CHANGED FOR THE WORSE.
Young Stirling in a PrecariOus Con.
dition--Sympathy Expressed For
All Concerned.

The condition of James II. Stirling,
aged 10 years, of the Morning Neaus, who
was accidentally struck in the head by a
monkey wrench thrown by J. Wesley
Vernon, pressluan of the Daily Reputh-
can, on Friday last, took a change for
the worse last night.
Word was received from the Delaware
Hospital, to which place he was taken
after the accident, early this morning
that he was in precarious condition,
but it was still thought that he might re-
cover.
The utmost sympathy is expressed for
the young man ana also for George W.
Vernon, proprietor of The Republican,
and his son, who was the unwilling
cause Of 1t.
The accident was singularly unfortu-
nate one and all parties concerned have
the coincidence of the entire community.

COAL GOES UP.
The Price on Anthracite to be Raised
Twenty-Five Gents Fer Ton
in December.

1t is understood that the anthracite
producers of coal have advanced the
price OF the black diamonds Is cents per
ton.
As a result OF the present blizzard and
the greater harmony among the presi-
dents it is expected that today or tomor.
row all sizes Of anthracite will be ad-
vanced in price, to take effect December
l, and If the winter proves severe one,
as has been frequently predicted, no
doubt is entertained about the companies
being able to secure circular prices.
During the past week all the anthra-
cite producing companies have been min
ing and shipping enormous quantities of
coal, in order to make good showing
before November 3, when the hard coal
year ends. On the quantities moved by
each company its percentage for the
coming year will be largely based.
A number of the dealers in this city
have stated that coal will in all prob
ability be advanced 25 cents per ton
some time during December.

THREE mills CLOSED DOWN
Diamond State Iron Company
Shuts Down a Portion Of Its
Large Plant.
MAY BE ONLY TEMPORARY
One hundred Employees Thrown Out
Of Employment Think That 1t Will
be for an Indefinite Period.
Due to Lack of
Orders.
MAY BE ONLY TEMPORARY

That portion of the Diamond State
Iron Company's works located at Third
and Church streets will not resume work
this morning as was expected. The
works closed down Wednesday on &C.
count of Thanksgiving Day and it was
then understood by the employees that
the works would remain closed the rest
of the week.
A large shaft in the pudding mill
broke Wednesday last necessitating the
making Of repairs.
A force of hricklayers we're at work on
Saturday repairing the furnaces. At
noun they left to get their dinners and
when they returned found the lnborers
who had b Tn assisting them had been
laid off by the managers of the works.
The bricklavers were therefore unable
to continue work on the furnaces in that
portion of the works and were sent to
the main works on the other side OF the
creek to repair furnaces and they were
working on them alI day yesterday.
The man works were closed Thursday
but resumed Friday.
The portion of the works which will
not resume operations today are the TO-
inch mill, bar mill and pudding mill.
About 100 men will be thrown out OF
work by the shutdown.
Lack of orders to keep the mills going
is the reason for the close-down. II will
likely not be OF Of long duration. Agreat
deal of work can be turned out at the
main works where large force is en-
ployed.
The men who will be affected bv this
shutdown are the puddlers, heaters and
laborers.
They fully expected to go to work this
morning and the news OF the action OF
the firm is sad blow to them and they
appear to think that these three mills
will not again resume operations until
after the holidays, If then.
A gentleman cOnversant with the az
fairs Of the company stated last evening
that he did not think the mills were
closed for an indefinite period but he
thought that operations would be re-
sumed at an early date.
Nearly all of the men thrown ont OF
employment have large families to keep
and unless the three mills designated re-
sumo within sl,o,L time it will be hard
for them to keep the wolf from the door.

rough one and a very hard watch had o
be Kept in order to avoid coliding with
other craft. The binding snow made it

BOARD WINS
DIR. BURROUGHS AND THE "PSYCHIC
FORCE" SCHEME KNOCKED OUT.
Varying Stories of Joseph BaIdus and
His Wife-LitigatiOn of the
Odd Fellows.

Judge McMaster, of the Superior Court,
made ruling yesterday in which he sus-
tains the State Medical Board of Registra-
ton and Examination in the mandatory
proceedings brought by DR.. John A. Bur
roughs to compel the board to issue a GER
tificate on the strength of a license granted
him by the county clerk prior to the
passage of the new law governing the prac-
tice of medicine in Indiana.
The plaintiff is of the firm of Burroughs
& PEBBLES, which maintains offices in the
Lemcke building. They employ large
force of stenographers and typewrters and
send out much advertising literature. The
firm claims to have information valuable
to men. One of their periodicals is called
1.-The Temple of HEALTH a journal which
sets out the virtues of a cure by psychic
force" DR.. Burroughs in his examination
before the State Board of Registration and
Examination stated that THE Temple OF
Health" was DR.. Peebles's own scheme, ana
that he was employed by the doctor. 1t is
recalled that when the attorney general
asked DR.. Burroughs to state just what the
term psychic force meant the doctor was
compelled to admit he was somewhat con-
fused as to it's meaning. DR.. Burroughs
claimed to be a graduate of a Cincinnati
medical college which the Indiana board
AYERS is not recognized by the Ohio medical
board. The state filed an answer to the
plaintiffs complaint, which was met by a
demurrer. The case came up yesterday on
the plaintiffs demurrer. In its answer the
state board showed that it had preferred
charges against the plaintiff and had sought
to investigate the college from which he
was graduated. The contention of the
plaintiff was that the board had no power
to begin an investigation and go behind the
original license; that this is a judicial power
and cannot be conferred on an inferior
board. 1t is the contention of the State that
the medical board. The plaintiffs attorneys
further msintain that they have not at
tackled the constitutionality Of the law, but
they say it. must be held invalid if the con-
struction the board places on 1t is correct.
Judge McMaster overruled the demurrer
and the plaintiff was granted an appeal to
the Supreme Court The state board is rep
resented by Attorney General Ketcham and
Merrill Moores The plaintiffs attorneys
