INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Jan. 20.—Advance sheets of State Gas Inspector E. T. J. Jordan's report to Geologist Gorby discloses the fact that there is a material decrease in the Indiana natural gas supply. The united pressure of the Indiana field was at first !iU5 pounds to the square inch. The pressure has decreased in some cases to sixty pounds, aud many wells are entirely useless, some because the supply is exhausted, others on account of the presence of salt water. There have been 300 manufactories brought into the state on account of the cheap fuel, l'rof. Gorby says: "There has been enough gas wasted in the gas field to supply every family in it twoyears.

He was among the 15rst of Ohio's sons to offer his services to the cause of the union in tho lato war. In battle he was brave, and the wounds he received in defending his country's tiap were sileut but eloquent testimonials to his gallantry and patriotism and sacrifice. From major of the Twenty-third Ohio infantry he reached the high rani: of major genera! of volunteers, commanding a division, beloved by his comrades and respected by all. "While in the field ho was elected to the national house of representatives, but hi.? sense of duty compelled him to dccltne to serve in congress while the country was imperiled.

For two successive terms he was elected governor of Ohio. and after period of letirement he was again chosen the chief executive of his state. Then tho nation called him to the presidency, and ho performed the duties of that- high ofllce with dignity, faithfulness and ability.

This announce11 eut was made late Thursday afternoon and many citizens have taken the opportunity to pay their last respect. There was a constant stream of people from 7 to 10 and many a person as he stood by the casket for a moment shed a tear as a last tribute for him whom they loved and honored. The remains lie in the bedroom on the first floor and rest on a

bier draped In black. People entered the large hall, passed to the bedroom, then out by going through the parlor and hall to the entrance.

a peaceful expression, as if in a quiet bleep, and apparently there has been no change whatever except that there is the deathly paleness. A friend stood near the casket and remarked that never before had anyone entered his presence without a pleasant word from the ijeneral. The dead general is dressed in a full dress suit of black broadcloth and wears a standing e,ollar and black bow tie. On the lapels of the coat are the Grand Army of the Republic and lloyal Legion buttons. His right arm rests on his breast and the left by his side.

Tlie Nary.

Acting Secretary Soley, of the nary department, has issued a general order to the navy in reference to the death of Mr. Hayes. The order directs that on the day of the funeral, where this order may be received in time, otherwise on tKfe day after its reeeipt. the ensign at each naval station und of each of the vessels of the United States navy in commission be hoisted at halfmast from sunrise to sunset, and at each naval station and on board of flagships and vessels acting singly a gun be fired at intervals of every half hour from sunrise to sunset. The officers of the navy and marine corps will wear tlie usual badge of mourning attached to the sword hilt and on the left arm for a period of thirty days.

It iB in accord with the wishes of the family that the usual military honors be omitted at the funeral. The militrrv escort for an ex-president includes nearly the entire strength of the army, so its omission on this occasion means a great deal.

The white house and all the executive departments are draped in mourning and will wear their sable emblems of sorrow for a period of thirty days. All tho departments will be dosed today.

POOLTNG IS KILLED.

Tim KKllro.d Ainemtment Defeated lu tlie House— Senate Proceedings.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 90.—In the house Thursday the bill to amend the interstate commerce law BO as to permit railroad cotnpauies to enter into pooling contracts for apportioning amoug themselves their traffic or their gross or not earnings was considered at som« length. This liberality to the railroads was coupled with the conditions that the contracts must be in writing and filed with the interstate commerce commission, and were not to become lawful until approved by the ^commission, whicli was also given power to cancel suoh contract upon giving reasonable notice. After considerable debate the amendment was defeated, and the remaining sections of the measure were agreed to. Mr.

Wise (Va.) then called up a senate bill concerning testimony in criminal cases growing nut of the interstate commerce act with a substitute providing that no pcisbn shall be excused from attending or testifying before the interstate commerce commission on the ground that the testimony or evidence may tend to crimiuate him. The substitute was agreed to and the bill as amended was passed without objection. The bill for the establishment of a national c[uarantine was called up, but the opponents of tlie measure filibustered against it and finally forced ail adjournment.

In the seuute Senator Teller (Co!.) introduced a new bill to submit the McGarrahan claim to the court of private land claims and had it referred to the judiciary committee. (This bill modifies the provisions to which the president objected in the vetoed bill.) Senator Pcffer (Kan.) resumed and concluded his speceh (begun last Monday)in favor of his constitutional amendmeut to limit the presidential ofiice to one leriB Senator Wolcott (Col.) introduced a joint resolution directing tlie postmaster general to discontinue the sale of tho so-called Columbian postage stamps except where specifically callcd for.

Hears Good News.

SUPRE3IEC0URT GRANTS A SEW TRIAL

The Caa« Reverent Ipon tho Opinion That. Two o' the .birnn %Y»*ro Disqualified to Art in the Trial.

COUGlli.l.N IN I.CCK.

CHICAGO, Jan. 20. Daniel Coughlin, the only survivor of the trio of Irishmen sentenced to imprisonment for life December 16, 18S9, for the murder of Dr. P. H. Cronin, will have another tussle with the law for freedom. At the October term of the supreme court an appeal for a writ of error in the interest of the convict was made by Attorneys Wing and Forrest. The appeal has been sustained, a decision to this effect haviug been rendered Thursday at Ottawa.

What Jt Meattt.

This decision means thattonirhliu is. for the time being, in the eyes of the law, free from the brand of murder he is no longer a convict: he is as innocent, in the legal sense., as when he took his place in tho dock three years ago last August* with Hegga, Kunze, OSuilivan and Burke to answer for the killing of Dr. Cronin in the Carlson cottage. But the churgoof murder still hangs over him. and the new trial that the decision "of the supreme court involves may send him back to confinement or to the gallows. It may, on the other hand, result in his getting hiB liberty.

The Opinion.

The court reviews the evidence presented at the trial and dwells upon the fact that it was purely circumstantial. The theory of tho prosecution that a conspiracy was hatched by Coughlan and others to bring about the murder of Dr. Cronin is recited, together with the connection which it sought to establish between the crime and the Clan-na-Gael, of which all save the defeudant ICunze were members. The supposed purposes of that organization, the declaration that Dr. Cronin was a British spy and the investigation set. on foot by the members of camp 20 are considered. The matter of the

competence of Jurors Bontecou and Clark is taken up and reviewed at great length. Their examination is repeated ami the propriety of the challenge for cause made ill each case by defendant's coun scl und refused by Ihe ••.iiitl

IN

taken under consideration. air, authorities nre quoted lo show what is and what is not a competent juror. The conclusion is readied thai Jurors Bonteeou and Chirk were dis qualified by prejudice, and tnat. therefore, Daniel Conghiin did not recciv, fair trial. The decision deeiar 's that the evidence fails to show that the Clun-na-Gael was an unlawful criminal organization or that as an organization it had anything ti do with the murder. The court forbears to express an opinion as to the other questions presented to if. but reverses the judgment of the lower court in the case of Coughlin and remands it to the orimiual court of Cook county for a new trial. Justices Magrnd*-!-and Seholfield dissent from the opinion.

What tho Attorueyn

To the attorneys for the prisoner the news came, they say, as tho most natural thing in the world. Attorney Donahue, who represented O'Sullivan in the murder trial, said it was merely what he had expected. It was no surprise to him. Attorney Forreft had been expecting a favorable decision too so had Attorney Wing. Mr. Longenec.ker, who conducted the prosecution, was in a different state of mind. The news came to him as utterly surprising, and so he himself declared.

The Now Trltt!.

That the new triul will quickly take place seems certain. Coughlin's friends claim that they have gathered evidence whicli was not forthcoming at the previous triul, the production of which in court will make him a free man. Cronin's friends say that they are ready to meet the issue, and that tliey on tlie.ir part have secured testimony which will not alone sustain the cliargc against Coughlin aud result in his conviction, but may bring others into the toils of the law.

Three Are l»fad.

Three of the quintet placed on t^ia]

for the murder are dead. John Kegg.s who was acquitted, was the poor in all parts of the country if first to succumb, his death oecuring the and numbers of people have

latter part of 1801. O'Sullivan and Burke both died in prison, the former May 18 and the latter December S, 1802. John Kunze, who was convicted of manslaughter, was granted a new trial and released.

States Attorney Kern says he will immediately take steps for anew trial. "Is tho decision in reality equivalent to a pardon inasmuch as the witnesses are all scattered!'' was asked. "Decidedly not," replied the attorney. "1 do not know anj tiling of the whereabouts of the witnesses any more than that I know some of them are dead. It is a well-known fact that in cases of this kind the defense gains great strength by delay, and this case is no exception to the general rule. The decision of the supremo court will necessitate a new trial from beginning to end, introducing new evidence

When askod what the charge brought against Coughlin would be. Mr. Kern looked puzzled. "The men were, tried and sentenced for conspiracy, aud an all the. rest are now dead, I fail to see how Coughlin can be tried for conspiracy. I think he will have to be. charged with murder and that is what will have to bo proven."

Coujchltn Overjoyed.

Joi.iBr, 111., Jan. 20.—Dan Couirhlin received a telegraphic message Thursday night at 6 o'clock whicli informed him of the supreme court's decision. Ho was overjoyed and at once telegraphed the good news to his wife and father.

AKM'HACT (IK 'I'll iMXrMfNt. WASHINGTON, .ran. Presuh'ul Harrison will send to congress within a few days a special message which may have an important beuring upon the possible annexation of anada to the United States. The message, while lealing with a detail of commerce across the border, involves vast commercial interests.

The message will also deal with another form of the question which will prove embarrassing to the subsidized military railroads of Canada. The president will declare that this government has the right to require an inspection by its customs officers of goods received from a territory not contiguous" at one American port and sent btv the high seas to another American port for transshipment. For example. the greater bulk of the silks and tea-*' sr»nt in

English bottoms from the orient for importation into this country are delivered in bond al San 1'ranei^eo, and then sent by vessel to Columbia, in the state of Washington, whence, under seal, they are carried over the Canadian Pacific, and thence across the border to cither New York or some other United States port.

Under the view which President Harrison will take sueh importations would hereafter receive examination by United States customs oflicials upon arriving at San Francisco and the dntv upon them would be immediately levied and collected. The effect of this would be to throw their transportation across the continent into the control of American railways instead of the Canadian military line. These will be the chief points of the much-heralded "retaliatory" message, soon to le transmitted to congress.
