BURNS SUDDEN DEATH.
While in the Office ot Architect Davis
He Was Stricken by Apoplexy.
An Inquest Held.
Foreman Michael Burns, of the
plumbing nnd steam heating depart
ment of Hunt & Council, dropped dead
of apoplexy at 11 o'clock yesterday
morning In the olllce of Architect Ed
ward H. Davis on the sixth Moor of the
Commonwealth building.
Architect Davis prepared the plans
for new No. 10 school on the South
Side, nnd Hunt & Conenll has the con
tract for the sanitary work and steam
heating. Mr. Burns made a call at
Mr. Davis" olllce earlier in the day, but
did not find him In. und he U-rt a note
nsklnir Mr. Davis to telephone to Hunt
Ciinnell's ns soon as he arrived. Mr.
Burns then went away.
A few minutes before 11 o'clock Mr.
Davis came In. and seeing the note.
Immediately telephoned fur Mr. Burns.
The latter was not long in coming,
and as he reached the wuitlng room of
the architect's office he stopped to look
at something, or stopped on account of
a sudden puin, but if it was the lat
ter reason, he made no noise nor was
not beard to groan. Mr. Davis heard
something fall heavily to the lloor, but
he thought Mr. Burns had upset some
thing. Mr. Seward, who works In the
olllce, looked to see whnt caused the
noise and he saw Mr. Burns stretched
on his back on the lloor.
Dr. J. I.. Went a was called, but
death had set In, nnd from the appear-
once of the body death must have
been nlinost Instantaneous. When Mr.
Seward first saw hltn his breast was
heaving, but the face wns stony and
there was no sign of animation in It.
Coroner Longstreet was notified and
he gave orders to have the body re
moved to Uatib's undertaking estab
lishment. At L'.SO in ine afternoon
Deputy Coroner E. M. Penny packer
visited Raub's nnd with Dr. Walter M.
Reedy made a post-mortem examina
tion. Dr. John O'Malley was ulso
present.
The jury empaneled consisted of W.
A. Haul). Charles Raub, John Raub,
W, G. Miser, Jacob Demuth and O. M.
Custer. The examination showed that
death was due to upoplexy and the ver
dict of the Jury was In accordance.
l ndertaker Cusick wns then sum
moned and conveyed the remains to
tlie late home, 105 l'lttston avenue,
where a mourning widow and seven
young children were in waiting. The
children are Annie, James, Mamie,
Thomas. John, Joseph nnd Gertrude.
Mr. Burns was a prominent member
of St. John's parish, South Side, and
from his position as foreman for Hunt
& Conenll wus well known in Hit? city.
He was 47 years old and entered the
employ ot that firm twenty-live years
ago, Just lifter finishing his trade In
the shop of W. G. Doud. Twelve years
ago he was appointed foreman of the
plumbing ami steam fitting depart
ment, and he had general charge; of all
the work. He sung In the choir of St.
John's church, belonged to St. Pat
lick's Total Abstinence and Benevolent
society, und was a member of Branch
,S5. Catholic Mutual Beneficial associa
tion. He Bail Ju.-Jt let the cuntrai-t for
a new resilience next to that of Dr. J.
J. Walsh, on l'lttston uvenu, and the
basement of It Is about finished.
IT BECOMES A LAW.
Mayor Bailey Did Not Veto the Ordi
nance Providing for the Open
Ing of Price Street.
Prloo street Is to be opened. The
ordinance providing for this Improve
ment became a law on Saturduy and ns
it specifies; that the required land "is
hereby appropriated" there is no get
ting back of It.
In view- of the fact that The Trib
une on Friday announced that Mayor
Bailey would veto the ordinance some
may be lead to believe In the light of
this later development that The Trib
une knew not whereof It ioke. Such,
however. Is far. from being the case.
Mayor Halley did intend, ir to speuk
nnalifledly, said he Intended, to veto
the measure, nnd maybe he did veto
it. or rather did something that he
thought was n veto of it. At nil events
he didn't veto It. Neither did he ap
prove of it. Vet It Is a law. By his
failure to do one thlnn; or the other
within the prescribed fifteen days from
the time the measure came before him
It went Into effect, and without let or
hindrance from the chief executive.
Just what Mayor Bailey's Idea was
In announcing 'that he intended to veto
the ordinance and then allow It to Ik
come a law by default is more than
any one about city hall cares to vouch
safe Just at present.
The land required Is owned by Mrs.
Elizabeth Davis. There Is a double
house on It and she wants IG.OUO for the
house and lot. The city hasn't got as
much aa sixty cents to apply to this
purchase, but It will have to find it or
borrow it somewhere.
It Is tnoft likely that nothing will be
done about the matter until after the
estimates committee meets in the
spring, when it is likely an appropria
tion will be made to make the much
needed Improvement.

THE FATHER AND
THE WOMEN BLAMED
Jury Finds That Criminal Negligence
Attended Janus Wood's Death.
WAS THE VICTIM OF FAITH HEALERS
Inquest Held in Arbitration Room
aud Wns Attended by Nearly Every
Christinu Scientist in the City.
Testimony Uiven by the Difl'crcul
M'itnesscsCliristiau Scientists
Dcliuc Their Relief with Regard to
Disease.
Coroner Longstreet conducted an In
vestigation last night In the arbitra
tion room of the court house in the case
of James Wood, the 12-year-old boy
who was allowed to die without medi
cal treatment. The boy's father nrd
Mrs. May nurd and Mrs. JleKee, the
two women who performed Christian
Scientist faith cure, wore charged by
the Jury with criminal negligence. Dis
trict Attorney John R. Jones was wait
ing for the result of the coroner's In
vestigation, und it Is quite probable
that ho will have warrants sworn out
totiuy.
The arbitration room was crowded
with Christian Scientists. Every seut
in the room was taken, und the janitor
Cupluln Turner, was secured to lind
eMails from the other offices to accom
modate nil. Besides the Christian Sci
entists there was not a few attracted
merely out of curiosity.
As soon as Coroner Longstreet an
nounced that the hearing was about to
begin, ex-Lieutenant Governor L. A.
Watres arose and asked to be permitted
to make n statement. He snld it ap
peared in the newspapers that some
persons are guilty of criminal negli
gence in the case then being investi
gated. He and Attorney George S.
Horn had been retained, he said, to rep
resent the persons accused.
Coroner Ixmgstreet Informed him
that it has always been his policy to
permit legal representatives to exam
ine witnesses Bt Inquests, but if so it
wus nn uot of grace and was not com
pulsory. The coroner's court is not one
of Imiulry. not a place where defend
ants are put on trial. Colonel Watres
answered that the accused persons
were just ns desirous as any one could
possibly be of having the matter fully
Investigated. Either they are or they
are not guilty, and they desired as
much as the coroner to bring every
matter out that had a bearing upon the
cuse.
MR. WOOD SWORN.
James It. Wood, fathiV of the dead
boy, was called and put under oath by
the coroner. He Is a miner, ho said,
not cutting coal, but doing carpenter
work in the mines. The boy that died
wus sick a week, and his sickness ut
first consisted of dizzy pains in the
head. He had no medlcul treatment,
but was given Christian Scientist
treatment.
This as Mr. Wood understands It con
sists of prayer, that God will answer
supplications sent up for the relief of
the suffering pel-son, and th.it a tan
gible physical cure will be effected. The
boy wus treated every day for a week
bv Mrs. Mayniird, of Green Ridgi and
on tho day lie died he wad treated
by Mrs. David McKee, of Adams avp
nue. He gave them no pay for their
services.
He wafl osked by one of the jurymen
whether any more members of the fam
ily were sjek, and responded affirma
tively. There was another child sick
a week nnd it was given similar treat
ment and recovered. Questioned by
Mr. Horn he answered that the boy
that died was cared for by Its mother
during the Illness and its comfort was
attended to In the most careful man
ner. He didn't call In a doctor for
medical treatment beonuse he has no
faith In doctors. The reason Is this, he
had three children die and his wife
wns sick seven years, although he had
the most skillful medlcul treatriient.
Under Christian scientist fulth cure his
wife got well. The other child that
was sick the week before the one that
died was treated by the faith curlsts
und got well, and had symptoms sim
ilar to the one that died. He said he
followed the dictates of his best judg
ment in employing Christian scientist
cures.
ONE OP THE HEALERS.
Mrs. Charles Maynard, one of the
women who wus called in to treat the
boy, was next sworn. She saw him first
on Sept. 17. He then complained of
drowsiness nnd his head was mvt feel
ing just risht. Her Idea of his sick
ness was that he had symptoms sim
ilar to those of the other child. The
boy appeared to be suffering, but she
dlil not know what wns the matter
with him. She treated him once every
day for a week.
Coroner Longstreet asked heir If the
symptoms of the boy's Illness were like
scarlet fever, diphtheria, croup or what.
She said when she saw him last he
was sleepipng quietly, she never stud
ied medicine, knows nothing of the laws
of disease, and knows nothing of sick
ness except what she learned from per
sonal experience. She received no pay
for this treatment, and gave her ser
vices gratuitously, her pay being the
consciousness of having done good to
Bomp creature.
She explained that her method of
treatment Is to try and make the pa
tient realize that God is the only power
nnd the prayers are invoked to bring
about harmony between God and the
sufferer. Her Idea of harmony In that
sense of the word Is good health. She
prepared herself for faith curing by
reading "Science nnd Health." by Mary
Baker Kddy. and she had class Instruc
tion from Judge Hannu, now a reader
in the mother church.
The first case she treated got well
In four days. The coroner asked her if
her treatment on the boy that died had
any outward effect and she said it
made him brighter and he manifested
greater activity. She wns asked If she
observed any swelling of the face, neck,
nose or throat, any discoloration of the
face, or noticed whether the child was
troubled with shortness of breath. All
she could state was that Christian
scientists do not recognize any diag
nosis such as doctors do.
DEGREE OF BENEFIT.
Mr. Horn got her to relate how she
came to become a Christian Scientist.
It was six years ago, and the cause
was that she had suffered for a long
time from sickness and could not gel
cured. Friends recommended the sci
ence to her and she gave it n trial, found
It worthy and has since believed In it.
A patient Is benefitted by Christian
Science In the degree that he Is able
to realize the power of God.
Mrs. Maynard treated a dozen or
more cases altogether. This was the
first fatal case. One of the Jurors
asked her If the state grants her the
right to practice this method of heal
ing, and she answered that It granted
her the right to worship God accord
ing to the dictates of her conscience,
and that's all she was doing. She is
not practicing medicine and prescribes
no remedies.
Mrs. David McKee, ' the other wo
man, was next called. The coroner
asked her what business she Is en
gaged In, and she told him a Christian
Scientist. She treated the son of
James Wood. The parents sent for
her. She was asked If he .was suffer
ing any pain and she said he seemed
to have a sense of tnharmony. ine
coroner asked her to explain what she
meant and she answered that har
mony meant about the same as health.
She sat down and tried to realize thp
highest sense of prayer. The coroner
asked her If she affected to heal by
prayer and she told him she did not
heal; It was done by God. One of the
Jurors asked her It she-knows what
diphtheria Is, and she admitted she
hud something the doctors called by
that name. As a Christian Scientist
she does not believe in it as a con
tagious disease.
SHE WAS AN INVALID.
Seven years ago last May she first
took up this belief. Her sister had
been Bick on what the doctors called
her deathbed and they gave her four
days to live. Christian Scientist treat
ment cured her so that she was out in
four weeks. She, herself, was sick
from childhood even up to the time of
her marriage, and Christian Scientist
treatment cured her. This is the first
fatal case In her experience of at least
fifty cases. She treated her own child
for diphtheria.
She received no pay In this case, but
is under salary from the believers In
thru doctrine in this city. She has no
authority from the state other than
that relied upon by Mrs. Maynard;
namely, that the constitution guaran
tees them the right to worship God ac
cording to the dictates of their own
conscience.
Colonel Watres asked her If It was
compulsory upon all Christian Scien
tists to ignore medical treatment In
cases of disease or sickness, and her
answer was as follows: "A person Is
not compelled to have our trentnient.
lie must have our treatment alone or
medical treatment ulone. There is no
fuch thing ns medicine. I have had no
medicine, oils or liniment In my house
thp past seven years. We do not diag
nose u single ease. We simply practice
the healing that Jesus taught while on
earth and we rely solely on that. The
treatment is the same in all cases.
We know nothing about disease."
She said tht y have no prescribed form
of treatment, but adopt the highest
form of prayer. The Lord's prayer is
repeated and nn effort Is made to bring
the patient's mind to a realization of
the all powerful presence of God. Cor
oner Longstreet asked her how a per
son In a comatose state could be
brought to r-nllze and after some
coaching by Colonel Watres she said
In substance thRt with Ood all things
are possible. The same method Is used
ns the 'disciples and St. Paul used.
The Scientists do not claim to be a
factor in the healing process any fur
ther than In the effort to bring thp
patient to a realization of God's pow
er. LAWS MADE FOR DOCTORS.
One of the jurors risked her If she
ever saw a placard on a house where a
contagious disease existed and wheth
er or not she understood Its signifi
cance, nnd w hether or not she was not
aware that the laws of the board of
health make It incumbent upon all hav
ing anything to do with contagious
diseases to report them. Her answers
were that-the laws are made for doctors
and materia mediea, two things Chris
tian Scientists do not believe in.
Mr. Wood was recalled by Mr. Horn
nnd testified that he has seen five or six
cases c.f diphtheria uround the neigh
borhood where he lives within the past
few months, and although doctors at
tended them they nil proved fatal.
That was all the testimony nnd after a
short deliberation the Jury agreed upon
the following verdict:
We, the undersigned Jurors, find that
James Wood, Jr., died from diphtheria.
We further find that James it. Wood, sr.,
.Mrs. McKee, and Mrs. Muynard are guilty
of criminal negligence In permitting
Jsmes Wood, Jr.. to die without giving
him proper medical attention. We also
llnd that the case was not reported to the
board of health as required by law In cases
of contaKlous diseases. The testimony
adduced shows that Mrs. McKee and Mrs.
Muynard are in the hnhlt of instituting
forms of treatment for the cure of disease
and receiving money In return, contrary
to the laws of the state of Pennsylvania.

were working over him to save his
life made an earnest plea for them to
allow him to die. But when the phy
sicians were inserting the stomach
pump, he said: "Don't choke me to
deuth."
Mr. Cole's wife deserted him last
Wednesday and since that time he has
been much depressed In spirits.
It is the second time that Cole's wife
has left him within a short period. Her
action wns due to Jealousy. Mr. Cole
says that lust Wednesday he was In the
firemen's parade with the members of
the Niagara Hose company and he
gave his wife money to go to the central
city and see it.
After the parade dispersed Mr. Cole
met several ladies with whom he Is
acquainted and while standing talking
to them one nsked him for a bouquet of
the flowers he carried In the bell of his
tiumct. Mrs. Cole happened to be
standing close by and overheard the
remark. She commenced to upbraid
him and a scene resulted. When Cole
arrived home that night he found that
his wife had left him.

DELLA WAS IN POOR VOICE.
Audience that Saw the Little Trooper
Last Night Dissappointed.
A comic opera star without a voice
la in a sail plight, .nd that was the
situation In which Delia. Fox found her
self last Plight when she - faced the
large audience that gathered in the
Academy of Music to hear "The Little
Trooper" sung. .
Her support was good; the opera was
well staged and Mite Fox was as chic
and clever as ever, but when she start
ed to sing well the audience was dis
tinctly disappointed. A severe coi
was 'the cause.
Last night was the first time "Tho
Little Trooper" was sung In this city,
and it was received with much favor.
It is tuneful and quite amusing.
