in THE FIGHT TO STAY
CATLIN WANTS FIFTH DISTRICT
NOMINATION TO CONGRESS.
Card to Republicans - Municipal
for Saving Wife-Accidents.
;pecial to the IndianapolIs Journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, May 11-Robert
II. Catlin has issued a card addressed to
the Republicans of the Fifth district, in
which he denies that he will withdraw as
a candidate for the nomination at Green
castle next week. He says that "for
twenty years he has stood for the princi-
pies Of the Republican party" that he has
fought for its principles on a hundred
battlefields and voted the straight Repub-
lican ticket always, in the confines of the
Fifth congressional district" Continuing he
says: Having uniformly contributed my
services gratuitously to the Republican
party, sometime since / decided 10 ask
the nomination for Congress at the hands
of the party in this district. 1 made an
honest contest for the delegates of Vigo
county, in the convention to be held May
Is. at Greencastle. and the result of that
contest is now history. rumor having
gained some currency to the effect that
L would withdraw from the race 1 take
this opportunity to say that am candi-
cate before that convention and shall not
desert my friends so long as l have them.
My duty is with the Republican party, and
i am now, as in the past, and shall be in
whatever capacity il calls me-.
Mr.. Catlin no doubt had intended to with
draw soon after the primaries were held
in this county and when Ii was generally
believed Mr.. Barcus had secured all but
three of the thirty-five. 1t is understood
that he believes there is a chance that
the delegation will not be so strongly for
as others. he has concluded to remain in
the field

WHAT THE PRINCIPALS SAY.
Corbctt Wants to Try 1t Again-Jen-
rfes Surprised Mt Opponent's Skill.

NEW YORK, May I-.What is the use
of talking now?" said Corbett when seen
in his dressing room after the battle. Il
lost and although / don't know how II
happened guess it was all right. / fought
my best and felt good until the punch
came that ended my aspirations for the
time being. and I think I proved myself
not altogether a dead one. If my friends
were satisfied with my showing 1 have no
kick to make, but would like to have an
other chance IL Mr.. Jeffries Will accord
me the privilege, which think nearly
every one who saw the fight will say is
due me. / am still in the game and Will
stick there until 1 reach the pinnacle OF
my ambition am whipped conclusively.
Referee Charley White said: There
was never a squarer nor fairer ring con-
test. Both men fought fairly and lived up
to the rules The winner had an upniii
fight all the way and the loser deserves
ali the praise that can possibly be given
him. His foot work was simply per1ect
and he Is TO be congratulated on his return
to his old time form. From his showing
tonight Corbett has more than a look In
with the best of them.
Jeffries is very reticent. He said: "Cor-
bett gave me the best fight of, my career
and was really surprise. L thought l
should have whipped him sooner and l
think that L would have. had my left arm
not given out early in the fight The re-
suit, 1 at time felt doubtful of, for L
knew L would eventually land the blow
that / had been looking for all along.
Corbett was really a revelation to me and
did not look for such battle from him.
Jim made game fight and have no wish
to detract the least from his credit,
but 1 still the champion and will go
along the line as / trim them all"
Billy Brady said that Corbett was better
than he had ever seen him since his MEM
oTable battle with Sullivan at New Or
leans. His vitality surprised me-" said
Brady, land / think it was the greatest
heavyweight fight that was ever fought.
Jeffries, however. had youth and strength
on HIS side and although he did not win
as quickly / expected, 1 am more than
satisfied with his showing, considering the
fight that Corbett made. After a short
rest Jeffries will be ready to take them on
as fast as they come and L will be ready
to back him to maintain the title"

BOXING BOUTS
At the Empire While the Fight Re-
turns Were Read.

The immense crowd that gathered in the
Empire Theater, last night, to hear the re-
turns from the Jeffries-Corbett fight and.
incidentally, be amused by a few boxing
bouts, was a Corbett crowd during the
early rounds. AS the returns were read,
showing Corbett was holding his own
against the big Californian, cheer after
cheer echoed the praise of the Corbett en-
thusiasts. In the tenth round, when Cor
bett had Jeffries hanging TO him in a
clinch the applause was deafening and in
each succeeding round when the bulletins
showed Corbett was making such a game
fight his followers in the crowd showed
their appreciation by prolonged applause.
When the twenty-third round was read
and the report of the Knockout blow which
sent Corbett to the floor was received the
sympathy of the audience seemed to
change and nearly every one present
interest displayed in the fight than in any
fistic encounter in months and several
small bets were made in the crowd as late
as the twentieth round.
The exhibitions of boxing which were
given during the reading of the returns
were interesting. The first bout was be-
tween Hutsell and Murphy. in which
Murphy was declared the winner after four
a four-round bout between kid" Cuddy
and Jim Morarity, was lively one and
Cuddy clearly outpointed his opponent and
was given the decision. Joe Walker and
Jim WEIGH gave very tame exhibition,
neither displaying any cleverness. The
main bout was between Jack Cullen and
Oren Clark, both of this city. Cullen set a
fast pace from the start and, after fighting
five rounds, in which Clark's face was used
as the stopping point for many jabs. Clark
gave up and Cullen was declared the win
ner.
The interest at the Park Theater. where
the returns of the fight were also read
was at a high pitch during the latter part
of the fight, but judging from the cheers
of the crowd the audience favored Jeffries
During the early part of the fight, when
Corbett was surprising his friends by his
aggressive tactics, the spectators seemed
to think the battle was fixed" but when
Jeffries was announced the winner the
people plainly showed their preference by
cheering loudly for the champion.

STATEMENT BY MIR. NEELY.


He Makes a Warm Denial Of the Re-
ports About the Old Stamps.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
UNION CITY, Ind. May 1.-THE Evening
Times to-day publishes the following in re-
gard to an interview with c. F. W. Nicely:
when we approached him as to the
charge, he informed US that he had no
knowledge of any irregularity in his ac-
counts. He had been checked up and his
accounts found to be straight just before
he left Havana, and no suspicion of there
being anything wrong existed. Mr. Nicely
denied the statement that he had a trunk
full of money and securities, and the rings
and pin he had owned since 1894 They are
now in possession of his attorneys as the
government officials had turned them over,
having no right to hold personal property.
There is a fight On between the military
and postal authorities, and an effort is be-
ing made by Governor Wood to down
Major Rathbone and put military man in
his place AS TO the charge that there was
$411,000 in stamps that were not destroyed
and afterward sent out over the island,
Nicely branded this as a falsehood; he said
that there were four men present when the
old stamps were destroyed, and he knows
they were entirly consumd. Mr.. Nicely has
received word since his arrival home that
affairs are not in as bad shape as first re-
ported. and the investigation is being con-
tinued. He further says he Will return 10
Cuba, whether he goes as prisoner or not,
as he has outside interests that demand his
attention. AS TO the Missouri lead mines,
he informed us that he had $500 worth of
stock, instead of $4,000, as reported, and
only regretted the fact that he had not
the amount stated, as ii was good divi-
dend-payer."
Nicely has many friends in this city, and
all are loath to believe him guilty.

almost together, and they and their sec
onis exchanged handshakes. Jeffries looked
brown, rugged and strong. He smiled an
occasional recognition to friend IN the
crowd. but for the most part seemed Seri-
Gus. He looked burly I'm his blue sweater.
Corbett was clean. white and trim He
said he weighed mere than on the day
made memorable in pugilisra when he de-
feated Sullivan. but he did not look IL. May
be that IL came in comparison with the big
man who faced him. for contrast produces
the sharDest effect. He looked in splendid
condition, and his appearance told the
truth as exenplified by his marvellous bat
tie against the odds Of strength.
The crowd showed its first enthusiasm
over the announcement that Charley White
would referee the fight White holds the
confidence of the sporting public, which
rates him favorfte. There was roar o.
applause when he entered the ring. There
was a brief wrangle over the bandages on
corbett's hands, but he was finally allowed
10 wear them. The gloves were quickly
slipped on, and in moment the gong
changed out loud and clear. AS the men
sprang forward the spectators were stilled
20 silence that was broken only by the
rattle and chatter of the telegraph instru-
ments.

ALEXANDRIA, Ind, May 1.-THE first
gas well drilled in the Indiana field is now
producing eighty barrels of oil a day. The
well was drilled in on the northern edge of
the city, and has been the best producing
gas well in this vicinity since early in the
year 1887. The well showed some signs of
oil two years ago, but the gas company
refused to sell it at that time, as it was its
best gas producer. About two months ago
l.. c. Nicason succeeded in getting posses
sion of 1t and drilled several feet deeper in
the Trenton rock. with the result that the
well Is now producing eighty barrels of oil
a day and large quantity of gas. The oil
and gas are being separated. The latter is
being sold to the gas company.

NORTH VERNON. Ind, May 1.-THE de-
feat of John Overmyer at the congressional
convention at Greensburg, May q has
caused feeling of deep discomfort among
the ardent free silver Democrats of Jen-
nings county, that bodies i'll for Mr.. Griffith
at the coming election. A local politician
says: 1.-THE brutal and highhanded method
by which Mr.. Overmyer was slaughtered in
the house of his friends will not soon be
forgotten or forgiven by Overmyer's sup
porters in the district. There is a special
feeling of dissatisfaction with the conduct
of a few leading Democrats in this county,
who patted Overmyer on the back in the
presence of his friends. but knitted him con-
tinuously behind his back. When any Of
these gentlemen aspire to Democratic
honors in the future they may expect to
meet with trouble at the hands of the Chi
cago platform Democrats, who swear by
Overmyer."
