At Klrby's hall, last evening, the second exhibition under the auspices of the National Athletic Club was held, the chief event being a sparring match of 20 rounds between Harry Ruhlin, of Wilkesbarre, and Joe Laurel, of New ark. The: latter was forced to look to his laurels. Ruhlin had the advantage In weight, tipping the scales at 130; pounds, while his adversary weighed From the moment the first round started until the match was called a very clever" exhibition was given, both, men displaying considerable In points and clever work, Ruhlin was outdone by Laurel, but the former pos. s'essed more strength wtoch; evened matters up. twice to Ruhlin's once, hut his I blows' did no possess force enough to any while Ruhlin's'' blows put his adversary to the.

floor several times. Iii spite of the pace, both men were in fresh cohditiHi in the 14th round. DurT ing the 15th round, several foul blows were given, in spite of referee "Jim" Judge's warnings, and towards the end of the round he called the fight, de claring it a draw. The decision pleased CONDITION OF SUSQUEHANNA. Professor Dean's Report Submitted to the Washington Authorities.

Under the direction of the Department of the Interior the United States Geologi cal Survey at Washington has been conducting: experiments to And out what ef fect minfr water and culm, had upon the waters of the "rivers" and creeks into which this refuae wflg. emptied. Professor Dean, the chemist, of city has made, under the'dlrection; 6f the department, a number of analyses of he: water of tne Susquehanna and Lackawanna rivers, and the Wilkes Barre Record wrote the de partment at Washington; asking the results of this and in' response u. j. Hiancnara ot tne uniteu state ideological Survey sends the Record the following interesting and valuable report.

Contrary to the general opinion the re part emphatically states that mine' water and culm not only do not contaminate the water but are beneficial, and in a measure uci uu purmeris, in an auogeiner remnrft able manner. The report is as follows One of the' most troublesome features In connection with the development of mining property has been the1 discharge of mine waters Into the streams and riv ers. This has been particularly noticeable in the, coal mining regions, especially those in Pennsylvania. Coal mine waters contain lare amounts of acids and other Ingredients which affect the character of the water. It has been believed that this mine waste is one pi the unqualified sources of damage Which arise from mines, and lias, therefore, been regarded as a necessary evil.

It has been noted that.in small streams into which, mine are discharged all fish and vegetable life disappears. The bottom the channel is covered witn a red precipitate. The investigations tbe United States Geological Survey In connection with the survey the water respiW'ces of th Susquehanna River show1 tnat, while there certainly, are some disadvantages arising irmn ine aiscnarge 01 mis mine waier, there is, nevertheless, a large favorable factor, i This mine wate which carries varying proportions of ferrous and aluminum sulphate, seems to be an ideal pre cipitating agent, and while the character of the. water into which it discharges Is considered unfavorable in some" respeats, the benefits? arising tronn'the deposits of culm and organic matter anore than com persates for the disadvantages, especially in the larger streams. The Investigations of the Survey show that the Susquehanna River, just above the mouth of the Lackawanna at the en trance to the northern coal measures, contains a considerable proportion of organic matter.

Lackawanna River con tributes to the Susquehanna Immense amqunts of sewage from the municlpall tiesJbf Scranton, Carbondale and smaller places, while below the entrance of the Lackawanna there Is poured Into the Susquehanna the sewage of Wilkes Barre, Pittston, West Pittston. Kingston, Plymouth and Nanticoke. In addition to this sewage there is turned into the stream an unusually large quantity of fine coal dust. Such Is the precipitating effect of the large quantities of acid mine waste turned into the Susquehanna from the shafts ii: the upper coal measures that the sew age water contains less putrescible mat ter at the Nanticoke dam, a short distance below the City of Nanticoke, than It does above the entrance of the sewers of the cities named. Enormous quantities of culm are also precipitated, except when the river is very high and on, the whole the: water Is as good from a chemical standpoint at Nanticoke as it Is above the mouth of the Lackawanna.

When one considers that the distance between these two points is sixteen mile si and between them the river is subjected to the sewage pollution of 230,000 people, the beneficial effects of the acid mine wastes appear altogether remarkable.

The company decided to leave, not; because rthe hall was ordered closed, which It has not been as yet, but 'for fear that it might be ordered' closed.

The committee appointed, which consists of the mayor, the chief of the fire department and the lire committees of both councils, has not yet held a session. It is the intention to hold the first meeting tomorrow night, after the joint session of councils, when a plan of investigation will likely be decided on.

Suffered a Serious Loss Last Evening. The Avoca station, of the D. H. was totally destroyed by last evening'. The fire started in the basement of the building, presumably from the and was not discovered until it had gained! considerable headway.

About "7.45 an alarm of fire was sounded and the Avc.ca Hose Co. was quickly on the scene, but owing to the fire plugs being frozen, they were hampered in their work, waking it impossible to save the building, of which nothing soon remained but a mass of embers. The agent, George W. Lower, was in the station when the fire "was discovered, and promptly turned his attention to getting out all the movable articles in the building. As a result of his thoughtfulness and energy, all of the baggage'and efftce paraphernalia, including the ticket cases, were saved.

The burned 'building was erected about ten years ago and was used as a union station Ly the Lehigh Valley and D. H. lines. The Lehigh Valley had a branch on the west side of the statipn, while the D. H.

tracks run along the sldo. The building was very neat and commodious, having been erected to accommodate the patrons of both railroads. After the opening of the trolley line between Avoca and Pittston, Lehigh Valley trains be tween these stations were taken off. The D. H.

freight house is located a short distance from the passenger station and was not touched by the flames. This building is being used temporarily for the passenger service. Mrs. Golden's house, the nearest one to the fire, was scorched by the flames. The loss to the D.

H. Co. is estimated at $3,000 CHILD FATALLY SCALDED. Fell Into Tub of Hot Water at Family Home in Boston Settlement. An Italian child at the Boston settle, ment was scalded to death this morning by falling into a tub of boiling water.

The child's name was Antonio Gydon, and he was the three year old son of Joseph Gldon. For the past year he had been in a sickly condition and was just This morning, while the family washing was being done, the child was playing about the While the clothes were being hung, the child was left alone in the kitchen and accidentally fell into a tub filled with almost boiling water. He lived for only a short time after being taken out, being horribly scalded. The funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon at 1.30. Interment will be made in Market street cemetery.

An interesting pool contest for a purse of money was played at Schmaltz's pool rooms, in Hughestown, last by Michael Ruane and Worrer Richmond.

Ruane won by the score of 150 to 132. It was a good game, both playing in a spirited manner. Several hundred people witnessed the game. Herbert Sweet acted as referee. A match is being arranged between Sweet and Ruane, to be played at Schmaltz's.

John Murray challenged Ruane, offering to give him odds of 250 points to 175 points. Last night, the ex Y. M. C. A.

basket ball team journeyed to Parsons and met defeat at the hands of the Parsons team by the score, 23 22. At the end of the second half of the game the score was a tie, 18 18, and ten minutes' additional play was necessary to decide. The Parsons team was much heavier than the ex Y. M. C.

A. and played a very rough game. When the Pittston team first entered the hall the Parsons rooters foresaw an easy victory, but they were greatly surprised when the first two baskets were made by the visitors. 'William Scheetz, of this cltjr, acted as timekeeper. The1 Wilkesbarre high school team and the second Parsons team played a game, which ended a tie, the score being 18 18.

No musical event in Scranton has ever gained such hold on the people in advance as has the coming performance of the oratorio, "Elijah." Tickets have sold, wonderfully well and the demand seems to increase, so that a reasonable prediction is that an audience equal to any vver within the walls of the armory will be present. Requests from out of town for choice, seats come in every mall, four being asked for by Mr. Van Yorx, the artist tenor, who will bring friends from New York.
