In the common pleas court, before
Judge Edwards yesterday, some in
teresting testimony was presented by
the plaintiff in the case of John Xale"
wiski against Max Judovics and John
w. Millett.
Zalewiski Is a very decent looking
Polish miner, living in Dunmore. judi
hokovcs is a merchant doing business
on South Washington avenue, and Mil
lett is alderman of the Sixth ward.
Xalewiski traded with Judkovics and
got into a dispute with him regarding;
u balance. August Is last, while on
a business trip to Scranton, Nalewiski
was arrested on the street. on IL war
rant sworn out by Judkovics, charging
him with obtaining goods by false pre-
lenses. He was hauled before Alder
man Millett and, after hearing, was
held in $500 bail for court. John Xu-
miski offered himself as bail, but the
alderman refused TO accept him, with
out making any inquiries as to whether
or not lie could qualify. HumisN pro-
tested that this was not right. where
upon he was adjudged guilty of disor-
derly conduct and also committed to
jail. Both were released three days
later on habeas corpus writs. Such,
at least, is the story as related by the
plaintiffs witnesses.
Zalewiski is claiming $4,000 DAM
ages for malicious prosecution, and
false imprisonment He is trying 10
show that his arrest was nothing more
or less than an attempt on the part
of Judkovics to collect a debt By crimi-
nal process, as was Il widespread Gus"
tom in various parts of the city some
years ago.
p. f. LauglNan appears for the
plaintiff. The defendants are repre-
sented by Taylor &; Lewis and Cawley
& Shean.
Judge Newcomb is still engaged in
the trial of the damage case of the
Patrick Haggerty estate against the
city of Scranton. The plaintiff claims
$4,000 for damages done two proper
ties on lower Jackson street, by reason
of the narrowing OF that thoroughfare
TO make q wide roadway on Robinson
street, which converges with Jackson
street in front of the plaintiffs prop
erty.
A large number of witnesses testi-
fled that Jackson street at this point
was originally fifty feet wide, and that
thirty-one feet of it was appropriated
for the widening of Robinson street,
bottling up the properties on Jackson
street, and decreasing their value
thereby.
L. w. Thayer represents the plaintiff.
The defense is looked after by City
Solicitor George NJ. Watson and As
sistant City Solicitor David j. Davis.
In the case of the Scranton Supply
and Machinery company against +. T.
Christian, q verdict was found for the
plaintiff in the sum of $SS5.37.

THE WRESTLING MATCH.
Dwyer and Mcleod to Take the Mat
Tuesday Might.

The wrestling match between NJ. j.
Dwyer and u. $. Mcleod, scheduled for
next Tuesday. January 81. at the Bi-
cycle club. promises to bring out the
largest crowd ever seen at an event Of
the kind held under the auspices of this
club. Arrangements have been made so
that at least four hundred people can
obtain clear view of the wrestlers.
These affairs are originally arranged
for the enterainment of the club mem-
bers only but at the solicitation Of
many business and professional men,
who enjoy clean sport and who are not
members of the club, 1t has been de-
cided to make II IL semi-public affair.
Although several good wrestlers have
been brought here to face DWyer, none
so far have shown sufficient cleverness
to obtain the decision over him. He Is
always out to win, and takes no
chances. In this instance, in order to
put himself in the best condition,
Dwyer asked for a. postponement from
January II to 21 and now writes that
he Is hard and fit, prepared to make
the effort of his life.
The Cleveland Leader. December l.,
has this to say about Mcleod:
Last night before a crowd of $500
people, for IL purse of $1,50O, Dan s. Nc
Leod lost the worlds championship
catch-as-catch-can style of wrestling,
to Tom jenkins, but only after the
fiercest struggle ever witnessed at n
like affair in this city. Jenkins weighed
in at 102 pounds, and Mcleod at 1856
pounds. Mcleod took the first fall in
thirty-nine minutes, but Jenkins weight
told in the next two and he got hoth
falls, the first in thirty-two minutes
and the last in twenty-fou minutes"

TAKING PRECAUTIONS.

Every precauton is being taken to
prevent the spread of the disease, and
as result of the West Scranton cases
hundreds Of people in that part OF the
city were vaccinated yesterday.
Superintendent Allen, of the bureau
of health, said yesterday that it was
absolutely impossible to make any pre-
diction as to whether the disease will
spread. The fact that the attending
physician did not realize that his pa
tients were suffering from smallpox
and that as consequence no precau-
tions against a spread Of the disease
were taken until Wednesday night is
what is giving the health authorities
concern.
After q consultation with Superinten-
dent Allen yesterday morning, Director
OF Public Safety Wormser issued the
following order prohibiting balls and
dances of all kinds for the present, a
copy of which was sent to every own
er Of hall in the city.
Scranton, Pa, Jan. %, 1902
Dear sir In view OF the fact that there is
smallpox prevalent in this city and adjacent
places you are hereby requested and notified
not 70 allow any public dances or assemblages
10 be held in your hall until further notice
This order must he strictly complied with. BY
order Of 7, l.. WOTnscr
Director OF Public Safety.
Director Wormser, when asked If
there was any possibility of the the
atres being ordered closed said that
present conditions did not warrant such
action but intimated thnr il the disease
spreads to any very great extent, this
may be done.
MR.. WORMSER'S STATEMENT.
II am afraid we are going to have
serious trouble" said he, "and every
precaution that can possibly be taken
10 prevent a spread of this disease is
going to be taken. The action of the
doctor who attended Mr.. Lewis and
who failed to call in another physician
in consultation when he saw that the
symptoms were peculiar, having a
knowledge as he did that smallpox ex-
listed in nearby towns, is worthy of the
severest censure and to it can be traced
the spread of this disease, il 1t does
spread"
The director confirmed the state
ment that site for a pest-house has

spreads. Plans have been prepared
and figures for it's construction We're
yesterday presented by at least one
