The Champion Middle Weight of Penn- sylvania in Omaha, Returns Prom . Dominic McCaffrey His Western T for some timeand gave several exhibitions of his skill here, came in from the west Wednesday night and stopped at the Paxton, There has been no little interest felt in McCafirey f the failure of Hanley to come to time in the Colora match and _a Brx reporter called on him and learned something of the facts and of his own personal history. e was born and raised in Pittsburg, I’a., his parents being of Irish national- ity, and is now just passed 20 years of age. He stands b feet 8] inches in his stocking feet, and weighs 187 pounds, his fighting weight being 1568 pounds, stripped. McCaffrey was at school all his life, until 1880, his folks intending him_for the legal profession. He left the high on account school in that year, expecting to enter college in the fall, | but instead of that launched out as a boxes and ended his educational career forever. He excelled in all lines of athletic sport, base ball, rowing, box- ing and foot-racing, having in the latter contest made his 100 yards in 10} sec- onds, One daywhile walking along the streets of Pittsburg he was hailed by a man named McCoy, who claimed to be the champion boxer of Western Pennsyl- vania um\ who passed certain insulting remarks which caused McCaffrey to turn about and thresh him. A few days later he challenged McCoy to a regular set-to for §500 a side and got away with him in six rounds with hard gloves. He then went east to try others and this settled his cellege aspirations, as he thinking he might have “‘the name as well as the game” has followed the business ever sine, McCafirey has also boxed Prof. John Donaldson, who stood up before Sullivan 22 minutes in Cincinnati with hard gloves. This was at Ryan’s exhibition in Pitts- burg, and in four rounds with soft gloves it proved a drawn battle. In Philadel- phia he sparred Mike Clary five rounds, Queensbury rules, Clary to knock him out in that time. He was not knocked out but won the stakes,being at this time just 17 years old, and McClary at the time trying to arrange a fight with Sulli- van. McCafirey was at Johnny Clark's six months and sparred all comers. mong others contests was one with Pat Scullion, champion of New Jersey, who was knocked out in two rounds, big soft gloves being used; with Jimmy Ryan for the middleweight chamvnionship of Penn- sylvania, 3500 a side and gate receipts, knocking him out in three rounds. He had just before taught a s at Media Academy, and _afterward offered $50 to any man in Western Pennsylvania to spar him four roun but received no re- sponse. After a few more successful ventures HcCafirey wentto Denverand had a set-to with John Clow, whom he offered $50 to spar him four rounds. Clow claims to be the champion of Colorado, and Deminic says he can stand more punishment than any man he ever saw. He won againand took the $600 gate receipts after having had con- siderable trouble with the referee. He next went to Leadville, and it was there that he offered to meet Ianley, offering to make a bet of €300, open to any one, that he could knock them out in 30 minntes with soft gloves. Hanley had just been elected a member of the | fire department and_his comrades put up the money for his backing, the fight to be for 500 a side and the gate receipts. Both men trained for two weeks, Mc- Caffrey with *‘Little Jerry” Mahoney at Soda Springs. The result is known. The fight never came off, there being a kick first about the referee and then about the gloves, which McCafirey claims were aslarge as any he ever used. The stakes and gate receipts, 1,800, were turned over to the champion of the ‘‘Keystone” State, who then offered Hanley's backers to fight him in the en- | gine house, but that plan failed to carry. Meantime Paddy Ryan arrived and their set-to occurred, after which Mec- Caffrey offered to fight any man in Amer- ica except Sullivan, with soft gloves. The Pennsylvanian’s manager, Billy Brien, tried ineflectually to fixup several matches between Leadville and San Francisco, but all wantea hippodrome fights, and it Was 10 20, On his return trip McCafirey visited his brothers, stock dealers, at ('Neill City, and gave the boys up there an ex- hibition in the court house, knocking si big farmers out in succession, and follow- ing it up with the ofier to knock a dozen out, one after the other. He closed the exhibition by a set-to with his brother Joe, who is himself an artist. MeCairey has a magnificent gold watch and chain, and a valuable diamond ring, presented him by admirers in Leadville. He leaves to night for Kansas City, St. Louis and Cincinnati, and still holds out his challenge to box any man in America, except John C, Sullivan, He is a quiet, gentlemanly looking boy, a good talker, and very intelligent; in fact, such as will |never probably bring discredit on his profession. MIsS J 7 e 1 CHAMBERLIN, The Young American Beauty in Lon. a A Cleveland letter to the New York Times says: Mr. Wm. 8. Chamberlin, the father of the young American lady whose beauty has won such publicity for | her in London social circles. is a member | of the well-known Chamberlin family of Cleveland, a nephew of the millionaire, Selah Chamberlin, who so long held 1,000,000 worth of yalueless Minnesota bonds, and finally had them redeemed by the state at about half their face value, But it was not from the Chamberlin side that the moneyscame upon which the pre- sent social distinction in England is main- tained. Mrs, Chamberlin is the only daughter of the late Judge Hiram V. Wilson, and was his heiress. Wilson was one of the ablest and most selid of Cleveland’s solid men twenty years ago, being made by President Buchanan the first judge of the United States circuit and district court for the district of North. ern Ohio, and holding his position until death released him in the first term of President Lincoln, His successor was Judge Charles Sherman, a brother of the Senator. Judge Wilson owned & very extensive tract of land lying along what is now Wilson ayenue, one of the main thorough- fares of the eastern soction of the When the purchase was made the price was very low, but lately sections of it have been sold for over £10,000 an acre. Tt was from this piece of land that Ken- nard, the Englisman who made so great a display during the eatly days of the old Atlantic and Cireat Western tailway, pur chased a . tract where the High School building now stands, with the purpose of building a magnificent residence. but after one load of stone had been hauled for the foundation, and before earth could be broken, some of his many difficulties came upen him, and the land passed into other hand In 1861 or 1862 Mr. Chamberlin, who was a lawyer, and afterward a quartor- ster under Gen. Hazen, in the For regiment Ohio volunteer was married to Mary, the only daughter of Judge Wilson. ~ Two children were born to them, one of whom is married to George Wick of Youngstown, and the other, Jennie, is the young lady who has won such marked attention from the prince of Wales, and consequently from all the fashionable persons of England and their resident American imitators. The young lady has been away from home for so large a portion of her life that she is little known to the great mass of Clevelanders, although there are a fow who know her intimately and have kept up their acquaintance since her depar- ture, One of her schoolmates, in speaking of the young lady, said: “Of course, it would be foolish for me to declare that in her early girlhood any one marked her as the foundation for even so much of a distinguished career as that of a fashion- able beauty, but I can remember that even in those days she was noted for her beauty. She was a very delicate blonde, not stamped with any prominent intel- lectual marks, but possessing winning features, She was a great deal prettier than the average. She was always sven with ler mother, and they all liv -iqui-b ly and apparently very happily in the old homestead sn Wilson avenue. The young lady was never an attendant on the public schools, but received her education in Par PAPA CROWELL.

How the Saints of the Wild West Are Hauling In the Sinnes of the South. Chattanooga Times. M. W. Haws, the Mormon elder, who is stationed in this city to look after the out the entire South, Chattanooga being the only headquarters, was_interviewed by a Times roporter yesterday. In ans- wer to a question as to how the elders scatterered threughout were succeeding in their proselytmng work, Mr. Haws stated that they had never been more suc- cessful They have been decidedly more in Northern Mississippi than elsewhere, Some of the best peoplo have been con- verted by their eflorts, and have given them all "assistance possible. In North Georgin and lower Virginia they have been doing equally well. The percent- age of conyerts will be much heavier this year than last. This he accounts for by the fact that more eldersare out this year than last,and the people heretoforescorn- ed the dostrine and the men who promul- gated it have now lent a willing ear to ths teachings of the missionar There were about 700 in the party who left this city last fall for Utah, but this year it will be safe to estimate them at nearly 1,000. Of course a great many are not in a con- dition to leave their Southern homes now, but numbers of them will go next spring The total number converted this year wi be about, 2,000, The converts will meet in Chattanooga about the 10th or 15th of November, and will then proceed to their homes among the Mormons in Utah. Mr. Haws speaks with no little degree of satisfaction con- cerning their work in the South, and pre- dicts that it will be two-fold next year. —— ayton, the | or and rep- resentative of the National Educational so- clety, Is at the Paxton, Mrs, Clayton will lecture at the Opera house on Bunday at 4 o'clock; also, by invitation of the pastor, at rat M.

Pefooleam Gas Struck in e Avtsian Well at Chevenne Wells, P’robability that a Stream of Coal Oil ‘Will Come Next. Denver Tribune. Hon. Horace Beach, Commissioner of tho United States prosecuting the work ot sinking artesian wells in Colorado, ar- rived in the city at an early hour yester- day morning from Cheyenne Wells, on the line of the Kansas Pacific, where the work is at present being prosecuted. He brought with him a report OF A STARTLING NATURE, which is that the well being sunk at Cheyenne Wells has struck a strong flow of gas. A News reporter called upouMr. Beach at the St. James last evening for the pur- pose of learning the nature of the strike. “‘Yes,” said M. Beach, ‘‘we struck gas Friday at a depth of 620 feet. There was & good flow of gas, evidently from petroleum, having nearly the smell of petroleum gas.” “ Will it burn?” “Yes. We lighted it in a jet of ten incl in diameter and it burned to a hoight of eight to ten feet, and SOMETIMES SPRUNG UP to twenty feet. It made a bright, clear light of great heat, sufficient, I am sure, to run the engine if it ceuld be saved.” “Doos it resemble petroleum 8o much that there could be no mistake?” “‘1t certainly does. I have been at a large number of gas wells in Pennsylva- nia, as have the contractors who came from there originally, and we would know the difference.” “‘Is the discovery of gas an indication that petroleum will be found?” “Yes; it is considerod a gooa indica- tion, as gas iv struck before reaching oil in most oil wells, Butitis not a surc sign, a8 gas is sometimes struck where there is no oil. Still it is a remarkably good indication.” “Is the flow of gas a very strong one as compared with those in Pennsylva nia?” “There are many larger flows being found in Pennsylvania, the natural gas being employed in some instances to light villages, and 1 believe it is beiny employed in some of the furmaces at Pittsburg,” “In what kind of rock was the gas struck ! “Phe first 300 feer we went througl was drift, very difficult to bore through, and then we passed through nearly 00 feet of undurated clay, and struck the gas in a stratum composed of clay and We Liave sunk seventy fee The gas is ined in depth, and resulted in ound the well A SERIOUS ACCIDENT to the contractor, Wellington Smith, Friday night, through hus thoughtlessly ching it with a lighted lantern, s oxploded and burned Mr hair and beard quite badly, besides sing The woll caught fire and there was feet of 8 inch casing. We will go on till we have reached water or oil.” ““Would not the sand mixture in the rock indicate that you are near a porous stratum?” “It certainly would, but T would not venture a prediction as to how far we will have to go. We are there to try what can be done and we will give it thorough trial.” ']‘I.-\r.- the contractors doing their work well “Very well, indeed. They made 100 feet in a d They have had a good leal of troublo through their bits com- ing off’ in turning around in the tough cla "Chey had to send to Denver for a different kind of seckot, but this came loose too, They knew just how to recov- er it however. Four of the men took a rope with a_suction arrangement upon it and lowered it with great precision into the well. They then let it drop exactly in the centor. Then all placed their ears to the rope and began to pull at the same time. They all cried out at once, ‘we've gotit.' 1 asked them how they knew, and learned that they had used the rope as a telephone, hearing by it the peculiar sound of suction made when the fishing arrangement strikes the bit. It took them just fifteen minutes to take up the bit from a depth of 600 feet.” Mr. Beach has received an answer toa Jetter which he addressed to Mr. Wilber, ecretary of State of the Sandwich nds, which fully bears him out in his theory that any formation which has a stratum of water bearing rock which has a sufficient dip will yield artesian wells, contradicting the theory of Prof. Stan- ton, which was that a stratification simi- lar to that found at Artois, France, would be necessary, In the Sandwicn Islands they have, as stated in the letter, forty-five wells, thirty of which, near Honolulu, are sunk through coral, clay and lava, and all of which carry water to a height of forty-two feet. These wero sunk in a radias of one and one-half miles and the flow of the first was decreased from six to ten metres by the sinking of the others.
