SMALLPOX AT THROOP. Another New Case Reported from Up tho Valley. Another new case of smallpox was reported yesterday to Dr. AV, A Paine, who Is. noting as supervisor for the state board ot health.

STAY OF EXECUTION WAS NOT ALLOWED Matter of Note Glvon by Charles Kel- lar to Street Car Union Brought to Attention of Court. An effort was made yesterday lo get the court to stay the execution Issued against Charles Kellar by tho Street Car Men's union, but It was not suc cessful. It will be remembered that Kellar was a member of the street car union and went on strike with his fellow-members In October last. Some time later ho applied to the executive committee In charge of the strike for financial assistance, and was given $10 and compelled to sign a "cut-throat" judgment nolo for tho amount. Some weeks ago he returned to work, and was expelled from the union. Last week tho olllcers of the' union had an execution Issued against Kellar on tho note, and the sale Is advertised for next Friday. In court yesterday morning Major Everett AVarren, as the .attorney for Kellar, asked for a. rule' to open the judgment and stay the execution. The motion was supported by an affidavit from Kellar setting forth that the treasurer of Division 16S, Amalgamated Association of Street Car Men's union, is not si person who has a legal exist ence and therefore has no standing in court; that he, Kellar, does not owe any money to him. ns he never bor rowed any. He further alleges that ho was fraudulently Induced to sign the judsment note. In his affidavit Kellar says that the union kept a fund to be distributed free among its members In case of need. He had need of J10 and applied to George Kagler, si cretary ot the union, for it. Kaglor sent, him to Thomas Edwards, the ii"!-pircsldent. The latter let htm have the money. Edwards handed Kel lar a paper to sign. He said It was a receipt for the money, which the ex ecutive committee was to .keep as an evidence of where the money went to. Kellar soj-9 be did not. ask the money .ft a loan and was not aware thut it was a judgment note that be had signed. The representation of Edwards to the effect that It was only a re ceipt Is what is alleged to constitute tho 'fraud. After a consultation between Judges Kdwards, Kelly and Newcomb, Judge Kelly announced that the court had de cided to refuse tho motion to open the judgment and stay the execution on the ground that the allegations of fraud were too Indefinite. Major AVarren asked for an exception to this ruling, and it was allowed. Further action in the case will bo taken by Major AVarren before Friday. The union Is represented by Attorney C. Halentlue.

Cases of Owen McGovern Against the Lackawanna Iron and Steel Compnny, H. W. Loftus Against Mrs. Michael Hand nnd Ellen Tay lor Against the City of Scranton Aro on Trial Juror Can Bo Ghn.1 lenged for Cause by His Employer. Judge Aosbuig's Opinion. The third and final week's session ot tho January term ot common pleas opened yesterday with Judge Kelly presiding In tho main court room; Judge Newcomb In No. 2, and Presi dent Judge John Lynch, of Lussernc In No. 3. Tho case of Owen McGovern against the Lackawanna Iron and Steel com pany Is being tried before Judge New comb. The plaintiff seeks to recover for Injuries which ho sustiilncd by rea son of having fallen Into one ot tho utipalos at the South steel mill on the evening of January 22, 1899. At that time ho wns about thirteen years of age nnd was employed as a water boy. He testified that ho wont to work at 0 o'clock of tho evening in question, and continued until about 7,30 when tho electric light went nut and he was sent by lite fireman to re port this fact to tho electrician who stated that he would repair It at once. The plaintiff then went back to the charging floor and sal down at one side ot tho mill with his father, who was employed as a charger. Dy reason of the cold ho and his father started to go over to the side of one of the cupalos, .'blch was In blast, when the plaintiff stumbled over a piece of Iron between No. 1 and No. 2 cupolas and fell head foremost Into cupola No. 2 and his father, who en deavored to catch him, also fell. The cupola was about fifty feet deep and was not in blast. Tho plaintiff broke his arm and suffered Internal Injuries, which laid him up for several months, and by his declaration claims damages In tho sum of $20,000. He Is represented by Attorneys Burns and O'Brien and Martin, while Major AVarren and AV. If. Jessup,' Jr., appear for the defendant. The father died from the injuries ho received at that time and in the case instituted by tho widow a non-suit was allowed by Judge Carpenter, on the ground that plaintiff was guilty of con tributory negligence, at the last Sep tember term. PRECEDENT ESTABLISHED. Ono of tho jurors called was Martin Gaughan who was employed by the defendant, company as a fireman at the South mill at the time of the accident. He was challenged for cause by the de fendant and the challenge was resisted by the attorneys for the plaintiff who contended that the fact that Gaughan had been an employe of the defendant was not sufficient for the court to sus tain the challenge. It is a new point and the attorneys were unable to present any authori ties that would sustain their conten tions. Judge Newcomb decided that if tho plaintiff had made the challenge there would be no doubt as to his right to do so and ho believed that a rule that applied to the plaintiff ought also apply to the defendant. The case of II. AV. Loftus against Mrs. Bridget Hand is being heard in Judge Kelly's court. Mr. Loftus sues to recover $300 for services as a medi ator in bringing about a meeting be tween Mrs. Hand and tho blood rela tives of her deceased husband. Richard McIIugh, for the purpose of effecting a sale of her life Interest In the McIIugh property. According to Mr. Loftus, the meeting took place and Mrs. Hand agreed to sell her interest for $20,000, which was agreeable to the heirs. Later she re pudiated tho agreement, demanding $23,000, and when Mr. Loftus waited on her to secure the pay she promised him, she refused to honor his claim, alleg ing that inasmuch as the sale had not been effected ho was not. entitled to anything. Mr. Loftus avers that, his pay was contingent only on his bring ing about a meeting. James Mahon and A. A. Chase rep resent the plaintiff. T. P. Hobun and George S. Horn are attorneys for the defense. ELLEN TAYLOR CASE. Judge Lynch Is trying the case of Ellen Taylor against the City of Scran ton. Mrs. Taylor sues for damages al leged to have done her property, on Ninth street, by the narrowing of Ninth street and Jackson street, when Robin son street was widened In 1K9C, The viewers allowed her $100. From this the city has appealed. The plalntllf Is represented by Attor ney E. W. Thayer. City Solicitor' George M. AVatsou and Assistant City Solicitor D. J. Duvla represent the defeiiFO. In tho case o John W. Williams against John P. and Ellen Mtidlgan, a verdict wus entered for tho defendant by agreement.
