GREENFIELD, Ind, Nov 25-The Trib-
une this evening has the following: THE
gas we'll drilled on the farm of Charles
Gibbs five miles northeast of here, got be-
yond control and tore up everything in
sight between IL and 12 o'clock to-day. The
workman had just packed the well and
got it securely anchored down, when, all
of a sudden, six hundred feet Of the casing
was sent flying in the air, almost out of
signt A loud report was heard, and the
tubing, weighing 10,2c0 pounds, ascended
heavenward. The derrick was torn almost
to pieces The tubing was broken and scat
tered in different directions, pieces falling
as far as 400 feet from the well. One piece,
which came down endways about fifteen
rods from the WELL stuck in the hard ground
at least ten feet, right in the public high
Way and the end which bent over had to
be removed before vehicles could pass.
There were five pieces which came down
and stuck In the ground. varying in depth,
the others falling sideways.
Various parties estimate the flow OF gas
to be 80 100000 cubic feet per day. 1t is I'M
doubtedly the strongest well in the State.
No one was injured luckily, although great
excitement was created in the neghbor-
hood.
The gas, now unrestricted, is rushing out
and roaring like a little Niagara, and the
members of the Citizens Gas and Oil Com
pany are trying to devise some scheme
to get it under control.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.

BRAZIL, Ind, Nov. 25.-Indiana coal
companies have at last accomplished the
dream of years, having succeeded in or
ganizing what is believed to be the biggest
pool ever engineered in the Western coal
business. The price of coal will probably
be given a boost within the next few days,
and once elevated il will be held at the top
notch. Hereafter a consumer can make
nothing by laying in his winter supply of
coal in summer time, as the main object of
the combine just completed here is to keep
coal at the same figure the year around.
The block-coal operators of this district,
after a four days session, adjourned to-
day. They admit that an agreement has
been reached and that hereafter the Indi-
ana Coal Company, of Chicago, which con-
this district, win also control the output OF
the Indiana block-coal mines, with the ex-
ception of a few minorNcompanieS, which it
will freeze out force to sell out in a
very short time. The companies repre-
sented at the meeting are the Superior
Company, Clay County Coal and Mining
Company /. Mcintosh. & Co. and the
Crawford Coal Company. and President
johnson, OF the Jackson Coal and Mining
Company said, to-day. that the Indiana
Coal Company will, hereafter, have charge
mines and that II will probably secure the
remaining - per cent. soon. Mr.. johnson
saws the Indiana operators feel that they
are now in better shape than ever and that

food from the floor. They could not keep
warm with the slim supply of wood and
when found two of the little girls were sit
ting on the floor trying TO Keen their bare
feet warm i'm a pillow. This afternoon the
children were taken to the Orphans Home.
The family came here from Champaign

married another woman. Then he brought
on his family and the two women lived in
the same house until the second left and
was taken care of at the iniirmary. Faulk-
ner. who had fed, returned and stole away

missing ever since
