A Big Eor.nnetnoi OIL,

Pittsburg Times: Persons who imagine
pany are the only men to acquire more
thar ordinary riches in the oil business
are not acquainted with the facts. The
oil company is full of men who have be-
come wealthy IN the oil business and
never had any connection with the big
Standard. John McKeown, OF Wash
ington, Pa, is reputea to be the
Weaithiest oil prodacer, and his figure
is placed at SS.000.000, although it is
likely to be much more than this. Mr..
McKeown is native OF Ireland, and
began his career in this country In the
oil regions, coming directly from CASTLE
Gardens TO the Pennsylvania oil regions
during the early excitement on OIL
Oreek, about 1854. He was entirely
without means, and began as day
laborer, working for So day, handling
pick and shovel for man who had
contracts for grading for oil
He soon became contractor
himself, and from that got small inter-
eat in well which proved to be a good
| luNbpsuSJbs uAEs uuUhSOWH WbB uUk one
of those whose riches were suddenly &C
quired. They came to him slowly and
only through hard work end careful in
ve4tments. From Oh creek he went to
Bradford in the carly days of that de-
velopment, and there he was wonderfully
successful. His operations there were
mostly on the rich Bingham lands. where
every well was success. he left Brad
~~l iaI, Al
county, buying small farm not far from
MartiEeburg. Although small tract
this was one of the most prolific in the
great Butler field, and Mr.. McKeown
realized another fortune here. During
this time he was making careful invest
ments, mostly in real estate In PennsyI-
vania and the west, and these invest
ments, 30 far as Is known, have sill
realized handsomely. Indeed, none OF
McKeown's friends can poiut TO any con
siderable investment of his that hes not
been q good one He is man upon
whom fortune always smiles. His won
derful success in the Washington and
Taylorstown oil fields is familiar to
newspaper readers. In the Washington
district he probably developed the rich.
eat spot ever tapped in the Pennsylvenia
region. 1t is said that three farms here
of which he wss the chief beneficiary
produced 100000 worth of oil alone
Mr.. MeKeown owns large amount OF
valuable city propery in Baltimore and
Philadelphia as well as cattle ranches in
the west. He has invested largely in the
new Turkeyfoot district lately opened
up by the Bridgewater gas company
and il the region comes up to the &.
pectatioas of the trade he will realize
another fortune there.

An bodied rumor has been float

management had made big offer for
the st. Paul team entire. Manager
Barnes was asked about the matter last
night. and, though disinclined to talk,
admitted that while in Milwaukee on
his last trip. certain gentlemen OF that
city offered him S15,Q00 to transfer his
team to the Cream City. Mr.. Barnes
said. under ordinary circumstances, he
would not part with his team for
$4,000, but if ministers OF the
city succeeded in getting Sunday
games prohibited here he would accept
the Milwaukee offer, and st. Paul
would be without team forthwith. lie
says base ball cannot live in this city
without Sunday contests, and he does
not propose to attempt to run team
unless he can have them. 1t was ru-
mored that the Milwaukee people
wanted to purchase the st. Paul team
and the Louisville franchise and go into
the American association, but dispatch
from Milwaukee states that that city has
given up the notion of joining the larger
organization. The offer was simply a
good business proposition. With crack
team Milwaukee is paying town, but
to a tail-ender the support given is nil.

lie, Kansas City, Mo-, May 25, 1SS9.-Sir: As

rate of fare to that city should not exceed
that given to and from Columbus by
the various railroads last year. This
promise has not been kept. II
this result had been anticipated
the encam pment would not have been To-
proper guarantees. This failure is thought
to be unjust, and am assured from reliable
information received from comrades
throughout the United States, will greatly di-
minish the attendance. / ask, therefore,
that your association at an early day fix

THE NINETEENTH VICTORY.
ST. Paul Adds Another to Its Long
List of TriumphS.

Twelve hundred people saw a very
pretty game between st. Paul and Des
Mones yesterday afternoon, which re-
suited in favor of the local team by the
score of to +. Both Mains and En-
merke proved very effective in the box
up to the ninth inning, when the hit
ting was free on the part of both mines,
Murphy, Werrick and Macullar making
home runs in that inning. BroughtOn
and Traffley did the finest backStOp
work seen in st. Paul for many day.
The latter was many times ap-
plauded for remarkable stops
of wiId-pitched balls. Outside of
the batteries Pickett was the feature OF
the day. He made two fine catches and
three neat assists in the field; batted
the ball for four singles, and ratified the
raced from first base to the plate with
out being put out. For the visitors,
Phelan led with the willow, creating a
great deal of amusement in the crowd
by his success at bunting the ball. st.
Paul began scoring in the first inning,
Murphy taking base for being hit,
stealing second and scoring on Pickett's
line drive over bag two. In the third,
Mains put one in a safe place at left,
and took base on Hawes' sacrifice.
Murphy got base for waiting,
and Pickett's hit filled the bases.
Carroll pasted the ball to short,
but Macullar threw it badly
to catch Mains at the plate. In the last
half of the inning Phelan took base
on balls. stole second and rushed over
the plate OH wild pitch amid great
applause. Farmer scored in the fourth
l>olI a1I cs1
choice and Hawes' double. No more
the seventh, when Murphy and Pickett
each waited for base and Carroll got
first when Murphy was fielded out at
the plate on grounder. Reilly took
base on balls and Picket scored on an
error at third. Werrick hit
fly to left on which Carroll
scored. Maskrey got around in
the eighth on a base on balls, a wild
pitch and a two-base hit by Whitley.
The ninth was lively with cannonading.
Murphy opened the inning with a
pretty drive over the right-feld fence.
Pickett hit to center, stole second, went
to third on Phelan's bad throw to the
plate and scored, when Emmerke
allowed the ball to pass between
his legs on being returned by
his catcher. Carroll and Reilly were
retired on fies,> but Werrick, who
had struck out twice, let him
self out and sent the ball spinning over
the wall at left. Macullar opened
operations for Des MOiDes by putting
the ball over right just where Murphy
had sent it. Traff1ey went out, but En-
merke and Patton got bases on balls,
and Phelan's hit and Smiths sacrifice
sent the former home. The score fol-
lows.
