Th wheat market ia panicky.

Jun wheat broke 7 cents lrom tbe highest figure of the day at 2 o'elock thia O'CLOCK FOUND THE PLACE WHERE NATURAL GAS ABOUNDS. The Indtaaapolts Cosnpany Mass Bis; Strike oa th Iiarria Farm, Near Fisher's fetation, 13 Itilss Nona, i The Indianapolis Natural Gas eompa: baa been ia a high state of expectancy sii. yesterday poos. Two wells, one at Ww field and another at Harris's farm, bave been aunk down to Trenton rock, and it was looked npon as rain that gas would be fonnd in one or The most promising well baa been tbe one on Harris farm. Last night tha drillers reached a depth of 840 feet, and at that point touched Ire a ton rock of a dark and favor ble color.

Au odor of raa was dis cernible, but, deeming it inadvisable to continue operations by artificial light, work was suspended until morning. The Westfield well waa begun before tbe Iiarria well aad for a day or two tbe indications bave not been promising. Several hundred feet of shale were pene trated and it was found that Tren ton rock wonld not be touched short of a thousand leet. Up to noon to day tha total depth reached by tha drill in thia well was 2,000 feet, fifteen leet of which waa in th Trenton rock. There waa a euspicion of gaa ia the odor but hope dwin died as tha drill deepened, and it ia not thought that much of a flow will be found.

Salt water has been encountered. Meantime all attention waa turned toward th Harris well on tba Nobles ville road. twelve miles from the limits of tbis city, Tbe drillers did not resume work until a late hour this morning. A large number of people bad asaembled. Tbe gaa during the night bad made ita way through the rock to the surface in considerable quantities and for rods about it could be detected in tbe atmos phere.

When drilling was resumed it seemed that gaa in large quantities was closest hand. The odor increased at every atrokeot thedrilL At about 650 leet a flow with a perceptible pressure waa discerned. The well is io remote from all telegraphic communication that ita full strength can not be ascertained. Nobleavilie reports that the flow at Harris's is quite strong and improving. It ia evident that th well ia within the gaa belt.

8o instiling of Gather. The first definite Information from the well was received ''at a late hour this after noon. Air. lieorge Branbam, ona of tb directors of the Indianapolis company, tele phoned to the city that, a weil of great strength had been found at Harris's farm. lie says that the' flow of gas is stronger than in i any of the Nobleavilie wells, except, tbe Wainrignt wonder, and superior to the Koto mo or Muncie we lis.

Thia seems to indicate that a well, of' a half million or a million feet ot gas daily has been found. It is a iso assurauc that Indianap olis will nnd gas in paying quantities nearer that Nobleavilie. and that the total distance to be piped will not exceed fifteen miles. The Harris farm ia about three milaa from Fieher'a station on tha 'Lake Erie fc Western railroad. A turnpike to Nobleavilie passe tbe well.

The Indianapolis company, it is understood. iti at once make preparation to uti ize this gaa and will pipe it it to Indu. yi olis. trusting to the council to make im material amendments to tbe gaa ordinance, the' main leatures of which tbe company accepts. Other wells in the earn vicinity are being dug aad more will be sunk at once.

NOT CAREFULLY CONSIDERED Tho Cable Ordinance Open to Objeetioa Sosrgestioaa For tbe Aldermen. Without desiring to oppose' the cable en terprise in itself a good maay citizens would like to be given time to catch tbeir second breath before the ordinance, which haa been prepared by tbe company which hopes to profit by ita passage. becomes a law. The "ordinance waa rushed through the council laat night without consideri ation except in a general way. It ia probable that, were the Citizens' company not, in the estimation of many counciimen, deserving of rebuke, tba cable ordinance would not have been received with auch distinguished Thar ia reason to fear that the council ia flying to ilia aa great aa those already complained of.

Some of the ob actions to the passage ot the ordinance are founded in good reason, not withstanding that so little time for consideration haa been allowed that the merits of the ordinance are not fully It is fortunate that ona of the alderman to day declined1 to asaent to a called meeting to night for tbe passage of the ordinance. After adaytotwo'a reflec tion some needful amendments can be pro pared and th ordinance passed without im pairing ita general features or sacrificing anything heedlessly. there is no reasonable doubt that the sec. tion requiring the annual payment of 3 per ecu of tba gross earnings lu to tbe treasury in lieu of other taxation is illegal and could not be emoreed if it should become a law. Tbe company might thus, 'es cape all taxation.

Even if thia per cent. were willingly paid into tha treasury the company would escape with leas payment than other corporations of equal capi tal. There ia no reason why a city ot wealth and experience ahoald jump at everything without making a reasonable investigation. This clause is oue particularly, that will bear investigation. 'it looks to me tbst the company la more anxiooa to secure a franchise than it ia to build a cable liae," aaid one citizen.

"What do you judge "Ita representatives seem to me to be en tirely too accommodating. They agree to everything. They gladly consent to pave the street lor sixteen leet at the aide of their tracks; they change the route without com plaint, etc. lt occurs to me that thia ia the way companies do which want to secure franchises to speculate on. I can't aee why they want a franchise right off, when they do not propose to begin the work until next spring.

This of itaeli smacks of speculation." Mr. E. F. Clay pool who has bad some experience with cable roauain St. Louis, make souis suggestions that are nertinent: "The council ahoald not permit a cable company to run ita line into Jackson square.

A cable road is almost as dangerous as a If the. grip gets caught in the cable the car can be stopped readily, and at any rate a speed of nine miles per hour, as permitted under th ordinance, too high for the down town street. Bat suppose these ear rua up into Jackson square. They will there encounter carriagea and nnd red of people. Where are tha carriagea and paaaengera to stand, if not iaTbia court? And of what aaiety or additional use will tbe square be if occupied by a double cable line with ears sawing up and down every few minutes.

Thia would be particularly dangereua from the fact that all passenger going to and from the depot will have to cross this court. Besides, the waiting rooms in the new depot will not afford baif enough apace for passengers on state fair and other big daya. The preaent depot does not hold half of the people on excursion occasions and there ia nut enough standing room in tbe waiting rooms of the new one to hold oue fourth the crowda that will gather there in the future. People wiil naturally congregate, therefore, out ia the court aod ao danger should be allowed to menace them there. The cable line might wall end at Meridian street or in the new k.

a. urn iumi ss so om opened. i "Doea It require aix aeoalha for the arcs ration ot the materials for the eoastruetion ot a cable road, and are cabins purchasable ia the market or must they be especially' contracted for?" I know ot no reason why work oa a eable road should be delayed for want ot materials. A cable can ha1 ia thirty days, aad the entire outfit could be commanded in three or lonr months." Another objection to the ordinance is that tor violation of its terms the franchises on the streets named in the ordinance may lb forfeited. Yet the company is granted right en "other streets," and it might be claimed that a forfeiture extended only to those specifically named.

A lapse of iranchise should ineiude Some of the aeeiiona of the ordinance have' been scrutinized at all apparently by coVociL One section grants to the tk. right to lav cable road on the streets named "or others." Under this, if the com' Sany should get into a difficulty with the obnson company, for inslauee, oa the Mississippi street route rather than fight it out. it might determine te choose some "other" street, and. under this ordioauce, could legally do so. It might go cp Tennessee street, for iustance agaioat which remonstrance waa euccesaiully mace last night.

In February last, at a Joint meeting of operators and miners from all the coal statea, it was agreed that the operators should pay for mining bituminous coal 70 cents per ton; for block coal, an advance of 5 cents throughout, So cents, provided the Miners' asaocia tiooa in the various states would so ur the assent to these prices lrom all nf th fltvHlnrf im thai mnAnfi. localities.

Thia schedule went into effect on the first of May. Many of the Indiana. some ot tne onio and ail ot the Pennsylvania operators paid these prices, but as tha coal miners in Illinois and in some sections of the other statea named did not succeed in bring ing tbe operators to tne terms designated, the operators who 'were living to the tired of the unfai advantage which competitors wbo hot paying the schedule had over thlm in the markets. With the first of this month the operators informed the miners that they would no longer pay the advance. Tha Miners' association threatened to precipitate a strike ia all the states where coal la mined if the schedule pricea were not adhered to.

To avert tbis and to counsel as to what should be done, the operators called the meeting in this city. The Pennsylvania delegates did not arrive until this a.Ternoonrand iittleopportunity for badness baa been afforded at the hour of going to press. Colonel S. N. Yeoman, ot Washington Court House.
