ing Forth and Can Not be Controlled.
MUScIE. IND, Nov. 2O.-The resi-
dents adjoining the city OF Muncie on
the north are badly frightened this
evening. A few days since gas well
was drilled that was better than the
average. Since then pressure has
hourly increased until the volume Of
gas is so great that ii Is impossible to
control it. The same pipe and machin-
ery used to anchor the famous Jumbo"
we'll at Fairmont has proven useless,
sIedge-hammers aud crow-bars cannot
be forced down the hole, and the earth
trembles for some distance away; the
raar OF the monster Is so great that a
mans voice cannot be heard within sew
eral hundred feet Of the well. The con-
tractors, Spellacy and Valley are much
puzzled what 10 do, and are fearful the
gas will be iguited. II the gas could be
measured II is thought that the well
would eclipse the ten million feet mark
per day. Great crowds visited the scene
today. The well is located on the farm
Of George ". epikeE.

Treasury returns Of the principal
classes of exports during October show
a decrease In value Of S15,095, ass as
compared with the totals for the same
month last year. The figures indicate
IN increase in the shipments of petro-
leum, provisions and cattle, but very
large decrease in the clearances of cot

For the four mUnJus OF Uno yUo4 VriV
exports of all breadstuffs are $40,
724 against s1O1, 15s, 321 in 1891. When
we take into consideration the fact that
we pay tor these imports with our ex-
ports and rice uersG it is plain that we
must either curtail our purchases
abroad or else pay Europe the balance
In gold.
The carelessness and reckless extrav-
sVance Of the present administration
and its lack of foresight and wise states
manship has caused no preparation to
be made to meet this change in the COM
mercial tide in cutting down expenses.
Instead we have had increased extrav-
aqance, so that the next session OF Con-
qress will be confronted with an enor-
nous excess Of expenditures over re-
.eints. which must be made good.
It will be complicated situation that
will confront Congress.
Still there is no cause for alarm. The
whole country is feeling better as re-
sult Of the election, and is inspired
with energy and hope. The promise
has been made that the incoming Con-
