Fury a Winner.

An interesting glove contest took
place at the Auditorium last evening
under the management of the Wheel
mems Athletic Club, who have given
several successful entertainments OF
the kind during the past few months.
The contestants were Barney Furey, of
Cincinnati, and Squirrel Finnerty, OF
Youngstown. About six hundred seats
were sold for the entertainment and 1t
was very orderly crowd.
The preliminary bout was one of the
best that has been witnessed by Ma
rietta crowd of spectators. The con-
testants, "Mert' Mason and 'Eph"
Johnson, fought for six rounds with
vim and vlgor, and although Mason
had the better in height and weight,
Johnson won the decision by his abll-
ity to defend himself and to deliver
well directed blows.
The main bout was watched intently
by the crowd, but no specially interest
ing features were presented. J. G.
Gavin, of Wheeling, was the referee,
and Jack Loffland, Of Marietta, the
timekeeper.
In Furey's corner were Frank Jor-
dan and Tom Sullivan, of Cincinnati,
and Charles Wheatley, Of this city,
while Finnerty's seconds were "Tobe"
Coyne. of Sistersyille. and J,rP. Nc
Guire, of Wheeling.
Both mel. were well trained, but for
some reason or other they didn't get
down to hard work. Finnerty is short
and heavy set, weighing about $50
pounds. Furey is slim and very wiry
and weigs about 1872 pounds, and is
quick as cat" Finnerty depended
considerably on his weight, but Furey
vas quick at lodging and planted
blow after blow in his antagonists
face and neck The latter, however,
was perfectly able to stand Furey's
hard blows.
The contest lasted for fifteen rounds
and both appeared fresh at the close.
Furey, however, was given the decis-
ion on points.
Furey will fight Joe Cans at Gin
cinnati next Monday evening.

Serious Charge.

Carl Lovens and George Conners,
two boys who live on Ohio street, were
locked up by Officer Coffman yesterday
afternoon and will have hearing be-
fore the Mayor this morning on a very
serious charge.
Sunday, it is alleged, they got into
the store Of /. Robinovltz, on Fourth
street, and stole some brass and a
quantity of copper wire, which they
tried to sell to Peter Unger. Mr.. I'm
ger refused to buy and reported the
matter to the police. officer Coffman
was detailed to work on the case and
he succeeded in recovering the articles
mentioned together with some silver
ware, which had been stoln from an
other place, and a brass lubrlcator
taken from the box factory. The boys
were promptly arrested and are now
in the lookup. Loyens is colored and
Conners is white. S.

The Bridge.

Work on the pivot pier of the new
bridge is progressing nicely. Some
trouble was experienced last week
with the ciasson which sprung leak
on one side. 1t was raised, the damage
repaired and now the ciasson is in
good shape.
The iron work for two spans is al
most up, with the exception of the
hangers for the street car track and
the sidewalk.
The building of the shore pier on
the east side of the river, 1t is said,
will require the building OF a Golfer
dam and this will obstruct navigation.
If such is the case permit from the
government will be necessary. as the
channel would be cbstructed for two
or three days.

No Election.


The Board of Health met last even

business, endeavored again to make a
selection from the number of candi-
dates fer the Office of sanitary police
man. Five ballots were taken, but
there was no election. A motion was
made to lay the matter over until the
first meeting in September, but 1t was
ruled out of order by the Chairman
and an appeal being taken the decision
of the chair was sutained. The mat
ter will probably come up as unfinish-
ed business at the next meeting.
But one new applicant appeared in
the field last evening, that one being
