that nothing was done for their comfort or re-

DR.. Godsmith's statement Is as follows:
Il was present at the Summit Station
during the day of the accident, and al
though not in charge of the wounded, |
saw them all and examined several of them.
Your information that the wounded had no
proper food is incorrect They had all the
food that they needed. They had chicken
broth and everything that the surgeons felt
was best for them. The wounded were dis
tributed, such as could be safely moved,
amongst the adjoining farm houses. Mr..
Field, it is true, lay upon the floor, but he
had a good bed under him. He, amongst
his other injuries, had broken ribs His in
juries were such that it was impractcable to
move him 1t is true that his legs projected
from the lower end of the bed but it hap.
pened so because his difficult and painful
breathing made him ask all the while to be
Iropped up in bed, and being propped up,
his body naturally tended to slide downward.
His legs were properly dressed, as were all
his other burns, | myself early in the day
applied the dressing proper to his broken ribs.
The extent of the burns, and the number of
burned, made it seemingly slow to complete
the dressing but the whole necessary appli.
casions were made as promptly as possible,
aud promptly enough for all useful purposes.
Mr., Fields death was inevitable, because the
major part of his whole body was scalded,-
an injury from which have never seen a pa.
tent recover
No community could do more for the
suffering caused by the accident than was done
by the people at the Summit, and everything
was furnished for their comfort

INFALLIBILITY.
What it Does and Does Not mca

What il Does and Does Not Mean.
From the New York Tribune.
The adoption of the dogma of infalli-
bility does not impose a new faith upon
| Roman Catholics. With the theological
aspects of the case we have nothing to do,
and the varying opinions of Roman
Catholic theOlOgians we do not now con-
slider; but we state as an undeniable fact
| that the Roman Catholic laity firmly be-
lieve in the infallibility of the Pope; that
they believed in it before the Council
voted, and even before the Council was
called that in fact this body has only
now enacted into a dogma what has long
been the simple, unquestioning faith of
Roman Catholics in general throughout
both Europe and America. Many may
have doubted the wisdom of proclaiming
the faith, but practically all have held it.
Neither does the adoption of this dogma
threaten any schism in church which,
by reason of its age, its vast extent, and
Its powerful hold upon the minds of so
large proportion of the civilized world,
must long remain an object of profound
interest alike to friends and foes, to states
men as well as to theOlogians. The Ar
menians and others who, like them, have
hung loosely on the skirts of Roman
Catholicism may secede; but neither in
Europe nor America will there be any
serious, open disturbance of the harmony
of the faith. We have not been allowed
to print the debates, and only vague de-
tails of the actual proceedings in the |
Council have reached the public eye; but !
whatever disputes there may have been |
among the theologians, there are likely to |
be none before the people.
What the proclamation of this dogma
does is to sharpen the antsgonism between
Roman Catholics and the outside world, |
and to dwarf the powers and influence of |
their own hierarchy, outside of Rome. 1t |
is movement of separation and of CEN
tralizatlon; it builds a Chinese wall be- |
tween the world of modern progressive |
thought and the Roman Catholic Church,
and it gathers the powers of that church, |
more and more within the limits of the /
City of Rome.
Between Roman Catholics and the rest |
of the world there is henceforth an out
ward and visible sign of separation that
is immutable. Roman Catholics do be-
iieve the Pope infallible. No other hu-
man being can possibly believe it. The
distinction is inevitable; its influence upon
systems of faith, modes of thought, de-
velOpments of ideas, tendencies of pro-
gress, must be ineradicable, and the formal
of the dogma sharpens and in
tensifies it.
