Verdict of tho Coroner's Jury in the
Case of Charles W. Wright, Who
Died in Jackson House.
It was decided Int nlfiht by the cor

ho died fiom n.ituial caifps and not
from poison, ns was suspected. The
Ineiuest was eondiicted by Cuioner I.
J. Huberts In the aibitiatlon loom at
the court house.
Wright died on Dec. IS nt thu Jack
Ron House, on I'lanklln avenue, where
he had koiip the nlsht hefoie. He hal
came to the place about 11 o'clock,
Kono to bul and nothing fuithoi was
seen of him until LMIO o'clock the fol
low InK afteinoon. when he was iIIm
Loieied In a ililnjr condition by .1
elianibeiinald. The lliwt witness called
last nlfiht was Katie Knadler, Mho
lives at 3.M Center stieet. She testl
lled that on the Sunday hefoie his
death Wilu'lit was In the house nnd
was In a ill unken condition. There
had been a sllpht iiuauel and she had
left thu loom. When she letuiiied
WilKht told her that he had taken
laudanum. She found an empty bot
tle In his pot ket, but, novel theloss,
thoiiKht he was only Joking. She then
went over to the Center street police
station and asked that some one be
sent over to take WiIkIU out. Detec
tive John Molr and 1'atiolman l.ona

was the last she saw of the man until
she viewed the lemains In the Jackson

This concluded the evidence. The

TWO MORE PUBLIC
SCHOOLS CLOSED

AND SCARLET
SPREADING.
In Consequence of the Prevalence of
These Diseases Among tho Pupils
of No. 10 and No. 33 It Has Been
Decided to Close Them Thirty
three New CaseB Reported to the
Board of Health Yestetday That
Body Failed to Meet Last Night.
Only One Member Present.
Two inoi e public schools, No. 10 on
Chestnut Htuet nnd No. 33 nt Madison
nveniiu nnd Pine street, are to bo closed
today becnuse of tho prevalence of
diphtheria and scarlet fovor among the
pupils of these schools.
As reported In The Tribune yestet
day, No. 33 has already been closed.
All of these buildings uto to bo thor
oughly disinfected and fumigated be
foie they nie again thrown open.
Tlii- boaid of health was to have had
a meeting last night, when it was hoped
some steps would be taken to put an
end to the epidemic of ellphthctla nnd
se.u let fever, but only one member of
the bond put In an appearance. That
was PtosldeiU Oeorge S. Horn.
Superintendent of Schools Howell
said csteiday that the members of the
bo.iul of health evidently do n$t re
alize the gravity of the situation, and
the failure of the members to attend
last night's meeting would Indicate that
this Is ttue. The diseases continue to
sin i ad and deaths from them are be
coming nlnitulngly numctnus.
casks KEPorrrnn.
The number of cases of diphtheria
and scat let fever leported to tho board
of health for the past two weeks is
I'llger than for anv similar period
since the present epidemic of these two
diseases lngan.
riom Decern ner 20 up to yesterday,
January 3, Inclusive, theie were 150
cases of these two diseases reported.
Ycsteiday the number of cases reached
the alarming number of thirty-three,
lift con being diphtheria and eighteen
scat let fever.
Superintendent of Schools Howell is
espedilly alnimed nt the situation,
and ho says that something must be
done Immediately to check the spread
of these contagious diseases oi alarm
ing consequences may ensue.
He stated yesterday that he btlleved
the spread of these diseases could be
traced to the school play grounds
rather than to any other source. Ho
futther stated that If he had his way
thtee other schools in addition to
No. 3" would be oulered closed at once.

Chestnut stieet, this morning had I

Tho other schools mentioned by the
superintendent veie No. 21, on Short
avenue, and No. 33, at the coiner of
Madison avenue and Pine street. Lat
er in the dnv the controllers In the
wards In which No. 16 and No. 33 are
located decided to close them.
In the neighborhoods surrounding
all of these buildings the two diseases
mentioned aro especially prevalent.
Theie are twenty-five cases of diph
theria alone, which have broken out
within the pnst week or ten days
among the children attending No. 18
school.
Just for the puipoo of showing that
tho I,,-scnt oondltlon Is un excessively
abnoimal one It might bo mentioned
tint where, as befoio atated, theio
havo been ISO eases of diphtheria and
real let fever reported for two weeks,
under ordlinry circumstances n similar
pulod of time often posses without a
single case being reported.
BOARD DID NOT MEET.
Reports of the Officers That Were to
Have Been Read.
Piesldent cJeoige S. TToin was the
only iiiembci of tho boaid of health
who was present to attend last night's
regular monthly meeting of that body,
and consequently no action was taken
with icteience to the epidemic of con
tagious ellscaK s.
Health Ollleer Allen was on hand
with his lepoit, in which he carefully
goes over the question and offers sug
gestions. President Hoin has called a
siiecl.il meeting for next Monday night.
The following is Di. Allen's report:

Every Claim Is Backed by
Local Testimony.
If the reader wants anything strong
er than tho opinions nnd eNperlences
of his neighbors, what can It be?
Mr. S. A. Botincy, of MS Wyomlns
avenue, employed nB night watchman
of tho Clark & Snover Tobacco Co,
says: "I suffered with dull, heavy
aching act oss my back which was
much more severe It 1 had to climb
many stairs during tho night. I wai
also troubled with suppression of the
kidney secretions, very annoying at
night on account of the frequent ac
tion. I tried a number of so-called
kidney cures und took a number of
boxes of one kind, but I got no benetU.
I heard so much nbout Doun's Kidney
Pills that I got them at Matthew
Hros.' drug store and after taking
them a short time 1 found they worn
helping me. Finally the pain In my
back left me entirely and tho other
dllllcultles were much Improved."

ilcer Burke abated twelve nuisances tho
entlio number complained of.
Tho number of cases of diphtheria and
scarlet fever reported has not been di
minished, though tho mortality bus not
liiere.ited. Kvery effort In tile power of
the board of health has Leon made to pre
vent the spread of these diseases, but It
it Is not necessary to lemark that the
power of the board of health under ex
isting ehcitmbtar.ecs is not what eould
be deslied or what It stuuld be. Thero
has been, naturally enough, some crltl
elsm and fault finding and us health ol
lleer I hnvo been In torstnnt receipt of
advice nnd Instruction ns to the proper
method of stamping out these disease!
and Infoimatlon as to how wisely somo
sra tiler cities manege such emergencies
nnd Insisting that all public schools
be Immediately closed, etc.
If the pcoplo refeircd to understood
moro fully the act of nesembly under
which wo arc woiklng and tho real dif
ficulties by which we are handicapped,
our earnest cllorts might possibly bo
thought less lightly of.
It is a fact that theso diseases are pre
valent In every direction and our recird
us to tho number of cases und mortality
percentage Is lower accoidlng to popula
tion than that of many other cities and
boroughs. The question of closing the
public schools has more than one side. If
it can be shown that manv cases or any
rase of diphtheria or searletlna can be
traced to any school building, then that
should be closed, famlgatcil and disin
fected by tho board of health and kept
closed a proper length of time, but It
would be manifestly vrfalr to the board
of control nnd to the community to or
der school buildings closed from which
no cases have been lepcrtenl.
As a rratter of fact I believe tho pre
valence of these diseases Is duo ns It
was during the last ep'demlo of measles
to the thoughtlessness and almost crim
inal negligence of parents. If one child
who Is 111 Is kept In bed, five or six moro
who aro not allowed to attend schoel,
roam tho streets, visit their friends, have
a fine time and scatter tho disease broad
cast and their parents wonder why the
boaid of health does pot tako more ac
tive measures to control this terrible
epidemic.
This Is not an exaggerated, but a very
modest statement of facts. I would re
specttuity request that tho board cf
health Instruct the board of control to
forbid nil pupils returning to school with
out a certificate from tho attending phy
stcian stating that the case has been
fully recovered, tho house disinfected nnd
that ten weeks have passed since eon
valescenco was established.
No. 3"i school was disinfected with for
inaldoliyilo gas, 33 and 10 will be fumt
gated tomoirovv and nil will bo closed a
Ruffle lent length of time.
This Is 1900 of the Christian era nnd It
Is to bo hoped that before tho jear 1133
cities cf the third class in Pennsylvania
will be able to give their boards of healtn
authority to do what thev consider neces
sary for tho public health.
Yours respectfully,
W. 12. Allen, M. D., Health Officer.

HIS RESIGNATION
SIMPLIFIES MATTERS FOR THE
COURT AND POOR BOARD.
Letter Containing an Announcement
of tho Receipt nnd Acceptance of

Glllesplo by Judge Archbald Re
organization Is Scheduled to Take
Placo Tomorrow Morning nt 8
O'clock The Ftesent Officers.
Theio will bo no contest over W. S.
Lnngstaft's seat on the poor board.
The following letter explains why.
Scranton, Jan. 3, 19iA
C. J. ailleple, Bsq , Secretary Scranton
Poor Board.
Dear Sir: I have Just received and ac
cepted tho written resignation of W. S.
Langstaff as n member of tho Scranton
poor board, dated nt Port Clinton, Ohio,
December 21, vj). PlenFo convey to the
bo in! this fact, at the next meeting, so
that appropriate action may bo taken
thereon. Yours truly,
It. W. Archbald, President Judge.
Appropriate action meani the seat
ing of Samuel Williams, whom Judge
Archbald on Monday last nppolnted to
fill tho vacancy alleged to exist by
reuson of Mr. Langstaff'a failure to
act ns poor director. In making tho
appointment Judge Archbald said his
action was not t" be construed as an
adjudication of the question of an ex
isting vacancy. It bad been formally
alleged to him that a vacancy existed
and ho had made an appointment to
fill the vacancy If ore existed. Whether
or not a vacancy existed would have
to bo determined by quo warranto pro
ceedings. Mr. I.angstnff's action saves
the necessity of such a proceeding.
The next meeting of the poor hoari
will tako place tomonow morning at
S o'clock. It will be the last meeting
of the old board and at Its adjourn
ment re-organlzatlon for tho ensuing
year will be In order.
As far as can bo learned nil the
present ofllcers will bo re-elected, with
tho possible exception of Outdoor Phy
sician M. B. Williams, of the We-jt
Side, who declines to setve another
term. Dr. B. G. Peddoo Is his likely
successor. Attornev C. E. Olver Is a

KATJFFMAN STILL HERE.
He Is to Be Sent to His Relatives
in Philadelphia.
Ignatz Kduffman, the eighteen-year-old
boy, whose pockets were picked at
the Delaware and Hudson station last
Saturday night, has been with the local
police ever since, being given lodging
at headquarters In the city hall.
The young fellow has only been In
America eight months, and had man
aged, by peddling, to scrape together
about $49. With this and a ticket to
Philadelphia he boarded the train, but
when the conductor enme around for
his fare the boy found he had been
robbed.
He got off the car, and after stating
his caso at police headquarters, took
