OUTLOOK IS FAVORABLE,
Health Authorities Are Becoming
More Hopeful That the Small
pox Will Not Spread.
As day by day passes without any
new cases of smallpox: being reported,
the health authorities breathe easier
and while they realize that the danger
is not yet past, they cannot help hut
admit that It Is becoming minimized
with every hour.
Superintendent Allen nnd Director of
Public Safety Wormser do not hesitate
to express their surprise at the fact
that the disease has not spread. The
former was firmly convinced when the
first cases were reported that the dis
ease would spread, despite the quaran
tine regulations which were immedi
ately put In force. He still fears that
there will be more cases, but hopes for
the best.
Cuptaln Burke and T. V. Lewis, the
two sanitary officers, are still engaged
In fumigating the houses of persons
whom they learned had been in the
Brace house while the disease existed
there. Reports from the latter place are
to the effect that Mr. Brace and Mrs.
Lewis, the two occupants of the house,
are apparently in the very best of
health and show none of the symptoms
of the disease.
Mr. Brace has told the ofllceis on
guard that he is convinced he will not
take the disease, and Mrs. Lewis feels
reasonably sure that she will not, be
cause of the fact that she was suc
cessfully vaccinated last year.
THREW DWYER TWICE.
McLeod Proves Himself a Regular
Little Hercules.
Dan S. McLeod, of Hamilton, Ont.,
won his wager of $100 and the big end
of the Scranton Bicycle club's purse
of $200 that he could throw Prof. M. J.
Dwyer, now of Waterbury, Conn.,
twice in an hour. He won the first
fall in twenty-nine minutes and twenty-five
seconds, and tho second in ten
minutes and twenty-six seconds.
It was a very interesting and excit
ing bout, and thoroughly satisfied the
two hundred and fifty.
McLeod is an Inch or so shorter In
statute than Dwyer, but anywhere
from ten to twenty pounds heavier.
He measures four feet minus an Inch-and-a-half
around the chest, his trunk
resembling a CO-gallon cask. Being
much bigger and stronger and quite
as quick and clever as Dwyer, the
latter was far outclassed. The dough
ty professor, however, put up a good
defensive game and won hearty ap
plause by his squirming out of tight
places. Each fall was gained by a
half-Nelson and crotch hold. Hugh J.
KeSnan was referee.

Paik Borough nnd His Party Is
Without a Candidate There Tho
Republicans Names All but One
of the Present Poor Directors.
Candidates of Both Parties for
Clty( and Ward Offices.
Certificates ot nominations from the
cities of Scrnnton and Cnrbondnle are
now all In. Yesterday was the list
day for filing them nnd any person who
now desires to get on the ballot for
tho coming election ns ft candidate,
must do so through the medium ot
ndmlnatlon papers. Jan. 28 Is the last
day for filing nomination papers. Both
Domocrnts and Republicans yesterday
filed nominations for poor director.
Tho Democrats have no candidate in
Hyde Park boiough. John Howell was
nominated, but requested that his
name be taken from the ticket.
In many wards the fighting will be
very vigorous. Numerous candidates
are in the field nnd In some Instances
there are several sets of candidates,
each claiming to be either the regular
Republican or Democratic nominees.
Steps must be taken to have the court
say who Is who or the commissions) s
will have to leave both of the rival
sets of candidates off the official bal
lot. There ate so many Citizens' and In
dependent party ticket )i the field In
the strong Democratic wards that P.
W. Costcllo has had himself nominated
as the Citizens' and Independent par
ty candidate for city controller,, that he
may not lose Democratic votes be
cause of the factional ward fights. The

any appropriation having been inndi;,
nnd several of tho other members of
the committee re-echoed his senti
ments. Some six months ago tho nssessors
appointed Daniel It. Wntklns as clerk
In their office, no salary having been
provided for such a place in the gen
eral appropriation ordinance for tho
present yenr. Mr. Wntklns has done
extensive work during that period and
Is at present engaged In compiling tho
assessment recently made.
In their estimate of their expenses
for the coming fiscal year the asses
sors ask for an appropriation of $-.25
to pay Clerk Wjitklnn for the time he
has already expended In their office
and nlso for an appropilatlon of $1,000
to pay his salary for the coming year.
When tho committee got along to a
consideration of tho assessors' estimate
Mr. Keller took the floor.
"Let's make short woik of these
two Items," said he, "and cut them
out altogether. The assessois did en
tirely wrong In appointing a clerk
wlien tliere was no appropriation and
they know that their action Is Inde
fensible. Any oniclrtl or officials who
would do what the assessors have done
In this particular instance should be
removed and if I had tho power I'd
do It. These men got a raise of $300
In their salaries a year ago and with
all the leisure tiijie they have they
can well afford to do their own clerk
ing." CAN DO IT THEMSELVES.
Mr. demons spoke along similar
lines, expressing himself as feeling that
the assessors are very well able to do
Mr. Wntklns' work themselves. The
motion to strike out both items was
passed unanimously.
The item of $600 for the salary of the
clerk of the common council was
stricken out, after a long argument.
Messrs, Keller, demons and Oliver con
tended that the office is absolutely un
necessary and that the work done by
the clerk could bo just as well done by
the assistant city clerk. The disad
vantage of having the common council
papers In an office separate fiom other
city records nnd the fact that the clerk
of the common council never has any
regular hours then he can be found
and his assistance procured, were dwelt
upon.
Common Councilman Joseph F. Evans
argued against the striking out of the
Item, contending that the clerk of the
common council is tin indlspenslhle offi
cial. When the estimate of the city clerk's
department was leached, Mr. Schroeder
moved that the salary of City Clerk
Lavelle be increased from $1,500 to $2,000
per year. Mr. Lavelle, he declared, is
the most invaluable official In the city
hall and It was about time councils re
warded his long and faithful career by
increasing his salary. Not a word of
objection was heard, and the motion
was passed unanimously, every mem
ber present seeming to find genuine
pleasure In voting to do a good turn
for "Martin," as he is familiarly known.
The item of $2,500, asked by the city
treasurer, was reduced to $1,500, which
Is $300 more than was appropriated for
this purpose for the present fiscal year.
Tho increase of $300 asked for the as
sistant city solicitor's salary was cut
off, and the Item of $720, for a stenogra
pher for the law department, was re
duced to $G00.
SALARY OF RECORDER'S CLERK.
Tho old question of the salary of the
recorder's secretary was brought up
again, Mr. Oliver moving that it be re
duced from $1,500 to $1,200, but he
couldn't find anybody present to second
his motion.
The total estimated icvenues for the
coming fiscal year, according to Con
troller Howell's figures, will be $443,
334.03, while the estimated expenditures
amount to about $21,000 more, which
means that the committee will have to
chop off that amount. Only $2,G0O wus
cut out Inst night.
On motion of Mr. Clemons It wns de
cided to have Chnirman Wasner ap
point a sub-committee of five to pie-
pare a plan whereby $21,000 can be cut
out and report It back to the next meet
lig of the committee, to be held on
Tuesday night.
