FAITH THAT FAILED TO CURE.
Christian Science Healers Held fol
Grand Jury Action.


Mount Vernon. N. V, May 9.-Coroner
Benning yesterday made a thorough inves-
tigation of the sickness and death of Mrs.
Charlotte N. Barguet. who was under
treatment of Christian Science he8lers.
Pascal Barguet. Mount Vernon business
man and son OF the dead woman. told of
her sickness and treatment by Mrs. Ciar-
ence Fowler. a teacher of Christian
Science. He did not know what Mrs. Fow-
ler's treatment consisted of. and did not
have much faith in it. AS his mother grew
worse daily he appealed TO her to get
physician. but his efforts were overcome
by his father. brother and sister. who are
believers in the faith cure. Liston Bar
guet, jr., who has a degree in Christian
Science waiting him when he goes after it
with SIG0, testified that when his mother
was dying at o'clock on the morning Of
May 3. he hurried of after Mrs. Fowler to
take up the life thought" The coroner
tried vainly TO get out of the witness what
was meant by the life thought"
The idea was he suggested, ITO have
her catch the life thought, resuscitate and
restore the life. if you were not absolute
ly sure that the life thought had got out
of the ROOM.
Young Mr. Barguet firmly believed that
Mrs Mary Baker Eddy's book, Science
and Health is inspired like the Bible.
Mrs. Fowler claimed that she had simply
called as a friend and read to Mrs. Bar
guet from the books. She did not go as
physician. In another part of her testi-
mony she said that she had told the dying
woman that il she really thought medical
attendance would do her any good she was
at perfect liberty to call a physician, but
that Mrs. Barguet had stoutly refused.
Doctors Weiss and Nutting, who per-
formed the autopsy were of the opinion
that life could easily have been saved IL
an experienced physician had been called.
The jury at midnight found that Mrs.
Barguet came to her death of dropsy
which could have been cured had the pa
tient received proper medical treatment.
Mrs. Fowler, Liston Barguet, jr., and Miss
Ethel Barguet were pronounced guilty OF
culpable neglect. which the public
welfare demanded should stop. They rec
ommended that action be taken to punish
them. The coroner then ordered City
Marshal Won Garrell to bring Mrs. Fowler.
Listen Barguet and Ethel Barguet before
him. Sitting as a committing magistrate,
he held Liston Barguet and Mrs. Fowler
to await the action of the grand jury.
"In other words.'' said the coroner.
you are committed to the county JAIL"
Miss Ethel Barguet was held as an acces
sorry, but the coroner said he would i'm
pose no bail in her case. The other pris-
oners gave bail in 81. 900 each. David Car
penter. of New Rochelle, being their Sc
curity.

LIVES WITH ONE JUeuLAR VEIN
Patient Recovering From Rar,
Surgical Operation.


New York. May "a surgical operation
which has attracted a great deal Of atten-
ton in medical circles, and from which
only three people have ever recovered. was
performed a few days ago at the New York
Eye and Ear fnfirmary, and yesterday the
patients recovery was though certain.
Some weeks ago William Jennings,
nineteen years old, living at Greenport. l..
l., went to the hospital TO be treated for
necrocis in the bone behind the left ear.
Three operations were found necessary, the
third. consisting In removing portion OF
the left jugular vein. being the one medical
men were deeply interested in. The op-
Grafton is but rarely tried, as there is
hardly one chance in a thousand that the
patient will live.
The first operation on Jennings consist
ed in removing about three inches of the
diseased bone from the skull. Next the
brain was probed, and an abscess, which
had been formed. cut out. The removal
of the left jugular vein was made neces-
sary by the presence of three clots. which
would have caused death unless the vein
was removed and the right jugular vein
made to do double work.
The operation was performed by DIR. Cor
ham Bacon, with twelve physicians in at
tendance. Jennings was told Of his slim
chances of recovery. but courageousiy told
the physicians to go ahead. The jugular
vein was severed Just above the collar
bone and then cut from near the upper
part OF the head and the ends knotted. the
portion taken out being several inches long.
At this point the patient passed through
the most critical period. He was not under
the influence of a drug, but lost all con-
sciousness. Twice his pulse disappeared
entirely. Epidemic injections, and the
best methods known to medical science to
induce artificial respiration were employed,
with the result that he was brought back
to consciousness. Food was forced into
his stomach by artificial means. as the
operation had so weakened him that he
could take no nourishment.
Last evening 1t was said at the hospital

Strikers Likely to Win.

Elizabeth. n. j.. May 9.-The strike of the
'longshoremen at the Central RAILROAD wharves
Elizabethport, is about to end. The Italians
whom the railroad company brought from New
York to take the places of the strikers. and who
worked Saturday and Sunday. failed to appear
yesterday, and the work of unloading the canal
boats is at a standstil. The Italians. it is said,
found the work too heavy for the pay they were
getting, and quit. They hired by padrone
in New York, and the railroad company paid him
so cents apiece for securing the men, A con-
ference held between the strikers and the
company's agent Mr.. Finch. and it Is expected
the strikers will be taken back at their own
terms Of IS cents an hour.

New Locomotive for Sweden.

Newport News, Va, May 9.-An engine built
by the Richmond Locomotive Works for one of
the railroads in Sweden arrived here yesterday
on its trial trip. 1t differs in many material
points from the engines in use in this country.
1t has no bell and no pilot cowcatciier. These
two essential features of the American railway
engines made unnecessary in Sweden by rea-
son of the fact that the railroads there are
fenced in for the entire distance of the routes,
and there is danger of persons animals
crossing the tracks and laying themselves liable
to injury and death The engineer instead of
sitting on the right side of the engine, he
does in this country sits on the left. and all OF
the signals are on that side. The new engine
made splendid trip down from Richmond,
bringing General Manager Doyle's private car.
