INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 24.-Things are
very quiet these past few days at po-
litical headquarters, both democratic
and republican, and in striking con-
trast with the hustle and excitement
of a month ago. Newspaper CORES
pondents, who almost hourly visit both
headquarters, are politely but alb
ruptly informed, nothing to-day"
and to the uninitiated it looks as
though the campaign was growing dull
and uninteresting: To anyone, how
ever, who has followed the campaign
in Indiana from its opening, it is ap-
parent that the third and last stage
has been reached, at least at head
quarters. The speech-making, or
gaseous" period, is being superseded
by the mathematical or business"
stage. The political issues of the cam
paign are no longer discussed about
headquarters. They have been beaten
threadbare by the two thousand ora
tors engaged nightly on each side
throughout the state, to say nothing
of the distinguished speakers from
the outside, like Thurman, Hill, Mills,
Blaine, Foraker and others, who have
addressed countless thousands in their
canvass. This new and silent state of
the campaign involves no decrease in
the work or energy displayed at
both headquarters. On the contrary,
both state committees are employing a
larger clerical force to-day than at any
time since the campaign opened. Tons
of public documents have been distri-
buted by each committee, yet ev-
cry train from Washington continues to
pour in bag after bag of congressional
literature, which is being disposed of as
fast as possible In addition TO the
large corps engaged in this work an
other and larger force of clerks are
compiling the reports from the county
committees and forwarding private cir
culars giving instructions regarding the
election. Never were two great polit-
zeal parties engaged in a more serious
and deadly warfare than the demo-
cratic aid republican parties of Indiana

the deadly drug this evening. Their

CHICAGO, Oct. 24.-General Will
liams, adjutant General of the .divi-
sion of Missouri was shown a dispatch
from Standing Rock agency regarding
the threatened conflict between the
Crows and the Sioux. He said, SIN
my Judgment the information
came not from the military authorities
at the agency but from the people
there who live among the Indians, and
whose interests are theirs. My view
is that they have heard the talk of
these Sioux and have became alarmed
with them over what they consider to
be impending danger, and the absence
of their chiefs no doubt hightens their
fears. The Crow Indians never
are naturally afraid of the Sioux. I
do not believe they have any hostile in
tentions now, but perhaps have started
on a horse stealing expedition. The
reason discredit the report is l have
received no intimatiOn of it from the
military authorities of st. Paul. They
would hear from TT. Custer which is
only twenty-five miles from Standing
Rock agency; Ct from Yankt0n and Il
would be telegraphed me Immediately
1t is clear to me that the military do moi
share the fear of leading Sioux thai
Crow warriors will descend upon them

Coronsr,, Investigation

MAUCH CHUNK, Pa, Oct. 22.-After
a three days session the coroners jury
which has been investigating the
recent accident on the Lehigh Valley
railroad at Mud Run by which so
many lives were lost reached the fol-
lowing verdict to-day;
I'VE find that the engineers of loco
motives ASP and 466 of the seventh sec
tion were guilty of gross negligence,
first in failing to discover the red sig
nal in time, the evidence clearly show
ing that this signal was in full view as
for not approaching the station under
full control as required by both the
general and special orders. The evil
dCnce also shows that the air brakes of
the entire seventh section were under
the control of the engineer of loco
motive 1855 and b.. that he could
have stopped the train in spite OF the
locomotive ahead of No. 452. We find
that the lookout men of locomotives 452
and 466 were guilty of gross negligence
in failing to report to their respective
engineers the red light at the station.
AS the train approached the men were
placed on their respective engines as an
additional caution and their especial
duty to look out for signals. The look
out man on 452 failed to see the signal
and the other one on 466 testified that
he saw it when about fifteen hundred
feet from the station, and yet he re-
ported all right to the engineer and
claims that he did not think the red
light meant anything, as nobody used
it. We find that the rear brakeman
of the sixth section was guilty of
gross negligence for when his train
stopped instead of going promptly back
the proper distance to warn the APP
preaching train he stopped at the
station. There vas time enough for
him to have gone back nearly q half
mile, but he went less than 400 feet.
We find that the conductors Of the
two sections failed in their duty. the
