COMPANY HAS STOPPED.
Pottjville People Are ot Working on the
Mears Building Now.
The Pottsville Iron company has dis
continued work on the Mears building
at Washington avenue "and Spruce
street. When Mr. Mears made his con
tract with the Pottsville company, it
was specified that the Iron framework
of the building should be completed by
Sept. 14 last, and that when the second
story of the building was finished Mr.
Mears should make a payment of
15,000.
A short time ago the Pottsville com
pany requested Mr. Mears to pay them
$5,000, claiming to have completed the
second story. He said they had not,
and then work was stopped on the
building. The many delays since work
was first begun had thoroughly wearied
Mr. Mears and. he was anxious to sever
his relations with the Pottsville Iron
company. He asked Its representatives
to name a figure that would compen
sate them for the time and material
furnished to date, his Intention being
to have the work completed under his
own supervision. The company said
$10,000, but Mr. Mears considered that
figure exorbitant and offered $S,000. It
was not accepted and there the matter
rests.
Yesterday Mr. Mears had a number
of men working on the building, and
will probably keep them at work until
tsome settlement Is arrived at with the
Pottsville company.

THE SUCCESS OF ANTITOXIN
Health Officer .Allen's Glowing Ac
count of tbe Pirst Bxperimeat. 1
WAR AGAINST I'NCLEANLINESS
Many Matters of Importunes Trsstcd at
an Interesting Session of the Dosrd
of Hsalth Yesterday Afternoon.
Colonel Klpplo's Resolutions,
Active and important steps wore
taken at the meeting of the board of
health yesterday afternoon In reference
to sanitary matters affecting the publlo
rtiealth. A resolution was passed at the
previous meeting of the board providing
for the appointment of a chemist, who
would mako a chemical analysis of the
milk proscribed by Food Inspector
Thomas. Mr. Thomas dumped a large
quantity of milk into the street, be
cause, In his judgment, It was not fit for
sale. The dealers thus deprived of the
confiscated fluid threatened to prose
cute the board of health, and for this
reason the appointment uf a chemist
was recommended.
Chemist D. W. Humphrey, of the
South Side, has made tests of the drink
ing water and he was present to inform
the board relative to the probable cost
of making these analyses. An informal
discussion took place and it was the
unanimous sense of the board that a
chemist for this purpuse ought to be
appointed to sustain the board's officer
in his disposition of Impure milk and
food. Hut the appointment of a chem
ist was laid over for another meeting.
Dr. W. E. Allen, health officer of the
board read the following report and it
received general commendation, espec
ially that section of It thnt referred to
the successful test of antitoxin In a
case of malignant diphtheria.
iieport of Health Officer.
"The cold weather haa kept back a
great deal of work that usually comes
to the board of health at this season of
the year. The streets and courts, with
a few exceptions, are In fair condition.
Scranton street, by reason of the flltti
which Is constantly being thrown Into
the street and gutter, is particularly
vile; and West Lackawanna avenue Is
again sending up Its unholy vernal
odors. I do not know how these things
can be remedied, unless officers can
be appointed to watch these cltlsensf?).
The North Main avenue and Decker's
court sewers have for an outlet the
ravine running from Main avenue to
the dump of the Mount Pleasant col
liery, and through the culvert under
the culm heap, and from there every
thing Is distributed through the fields
and Love road until some of It finally
reaches the river. This Is certainly a
dangerous affair and should be looked
after. The question of garbage collec
tion comes to the front now and must
be arranged If such a thing Is possible.
There is no feasible method in sight,
but I would respectfully suggest that
the board of health ask the assistance
of councils and ask for It now.
Test Made with Antitoxin. . .
I am glad to be able to state that I
have had an opportunity of. testing
antitoxin In one case during the month
On March 26 I visited, with Dr. Bern
stein, a boy 3 years old, son of Henry
Hanstien, of Cross street. Tenth ward
The child had been seriously 111 for five
days; his throat and fauces were cov
ered wUr membrane, the windpipe In
vaded and pronounced croup had exist
ed for two days. Breathing was very
dlflicult, Ah'! the temperature ranged
from 104 to 106. There was, I am sure,
no mistake In the diagnosis. Dr. Bern
stein had administered all of the most
reliable remedies, local and constitu
tional; but every thing pointed to a
fatal termination In a very. short time,
At 1 p. m. the antitoxin was Injected;
at 8 p. m. the temperature had reduced
to 100, breathing greatly Improved, the
child was sleeping quietly, membranes
had loosened from the tonsils. At 8
o'clock the next morning no membrane
was in sight, quite a large quantity of
It having been coughed up during the
night. Since then the temperature
has been normal, nothing to be seen In
the throat, no cough, no croup. In
fact, convalescence was established on
the third day, and the child has-been
well ever since. I am anxiously await
ing another trial."
It was decided to request Mayor Con
nell to Issue a public proclamation and
have the same printed In the shape of
posters, tacked up In conspicuous
places throughout the city, ordering the
public at large to cleanse their yards.
cellars and Outbuildings and put the
same In proper sanitary condition be
fore the warm weather approaches.
The following resolution Introduced by'
Colonel Ripple was unanimously car
ried: Colonel Klpplo's Resolution. '
Resolved, That the secretary of the
board be directed to inform the mayor
and councils of the filthy condition of
Scranton street and West Lackawanna
avenue; and notify them that the con
dition of these thoroughfares Is a men
ace to the public health and that they
must be cleansed; and as the North
Main avenue and Decker's court sewers
terminate at a point several hundred
feet from the river and In consequence
the sewage Is distributed over this sur
face, breeding disease, and being an
offense to the public, It Is resolved that
the drain from the present mouth of
the sewer be covered or piped to the
river.
It was recommended that the sani
tary officer and the member from each
district visit the publlo schools to In
spect the sanitary condition of them.
Food Inspector Richard Thomas re
ported that he made C86 official vlsltls
of Inspection during the month of
March and found the general condi
tion of the shops and" markets good and
the quality of food offered for sale .very
satisfactory, In view of the approach
ing season of warm weather, he scruti
nized with great cafe the lacteal fluid
dealt out at the different dairies In the
City and examined over 6,000 quarts,
which he found up to the standard.
But he had to forbid the proprietors of
two milk farms In iNewton township
from coming Into the city, because they
were too enterprising, having a very
strong propensity for diluting the nour
ishing bsverage with spring water.
He found about 1.200 quarts of milk
that was below grade and by virtue of
the power vested in him, dumped the
entire stock into the street and
watched it float placidly Into the sewer
basins and hurry on to mingle with the
rushing tide of the Lackawanna river.
Secretary's Monthly Report.
Secretary Walter Blrggs read his
monthly report and it contained the
Information that the rate of mortality
has been larger in March of the pres
ent year than It was in the same month
of any of the preceding five years. The
births for the month past were 124;
deaths, 146. Sixteen cases of contagi
ous diseases were reported; scarlet fe
ver, 9; diphtheria, 4; whooping cough,
2; typhoid fever, 1.
Chief Sanitary Inspector Thomas E.
Veal, of Atlanta, Oa., sent a communi
cation inviting a representative of the
board to attend and co-operate with a
convention of the sanitary chiefs and
health offloers of the United States,
which will be held at Atlanta, next
autumn, for the purpose of organizing
a National Sanitary association. Dr.
Allen will attend It The term of Food
Inspector Thomas is about to expire
and, by action of the board, his name'
Is recommended to 'the mayor for re
appointment. DECIDED AGAINST THEM.
Court Dismisses Writ of Bell a Hudson
Agslnsi County Commissioners.
The county commissioners will not
have to pay for the mercantile ap
praisement list printed In the Scranton
Times, unless the superior court should
reverse the opinion handed down yes
terday morning by Judge Archbald.
Tho opinion was concurred In by the
other Judges of the court. Hell & Hud
son, proprietors of the Times, applied
for a writ of alternative mandamus to
compel tho county commissioners to
advertise the list In the Times, for the
roason that the law provides for the
publication of the list In a paper that
represents the minority party.
The Times' proprietors alleged that
their pujwr Is the only one represent
ing the minority party. The commis
sioners ordered the list printed In the
Wochenblatt, which Is Democratic In
principle, and assert that that brings
them within the requirement of the
act.
The proprietors of the Times, through
their attorney, M, 10. McDonald,
threaten to carry the case to the su
perior court. Judge Archbald handed
do'wn a long opinion and substantially
says that the commissioners have dono
all that the act requires. The Wochen
blatt Is a representative of the minori
ty party and the act of assembly, ac
cording to the opinion, does not specify
that the Journal representing the
minority party must be printed In the
English language. The costs must be
puld by Bell & Hudson.

WHO IS JACOB CALVIN ?
He Lodged Com pi sin t Against the Proprie
tors of the Night Lunch Chariots.
Williams' City Directory and Street
Guide does not contain the name of an
Individual signing himself Jacob Cal
vln; but his signature was attached to
the bottom of a warrant sworn out be
fore Alderman Fltzsimmons last night
for the arrest of A. Goldberg and J.
Burros, proprietors of the Lackawanna
avenue night lunch wagons. The
charge in the warrant Is that the de
fendants are guilty of violating a city
ordinance by leaving a wagon standing
on the streets all night on the night of
April 4.
Constable Patrick Hennegan, of the
Eighteenth ward, served the document
and brought the men before the alder
man, who fined them $5 each. They
could not pay It and were released on
their own recognizance to appear Mon
day afternoon and liquidate the fine.
Alderman Fitzslmmons disclaims re

Them When a Good One Is Invented.
TRACK ON ROBINSON STREET
Mr. Clark Does Not Look with Favor
on the Project to Move It
to tho Middle of the
Thoroughfare. .
Vice President C. M. Clark, of the
Scranton Traction company, Is In the
city, and was Interviewed yesterday
afternoon at tho office of General Man
ager Beetem by a Tribune reporter.
Mr. Clark and Mr. Beetem had Just ar
rived at the office after coming from the
West Side, where they had met by ap
pointment a committee from the West
Hide board of trade, nnd had Inspected
Itoblnson, Ninth and Jackson streets,
An ordinance providing for pavlngthese
streets Is pending In the city council.'),
Before the work of paving these
streets begins, the street car tracks will
have to be moved, aH they run along
the lower side of the. street. Besides
being moved to the center of the street,
the tracks will huve to be made new,
that Is, un entire new rail, of different
pattern, the girder rail used on nsph.ilt-
ed streetH, will have to be substituted
ror the old T rail now In use. Tho
Traction company has had the right of
way nnd has operated thu tracks on
these streets since 1S70.
Condition of Affairs.
As la well known, the expense of pav
ing a street has to be mot by the 'own
era of property abutting on the said
street. The condition of affairs on
Ninth, Robinson, and a part of Jackson
streets, Is this: The property owners
on the lower or easterly side would
have nothing to pay In the way of pav
ing assessment, It Is said, because their
properties abut against the street-car
tracks.
Councilman P. J. Ncalls. with C. E,
Daniels and A. M. Morse, of the board
of trade, met Messrs. Clark and Beetem
yesterday and they went over the
ground. Nothing was done In a busl
ness way, but another conference will
take place today and Mr. Clark will
make known his ultimatum.
The idea of removing the tracks and
substituting a new girder rail, which
will have 'to be done if the street is
paved with sheet asphalt, did not strike
Mr. Clark very agreeably. The tracks
now used on these three streets, Mr,
Clark said, are good, and he even went
so far as to state that the company will
not put In a girder rail. This Is what
he said to a Tribune reporter, and he
will likely tell the same story to the
board of trade gentlemen this morning.
In regard to rumors that bob up inter
mittently concerning a contemplated
change In the management of the com
pany. Mr. Clark said with emphatic
force that there Is no foundation In
fact to them.
A Good Fender Wanted.
Asked to say something of the prob
ability of soon equipping the cars with
safetly fenders, Mr. Clark looked puz
zled and answered that the company Is
ready at any time to do this when a
fender has been invented that will fend.
According to Mr. Clark, none of the fend
ers now In use will do what is claimed
for them. Many of these equipments,
he believes, ore more ornamental than
useful. Mr. Clark referred to the sad
accident Thursday on Adams avenue
and the reporter asked him If the fend
ers now In use would not have pre
vented the accident? This question he
answered by saying that no human
agency could prevent some accidents
upder certain circumstances.
The Mooslc line was Inspected by Mr,
Clark, and he spoke about the likeli
hood of opening the road to Plttston
in this style: The Mooslc line Is owned
by the Scranton and Plttston Traction
company, and Is leased by the Scranton
Traction company. Just as soon as the
