WARSZAWIAK A DOWIEITE.

City Mission Monthly Says He is a Follower of Elijah III.

In the current number of The City Mission Monthly, the organ of the New York Sity Mission and Tract Society, appears an attack upon Herman Warszawiak, who some years ago posed as a convert from the Jewish faith and stirred up much trouble in the Presbyterian denomination in this city. The article says:

“For a long time we have not said one word about this man, who years ago was so unfortunate a cause of disturbance in religious circles in this city. As we are so often asked as to his movements, we now state that he had gone over to the forces of Alexander Dowie, has been baptized by triune immersion, is at present supported by Dowie in this city, and is heralding the praises of the new Elijah with all his might. He has held several Sunday afternoon meetings in the small Carnegie Hall Music Chamber.”

Then follows the finding of the United States District Court, Southern District of New York, which declined to accede to Warszawiak's discharge in bankruptcy on the ground that fraud had been committed.
