IN THE DISTRICT COURT.

Witness Contradicted Himself on the
 Stand This Morning.
 Il the district court to-day the case of Olanoff x Fenn against Assaf Sha ker began. Attorney Kennedy rep resented the defendant and Russell the plaintiff. The amount involved orig inally was $9.S0. Now it is about $20 because of the costs of the district court. This does not include the fees of the attorneys. The plaintiffs claim they sold goods to the defend ant to the amount above stated Fenn, while on the stand this forenoon, had a warm. altercation with Attorney Kennedy. He had testified that Sha- ker had bought goods in his, the wit hess's, store. Then in answer to MT Kennedy he stated that he was always very careful about the truth Then if you are so very careful about tell ing the truth why do you say that this man (he defendant purchased goods of you ill your store?' asked Mir Kennedy
 Immediately the witness was up in arms.
 Il never said he purchased goods of me in the store,'' he yelled while per- spiration flowed down his face
 You said so moment ago" in sisted Mir Kennedy
 II never did," exclaimed the wit ness. T never said he purchased goods of me in the store''
 Sidn't you say q moment ago that he bought goods of you i'll the store ?''
 Yes" said the witness in a flood of precipitation.
 .Then why do you say now that he didn't. Did he or did he not pur- chase goods of you in the store?''
 T say he didn't,'' persisted the wit ness.
 Nobody could appear to understand the witness. Tn the same breath he l contradicted himself. Apparently the man was honest, and his statement was therefore the more singular. Nevertheless he stuck to it that the ! defendant did not purchase goods in his store. It finally developed that the witness did not know what ''pur- chase" meant and he deemed d mega tive the best answer to that question The case appeared good for two days trial.

Yesterday afternoon one or the ap- pointed medical inspectors discovered case in the Montambeault family at 33 Jewelry street and reported to Dr Frost. The patient is a boy. Dr Frost and Health Officer Kilmartin agreed that he had been suffering for some time from smallpox and ordered the house quarantined. The boy will be removed to the isolation hos- pital to-day.
 Ihe physicians appointed to conduct the medical inspection of the city held q meeting at noon to-day and voted to request people who have Knowledge of suspicious sickness in their neigh borhood to report to President Lawlor of the board of health. Arrangements have also been made with Postmaster Guernsey to have the letter carriers report any cases that might come to their notice. All information furnished regarding this matter will be strictly confidential. Now everybody has an opportunity to assist the authorities in locating the malady and if they fail to do it they will not be doing their duty to themselves or to the commun- ity. The medical inspection was begun yesterday and is being conducted ill U careful manner.
 Although a smallpox patient is be- ing discovered here and there still it is believed that the authorities are closing in on the malady and that i'll a short time it will be under control. The stricken family at 10 Walnut street will not be removed to the iso- lation hospital for the reason that of 4 ,1
 authorities thought it much better to
 care for them there than at the hos- pital. The building is quarantined. The several patients at the isolation
 hospital are reported as holding their own today, and no more deaths are
 anticipated.
 1 The work of vaccination is going OH in the factories and schools in very satisfactory manner and it is thought
 that after the present week most peo-
 pie about town will have submitted to the operation.
 Two men, one named Glynn and the other Flynn, were very sick at the
 Wayside Inn to-day. and the report got around that they had contracted the disease. This was q false alarm. The only thing the matter with them was that the vaccine virus was working to l perfection in their arms and they
 thought they needed physician ] There are q whole lot of people in all
 parts of the town who can appreciate
 the feelings of the the quarantined par
 ties who were vaccinated.
 Dr Mum and Professor Wilder. the | latter of Newark, N. J.. talked against vaccination before q meeting of the
 antis in Speedwell hall yesterday. Of
 course they demolished the theory.
 The antis and their champion feel
 sore because no one appears to be talk
 ing any stock in what they say.

PRISONERS REFUSED FOOD.
In the Hope that Government
 Would Order Their Release.

Said to Be Common Practice Among
 Political Prisoners-Th Arrests
 Were Made at Theater Because
 Some One Shouted Long Live
 Count Tolstoi.;'
 St Petersburg, March 6.-Several in cidents have latterly thrown doubt upon the wisdom of the government ln sending it's politically untrustworthy' elements to the rural districts. It would appear that the latter are mak- ing rapid progress ill assmilating the doctrines of the new residents. The following incident which occurred at Poltaya, and which is related on the basis of two separate private letters, is perhaps characteristic. Some sixty St Petersburg eXiles are living in Pol taya, q town of about 50.00O nhaDl- tanfs, ill the agricultural south. Pre- vious to their arrival it was regarded as q typical somnolent place, the popG- lation being mainly distinguished for illiteracy. During a representation i'll the local theater q few days ago some one rose in the balcony and shouted: Long live Count Tolstoi, the eXcom- municated." The cry was taken up Dy other persons in the balcony, the audi ence in the lower portion of the house showing sympathy by shouting Bravo" Soon other calls were heard, and the play came to q standstill. Tine police finally cleared the balcony and, the same evening, arrested all the ex- iles in their homes. There is no politi- cal prison at Poltaya and the persons arrested were lodged i'll a frail jail with common crimslals. They de- manded the reason of their arrest and an immediate hearing. but received no satisfaction. They thereupon deter mined to refuse food in order to force concessions. This is a common prac- tice on the part of political prisoners to whom a hearing or inquiry is re- fused. and it often makes an impress sion, as the government, naturally, tries to avoid making martyrs. On this occasion the prisoners appear to have found famine monotonous after thirty-six hours and began q riot. In this they were joined by the common criminals. The political prisoners bor- roWed red shirts from the criminals, and making flags of them, displayed these banners of revolt from the win dows. How the affair ended seemed uncertain. One account says all the criminals escaped.
 Carrying out the theater tactics, now generally employed, Odessa malcon- tents, a week ago, in the theater and opera house. shouted Down with ab- solutism." A number of the demon stra tors were arrested.

Postoffice Robber Captured After g
 Chase of $500 Miles.

Wichita, Kan, March 24.-One of the most remarkable illustrations of the re- lentlessness with which the United States government pursues the man who violates it's laws and fees from justice, is the long chase of George Irons, alleged to be the leader. of q gang of western postoffice robbers, by Inspector D. w. Peters of the Kansas City division of postoffice inspectors. After trailing his man from the Mis- sissippi to the Pacific coast, covering more than $500 miles ill the pursuit, and deyoting his entire time to it for thirteen months, Peters captured him and brought him back to Kansas, where he was wanted on the specific charge of robbing the postoffice at Saliva, February IS, 1901.
