ENDED IN A DRAW.
Twenty Round Bout Between Owen
Zeigler and Matty Matthews.

New York, Jan. THE Greenwood
Athletic club of Brooklyn held a box
ing show which began at o'clock this
afternoon ana the house was uncom-
fortably crowded. The star event was
a 20-round bout at catchweights be-
tween owen Zeigler, of Philadelphia,
and Matty Matthews, of this city, both
welterweights with good records. They
fought the twenty rounds hard and
fast, each displaying a great deal of
science and good Judgment. From the
opening round neither let his opponent
have an idle moment and before five
rounds had been gone through eacn
mans face was well marked up.
For fifteen rounds Matthews had n
slight lead. and although Zeigler did
most of the leading Mattys counters
on the wind were very effective. Zeig-
lcr got home some heavy jolts on the
local mans face and swung both hands
TO the head stopping Matthews. Mat
thcws, however, always had a left up
percut or IL swing ready when Heigier
came within reach, and the latter must
nave been in grand shape to Withstand
such hard punishment on the stomach.
Toward the close of the fight Zeigler
was the stronger but once in the sew
ontcentn round Matthews hit with a
left hook on the jaw which forced the
Philadelphian to his knees.
Zeiglcr was very strong in the last
round but Sam c. Austin. referee. could
not decide on either man as a winner
and declared the bout a draw. The de =
cisiCn was a popular one.

An alarm of fire vas sounded from
box 81 az the corner of Blakely ala
Drinkcr street yesterday morning
about $50 o'clock. The fire proved 10
be under the frCnt porch OF the new
double dwelling Of Arthur Spencer
on North Blakcly street, occupied DE
Frank Saunders. The fire started on
Mr. Saunders side and was caused DE
the wood work catching from "a H!dZc
while they were cndcavOring 10 thaW
out the water pipe.
The Neptune and independent fire
Cumpanies RESPONDED to the alarm, hu-
the services Of the former were onlT
needed They were the first upon the
scene and did effective work with their
now chemical engine which was used
for the first time since being accepted
by the borough.
The people of Durmore are proud Of
:heir fire boys. We have from time to
time printed in this column the alert
ness of different companies in respond
ing to alarms. At present three com
panies are thoroughly equipped with
fire fighting apparatus, teams, wagons,
etc. The independents. hose wagon
and team, John Van Horn, driver: the
George Seese, driver and William Pot
ter and George fudge, engineers; the
Electrics, wagon and team, Philip Wag-
ner. driver All these permanent men
sleep i'm the hose rooms. Besides these
there are the \. ID. and f. NJ. Spen-
Ger, John b. Smiths and Anthracite
companies. The two former are
equipped with hand carts. The latter
was recently organized and has no APP
paratuS rs yet.
Dunmorc needed such IL fire depart
mcnt. 1t had been almost impossible
to insure buildings in the vicinity of
the corners" on, III fact, in any othe.
part of the town, so high were the in
surance rates. The present borough
council saw the plight of the citizens
and came to their rescue. Last yeaI
they appropriated one-quarter Of the
borough's money to the fire department
to bring it up to the present standard
This amounted many thousands OF
dollar. Now, they as we'll as the citi-
Zens expect 10 see the insurance COM
panies lower their rates in the bor-
ough limits. The cry of the insurance
companies was that the town was not
sufficiently protected in case OF fire
This has been overcome.
