Bell was convicted of murder in the first

Schmidt was arraigned in the Superior

two lengthy communications from Schmidt

Verdict in the Libel Suit of Ignatius Donnelly
Against st. Paul Newspaper.

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn.. Oct. A.-The jury
in the libel suit of Ignatlus Donnelly
against the Pioneer Press for 100000 dam
ages. tonight brought in verdict giving
Mr.. Donnelly 81 and allowing him SO for
counsel fees.
The trial has been probably the most
famous in legal annals in the Northwest,
and owing to the prominence of the plain
tiff and the matters involved, attracted
the greatest interest. Ignatlus Donnelly,
the famous author alfd former member of
Congress- q leader in the Farmers Alliance
and prominently mentioned for the presi-
Dental nomination of that party. sued the
Pioneer Press for 100000 actual damages on
account of the republication on Feb. 16,
1891, of a letter from Col. w. s. King,

tatlon, which letter had been first pub
ished in the Pioneer Press eleven years
previously. 1t was on account of the allie
cations of bribery made in that letter that
Mr.. Donnelly brought the suit for the
greatest amount ever asked in one suit by
an individual against newspaper. The
Pioneer Press in its defense was under the
disadvantage that all the events alleged in
the letter happened during and prior TO the
session of Congress In 1862 and, with the
exceptions of Col. w. s. King and &. p.
Huntington, of the Southern Pacific rail-
road. no one WAS alive who could assist the
Pioneer Press in Its plea of Justification.
Colonel King was the chief and almost only
witness. His testimony was very explicitly
to the effect that Mr.. Donnelly had both
offered and accepted bribes while member
of Congress.
Mr.. Donnelly's testimony consisted of a
fiat denial of all testimony. unaccOmpanied
by documentary or corroborative evidence.

Der OF Congress. Mr.. DOnnelly explained
that he received the money for services as
attorney, and as to that paid out by him
when q candidate for the United States
Senate he said it was money loaned. The
case was therefore reduced to question OF
the credibility of Colonel King and Mr..
Donnelly, which the jury had to decide.
The jury was out three hours. and at one
stage stood IL TO in favor of the Pioneer
Press.

INDIANA'S GAS FIELD.

Interesting Interview with q Scientist - An

Special TO the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Oct 24.-In an interview
published in this evenings Star. Prof. w.
j. McGee, of the geological survey, who
has had many years official supervision of
the subject, makes some observations about
Indiuna's natural-gas and oil supply from
o scientific, common-sense and practical
stand point, which will be read with a
financial interest by Journal readers. In a
word, Professor McGee does not believe the
Indiana field exhaustablc, if there is sense
exercised i'll consumption, as gas is con-
stantly forming. He says:
The origin of rock-gas and petroleum,
as well as the laws by which they were ac-
cumulated, is so we'll understood that it is
as easy to predict the success or failure of
q prospective bore for oil OF gas as to tell
where an artesiGn well will or will not
fetch water. Scientific investigation has
made known the cause of tho tremendous
pressure under which the gas ana oil are
confined. Every great field in Pcnnsyl-

enormous power.
Rock gas is the same thing as marsh gas,
which is often seen bubbling from the
muddy bottoms of stagnant ponds. Ii. and
the oil likewise were formed originally by
the slow decomposition of woody or other
organic matter contained in the strata of
the earth. Tie making OF both is now in
progress in all rocks containing partly de-
composed organic remains. The question is
often asked, is natural gas yet formingf
