Time after time the latter got in his

sired end. Sharkey rolled all over the
ring and was down when the bell
sounded and Ruhlin's seconds claimed
the fight. The referee declined to al

were "rom" Royan, Bob" Shnrkey
and "Spike" Sullivan, while Rubin
was seconded by "Billy" Madden and
"Jem" Mace. Adopting forcing tac-
tics Sharkey held his own In the first
three rounds, although Rubin always
managed to miss Sharkey's lightning
left whenever there was any force in
In. In the fourth round Sharkey was
cautioned "a second time for holding
and although plucky he appeared to
he in trouble. Rubin showed great
science and coolness. The fighting
continued mt n severe pace.
AT the opening of the fifth round
Rubin sent his right and left to Shar-
keys jaw and neck and the latter was
cautioned for hitting low. Rubin was
good on his feet and maintained II
splendid defense while Sharkey was
the ''receiver general" Both men
were again cautioned for holding.
Sharkey's left eye was cut, perhaps
by Ruhlin's elbow and It soon filled
out. At the close of the round both
men were glad to rest.
Round Sharkcy looked refreshed.
Ruhlin's long reach made II difficult
for Sharkey to get close to his oppon-

A special from New Martinsyille
has the following:
A sensational affair occared at
the closing session of the West Vir
GINA Methodist conference, and il
was probably the first time in the
history of the conference that
a member was Kissed. 1t occurred
out OF the application for recogni
tion of orders of the Rev. John Har-
vey of Wayne county. Mr.. Harvey
is tall, uncouth mountaineer, and
he appeared before the conference to
be introduced to the members look
ing every inch the part. 1t was
remarked by some that he looked
like Abraham Lincoln. His ap
pearance caused a smile to gather
on the countenances of some, but it
was not manifested in such a man
ner as to embarass him. He was
then invited to retire while his quail
ificatIons were discussed by the
conference.
Here some remarks were indulg-
ed in that were certainly unbeeom
ing such dignified body, and it is
to the credit of the ministers that
most of them expressed their dis
approval in unmeasured terms. The
remarks that brought the Kisses
were made by the Rev. jeremiah
Engle, former presiding elder of the
Huntington district.
1.-The man does not seem to DE ia.
miliar with the science of chemis.
try" he said, "or he would know
the use of soap and water"
Cries of t.Shamer' Shamep. and
many Kisses were heard, and the
Rev. S. V. Leech of Morgantown
arose and rebuked the speaker IN
terms not very mild. He said re-
marks of this kind ought never to
be heard in body of this kind. To
other remarks that had been made
on the personal appearance and un
calmly physique of the Wayne coun-
ty applicant, he said: IF we look
to ourselves we shall find that some
of us are not beauties"
Hr. Harvey was an applicant from
the Methodist Protestant church
and he was received.

SUPERINTENDENT NAMED.
Geo. H. Switzer of Parkersburg
Employed.
Twelve Years Experience in Electrical
We'll Solicit Bids on Electric Ma
ehinery and Equipment at Once.


At meeting of Directors of the
Morgantown Electric and Traction
Company Wednesday morning, Geo.
H. Switzer of Parkersburg was en-
ployed as general superintendent
for the company.
Mr.. Switzer has had twelve years
experience in practical electrical
engineering work and comes, with
highest recommendations from both
the Electric and Traction company
of Parkersburg and the Westing
house people of Pittsburg. He was
in the employ of the last named
company for five years.
The Parkersburg Electric railway
and electric lighting plant are
among the best equipped in the
state. There are about twenty six
miles of track and the city is hight
ed by electricity. Mr.. Switzer
comes directly from the superinten-
dence of the Parkersburg plant here.
He arrived yesterday and went to
Pittsburg today to procure bid on
machinery and equipment for the
lighting plant and street railway.
He will move here with his family
soon.
A great deal of expensive machi
merry is required and much higher
priced work done in the building of
a good electric light and power
plant. 1t is necessary that this be
done right, If there is to be any pro
fit in it, or any accommodation to
the public. With view to having
the best and avoiding mistakes, the
directors OF the Electric company
have gone to great expense in en-
ploying competent and high priced
men to carry on the work. Both
Mr.. Webb the engineer and Mr.
Switzer the superintendent are
ment of experience and skill in the
special work each Is employed to
perform.
Prof. Webb has about completed
the surveys for location of track and
is now completing specifications for
machinery etc required.
A great many possible routes for
the street car line have been survey
ed, but only three and one half
miles have been decided upon def
nitely. This much will be built as
soon as the power house and cleo
trio lighting plant are in operation.
The route definitely decided upon
will follow High street from Foun
dry to Wiley, east on Wiley TO
Prospect, west on Prospect, past the
University out Beverly ave to about
Eight street. down to Beechurst, and
back Beechurst and Front to the
starting place This will reach the
most densely populated section of
the city and give transportation to
the factories now IN operation in
Seneca.
