THE ELECTION FRAUDS.
Leading Democrats Disturbed Over the Pro-
ceedings of the Federal Grand Jury.

The United States grand jury yesterday at
ternoon took up again the Marion county cases.
The list Of witnesses therein is about exhausted,
but there remains an uncertainty as to the time
of closin@the investigation. None of the wit
nesses examined have yet been discharged. The
jury holds them subject to it's call, but it is not
probable they will be wanted any more unless in
exceptional instances. After the testimony is
in an investigation of the altered tally-sheets.
and their comparison with the duplicates, will
no doubt occur, but whether this form of inquiry
shall include recount of the ballots has not
been decided. 1t is expected this question will
come up to-day. Leading Democrats, such as
Congressman Bynum, Leon Bailey ana
others manifested an interest In
affairs about the government building yester-
day. They covered their tracks WELL as the
cause of their agitation did not reach the public.
1t might have been outside of the election fraud
cases. but there is something more than sus-
picion that the testimony in possession OF the
jury has reached the danger point. Somebody
had inside information that several indictments
would be reported, and that there was fever
Of interest among the few. The jury came into
court about o'clock, and, turning over eight
indictments, retired TO continue the examination
of witnesses. AS no arrests had been made, the
names of persons charged with offenses were
withheld but it is known that none of these have
connection with the local frauds.
member of the jury said last night that
there was no desire to give the investigation a
character any other than that of utmost fairness
and an effort to get at the bottom facts. II do
not know the political complexion of the jury"
he continued, land do not think any poll has
been made. We have no interest in local poll
tics, as we come from all parts of the State with
only one member from this city. The questions
asked witnesses have been searching goinginto the
minutest details with the hope of gathering
every particle of evidence. If the facts are such
as to give anything like case, no matter who
they are, you may rest assured indictments will
be returned"
Late yesterday afternoon Judge Woods advised
and tally sheets. if the jury should decide to go
into this class of evidence, the attorneys for the
parties at suit in the quo warranto proceedings
brought by VIM. f. Irwin, criminal Judge elect,
should be present

PROGRESS OF THE DEPOT PROJECT.
The Contracts for the Erection Of the New
Structure Awarded Yesterday.

At last the new Union Depot project has taken
definite shape, and that Indianapolis is to have
its much needed union station of sufficient d.
mansions to accommodate the trains of the IF
teen roads running into it seems an assured
fact, as the contract has been awarded to Joseph
Downey, of Chicago, or at least the award has
been made except putting on the finishing
touches. which will doubtless be done this
morning Mr. Downey is one of the most prom
| inent contractors of Chicago. He built the
Polk street Union depot at Chicago, and several
other of that citys finest buildings and viaducts
He will meet local contractors in a day
or two and talk over subletting of contracts for
certain parts of the work. He Is DESTROYS OF
giving employ ment, 80 far as possible to Indian
apolis laborng men. Delivery of material for
the new structure will be commenced at once,
MIR. Downey being anxious to commence tho
erection Of the depot proper as soon Rs the
weather will permit in the spring.
The cost Of the improvements covered by Mr.
Downey's contract is little less than 5000 600
The contract for building the sheds will be
awarded to G. j. Shultz, of Pittsburg the stipu-
lated price fer his part of the work being nearly
| 1915, 600. The point is now reached where the
| entire cost of the improvements, not including
| the purchase of property, which thus far has
reached cost of 100000, can be safely stated
| as aggregating $3.50, 900.
| For doing the entire work there were but eight
| bidders, while there were ten for the depot
| proper and seven for the sheds The depot will
| be 100 feet square, and the sheds $50 feet long
| by 100 wide. There will be six short tracks and
| Ave long tracks under the sheds, and two tracks
now on the north side of the depot will be trans
| ferred to the south side of the sheds The six
short tracks will be used for accommodation
trains, and the coaches can be reached without
crossing any tracks, while the five tracks run
ming through the sheds will be used by the
through trains. An idea of the capacity of these
sheds can be obtained from the information
thai ESQ PASSENGER coaches can be put under
that the depot will be one of the class of build
ings which. when completed, will be more impos-
| ing and attractive than when drawn on paper,
| and the sheds will be much handsomer struct-
ure than anyone would expect from description
| of their extent and style of finish

THE SURRENDER OF GERONIMO.

GENERAL MILES AND CAPTAIN LAYTON PRAISED
IN THE WAR DEPARTMENT.
WASHINGTON Sept. THE following telegram
confirming the press dispatches received at the
War Department this morning from General y. u
Howard, who is at Fort Mason, San Francisco,
aGeneral Miles has returned to Fort Bowie with
Natchez the son of COchise. Geronimo and ms
brother with three other Apaches, all as prisoners OF
war; Surrender, unconditional. Captain Lawton Is
following with remainder OF hosues, thirty-sn aoui'e
and three children In all"
At the War Department great praise Is bestowed
upon General Miles for the excellent conduct of the
campaipn but General Crooks work is not forgotten
II ia said that the results of General Crooks campaign
wece of great value TO General Miles, and the latter
has substantially followed the plan outlined by his
nredeocssor With increased forces 1t has been pos
sible to guard every water hole and eectuaJ defeat
onv ATTEMPT of the hostes to return to their reserva
ton.
General Drum Acting Secretary of War; was In
GOOD spirits after the receipt of the official dispatch
confirming the press reports of the surrender. lie
said that this was tho end of running with bret
intermis sions through twenty five years. and General
Miles de served credit for his vigorous work Captain
Lawton had also distinguished himself as gallant
officer and his pursuit of the bostles under adverse
conditions and hardships thoroughly comendahle
The Acting Secretary was not prepared TO say what
disposition would be made of the captives but GER
tainly be said, nothing would be done In the matter
until the Presidents wishes were known Inc origlhai
dispatch had been promptly transmitted TO ths aaron
dacks for the information of the President and unti ne
had been heard from. the Indians would be held III
| confinement at Fort Bowie, Arizona
| Other officers of the Department were specially
cratifed at learning that Geronimos surrender was
unconditional The opinion prevails in some quarters
that the Inc ans will be transferred to the CUSTODY OF
the Interior Department for time and Geronimo and
his Heutenants will ultimately be surrendered to the
civil authorities of Arizona and put upon trial LOT
murder with result that would require little effort
TO guess An officer of high rank however, inciines TO
the belief that the President will never consent to
surrender Geronimo to the civil authorities but will
order hls trial by court-martia If it should he re-
qarded proper to try him at all. The same officer
said that the successful ending of the campaign
would be of nestimabe value to the Territory OF Arl-
IONA as the hosties had so ravuged and harried an
area Of rich country 200 miles square as to render
uninhabitable
