FOUND MAN BADLY CUT
LYING IN JEEP DITCH
The police found a negro named John
Matthews badly cut In the head and
body, lying In a deep ditch on Fourth
street, between Bay and Hazel, late
Saturday night.
The negro was carried to the hos
pital. and It Is believed that his wounds
ore fatal.
There is some mystery ns to how the
mnn was cut, and bv whom. It was
first stated that a negro belonging to
a section gang working near Fort Val
ley on the Central Railroad, was the
assailant, but Officer "Williams, whrr,
made every effort to find the right man,
says that he is assured that the sec

There were a number of negroes in
the locality of the affair, but like the
soldiers at Brownsville, they would not
tell on each other and had nothing to

Wonderful Career
of Elijah Second
CHICAGO, Ills., March 9.—John
Alexander Dowie died at 7:40 o'clock
this morning at Shiloh house, Zion
City. There were present with him
when he ded only Judge D. N. Barnes
and two personal attendants. It had
been Dowie’s custom, summer and win
ter, to hold religious services every
Sunday afternoon in the parlor of Shi
loh house. About 350 of his original
followers remained faithful and at
tended these services. Dowie always
wore his apostolic robes and made
characteristic address. Five weeks ago
these meetings ceased, and Dowie ap
peared no longer In public. The Sun
day meetings, however, were still held
by his adherents. Since that time Dowie
had gradually been falling. Friday aft
ernoon, however, there was no indica
tions <\f ap proaching death. He re
ceived a few followers, and prayed for
some people. His condition seemed to
be about the same as for the past two
or three weeks. One of the attend
ants remained with him until midnight
and was relieved by the other attend
ant. •
Talked as of Old in Delirium.
Shortly before 1 o’clock this morning
Dowie became delirious and his talk
was the same as at a religious meeting
of the days of his prime. He denounced
people with tho old timo vigor, ordered
the guards to throw out disturbers and
acted Just as he had on so many pre
vious occasions. He gradually became
weaker and weaker, and the attendant
telenhoned for Judge Barnes, who
reached Shiloh house at 7 a. m., forty
minutes before Dowie died. It has been
decided that the interment will be in
Mount Olivet Cemetery, not far from
Zion City. The date of the funeral
has not been determined.
AVilbur G. Villvln. the head of the
faction opposing Dowie In Zion City,
today declined V' mike any statement
regarding the influence of the death of
Dowie on the future of the church, or
to discuss his death In any manner.
Sketch of Dowie’s Career.
John Alexander Dowie was born In
Edinburgh, Scotland, May 25, 1847. In
1860 his parents removed to Adelaide.
Australia, where for years the youth
was clerk in a business house. Here
Dowie developed the commercial in
stinct that served him so well later in
life. He saved enough money during
this period to return to Edinburg at the
age <of 20 to take a five years’ course in
theology and the arts. He became a
master of Greek and Hebrew and culti
vated a literary tase that resulted in
after years in a library of 10.000 vol
umes-. with which he was thoroughly
familiar.
j Six years of denominational activity
wearied Dowie. who longed for a larger
' field of operation. He forsook his
! church and in 1878 went to Melbourne,
j where he set up a free Christian tab
ernacle—the first of its kind—and or
ganized a divine healing association,
which afterwards became interna
tional In character. He became pres
ident of this association and gained
fame by going out into the country
