ANOTHER SMALLPOX SCARE
Residents Of Jessup Are Worried
Very Much.
FEAR A CASE EXISTS THERE
DR.. Lee. of the State Board Of Health.
Discovered symptoms Among Polish
Immisrants-Some Of Them
Hound for Jessup.

Health Officer Mahedy, of winton
borough, received a communication a
few days ago from DR.. Lee, secretary
of the state board of health. impart-
ing the unwelcome news that among
a batch Of Polish immigrants that land
ed this week at the port of Philadel-
phia there are symptoms of a mild
form of smallpox. and that some of the
newcomers were en- route for Jessup.
DIR. Mahedy and DR.. Wilson. of that
place, paid visit of inspection to a
district called Hungarian Flats"
which Ia situated near the Delaware
and Hudson station in Peckville. and
they were Informed that a lately ar
rived Polander, domiciled on the second
floor of Andrea SnOmolick's hotel. was
Ill and had symptoms of smallpox.
They examined him and decided to put
a placard on the house; but the notice
was disregarded to the extent that the
hotel was open for business and there
was no diminution In the trade done at
the bar. The most Of his customers
are foreign and the notice was prob
ably as Ineligible to them as II 1t
were written in Volapuk.
President Burke, of the borough
council, is quoted as having stated that
as soon as 1t Is sure that the disease
from which this particular patient Is
suffering is small pox. official action will
be taken to have the house quaran-
tined. Meanwhile the doctors are un-
able to agree upon whether 1t Is the
dread disease or not.
PATIENT WAS REMOVED.
The man has since been removed
from Snomolick's hotel and Is now In
q thickly Inhabited part of,the FLATS
The residents of Jessup are consider
ably agitated concerning the matter
and much comment Is expressed be-
cause the man was not taken in charge
and cared for SO that the contagion will
not have a chance to spread.
The small oox case at Priceburg q
rev months ago Is a thing of the past
The patient Is better and the scare Is
over. But immediate steps were taken
there to prevent a possible spread of
the disease by not allowing any persons
to visit the house, or any Of the people
of the house to mingle with the people
outside.

Use OF KEROSENE OIL.

He said that kerosene oil was used

engine, as well as to clean grease spots

week before the fire Luce had spoken to

taking an inventory of the stock so
that he might know what material he
would have to order for busy winter

personal knowledge from being fami-
liar with the books and papers Of the
t Knitting company that there WE'RE
enough of orders on hand to keep the

Speaking about his incarceration In

narrowing recital of prison life and
diet. The convicts were forced to labor
at the stone crusher all day In the boil
ing sun and they are refreshed
at meal time with beautiful (?) soup.
BATEMAN SAW LUCE.
| When Keighron had finished his
graphic account of the routine of pris-
on life. the door of the room opened
and Bateman saw Luce In the next
room In charge Of a keeper. Keighron
said that Luce had made a statement
throwing all the blame on Bateman,
| and he advised Bateman to no longer
hold back what he knew about. It, but
tell the whole truth.-To this Bateman
! answered that IL an innocent man need

charge of crime against him. then, of
course, he having neither, would get

man said he used and not the one i'm
puted to him, which was that. Luce
has lots Of money and can get free, but
I'll get soaked"
The witness told Of the number of
girls employed at the factory. There

WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.-There is
such diversity of opinion among Re-
publican senators now in the city as to
the course to be pursued a the next ses-
sion with reference to the tariff that 1t
is considered quite probable a caucus
will be held very early in the session
to decide upon a line of action. The indi-
cations now are that the decision of the
caucus, when held, will be against TAX
ing up the Dingley bill.
Senator Chandler said today that he
thought congress should make provision
for short time loan at the coming ses-
sion. "The thing to do now is to provide
means for getting money until we can
put revenue legislation into effect.
There will have to be an extra session of
the Fifty-fifth congress, in my judS-
ment, and we shall then enact botn
revenue and financial legislation. | do
not see how we can accomplish anything
as to either of these questions at the
coming session.
OFFICIAL POSITIONS.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, Nov. 24-Con-
cernins the positions which Sherman
and Hanna will fill under the forthcom
ing national administration, gentle
man who is as much in the confidence
of Mckinley and Hanna as any one,
said today: 1T is decided that Sherman
shall resign and accept the secretary Of
state, and Hanna go in his place to the
senate. There are, however, obstacles
to this plan. Sherman is an old man, and
may not wish to relinquish the place in
which he is entirely contented to accept
the great responsibilities and hard work
of the secretaryship of state; again,
Governor Bushnell would have to ap-
point his successor, and every one knows
it is his ambition to be elected by the
next Ohio legislature, year from now,
to sit in the senate. Yet if he does not
want to appoint Hanna what can he
do? He cannot appoint himself. For
aker is already there, and GrosVenor is
an ardent Mckinley man. If President
elect Mckinley says to Sherman that
the prosperity of the country requires
his hand to be at the helm of the state
department | don't think he can refuse.
Then if Mckinley and Sherman say to
Bushnell that the services of Hanna in
the senate are necessary to carry out
the Republican party's promises of
a prosperous administration, how can hes
refuse? This much is sure. Sherman WI!
not resign until he is assured that the
plans will be carried out

JONES VIEWS.
Favors an Income Tax and Remonetiza-
ton of Silver.

WASHINGTON, Nov. Ex-senator
James X. Jones of Arkansas, chairman
of the Democratic national committee,
returned to the city today for the con-
gressional session. In his talk the
senator expressed the opinion that It
was not at all likely the Dingley revenue
passed by the house last session would
be favorably acted on in the senate.
He favors a tax on beer in place of any
general tariff revision, and says that by
making this additional tax of one dol
lar per barrel. about $4,000. 600 per year
revenue would be derived Sugar the
senator regards as necessity of life
and further taxation of it would work
against the interests of the people. The
same is true of other articles of con-
sumption of which a great deal is used
by the poor. The senator also declares
himself in favor of an income tax. so
the rich should be made to contribute
toward the burdens of the government
MIR. Jones declares that the battle for
free silver will be carried on until the
metal is restored to the place ii held De-
fore it was demonetized by the act of
1873. The leaders of the silver move
ment contemplate a gathering in the
near future. when a discussion will be
had as to the prospects. and steps taken
looking to a continuation of the fight.
From what the senator said it is prob
able that the Democrats will establish
permanent headquarters in this city
from which to keep up the campaign OF
