THE PURCKLL CASE.
Verdict Was Rendered Last Night by
the Coroner's Jury Hughes Es
tablished an Alibi.
The coronet's Jury sworn to Inqulro
into the causa of the death of Michael
J. I'urcoll returned the following ver
dict last night:
Wo find that Mlcrnel J. Purcell was
on Sunday, December 31, 1S9, while ly
ing on the track nt the Scianton Hall
way company on Hemlock street, Kcrnn
ton, killed by being run over by a cur
of the said ccmpci y.
The testimony of Attorney C. C.
Donovan, given Thuisday night,
strongly pointed to the fact that Wil
liam Hughes, of Wyoming avenue,
was with Purcell as late as 11.20, or
about ilfteen minutes pi lor to the ac
cident and Mr. Donovan's testimony
was substantiated last night by Thos.
Mawn, who swoie he saw two men at
the South Side end of tho Roarlns
Hrook bildgc about 11.20 Sunday night.
Ono of them was suppoitlng the other.
The man who vva. doing tho suppoit
lng, Mr. Mawn said, looked just like
Hughes. Ho was convinced, he said,
as ho Ioo'ccd at Hughes last night that
ho was the man.
William Saville, who knew Purcell,
met two men nt the Scranton end
of the bridge at 11.1.". Ono of them
ho l ccognled as Purcell. The other
ho did not know. I'm cell seemed to
bo weak ami sick and his companion
had some dllllculty in suppoitlng him.
On the pnit of Hughes a perfect
alibi was made out. Michael Thomish,
of the Westminster hotel, said that
Hughes enteied the hotel a, few min
utes after 11 o'clock and lemnlnel
there for about twenty minutes.
Oeoige Emeilch met Hughes In the
hotel about 11.13 and saw him leave
five or ton minutes later. Hart Leo
nard met Hughes In the vestibule of
St. Peter's cathedral nbnut 11.10. He
did not say anything to nny of them
nbout Purcell nnd ho did not look as
If he had bad an adventure of nnv
kind.
From the ev Idence before them the
jurors enmo to tho conclusion that
while on his way home Put cell became
weak and fell down on the tiack. anl
while llng theie was run down by r.
trolley car bound tow aid the city.
MATTERS POLITICAL.
Th'! Fourteenth ward Democratic cau

Tbcro Is a peculiar condition of things
down In WIlkcs-Murro. At tho November

HEALTH OFFICER IS
G1VENJREE POWER
USE HIS OWN DISCRETION IN
CLOSING SCHOOLS.
At n Special Meeting of tho Board
of Health Last Night Dr. Allen
Was Authoilzcd to Close Any or
All the Schools Whenever He
Deemed It Expedient to Check the
Epidemic Check Put on an Abuse
Resulting from an Alleged Negli
gence of Physicians.
A general closing down of the schools
In the districts nlfccted by the epi
demic of contnglous diseases Is to be
resorted to. The bonul of health in
special session last night expressed it
self ns believing this expedient and
gave Health Otllcer Allen unlimited
nuthotlty to carry the Idea Into effect.
If In his Judgment a school should be
closed bo Is not to wait for tho advice
or suggestion of the board, but pro
ceed nt once to cloro It.
Every member of tho board was
present nt thp meeting, und Superin
tendent of Schools Howell nnd Presi
dent Jayne, of the bourd of control, at
tended by Invitation.
Dr. Allen expressed the opinion that
tho spread of tho diseases was not
traceable to tho schools as much as to
tho negligence of patents, ns contend
ed In his Interview In jctordiv's Til
bune. Whore ono enso could be tinced
to n school ten could be accounted for
by Infected thlldien being allowed to
associate at play In the streets or
nbout their homes with tho other chil
dren of tho neighborhood. He himself
had seen children who were suspended
from school by reason of the prevalence
of contagious disease in their house
holds plajlng with lnrge groups of
other children.
MATTER OF EDUCATION.
This latter evil could onlv be reme
died by the slow process of education
Within tho schools, hot. ever. It lq dif
ferent. This could be reached direct,
and tho only question wvs ns to
whether or not tho epidemic was now
of such a eharactet as would warrant
the closing of all the schools for a
time.
Mr. Jayne did not favor n general
closing down of the schools. In Green
Ridge, he said, ther weio two sclnnls
fioni which only three caos of ellpli
theila had been reported since tho epi
demic started. It was not necessary
to closo such schools ns these, he
thought, nny wore than 11 was to CI033

Superintendent Howell proved him
self to bo thoroughly ulivo to tho sit
uation and ndvanced n number of good
suggestions In a bilef addrc-s In le
spono to a icquest fiom Chnliman
Horn for his lews.
He staited out by stating that tho
diseases aio not epidemic In all por
tions of the city. The South Sldo,
Oreon Ridge nnd tho Central City are
nioie or less free fiom the contagion.
The districts most seriously nffected
are those served by No. 33 school, cor
ner of Olive and Tajlor, where there
are no cases, No. Vi, comer of Plnj
and Madison, with fifty-two cases; No.
10, Chestnut street, with foity-elght
eases; No. It, Hyde Paik avenue, with
tblity-tvvo cases; No. 21, Paik Place,
with fifty-five cases. No. fc., on tho
South Sldo, has a few cases, but they
nro very few as compaied to the West
Side and Seventeenth ward schools.
LIAHILITY REDUCED.
Tho liability of spi ending the disease
tbiough the schools would be very ma
teilally i educed, Supetintorident How
ell said, if it wasn't that physicians.
as well as patents, nre negligent. He
personally know of a. case w hero a doc
tor gave to a child a. permit to return
to school tho day after tho f uncial of
n member of that child's household,
who had died of contagious disease.
Affected chlldien weio given permits
at the first sign of convalescence, and
enmo back to school with stion,?
tiaces of the disease still about them.
Tho epidemic does not seem to wake
these offending phvslclans to the dan
ger that attends their negligence, so
the supeilntendcnt suggested that tho
question of when a quaiantlncd child
ought to be pennlted to rot tun to
school should no longer bo loft to tho
dlseietlon of tho phlclan, but a cer
tain safe time bo fixed by the board
of health; ten, fouiteen or twenty
day3, as tho health ollieer would deem
advisable. "
The state law says that a child af
fected with contagious disease shall not
bo allowed to lettun to school until
thirty days after convalescence, and
no other child In the household Is to bo
permitted In school fiom tho time On
caso Is lopoited until thirty dajs after
tho death or convalescence of the pa
tient. This law was deemed too stringent
nnd tho local authoiltles modified It by
leaving the matter to the dlseietlon of
the attending phslclan.
Superlntc nde itHowelladvlsednmond
Ing the blank form of tho board by
adding the following: " days hav
ing elapsed since (death or con
valescence)." Teacheis aie to be In
stiucted not to accept any pupil within
the period fixed.
SUUC.ESTION ADOPTED.
Tho board adopted this suggestion
and directed Dt. Allen to consult with
Superintendent Howell and fix the time
limit. It also, as stated above, dliected
him to use his own discretion about
closing schools, advising him to con
sult Superintendent Howell icgulaily
to asceitaln tho number of cases In
tho dlffeient dlstilcts. Dr. Allen want
ed the board to give hi m explicit direc
tions to closo n school whenever any
ono of its rooms has five cases of any
contagious disease. The board pre
fer! ed to havo the doctor use his own
dlseietlon and to net without limita
tions of nny kind.

eer were directed to lay the matter be

Inspector O'Mnlley's idea Is to have
the Janitor of tho school burn sulphur
near the suction fan after the close of
school in tho afternoon and follow It
up with nnnls oil as n deodorizer. Ton
minutes' work each day, Mr. O'Malloy
says, would make germ life In school
buildings impossible. Dr. Allen, Dr.
Rodham and Dr. Reynolds gave the
scheme their heartiest approval.
F, J. Johnson came before the hoard
with a proposition to permanently
fumigate buildings with n something
which ho applies to his walls with kal
somlno. Tho matter was referred to
Dr. Allen.
A suggestion from Dr. F. D. Rrewster
that tho bonrd adopt a special report

ESTIMATE PREPARED.
Amounts the Board of Health Will
Ask Councils to Provide for
Year Increase In Salaries.
The board of health prepated Its es
timate for tho coming llscal year last
evening, tho total amount asked for
being J14,;o, or an increase of J7.2JJ
over last yent'j nppioprlutlon. The
estlmntc provides for a general in
crease of salary for the various ofll
cors of tho board.
The salary of the health officer Is
fixed at $1,200 a year. Instead of $S00,
as heretofore; the salary of the food
Inspector nt $1,200, Instead of $500,
the salary of the plumbing Inspector
at $1,200, Instead of $1,000, nnd the sal
ary of the secretary at $S00, Instead o:
$G00.
An increase in the salaries of all of
the employes nt tho crematory Is
asked for, making tho totnl uppiopri
ution at $?,G00 ns coinpaled with $.!,100
last year. $1,000 Is asked for tho put
poso of purchasing tho lot on which
tho crematoiy stands $300 for repalu
and $1,000 for running expenses, Is
also asked for.
An nppioprlatlon of $900 Is asked for
the salary of an assistant sanltaiy of
ficer, und also $1,000 for an emeigen
cy fund.
Just how much of the $11,030, tho
estimates committee will carve off U
purely a matter of conjecture.
