ADDISON COUNTY COURT.
Continued from first page.)

THE other matters covered by the aftefS
noon session Wednesday, not included In
the above, are the cases of the State vs..
Oscar s. Crandall of Bristol, Harry
Jimmo of Bristol and E. L. Sherwin of
Bristol, each charged on the states attor-
ney's information with being common
sellers. The bail was fixed at $3.50 In
each case and was furnished to the salts
faction of the court.
At $3.50, after settling all of these
matters and finding that nothing more
was ready to be brought on for the day,
the court took recess until O'Clock
Thursday morning.
The proceedings in the court consisted
in the hearing Thursday forenoon of
motion for continuance on the part of
the respondent in the case of the State
VS.. Harold J. Stevens of Benson, In Rut-
land county, who is charged with H.
legally practicing medicine in this
county, in the particular case at bar in
Orwell. 1t appears that Stevens holds
certificate from the Cincinnati Medical
college and on the strength of that GER
tficate the Vermont Board of Censors
granted Mr.. Stevens license to practice
the profession in this state. Suisse
quently, the Board of Censors, having
reason to believe that the certificate
from the Cincinnati Institution was
fraudulently in possession of Stevens,
revoked his license to practice; and it Is
claimed that the respondent, in spite of
this revocation, has continued to prac-
tice as a physician. The respondent
wanted the case continued ia order that
1t could be taken to the supreme court
on questions of law, and the court upon
coming In for the afternoon session
granted the continuance, Stevens having
previously been placed Under $500 bail.
Former States Attorney Frank l.. Fish
assisted States Attorney Donoway and
w. II. Davis for the prosecution, and
Mr.. Stevens was represented by w. H..
Preston of Fair Haven and Harry Shurt-
left of Montpelier.
After the disposition of this matter
Charles f. Stebbins of Vergennes was
brought into court accused on informa-
ton with having exposed for sale and
selling two wild ducks, the penalty for
which is $40 per duck. Bail was fixed at
$50, which was Immediately furnished.
At 2;20, it appearing that there was no
case ready to be brought to trial, the
Jurors were excused until 8 o'clock this
morning.
The grand jury are still out. They
may report to-day or tomorrow, but
that is uncertain, and they evidently
NSeem to be in no hurry. 4

attempt utterly hopeless; that they could write
nothing say nothing in reply that wasn't self
evident nonsense.
The following is the summary in "Ellen" of
the argument on the nature of creation. And
we feel sure that one reading it will be
surprised that the above reward is not called
for-certainly so far as it refers to evolution.
For it is impossible for any intelligent person
who carefully examines the subject to fail to
perceive the nature of mind and the manner
in which it exercises its functions.
"There are but two possible conceptions OF
the nature OF creation-materialism or crea-
ton by the forces of nature, accepted by those
who say in their heart that there is no God,
if there are any such,-or creation by God as
narrated in the Bible. In one case it is sup
posed that creation proceeds from the lesser
to the greater-as Ellen thinks, an impossible
concepton-and the other that creation is by
the greater of the lesser. Were we left with
out knowledge in this matter there might per-
haps be some excuse for doubt. But we are
not so left, the whole matter being made SO
plain to us that 'he who runs may read. For
the guide boards stand everywhere and the
markings on them are in big black letters,
awfully plain; that intelligence and not mat
ter creatcs that the man makes the spade,
not the spade the man. And then comes in
the universal character of natural laws, sus-
tanned by every known fact in the universe, so
that it is indeed the fool, and no one else,
who says that there is no God"
"Well," ! said, "Ellen certainly has demon
stratet, fortified at every point, that God alone
is powerful as God alone is just that all
things are made by Him, and sustained by
Him. That in its nature creation is special
That it must be successive: first, because it is
inconceivable that God who is eternal should
cease to exercise His powers; and, second,
because OF the universally of natures laws;
for it is in this manner always that mind in
man creates; or mind wherever we are able to
follow its Methods

QUICK HoRsE SHoe,No Work.

Mr.. A. W. Carey, the blacksmith on
Court street in Middlebury, says that in
1882 he "turned," that is, shaped from
the iron bars, ready for use, two hun
dred horse shoes in six hours and seven
teen minutes. He also says that in one
day In 1892 he sharpened, fitted and
nailed on the shoes on thlrty.two horses,
helper simply doing the cllnching of
nails. He further states that in the last
week In November, 1901, he with his
hired man, Mr.. Cafferty, shod l76 horses,
hardening every shoe before setting by
his method, which makes them wear
very much longer, but takes consider
able extra time to do the hardening.

ELLEN, OR WHlePERlNos OF AN
OLD PINE"
SILENCE GIVES CONSENT,

A few weeks since we sent a copy of
"Ellen' to Prof. j. j.. Thompson OF Ok
ford University, England, saying In a
letter, that we perceived from his article
in Harper's Magazine of September that
he had abandoned the undulat0ry theo-
ries. We received very courteous ac-
acknowledgement of the book with silence
in regard to the undulatory theories,
which practically leaves it that the
greatest physicist in the world is now on
the right side of this question.

The sensational book of centuries, fevolu-

of all unduatory theories; shows that motion
is an essential part of matter; utterly disproves
evolution, or materialism, as general principle
of notwithstanding that the Bible position of

able logic, the ineradicable distinction between
mind and matter, and the Immortality of the

PROVIDENCE. II. l., Nov. 26, 1901.
Dear Mr.. BdtteU:
| enclose a clipping from the n. Y.
Daily Tribune of the 18th inst. which |
think may interest you, especially the
there are more entities in the universe
than are dreamed of IN the popular phil
osophy? Your book may be better
known hundred years from now than
by the present generation.
Sincerely yours,
JAS. Nj. INGALLS,.
"Somewhat revolutionary notions con-
corning matter and force are advanced
by d. A. Murray, of Ottumwa, Ia, in
"Atoms and Energies" which A. S.
Barnes & Co. have just published, and to
which Prof. Frederic Starr, of the Uni
versity of Chicago, supplies commend
atory Introduction. Like many others,
Mr.. Murray thinks that the basic mate
rial of all substances is one and the same,
and he accounts for their apparent differ
ences and for the phenomena of chemical
affinity by supposing that in shape the
atoms of one substance are unlike those
of all others. In solids and fluids the
atoms are in contact, In his opinion, and
not separated. He discredits the theory
that vibration is natural motion of the
particles of matter. Finally, he con-
siders both attractive and expansive
forces as entities, not mere attributes"
In the above letter Colonel Ingalls,
recognizes the great strength that even
erroneous hypothesis obtain, when
long accepted by authority; but the rev.
olution that is going on now in this mat
ter Of physics will not require any very
long time, and will probably be achieved
in very short one; for the facts are too
glaringly self-evident to be ignored by
the great intelligent public, or the ad-
vanced leaders Of science, such men as
Professor Thompson of Oxford, Mr..
Lodge, the great authority ON elec-
tricity, Wiechert, Kaufman, and many
others. They will surely follow where
more intelligent experiments lead them,
and through the advance of knowl-
edge the WholeIworld will gain once
more the great highway of Truth.
Then electricity, magnetism, gravita-
ton, light, heat and color will be no
longer secrets. And so, too, the causes
of the revolution of the spheres will be-
come as understandable andLsimple as
that of a train of cars. For the law of
movement, as well as that of creation,
is unquestionaDly universal, and belongs
to the essence of matter.

DURANGO MINES.
New Mills at Fernando Mines Run
by Electricity.

Dudley II. Norris of New York. the
general counsel for the Calumet and
Hecla Mining company OF Boston, ar
rived in the city yesterday from the
state Of Durango, where he has been
for the past few weeks on business
connected with the company. Mr..
Norris says that the Calumet and
Hecla company, which is one of the
largest in the United States, has just
started its mills at its copper mines
in Durango, which are known as the
Fernando mines. The mills have a
capacity for handling one hundred
and fifty tons of ore day. The entire
property and mills are operated by
electricity. The company has a con-
cession for Harvesting the water power
which generates the electricity to the
extent of 700 horsepower. Trolley lines
have been built from the mines to the
mills and the lighting and refining is
all done by electricity. The mills turn
turn out rich copper matte ready for
shipment.
Mr.. Norris expects to be in the city
for several days, after which he will
leave for Zacatecas, where he goes to
look after his own property, which in
cludes some of the best copper hold
ings in the state.-Mexican Herald,

IN this county division question II Is
not altogether a question OF taxation.
There is another and still more potent
questionable question Of right. In
all Of their arguments against division
the ants have never yet denied that
the people of the east end were put to
great inconvenience and expense
in order to attend court at Solomon
Vile. They will not attempt to deny
it, In fact they acknowledge it, but
they say that the time has not yet
come for division. The time will never
arrive when the people of Solomonville
will agree to division, neither do we
blame them for it, because it Il to their
pecuniary interest to hold the county
intact. When we get the new county,
either now or at some future time, it
will be due to the efforts of our people.
We must fight for it if we get it, but
we must 20 after it with an earnest de-
sire to win, and we will win. 1t is a
question of right and justice TO our
people rather than one of taxation,
though that of itself is sufficient cause
for division, as il would materially
lessen the expenses OF each county.
The people of the valley have shown a
total disregard for our rights and inter-
ests in this matter. They are guided
by purely selfish motives, and we
should look at the matter in the same
light. We must fight for our own in-
terest and our own rights. and keep up
the fight until we win.

Duncan, Ariz., Feb. 1S.-At noon on
Saturday, fifteen hundred pounds oil
giant powder exploded in the mine OF
the Commerce Gold and Silver Mining
company at Ash Peak.
Seven men are dead as a result of the
fearful blast.
The names OF the dead are: &. G.
Godfrey, MILFORD Wilson, Joe Alamo,
John O'Connor, Joe Phillips, and Chas.
O'Mell, all single men, and J. I. Caid.
who leaves wife and two children.
Two men who were working on the
fiftv-foot level were rescued alive.
Two of the bodies of those killed
were found yesterday at the bottom oil
the two hundred foot shaft. Every
bone in both OF their bodies was broken
by the awful force of the conclusion in
the confined space at the bottom of the
mine. The bodies bore the appearance
OF having been crushed under a heavy
weight, the blood OOZiDg from mouth
and ears and nose, and the skulls
smashed from being cast up against the
rocky wall of the fearful tomb.
The man at the within at the surface
was blown fifty feet into the air and in
stantly killed.
The other four are supposed to have
been at or near TIE magazine, going
:or powder, or returning with material
for blasts. What caused the explosion
will never be known. There was not
enough of the bodies of these four I'M
fortunate men pic, ID up to make one
whole man.
These four were literally blown into
atoms Only bits OF their bodies were
found last night by the searching
party, and shreds of burnt clothing,
buttons, or other trifling thing by
which to identify them.
The machinery and timbers from the
surface plant We're scattered all around
