BEATEN AGAIN BY DETROIT The Indianapolis Club Badly Defeated in the Third Game of the Series, The Detroit Tlajers Improtinff the Orportuniir to Kaise Their Batting Averages Chicsffo ijrain Beaten by Tittsbarff. pMrtal te the IndUnaeolli Journal, Detroit. Mich., Mar 7. -The last same of the Detroit-Indianapolis Mtiwwu ft veritable slugK,nr match, so far ss the Detroits were concerned. Dunlap. the first men t bet in the flr.t Inning, bit the bell far over Chili's heed for three bases, end Rows followed with a home rnn in the same dirction. These bite were samples of whet followed. Kirby bed complained of a ore arm before join into the came, and the contest bad not progressed far when be evidently saw that he bad a hopeless task before him in trying to hold the "WolTerinee down, and be finishtd the game by eimply tossing the ball over the plate. It was a great opportunity for the heavy-hitters of the Detroits to work up their batting average, and they made the best of it. With the bases given on called balls, twenty one bits, with a total of thirty-fire, were knocked out by the Detroits. Twice, when the basse were full, Thompson eleared them by eendiDg the baft into the right field for triples. Danlap hit two in the same direction for the same number of bases, and UOW0 Twitcbell and Dunlap made doubles. Dnelap led the hitting for the Detroits, bavins total of ten bases. Twitchell was put in the box for the Detroits, and acquitted himself in ' better form than at any previous time since he has been with the club. The Tisiton were credited with but nine single hits, and three of these were bases on balls. He had excellent command ct the ball, and did some splendid hitting when it was hie turn at bat Seme good fielding was done on both sides, Rowe making a great stop of a botly bit ball from Glasscock's bat, and Denny made one of bie celebrated left-handed stops of a swift grounder. McGeachy bad plenty of work to do in center field, and did it well, Thompson and Hanlon caught a difficult fly each, and Thompson made a double play on bis that eaught the grand stand, by throwing Bassett out at third. The umpiring of Quest was fairly good, ia the main, but he did the visitors an injustice when he failed to call Hanlon out in the fifth inniDg on a play at the plate. It made a difference of three runs in favor of the Detroits, as that many men scored after Hanlon, and the Detroit center-fielder should haye been the third man out The Indianapolis team made their only two runs in the fourth on Sbomberg's base on balls, McGeachy's bit, and Hackett's bit into the air, which Thompson could have got, but both he and Dunlap tan for It, and each supposed the other would get it The ball dropped beween them, and both men oa bases scored. The attendance was about four thousand. Score:

Pittsburg hit Clarkson bard and often to-day. They gauged his slow delivery from the fifth inning, and pounded it until the Chicago fielders were tired. Galvin was not very effective in the box, but be did some good work with the stick. The home run it-ires of Pfeffer, Clarkson and Ryan were the longest ever seen on the grounds, while the three-base hits of Carroll were to the extreme end of the grounds. The features of the fielding were Smith's work at short, and Pfeffer and Anson's double plays. The weather waa beautiful and pleasant, and 6.0OO people were present. Score: PITTSBCBCJ. CHICAGO.

Casey pitched a strong game from the start, only three scattering hits being made from bis delivery, while GUmore, who was wild, waa touched up for thirteen bits, five being bases on balls. The game began in the rain, which dri tiled until the sixth inning, when a heavy shower set in and the game waa called. There were no special features. Score: WASHINGTON.

BOSTON, 10; NEW YORK, 4 Nxw York, May 7. The Bostons won their first game from the Giants to-day. The day was disagreeable, as a drizzling rain fell during the entire time ot the contest. The local team played excellently up to the seventh inning, when they went all to pieces. The five runs made in that inning by Boston were partly the result of a rallying crv that Captain Kellv called to bis men.

St. Louis, May 7 The Browns won their third successive victory over Louisville to-day, defeating them after a hard and exciting game. Up to the seventh inning Hecker was not hit hard, but in this inning the champions pounded him for six singles, and with three men on bases O'Neill again drove the ball over the extreme left field fence for a home run, duplicating his hit of the day previous. O'Neill made a safe hit every time he went to bat. The Browns' magnificent base-running again came into play, with excellent effect. The best features of the game were O'Neill's bitting, Bnshong's back-stop work, and Kerins'a first-base playing.

Cleveland, May 7. The home team had scored five runs in the sixth inning to-day, with two men out and Hoatling on second, when the visitors raised a wrangle and delayed the game until it was called on account of rain. This gave the Cincinnati club a victory in a five-inning game. The diamond was soggy, and a drizzling rain fell at intervals during the game, necessitating a rail of "time" in the last half of the third inniny. Mullane was hit all over the field in the sixth, and Morrison was unsteady and wild, but he was handsomely supported by Rtiinschlager. Baldwin's wrangling was the principal feature of the game. Umpire Cuthbert threatened him with a tine of $25. Attendance, U.OOO. Score: Cleveland 1 O O 1 02 Cincinnati 2 U O 4 06 Earned runs Cincinnati. 5; Cleveland, 1.

The Athletics redeemed themseves to-day, playing superbly in the field and batting wltn effect. Hart pitched in excellent form, holding the Baltimores down to four genuine hits. The home team made a pretty triple play in the seventh. Griffin reached first on a fumb'.e by Bierbauer, and went to second on Larkin's muff of Davis's fly. Kilrov was given first on balls, filling the bases. Trott raired a fly to left, which Larkin caught, and, by a good throw to Mefiarry, retired f)avis. Griffin had started for horn? as soon as Trott's fly had been causht by Larkin. but he was thrown out at the plate by McGarr.

It was confidently expected by the directors of the home club that their players would get a game out of the Detroit series. Some were sanguine that the account on the Indianapolis grounds in favor of the Detroits would be balanced, but their loyalty to home affairs exceeded their judgment. Yesterday's game eon tinned the d. sectors in an opinion they have entertained for some time that another battery is needed. Reliance they think cannot be placed upon Kirby and Healey to give the team a creditable position in the games abroad. There is talk of procuring another pitcher, and yesterday there were several consultations on this point. If any particular man or men are in view, tho directors are not willing to make their names known, but it is surmised that Sweeney, of the Clevelands, and Larry Corcoran are on the list. The possibility of obtaining Van Holtan. the California man. is suggested. When the new pitcher is secured Kirby and Healey ought to come home for practice. Two Classes or Ratters. Hanlon, of the Detroits. says: "There are two classes of batters. There is one class that will go up to the plate and wait, and there is another that will hit at anything. Of course it is evident that the waiter will get his base on balls of tener than the man who is a free hitter. The free batter will step up and crack at anything that he thinks he can reach, and the pitcher, knowing this, will kep him reaching for Dalls on the corner of the plate. I claim that he gets fewer chances to hit a good ball. A waiter will make the pitcher put the ball somewhere near him, and if the twirler is a little wild the batsman gets the best of it. If he is sharp he will get a good opportunity to line the ball out into the field, because, if the pitcher is a good one, his inclination is to put the ball fair, in hopes that the batsman will not strike at it and the una pire will call him out. You see there is a great deal to be said on my side which I would give you if I had the time. I think the rule ought to be given a fair test before it is rescinded." Anson's Advice to the Players. Bat the ball as I size it up to you; Smack it in the nose; But if you bat it as you did in Pittsburg I had as lief the Evanstons played for me. Nor do not fan the air too much with your stioksthus, But use them nervily As Cleveland does the veto power. Or Mayor Roche the club he now swings on the levee. Ob, it offends me to the soul To see a $-,000 salaried professional Beating the zephyrs into slivers Trying to knock the cover off a Spalding balL You're fined $25 all 'round, and Hark, there's the belli Go, get you ready! ... Chicago Mail. Base-Ball Notes. Nashville, they say, wants Nolan. Poorman heads the batting list of the Athletics. Anson will go into the ball manufacturing business with Spalding. Ted Sullivan is au applicant for the position of Association umpire. Williams, manager of the Cleveland Club, is stil after the release of Reddy Mack. The games played by the Harvards in Cambridge this season have been financial failures. Learv. formerly of the fetroit and Indianapolis clubs, has signed to play in New Haven. The Phillies wsnt Shindle. of Detroit, for emergency man. It if said New York is also after him. The Philadelphia are in a bad way. Mulvey, Bastain and Andrews are more or less disabled. Nolan, the once famous pitcher, and John Kelly, bis catcher, are dtsengaged in Paterson. N. J. It is like looking out of a balloon watching the game from the press box at the Philadelphia grounds. George W. Bradley, manager of the Nashville club, is looking for a pitcher, second-baseman and shortstop. The nine of the Deans Steam Pump Works defeated the Insane Hospital nine yesterday by a score of 20 to 2. Watrous. in reorganizing the Metropolitans, proposes to put Meister in right field and Esterbrook in center. Basset hal thirty-one chances to make errors in a recent series, but came out with a clean score in that respect. Harry Wright intends now to pnt either Casey or Buffinton into the box in the opening game at Boston tomorrow. John G. Valentine has been appointed as umpire of the American Association, taking the place of Ai. Bauer, resigned. The Alleghenies are having hard luck in getting off their scheduled games with Chicago. They now have three to play off. Manager Chapman, of Detroit, says that Galviu will be one of the most effective pitchers in the League under the new rules. The Boston Herald thinks that aa injury to Bushong would at once put the St, Louis Browns out of the championship race. It is said that Coleman, of the Pittsburgs, can run the bases in sixteen seconds. Morris and Handiboo can do it in seventeen. George Smith, the well-known sprinter, ran the bases on trial at Pittsburg recently. He covered the diamond in 14 seconds. The traveling expenses of the Baltimore team this season will be abou- $.000, and the receipts from guarantees about $ 1 500. The Fall River Nws says the Chieagos. without Kelly. Gore and Dalrymple. are about as effective as the Mayflower would be without a centerboard. Oilman, of the Torontos. Is a very queer slider, says the Rochester Herald. He goes feet first and slides on his heels. He always locks his feet together. Roseman is said to want bis release from the Athletics, and it is asserted that he can get it by making good the bonus paid to the Mets for his services. Macager Kelly, of the Louisvilles. says that he will protest every game in which Mullane. of the Cineinnatis, pitches. He claims that his delivery is illegal. It is thought that if the New Yorks had secured McCormiek, Weidman and King they would have done much better tbau with the experiments they now hare. A Boston base-ball reporter says: "I would like to ee a little more beef in tfiat Indianapolis team. They could have greatlv bettered their strength by securing Poorman and Buffinton. Buffinton can field or Manager Wright would not pnt him in thas territory. Besides, both can outbat Cahill and McGeachy. Cabal! and McGeachy are good men, but they are not re-.

liable batsmen. What makes it appear more strange.

these players could have been secured for a compara tive song. It takes l.OOO men. 500 on each side, to plav a col lege ball game. Nine of each 500 play ball and 491 yell, ine yelling is quite as important as the playing, and the yellers work just as hard. There never was such a base-ball craze at Yale Col lege as there is this season. Besides the universitv. freshman and consolidated nines, there are five class nines, a reserve nine, law-school nine and theological nine. Joe Manning commenced playing with the Bostons wnen tie was nineteen years old. and be has been playing professionally thirteen years. He is now in his thirty-third year, but his gray locks make him look more than torty. Hudson, the pitcher, is expected to join the St. Louis Browns this week. If he does, it is said. King wij be released to the tUevelands, but on der Ahe asserts that he will, under no circumstances, allow him to leave St. Louis. They charge a twenty-five cent admission to the games in Philadelphia, but they manage to get fifty cents out of nearly everybody who goes to the game bv having so beautiful a grand stand, with such comfortable opera chairs, that they are glad to pay twentynve cents extra. In the Philadelphia press vote on the positions of the League clubs at the end of the season, the vote for first place was: Detroit, 2.291: Chicago. 772: Philadelphia. 419; New York, 112: Boston. 92; Pittsburg. 37; Indianapolis and Washington, 2 each. The list as elected is: 1. Detroit: 2. Chicago; 3. Philadelphia; 4, Boston; 5. Pittsburg; 6, New York; 7, Indianapolis; 8, Washington. New York Clipper: Contrast the League with the American Association to-dar. Never was the contrast more unfavorable to the latter. The Clevelands and Metropolitans are wofully weak, and are already a dead weight upon the others. In th League no club is disproportionately strong. The Detroits had their hands full to win in Indianapolis and if Indianapolis is the League infant how are they going to fare with the stronger clubs? A correspondent of the Clipper says: ''I have remarked the terriffic hitting that has been going on in both League and Association, and have been wondering if this would lead to the abolition of the fourstrikes and bring matters back to five balls and three strikes. This would doubtleis tickle old pitchers immensely. The colleges did a wise thing to adopt the six-ball rule. Yet their games are still pitching games, as is shown by the facttbat Stagg struck out ton men Saturday. The colleges, of all leagues, should favor the batsmen, who are generally very weak, and need all the chance to hit the ball that they can get." Captain Anson, when asked By a Chicago Tribune reporter what he thought of the playing of the Indianapolis club, said: ''They are playing good ball. They played good ball when they wore in St. Louis, and they are stronger now than they were last year. They have Bassett on second base, and he piays bail all the time, and when they have Boyle in the box and Myers behind the bat thev have very near as strong a team as there is in the League. The Detroit club played lucky ball at Indianapolis. They ought to have lost two out of the three games they played there. The scores and all the reports show it, and still they won all three " The Boston Globe thus describes the deportment of the crowd at the game between the Bostons and Washingtons at Washington last 'Saturday: "Those 4.000 people enjoyed themselves hugelv. They cheered the brilliant plays on both sides, yelled themselves hoarse when the $10,000 beauty struck out, got up and shouted like mad when any one of the loeal players made a hit. hissed Burdock because he tnmbied over a man at second and prevented him from running to third, laughed in a rather heartless manner when a foul hit the umpire in the neck and nearly struck him out, and had Quaker meeting whenever Boston scored a run."

A Well That promises a Greater Volume of Gas Than Any let Sank in Indiana. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Anderson. May 7. Greater excitement was never known in Andersen than exists bere this evening. When, a few weeks ago, gas waa struck in well No. 1, and it was found that at a depth of eighty-seven feet in the Trenton rock a greater flow of gas was secured than in any other well in the State, our people were carried away with enthusiasm. But this morning, when it was learned that Trenton rock had been reached last night ia well No. 2, "being drilled by N. C. McCullougb, every one in the city vas eager and anxious to know what the result would be when drilling should be resumed by daylight When Trenton rock was reached last night and gas began to flow, work was immediately suspended and all fires extinguished. This morning, as soon as steam was up, drilling was again resumed. All day long, until 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Mr. Cole, the contractor, and his efficient corps of workmen, pushed down the well. The flow of gas constantly increased until the drill had penetrated Trenton rock about twenty feet, and the pressure from the well was such that it seemed impossible to make the drill strike with sufficient force to penetrate further. The ponderous drill, weighing 3,600 pounds, seemed but a feather's weight as it was being removed for the last time. The noise of the escapinegas, which had almost been deafening, seemed to increase ten fold as the rope and drill were being removed. Then commenced the work of undertaking to confine, to some extent, this wonderful force of nature.- It was evident that the flow could not be limited to the usual openings allowed even in the strongest wells and an additional hole was drilled into the cap which was to be placed upon it, so that three two-inch-pipes could be attached. Two of these were easily connected while the top was open, but when it came to placing on the top into which another two-inch-pipe was inserted, it almost baffled the power and skill of the workmen, with three two-inch openings for the gas to escape through, it required the combined weight of six men standing upon the 'irons attached to the top to hold it in place while it could be fastened. Two pipes are run out over White river, and one at the top of the derrick, and the roar of escaping gas is deafening, while the flames leap high toward heaven. Men who have seen the celebrated Kan; well at Findlay. O. , pronounce this one even stronger, and the Fairmount well has scarcely been "king for a day," being greatly surpassed by her near neighbor. Mr. McCullough is highly pleased with his well, and is anxious to sink it deeper if such could be done, but this seems impossible. That Anderson has a ereat and prosperous future before is now assured beyond all question. Many strangers in the city have been waiting to see the outcome of this well, and slow to predict that no city in Indiana has such a promising prospect as has Anderson. Piping the city will be commenced by Mr. McCullough at once, as he had already plaeed . his order for pipe to be shipped upon his telegraphing therefor. Losses by Fire.

THE A. & P. WRECK. Particulars of the Recent Accident Near Daggett Station List of Injured Passengers.

Albcqcerque, N. M., May 7. Owing to the telegraph embargo, the particulars of the disastrous wreck of Wednesday on the Atlantic & Pacific railroad, forty miles east of Daggett Station, have just reached here. The east-bound passenger tain, which was three hours behind time and running at the rate of forty miles au hour, ran into an arroyo, the bridge having been burned, leaving the rails in place. The engine passed over, but the jar threw the fireman ous of the cab. The tender went through into a shallow arroyo, forming a barricade against which the cars ran with terrific force. The mail car turned completely around, standing across the track. The baggage and express cars were thrown twenty feet from the track to the right and turned over. Two passenger-cars were derailed, but the two Pullman cars remained on the track. A scene cf frightful confusion ensued, no one believing the passengers in the overturned cars would escape death. The fireman. Charles Smith, was picked up unconscious, with a leg broken, spine injured, and internal injuries. He is not expected to recover. Among the injured passengers rescued from the wrecked cars are: Mr. Snyder, of Walla Walla, W. T., terrible scalp wound; Henry C. Hanson, cut and bruised about the head; Ed Thornton, eontused head: A. Seeles, broken lec; Len Beard, lee mashed; P. Edwards, fractured arm; Mrs. McMillan, an aged lady, 6pinal contusion; P. J. Green, mail agent, shoulder dislocated, and several others more or less injured. LABOR INTERESTS. The Stove Manufacturers' Defense Association Orders a Lock-Out of Moldrrs. Detroit, May 7. A few weeks ago, when the stove molders throughout the country quit work because they were ordered to woric on the patterns of a St. Louis firm whose tren bad struck for an advance in wages, the men in this city remained at work. It was claimed by the molders that the manufacturers had schemed for a strike in order to raise prices. and have the blame thrown on the men. On Wednesday of this week the Manufacturers' Defense Association held a secret meeting in this city. To-day, in obedience to orders promulgated at that time, the Michigan, Detroit and Peninsular stove companies shut down, throwing 2,800 men out of work. It is thought the Cincinnati factories were also ordered " closed, the men there having returned to work on the objectionable patterns. A New and Important Movement. Pittsburg, May 11. For several weeks past a quiet movement has been going on in labor circles, which, if allowed to fully develop, will bring the biggest kind of a reaction among trade organizations' and union officials. The ntn- movement is the direct result of the bad blood between the Amalgamated Association and the Knights of Labor, and is nothing less than a thoroughly-discussed scheme to pull the latter crcanization out of the Trades Assembly of Western Pennsylvania. A prominent member cf the Amalgamated who was seen to-day jrave the following: "The Pittsburg Kniehts of Labor, while they profess the kindest sentiments toward tho Amalgamated Association, are making every effort to -work against us. They are orjjniziiig the new iron district and otherwise encroaching on our jjound. The Trades Assembly is apparently run by Knight of Labor influence, but the iron workers form the backbone of the organization. The Knights had attempted several jobs to enforce the recognition of organised labor, out they never had any success until, through the Trades Assembly, they secured the help of the ironworkers. Now we are talking of taking our delegates out of the Trades Assembly, and letting the Knights see what they can do with an organization which represents only themselves." DAILY WEATBEK BULLETIN.

' The Jonrral hit the nail very evenly on the head, in Monday's issue, in its description of the methods of the Tomjobnson Street-car Company in "working- a City Council. It very properly sized up toe averago Indianapolis city

father as a third-rate citizen, who don't own much property and couldn't keep it if he bad any; one who bas been a financial failure all bis life, and to whom a new and crisp five-hund reddollar bill produces a paralyzing effect. This class of .men have usually been in the ascendency in the city government. Another class, who frequently are elected to the Council are honest citizens and good-natured chumps, who wouldn't be bribed, and would resent an offer of money with proper indignation, but are as easily molded into the interests of an unscrupulous corporation as a piece of dough in the hands of a baker. A little taffy, a little patronage, the opportunity to purchase some socood-rate live stock at half-price, and the vigorous support of the company at the polls are all potent influences. The sweet blarney of the affable Thomas, his gushing liberality, etc.. invariably captures them, and they would vote the company anything asked for.

CUT WITH A RAZOR. Thomas Boylan Erm Down by a PrnnVen Crowd and Probably Fatallj Injured. Thomas Boylan, the eighteen-year-old son of Patrick Boylan, residing at No. 302 South Tennessee street, was dangerously, and perhaps fatally, cut with a razor by John McNamara, at 11 o'clock last night, near the corner of West and Maryland streets. Young Boylan left home ar9 o'clock in the evening to take a walk with several other young men, who were going down West street, near Conrad Linden's saloon. No. 95 South West street, where there was a crowd of a half dozen or more under the influence of liquor. "That's the crowd we want to lick," said one of the number standing in front of the saloon, and they all started toward Boylan and his com panions, who ran. The drunken crowd followed them a half square further south, and when they came up the second time said they intended to whip every man in the crowd. Boylan, with the other boys, started to run again, but their pursuers outran them, and overtook them in an alley. Boylan was the rear roan, and, seeing be bad to defend himself, he Stopped and attempted to pull a picket off of the fence. While he was doing this, one of his pursuers, John McNamara, grabbed him, and, drawing a razor, began cutting him. The first cut was across the right arm. It severed the brachial artery, and laid open to the bone the large muscle ef the -upper arm. The second was behind and rather under the left arm, and barely missed an artery. The assailant then released his hold on Boylan and ran. The blood began pouring from Boylan's arm and before the patrol wagon could rach the scene, it was feared he would bleed to death. By the time he reached the stationhouse he was too weak, from the loss of blood, to speak. Dr. Hedges was called and dressed the wounds. They will, he says, result in the loss of the young man's arm, and perhaps his life. FTe was taken to the City Hospital. None of the young men with Boylan knew any of the assailants, and by the time the police reached the scene of the cuttinc not one of them could be found. It was afterward learned, however, that McNamara was the assailant of Boylan, but at 2 o'clock this morning he had not been found. Canon WHber force on the Lecture Platform. Philadelphia Times's Report. The Canon, who was received with vehement applause, is still in the prime of life. He is of compact, if not muscular, build, and stands about five foet nine. His face is cleanly shaven, and in outline is rather sharp. A high, retreat ing forehead, around which clusters a wealth of hair, once of an amber hue, but fast becoming gray, gives a look of intellectuality to his countenance, and his eyes, while expressing benevolence and humanity, are clear and penetrating. His voice is resonant and ringing, and his enunciation distinct He spoke rapidly, and while every word that fell from his lips gave evidence of deep thought, and complete grasp and mastery of his subject, there was nothing to suggest that his address was not a strictly extemporaneous one. His gestures were few, and a deep intonation of voice rather than any mere play of bis hands or positions of his body gave emphasis to the points he desired to make more clearly understood. At the outset of his remarks he claimed that they would partake more of the characteristics of a sermon than of a lecture, and in this respect he was right. The address was purely a secularized sermon, and not an attempt to apply to the question the surroundings and the attributes of a scientific discourse. During the course of the lecture Canon Wilberforce drew attention to tho scarcely apparent fact that he wore a tinyl blue ribbon in the lapel of his coat. He stated it had been put there by an American friend, and provoked some laughter by saying that, though he wore it always, he was not quite so enthusiastic in this direction as a Scotch friend who wears his on his nieht-shirt on the plea that possibly there may occur a fire at nicht and that in attending it he might be open to the danger of being asked to drink if he had not this evidence of teetotalisra about him.
