following Language occurs: 'Mr. Blaine is very
much elatsd at the result of the election in Maine

will prevent the Maine statesman from going be-
fore the nominating convention in 1885, and
bslieve he will be stronger than ever There is
no question that he can command the undivided

in Mondays contest. OF course it is problemat-

the next campaign. as in the one that preceded

Natural Gas in Delaware County.

Special to the Indfanapolis Journal.
MUNC1E, Sept. 16--Eaton, eleven miles north
of this city, is to-day the scene of much excite
ment, occasioned by the abundant flow of natur-
al gas from the we'll which has just been com
pleted there Several weeks ago a company,
composed of Hon. r. G. Bell and w. W. Worth
ington, of Fort Wayne, and 1lessrs B. F.
Smith, Jesse Nixon. Anne Foorman, George
Carter and others began to drill for oil or gas or
anything of value that they could find. They
were gratified last night about 8 o'clock, when,
upon removing the drill, gas in paying guam
titles came forth from the opening. The
flow is intermittent, and upon be-
ing lighted at times sent a flame
forty, fifty and even sixty feet into the air. AT
other times the pressure seemed to die away,
and the fame assembled but few feet above the
surface. 1t is the purpose Of the company to
sink the we'll deeper, hoDing to get steady and
more powerful flow. The present supply and
pressure are thought sufficient, when confined,
to be of practical utility.
