THE CARDINAL is ILL
He is Suffering from an At
tack of Acute
Nephritis.

BALTIMORE, MD, September 2.-(Spe-
cial)-An effort to get a statement from
Cardinal Gibbons to-day relative to the
elevation OF Bishop Farley to succeed
the late Archbishop Corrigan, of New
York, met with the announcement at the
archepiscopal residence that His Emil
nence was sick and could not be seen.
From outside sources it was learned
that the Cardinal became suddenly and
painfully i'll Monday night. A hurried
call was sent for DR.. Charles O'Donavan,
but His Eminence's physician was in
Atlantic City.
Dr.. Edward F. Milholland was called
in and found the Cardinal suffering in
tensely from what the Prelate thought
was lumbago. Though DR.. Milholland de-
clined to discuss the Cardinals condition
it is learned that His Eminence was given
a hypodernic injection of morphine, and
his illness diagnosed as acute nephritis.
The Cardinal is considered in no danger
unless the attack is recurrent
The disorder made it's appearance last
week during the retreat of the clergy OF
Baltimore, Philadelphia, and Wilmington,

Though well beyond middle age Cardi-
nal Gibbons enjoys remarkably good
health, and while not Of a robust ma ture
he takes daily exercise and his gait

Situation is Critical.

BRAMWELL, w. VA, September q
The situation in the Flat Top coal field
is extremely critical, and the skirmish
between the strikers and the guards at
the Pocahontas Colliery Compa ny's mines
to-day, after the firing Of the mine by the
strikers, has greatly enraged the miners
from the fact that several men on their
side were severely wounded.
Acknowledgement Baker, who has been
in this section for few days. looking
over the territory, left at midnight last
night for other fields. informing the oper-
ators before he left, however. that he
thought the presence Of the militia un-
necessary at that time The outbreak of
to-day probably will change his opinion,
and it is thought here that before to-
morrow night, troops Will be either in the
Flat Top region or on their way there.
The Pocahontas Colliery Company has
the fire In their mine practically extin-
guished tonight. but have doubled their
force of guards, as another attack is
feared any hour. Many shots have been
fired from ambush in the direction of
non-union miners going to and from work
in the Flat Top field. The Elkhorn region
is very quiet, no violence having been re-
ported from that section to-day.
