SMALLPOX SITUATION. Authoiities Are Somewhat Alarmed nt Vfnol's Case Misadventure of Quarantine Officer Max Long. No new cases of smallpox were reported- to the buteau of health yester day but the health authorities are not as confident as they were u week ago that the spread of the disease has been checked. This Is due to the case of Edward Vinol, leader of tho orchestra at the Star theatre, who is suffering from a mild attack of tho disease at his home hi Forest court. This Is the first case which clould not bo directly traced to the Brace household in which the dis ease first made its appearance In this cty. All the West Scranton sufferers from the disease contracted It by visiting the Brace home, with tho exception of Mrs. AV. J. Morgans, who was quar antined in tho house with her husband who Is suffering from a severe attack of smallpox und who contracted It while nursing him. This fact led the health authorities to be very sanguine over the outlook, believing that the disease could be kept confined to the homes of those persons who visited the Brace house. The case of Vinol changes the situa tion. Just how ho contracted the dis ease is a mystery but that he has It and that a great many people were exposed to the danger of contagion he cause of his presence at his dally work are assured facts. It will be twelve or fourteen days before it can be definitely known whether any cases of the disease de velop from contact with Vinol and un til this period' Is over it will be im possible to predict what the final out come will be. When the quarantine officer who goes on duty at 7 o'clock In tho morning came to relieve Mux Long, the night man at the Vinol home yesterday, he found the house unguarded. He searched' in the neighborhood for I.ong but being unable to locate him, re potted the matter to police headquar ters. Long turned up eaily in the after noon with a badly battered up face, one of his eyes being nearly olofled. Theie was also u nasty gash under his chin. He said that somebody or something had struck him while on duty yester day morning shortly after U o'clock. He semed dazed and when closely ques tion was unable to give a satisfactory account of the alleged assault or acci dent. Neither did he offer any ex panatlon as to why ho had gone home after he tecovered his senses. Inquiry revealed the fact that Long is an epileptic and it Is believed that ho was stricken with an attack while on duty and Injured himself by fulling on his face. He was relieved from fur ther duty by Superintendent of Po lice Day. The annex of St. Cecelia's academy, which Is directly in the rear of the Vinol home, was closed yesterday as a matter of precaution, and the one hundred and fifty pupils who have been attending It were transferred to St. Thomas college, where classes were taught on the third floor. Tho classes In the main academy building were continued as usual. The boarding pu pils were sent to St. Rose's convent In Carbondale on Sunday and will remain there for the present. ALMOST A BLIZZARD. Only Needed a Lower Temperature to Moke It One Trolley and Steam Roads Blockaded. AVliat possessed all the elements of a blizzard, except extreme cold, prevailed yesterday all over tho territory north of Tennessee, south of tho Great Lakes and cast of the Mississippi. It origin ated in Georgia, swept down to tho Bermudas and then making a turn, skipped over the ocean until It not abreast of New Jersey, when It turned landward, spread Itself out and swept over tho cast and as far as the Mis sissippi, It was jubt cold euouuh In the tenl tory uffected to bring the moisture down In the form of a mealy snow. Tho nccompanylng wind gathered this up as iafct as It fell and whirled It about In uneven drifts. Now York Insisted it was having n blizzard, The tempera ture, however, was never below 18, Hete and hereabouts the wind was the most annoying feature of tho storm. The lowest tho thermometer went was 22, which was at S o'clock p. in., and at 1 o'clock this morning It was only 23. Tho storm set In before daybreak and was still prevailing ut " o'clock this morulas'. Four Inches of snow had fallen up to 8 o'clock p, m., and by midnight another inch had been tilled on ton of that. Most of the snow fell during yester day morning, nnd as a consequence travel was greatly Impeded. No. trolley earn were run on the Duryea, Plttston or Throop lines, nnd on tho Laurel Hill line the roud was closed most of tho day beyond Qulncy avenue. Curs were run very Irregularly on such lines as were open, and on the Carboudnle line the single car that was in operation lust flight was stalled at Dickson City. The steam roads were nlso caused considerable trouble by tho drifting snow., The Lackawanna had four snow plows' working und managed to keep their trains within nn hour of sched uled time, The Delaware und Hudson locul trains were not delayed to any greut extent, but tho Saratoga, which arrives from Nineveh at 10.33 p. m., did not reach here until 1,10 a, in. Nearly two hours'of this delay was caused by u wait for the Albany train. WERE NAMED MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TRADE YESTERDAY. President Dickson Announced Make up of Committees for Coming Year.

"' Secretary Atherton announced, In lieu of a report from tho manufactures com mittee, that he Is In communication with the proprietors of a, plant for the manufacture of ball-bearings, located In Auburn, N. Y,, and that there Is a strong probability of their being in duced to come to Scranton. The plant employs one hundred men. A communication was read, addressed to A. 11. Wnrmnn by the oiricers of Sam Sloan division, No. 27G, Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, requesting him to use his Influence dn securing the as sistance of the board of trade In the movement on foot to bring the 1904 con vention of the brotherhood to this city. It was stated In the communication that the convention would bring over COO engineers here from all parts of the country, as well ns something like 330 ladles, representing the auxiliary or ganization. It was pointed out that the conven tions of the brotherhood differ from other conventions in thnt the delegates remain In session for u solid month, Instead of for only a few days. A spe cial committee, comprising A. B. AVnr man, F. L. AVorniser nnd S. E, AA'ey land, was appointed tp give assistance to the brotherhood committee in their efforts to secure the convention. FIGHT TO REDUCE RATES. A communication was read from the AYest Side board of trade, requesting tho co-oprration of the central body in u light to secure a reduction In the water rates. Mr. Atherton first 'moved thnt the board's attorney be authorized to act with tho AA'est Side board's at torneys in the matter, but it was finally decided to refer the matter to commit tee for careful consideration. Some little discussion was created by an endeavor to secure the passage of a resolution providing for the posting of members who may be in arrears for their dues. It was Anally decided to lay the whole question over, it being generally agreed that the posting ot members would not make a very de sirable impression on visitors to" the rooms. The discussion qn this question brought out the statement from Sec retary Atherton that tho paid-up mem bership of the hoard is now 10.1, which is the best and cleanest record ever before reported. Tho resignation of J. George Huf nagle, of Dickson City, was accccpted, and the applications for membership ot V. L. Phillips and F. H. Gerlock weie received. The following teport of the recent meeting of the national board of trade was read by Colonel F. L." Hitchcock, who represented the local board with J. A. Lnnslng: DELEGATES' REPORT.

It would be hard to devise a more disagreeable day for the close of a cam paign than was yesterday. Tho men who had work to do In connection with today's battle labored under great diffi culties. From both sides of tho political fence the snow was looked upon with scant favor, for it mean that the vote today will bo smaller than if the snow had postponed Its visit until AVednesday. The indications are that the vote will not bo heavy, but that it will be quite up to the mark set last fall. Chairman Chittenden, of tho Repub lican city committee, was very confi dent of the outcome of today's voting, when seen by a Tribune man last even ing. "This snow will probably make the general vote a little lighter than it otherwise Would be." he said, "mil I am coniident that we are going to win tomorrow and that when tho votes are counted it will be found that Evan R. Morris is elected controller by not less than SOO majoilty. As I view It, that is it very conservative estimate, and Is based upon a careful and conservative consideration of the situation in each of the twenty-one wards of the city. "I wish the votets of Scranton could bo thoroughly aroused to the Import ance of this election'to them. There Is no man who Is closer to the taxpayers than the controller. He is THE man, and If he understands his business and Is honest the city can't go far wrong in any direction. It's a very vital ofllce and the man who fills it ought to be one well equipped for the position. "The training Evan Morris has had for years In the city clerk's ofllce spe cially fits lilin for the controller's office. The duties of the two offices so dove tail into one another that a man who knows tho business of tho cltv clerk's office necessarily knows what, a cltv controller ought and ought nut to do. Besides his specla'l training for the ofllce, Mr. Morris Is a man of convic tion and opinions, who knows his own mind and has the courage to do tho honest and the right thing np,ainst all kinds of pressure. Ills unswerving honesty and courage have been fre quently demonstrated since he became assistant city clerk, and because of these special qualities he possesses I believe the people of Scranton will mnke a great mistake if he is not elect ed today." Chairman Schadt, of the Democratic city committee, wab also In a confident mood, when seen. "It's been a quiet campaign," he said, "and we have not done much shoutfng, but we are going to win tomorrow, and when the votes are all counted Costello will be 1,'JOO to the good." The Republican city committee will receive returns tonight In Republican headquarters. Chairman Chittenden re quests Republican poll workers to re port tho result to headquarters as soon, by either telephone, us the vote for con troller Is completed. STORIES DO NOT AGREE. Inquest lu the Case of Peter King, of Minbokn, Who Was Killed by Michael Davis. An Inquest In the enso of Peter King, of Mluooka, who was killed by Michael Davis, n police officer of Mooslb, In Sullivan's saloon, Mluooka, earlv Sun day morning, was conducted In tho grand jury joom of thu court house, by Coroner Sultry, last night. Four of the dozen or moiq eye-witnesses of tho tragedy, selected Indis criminately, were sworn. Three of them, Patrick Loftus, Patrick Sullivan and Thomas Sullivan, agreed that tho as sault was entirely unprovoked, Tho fourth, Gustave Dietrich, testified that King made three different attempts to assault Davis, and that ho was In tho act of attacking him when Davis drew his gun nnd llred, District Attorney Lewis nnd County Detective Phillips were present at tho hearing, and the district attorney ques tioned each witness bearohlngly. Steno graphic notes of tho testimony weio taken, nnd at tho conclusion of the In quest, tho witnesses who had not been called to testify were taken Into iho dish let attorney's olllce and examined, Tho jury contented itself with the fonuul verdict that the deceased had come to his death by pistol wounds In flicted by tho accused. The jurors were John J, Coyne, Frank Toole, Michael Gibbous, John St, John, P. S, Lowrey nnd Thomas F, Coyne, Coroner Sultry made a post-mortem examination of King's body yesterday. He declares that either one of the three wounds would neeessurlly -cause death. What caused thu almost instant deatli was tho severing of the aortu by the bullet which entered the center of the chest.

"As a medicine for doing Immediate and effective work In sickness, resulting from Impaired nerves and Impure blood my family considers you Palne's Celery Compound without a peer." "It strengthens and gives tone to the sys tem." "It has saved ninny it doctor's bill. , So writes J. J. Donuhuc. Chief of Polio of Omaha, to the proptletors ot this never-falling remedy. Palne's Celery Compound makes nerve fibre and nerve force, nnd hnpni'ts true health to body and brain. It Is the only known positive cure for nervous prostration, resulting from business responsibilities, Irregular habits und overwork, Palne's Celery Compound Is the one great remedy for dyspepsia and weak nerves. Dyspepsia Is caused by acuto inflammation of tho nerves centred about tho stomach. Palpitation of tho heart, dizziness, eardlllgla nnd disten tion of tho stomach are common In dys pepsia. Languor and Irresistible drowsiness are certain symptoms. Palne's Celery Compound keeps thu muscular walls ot the stomach In vig orous action until tho process of digestion Is made complete. It restores energy, gives renewed vigor tb all af fected parts, checks dizziness and al lays heartburn. It is a safe and reli able cure for nervous dyspepsia. Palne's Celery Compound 'will build up weakened and inflamed nerves, keep the stomach, liver and kidneys In healthy action, nnd make mind and body healthy. It Is the greatest reconstruotant of the nervous system known to medical science. It perma nently cures nervous exhaustion. It Is particularly efficacious In all cases where the afflicted are "worn out" and "run down." If you have tho first symptom of falling health, if you are conscious that something is wrong, that you lack strength, It the buoyant feeling of per fect health does not return after each night's sleep, it is time to give tho nerves and blood the food that Nature requires. Palne's Celery Comppund Is rightly called Nature's medicine. Medical science has failed to nro duce its equal as a nerve tonic and vltalizer. It purifies the blood, restores HE DOESN'T FEEL OLD. Celebrated His Eigthieth Birthday. Says He's More Spry Than His Middle-Aged Son. Adam Thompson, of '111 Adams ave nue, was "SO years young" yesterday, lo quote an expression used recently in the accounts of Dr. Culyer's birth day celebration In New York city, and the happy event was celebrated with a birthday dinner given nt the home of Mr. Thompson's daughter, Mrs. Franc T. Vail, of Sunset avenue. Upwards of twenty-live guests, all lelc.tives of Mr. Thompson, attended tho dinner and a most delightful time was enjoyed by all. Mr. Thompson himself entered into the festivities with as much zest and enthusiasm as tho smallest child present. It is questionable If there is an oc togenarian In the country as well preserved as Mr. Thompson. He asked a Ttibune man last night to stale fr.mkly how old he looked and the lat ter was obliged to say "not a day over fifty-five." Indeed there are many men fifty-five yeais old who look far more aged than does Mr. Thompson. There isn't n wrinkle on his face and his closely cropped beaid and spry cairlage make him appear almost young. "I don't feel old," said he, "and until 1 do I'm not going to admit that I am old, I'm just as spry as my son Is to day. He's fifty-three years old but he Isn't a bit more active than I am. I feel ns If I could do a hard day's work today just as much as I did forty years ago, but I don't need to. I worked ns hard as any man could work until I was over seventy and then I decided 'twas time to knock off and take a rent. I had enough and more saved up to live on and I'm spending tho last j cats of my life quietly. There's no te.is'on why I shouldn't live to be much older and If It's In the wood I'm going ID." Mr. Thompson was born In Newton township In 1S22 and came to this city forty-seven years ngo. He has lived In the central part of tho city ever t,mco and has won the highest esteem of hundreds by his untiring Industry nnd sterling honesty. He has two chil dren living, Georgo B, Thompson und Mii, Fume T. A'nlh Special Meeting. There will be n special meeting this evening of Branch 33, C. M, 13.
