Victim of Christian Science.

SCRANTON, Pa, Aug 2S.-Coroner
Roberts yesterday afternoon interfered
with. the funeral of little child of Mr.
and Mrs. Peter Peiber, of the Providence
section OF the city, forbidding the servic /,
until he had summoned the fury to in
vestigate the child's death. The child diei
from cholera infantum, after a week 5
sickness, during which there was no medi-
cal attention, and no other means were
employed toward bettering the child's
condition than the faith of a mothers
prayers. This was Mrs. Reiber's own
statement to the cofoner, she being at
tached to the Christian Scientists. In re-
lating the circumstances to Coroner Rob-
erts, Mrs. Reiber stated she had lost con-
fidencei in physicians by her own expe-
riences and that her health alone had been
bettered through prayer. The child, she
claimed had been previously restored to
health by the same means, and when
stricken this time she prayed for it's re-
covery, but when she saw there was no
improvement she believed the Lord want
ed the child and then her prayers were
that the child might die peacefully and
without commissions.

Although the Georgia authorities are not
altogether confident that the race troubles
at Darien are over, the civil and military
precautions taken at that place seem ade-
quate to prevent any very serious outbreak
of violence. Troops will be kept on the
ground until the murderer of Deputy Sher-
in Townsend, and the rioters, can be tried.
The hopelessness of making head
against the whole force of the State will
probably cause the negroes massed in the
neighboring swamps to disperse peaceably.
and they will no doubt do SO willingly il
the authorities have the good sense TO
promise and extend protection to such as
return to their homes and occupations.
Bad as the state of things in the Bruins
wick district of Georgia must be consid-

nicipal law but the Government of the
United States which is being defied BY a

negroes, but whites.
