misunderstood between our mana

store whom we roasted last week.
He is under the impression that a
certain high price was made to
him, while our manager claims no
price was mentioned. However, the
price he mentioned as having been
made to him is much higher than
we generally charge for such work,
which leads us to believe there was
some misunderstanding.

In all parts of West Scranton n gem
cral survey of the condition of affairs
resulting from the severe downpour Of
rain Thursday evening, was made yes
terday. Not as much damage resulted
as was conjectured. OF course every
where the streets present O. bare APP
pearance, and the cutters show clearly.
Here and there a settling of sediment
indicated that in some cases the water
had been stopped and A pool formed.
Nearly all the sewer basins where
ever located became choked to more or
less extent, but the sewer gang of the
street commissioners department is
trying to clear up as fast as possible.
The intermittent showers of last even
ing will, however, make much work to
do over again.
In every case where the water was
backed up especially on the side streets
where the houses had Easements flood
ed cellars resulted. I.uzerne street
from Thirteenth to Nineteenth prob
ably suffered the most in this circum-
stance.
Along about Fifteenth street not n
cellar escaped and the water stood
nearly a foot in depth on the street.
Not much damage but great inconven-
ience was thus caused. The cause of
this trouble was the blocking of the
little creek which flows down past the
Washburn street cemetery and crosses
Luzerne street at this point. The sew
er, and a good big one at that, would
be very acceptable at times like these
to the above residents and If one or two
more such rains come every one along
there will be a unit for a sewer.
Probably the most severe washout on
this side on a street was that at the
Mt. Pleasant ravine on North Main
avenue. The street was filled in some
time ago to the full width of the ave.
nue. ana sidewalks laid on either side
Midway on the lower side of the street

THEY HAD A TEST.

Thomas Roberts, once a leader, has
been depOsed and his former rival John
Mcdonald has taken the coveted place.
1t took about twelve long rounds, end
ing in a rough and tumble, best man
wins fight to settle the veXattouS ques-
tion.
Both the men reside on Frink street,
Twenty ward, and seemingly have
been rivals for many a day. About a
year and half ago Mcdonald made
his first attempt to beard the lion Of
Fellows hill" and was wOefully worst
ed. Like all valiant men, he bade his
time and Wednesday night his chance
came. An excuse was given and the
affair was there and then arranged
Bare fists, fight to finish, give and
take. Briggs field, Thursday evening,
6 o'clock. Those were the arrange
ments. 1t is said that Thomas Evans
quietly overlooked affairs and Michael
Grady as second for Mcdonald fixed
things, with Charles Parry as second
for Roberts.
No one kept time and the fight only
stopped when it became too brutal even
for the most anxious man in the crowd.
Both men stood to their guns. Roberts
was badly used up. AS for Mcdonald,
he was punished, but was willing, con-
sidering the chance he had and took.

The severe thunder and rain storm
of Thursday evening dld n small
amount Of damage and several resi-
denCas AMI occupants had miraculous
escapes from destruction. Especially
at what is known as the SHAFT" sec
ton Of this place.
The hotel conducted by Johl Moffatt
on Brick avenue was one that felt the
effect of the electrical storm. A bolt OF
lightning descended, striking one of the
corners of the roof and shattering it
completely Had it entered the centre
of the place, it would probably have
entered the bar room where a large
number of men were congregated
The second house to be struck by the
destructive element was a house In
course of erection on McDonough ave-
nue., and fortunately untenanted. This
house Jared rather badly and would
have been consumed by flames had not
the heavy rains eXtinguishcd them be-
fore any damage could be done. The
house is owned by Thomas O'Malley.
