iKrom a Staff Correspondent.] MUNCIE, Ind., December 2^Natural gas is slowly but surely dying from exhaustion. By careful nursing and close attention it may last a few years longer, but In time it will pass away, and the loss to Indiana will be too great to be figured in dollars and cents. But the death of natural gas will lose some of its terrors If the experiments in producing a cheap fuel to take its place «re successful. Many machines for producing fuel gas have been invented, and almost every day brings forth a new device, but most of them are failures. The Ball Brothers’ Manufacturing Company, of this city, feels that It has solved the problem. For several years it has been the opinion of manufacturers that in time they would have a fuel that would take the place of natural gas. They have consulted on the proposition many times, and at one time the idea of moving into the coal country was under serious consideration. Ball Brothers are among the largest manufacturers of fruit jars in the world, and they have an enormous plant here, employing an average of 1,200 persons, and sometimes the number Is increased to 1,500. It would require an average of 100 tons of coal a day to keep the plant going. To move this plant would be an enormous expense, and not a little loss, because It would be Impossible to get the worth of the buildings that must be left behind. For that reason the company has been engaged in trying to find a substitute fuel for natural gas. This substitute ^s known as "prodwier gas.” Producer Gas Process. The process of making producer gas Is simple, though the machinery is expensive. It consists of producing gas from ceal, and while this gas—produced from the coal—is in a heated state, steam is sprayed through it, combining the oxygen with the carbon in the coal and making what is technically known as mixed producer and water gas. By this process it is possible to obtain all the heat units contained in the coal and also a certain amount of heat units contained In the water. This, it is asserted, makes a very cheap and efficient gas, suitable for heating and fuel purposes. The gas thus made is clear, very much like illuminating gas, and can be piped and applied to furnaces, stoves and gas engines In the same manner that natural gaa is used. It can be mixed with natural gas, and this fact will cause the natural gas supply to hold out longer. This producer gas can also be used for illuminating purposes and can be produced from any grade of bituminous coal. The coal rates to Muncle and other towns in the gas belt are very low, and thus the gas can be produced at a very low cost, probably lower than the natural gas Is now costing, and It Is also considerably cheaper than the ordinary producer gas used In connection with glass and Iron furnaces. Possibilities Are Great. Ball Broa propose to mix this gas with the natural gas when the supply of the latter Is short, and when natural gas Is entirely gone they will have a fuel that will supply all their requirements. They are now using a number of gas engines, operating them with natural gas, and the producer gas will enable them to continue their plant without interuption. Thus the question of the removal of the plant from Muncle is settled. A cheap and fully as good substitute for natural gas has been found. It Is expensive to Install a plant to make the gas. the cost being in the neighborhood of 8100,000, but when there are a number of plants, as in Muncle. Marion, Kokomo, Anderson and Elwood, one great plant could be Installed by the combined factories in each city and the gas piped to each factory. But the large factories would likely want their own plants. Anyhow, the manufacturers of Muncle no longer feel alarmed, and there is no more talk of moving their plants from this city. They are investing more money every day and their trade is showing a gradual increase. Muncle’s Rapid Growth. The greatness of Muncle as a manufacturing city is hardly appreciated by those who have not visited the place of late years. Back in the 80s it was a straggling little town. Now it is a healthy, rapidly growing city. A few figures on the Industrial side of Muncle will be Interesting; Number of factories 45 People employed in factories 6,500 Weekly pay rolls 175,000 Yearly pay rolls 83,900,000 Yearly sales of factory products..810,542,000 Cars of freight shipped 27,000 Tons of steel and Iron used 109,00d Feet of lumber used 16,390,000 Bets of buggy wheels made 50,000 Tons of pulp made jo.QOO Shovel handles made 76.000 Tons of strawboard made 19,000 Boxes of window glass made 310,000 Bottles made (gross) 235,000 Fruit jars made 60,000,000 Burial caskets made 5,000 These figures are not estimates, but the result of inquiry at all of the factories. The banks are unable to give exact figures on the amount of business that Muncle does in a year, but a conservative estimate by one of the leading bankers Is that at least 8126,000,000 of business is yearly transacted In Muncle and the other towns so near that they can almost be called “uburbs Thus It will be seen that cheap fuel is Important to Muncle, for It means the retention of her factories, and without the factories there might be no Muncle.

From 1883 to 1898 Covington, O., was the scene of hls ministerial labors. During hls ministry thero he caused to be erected a 820,000 church, and the congregation became one of the strongest in Ohio. Hit Return to Hagerstown. In 1893 there was a call for an organizer to visit the Muncle (Ind.) field, and the Rev. Mr. Warbinton was selected. He removed te the Indiana city and succeeded In building up an active congregation. After starting the Muncle church he wa* invited to preach at Troy, O., and he labored there four years with great success. From Troy he was called to Springfield, where he remained until 1898, In that year the Hagerstown church wanted the old pastor to return, and he obeyed the call. He erected a beautiful home, furnished it elegantly, purchased a fine horse and phaeton and expects to spend hia remaining days here. He conducts regular services and preaches with great force. In 1891 the Rev. Mr. Warbinton married Miss Ada O. Harrod, a daughter of the Rev. Mills Harrod, of Dayton. Miss Harrod was connected with the Payton pub-

almost fifty years, and he remains to-day one of the most influential and prominent ministers in the country. Sixty-eight years ago he was bom in Montgomery county, Indiana, on a farm. After attending Wabash College for three years he entered the ministry, and at a very early age he undertook the labors of a new charge at Darlington, Ind. His salary at first was 850 annually, but this was enhanced every year by 850 until the annual sum paid him was 8450. When It reached that figure he declined to accept a further advance. Hls first pastorate lasted fourteen years, and during that time he built a fine church'and established a strong congregation. Soon after the church at Darlington was built, the Rev. Mr. Warbinton succeeded in having a new church building erected at Wingate, Ind., and later another at Thorntown, Ind., where he lived for a few years. About that time he visited Hagerstown relatives and determined to found a church at this place. The revival meetings that followed during the winter are yet spoken of as inspiring beyond description. A strong church was organized here and a building erected at a cost of 810,000. When that work wap accomplished he returned to Antioch church and New Salem, In Clinton county, at both of which points he built new churches and established congregations. Hagerstown invited its founder to return and preach regularly, and he accepted, He continued to live here until 1883, when he removed to CovCLAIM COMPROMISED. The Plaintiff Demands $18,000 and Accepts $4,500. [Special to The Indianapolis News.} LEBANON, Ind., December 2.—The suit of Mrs. Lydia Adair against the American Trust Company, guardian of John Adair, Sr., has been amicably adjusted, and the case was not called to-day. Last March the plaintiff brought suit for 818,000 against her husband’s estate. She married John Adair, October 19, 1876, the second marriage for each. MrA. Adair is sixty-seven years old, while her husband is several years her senior. Mrs. Adair has three children by a former marriage, while Mr. Adair has but two. When she married Adair it was the understanding that he was the owner of 147 acres of land; the rental value 8500 per annum. She also alleges that after the betrothal and before the marriage he secretly conveyed th's land to hls two children. The deed was kept off the record until 1900, and she remained in ignorance of Its existence until after Mr, Adair was declared of unsound mind, and the trust company was appointed guardian, September 10, 1900. She further charges that he gave each of hls children 810,000. After the marriage the Adairs took up their residence on the 159-acre farm bequeathed to her by her former husband. She also claims that Mr. Adair aold without her consent n.WO worth of personal property, and never accounted for It; and* also that he appropriated the proceeds of the farm up to March, 1888, and never accounted therefor. She sued to recover 81,600 for appropriation of personal property, ivlth 6 per cent. Interest from October, 1876, until March, 1901, and for 8500 annually for use Of the realty farm, with 6 per cent. Interest on each 8500, etc. Under terms of the compromise. Mrs. Adair receives 84.500. OLD CRIME RECALLED. Ctoatti of George Stattler, Who Killed Two Young Men. [Special to The Indianapolis New*.] CHESTERFIELD. Ind., December 2.The death of George Stattler, which i> reported to have occurred recently at the home of a relative in Nebraska, closes the last chapter in a famous case, the scene of which wa* two mile* north of here. On the night of March 18, 1868, Stattler murdered Isaac and William Isanogel, age sixteen and twenty-one years, respectively, at the home of their grandmother, by stabbing them In the breast with a pocket knife. Death was instantaneous. Stattler fled, but was captured the next day In a hollow log. He wa* tried in the Delaware Circuit Court and received a life sentence. In 1896 Governor Matthews pardoned him, and he went to the home of relatives in Nebraska. The motive for his crime wa* trivial. His victims had refused him the loan of a horse to go to Anderson on the day previous, and this enraged him. The mother of the boys died here in August last. The house in which the murder occurred is now being used as a stable on the Dunham farm. BOY BLINDED BY POWDER.

[Special to The Indiana poll* New*.] JEFFERSONVILLE. Ind., December 2. —A petition to have a guardian appointed for Edith R. L. McCauley, the seven-year-old daughter of John S. McCauley, by the child’s aunt. Mrs. Rachel C. Glossbrenner, has raised a storm that has found it* way into the Wall-street M. E. church and is causing considerable strife outside. Judge Marsh heard the application Saturday evening and decided that a guardian, to care for the child's remaining estate, should be appointed, but bas given no opinion as to who shall have custody of the little girl. Complications. Which Have Arisen. Mr. McCauley for years has been a leading man of this city, and he was a bookkeeper in Louisville, receiving a high salary. He built a pretty home in this city, and several years ago hls wife died. Then he married her cousin, who, in time, passed away. After her death he married a Miss Swartz, wbo was a sister of Mrs. Glossbrenner. She died and be married Mr*. Almut, a widow, something like two years ago. By the first three wives there are children, seven in all, Edith R. L. McCauley being the only cblld by the third marriage. The firm in Louisville employing Mr. McCauley retired from business, and he established a furniture house in this city. Mr. McCauley had no knowledge of the business, and rapidly sank hls own money and then began to consume that of hls third wife, who had a considerable estate, she being a sister of A. A. Swartz, president of the First National Bank, of this city. Mrs. McCauley joined her husband In mortgages on her own land, and after her death these were foreclosed, leaving the child practically penniless. A few weeks ago the family residence was sold to satisfy a debt, which was the last thing left of Mr. McCauley’s holdings This was knocked down for $2,500, and out of this there will be left about 860O for the child. Trying to Save a Remnant To secure this, Mrs. Glosabrener filed the petition. She set forth that McCauley was not a fit person to care for the little one, a very bright child; that it was not properly clothed, was exposed to cold and not allowed to eat meat. McCauley to a vegetarian and claims U is a sin to kill animals for food. The testimony was probably as conflicting as any ever beard in this county, McCauley proving that his present,wife was kind, even affectionate, to the little girl, and kept her well clothed. On the other hand, witnesses, some of them being McCauley’s own children, denied the testimony offered by the defendant, and said that the child was neglected. Mrs. Glossbrenner, who Is a most estimable, Christian woman, asserts that she has no feeling In the matter further than to look after the comfort of her dead sister's offspring, and haa nw- malice toward Mr. McCauley. The father of the girl is deeply humiliated, and says he will give up hls child if the court holds he has not cared for it. He had forty witnesses summoned to prove otherwise, but Judge Marsh limited each side to eight. Comet from Pioneer Stock. Mr. McCauley comes from a pioneer family, and his father was clerk of the Clark Circuit Court for the four years previous to 1852. He has been an enthusiastic member of the Methodist church, and an officer in the Ohio Falls Holiness Association.
