Correspondence of the Indianapolis Journal. Columbus, Sept 2L —Lieutenant-governor Hanna’s speech- here last evening was a fine effort,’aud was well received. That part of it which, took up Mr. Hendricks's cry. for a change waaespeeially good. He showed that the demandfor a change is for the reason that they want office. "Mr. Hendricks did not want a change in 1860, when the Democratic party had been in power sixty years. In 1864 he said ‘Abraham Lincoln, the.smutty tyrant, ought to be driven .from the-White House with a bundle: of switches.’ In 1868 and in 1872. when the hero of Appomattox was elected,he cried fora change; aad:in 1876 he wanted a change—wanted in himself as he does now, in 1884.” A Fountain County Rally.

KEEH’S TAI’ORIC GANNON. The Motor Man at Last Invents Something that Promises To Be of Dae.. New Yock Bon. About twenty stibsiantial-looking men gob off from the Philadelphia train when it stopped in the Jersey Central depot, in Jersey City, at 11 o’clock yesterday morning, One. of them waa a. tall’hun in. derkclothingnnii a whlte Derby hht. Bis complexion: was sallow, his eyes black and glittering,, and hia black side-whiskers were com nectedbya. blaekmustacha Be superintended, with'a good ideal .Os kolibitade, the landing of two heavy bhxes from the baggage, oar, the other gentlemen of the paxty;watching his quick,. nervous movements with mingled admiration and awe. Thb boxes were lowered to the platform. One of them-vras of heavy wood and’was about eight feet long, by two feet wide and one foot d6ep. It had three strong.iron handles on. each. side, 1 ike a coffin. The other was - about. three . feet ldng, and similar; to. the fitst. Both were-rev-erently carried to a Pennsylvania, rail-fray tug: which, was in.waiting, and the twenty or more ■ men, headdd by the sallow gentldman, followed them in solemn procession on. board.; The? tng was soon scurrying across the bay, bound for Sandy Hook, .where Mr. Keely, the gentleman of .the sallow complexion, was’to give the . first public exhibition of the powers, of that mysterious giant which the 1,500 holders of. Keely motor stock hope hi? has now got so nearly under control that he will soon have it patiently turning crankk? and putting its incomprehensible strength to other valuable uses. The alleged giant waain-the boxes, confined "in thick iron cylinders, suggestive of copper soda water fountains. Mr. Keely, it was explained, had conjured it into existence four days before, chained it. and was taking it to Sandy Hook to make it throw 4}-ounce leaden and chilled bullets at the targets of the government range. Colonel Hamilton, of'Fort Hamilton, had got the authority of the Secretary of War to use the range. * * * . Headed by the band,, the procession marched: to where Mr. Keely, in his shirt sleeves, and Colonel Hamilton in spec tastes -and a white fatigue cap, were bending: over a queer little cannon mounted.on, eightaendnch wheels. In the sand near, by lay the empty boxes, and on the small platform on which theeaunon; stood rested the giant, fast held in his two iron cylinders. The little cyjinder was connected, with- the- big one,by a.flexible metal tube about three feet in length, and a similar and larger tube connected the bigxylindor with a-chamber in the butt of the gun. This chamber, it was said,, wonld.hold about half a pint ot the giant. Mr. Keely worked silently. Notwithstanding the fact that his hands are swollen and distorted in- the most extraordinary-way; he moved them nimbly and. delicately. Although each of his fingers is almost as large aa the thumb of a boxing glove, it is-said'he has a singularly sensitive touch. He unscrewed the barrel of this gun from the butt, piaced a circular bit of rubber over the opening: into the vapor chamber, screwed on the muzzle again, rammed down a closely fitting bullet about the size of an ordidary grape shot, and the gun was loaded. “All ready/' said Col Hamilton. “Let her go, John,” said Director Baldwin. Mr. Keely bent over the large tube and gently tapped it with, a wooden hammer in-two or three places; then ha turned, a. cock quickly andtapped lightly on. the reservoir in the but of the gun. There was dead silence for a few seconds, then a rush of bluish vapor from the muzzle of the gun, a sham report, and the ball buried itself in the sand to the right of the target 500

yards away. Several shots were fired, and twice the target washit Then the velocity was tested,, and found to be about three-fifths of that which would have been derived : from a proportionate charge oft gunpowder. Then- three-inch spruce planks were set up about ten-feet away; audi'a chilled steel Minie ball driven through one of them and half way through the one behind it ‘-That ia equivalent to piercing seven- and a half inches of pine,” said Gokmel Hamilton. “I have now-fired nineteen shots,” said Mr. Keely. “and 1 could fire 200 more.. I have not appreciably diminished the store of vapor, in the cylinders. I have enough left to give three more exhibitions of lour or five hours each. The intensity of the positive tube-lias gone down 1-4 P; the negative has not been touched. ” “May Isay,” said a reporter to the Colonel, while Mr.-Keely was packing up, “that you regard this; as a force'heretofore unknown?” “No you can hardly j say that, i You may say; that it is beyond me, I do not know what it is, and whether it is anew force, or anew application- of hn old force it is very, wonderful. It resembles no form of compressed air that I have ever known, and it does not answer to the test of carbonic acid gas. AS to the merits of the gun as-a weapon, it might haveits -uses ’” “It was.not the- idea/’ said: President Edey, “to test the merits of the gun. The gun- was the most convenient instrument with which togive an exhibition of the dynamic force which Mr. Keely has discovered. You regard the gun as the lowest of the applications you .have made of the vapor, do yon not, Mr. Keely?” “The very lowest," said Ml. Keely, The entire party came t back' by the Starin. Shortly after starting all assembled in the aftercabin, and Mr.: Keely made-a speech; in whieh he said that by the-:latter • part of. November or the early part of. DooenKter, he-expeeted some grand results, and in thia, current year would dose the matter-out-"in alllts branches. He said he expected to apply the motor to telegraphy, as well as -to the movement of machinery. G. B. Collyer sprokbwrth enthusiasm of the prospect, reviewing*** length the struggle of Mr. Keely-f or the last ten years. There - were -loud, cries for Col. Hamilton, who responded. He repeated whathe hftd sarid to this reporter, and' closed- by saying;; . “Why our :Government dees not: investigate this matter, or why those whose duty it ia to. move do not move, Ido not know. If is wonderful; I have never befbvo'seen’any power which could be.drawn upon for theenergy neceasary to hiurl those nineteen.Bhotß. that did not showsome sensible diminution. Whoever would condemn Buah'a thing aa thig witUerut investigation is a fool.- But I have; with all deference to Mr. Keely; 1 to say that, I regret that he doss- net bear in. mind that his life is uncertain, as. is the life of pll met; and- give this great discovery in its entirety to the world.

I have known many a feliowto be a party to such an act, whoml could not blame—yes, I knruv Mrs* Beecher ia in.tha room; but, nevertheless, I say. that, if T had been in his plaoe, I .should, most Jikely hirve done the same thing. Ido not think if fdir: to assume that short courtships and hasty marriages are the main causes.otf he. prevalence of divorce in America.

The main cause of the. increase of divorce is the reading,of foreign literature, particularly French novels. The teachings of these, are essentially bad, and, whether the. story ia told through a book or on the stage, it is usually demoralizing. “No, I don’t think that the Roman Catholic Church has a great mission to .peiform in this, matter.- Many, I understand, say that‘it has, Wv when divoece is.not sanctioned under any cirourostanoes, a wrong—-a grave wrong— is often, done one of the two parties to the marriage contract.

Butler, after a Rip-Van Wihkla-like sleep, has again blossomed out as a booming oil town. It is now the center of the latest new oil field. The country roads are to-dnv out up by the heavy, broad-tired wagons. Eager speculators on horse, Uhek*ur in-Jmekboards rush to the front, telegraph operators in wooden shells. are overwhelmed with floods of dispatches, and the oil scouts are away up to their ears in business. Butler liverymeu are reaping a harvest of greenbacks; bluff teamsters are fairly coining money, and private individuals who are running dilapidated-and: tane-wer* stage coaches to Phillips City will, soon be able to bay, a.membership, in Butler's new exchange, which, under the. excitement of the moment, has been born and is .flourishing. The cause of all this excitement is the gusher brought in n tfew:dys ago- by the Phillips Bros., on- their lease-on Thom creek. Already Phillips City, has sprung, into existence. Am did red school-house, with decaying wooden buildings, comprises the best portion of the city as it B*andl to-day; but it. will not be-so long. Already, scores of carpenters arc at work. In a; week’s time Phillips City, will be fully supplied with bar-rooms, restaurants, hbtols, hardware and:general stones and gambling-rooms. ThePostal Telegraph Company was the first in.: the field. The one man who was sent out to take charge says he never wants another such an experience. Over 1.000 messages were-filed in less tnan ten hours. The Western Union has opened an office, and both companies are doing a vast amount of business. Although the Phillips wuH was brought in- several days ago, its im nrense production, whiah averages close to 2,000 barrels a day, shows no perceptible signs ot failing off. The Phillips well is to-day the biggest oil well in the world. The report that the well had been purchased by-the -Union . Oil Comp? ny is untrue. The well has already produced over 25,000 barrels of oil, and it is expected that the-. output will exceed 40,000 ere the well of the Johnson brothers,' now drilling; is-finished: Tharenne^mow* twenty-eight oil rigs, im course of erection. Inafew weeks the valley will present a picturesque appearance, with' its score of rigs and its fresh-lookittg wooden-oil tanks. On Sunday the well flowed at the rate of 3,300 barrels, and at- noon yesterday was dding 138 barrels per hour.- Thb well has put more than 35/000- barrels-into the pipe line,-and is-just twenty-two days old/ Thousands visit the well’ daily: ** A Free Park-at> Niagara.

BIAIIJ,.- FAlfi PROSPECTS. Gajl Blitter Will Be Preient—Other Candidates Invited—Jersey Cattle Admitted. A meeting of the executive committee of the State Board of Agriculture was held yesterday, and after carefully considering the possible daaggf of, the spreading of pieuro-pnenmonia among cattle if Jerseyß are admitted. to the exhibition at the State fair, adopted the-follow-ing in relation to the matter: ‘ Whereas, Tha Illinois aad St. Louia Boards of Agriculture have, on account of the disease known as i>leim>.pueßtnooia,prevajling among,cattle, and especially among the Jerseys, prohibited this breed from exhibition at their fairs, and believing it our duty to exercise all practicable precant-ion to prevent such disease from spreading; therefore, ’iloeolvod. That all cattle willbe allowed.to compete at the Indiana State fair as usual, but that before entenng the grounds they must- be subjected to the inspeetion.o* a veterinary surgeon, who shall judge that they are free from disease aud safe, in this respect, to be admitted hmong-other cattle, and that a veterinary surgeon will be provided by the board, and have his office at the catue entrance gate.” A number of cattle exhibitors were in attendance at - the-meeting-and manifested much concern;, in the action of ■ the committee. One of the members of. the committee expressed the opininn: that tho reported’prevalence of pleuropneumonia is very much like- the milk sickness—• it will generally be found that it's in the next county, and ha offered to give SIOO to anybody who knew of a single well-developed case of the disease. It was decided that there was as much reason to exclude other breeds of cattle-from the fair as- the Jerseys, because all are equally susceptible* and the conclusion that there ia no danger from the disease was unanimous. Ben Butler, the Greenback candidate for President, will be. in attendance -at the fair either on Tuesday or Thursday. It is the desire of the executive committee that he shall come on Tuesday, and thfe Greenbackers representing Mrr Butler hae.agreed to make arrangements accordingly. * “Will he deliver an address?” a Journal reporter asked Secretary Heron. “If he does,” was the reply, “it must ■be restricted wholly to agriculture and matters appropriate to the occasion. We don’t care whether be delivers a speech in the?city or nut, but we will not allow anything political on the fair grounds ” “Will any of the-other candidates be in attendance at the fair?” “We have invited all. Mr. Hendrioks, of course, will b 6 here, and we are trying to get Senator Logan to-be here with him. We have invited both Blaine and Cleveland, and, as Mr. Blaine is coming West, we believe that we wilf" be able to induce him to come here. St John will be here; but we don’t know on what day;" A committee representing-.*: the Indianapolis Light Infantry submitted a proposition, to the effect that the company would give an exhibition drill for $l5O. It was not aeeapted; but it was. decided to offer a premium of $75 for .the-best infantry drill, to .be given on Wednesday, open to competition between any of the companies. If was decided to give free admittance to the grounds to: all uniformed: bands aad. to. all pioneers over seventyrflve years old. The Grangers applied for space on the grounds for the headquarters of their order, where ail members wiilbe received, aod where;meetings willbe held,during the.week,- The superintendent was directed to make arrangements with the representatives of the order, giving them the desired space.
