CHAWroitD-MINOIl NDWS NOTES.
In nil pntts of West Scrnnton a gen
eral survey of tho condition of affairs
resulting from the sevcro downpour of
rain Thursday evening, was made yes
tetdny. Not as much damago resulted
as was conjectured. Of course every
where tho stieets piesent a baro ap
pearance, and the gutters show clearly.
Hero and there a settling of sediment
Indicated that in some cages tho water
had been stopped and A pool formed.
Neatly nil tho sower basins whero
ever located became choked to more or
less extent, but th sewer gang of tho
street commissioner's department la
tiylng to clenr up as fast as possible.
The intermittent showers of last even
ing will, however, make much work to
du over ngaln.
In oveiy case where the water was
backed up, especially on tho side htrcets
where the houses had basements flood
ed cellars resulted. Luzerne street
ftoni Thirteenth to Nineteenth prob
ably suffered tho most in this circum
stance. Along about rifteentli street not a
cellar escaped and the water stood
nearly a foot In depth on the street.
Not much damage, but great Inconven
ience wns thus caused. Tne cause of
this trouble was tho blocking of tho
little creek which flows down past tho
Washburn stieet cemetery and ciosses
Luzerno street at this point. The sevv
ei, and a good big one at that, would
bo very acceptable at times like theo
to the above residents and If one or two
mote such tains come eveiy one along
there will be a unit for a, tewer.
Probably the most severe washout on
thl3 sldo on a street was that nt the
Mt. Pleasant lavine on North Main
aenu. The stieet was filled In some
time ago to the full width of the ave
nue and sidewalks laid on either lde.
Midway on the lower side of the stieet
a lnijte basin was placed. For a long
Willi tho sidewalk filling from tho bas
in north twenty feet has been Insceuie,
an 1 the overplus of ",ater Thursday
evening Just finished It. buut ten
fe 't of tho roadway, the curbs, side
walk and re Ulnc were washed down
lino the lavh.e.
The sp-ico wns fenced off yesterday,
but nothing was done towatds repair
ing it. It Is veiy likely that the woik
of poverliijr In tho whole lavine and
tilling In the entile gully for which an
nppi epilation has already been made,
w ill now bo pushed to completion. This
will do away with the necessity of any
other repairs which from tho naturo of
things will bo continually necessity.
THEY HAD A TEST.
Thumas Itoberts, once a leader, has
been deposed and his former rival John
McDonald has taken tho coveted place.
It took about twelve long rounds, end
ing In a louuh and tumble, best man
wins light to "ettle tho vexatious ques
tion. Doth the men leslde on Frlnk street,
Twent-ftist waul, and seemingly have
I" on rivals for many a day. About a
rar and a half ago McDonald made
his (list attempt to "beard tho lion of
Follows' hill" and was woefully worst
ed Like all valiant men, he bade his
time and Wednesday night his chance
came. n ecuse was given and tho
nffali was theie and then arranged.
Hnie lKts, light to finish, give and
take. Dilggs" Held, Thuisday evening,
C o'elock. Those were tho arrange
ments. It Is said that Thomis Evans
eiuletly ov ei looked nitalrs and Michael
Gtady as second for McDonald fixed
things, w ith Charles Parry as second
for P.oberts,
No one Kept time and the fight only
stopped whin It btcame too buital even
foi tho most anxious man In the crowd.
Poth nvii stoud to their guns. Hoberts
was badly used up As for McDonald,
he vi as punished, but was willing, con
sldeilng the chance ho had and took.
