doc" Davis.

Every Monday night there is a heavy
turnout at the colored dance at No. IA
Willard street by colored sports and toughs
and their girls. The room in which the
dance is given is a very small affair, and
several occasions rival couples have
caused considerable feeling by running into
each other. on other occasions two rivals
have nearly caused a commotion by allow
ing their angry passions to run at large.
Last night Robert Davis, commonly known
as Doc" and Frank Stubs were the
rivals for a dance with the belle of the
evening. Davis stated that he was the one
to dance with the desired beauty This
Stubbs denied, ana thereupon those present
were treated to little cutting ARRAY with

gashes on the head, in addition to a long
deep cut on an arm. He was removed to

THE PITTsBURGs WON.
Ii Was a Fine Game with n Close
Enough Score.

Indianapolis again demonstrated its abil-
ity to play fast ball yesterday. The strong
Pittsburg team, of the National League
opened it's series here and started out at a
pace that gave the admirers of the home
team the shivers 1t looked in that open
ing inning as If Pittsburg was going TO
hit the ball just whenever the players
wanted to and make d bushel Of runs, but
they didn't. AS usual, indianapolis played
a strong uphill game, never for one mo-
ment being discouraged, but devoting itself
solely to catching up with it's high-class
opponents, which it came pretty near do
ing so near, in fact, that the ninth inning
was full Of excitement In spite of the
hard hitting done by the Pittsburgs the
home players put up a great fielding game.

all being that by Mills in the first inning
In fact, the only other error INDIANAPOLIS
had was an excusable one by Deyinny on q
very hard hit ball.
Smith was the first Pittsburger to face
Phillips, and he hit the first ball pitched

DIsINFECTING THE BASEMENT.
Sulphur Burning i'm Board of HeaIth's
Office at Courthouse.


Frank Matlock. one of the sanitary off,
GERS, yesterday began the work of disin-
fecting the basement of the courthouse I'M
der the direction of the City Board of
Health. He began with the Board of
Health office. where the negro Higgins had
called the day before the nature Of his
disease was discovered to see if he could be
admitted to the City Hospital.
The carpets were all torn up and a hot
solution Of chloride Of lime sprinkled all
over them and on the floor. The walls will
all be washed with chloride of lime. Two
common oil stoves were procured and on
them were placed pans, each containing
about two pounds of flour of sulphur.
When a match was touched to the lamps
and TO the sulphur in the pans everybody
prepared to leave the room. Curious people
soon came along, and seeing something
unusual going on would open the door and
step inside to investigate. They did not
stay longer than necessary TO open the
door again, and when they came out were
gaSping for breath.
The work of washing the walls and cell
ing and scrubbing the floors of the base
ment corridors with a solution of chloride
OF lime was continued last night and will
be completed this morning. The corps of
ianitors was not sufficient to do the work
and IL became necessary to hire more men,
Under the civil-Service rules the only men
that could be hired were those who had
registered with Tired Herrick Some
trouble was experienced in getting word
TO those entitled to the work, but finally
enough men were secured and the work
went on. None OF the offices except the
Board of Health office will be fumigated
as IL is not supposed that Higgins was in
any of the others.

MRS. LILLY GATES'S BURNS.
She May Die from the Effects of the
Flames.

Mrs. Lilly Gates. wife Of Joseph Gates,
residing at No. ga Backford street was
seriously. If not fatally, burned yesterday
afternoon about O'Clock. She was at
teSdng to her household duties and was
leaning over the cook stove in the kitchen
when her clothes became ignlted. The
flames rapidly spread and she was soon
one mass of fire. In this condition she
rushed into the street. all the while scream
ing with pain and for help. Ed Sanborn,
residing at 232 Blackboard street, heard
her cries, rushed out from his home,
seized and carried her into the house,
where he smothered the flames with bed
clothing. Drs. Carey and carp were sum-
moned. They found that Mrs. Gates was
mass OF burns from her feet to her
neck. The flesh peeled off in many places
and she suffered intense agony. However
her face was not burned. 1t was the doc
tors opinion late last night that her re-
cOvery is doubtful. There are four children
in the family, the oldest of whom is six
years Of age. Mr.. Gates is a saloon keeper
at No. lS6 North Mississippi street. Ell

Eel hit another very similar one, which was
thrown wide at second. Plock was retired
at first, but safe hits by Bieroauer and
Sugden brought in the two runs. Ehret
struck out retiring the side.
After the fOuth inning ktilen did the
pitching for PittSburg. The Leaguers were
evidently afraid that Ehrets wildness
would lose them the game. and SO they
put their crack left-handed pitcher in the
box. He was all right for an inning but
in the sixth became little mixed, and
Snyder struck out, put Phillips hit down
the line TO Beckley. who was playing well
back OF nrst and Plock tried TO get IN on
the hit but was thrown out at the plate.
Phillips stole second and McTammany,
Mills and Leidy were sent TO base on balls
in succession, killen varying this monot-
to score. With the bases filled there was
a great opportunity to take lead. but
struck him out. In the Pittsburg half Of
the sixth Beckley made the first home run
on the grounds this season. He hit the
ball between right and center, and made
the circuit clean before the ball was re-
turned to the plate. The visitors could
not score in the last three innings. getting
OF the prettiest plays of the day was the
running catch by Leidy of Sugden's foul
fly in the ninth inning.
Snyder started the eighth inning for In

Smith and Leidy was thrown out at first
by Glasscock. With two TO tie and three
to win, things looked rather hopeless for
Indianapolis when they went in for the
last half of the ninth inning. The crowd,
remembering that last Minneapolis game,
when the home team pulled out in royal
style in the ninth, fingered with some hope
that they might see a repetition OF that
gratifying performance. Graham was the
first man up, and he hit the ball to left. 1t
looked safe, and the crowd shout

run. made circus catch of ii. Devinny
hit down the line to first and was out but

ley'S terrific hitting, the fielding of Leidy,
Mills and Devinny, and Stencils great
catch in the last inning were the features
of the game. Henry Boyle's umpiring was
very unsatisfactory. Two close decisions
on the bases were given against Indian
apolis and he was considerably off on
balls and strikes. The runners should have
