CINCINNATI.

Five people I drowned, bur 25 others o.i board saved. The drowned pcop'.e were:
The Hercules (.'anvil pilot being located almost 1H-hind the groat steamer, was also unable to see the boat's position, and more likely it was not strong enough to turn its course against the I treacherous current. And so the fated Longfellow was carried like a helpless I tiling against the cruel immovable pier and crushed into a wreck. So (prick was the work of destruction that in five minutes not a vestige of the great steamer was visible except" hits of floating in the river. The cn'-oenh

Late in the afternoon in a portion of the wreckage, which had been landed some distance below the city, the body of a young woman was found. She was wearing a satin night dress, and a black skirt was about her feet as if she had been in the aet of dressing. A small satchel was in her hand, but it contained nothing to identify her.
The accident was one of peculiar horror. It was daylight, but the fog had not disappeared. The great steamer, fearful of passing the bridge piers, had been given the assistance of the powerful towboat Hercules Carrel. When almost upon the pier the pilot found himself confronted with an alarming condition. The powerful cross currents, which no human foresight could have located, caught the long steamer like a toy and turned the bow away from the course he had given if. At the same time the smoke from the lowered chimneys, which had been let down to allow the boat to pass under the bridges, was wholly obscuring his vision.

In an instant the ocean was lashed into a mass of foam, rising iu places in great geyser-like columns. Vessels

So Says Mayor Duncan in a Written Deeis-
.vision Delivered Tliig Mornlug.—
Appeal Taken. .-W*
The long looked for and anxiously expected decision in the Gardner Haines case was rendered this morning by Mayor Duncan at the court house, in the presence of a large number of our people, who have taken great interest in the trial since its commencement. At 10 o'clock Mayor Duncan touched the gavel, called order and immediately commenced reading his decision, extracts from which we give below:
The affidavit in this case is for praitic ing medicine without a license. I have carefully reviewed the testimony of the witnesses and 1 nd that they all agree in the statement that he treated them for some disease or injury, from the loss of a linger nail to cancer, or some other disease well known to the mind and body, and that for his professional services rendered in each particular case he clurged and received fees from ilie persons so treated by him, therefore placing himself in the relation in all intents and purposes as patient and physician. The manner of his treatment was somewhat unique and varied as the case might be in thought aud action, After talking to his patient and learning tbe nature and cause of the disease or ailment instructing him or her, as the cat-e might be to remain passive, throw off all care of business, or thought of pain or disease. He would tiien rub and sometimes fold his hands, close his eyes, aud sit in silent thought or prayer tor twenty or thirty minutes, and would repeat this demonstration sometimes as ofteu as twice a da3', aud this was his custom with all his patients.
Was this practicing medicine within the meaning of our Statutes as interprete:l by the Higher courts?
... The case of the State vs. Buswell, SuM. W. Hamilton, Douglas Beckner, preme Court of Nebraska, 58 N. W. 7:28, holds to this opinion."
In the Nebraska case to which we have already made refereuce, we have a case which in ali its phases is similar to the one at bar, and in that case it is held that any one "demonstrating" over the human system, known as the Christiau Science trial ment for all kinds of di?3ases and pretending to heal and cure the same, is practicing medicine under the law, and the court in summing up in that case as- I serted that it confidently believed that the exercise of the art or healing for a compensation, whether exacted as a fee, or expected as a guaranty, cannot be classed as an act of worship, neither is it the performance of a religious duty. The money for treatment or service ren
dered iu this case was always received by Wednesday the child struck its mouth against a box, one of its teeth. Blood
the defendent, sometimes in advance. The object of the statue is to protect ... _. the afflcted from the pretentions of the
ignorant aud avaricious and its provi.-iotis are not limited to thoso who attempt to follow beaten patas and established usages. Still more stringently should iis provisions be rendered effective against
pretentious based upon ignorance on the one hand anil credulity oil the other. In Ben ham vs. the State, Supreme Court ol Indiana. 110 Ind. 112, is the one upon winch the action is based.
In this ca^e Benham, without having a license, professed to be able to cure the opium habit and held himself out as a I doctor. Tho State did not care what metii •(U he lined in h.s treatment.
Now what arc the tacts in the ease at I bar. and what do they differ? Tlie ileI tendant issued a circular, "G. Haines,
ChriMiHh Science liealer, 1220 North Iliiiioio stiect, Indianapolis, Indiana Cousult-itiou tree. Ollice hours 9 to 12 a. m. and to N p.
We conclude irm the issuing and cr cu i.ttion of this card l.tiat lu de-iiivd and did make the impression upon tnu public mind that he was a. physician, who I could and did cure diseases. I la concluding we are of the opinion that tlie evidence given iu this cause iuI teipreted by the In/lit ol the evidence I given in the causes 1.10 Indiana 112, and
N. i2d, 1 idly sustains a convict ion, and tliat. the delrbduit is not included in I any of the exceptions of the statute. 'the religious doctrine and belie! of the delendant has been lugged into the trial ot thi-5 cause but I have not dwelt upon it neither do I care to, as it places the delendant under no disabilities nor entitles liiiu to any liberties or indulgences not vouchsated the citizens ot the State generally, and does not enter into the conclusions ot law, or go t.o sustain any issue iu the cause. The Constitution provides that we are all free and shall not be molested iu our religious belief for conscience's sake. 1 have arrived at the conclusions herein after a carolul and diligent investigation of all the questions of law presented to me, satisfactory to my understanding ot the law aud my conscience, and it it shall prove unsatisfactory to the defendant I hope he will avail himself of his right aud privileges of appeal.
Therefore in view of my conclusions in the premises I will assess against the defendant a line of ten dollars anil costs, and it is the further judgment of the Court that he stand committed until the line aud costs are paid or replevied.
Immediately after the decision was rendered, Elmer J. Binford, attorney for tho defendent, entered a motion for an appeal to the Circuit Court. The bond of the defendent was placed at $ 300. The case against Haines on the charge of failing to report a death return, by agreement among counsel, was withdrawn until after the above eas« was finally deciiled by the higher Courts.
