BELLAIRE HAPPENINGS.
Matters of Interest in the Metropolis
Of Belmont County.

a. W. Beatty, of the auditors office,
was down yesterday starting the city
decenniaI board in, business. 1t had
met at the auditors Office inst. Clairs-
Vile Monday and organized by electing
John Steger president, and will hold
daily sessions for while now. Most
OF the members Of the board seem dis
posed to do all In their power to put
this city right, but they are powerless.
They can neither increase nor decrease
the aggregate. They can take some
thing Off what was put on Paul and
place 1t on Peter. but this sort OF shift
ing Is all they can do. They are una
bic TO get Mt the real thing. which
would be reduction all over the city.
in view OF what other places have re-
ported. But for this remedy the coun-
,ty and state boards must be looked to.
and all they can do Is 10 make iIort-
zortal reductions. This Is the fault
of the law, which would be good II all
the appraisers followed It TO the letter.
AS It Is better one could be framed.

NEW YORK. Aug. 7.--Robert Fitz-
simmons and Gus Rubin are the most
preoccupled men in or around Greater
New York Both are thinking of a
certain punch to. be delivered at an OPP
perfume time In the ring Of the Mad
ison Square Garden Friday night. Each
thinks he will deliver the lucky punch.

argue that the Akron giant is bound to

cool man like FIt= will be able to
sail right in and win the fight.
"FitzsImmons Is such an experienced
fighter that II Rubin does enter the

slow to take advantage OF 1t and n

the Cornlshman Is able to outclass all
the heavy weights. and much money Is
sure to be bet on him, because of his
well-known ability TO land a settling
blow at the right moment. Ruhlin's
admirers laugh at the idea OF his be-

risk their whole bank roll on the Ohio
mans ability to defeat Fitzsfnmons.
Even II Rubin Is unable to finish the
Cornishman within ten rounds, his
friends, say that Fitzslmmons Is grow

have him at his mercy. Whichever
way the decision goes. large pot OF
money is bound to exchange hands on

protecting our extensive seacoast from
foreign attack, and to include in its mem
bership the best military talent available
under existing conditions of the service.
