FEEDING OF PRISONERS. Testimony on the Cost Thereof Being- Taken for the CourtWit nesses Heard Saturday. Depositions were taken Saturday before Commissioner AVillis D, Coston lu the matter of fixing the compensa tion of the sheriff for feeding prison ers. The county commissioners had been erroneously assuming this duty, and were contemplating a reduction, at the suggestion of Controller Jones, when Sheriff Sehadt forestalled them' by showing through his attorneys, O'Brien & Martin, that it was the court and not the commissioners, who have the authority to fix tho compensation. The sheriff Is at present receiving twenty-five cents a day for feeding each prisoner, and he contends that tills 1b not too much. The controller holds that this flguie Is too high. The court declined to pass upon "tho mat ter until It had some light, and ac cordingly appointed Mr. Coston as com missioner to take the testimony cash side had to offer In support of Its con tention. SheilfC Sehndt's side of the case win heard Saturday. He had M, J. Healey and Charles Senker to tell the price of groceries; George AV. Beemer, supeiln tendent of the poor farm, to give the cost of feeding Inmates of Hillside Home; T. i Melvln, Peter Rosar and Martin O'Connor, to tell of the cost ot different commodities purchased for hotels, and ex-Sheriffs John J, Fnhey and Frank Jl, demons to ti-ll of tho expense of feeding prisoners during their respective terms as sheriff. Sheriff Kehatlt also went on the stnnd and testified to the bill of fare ho servos in the different seasons, tho quality and quantity of. provisions pur chased, and tho expense of preparing and nerving meals. The other side of the cube is to be hoard next Saturday. O'Brien & Mar tin represent tho sheriff.

Six-Year-Old Child Died Yesteidny Afternoon and Wns .Hurled last Night Her Father Unnblo to Evon View the Body No New Cases Reported Yesterday Prob nble Manner in Which Lewis Con tracted the Disease and Brought It Here Fliemen Vaccinated. Much to tlte surprise- of the health authorities, there have been no new cases of small-po reported during tho past two days. This fact, however, has not caused tho slightest relaxation In the precautionary measures already adopted. The only Important development in tlte situation yesterday was tho death of 0-ycnr-old Grace Brace, daughter ot Mrs. A . J. Brace, who died lnst weak at her home on Noith Bromley avenue, whore 0. J. Lewis died ot small-pox the day before. Tho Brace child con tracted the small-pox upwards ot twelve days ago and has been quaran tined In tho Meat's hall building, on North Main avenue, since last Tues day. Tho little girl died yesterday after noon at 5.30 o'clock and was buried last night in the Cambria cemetery. A pa thetic feature of the death was the fact that the child's father, who is quarantined at Ills home, was unable to take a last look at the body before it was removed to the cemetery for burial. He brolw down completely when told of the little one's death and begged to be allowed to see tins body before It was placed In the earth, but the officers were obdurate imd refused to permit hint to leave tho house. The 10-year-old daughter of Mrs. Charles Parry and the -1-year-old Brace boy are now the only two patients re maining afflicted with the disease, It having been discovered that Mrs. Parry wits suffering from another complaint entirely dissimilar from small-pox. It is a significant fact that none of the three children afflicted with the disease had ever been vaccinated, while Mrs. Parry was vaccinated in her early youth. STRICT QUARANTINE. A strict quarantine is still maintained at the Brace house, on North Bromley avenue, as well as at the Mears' hull building, and officers are guarding the premises night and day. Health Offi cer Thomas A. Lewis Is constantly at work fumigating all places where there is any likelihood of contagion. The Salvation Army barrack, on Price street, has been thoroughly disin fected, and the Jacks-cm street police station was filled u 1th formaldehyde gas yesterdaj' afternoon. Superintendent Allen, of the bureau of health, when &een yesterday after noon, stated that the situation looked promising1, but that predictions as to the possible spread of the disease would be futile until it has been ascer tained whether or not any ot the per sons exposed to contagion in Arest Scranton contract the disease. It will be impossible to tell this until the end of the present week. The manner in which the disease was probably brought into this city has been explained by AV. J. Brace to some of the officers who have been guarding his home. He says that Lewis, who came on hero from Ohio, struck up an acquaintance on the train with a man from Plymouth, who had gone to Johnstown to attend a funeral, and who was returning home. Brace says that Lewis stated that this man had complained of having felt ill and that he had an eruption on his face. Tlte health authorities are inclined to believe that Lewis con tracted the case of small-pox which re sulted in his death from this mj-ster-lous stranger. AVOIUC ON HOSPITAL. AVork on the emergency hospitul, which Is being erected on the AArest Mountain a half mile from any habi tation, is progressing rapidly, and It is believed it will be ready for use, if needed, by the middle of the week. Forty-seven firemen were .vaccina ted yesterday afternoon In t ho municipal building by Superintendent Allen, of the bureau of health. The others will be vaccinated either today or tomor row. Every physician In the city is doing hardly anything these days except vaccinating the young and the old. A certain well-known practitioner stated yesterday that he had vaccinated no less than seventy-two persons one day last week and forty-nine another day. The physicians say that if as many ate vaccinated this week as last, that when It draws to a close nearly every per son In the city In need of vaccination will have been attended to.

THE ALLIANCEASSAILED. Strong Resolutions Adopted by the Central Labor Union at Its Meet ing Yesterday. The following resolutions were adopt ed yesterday by the Central Labor union: Whereas. We bollcrp the Citizens' Alliance! got its Inception fioin men who are known to hive been niitagonUtlu to organised libor and under its banner has c-mollcd many innocent people; and, Whrrcii", Wc brllee many ot the business and profession il men ef out city bale allied them selves villi this oiganballoa under the impie3 sion that It was lor tho betlcuucnt of conditions gencrallj with iepcct to disputes between cap ital and labor; and, iMiciviii', 'Ihe C'iticns' Alliance has only ic suited in lending the good fcelu.g that did ex M between capital and laboi, mid created cla--s distinction to a gicater degree in our midst; and, Whereas, The lecent developments lead in to belieie tb.it some of these people, who profess to decry and abhor bojeotts as illegal con spiiacics, bae resoited to mole damnable tac tics, adding attempted bilbery to the other of fense; and. Whereas, We believe the Cllircirs' Alii nice his del doped into a conseivatn,- ot tho intercuts of the Scranton Itailway company in particular and airaiiwt oiniinircd lahor in general; and, Whereas, The Central Labor union lnd hoped that tho Citizens' Alliance might bale passed out of existence witb its oath-bound secrets tied up within the bieasts of the men who brought the oiganization into being; thcrefoie, be it Itcsolicd, That tho Central Iibor union de plores the sentiment which developed tlm organ ization of the Citizens' Alliance, for its whole piogress has rnaiked n deteimlned effort on the part of its leaders to encourage a vicious hos tility to tiades unionism tu the city and vallej-. Its conlinuinc-e along the lines which it lias followed must icsult in iiieparnblc liijuiy to the business and labor inteiesU of this com munity by sepaiatlng and placing in antagon Km lhee two potent f.iolois.

Itesolied, That the developments of the pa-t week indicate eoncbisliclj- the nccolly for strong and derisive action on the twit of tbii cuginizatloii to maintain the integrity of oi gaulzed labor in this I alley. 'Ihe methods lo fiorted to bj those whom wc bellcie to be the agents of the Citizen' Alliance and the bnan ton Itailway company to saciiflce the intcrcits of the stilking sticet ear men we bclicic ju-tify us in the adoption of most stringent methods to bring the prc-ent strike to a t-ucccsntiil ter mination.

IN DANGER OF A DISRUPTION STREET CAB' STRIKERS' UNION IS DIVIDED. Five Mombeis Whot Waited on Gen eral Manager Sllllmnn Independ ent of tho Executive Board Aro Subjected to a Severe Arraignment nt Last Night's Meotlng They Retort In Kind and a Warm Time Ensues Motions to Return to Work Declnretl Out of Order. For some time pust, dl3Natlhfactlon has been growing lu the ranks of the street car strlkcis. Some of tho strikers believed tliat Inasmuch us tho executive board was not accomplishing anything towards settlement and that the possibilities of settlement had not been exhausted, a new committee should bo selected to wait on tho com pany ofllolals and endeavor to restore peace. ' Saturday last, live old-time employes of tho company, Messrs. Fleltz, Lynch, Dickson, Cavanatigii and Nicholson, waited on Gencrul Malinger Sllllmnn and spent nn hour conferring with hltn as to the possibilities of bringing about nu adjustment. They went as Individuals, openly, lit broad daylight and aware of the fact that two mem bers of the executive board Matched them enter and leave. At last night's meeting of the stt lit ers, these llvo members came lu for n Kcuthhig denunciation ut tho hands of the executive board men and the rep lOMMilallvcs of the Central Labor union who are Interesting, themselves lu the conduct of the strike. They were characterized as traitors and a committee of three wns appointed to Investigate and recommend whether or not they should be expelled. COMMITTEE REPLIED. The live members were not a whit disconcerted by tho arraignment, but Instead made reply to every attack und took a turn at recrimination when tho executive board members were calling names. Charges and counter-charges were freely exchanged, and, as one of the on-looking members put It, "They had t heir coats oil at one another a couple of times." One of the things charged against the live assailed members was that they were acting at the instigation of Dr. Luts:, whom the executive board branded as an emissary of the com pany or the Citizens' Alliance, hired to disrupt the union. The uccused members admitted that a man named Lutz, who, they under stood, was a doctor, waited on them and wante dto deal for them with the company. They told him he might do whatever he was capable of, but that was the extent of their negotiations with him. The charge that they were to be i nlils pay while thej- would bo engaged in settling the strike and the like o fthat was branded as utterly false. The connection of Lutz with tbe strike problem Is not explained. The Citizens' Alliance nnd General Mana ger Sllllmnn do not know him as an intermediary; In fact neither is at tempting any mediation o'f the strike. NEW COMMITTEE AVANTED. Several times at the meeting last night motions were offeted to have a new committee appointed to arrange with the companj for n return to work under the best terms that could bo se cured, but each time the motion was ruled out of order, amid much con fusion. Conservative members of tho union greatly deplore the internecine trouble. They sny that If the five assailed mem bers are expelled a hundred men will leave the hall with them and that if such a disruption comes, the strike will never be declared off.
