FRANK G&.TES WHIPS MIKE "idMcGEE WITH SKIN GLOVES.

It Was An Interesting Contest of An Hour and a Hall—General Pugilistic News.

A few persons from this city went to

B«i. o»«»t-h 7-todv. to witness a fight between Mike McGee, the "Alabama Cyclone," and Harry Gates, a harness-maker in Brazil. McGee is a rolling mill man, and came from 1 Birmingham, Ala., some time ago, ,'s and will probably remain in this part of the country." Going tb Brazil jjthe small party of about ton persons 5 from this city WBB joined by a party of several hundred, in vehicles of ail kinds sand on horse back and the processions •••jj moved rapidly during the early morning I to a pretty knole on the southern border of Parke county, about three-quarters of a mile from the county line. Each spectator of the two hundred present paid a dollar to the managers and the fight was begun about 6 a. m. McGee is 19 years old, and weighed 1G2 pounds. Gates is .. 27 years old, and weighed 150 pounds.

The fight was with skin-tight gloves. McGee was seconded by Mike Gainey, of this city, and Gates by Joseph Riwe, of Brazil. Both men were in excellent condition, and each felt confident of victory, McGaa by reason of his size, and Gates by bis activity.and head work. The fight lasted for twenty-six rounds and was a hard fought one. Both men had been in the ring on previous occasions and knew how to manage a fight. McGee led the fighting during the first twenty rounds and proved himself to be a hard bitter, but he could not land well. Gates was too wary. McGee brought Gates to his knees in the third round, which was the first knockdown, and he attempted to follow by striking Gates when down, but the referee called a foul on him, and announced that he would have no foul play. This annouucement was greeted with applause by the audienoe, and gave Gatee to understand that he would have ample time to win tbe fight if he could outwind his antagonist. McGee also drew first blood in tbe tenth round, but shortly afterwards Gates landed a swinging left-hander on McGee's nose and eye, which almost knocked him out. MoGae was stunned by the blow, but after a momentary trembling recovered, and finished the round. th men fought for each other's bodies, but Gates was nim bier, and escaped punishment. If Gates had been an adept at recovering after escaping a body blow from his antagonist and had taken advautagiof the openings left, he oould have won tbe fight in much less time. But he was too slow in improving such opportunities. At the beginning of the twenty-first round McGee began to spar for time to recover wind, but Gates pushed the fighting then and prevented these tactics. In the twentysixth round Gates landed a swinging right-hander on McGee's body, and won the fight. Gates struck fewer blows throughout, but landed oftener. Both men were severely bruised about the body, and their eyes were swelling badly when the fight closed and Gato3 was declared wianer. The spectators remained quiet during the fight, which lasted an hour and thirty minutes. There was considerable betting, but no odds were given, and the betting was done quietly.

The referee was a man from this city who is something of a pugilist himself, and who knowB the good and bad points of a fighter from praotice he has had in glove contests. He was chosen as referee because those managing ]|the fight wanted to see a fight to a finish. The fighters will probably meet Bgain in the near future, as McGae is of the opinion that he can whip Gates.

A Fourteen-Kouud Fight.

HURLEY, Wis., June 23—About nine hundred people witnessed last night a hard and bloody battle between Joe Sheehy and Frank Kellar, of Rhinelander, Wis. The fight lasted for fourteen rounds. The first four rounds ended without advantage for either man, but tn the fifth Sheehy got in several heavy right-handers on Keller's

neck,

making him very groggy.

In the eighth Sheehy sent in a driver on Keller's jaw, knocking him down, but he succeeded in coming up when time was called. In the succeeding rounds Sheehy did all the fighting, Kellar going down repeatedly to avoid punishment. In the thirteenth the audienoe and Sheehy beoame disgusted and the referee gave the fight to Sheehy in the fourteenth.

The SulUvan-Kllrain Battle Ground. NEW YORK, June 23.—Frank Steven­

son, Mike Donovan and Wm. H. Harding, of the Police Gazette, Jake Kilrain's backer, left this city this morning (by the Baltimore & hio for New Orleans. Their mission & to select a battle ground for the Sullivan-Kilrain fight which comes off July 8.)

The War on St. Louis Gaiublera. ST, LOUIS, June 23.—The war on the

gamblers, inaugurated by the police board, is at last being vigorously pushed. Jjast night twenty-nine "tin horse" fames were raided and some seventy-five arrests made. It has been the custom to release the gamblers on bail, but this rule was changed last night and the oulprits were sent to the hold-over charged v:,a having committed a felony. Vice seident Overall and

Commissioners Tu. rand Small, of the police board, were *.»n Chief of Police Huebler at headquarters and witnessed the results of the midnight raid srith evident satisfaction. This big raid, following close upon the indictment of the faro bank men, Singleton Cave, Wm. Montague and Tom Walsh, has put a decided damper on the gamblers.

A Boulangerlst Bow.

PARTS, June 23.—Rival meetings were held at Beziers to-day by supporters of the government and friends of General Boulanger. After the meetings the two narties came into oollieion and had a hand to hand fight. Deroulede, who was with the Boulangerists, was arrested,

IS OIL PLAYIXG OUTT

Prof. Carll, of the Pennsylvania Geological Surrey, Takes a Gloomy Ylew Special Dispatch to the Globe-Democrat

NEW YORK, Jane 22.—John F. Carll is latent geologist of the state of Pennsylvania, and for several years it has been his especial business to collect statistics and all available information regarding petroleum and natural gas. Prof. Carll lives at Pleasantviile, Venango county, Pa., in the heart of the great petroleum fields, and has had opportunities of making a careful study of the great oil industry. His geological reports made for the state are invaluable to the trade, and are eagerly sought

pressed to the writer some rather sensa tional opinions regarding the future supply of petroleum. Notwithstanding other views are taken by producers, Prof. Carll says the petroleum fields of Pennsylvania are being rapidly drained, and at the present rate of Exhaustion it will not be many yearsuntil tbe question of supplying the world with petroleum will be a most serious one. "For the past year," said Prof. Carll, "the supply was 5,000,000 barrels short of the demand, as gauged by former years, and every day the demand is more and the supply much less. A few years ago the reverse was the case. Stocks were piling up at the rate of 2,000,000 barrels per month, or about that, and now they are being decreased at the rate of 1,000,000 barrels a month, and have been for the past year. This shortage in tbe supply includes the large production of the Ohio fields, where extraordinary re suits have been obtained in the way of large wells." There are now something like twelve million barrels of petroleum in tanks in the Ohio field, but this was because Ohio oil was not yet used extensively ss an illuminsnt

Professor Carll was asked his opinion regarding the probable extent of the Ohio field, and said he believed it would be found much less in extent than the trade and the public generally believed. There have been opinions expressed that the yield of the Ohio fields could be increased to 100,009 barrels a day. He thought it would not last long at this rate of production. "When thie field comes to be entirely refined," he said, "It is pretty sure to fall very much below the expectations that are now held out for it." When asked if he thought Ohio oil would ever be successfully refined and enter the market as a competitor of the Pennsylvania product, he said: "I certainly hope so. Without this oil I can not see where the world's supply is to oome from, and it would be a very great hardship to the people if they had to give up this cheap and popular illuminant. Neither gas nor electricity, in my judgment, can ever take its place as a means of illumination for the masses. And yet, with the known fieldB being as rapidly exhausted as they are, I look before many years for a great scarcity of petroleum." Bradford was the field that produced such an extraordinary quantity of oil, piling up the stocks in tanks until they reached 36,000,000 barrels, with the field still yielding 60,000 barrels a day or thereabouts. In regard to the possibility of another such field being discovered, Prof. Carll said he believed there was absolutely no likelihood of it. The number of experimental wells that had been drilled in search of another Bradford sand in all parts of the country, seemed to establisn the fact that Bradford was unique and alone. He did not believe that such a petroleum deposit as this would ever be found in any country in the world. The Bradford field and its annex in Alleghany county, N. Y., are apparently being drained to tbe dregs. At one time tbe production of the field was as high as 105,000 barrels every twenty-four hours. Now it is down below 20,000, possibly as low as 18,000 barrels. Bradford has produced about 56,000,000 barrels of oil, and a pool that will yield the fifty-sixth part of this is something that the oil producer is eagerly looking for. Professor Carll said there were yet possibilitiee of opening up small pools that would produce from 1,000,000 to 3,000,000 barrels, even in some of the old fields, such as Venango, Warren and Butler counties, in Pennsylvania, but even these possibilities were growing more and more remote. The Cogley field, which has produced about 3,000,000 barrels, was the last extensive field found in Venango county, and this was perhaps as large a field as would ever be found there again.

Considerable exploring has been done in Kentucky for petroleum, and Prof. Carll was asked his opinion in regard to the likelihood of oil being found in that state in paying quantities. He thought from his observations in that state that Kentucky would yet produce considerable oil, but nothing in comparieon with Pennsylvania. The oil-bearing sands underlie a portion of Kentucky and lap over into Tennessee, and here petroleum would be found, but in limited quantities. As to Texas, he was of the opinion that experiments there would never be profitable. Prof. Carll, before he became connected with the geological survey, went into Texas, in Nacogdoches county, to superintend the drilling of an experimental well there for a company of capitalists who had great faith in the country, because of alluring surface indications of oil. After drilling a well or two and noting the various strata of rock, he was oonvinoed that petroleum in paying quantities would not be found there. Tne oompany decided, however, to prosecute tee work, and only abandoned it after spending $50,000 without any return. This was very soon after the early disooveries in Pennsylvania, and sinoe that time other capitalists nave oontinued experiments from time to time with not very gratifying results. Two companies, composed largely of New Orleans ousinees men, are new drilling wells in Naoogdoches county, out so far there has been no money made at it. One company opened up a well that produced 100 barrels a day of a lubricating oil. Two or three other I good wells were soon struck in the same vicinity, and this encouraged the oompany to expend a large amount of money in building a pipe linetoget their oil to a railroad, some seventeen miles but the wells soon ceased to yield, and the expensive pipe line hss never had a barrel of oil pumped through it The three or four wells had exhausted the pool, and twenty-five or thirty wells drilled sinoe have not opened up another rich spot, and probably fifty wells will not.

The opinion expressed by Prof* Carll that the great oil fields oannot much longer be relied upon to supply the world with a cheap illuminant is likely to set commercial people thinking.

TERRE HAUTE,

A GREAT GAME OF BASE Bill. I

The Largest Crowd of the Season Sees Terre Haute Defeat Danville.

ALL THE RUNS MADE IN TWO OF THE INNINGS.

An Errorless Game by the Home Players—The Batting Order To-day.

Not less than fifteen hundred witnessed an excellent game of ball the park yesterday. Tickets for adults and sixty minors were sold and least two hundred deadheads were the grounds. The grand stand held persons, when there is seating capacil for but 400. The bfeaching boards covered and many sat on the ground. The rivalry between the two dabs not only drew four car loads of persons from Danville, but also one oar load from Paris, 400 in all on the excursion train which came down over the C. V. & C. from Danville to Paris and over the T. H. & P. here. Although the home club obtained a good lead in the third inning, yet the beet of playing was required to prevent the Danvillee from winning. In the first inning Wslsh scored for the Danvillee, getting his base on balls, and being brought in by Roat's two-bagger. After that they never got a man to third. Oa the other hand, the home club was not able to score until the third inning, when they made four runs. Dougan was put out at the home plate, in the fourth inning, by a good play.

The following is the score:

The following is the schedule so far as has been made out: The honors were even on double plays one for each team.

The Crescents were victorious over the Psstimee by a score of.ten to three. Mohawks defeated the Picnics yeeterday by a score of thirty-six to twelve.

The home club expected to bat Hall out of the box, but they couldn't find the ball very often.

Cod Myers, of the WaBhingtons, came over from Indianapolis yeeterday to see his friends at home play ball.

Burke's running catch of Lotz' long fiy to center field was as pretty a play as was made on the grounds.

Dougan and Schneider area great battery. They play ball with their heads as well as their hands, and are not excitable.

Terre Haute will play at home on the Fourth of Juiy with a nine compoeed of the ressrve nine ef the Indianapolis league club.

A feature of the game was O'Brien at short stop. It seemed that he could get a fiy at any point in the diamond and he was a sure man.

Dougan took too much risk in attempting to score in the fourth inning when he was thrown out at home plate. He made third the out when the basse were full.

One of the DanvillianB lost more than two hundred and.fifty dollare on the gams* but it was understood that the money represented a purse made up on the way to thie city.

The visitors on Sundays get 40 per cent and on week days the guarantee of $35, this because Terre Haute haa all Sundays at home. There will be no Sunday games at Champaign or Danville.

The manager of the Cincinnati clnb was arrested yesterday by the Law and Order society, who are trying to close the saloons and stop the playing of base ball on Sunday. A test case will be made.

O'Brien played a great game at abort stop yeeterday. He caught a foul fly at third base, and a fair fly that passed beyond second base, and was always where he was most needed. He struck the ball twice out of four chances at the bat.

Hall struck out three of the home olub in the first and two in the aeoond inning and this, with the eoore by Welch in the first, made the prospects

Tons Cannon's

Dick Cannon, of Danville, accompanied the "coming champions" to this city yesterday to witness their defeat by' the home club. He made a record for himself befoae leaving the city. He lost heavDr on the game. He hired a horse and buggy from Mr. W. T. Beauchamp's stable, on south Sixth street after -the game and when he returned-the rig and Mr. Beauchamp wanted the pay young Cannon displayed the money and told Mr. Beauchamp to call at the hotel and collect. He. started to go away when Mr. Beauchamp caught him by the am and in return Cannon struck him. The pugilist was arreeted and had not arrived at the atation house until he was capiased by. a man who claimed to have loaned him some money once upon a time, and wished to recover the loan, inasmuch as he understood that Cannon had been betting considerable money. He was allowed to go home on the excursion train after promising to return for trial to-day. In this instance misfortunes did not oome singly.

The President and Mrs. Harrison Disappoint a Crowd «rcharch Goers, CAPE MAY, Juns 23—A great many

psople were disappointed this morning because the president and Mrs. Harrison did not worship at the Presbyterian Church here, as a rumor that they would do so had gone abroad. It had been arranged, however, that the presidential party should attend service at the Beadle Memorial Presbyterian Church at Cape May point, which stands directly on the beach, within a stone's throw of the Wanamaker cottage. It not being very widely known, the beautiful little edifice was not uncomfortably crowded. It was two minutes of eleven when the president, Mrs. Harrison, Mr. Wanamaker, Mrs. Harrison's father and the Rev. Dr. Wylie came in. Dr. Wylie is psstor of the Brbnd street Preebyterian Church, Philadelphia, and officiated on this occasion. Mrs. Harrison's father, the Rev. Dr. Scott, sat behind the sacred desk with Dr. Wylie. The pulpit was nicsly decorated with blooming plante. The preeident and wife occupied the second pew immediately in front of the epesker, Mr. Wanamaker in the right. Led by a small choir, the services began by singing ''Praise God from Whom All Bleesings Flow," followed by a short prayer by the officiating clergyman. Hymn eighty-three of the Church hymnal was then sung, beginning "Safely through another week God has brought us on our way." Ths scriptural lssson rend was from the sixteenth chapter of Acts, beginning at the ninth verse. The venerable Dr. Scott then offer, a prayer, in which our land and nation, its preeident and the government officials were remembered. After the singing. Dr. Wylie announced his text, found in Philippiana fourth and nineteenth, "But my God shall supply your needs accordingto his richss in Christ, Jesus."

Ths sermon was an able discourse, delivered without notes, and listened to with closs attention by the president and Mrs. Harrison. After singing "God Bless Our Native Land," the services clossd with the benediction, pronounced by Dr. Scott. Beadle Memorial Church was built by Mr. Wanamaker, several years since, in memory of Eliss R. Beadle, D. D., LL. D. After returning from church Preeident and Mrs. Harrison and Mrs. Wanamaker took seats on the veranda, over which the cool, refreshing ssa breezes softly played. Wm. V. MoKeen, of the Philadelphia Ledger, and one or two other gentlemen were the only callers, it having been both the president's and Mr. Wanamaksr's desire that only a few personal friends be admitted to-day. To-morrow forenoon, it ia understood, the presidsnt will reosive all who may wish to call. From all the eurrounding oountry to day, visitors have oome to catch a glimpse of Cape May's distinguished gussts. At 1 o'clock to-morrow the preeident will leave for Washington in Vice Preeident Sewell's private car, but has promised to return on Saturday.

The Turners at Cincinnati.

CINCINNATI, June 24.—The attendance at the turners' athletic exercises on the campus to-day was immense. There must have been twelve thousand spectators pressnt. The exercisess continued all day from early morning till night, half a dozen sections performing simultaneously. The exercises closed with a mass performance in which 1,200 turners in uniform, assisted by an orchestra and ma^nnerchoir of 200 voices, participated. This was a staff exercise executed to the music of an orchestra. After it was over this body of men closed in mass, sang a song compoeed for the occasion in which they were assisted by the manerchoir. The effect of 1,400 male voices united in song in the open air was inspiring to the great audisnce whoss applause, when it was over, was deafening. It was an sxperienoe that few men have ever had—that of listening to such'an immense maennerchoir, and the performance had in it the elements of the sublime. The first note was struck gallantly in accord by the great chorus, and the volume of tone and the time and shading were sustained throughout. To-night more than a score of banquets are in progress in the city.
