Marion Democrat) "We Lave the natural gai bonanza. Uarion has three natural gas wells which can not le excelled, and we very much doubt If Itter of them can be equalled by any town or city on the continent. The companies controlling these wells, as well as oar citizen, are determined these magnificent wells fcbail become an immense advantage to Marlon, and the offers they are prepared to iaakc to manufacturers are of such a liberal character as can not fail to In lace many such establishments to locate here. A1"xeady a very considerable number of gentlemen representing large manufactories of various iinds, employing a force of men ranging in number from 1,600 to 49, hare been here consulting with the committee ot business men appointed for that purpose, and there has not "been one of them but who was most favoraoly impressed with the surroundings, natural advantages and propositions offered them by 3Iariou. Several of these representative men have also purchased large tracts of land, ranging from seventy acres to 150 acres adjoining the corporate limits, and will, as soon as possible, make their arrangements for removing to Marion. Among the character of the establishment already prepared and under consideration are Slass works, paper mills, plow manufactories, wagon manufactories, railroad shops, barrel factories, woolen Kills, self-binding establishments, reaper and mower works, all on a very large scale, ncsidet dozens of lesser manufacturing works of various kinds. That a very considerable number of them will be secured to us there Is no x but little, If any, doubt. Enthusiastic Meeting at Noblesvllle. SoBi.EsviiXE, April 3. A large and enthusiastic meeting of the citizens was held at the court-house last night to perfect a permanent organization for the purpose ot encouraging capitalists to make investments in our midst. H. M. Caylor, V. E. Longley, E. M. Hare, B. Goldsmith, M. C. Haworth ana S. Pierce were lected directors with full power to act I'ropositions for land on which to drill far free gas wells were received and taken under advisement. A syndicate bought of John Bancherd a piece Of ground, for which he gave 8300 a short time ago, paying him fl.COO for if. This transaction Shows that this is a good place for sufe Investments'. The workmen at the Wainn right oil well are down 150 feet. They have been badly delayed by a forty-foot bed of quicksand. The derricks for the oil wells to be bored on the Mallory, Swain and Shumact farms are al most completed, and drilling will commence witt in a tew days at each of them. The mains for the gas are nearly all down, and a great number of citizens have already subscribed for gas. The Fortland ltoom. There are three well now In operation, yielding mrly lix million cubic leetof gas. This Ras Is coming into almost x ilusive use fo fuel lor all purposes and for light in private families, itcres and factories. It is furnished at about one tenth the cost of any other fuel. The gas is offered to all manu ictories 1 icating at Portland, Cincinnati parties arebuving real estate, and the purchases ran up to S 2OO.000 last week. Cincinnati parties have made the big margin) at Findlay, and are reaping the same thins here. Cincinnati parties bave fecored franchise lor a Street railroad, and water works will be built at once. Three large manufacturing concerns have located here, getting their fuel given to them free, and dozens ot other firms are taking advantage of the offer of citizens ol free gas and a gift of the land. The hotels are crowded, and excitement Is running high. Portland Is the county scat of Jay County, situated on the Grand Rapids and Indiana and Lake Eric and- Western railroads, about forty six miles south of Fort Wayne. BeEides these railway facilities, a 1 ne has been surveyed between "Portland and Wabash, thence to Chicago, and its building Is about as good as assured, thus giving the town three roads. Jay County is one of the richest agricultural and rtock-raising counties in the State, and Is intersected with 154 miles of free gravel roads. The farms are mostly of a reasonable s!z?, and the o ners are Industrious, thrifty and prosper 0US. The county has a population of 23,000, anl the city of Portland baa a population ot betwecr. and 5,000. The Anderson Find. (.Anderson Democrat.1 As an attraction the gas well will be, for some time to come, a focal center. Thousands have visited it, and will go again and again to bear its terrible roar, to see it spout and blaze. It is a wonder, a power, a blessing. As we listened to Its thundering voice and beheld its breath of Came the exclamation, ' Will wonders never cease !" was natural. Work began about four weeks since. A der rick about ninety teet high was erected, and, this completed, the work of drilling began and prrxeeded without special interruption. From the rtt indications were favorable, and those engaged in the enterprise were hopeful. The drill was kept at work con .tantly and Wednesday. March 30, at 2.1.0 a. m., at the depth Cf K7 feet, gas was struck, and Anderson's gas Kell, No. 1, began to spout. The flow produced ft tremendous roar indicating a pressure of great power probably greater than that of any Other well In the State, giving assurance that Anderson is, in regard to natural gas, as favorably locafc.1 as any city in the State ; in fact, those who have stulieC'.he subject carefully are of the opinion that Anderson has a centrality within the limits of the gas belt of which few other Indiana towns can boast. That the present is a fast age is abundantly verified by the natural gas enterprise In Andereon, for it was but sixty-four days from the date of the first meeting held to discuss the subject till the gas was Cowing to an extent that aston ished beholders. The meeting was held on January T, and pa was struct March 30. There are now in Anderson about thirty establish ments which will require natural gas to propel their engines, and, it is estimated, that, in the article of coal, a saving of at least f 30,000 a year to the people will be secured, to say nothInKlof the decreased expenditure for wood. As za?ght te supposed, the people of Anderson are ronf.ltnt that a new era has dawned upon Ihe-ir city. From the center to the clrcumfcr tnce of the Ecpublic cheap fuel is regarded as a desideratum, and it would be difficult to Im agine anything in the way of fuel less expensive than natural gas, and, as Anderson has It 3a boundless abundance, the fuel question, for lhis locality, U settled. Business men of An Cerson will now adjust themselves to the new tonditions and surroundings. To talk busl sees is now in order. There can be no discount on the most florid expressions ot Jaltb. In the future of our city. Business will come; it la bound to come. Men, everywhere, are reeking localities, possessing large natural and artificial advantages lor profitable Investments. We challenge the most favored to comI are their advantages with those possessed by Anderson, the beautiful capital XI Madison County. We have all that can be desired.

Another Natural Gas Enterprise. Flaishei d, April 3. The natural gas well which is being drilled at Bridgeport, four miles east of this place, has reached a depth of over SCO feet and the work is still progressing finely. Plalnfield will begin boring just as soon as the necessary machinery can be procured. The well at Bridgeport is the property of an Eastern syndicate, whose intention it is to sink nine wells in the Immediate vicinity. They state that the surface indications both here and at Bridgeport are very promising for both oil and gas. The company here is incorporated with a capital stock cf f 100.C00. Of aU other cities In the State Pialnßeld possesses the best natural advantages for a great manufacturing center, should gas be discovered. Danville, this county, ia order nat to be out Jone by its more enterprising neighbor, will also bore. Gas and OH Notes. Kokomo is forging ahead at railroad speed, claiming the most powerful gas outputs of the entire belt. Manufacturing interests are center ing there to a wonderful eitcnt, real estate Is advancing to fabulous figures, and the Kokomokes generally are flying at a dizzy height. The oil well at Francisville. Pulaski County, was shot Thursday by the contractor, with fifty founds ol nltro-glycerine, with remarkable results, a flow of- 120 barrels per day being obtained. The well is proving a gusher, and there Is much excitement over Its discovery. Thirty thousand dollars' worth of 1'ortland real estate was sold Thursday to A. Morris, of Milton; Rothschild & Bros , Fort Wayne, and others. Tte hotels are crowded with land buy ers, attracted by the gas wells. The Michigan City Company pays $2,100 for a 1, C00-foot well, or if gas is found at a less depth, the contract is to be completed. Logansport has a gas well down SCO ftet and think they are getting in the region or there abouts. Mouticcllo began boring for gas last week. The natuial gas field extends across Indiana from the northeast to the southwest, to say ge ologists. Bloomfield is In the center ot the gas aria. There is not much question but It can be found here at a reasonable depth. With , the richest in n and coal fields in the West, one of the best agricultural, fruit and stock couutles in the State, atd an abundance of natural gas, what is to hinder us from becoming the Magic City ot America?

This was ex pected by everybody, as his story has been made public for months.He lived at the Columbia House on the night of the murder and occupied a room on the second floor, looking down upon the scene of the tragedy. Ue was sitting at the open window on that night, partly undressed; saw four persons on the street when the shot was Cred. There were two persons close together; they were about the middle of the street crossing. They were four leet apart "I saw the man who fired the shot. He was north and a little behind the other about four feet away. The man who snot had on a light straw hat, rubber coat and light pants. He turned and ran across Fourth street and north on Water street. I didn't see him beyond the blacksmith shop. The man who was shot staggered and felL" (Shown the hat sup posed to have been worn by Leavitt.) "The hat I saw on the man looked brighter thau that, with a broader brim. I know John Arensdorl well. The man who fired the shot was not John Arensdorf. I am positive as to that. I; have seen Leavitt. From Leavitt's form, motion, etc., I think he was the man who fired the shot. There was light enough to see them aud recognize them." Smith passed through a searching cross examination. He denied having toll a reporter soon after the murder that he was sick with hay fever, and could not see very well on the night of August 3. Did not say to him that I could but indistinctly see the two men. Did rot say I could not see how the men were dressed ; did not say I could not see the flash of the pifctol; did not know who did the shooting. I recollect telling him something about the aflair. I did not tell the State's Attorney about the matter because I was afraid I would get into trouble, and might not be able to get bonds. When I was arrested arid taken before Justice Foley I had been diiuking. I had been to a funeral and was tecling bad. I did not want to get any cue Into trouble." Six of the representative business meu ot the City testified to John Areusdorfs good moral chai acter. Iii cry A. Lyon test fied to knowing Arensdorf eight or ten years; went to the scene of the murder soon after it occurred: went into the crowd and saw Haddock: went to where the cane lay; when I came back to the side wa.k John Atenidorf was coining west on Fourth fctreet, and I met biro j ast at the corner where Haddock tpoke to him. After speaking to me he went west toward the brewery. 0a the cross' examination he admitted that he had met Dr. Mott while going to the scene of the murder. ne asked the doctor the time, and he said it was 11 o'clock-. Asked the doctor who was shot. Might have told him that if Haddock had been at noroe, where he ought to have been, he would cot have been shot. A few more business men were introduced to prove Leavitt's bad character. A number of depositions were Introduced to prove the untrustworthy character of Leavltt. At 12:30 the court adjourned till 2 o'clock Monlay afternoon. Something New and rxost important. LTallett & Co..
