i sport Along the Susquensana.
A new railroad company has been
organised as the West Branch Railroad
company, and is to be built from Clear-
field to Williamsport, 110 miles, foilow-
ing the West Branch of the Susque-
hanna river, the only natural route
between the two points, all the way.
Among the stockholders and most
ardent promoters are some very prom-
inent men of Clearfield county, which
includes John E. DuBois, of DuBois;
A. E Patton, R. D. Swoope and J. 8.
Dyer, of Curwensvslle; H. B. and A.
R. Powell and H. F. Bigler, of Clear-
field. At a meeting held at Clearfield
Patton; vice-president, H. B. Powell;
secretary, W. F. Patton; treasurer, J.
8. Dyer. The capital stock is $1,110,
000. Negotiating the right of way and
surveying has already been receiving
much attention and it is announced
upon the best authority that can be
reached that work towards speedy con-
struction is to go on forthwith.
Those who have knowledge of the
‘country this line traverses, and the
| connections possible at each end, are
‘aware of the importance it mast as-
sume as an east and west link the day
it is opened up for traffic. It will de-
velop sections of Clearfield, Clinton
and Centre counties, which are rich
with resqurces yet shut off from the
world of commerce as though they
were in a foreign land, and greatly in-
, |crease the facilities for letting out
0u already enormous traffic originating in
| that section of the State,
The Clearfield Republican, in describ.
ing the proposed new riilroad, says in
“A new railroad is to be built
Hit a scheme devised to pull the legs of
other lines. This railroud is a genuine
| enterprise intended to pot ligitimate
| profits in the pockets of the stockhold-
ers. It is the railroad that should have
‘been the first to have entered Clears
‘fleld county, because it will follow
nature's grade, the water grade of the
| West Branch of the Susquenanna.”

THE SHARKEY-CORBETT FIGHT.
The falior Gets the Dueision Over Corbett
on a Foul,
The Sharkey-Corfett fight, which
wan witnessed at New York Tuesday
night by the largest and most repre-
sentative gathering of sporting men
that ever congregated to see a ring
contest, ended in a most disgraceful
fiasco st the Lenox Athletic club. Corb-
ett had all the worst of the encounter,
when one of his seconds, “Connie”
Mo Vey, jamped into ‘the ring, appeal-
ing to the referee, thus violating the
rules, and the referee, “Honest Joba"
Kelley, had no alternative but to dis
qualify Corbett and award the bout to
Sharkey.
McVey's interference was absolutely
inexcusable, and the referve, believing |
that there was ‘job’ in McVey's action |
! took it upon himself to declare all bets
