Did Bishop Duba and Another
Preacher Do Wrong?
Cleveland, Feb. 20. At the trial
of Bishop Dubs to-day several wit
nesses testified to Dubs' familiarity
with women, but .nothing criminal
was alleged.
Rev. Mr. Yost, when testifying,
was asked if he and Bishop Dubs did
not visit houses ot ill-repute in Buff
alo at tbe bishop's suggestion, but he
refused to answer, although the ques
tion was repeated in several forms.
The testimony then closed, and ar
guments were made by the two pros
ecuting witnesses and Bishop Bow
man. Bishop Dubs denies the allegations
made against his moral character, and
says that at the general conference,
which meets in September, 1891, he
will prove his innocence. The jury
reached a verdict in his case to-night,
but it will not be made public until
to-morrow. It is believed, however,
that Dubs will be found guilty and
deposed from office and erpelled from

He Is Going to Build Railroad,
to the Holy Land.
New York, Feb. 20. Benjamii
Butler is the head of a land and rail-,
road company just incorporated ia
Boston, to buy land and build a rail
road through the Holy Land oa
which express and passenger trains
will be run. Senator Frye is also ia
the syndicate.
The New England Company of
Egypt is the paradoxical name of this
proposed syndicate, the object of
which is the purchase of houses and
lots in Port Said and Alexandria and
the building of a 200-mile modern
trunk line from Port Said through to
Damascus, in Arabia. Petrez and!
Mausey, well known Yankees, are at
the head of the enterprise, and be
sides Ben Butler are Frank Jones of
New Hampshire, Gov. Goodall of the
smc state, Senator Frye of Maine,
and Joseph G. Palmer of New Jer
sey, the latter being treasurer. The
plan is to build a road through the
mountain regions in Southern Pales
tine, running through the picturesque
valley wcere flows the Bible-famed
river, and thence on to Damascus.
It is understood Butler aud Jonct
ptomisc tint with their new railroad
equipped with steel rails an i 80-tos
engines, vestibuled car3 ond Westiujj
hou.se air brakes, the American tour
ist of the near future will have all toe
modern improvements at his com
mand. "Through Palestine by day
light" will attractglobe trotters fr. ia
everywhere. The tirsl tt-jp of impor
tance in Palestine will ba Hebron,
after that Koine aud thcu Bethlehem,
after that Jerusalem, Jeiicho, Naza
reth, Gallilee and Damascus on th
extreme cast, aud the trans-Palestine
tailroid will racl. its terminus. The
possible development of the enter
prise is regarded as somethiug im
mense if the permission of the local
government cau be secured to build
the road. That this permission will
be granted is confidently expected by
the Yankee pioneers in tlie daring
scheme.
