A Written Proposition That Has Been
Accepted Awaits Action of Trust
Directors.

The Consumers Natural Gas Company
has made a proposition to the keystone
Gas and Oil Company to buy all the nat
ural gas the latter company can furnish
By the terms of the proposition made by
the Consumers company, the keystone
company is to furnish gas at a small figure
a thousand feet. Efforts made yesterday
to learn the price the Consumers COM
pany proposes to pay for the gas were I'M
awaiting and it was even denied that ne
gotiations are pending. 1t is known to an
absolute certainty, however, that the Con-
sumer5' company has made a written prop
ostion to the keystone company. which
has been accepted. 1t is known also that
the written proposition, accepted by the
Keystone company, was placed in the
hands of Bement Lyman, secretary of the
Consumers company, Tuesday afternoon
Before the deal is closed the proposition
must be accepted and confirmed by the d.
rectors of the Consumers company. 1t is
likely that the directors of the Consumers
company will meet soon, perhaps to-day or
tomorrow, to consider the question.
If the proposition is ratified by the d.
rectors of the Consumers company, mains
to the gas field of the Keystone company
will be laid at once, as the Consumers
company is said to be short in it's supply
of gas, ana is unQeT the Necessity OL oollS
something at once to increase the supply.
A man who is thoroughly conversant with
the affairs of the Consumers company said
yesterday that it will be the utmost folly
if the proposition accepted by the Keystone
company is not confirmed by the directors
of the former company, as at this time the
Consumers company is in no condition to
enter upon another winter without an ac-
celebrated supply of gas. He says that it
will be extremely unfortunate to the pa
irons of the Consumers company if some
arrangements are not made at this time
with the keystone company. The Key
stone company, it is understood Will at
once proceed to lay mains and begin sup
plying Indianapolis patrons with gas If the
negotiations with the Consumers company
are not perfected.
While the keystone. company has pro-
posed to sell its supply to the Consumers
company at a low figure a thousand feet,
measured by the meter. the company
claims it is Indifferent as to whether it is
accepted as the members think there is no
question to whether a franchise, per-
hitting it to fay mains and supply gas to
private consumers would be granted by the
city authorities. considering the general dis
satisfaction, and unless negotiations with
the Consumers company are completed
that course will be adopted

Carver stiII Searches the River.

Philip Carver, of Haughville, and his
fellow-searchers are still pursuing their ca
lie method in their search for the body of
Garver's wife. They did not cease their
lators yesterday until after dark, at which
time they had reached a point about 1000
feet below the bridge. The fields both
above and below the bridge have been
searched, but not the slightest clew has
yet been found that would aid the search
ers. The work the river will again be
resumed this morning at daylight. The
spiritualist who gave Mr.. Carver much
alleged valuable information on Wednes-
day, and who said she would return yes
terday and furnish additional information,
failed to keep her engagement. Mr. Carver
says that he can believe nothing else but
that his wife's body is in the river. There
have been many rumors of various kinds
circulated during the past two days, in
which parties were claimed to have seen
the missing woman, but when these were
traced to their source, they proved only
fabrieations, and occupied the time of the
inquirer for naught.

POP TICKET CERTIFIED.
Candidate for Secretary of State Files
the Papers.


The efforts of the Popocratic managers
and the Populist fusionists to force the
Populist State ticket out of the way We're
cut short yesterday afternoon when Sias
NJ. Holcomb the Populist candidate for
Secretary of State, filed in the Governors
office the certificate of nominations of the
State ticket and took the Governors receipt
therefor. The certificate is signed aud ac-
kliowledged by Newell FL. Motzinger and f.
J. S. Robinson, chairman and secretary of
the State convention 1t certifes to the
nomination of all the candidates on the
State ticket except four, who have re-
signed. These are John B. Freeman, flor
Superintendent of Public Instruction. and
A. j. Padgett, Isaac n. Pierce and Nelson
J. Bozarth. all candidates for Appellate
Judge.
A rather funny circumstance developed
in this matter. The fusionists had deter
mined to certify TO the electoral ticket
and to only enc officer en- the State titkrt,
the candidate for State Statistician. But
nobody knows exactly who this candidate
Is. Both the fusionists and the 'niddle-oI-
the-road people have been breaking their
necks during the last two DAYS to locate
Kim. His name was rep rted in the news
papers as j. S. Mckeever and as j. s.
Mckaen, residing IN the Third district. No
body has yet been found VINO knows him
or knows what his postoftice address is,
trict with kilograms and letters in vain n
the effort to find him.
The POpOcratlc managers ulQ not near or
the filing of the Populist certificate until
last evening. Chairman Martin at once
sent for T. f. Jackson (half breed, who
has been helping him manage the Popu-
lists, and a. consultation was held with
Governor Matthews. The Popocrats are
now called upon to make good their bluff
that fusion would progress no further I'M
less the State ticket came down. They
have two theories TO consider. One is that
if they do not accept the combination ticket
put up by the Populists it will so under the
pillow and hammer, and most of the Popu-
lists will vote it straight and thus vote
their State ticket. while if the Popocrats
accept it and only one electoral ticket goes
up and that under the rooster the Populists
may very largely vote straight ticket.
thus giving the Popocratic State ticket the
benefit The second theory to be considered
is the probability that the acceptance Of
the fusion viii drive from Bryan an I'M
known number of men, originally Demo-
Gratis, who are supporting Bryan under
protest but will not vote a ticket that has
Populist names upon it, There is a, delicate
question to be determined here, and it must
be determined quickly. The Popocratic
managers would like to have some sign
by which they could be guided and it
would not be surprising if they should ask
'tOld Man Pope" for some manifestation
from the spirit world.

Delaying Election Board Meeting
Matthews and the Merchants.

In Indiana, as elsewhere throughout the
country. the Popocraic managers seem to
be making a desperate effort to keep the
ticket nominated by the National Demo-
Gratis off the official ballot sheets. The
primary decision Of the case lies with the
State Election Board, upon which the Popo-
Gratis have a majority. the board being
composed of the Governor and one repre-
sentative of each of the two great parties
1t Will be remembered that Governor Mat
thews was so anxious to have a man OF his

Holt's successor appointed John w. Kern,
an original sound money man. who Topped
after the Chicago convention and is now
out making speeches for Bryan..
The State Printer must begin work upon
the official ballots by Oct. II in order to
get through with the work. The petition
of the National Democrats necessary to
place their ticket upon the ballot was filed
last Monday, but there has been no meet
ing of the board to pass upon it. First
Governor Matthews is out of town making
speeches and then Mr.. Kern is out. Mr..
Hawkins the Republican member of the
board, has been ready at any time to attend
the meeting. Two members of the board
constitute a quorum for the transaction of
business but the Governor declines to
CO II a meeting until both he and Mr.. Kern
can be present and transact the business
of the board in their own way. Yesterday
the Governor said he was trying to get
meeting, but Mr.. Kern was at West Baden
and could not get back until tomorrow aft
ernoon, while the Governor had an en-
gagenent to speak that would take him
away this morning. There could, therefore,
be no meeting of the board until Monday,
for any legal proceedings in case the deci-
sion is against admitting the sound-money
men under their name and emblem. Gov
ernor Matthews is known to be opposed
to permitting the use of National Demo-
cratic" as the name for the ticket, and is
reported to be opposed to the use of the
picture of Jefferson as an emblem, though
upon what ground he could raise obieC-
ton to this latter 1T is difficult to under
stand. He declined to express himself
the subject yesterday.
Late yester lay afternoon Chairman Pick
chs, of SEe National Demcor ratio State coro>
nittee, called upon Governor Mattlle ws
and held conference with him. The Gov
ernor promised that if he could get Mr..
Kern to cancel an engageme mt to speak at
Jeffersonville this evening he himself would
return from his meeting at North Salem
and meeting of the board would be held
this evening.
