Oiie of tho men who handled It was
Thoinns Byron, of Mooslc street, now
approaching the end of bin fourth Hcote

was finishing an order of rails, theJtiRt
to be rolled, prior to the removal of the

and swung the rail Into the rolls with
a- vigor that bolokewd plenty of
strength loft In muscles he had hard
ened like Iron in the half a hundred
years he spent In the heavy work of a

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

DEATH FROM
SMALL-POX
GBAOE BBACE HAS SUCCUMBED
TO THE DISEASE.
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.
ItCMilicd, Tbi.t tiie Citlen-,' Alliance bay been
unable to get icpon-,es to its offcts of leward
for the placing of bojeott, for the iea-.on that
tip to the present date tho Central Lnbor union
has. deemed it inadvisable to leiy liojiotts on
account of the stiect lailway stiike.
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. Rcxoltc-d, 'Jh.it the Conti.il Labor union dc
claies that persons who pationlzc the street cais
are enemies to oiganlzed labor, and in so doing
aumc the lranonsibility of the loss of the
filendship and pationigc of the wage earncis of
this vallej".
llcsohed, That as a uv-ill of this hostility to
oiganizcd labor iu general, the C'cntial Labor
union declares tliat it Is ptoparcd to pick up the
gauntlet tin own down by tho Cillcns' Alliance,
and is determined to conduct this stlikc to a
sucoc-sful i.ue, or until such time as the ineni.
beiship of Division Xo. 10S, Amalgamated Asso
ciation of Street Haihvaj' Kniplojes, is reduced
to below- a working quoiuin.
llesolied, That this strike bis been piolongrd
by the encouragement and as,lstance giien the
Scranton Itailway companj- by the nntl-tradca
union alliance; and wc again appeal (o all fair
minded men and women to continue in their
loyal Mippoit fur light and justice, and to the
thill oicithlow- of the unrighteous attempt to
diag down tiades unionism, which lias con
tilbuted so much to the welfaie of the wage
earners of the cliillzed woild,

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.
