toms Team,

The pets were defeated yesterday af-
ternoon OH Duffy's field by the central
city team OF Scranton in go decisive a
manner that removed any doubt that
might exist In the minds of the crank
relative to the merits of both teams. II
was an overwhelming defeat and the
best team won. The Crescents for sew
EN- innings played great game, but
at that point of the contest they weak
ened and the Scranton boys bore them
to the earth. McAndrew had, until the
fatal seventh inning, the Scranton team
completely at his mercy, but when they
began to get on to his curves they cer-
tainly made the most Of their time and
energy, and before they had ceased in
their efforts, seventeen runs were
marked to their account. Fox was an
enigma to the pets and all they could
realize from his shoots was four runs
The score was as follows:

PATIENT DANGEROUS

The Other Patient, His Brother, Is
Getting Well-Councils Will Take

Effective Action This Week-No
New Gases.
The development since Saturday in
the smallpox situation in this city
affects Thomas Thompson, the second
of the two patients in the stricken
family. The disease has firm hold
on him and his condition now Is so
dangerous that the opinion Is he will
have hard time to rally through the
siege. He is the younger of the two,
about Is years of age.
The indications in the ease of the first
patient are exceedingly favorable. He
has reached the stage where the erup-
tons are healing and beginning to
scale. His recovery seems assured.
In the case OF the other brother,
though the same faithful treatment has
been followed, the attack Is more viru-
lent and the progress more rapid.
There is scarcely a portion of his body
that is not disfigured by an eruption.
The physician in charge is doing every
thing within his power and means to
to carry the sufferer through. None of
the other two members of the family
has shown the least symptom of the
disease, and are in good spirits under
the circumstances.
Councils will meet some night this
week to adopt means of dealing with
the situation. There is no alarm
over the two cases that exist, but the
experience of nearby towns demand
that every precaution be taken. A
joint meeting of councils will be called
by Mayor O'Neil. who will probably
make certain recommendations
Among the things to be considered
will be fixing the remuneration of the
physician who will be authorized to
care for such cases: No action in this
respect has been taken as yet. The
physician who is looking after the
Thompsons is doing 50 only from a
sense of duty.
With respect to his charge of them,

caution and safeguard have been EN-

using the most effective of modern an

chances whatever.
