o the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:

To the Edtor of the Indianapolis Journal
notice in this mornings issue of you paper
a numerously signed call for second meeting of
the merchants of this city for che purpose, as
understand itof organizing Merchants Associa-
ton on asnHsiness basis. / am glad to see such
agitation just now, as it will doubtless open up
the way for a system of cheap excursions during
the spring and summer, such as have been run
before and resulted in such vast good to the re-
tail interests of our city. presume the
average retail dealer little dreams Of the
amount of good derived from the When's cheap
business excursions that have been run
from time to time on the several lines centering
here Then the question arises II one house can
make success of such an enterprise, why not
the combined effort of the merchants of city of
over a hundred thousand people2 That we have
great retail center no one questions. And in
order to further increase our volume of trade we
have only to increase our facilities for getting
the consumers here. / made it point at one
time, with others, 80 calculate the value of goods
taken out on one of the when" excursions. and
/ could scarcely believe my own figures when
they showed a footing of nearly $40 600, to say
nothing of goods bought and shipped either by
freight or express. Now the most of this
was unquestionably the result of the low
rates offered for the occasion. That a
system of cheap excursions can be maintained is
no longer problem in doubt, but an assured
fact and one that certainly claims the attention
and support of every retail dealer in the city.
Nor should the expenses OF this enterprise be
borne by the few; it should be universal No
one dealer should sit back in his chair and say,
cit is no concern of mine" But the subscrip-
ton papers for the maintenance of this asso
ciation-in furnishing ample means to
back any enterprise that will fur
Their our interests and increase our
volume of trade-should be signed by every
wholesale and retail dealer in this city. Your
being small dealer will not excuse you, as every
business interest, however small, and Of what
ever character, is at one time or other more or
less benefited Let every business man take
hold of the enterprise and success will surely
crown the effort. "You may have stone and
timber, but they are not fashioned into temples
without the artisans skill, nor do merchants make
fortunes without the artisans dollar"

a large audience. His subject was Sentence
Against an Evil Work Delayed" In the course
of his remarks he took grounds against voting
to elect Of no principle to Office. and against
the practice of buying votes, now becoming so
common. He said the latter was the forerunner

In 1865 and 1866 there was great excitement In
Crawford and Harrison counties, Indiana, at
points distant from twenty-five to thirty five
niles from New Albany. There were many in
4ieations of oil found in the experiments made,
particularly in Crawford county, and the excite
ment ran so high that capitalists from Pittsburg
Louisville Cincinnati and New Albany leased
thousands of acres of land upon which it was
supposed coal oil would be found in paying guam
the machinery for drilling wells was in those
days very crude, the wooden sweep being
mostly used instead of the steam propelled and
heavy steel drills of the present day. The forma-
ton was found TO be of heavily -bedded limestone
extending to depth of three or four hundred
Feet. alternating with tenacious blue clay. a
Ainty shale and other strata of limestone and
sandstone. The prospectors soor became dis
eouraged, few of them going down as deep as a
thousand feet, most Of them not over four or
i've hundred feet Yet in nearly every well
punk, oil III greater or less quantities was found;
bat about this time the great discoveries in the
Gil districts of Pennsylvania, West Virginia,
Kentucky and Ohio caused such excitement as
to divert attention from the Crawford county
field and operations therein ceased.
Recently, however, the interest in the Craw
ford county district has been revived, and that
county is now being visited by holders of old
leases, and preparations are again being made to
develop the territory. Some of the old wells in
the neighborhood of Marietta are being deepened.
aud % number of new wells are to be sunk. 1t is
believed that in the prosecution of these expert
ments natural gas will be discovered in sufficient
volume to justify piping it to New Albany and
Louisville for a fuel in the manufactures
and for lighting purposes The men holding
leases are very confident that both oil and nat
uraI gas exist in large bodies in Crawford
county. One man, Silas T. Lamb of New AL
bany, claims to own leases that cover nearly the
entire town of English, on the Air line railroad,
including the new and fine hotel and summer
sort of DR.. Lakewood, at the Sulphur Wells
near English. He says he will sink wells on his
leased lands Immediately in the town of English.
His lease covers G. 600 acres
The excitement in relation to recent oil dis
e0veries runs very high in Crawford county, and
1t is certain the problem Of its existence in pay
ing quantities, as we'll as the existence of nat
ural gas, will soon be solved by the thorough ex-
periments for which preparations are Inow act
lively making.
