R J I,
CLAIM THEY OBEYED
LAW OfJHE LORD
CHRISTIAN SCIENTISTS POSI
TION IN THE WEAVER CASE.
Sid Not Xow the Case Was Diph
theria, but for Pear It Might Be
Some Such Disease According to
Physicians' Directions, They Took
Usual Precautions to Prevent Con
tagion, Not Through Any Pear on
Their Own Account, but Out of
Respect to the Views of Others.
The Verdict.
An Innuest into the death of Ray
mond Weaver, the boy whoso Christian
Science parents did not have medical
attendance for hlin, during a fatal Ill
ness of diphtheria, was held In the nr
bltrntlon'room of tho court house last
night, after several postponements.
Discussions between Coroner Itobctts
and tho witnesses and the diftlculty
which some of the Jurors oKocilcnoeJ
In arriving at an understanding of tha
Christian Scientists' doctrines were the
features,
The Jurors were: Howard Davis, Ed
ward Coons, T. Ellsworth Davis, DjvU
Owens, Peter Cosgrovo am! John K.
Oaffney. Attorneys I. H. IJm-ns and
C. L. Haw ley appeared In tho Interest
of the Weaver family, and beforo tho
Inquest started made formal protest
to the proceedings on the Kiound that
the coioner had no Jurisdiction. Tho
objection was noted and the, he trine
begun.
What prompted tho Inquest was the
fact that the boy died without havlnf,'
had the attendance of a physician. It
was also the desire of the coroner to
bring forth whether or not tho patents
weia utility of a violation of the law
In not reporting; tho contagious dh
ease to the board of health. Further
he wanted tn inquire Into the action
of Dr. H. D. Gardner in giving it death
certificate, when he had not attended
tho case, and was not called in i ntlt
after death had occurred.
THE WITNESSES HEAilD.
Sir. and Mrs. George D. Weave-,
the parents, and Miss Lydla. Weaver,
the sister of the boy; David N. Mo
Kce, professional Christian Science
healer, nnd Miss Chapman, a Christian
Science nurse, and Dr. Gardner, worn
tho witnesses heard.
The Christian Scientists all averred
that no law had been violated by them.
Mr. McKee attended tho boy almost
dally and, while they did not recognize
the disease ns diphtheria, because
their religion docs not go into dis
tinctions In tho matter nf ailments,
they, nevertheless, out of considera
tion for others, accepted that It wus
so-called dlphtheila, took every pro
caution to prevent the spread of tho
disease that the general public de
mands. In their belief contagion 'Is prevented
by the same means that disease Is
cured, "tho realization of tho presence
nnd omnipotence of God." However,
that those not of their faith nnd not
In a position to avail themselves of
this means of avoiding disease might
be protected thev caused the bov to
be quarantined In one oi tho rooms
of the house with a nurse; Miss Weav
er was kept home from her work In
the International Correspondence
schools, and Mr. AVeaver changed his.
clothes on going out, drove In a enr
i lage when he occasionally went to his
office and did as much of his business
as possible by telephone.
The father, with tears In his eyes,
told how his boy fully realized the
doctrines of Christian Science. "He
was born a Chtistlnn Scientist," the
father said. "He realized the power
of God to heal. He was a noble, true
boy, doctor. Oh, If you only know
him. He lived as he died, a true Chrls
tlon Scientist. Did he understand?
Why, doctor he would come homo from
school and, finding his mother not
feeling well, would road to her from
our Science and Health, pray with her
for a while, and then saying 'Mother,
now I guess you're all right,' would
run off and play."
GIVEN NO MEDICINES.
They admitted that he was not given
any medicine, but claimed there 'was
nothing to be wanted In the way of
diet or care that was not furnished
him.
All of the Christian Scientist wit
nesses professed having been cured at
one time or another by Christian Scien
tist treatment after) th other treat
ments had Ignobly' failed.
The examination of Mr. McKee va3
drawn out for nearly an hour by the
questions that the coroner and Jurors
propounded to him.
He said he was a graduate of a clas
sical college nnd cart led tho degree of
master of arts. A year ago he grad
uated from tho Massachusetts Meta
physical college, with the degree of
bachelor of Clulstlan Science, and u
diploma entitling him In act us a pio
l'esslonal Christian Scientist or Chi Li
lian Science practitioner. Ills fees nro
$1 a day or $5 a week "to those who
are able and willing to pay."
In answer to a question by Juror
Gaffney as to how ho would treat a
bioken leg, Mr. MtKcv said ho would
first have' tho bone set by a purgcou
and then apply Christian Science to
prevent III after effectr, such as in
flammation and the like.
He told of an Inhtnnce where he had
dispensed with a surgei-n and cured :t
broken foot by Christian Science. In
time it was posslblo Christian Science
practitioners would set broken bones.
It Is no fault of Chilstlnn Science tint
they do not do It now. It is tho In
ability of the practitioner and not any
defect In the science.
"While we should have liberty to
prosecute our views," Mi. McKeo went
on to say, "we respect other's views.
H la a rule of our church. Except no
far as wo are governed by divine laws,
we are subject to human laws. We
protect the public from its' stand
point. That's a practice cf ours. There
has )een no violation of the law In
this case. We can do anything wo are
not forbidden to do.
"We are not forbidden trf practice
Christian Science. We can rofraln
from doing anything we are not com
manded to do. Wo are not command
ed by any statute to administer medi
cines. Over 1,000 persona died In this
city last year. Is It a question as to
whether or not there Is criminal negli
gence In giving to others medicine
that tailed In these mare than 1,000
cases V"
Dr. Gardner simply testified that he
violated no lule of tho board of health
or of ethics In giving a death 'certlP
ente under the condition named. Ho
has done ,it beforo and believes It per
fectly proper, although ho would not

do It indiscriminately. The Jury re
turned the fotlmrlng verdict;
"We, tho undersigned Jury, do find
that Hnymond 11, Weaver came to his
death from lack of medical attendance
for which a certain treatment known
ns Christian Science was .substituted.
We censure the practice of physicians

MISSIONARY WORKERS.
They Had a Meeting in the Elm
Park Church Miss Hawley's Pa
per on Philippine Islands.
Tho union of Women's Foreign Mis
sion societies of the city met In th
purlors of tho Elm l'arlc Methodist
Episcopal church yesterday afternoon
nnd held n lory Interesting meeting,
rtpresentntlves being present from all
the Methodist churches of the city and
vicinity.
A very Interesting programme was
given, as arranged by the special com
mittee made-up of members of tha
Simpson. Providence nnd Hampton
street nuxlllnrloH. Hetwoen thirty and
forty menibcts wore present nt 15
o'clock, when the meeting was called
to order by Mis. C. It. Acker, nctlng
chairman and president of the Simpson
auxiliary mission.
The exercises were opened by a blblo
selection reud by the chairman, after
which prayer was offered up. 'Nearer
My God to Thee" was sung by all pres
ent, after which thp secretary, Miss
Peck, icad tho mluutcB of the preced
ing meeting.
Mi? Hnwicy. of the Providence aux
lllaiy, then read a most Interesting
paper on "Tho Philippine Iblands." Shu
vividly described tho geographical
structure of our now possessions.
"Leprosy Is the disease which me
naces the Islands," said the sneaker,
"nnd many unfortunate lepers are seen
there." She next drifted Into a general
description of tho animals of tho land,
mentioning the domestically used buf
faloes nnd oven, the wild cats and
other quadrupeds.
Tho botanical f-ide of tho Islands
was then spoken of, the various plants
and flowers bi.-lnu described. The
speaker closed her addicss by express
ing her convictions that the Philip
pines present a good field for mis
sionary work, the door to which was
thrown open by Dewey's guns.
Mrs. Stone and Miss Bennett of the
Hampton street auxiliary next ren
dered a duet, singing In fine voice,
lfasol Fryant, a tiny tot whom tho
president Jokingly lofeired to as "an
honorary member," next recited "I'm
Only a Little Child," in a very pleasing
manner. Mrs. Shcdd, of Simpson
church, who was down for a paper on
"Our Neighbor"," was absent, as was
also Mrs. Edgar, of Piovldence, who
was detained by lllne.s, and therefore
could not give the map exorcises which
she was down for on tho programme.
Mls Hlneman, however, gave a
piano solo which proved highly enjoy
able, and which brought the entertain
ment to a close.
Opinions wcie then volunteered on
the essay read on the Philippines, the
various points of Interest being dis
cussed, after which the meeting was
dismissed with tho benediction.
The next meeting of this nature will
be held in June nnd will ho conducted
by the ladles of tho Asbury. Dunmore
and Court stieet auxiliary missions.

PLACE THE BLAME
ON THE COMPANY
VERDICT OF CORONER'S JURY
IN XT. PLEASANT CASE.
Believe It Was Sue to the Fact That
a Proper Appliance Was Not Used
to Hold in Place the Lever by
Which the Fans at the Clark Vein
Were Operated Tames- Coulter,
Who Had Charge of Men, Cen
suredWitnesses Who Were Ex
amined and Their Testimony.
In the arbitration room of the court
house yesterday afternoon the secon.l
session was held on the Inquiry being
conducted by Coroner J. J. Roberts Into
tbe cause of the accident at the Mt.
Pleasant mine a week ngo yesterday, by
which Frank Woodwnrd, John Regan,
Thomas Williams and William Gilbert
lost their lives through an accident to
tho carriage. The verdict of the Jury
places tho responsibility for the acci
dent on tho company.
Yesterday's testimony developed tho
fnct beyond question that tho accident
w-as caused by the safety fans at the
Clark vein Btlcklng out Into tho shaft,
nnd it was Indicated that tho accident
was duo to ono of two cnuses. Klther
Benjamin Price, of Uarflcld avenue,
failed to fasten the lever controlling
tho fans In tho ncrustomed mnnner, by
driving a spike Into a beam below tha
lover, or a niece of coal or rock fell
down the shnft and striking the con
trolling rod ot tho fan bent It and
Jarred the spike out of place, allowing
the lever to drop and the fans to do
their fell woik. The BDlko was found
on the ground below the lever after
the accident.
A largo number of witnesses were
exninlned, but little, of Importance was
elicited save from Daniel Davis and
Benjamin Price.
DAVIS' TESTIMONY.
Davis Is the footman at tho Rider
vein and went on duty on the morn
ing of the accident about 6 o'clock. A
few minutes beforo 7 o'clock the car
riage that was afterwards wrecked
went down to the Dunmore vein with
a load of men, nnd then was pulled to
the surface. When It came down
again It stopped nt the Rider vein and
seven men got off, three remaining on
the cart lage. John Regan was stand
ing in the Rider vein but wanted to go
down to the Dunmore vein where he
worked. He stepped on the carriage
and witness, signalled the engineer'
to drop the carriage to the Dunmoro
vein.
A moment or two nfter it started
ho heard a crash and knew something
had happened. He leached tlie Clark
'vein by means of a slope, and was tho
first at tho opening into tho shaft
where the wrecked carriage stood. Tim
chains on the west side of tho carriage
were bioken, as was ono of the chains
on the east side. Tho bottom of tho
carriage was hanging down the shnft
supported only by one of the east side
chains. ,
He saw that the fans were extending
out Into the shaft, tho one on the east
side about three Inches, and one on
the west side something loss. Tho car
tage had struck on the one on the east
side, but the one on the west side was
evidently not out far enouEh to catch
for the west side of the carriage
sagged down past It.
CONNECTING nOD BENT.
He observed that tho connecting rod
between the lever and the fans was
bent as If something had fallen down
tbe shaft and struck it. The lever
was half way down and on the ground
under It he found the pin or spike
which was used to keep the ever in
place. After tho accident the connect
ing lod hud to be taken out and
straightened. He hoard nothing fall
down the shaft from the time he came
on duty that morning.
Benjamin Price, of Garfield avenue, Is
employed as a company hand, and on
tho morning of the accident with
other men, was at work In tho Clark
vein unlondlng rock. He had charge
of tho fans. About 4 o'clock all the
rock had been hoisted and he skoved
the lever up, bringing the fans against
tho side of tho shaft. Below the lever
he drove a spike, which was the means
usually employed to hold It In place.
He was sure he drove the spike In good
and firm and could assign no reason
why It was on the ground when DavH
arrived on the scene nfter the acci
dent. He admitted that the beam Into
which the snlke was driven had been
somewhat battered by tho numerous
spike holes dtlven Into It, but was
?uro he drove the spike in far enough
to take a firm hold.
Other witnesses examined were: Mlko
Sholtz, the headman at tho top of tho
shaft; George Richards, m.m in charge
of tho day shift: John Smith, com
pany hand; Samuel Nicholas, com
pany hand; Jonathan Hughes, the en
gineer; James Coulter, man In charge
of the night shift; Benjamin Phillips,
company hand.
SMITH FELT A BUMP.
Smith nnd Richards went down on
the carriage on tho trip before it was
wrecked. Smith said he felt a bump
after they left the Rider vein, but
could not tell Just where It occurred.
Ho did not think they struck tho funs
at the Clark vein or the bump would
have been more novel e.
After all of the testimony was in tho
Jurois went to tho colliery and viewed
the wreck of tho cuniage and later
returned tho following verdict:
According to the evidence adduced, we,
the undcrslgni d jurors, do hereby llud
that tho deceased, namely. John Regan,
Thomas William?, l'rnnk Woodward and
William Gilbert, came to their death on
Monday, February 28, by fulling down tho
hhaft of Ihe. Mt. i'iciiMiit mine, and that
their death was due to negligence on tho
part of tho said company In not having
tbe proper appllancii for tho securing cf
tho lever operating tho fans In the Hald
Mt. Pleasant mlao nt the Clnik vein.
We further rind that thero wa,s negli
gence on tho part of the night foreman,
James Coulter, la not having seen that
the said fans weio properly secured when
he left tho Clark vein on tho day of tho
accident.

Were found worthy of a
HIGHER DISTINCTION
than all others at the
Philadelphia National Export Exposition, 1899'
The Mason & Hamlin Pianos received the very Highest Honors and were the
only pianos to receive such at the Philadelphia National Export Exposition, for in
the case of the Mason & Hamlin Pisnos the Jury of Awards did not rest by giving
the H g.iest Mtd.il In the r powsr, but finding these instruments so distinguished
by their tone quality and geueral superiority as to place them in a class by them
selves, the Jury rcfeired thera to the Committee of Science and Arts of the Frank
lin Institute of Philadelphia, specially recommending that an extra exceptional
M.'dal be bestowed.
The Pianofortes of no other maker were recognized by the Jury of Awards as
meriting this signal distinction. v

BACKUS BOWLERS WIN.
They Defeat the Scranton Bicycle
Club Team by 09 Pins.
The Backus bowling: team last night
played the representative rollers of tlvj
Scranton Bicycle club on the alleys of
the latter organization and added an
other victory to Its list by winning out
by a score of 99 pins, having a total of
L',297 against 2,198.
Tho game wnas merely the playing
off of the first game of tho series,
which had slnco been declared null. Tn
that game the Backus club won out
by 148 pins, so last night's victory by
only 99 merely diminishes the victorious
team's record, counting by pins. Coons
was high man of tho evening, leading
the Backus club with 197 to his credit,
and being closely followed by Captain
Wardell, of tho Bicycle club, with 191,
