A REMARKABLE INCIDENT.
Rolled the First and Last Rail at the
Old Mill.

Fifty-four years ago the first rail was
rolled In the old rolling mill of the
Lackawanna Iron and Steel company.
One OF the men who handled IL was
Thomas Byron, of Mooslc street, now
approaching the end of his fourth score
OF years. Thursday last the company
was finishing an order of rails, the last
to be rolled, prior to the removal OF the
mill to Buffalo The fact that the man
who helped roll the first rail was still
alive and quite active, occurred to some
of the old officials and they sent for
him to come to the mill and assist in
the rolling of the last rail He came,
took off his coat, sei3ed TIE nippers.
and swung the rail into the rolls with
q vigor that betokened plenty OF
strength left in muscles he had hard
ened like iron in the half a hundred
years he spent in the heavy work of a
rolling mill.
The incident was witnessed by q
large crowd. many of whom had, like
Mr.. Byron. spent practically their whole
lives in the mill. TO them it was an
affecting scene
The tearing down of the mill began
Saturday. Every vestige of it will be
removed with all the other buildings on
the company's tract to make way for
the power station, shops and yards of
the new rapid transit company

FEEDING OF PRISONERS,
Testimony on the Cost Thereof Be.
ing Taken for the Court-Wit-
nesses Heard Saturday.

Dispositions We're taken Saturday
before Commissioner Willis d. Coston
in the matter of fixing the compensa-
tion of the sheriff for feeding prison.
erS.
The county commissioners had been
enormously assuming this duty, and
We're contemplating reduction. at the
suggestion of Controller Jones, when
Sheriff Schadt forestalled them by
showing through his attorneys, O'Brien
& Martin, that it was the court and
not the commissioners, who have the
authority to fix the compensation.
The sheriff is at present receiving
twenty-five cents a day for feeding
each prisoner and he contends that
this is not too much. The controller
holds that this figure is too high. The
court declined to pass upon the mat
| ter until it had some light, and ac-
cordingly appointed Mr.. Coston as COM
missioner to take the testimony each
side had to offer in support of its con-
| tention.
Sheriff Schadts side of the case was
heard Saturday. He had NJ. j. Healey
and Charles Senker to tell the price of
groceries; George w. Beemer, superin.
'cilueHL VI tne poor iutlll, TO give the
| cost of feeding inmates of Hillside
Home: r. G. Melvin, Peter Rosar and
Martin O'Connor, TO tell OF the cost of
different commodities purchased for
hotels, and ex-Sheriffs John j. Fahey
and Frank IL. Clemons to tell of the
expense of feeding prisoners during
their respective terms as sheriff.
Sheriff Schadt also went on the stand
and testified TO the bill of fare he
serves in the different seasons, the
| quality and quantity of provisions pur-
chased, and the expense OF preparing
| and serving meals.
The other side of the case is to be
heard next Saturday. O'Brien & Mar

| sioners are represented by County So

TO CONSIDER ESTIMATES.
Joint Councilmanic Committee Will
Meet Tomorrow Night

The joint estimates committee OF
councils will meet tomorrow night in
the select council room for the ptir-
pose of considering the estimates for
the fiscal year, beginning on April j..
The estimates OF the several heads OF
departments as trimmed down by Re-
lcorder Connell and his cabinet are be-
ing printed and Il copy will be ready
for each member tomorrow night.
The work OF the committee will be
greatly simplifled by reason of the
consideration which the estimates re-
ceived ut the hands of the cabinet.
The figures have been pared down TO
within a few hundred dollars of the
estimated evenness so that any
changes which the committee may de-
eide to make will consist in cutting
down certain items and adding the
amounts taken off to other items.
1t will be practically impossible to
pass the appropriation ordinance by
February T. the date on which the
Ripper bill says it must be passed
and it is believed that no very ener-
getic effort will be made to comply
with the law as regards this particu-
lar instance,

| Much to the surprise of the health
| authorities, there have been no new
| cases of smallpox reported during the
past two days. This fact, however, has
not caused the slightest relaxation in
the precautionary measures already
adopted
The only important development in
the situation yesterday was the death
of 6-year-old Grace Brace, daughter of
Mrs. w. j. Brace, who died last week
at her home on North Bromley avenue,
where G.. j. Lewis died of smallpox
the day before. The Brace child con-
tractcd the smallpox upwards of
twelve days ago and has been quaran-
tined in the Mears hall building, on
North Main avenue, since last Tues
day.
The little girl died yesterday after
noon at $50 o'clock and was buried last
night in the Cambria cemetery. A pa
thetic feature of the death was the
fact that the child's father, who is
quarantined at his home. was unable
to take q last look at the body before
it was removed to the cemetery for
burial. He broke down completely
when told of the little ones death and
begged to be allowed to see the body
before it was placed in the earth. but
the officers We're ohduratc and refused
to permit him to leave the house.
The 16-year-old daughter of Mrs.
Charles Parry and the 4-year-old Brace
boy are now the only two patients re-
naming afflicted with the disease it
having been discovered that Mrs. Parry
was suffering from another complaint
entirely dissimilar from smallpox. It
is a significant fact that none of the
three children afflicted with the disease
had ever been vaccinated, while Mrs.
Parry was vaccinated in her early
youth.
STRICT QUARANTINE.
A strict quarantine is still maintained
at the Brace house, on North Bromley
avenue, as well as at the Mears' hall
building, and officers are guarding the
premises night and day. Health Off
Ger Thomas V. Lewis is constantly at
work fumigating all places where
there is any likelihood of contagion.
The Salvation Army barrack, on Price
street, has been thoroughly disin-
fected, and the Jackson street police
station was filled With formaldehyde
gas yesterday afternoon.
Superintendent Allen, of the bureau
of health, when seen yesterday after
noon. stated that the situation looked
promising, but that predictions as to
the possible spread of the disease
would be futile until it has been ascer-
tanned whether or not any Of the per-
sons exposed to contagion in West
Scranton contract the disease. 1t will
be impossible to tell this until the end
of the present week.
The manner in which the disease was
probably brought into this city has
been explained by w. J. Brace to some
of the officers who have been guarding
his home. He says that Lewis, who
came on here from Ohio, struck up an
acquaintance on the train with a man
from Plymouth, who had gone to
Johnstown to attend a funeral, and
who was returning home.
Brace says that Lewis stated that
this man had complained of having
felt i'll and that he had an eruption on
his face. The health authorities are
inclined to believe that Lewis con-
tracted the case of smallpox which re-
suited in his death from this myster-
ious stranger.

WORK ON HOSPITAL.

Work on the emergency hospital,
which is being erected on the West
Mountain half mile from any habi-
tatlon. is progressing rapidly, and it is
believed it will be ready for use, if
needed by the middle Of the week.
Forty-seven firemen We're vaccinated
yesterday afternoon in he municipal
building by Superintendent Allen, OF
the bureau of health. The others will
be vaccinated either today or tomor-
row.
Every physician in the city is doing
hardly anything these days except
vaccinating the young and the old. A
certain well-known practitioner stated
yesterday that he had vaccinated no
less than seventy-two persons one day
last week and forty-nine another day.
The physicians say that if as many are
vaccinated this week as last, that when
it draws TO a close nearly every per-
son in the city in need of vaccination
will have been attended to.
