 Charged With Assault

Charged With Assault Alexander Oneperko of 116 Sixth
 street called at the office of Prose-
 cutting Attorney James T. Mather yesterday afternoon and complained that he had been assaulted by Aleck Alesmina and Joseph Andralavicz, both of 25 River street, during an argument at his home Sunday aft ernoon. He contended that both men called at his house avd with out provocation started to beat him up. As a result of the complaint. warrants were issued for the two men and they were arrested late
 yesterday by Motorcycle Policeman
 Edgar Norton.
 When brought before the prose- cutting attorney this morning. the testimony tended to show that the complainant was as much responsi- ble for the altercation as the men he accused. As result a warrant
 was issued for Oneperko on a charge
 of assault. Alesmina was found in- nocent of having taken part in the affair and the other two men were obliged to pay the costs of the case, which was nolled.
 Heavy Rain
 A heavy downpour of rain which started shortly before o'clock yes terday afternoon and continued in- termittently until about 3 o'clock this morning, flooded a number of
 the lower streets in the city and washed out a number of the dirt roads in the outlying sections. Dirt from kenney street was washed onto Central street and a large quantity of sand was carried down Broad
 place 10 Broad street, necessitating repairs by both city street depart ment and state highway men. To Install Officers The recently elected officers of Court Ever Welcome. Foresters of America, will be installed at a meet ing to be held on Thursday evening Deputy Grand Chief Ranger Albert Rawiszcr of this city will be in charge of the exercises.
 Coal Contract Awarded The contract for supplying the city's requirements in anthracite and
 bituminous coal was awarded to William H. Rowe at a meeting of the city council last evening. The price to the city for anthracite coal is to be $13,45 and for bituminous s745.
 The awarding of the coal contract in past years had been a source of considerable comment throughout the city, the city clerk acting in his capacity of purchasing agent, having the power to accept or reject all bids and award the contract. Many coal dealers in the city on this basis have refused to submit their bids
 and for the past few years but one bid was received and that from the Quinion Coal and Trucking company. At recent meeting of the city council, it was decided to have all
 coal bids opened at regular meet
 ing of the council with the result
 that several bids were received. The
 Quinion Coal and Trucking con-
 pany and William H. Rowe, the suc-
 cesSful bidder, were the two lowest
 and the matter then simmered down
 to grades to be furnished. Mir. Rowe
 agreed to furnish the grades speci- fled at the figures mentioned and upon the motion of Councilman Will liam R. Hayes, the council voted to
 award him the contract.
 Both George H. Quinion of inc
 Quinion Coal and Trucking company
 and Mir. Rowe were present at the
 meeting
