SMALL-POX SITUATION.
Health Authorities Consider Danger
to Be Lessened.
Superintendent Allen, of the bureau

The director accordingly Issued an
order raising the quarantine placed on
such halls, with the exception of Hears'

1ho recent presence' of smallpox in the
building in which It Is located, As men
tioned before, free vaccination will be
continued today In the schools which
were opened last week In the central
city, North Scninlon and South Scran
ton. Dr. AV, A. Pal np, the smallpox physi
cian, stated yesterday to a Tribune niun
that the danger of a spread of the dis
ease has been greatly lessened. Unless
the disease crops out among some of
the person's with whom VInol, the cen
tral city patient, came In contact, the
chances are that the dniiKer will be
over, ho said,

appointed on tho police force by For
mer Mayor Powcrly. lie served as
patrolman until ISStf and made a splen
did record for himself as a bold and
fearless man. He Was athletic and was
n boxer of no mean account In his ear
ly days, so that though small in stat
ure, ho could handle tho most quarrel
some men,
He started In the hotel business after
he left the police force and prospered
remarkably, his wealth nt the time ot
his death being variously estimated at
between $30,000 and $100,000. He wns a
Democrat In politics and served us se
lect councilman from the Sixth ward
for two terms. He wasn't much ot an
orator In councils but when occasion
demanded he would say his say In n
very few words which went straight to
the meat of the question under consid
eration. He was elected school controller from
the Sixth ward two years ago but his
health has been falling of recent yonr3
and when he attended nils' of tho meet
ings ho was obliged to come In a cob.
Mr. rtoldcu Is survived by a wife and

for tonight at 7.30 o'clock to take action
on Mr. Oolden's death.
GIBBONS ENDORSED.
"The Old War Horse" Chosen as Dem
ocratic Candidate for President
of the School Board.
Nine of the Democratic members of
the school board met last night in the
municipal building and unanimously
endorsed John Gibbons, Eugene D. Fel
lows and David J. Reedy for president,
secretary and solicitor, respectively.
Positive assurances have been received
from the other two Democratic mem
bers of the board that thev will abide
by tho result of last night's caucus.
No opposition whatever developed to
Mr. Gibbons at the caucus. Controller
Dennis J. Roche, who had announced
himself as a candidate for the presi
dency or the board, withdrew in favor
of Mr. Gibbons. Not even tho whisper
of an opposition to either Mr. Fellows
or Mr. Reedy developed.
It was stated that while no Republi
cans attended last night's meeting,
there wore several who would vote for
Mr. Gibbons and Mr. Reedy next Tues
day night. These are understood to be
Messrs. Scluiefer and Barker, who voted
for Mr. Gibbons last year.
It was a noticeable fact among those
who attended the caucus and who
pledged themselves to vote for Mr. Gib
bons were Dr. John O'Malley and A. L.
Francois, botli of whom voted for Jayne
last year. Those present at the meet
ing last night were as follows: A. L.
Francois, John Gibbons. Dr. John
O'Malley, Peter J. Reir, Otto Robinson,
T. J. Jennings, Anthony Walsh, H. J.

members not present, but who sent
written pledges of support to Messrs.
Gibbons, Fellows and Reedy, were II.
J. O'Malley, of the Third ward, nnd P.
J. Langan, of the Eighteenth ward.
The members In attendance seemed
.confident that the Republicans will put
up no candidate for either the chair
manship or sollcitorship, realizing that
Messrs. Gibbons and Reedy have al
ready the pledged support of a major
ity of the members and the probable
support of several others.
The board will meet for reorganiza
tion next Tuesday nlslit at S o'clock.

OLD FORGERS
SORRY FLIGHT
WHOLE MALE POPULACE LIA
BLE TO ARREST.
Every One of All the Nino Voters of
Old Forgo Township Make Them
selves Amenable to the Law by
Their Conduct of Last Tuesday's
Municipal Election The Affair,
However, Is to Bo Kept Quiet and
Possibly Nothing Serious Will
Come of It.
If there ever was a case deserving of
real sympathy, that case Is this case.
May 2, 189!), tho Lackawanna court,
till thoughtless or regardless ot conse
quences, carved Old Forge borough out
of Old Forge township,
AVhon the carving process was com
pleted, Old Forge township consisted ot
411 acres of farm land ami forty-four
acres of culm dumps, and the popula
tion remaining accredited to tho
municipality was not such as kept the
census enumerators up nights.
All -told, tho noses numbered thirty
six, and out of these thirty-six nine
only were eligible to vote nnd hold
offlce.
At first the paucity of population
Caused no concern.
The good people of the little humlet
didn't bother their bends much about
things other thnn farming, but, In an
evil moment, the fell desire to hold
office came upon some of the male In
habitants and there their troubles be
gan. They didn't need any government, as
hnd been proven by more than a year's
experience, but those for whom the
glamor of office held an Irresistible
charm argued that it was a sacred
duty to form and conduct a municipal
government, nnd a government was
formed and conducted.
WHAT THEY DID.
None of the nine citizens knew much
about the laws governing townships,
and not having tho time to look Into
the matter they just went ahead In an
Informal way and filled up such ot the
offices as they could remember belonged
to them, until each of the nine voters
had about all the duties of state ho felt
ho could comfortably bear up under.
Winter came, there was nothing to do
except chores nnd, as usual, mischief
was begot of tho idleness.
SiiDervlsor-School Controller-Collec-tor-Justico-of-tbe-Peaco
- Inspector-of -Election
John AVeissenfluh got a law
book dealing with townships and pro
ceeded to map out a schedule of tho
offices the municipality was regularly
entitled to.
President - of - the - Board-of-IIealth-School
Controller-Township Treasurer
Henry Sciiultheis railed a town meet
ing at his house, and the various offices
were parcelled out, with the under
standing that on the succeeding elec
tion day last Tuesday the apportion
ments would be duly ratified by ballot
In such offices as were elective.
Andrew Naegli, jr., was selected for
school controller, member of the board
of health, township clerk and superin
tendent ot schools.
Andrew AVelsenfluh wns named Tor
school controller, constable and chair
man of the board of health.
Henry Naegli and Michael AVeisen
fluli were named as auditors and school
board members. Naegli was picked out
for a member of the board of health.
Henry Harlos asked to be lot off with
tho one office of judge of election, but
his townsmen Insisted that he was
bounden to take as many ofllces as the
next, and so lie went on the list for the
board of health and school board.
John AVelsenfluh, jr., and Andrew
Naegli, sr., were picked upon .for in
spectors of election and school board
members. AVelsenfluh was further hon
ored with the health officer plum.
Henry Schultheis, who, with John
AVelsenfluh, had been sharing most of
the offices that were filled Informally
before the law book wormed its way
into their midst, was called upon to
further accept the office ot assessor.
Benjamin Naegli and Hurry Reltz,
tho other two ninths of the populace,
were used for filling In the board of
control and board of health.
CONDUCTED AN ELECTION.
Tuesday the voters assembled at Mr.
Scliullhels' home and proceeded to con
duct an election.
Being extremely honest, conscientious
Swltzers, the ticket they had agreed
upon was unanimously elected and the
returns duly forwarded to Clerk of the
Courts Daniels.
It was when tho messenger bearing
the returns readied the clerk's offlce
that woe began to come to the citizens
of Old Forge township,
Some Inquiries us to how they could
conduct nn election for a big- raft of
offices with only nine voters to make
up the candidates and the election
board, disclosed to tho man from tho
diminutive, township that lie and live
of his fellow citizens had been guilty
of the severely punishable offense of
serving on an election board while n
candidate for office,
The messenger protested that he did
not know It was n crime, and that at
all events they could not do otherwise
than commit crime for If they excluded
the five members of tho election board
froln the list of municipal office hold
ers the other four would have to com
mit the almost equally If not more

The messenger went back with word
of the muss they had nil gotten Into
and tho town In consequence Is not
sleeping the sweet, sound sleep ot the
Just, that It was wont to tteop,
Now they are sorry they ever suc
cumbed to the blandishment of holding
office.
MID-WINTER CIRCUS.
Fair-sized Attendance Despite the
Awful Weather.
Those who trudged out to the armory
last night Will agree that the circus
was very much mid-winter. It It came
up to expectations In every feature as
much as It did In its novel feature It
was surely no disappointment.
Despite the awful weather there were
about a thousand In attendance, and
notwithstanding the paucity of patrons
the entire performance was given,
The Japanese troupe of arrobats, ns
on the previous night, came In for tho
greatest share of applause. They are
a whole show In themselves and well
worth anybody's time and money.
Others who were especially commend
able In their work are the Todd-Judge
family, the St. liclmoM, Miss Blanche
Sloan, A sco to it Eddy, Ellis & Nowlan,
Delto & Devello and Billy Dovoo In
varied acrobatic feats. The trained an
imal, feature of the show Is also of a
high order of merit.
There nre, in all, twenty-two different
acts, eaeli of them tho best ot Its kind
obtainable. It Is finite up to the stand
ard of the best of circuses.
This afternoon nt 2.ir there will be a
matinee. Tho concluding performance
will bo given tonight.
DESERTED WIFE'S STORY
Mrs. Nealon's Husband Wanted Her
to Run House on $10 a Month.
Aid Given by Poor Board.
A wife, whose husband expected her
to keep house and support two chil
dren on $10 a month and who loft her
when she told him she couldn't do it,
appeared before the poor board yes
terday in the person of Mrs. Michael
Nealon, of 133S South Washington ave
nue. Her husband, she said, worked for
Gorman, the liveryman, and earned $10
or more a month. He gave her some
times $S and sometimes $10 of this,
keeping the rest for himself. AVhen
she complained that the amount was
too small, he threatened to leave her
and kept cutting down her allowance
until about live months ago when ho
deserted her altogether. AA'hen her baby
was born about two months ago ho
gave her ?." but has not provided for
her since.
Her household effects were sold out
about a month ago by a constable and
she has since been living with her fath
er, who is sixty-live years old and un
able to provide for her any longer. Tho
members of tho board thought the case
an especially worthy one, and referred
it to Director Fuller.
Thomas Devlne and his wife, an aged
couple, 70 and 0.1 years old respectively,
were admitted to the Hillside Home.
Mrs. Peter Molter, or 92S Beech street,
who has been receiving relief from the
board for a number of months past, ap
peared to have it reviewed. She told
a pathetic hard-luck story about n sick
husband and four small children.
"I think we had better drop this
case," said Director Dickert. "The
money that this woman has received
from the board has been largely spent
in rushing; tho growler and the tax
payers In the neighborhood object to
having their money go in tills way."
The case was dismissed as was also
the case of Mrs. Lizzie Dlinler, of CW!
Pittston avenue, who has two children
aged 10 and IS years earning $10 a
month each. Director Fuller was chos
en lo act as chairman of the board un

TO PENSION
ITS EMPLOYES
PLAN ADOPTED BY THE D., L. &
W. COMPANY,
It does Into Effect March 1 and
Provides That Any Man Who Has
Worked for the Company for
Twenty-flvo Years In Any Capacity
and Secures nn Honorable Retire
ment Is Entitled ''to an Annuity.
Officers Who Are In Charge of the
Pension Fund.
Further evidence ot tho progressive
policy which has made the Lackawanna
railroad so conspicuous among our
lending railways Is found In tho an
nouncement made yesterday by Its
management that a pension system for
tho benefit of employes who have faith
fully served tho company would bo
placed In effect March 1. ""'hie adoption
of a pension department has been
favored by President TruosdnlO almost
from his Identification with that com
pany In 1S09, and the plan which ban
just been adopted by the board ot man
agers of tho Lackawanna has been the
subject of a careful and prolonged ex
amination and study on his part, with
it view to Incorporating therein the best
features ot those methods which havo
been In effect with other larrxc corpor
ations, together with such prdvlslons its
were necessary to meet the conditions
applying- particularly to the Lacka
wanna railroad.
Under this system any employe en
gaged for twenty-five years In any
capacity In the operation vof tho rail
road proper, who has faithfully per
formed his duties, Is to be retired nt 03
years of ago, and receive, after ills hon
orable retirement, a monthly allowance
dependent In amount lipon his pay and
length of service.
AMOUNT FOR THIS YEAH.
The fund from which such payments
will bo made will be regularly appro
priated each year by the company, em
ployes not being required at any time
lo pay anything cither for the support
of the pension system or to add to the
fund from which benefits will be made.
To meet pension claims during the re
mainder of tho year 1002, an appropria
tion of $30,000 has beoii' made, an
amount as largo In proportion to the
number of employes 11s has been set
aside by any other large corporation
which has established the pension sys
tem, Any employe actively engaged for
twenty-five years in the railroad de
partment of tho Lackawanna railroad
comes within the operation of the pen
sion system, and his time of service will
be computed from the time he began
work upon the Lackawanna railroad
proper or upon any of Its branches. Tho
amount of pension will depend upon
two conditions, the number of years
tlie person has served the company,
and the amount of his average regular
monthly pay for the ten' years next
preceding his retirement.
If, for Instance, tho average monthly
pay for the ten years preceding retire
ment has equalled $60 per month, and
the employe has been in the company.'a
service thirty years, his pension will bo
$1S per month, an amount equal to one
per cent, per year, for thirty years, of
an average monthly salary of $G0. Tho
pension board also has power in case
u faithful employe has received injuries
which totally Incapacitate him from his
regular or other avocations, to consider
his case, award a pension, if it Is con
sidered merited, and fix the time dur
ing which such pension shall be paid.
THE RETIREMENTS.
Retirements under the pension fund
will bo voluntary and involuntary; that
Is, all employes 03 years of age and over
will be considered as having attained
the maximum age limit for active ser
vice, and will be retired and placed
upon the pension fund roll, provided
they have been twenty-five years or
more in the company's service, while
those whose ages range from sixty to
sixty-four years inclusive, and who In
the opinion of the pension board have
become physically disqualified or other
wise permanently incapacitated after
twenty-five or more years of service
may be either voluntarily or by decis
ion ot the board retired and pensioned.
In computing service, It will be reck
oned from the date since which the em
ploye has been continuously in service,
except leave of absence, suspension, or
dismissal, followed by reinstatement
within one year, or temporary lay-off
on account of reduction of force when
unattended by other employment will

Hot be considered as it break In con
tinuity of service, Persons who leave
tho service thereby relinquish all olnltn
lo tho benefit of the pension allowed.
"This pension system hint been adopt
ed by the Lucluiwaiiuil railroad," said
0110 of the officials who Was active In
arranging tlm details of tho plan, "In
the Interests both of tho men and the
service. The company's benefits con
sist for most part In the added effici
ency of service naturally consequent
Upon the employment ot younger and
more active men In tho stead ot those
whose nge has rendered their retire
ment beneficial, both to themselves and
the service, also In establishing more
fully tho spirit ot co-operation nnd of
mutual Interest of employer and em
ploye, thereby contributing to unity of
effort and uniformity of action which
Is essential to tho successful manage
ment and conduct of a great railway
company.
PURPOSE OF IT.
"From the standpoint of tho men, it
Is primarily Intended ns giving assur
ance to faithful employes that, utter a
certain period of service, nnd when they
nr
o attaining nn age where they are no((
well adapted for tho performance ot
so well adapted for tho per
their work, they shall have provision
for their future support. Nothing Is so
satisfactory to tho average employe iih
to feel, especially now, that the de
mands for superior quality of service
are constantly Increasing, Hint after
spending his active life In the railroad
service, and by reason of ago or other
disability he Is unable to measure up
as fully as formerly to tho requirements
of his work, he has the assurance that
his employer has made 11 generous nnd
