fflE PROSPECT TOR GAS.
The Gentleman Here Yesterday Will Make a Favorable Report to New York Capitalists.
One more opportunity is presented for Crawfordsvillo to secure natural gas. The gentlemen who wore here yesterday are not adventurers in any sense of the term. They represent solid men, of New York, with capital who are making investment for their money that will realize for thom reasonable returns. Mr. Dilkes is the general agent for the Chester Tubing Company, of Chester, Penn., one of the largest manufacturers of iron piping in the country. Mr. McAley is the financial manager of the Indianajxilis Fuel and Light Company. Both are men of largo experience in the business. They were sent here to spy out the land and make a report. With* this object in view they were driven over tho city yesterday by Mr. Ramsey whoso labors have lieen incessant in lehalf of tho tho schemo and who has h»d r.n unfaltering faith that it would ultimately succeed. The gentleman expressed, themselves freely, declaring that it was a much 1 letter town than they had conceived from the short walks they had made from the hotel. They said they Bhould certainly make a favorable report to the investors recomending further and closer investigation. It was intimated by them that tho ordinance passed by the council for the People's Natural Gas Company was generally acceptable although they would expect some slight changes in the way of protection to the company against tho useless and extravagent waste of gas. While it is desirable to furnish all the gas necessary for the comfort and convenience of the people, yet the company that puts it in does not desire to furnish a fourth or a third more. Tho extra amount is an absolute loss. Natural gas is just as pre-
Messrs. Dilkes and McAley returned to Indianapolis this afternoon. Mr. Dilkes expects to go to Now York the first week in May and about the middle of May another investigation will be sent out. On the lino between here and Sheridan, Thorntown and Darlington will naturally be taken in and supplied with the precious fluid. If the project is sucessful gas will be supplied to us for the month of next September.
Your last chance to hear the .Iking machine is to-night at White's museum.

Excitement at the LaVeta.
This morning Wm. Reeves accompanied by John Byns, the colored constable, went to the LaVeta hotel to make a levy on the goods of tho proprietor, Scott Steele. They took amoving wagon with them and .were prepared to load tho goods and carry them off. Tho wagon was backed up and Messrs. Reeves and Byns proceeded to make the levy. At this time H. H. Ristino put in an apjioaranco and demanded a stay in the proceedings on account or the MtiBic Hall people having a prior claim. Words began to run high and a large crowd assembled to see tho fun. Mr. Reeves finally designated Steele as "a big drunken coward," whereupon that gentleman picked up a chair and went after the attorney in a manner which boded him no good. Just as he was about to deliver a blow the chair was grasped bv I' redShootz and the catastrophe averted. The crowd finally disjoined and meals are still being served at the old stand by the charming young ladies who preside in the dining room.
A Dizzy Climb,.
This morning William Dovle performed feat of no small magnitude. He climed the flag |xle at the central school building and perched 75 feet in tho nir effected some needed repairs. Tho polo was very slippery and the climbing difficult but Doyle made it all right and did not grow dizzy as he clung to the top but filed through an ironbar about an inch in diameter and cast the vano to the ground. He then repaired tho pulley from which the rope had pullet! out and returned to the ground.
Death of John Francis
John Francis, quite an old man. died last night at the county poor farm after a long and painful illness. His funeral took place to-day at 2 o'clock from Smartsburg. The deceased was at one time a substantial and well-to-do farmer living near Sinartsbnrg and owning a good farm. He met with reverses in business, however, and finally was obliged to go to the poor farm. He leaves several children residing

cious as any other valuable article and a useless and extravagant use of it is as senseless as it would l»e to consume coal or artificial gas in the twine manner. Even in the natural gas fields where it is found at tho doors of tho people this fact is beginning to dawn on tlieir minds and steps are being taken to promote its more careful use. In the light of experience it would be the part of wisdom for the City Council to make such amendments to the ordinance so as to conform to the changed condition of affairs.

Lincoln" The Veneration and Reverence for Law. Dr. W. P. Kane, of Lafayette, filled the place of Judge Snyder and read the paper before the Ouiatenon Club last night. His Biibject was "Lincoln." tho same subject to which tho Judge had been assigned. Dr.Kano gavo a clear cut analysis or the moral an". religious side of Mr. Lincoln's character, relating many instances lieginning with his farewell speech at Springfield, and running through his official lifo until his premature taking off, in which there breathed iti all his public utterance the genius or his morality and a sincere reliance tqxin God for guidance. The paper was followed by a most interesting discussion concerning this wonderfully great man. It was discovered that but four members of the club had ever seen the martyr President. The current topic introduced by Mr. Anderson was the tour of President Harrison through the South. The thought suggested wan the remark of the Mayor of Mephis in his address of welcome to the President in which ho Baid that the white race should rule the South. The discussion was animated. Tho general consensus was, as President Harrison BO aptly expressed it in so many of his short sjieeches. that we live in a government of law, and when tho law is once enacted no community am safely divide on tho question of implicit oliedionce. It is upon this broad principle that our institutions rest.
