
despotic.
CRIMINAL BEES.
Honey Gatherer* That Have Very
La>oae Moral Idea*.
Almost every form and variety of hu
man crime is to bo found among ani
mals. Cases of theft are noticed among
bees. Buchner in his “Psychic Life of
Anijnals” speaks of thievish bees
which, in order to save themselves the
trouble of working, attack well stocked
hives in masses, kill the sentinels and
the inhabitants, rob the hives and car
ry off the provisions. After repeated
enterprises of this description they ac
quire a taste for robbery and violence.
They recruit "whole companies, which
get more and more numerous, and
finally they form regular colonies of
brigand bees.
But it is a still more curious fact that
these brigand bees can be produced ar
tificially by giving working bees a mix
ture of honey and brandy to drink.
The bees soon acquire a taste for this
beverage, which haß the same disas
trous effects upon them as upon men.
They become ill disposed and irritable
and lose all desire to work, and finally,
when they begin to feel hungry, they
attack and plunder the well supplied
hives.
There Is one variety of bees —the
sphecodes which live exclusively up
on plunder.

FATHER GAPON’S BODY FOUND.
Mystery of the Fate of the Russian
Priest Cleared at Last.
St. Petersburg, May 14. —The mys
tery of the fate of Father Gapon ap
parently was cleared up Sunday by the
discovery of a corpse which was al
most positively identified as that of
the former priest, hanging in an up
per chamber of a lonely villa in the
suburb of Onerki, Finland.
The villa was rented April 8 for
the summer and a deposit paid by an
unknown man from St. Petersburg,
who, after visiting the house several
times In- cgmpany with a young work
man, disappeared April 11, taking the
key with him. The proprietor of the
villa alarmed at the non-appearance
of the tenant, notified the police, wiic
entered the house, Breaking down a
door they were confronted by a body
in a long coat hanging from a nail,
the feet touching the floor.
Decomposition of the face made pos
itive identification difficult, but the
features resembled those of Gapon,
and the clothing corresponded with
that worn by the missing labor leader.
As the usual symptoms of strangu
lation were absent, it is conjectured
that the man was killed elsewhere, and
his body brought to the villae on the
night of April 10th. This would tal
ly with the date of the execution oi
his body brought to the villa on the
secret police and with the death sen
tence of the former priest as announc
ed in recent dispatches from Berlin.

THOUGHT EXPLOSIONS
WERE EARTH SHOCKS
Feople at Bridgeport Alarmed
at Powder Explosion.
SHOCK FELT ALL OVER STATE
Four Magazines of Powder Exploded,
Causing Great Alarm Among the
People, Who Believed There Had
Been an Earthquake.
Bridgeport, Conn., May 14. —Four
magazines in the testing grounds of
the Union Metallic Cartridge company
on the East Side, exploded early Mon
day morning, the concussion shaking
the whole city, and causing great
alarm among many persons, who be
lieved that there had been an earth
quake.
Windows were shattered and in
many houses crockery fell from the
shelves, but no serious damage was
reported.
There were two explosions with but
a second’s interval between, and a
large amount of powder was destroyed.
None of the company’s buildings
w'as damaged. So far as known, no
one was harmed.
Following the explosion many per
sons clad only in their night garments,
ran into the streets, believing that the
earthquake recently predicted had
really taken place. Many women be
came hysterical, and it was some time
before they were reassured. The
four magazines, contained 25,000
pounds of powder each. None of the
other buildings of the cartridge com
pany was damaged, and the four ad
jacent magazines were unharmed.
The cause of the explosion is not
known. Most of the plate glass win
dows in the city were shattered, and
the isloation hospital, a small struc
ture half a mile away, was wrecked.
A panic occurred among the inmates
of the town farm, but no one was hurt.
The magazines were located on Suc
cess Hill, in the northern part of the
city.
The full force of the explosion was
felt in the city proper, and apparent
ly there is not a single large pane of
plate glass left in the business build
ings. As for private residences, few
escaped without broken windows.
The damage seems to be confined en.
tirely to broken glass, and already the
Union Metallic Cartridge cimpany has
given notice that property owners will
be compensated for damage of this
nature.
Immediately after the explosion the
people of Bridgeport seemed certain
that an earthquake had visited them,
and the scenes on the streeis were
quite exciting. These people, how
ever, continued in a nervous state for
several hours, being in fear of further
explosions.
The city was early flooded with in
quiries from other places for particu
largs of the disturbance, which even
had more resemblance to an earth
quake in other towns than locally
The shocks were feflt with force
enough to awaken people from sound
slumber in several parts of the state.
Shock Felt at New Haven.
New Haven, May 14.—Two shocks
from the Bridgeport powder explosion
were felt in this city. Windows were
rattled and in some houses dishes were
broken. It was first thought here
that the shocks were caused by an
earthquake.
Eastport, L. 1., Felt Shocks.
Eastport, L. 1., May 14.—Two dis
tinct shocks, coinciding in time with
the Bridgeport explosion, were felt at ‘
this place Monday morning, and
brought nearly the entire population
of this village into the streets in their
night clothing.
Freight Trains Collide.
Fitzgerald, Ga., May 14.—At 3 a. m.
Sunday mQrning a freight train com
ing in on the Atlantic and Birmingham
railroad, ran into another freight that
w'as standing In the yards, with the
result that eight cars were completely
demolished. No one was killed or
injured, even the engineer and fire
man of the moving train escaping un
harmed. The impact of the trains
was so great that two pf the cars were
thrown 20 feet.
