TWO NEW CASES
OF SMALL-POX
DISEASE IS CONFINED TO THE
MEAB.S' HALL BUILDING.
Mrs. Charles Parry mul Her Daugh
ter tho Latest Victims A Strict
Quarantine Is Being Kept by the
Police Health Authorities Order
All Public Halls Closed Plans for
a Feat-Houso Have Been Prepared.
Select Council Provides for Freo
Vaccinailon in This City.
Two more cases of smallpox devel
oped In this city yesterday but thoy
brolto out fortunately In the Meurs'
halt building on North Main nvemio
near Seranton street which was placed
under qtinriintliio Wednesday night
when tho two children of W. .1. Brace
were taken III with the disease.
Officers were kept on guard all day
yesterday at the Meals' hall building
and ut the Rraco homo on North
Bromley avenue where the deaths of
George L. Lewis and Mrp. W. J. Bruce
occurred on Tuesday and Wednesday.
The second and third lloors only, of
the Moms' building are quarantined.
The health authorities are limiting an
earnest effort to secure tho names and
addresses of all the persons who visit
ed the Brace household during tho
sickness of Lewis and if they are run
down their homes will be placed under
quarantine until It Is seen whether
they developo smallpox or not.
The West Seranton victims are Mrs.
Charles Parry, her daughter Emma,
and two young children of the late
Mrs. William J. Brace, who was a
daughter of Mrs. Parry, and slstor-ln-law
of George James Luwls, who died
on Tuesday. The new cases developed
arc the outcome of the Lewis death
on North Bromley avenue, where the
Brace children were originally confined
and whore Mrs. Parry was earing for
Mrs. Brace.
PltONOL'NCED IT MEASLES.
Dr. Reynolds was called to attend
tho Brace children in the Mere' build
ing, nnd pronounced their ailment as
that of measles, but Dr. Paine, who
was called in the Lewis case after
death by the health ofTlcer, diagnosed
the disease as smallpox, and reported
II as such to Dr. Allen, superintendent
of the bureau of health.
Dr. Paine also reported the four
cases in the Parry family as small
pox, and the premises were accoidlngly
placarded with a smallpox sign yes
terday. Patrolmen were on guard all
day yesterday, and no one was allowed
to enter the building. When the in
mates wanted anything they gave a
signal from within, and the patrolman
on guard supplied them.
The West Seranton office of The
Truth, which is in the front of the
second floor of the building, was closed
and temporary quarters .opened up on
Seranton street. All dances scheduled
for Mears' hall have been cancelled un
til the siege la over.
The bureau of health will take charge
of the cases, and assign a physician
to look after the victims. Mrs. Ann
Thomas, of Hampton street, who has
hud tha dreaded disease, has been
placed in charge of Mrs. Parry and the
three children. She is a capable nurse.
Tho Brace house on North Bromley
avenue has also been quarantined, nnd
patrolmen kept all persons away
from the premises yesterday. Special
Health Ofiieer Thomas V. Lewis shot
and killed a dog yesterday, which be
longed to the Brace family, and thor
oughly disinfected the house.
The occupants of the house are Will
iam J. Brace, whose wife died there
Wednesday, and Mrs, George 'James
Lewis, whose husband died the day
before.
TAKING PRECAUTIONS.
Every precaution is being taken to
prevent the spread of tho disease, and
as a result of the West Seranton cases
hundreds of people in that part of tho
city were vaccinated yesterday.
Superintendent Allen, of the bureau
of health, said yesterday that It was
absolutely impossible to make any pre
diction as to whether the disease will
spread. Tho fact that the attending
physician did not realize that his pa
tients were suffering from smallpox
and that as a consequence no precau
tions against a spread of the disease
were taken until Wednesday night Is
what is giving the health authorities
concern.
After a consultation with Superinten
dent Allen yesterday morning, Director
of Public Safety Wormser issued the
following order prohibiting balls and
danijes of all kinds for tho present, a
copy of which was sent to every own
er of a hall in tho city.
Sci anion, Pa., dan. 2.1, 11)02.
Itair Wv: In view of Hie fatt that Unit! t)

to bo held in your ball until fuither not lev.
ThU order iniiH be strictly lomplled ultli. lly
uider of 1", i Wormier,
Diiector o! 1'iibliq Sufity.
Director Wormspr, when asked If
there was any possibility of tho tlie
utres being ordered 'closed said that
present conditions did not warrant such
action but Intimated time If the disease
spreads to any very great extent, this
may be done.
MR. WOnMSEU'rf STATEMENT.
"1 nm afraid wo are going to lmvo
serious trouble," said he, "and every
precaution that can possibly be taken
to prevent a spread of this disease Is
going I1 be taken. The action of the
doctor who attended Mr, Lewis and
who failed to call In another physician
lir consultation when he saw that the
symptoms were peculiar, having a
knowledge as he did that smallpox ex
isted in neaiby towns, Is worthy of the
severest Censure and to it can be traced
the spread of this disease, f it does
spread,"
The dlrpctor confirmed tho state
ment that a slto for a pest-house has
been selected and that such a building
will bo erected In ease the disease
spieads, Plans have been prcpaied
and figures for Its construction were
yesterday presented by at least one
contractor. The director would not
state tho location of tho site,
Superintendent Allen yesterday vac
diluted thirty-live members of the po
lice force in the basement of the mun
icipal building. Director of Public
Safety Wormser. Frank B. Reese, his
clerk, Food Inspector Wldmayer nnd a
number of employes of the building
weie also vaccinated,
The following patrolmen are lin
niunes, having had the disease, uud
will likely be assigned to the duty of
guarding Infected houses: Flnlny
Rots, Thomas Thomas, Thomas Low-
ry, David Parry, Charles Netils, John
Mrtlott, James Qtilnnnn, Jimies
Thomas ntld .Michael Wulsh,
Two., physicians have been kept ton.
Htuittly busy nt the International Cor
respondence schools during the past
few days vaccinating tho hundreds of
employes.
POLtCE TOOK HIM IN.
Hugh James, the siiinllpox Immune,
who laid out the body ot Mrs. W. J.
Brnco on Tuesday night, and who in
sisted In burying It, was seen wander
ing mound the sheets yeslcnlay by the
police and was taken to the central po
llco station where his Clothes were
taken off und thoroughly fumigated
with formaldehyde gas.
Dr. W. A. Palilc, who Is assisting Dr.
Allen In the handling of the smallpox
cases, stated yesterday afternoon In
response to a direct query fiom n Tri
bune man that there Is no danger
from coming In contact with n person
Infected with smallpox until the symp
toms of that disease begin to show
themselves. In other words a person
during what Is known its tho period of
Incubation cannot give another person
the disease except In rare Instances.
Piesldent C. E, Chittenden, of the
select council, Introduced a resolution
at lust night's regular meeting of that
branch, providing for vaccination of
all persons. It was passed unani
mously without comment.
THE RESOLUTION.
The resolution provides that a sulll
clent number ot competent physicians
be engaged to vaccinate all persons de
sirous of being vaccinated and that a
sulllcient quantity of ilrst-elnss vac
cine virus be purchased. Tho school
board Is to be asked to piovido a room
In each school building in the city for
the use of the physicians who shall set
one particular day aside for the vaccin
ation of all persons within tho district
surrounding each school and who
shall set aside another day leu days
later for the examination of all vaccin
ations made.
The resolution further provides that
the dates on which persons will bo
vaccinated in the several schools shall
be published In the impels and that
notices setting forth the fact shall bo
distributed throughout the city by
members of the police department.
It is very likely that a special meet
ing ot the common council will be
called today for the purpose of con
curring in the resolution so that Its
provisions can be carried out with all
possible speed.
Visitors will not bo permitted to
patients nt the Hahnemann hospital

ARE SUED FOR

Instnnce of Merchant Judkovlcs.
Hnggorty Trespass Suit Agninst
tho City of Seranton Verdict
Against F. P. Christian Other
Matters of Interest in Court.
In the common pleas court, before
Judge Edwards yesterday, some In
teresting testimony was picscntcd by
the plaintiff In the caso ot John .ale
wlskl against Max Judovlcs .and Juhn
W. Mlllctt.
XnlowlskI Is a very decent-looking
Polish miner, living In Dunmore. .lud
Kokovlcs Is a merchant doing business
on South Washington avenue, and Mll
lctt Is alderman ot tho Sixth ward,
Kalowlskl traded with Judkovlcs nml
got Into a dispute with him regnrdliiff
a balance. August 18 last, while on
a business trip to Seranton, XalewlHkl
was arrested on the street, on a war
rant sworn out by Judkovlcs, charging
him with obtaining goods by false pre
tenses. He was hauled befor.o Alder
man Mlllctt and, after a hearing, wan
hold In ?500 ball for court. John Ym
mlskl offered himself ns ball, but tin:
alderman refused to accept him, with
out making any Inquiries ns to whether
or not ho could qualify. JSunilskl pio
tcstcd that this was not right, where
upon he was adjudged guilty of disor
derly conduct and also committed to
jail. Both were released three days
later on hnbeaa corpus writs. Such,
at least, is the story as related by the
lilnlntifC's witnesses.
Halewlskl Is claiming $10,000 dam
ages for malicious prosecution, and
false Imprisonment. Ho Is trying to
show that his arrest was nothing inoro
or less than an attempt on the part
of Judkovlcs to collect a debt by crimi
nal process, as was a widespread cus
tom in various parts of tho city some
j oars ago.
P. F. Lttuglu'an appears for the
plaintiff. The defendants are repre
sented by Taylor & Lewis und Cawley
& Sbean.
Judge Ncwcoiub Is still enguged m
tho trial of the damage case of the
Patrick Hoggerty estate against the
city of Scrnnton. The plaintiff claims
$2,000 for damages clone two proper
ties on lower Jackson street, by reason
of the narrowing of that thoroughfare
to make a wide roadway on Robinson
street, which converges with Jackson
street in fiont of the plaintiff's prop
el ty.
A large number of witnesses testi
fied that Jackson sheet at this point
was originally fifty feet wide, and thut
thirty-one feet of it was appropriated
for tho widening of Robinson street,
bottling up the properties on Jackson
street, and decreasing their value
thereby.
E. W. Thayer represents the plaintiff.
The defense is looked after by City
Solicitor George M. AVat.son and As
sistant City Solicitor David J. Davis.
In the case of the Seranton Supply
and Machinery company against F. P.
Christian, a verdict was found for tho
plaintiff in the sum of ?SS3.37.

tions to the account of W. J. Sniffer,

count of tho absence of the accountant.

will be had on January 29, at 10 n. m.

Royer, who filed the exceptions, and
C. W. Dawson appealed for tho guar
dian, In the estate of Richard Harrington,
deceased, Judge Vosburg bunded down
his report as auditing judge, awarding
