Close of the Caae For the State In The Connaughton Murder Trial Mr. Harding's Sensational Statement. "Ihe prosecution rested Sn ahe Isaacs marder trial yesterday evening. At the afternoon session Miss Jennie Ransom testified that on the evening of tbe shooting she left her home on Cedar stieet shortly before 6 o'clock, and started for the grocery. When three squares from borne sbe met Isaacs, at the corner of Cedar and Howard streets.

It was about fifteen minutes afSer six. She could not say whether he wore a bat or cap, but he carried a nib'er coat. Edward Vance. No. 2 South East street, passeit Isaacs on Virginia avenac, below the Union trkeks.

on the evening of tbe shooting. Isea.s was walking noun. Witness fixed the tune at Enoch J. William, one of the men ou whose Wsi.mouy Isaacs was indicted, was next Called. He said tie bad known the acoused for seventeen yeara.

f' On tbe night of the mur Jcr be was on Virgirjia avenue, a short distance south oi No. 122, hen he heard two shots' tired on the south side of tiie tiouse. i He beard someone running, and later Haw two men scuflling on the sidewalk. Both men started east in tne coal yard, and then one more shot "was fired. Witness ran totheoor ner pi ihv coal shed aud saw Isaacs fire fhe third sh A directly at ihe msti who was rinutug.

Alter the ghot l. aacs ran east toward the cars, and witness thouKhl he era i under them, hen the last shot was fired Rctuhold hod just turned Hie northwest corner of the house. Mr. Hardiug put illiam through the tirocess of a rattling cross examination. He he was fifteen or tweuty leet lroni Isaacs when he shot.

He didn't know why be said nothing to him. Witness said he remained lu the neighborhood until Couuaughtou was taken to the station. He wanted to keep out of tne case, and hi wile was the first person he spoke to about it. On one occasion be heard Isaacs talking about the killing and toid bun he knew he was the man who did it. Being asked it Isaacs had not refused him half a dollar on the occasion, he answered no.

Ex Constable Rein hold detailed the circumstances attending the attempted arrest of Connaughton, telling how tbe murdered man struck h.m and stained to run. He tired once in the air aud oncehu the ground with his revolver. He met Servant Sauers at the avenue gate, and while spoke toiret her two more not were bred. They aiked in the direction of the shouting, and north of the bouse a man came up wliom Iteinhol.l tlioushl to be Isaacs. Witness admitted.

'op cross examination, that be stated iu the sherirTs office that he thought it strange that Isaacs bad not been indicted. Counaughton's dying stuleinent was read. He thought the man who shot him wore a slouch hat aud had a heavy black mustache. This closed $he state's case, and Mr. Hnrdine Inade a statement of what the defendant would be able to pri e.

Tno shooting occurred at 6:4., and at thai time it would be shown that accused was in Snort drug store, on South Illinois struet. It would be shown that one ot Isaacs revolvers was at Lew ark Pcarl strect stable, and tbe other had lieen sold to a merchant policeman. (June a stir as created by counsel's declaration that a witness would appear who would swear that the man who tired the first shot tired tbe last. Miss Gertrude Isaacs, dauxhlerof the accused, was the first witnese lof defense. Her father left home at 0:10 on the evening of the shooting, wearing a heavy overcoat and a fur cap.

Thomas Forbes, employed at Lewark's stable, testified that Isaacs was that place as early as a quarter before 7 on the eveiuug of the The evidence this morniin; was rat her monotonous, leini: iriven tip largely to establishing an Hlii.i. Thomas McMahou was the tint witness, He saw Isuucs 2) miuutes of 7 iu I ewark's stable, and handed him ills coat and revolver. Isiacs went out but returned In a few minutes, and together they went around to Coy's saloon and took a drink, ile fixed tho time of the first call at about Gus Paul was next colled. He saw Isaacs at tbe stable at about 0:30 or later. W.

Lee saw the accused on Illinois street, between I'earl and at or thcrcaliouta. John Harry followed ith the statement that lie met Isaacs in Coy's tween and 7 o'clock. He did not know whether be wore a hat or William Wachstetter, bartender in Coy's place, remembered tiie prisoner's visit to tho salon and the fact that he sold him a drink. He remembered that the hour was nearly 7 hecauso that was the time for him lo go ot! atch. On croes examinution, Lajor Mitchell provoked some merriment by asking if the o'clock mentioned by witness was the same one by which the saloon was osed at 11.

The fact that Isaacs was neur the occidental comer at the tune the shooting occurred was slated emphuticHiiv bv Nathan Rheinhelnier, J. WParker. Levi C. "Bal'lard and Nathan Schatl, of the Occidental clothing store. Mr.

Rheiniicimer recalled the tact that he set his watch about the time Isaucs passed, thu time liemg twenty minutes of seven. W. T. Oweussaw Isaacs at the corner and thought be wore a rap. Ben Irving and Win.

SEW COSsUMPTlOX CURE. Dr. Maxwell and Other Give Interesting; Account ol tho Treatxneat. At the m. etlng of the County Medical society.

It. Allison Maxwell gave an interesting account of the hyJrfttren sulphide treatment tor consumption. This treatment, he said, was' first advocated by Claude Bernard before the Academy of Scieuces at Paris in IS7. but no attention was paid to it until three or four years ago, when Dr." Bergam, of Lyons, France, Dr. Mohd and other bewail experimenting with It on animals and afterward on leople, claiming to have entirely cured some of their patients and greatly relieved others, dn this country, tne fiist tnal was made by Dr.

Mclaughlin, in the Philadelphia hospital, last February, and the treatment had been lu use there since. It was to bivestigate it and the Condi' ion of the patie that Maxwell visited that city. He found that all the persons under treatment, 'who undoubtedly had consumption, bad been benefited by the treatment. Tbe solution used consisted of the pulphide of sodium and chloride of sodium, each five grains in tweuty lour ounce of water, and through this solution carbonic acid gas wa wen one cases had been under treatment there and all had gained in weight from three to thirteen pounds. Uniformly iu these casts the night sweats were controlled, the couqh and expectoration iarvely relieved, tbe tongue cleaned ori, the appetite the temperature, became nor mal ana tne puiso ana respiration" became less broken.

Dr. Maxwell said that sjtice his return he had beeu using the luinu 4 Co. apparatus aud had lour patients under treatment, but not long enough (only a weekf to give any'special results, 'l wo of these have gained In strength, their tongues have cleaned off. and both have excellent appetites and bave increased iu weight, lu one the temperature has dropped ofl from 101 to vo. and She is now able to waiic three squares, where before sbe bas not walked one square in two month.

Her niirht eats, inch were Very troublesouiS. have about disappeared, aud she does not couch and expectorate mom than half as much as she did beiore. Dr. Maxwell said. In conclusion, that these were results to be toank tul lor.

even it nothing further should be accom plished, but that no one should be too sanguine of the new treatment, which may not control all the bad symptoms and may sometime entirely fail to do cood. i In tbe discussion which followed Prs. Elder and Henthorue made reports of cases treated by them, which were alike indicative of the efficiency of the treatment, and the favorable symptom In their cases were exactly the same as those described bv.Dr. Maxwell decrease ol tempera ture, catj ation of night sweats, a gaining in flesh and in aTpetite and a general strengthening.

Manrlco Thompson eas tho Tar ions Theories to Account For tho Fluid Prog roas of tho Search la tho state. That "trapesing" jsdc. Rumor, has been' busy; circulating reports to day about the gas well at Bridgeport. It is a repetition of the Brightwood experience.

Everybody ha heard that Trenton rock and gas were struck at about nine hundred feet, but examination discloses that no gas lias been as yet foutuL The Bndceport well Is down close to the Tren ton, and the drillers exect to pierce tbe rock tonight perhaps late thi af.ernoon. Some of the director of the company went out to tne well this forenoon and remained all day. One of them says that be has no great expectations concerning this well. He savs that fhe rock has the identi cal appearance of that found in well sunk by the pas company on South street. There are nu stains traceable either to gas or oiL Yet no man can tell what lies down feet under his feet until ne baa found out, and the speaker thought there might be a happy disappointment.

There is cenerai confidence on the street that Indianapolis til have natural gas, if she has to go to another count to get it. ihe great well at Noblcsvllle is one of the richest find in this western It produces several million feet of gas per day, and capitalists who have i been there say that it ceserves tne name given it Noblesville is only twenty two miles away, and gas could be pid to Indianapolis to advantage. At Pittsbunr ess is carried many miles further than the distance from Indianapolis to Nobles viile. There is talk already ot forming a pipe line compauvbut no active steps will be taken. probably, until it is known whether ga can be nad nearer norae.

Allen M. letcuer ana ly m. Hoot have been up to see the Noblcsvllle well. Thev say that It Is much the slroturest well In Ihe state both as to volume and pressure. Other wells are being sunx in the vicinity oi the nig one ana Noblesvule will doubtless be the source of Indianapolis gas it there are no further discoveries.

One of the Indianapolis companies has alreudy purcnased ground at otiesviue and alter experimenting here It will sink wells there. A gentleman who has been looking Into the natural gas question at Pittsburg furnishes some interesting facts. The mains for natural gas must be double the stremnh required for the manufactured article. Twenty seven thousand cubic feet of natural gas bave the same heating capacity as one ton of coal. Private bouses consume by meter about 6,000 feet daily of natural gas; without meter, about twice that amount.

Man ufactured gas has eighteen candle power; natural eaa. sevvlt Allejrlicny. a city ot SM.Oud inhabitant, consume 40,000,000. feet of gas dally. Indianapolis would require fully as much.

The former city has consumers. The requirements of a rolling mill are estimated at 4.0i,iHX) teet daily. Pittsburg gas men are of tne opinion that gas can never be niaiiutactured cheaply enough to substitute lor nstural gas. Leonader Wiles, a Nobiesville gentleman in town to diy. savs that values of real estate at Nobiesville ami for miles around, are steadily ap freclating under the influence of natural gaa.

or his own farm he' baa been offered 'X) per acre, about 1'J more to the acre than it was supposed to be worth a few weeks ago. They hsve a gas well at Lebanon. It is reported, without accompanying affidavits, that lor 344 tee4 the drill penetrated nothing but the black loam such as covers the surface of Boone county. No rock or solid ground wa found, sud at the' depth indicated a wairon tire and a rubber shoe were struck by the drill. The directors of the Capitsl City Gas company met around tbe hole iu tne ground fat Brightwood yesterday evening and put their heads together.

The question with tnem wa whether to bore fleeter for gas or to abandon tbe well and try elsewhere. The drill had reached a depth of 1.020 feet, when the directors came to the conclusion that they would continue to bore until a depth of 1,300 feet is reached. It ia regaled as Conclusive that the rock reached ou Monday night was Trenton (in which all tbe Indiana gaa has been found), yet the drillers, who are experts, say that the conditions arc not altogether discouraging. Gas has frequently been found iu the I'enusvlvan ia fields at depths varying trom 1.WI0 to feet. The drill lias been passing through a very hard, flinty rock, through which no gas could pass.

It is hoped, though not confidently, that tic low this rock gas may be found. State Geo.ottist Maurice Thomson, in speaking of the firigiu of gas. says that two theories have been trtveu prominence by the scientific people. One Connects the generation of gas witb the presence of petroleum iu the rock here gas bus been found. The other accounts for gaa on tbe supposition that it baa been originated by the de comi of water, either by Unit fluid coming into contact with hot metal or by the operation of si chemical law which separate the water's by.irofou from Us other constituents.

As to tho first, bv says it is passably plausible, bat has no Water might percolate through the rocks, descend to a point where it would be converted into vapor by the heat of the interior ot the earth, then rise, and coming into contact with hented metal be diromposcd, thus liberating the hydrogen, 'i bis hydrogen would seek tbe highest reservoirs, hich ould be the Trenton rock. This theory is therefore unobjectionable, save that there are no supHrting facta, Mr. Thompson prefers the other theory as simpler and susceptible of demonstration. Take an armful of pine wood and slowly burn it in a covered oven, the result will be an escape of gases sud a deposition of tar. The rutting of wood deep underground is nothing but slow, smothered burning.

The oily and resinous matters of the vegetable body are deposited in tbe earth. Amber is a mineral resin, or gum, as everybody knows. When the pine wood i Uirned in the closed oven the tar is separated from the fibrous substance, and tbe latter is left in the form of charcoal. So when the wossj, by an almost infinitely process, decays fiiider great pressure deep in the earth it parts with more or less of its oil and resin, and takes the form of coaL herever logs or plant matter is buried, gas is formed sud will burn when freed. Trenton limestone ftiUndiana is overlaid with a havy deposit of clay) shales, very carboniferous.

This shale is corn pact and impervious to gas, but the limestone; is pordtia. If these shales ever contained tbe oiiy nialterjiof plants and were subjected to great pressure, the oil would be expressed and would mn down into the porous Trenton limestone. There it won Id be subject to still further decomposition, in the course of which it would liberate a large quantity of hydrocarbon gas. he soulu siders interested in finding gas have appointed a committee to perfect theorganizatitiii of" a company and report at a meeting to be held Monuay uignc Uniting In the State.
