DEATHS DUE TO IGNORANCE.
Two Cases Which the Coroner Inves-
tigated.

Coroner Roberts was called upon
yesterday to investigate two cases in
which infants died wholly or in part
through the ignorance of their parents.
one case was that of the child of
family named Hudok living at Jes-
sup. The child was born yesterday
morning and appeared to be very frail.
The parents feared it would die and
desiring that it should be baptised
FASTENED to the Polish church at Oily
phant, instead of administering lay
baptism, as is customary in such
cases. Shortly after returning home
the child died.
The other case was that of an in
FAINT boy named Geyza KOpachok, who
was found dead in his cradle yester-
day morning. The child had been
suffering from cholera infantum and
passed away in a spasm. The parents
did not know that the child was SER
iously i'll, believing all the time that
it was only feverish from teething.
The coroner gave a certificate in each
case without holding an inquest. He,
however, gave the parents in each in
stance to understand that they had
done a grave wrong.

WILL NOT GET PROPERTY.
Decision Given Against the ortho-
dox Greek Church,

Judge Durham, of Dushorc, Sullivan
county, handed down an opinion on
Saturday in the case Of the orthodox
Greek church VS.. the United Greek
church of Wilkes Barre. The case was
decided against the former. The suit
was begun in Luzcrne county in 1894
before Judge Rice, now president judge
OF the superior court. Judge Dunham
specially presided at the trial of the
case.
The case grew out Of split in the
church caused by the action OF the
pastor, Rev 10th. who came as min
istcr Of the United Greek church, which
has the pope az its head and afterward
established a branch of the Orthodox
Greek church which does not acknowl-
edge the pope. but places the car Of
Russia and the holy synod as its head.
After this had been done the mcm-
bers of the church who had been dc-
customed to the rites of the former de-
nomination tried to obtain possession
of the church property which consists
of a small church. a pastoral residence
and some land about e, in all valued
at about $4,000, and the suit resulted.
Judge Durham decided against Father
10th.
More than 900 witnesses wore exam
incd and the testimony covers more
than 1,O9C typewriter pages in book
form.
