indianapolis Expects tn Accom- nm odato a
Quarter of a Million People.
INDIANiPoLIs, Sep 4.-The city is COM
pletely given up to the Grand Army. The
estimated attendance Of hundred thou
sand veterans, besides their families and
friends, will be justified. Then,
too, enormous crowds are focking
into the city to witness the parades and
festivities, and altogether it is probable
that indianapolis will shelter quarter OF
a million strangers. Friday night and
Saturday night the first vast throng COM
menced to arrive, and to-day trains are
landing thousands at the Union Depot.
The influx will continue through the night
and all day tomorrow, and to-day the vast
majority of the visitors from distance will
be here, and only those from near poin Is
will come after that
The work of preparation for the G.. A.
r. encampment was taken in hand in a
thoroughly systematic way. 1t was in
trusted to representative citizens COM
mittee OF 5000 from all parts of the State,
including such well known men as Governor
Matthews, Ex-Governor Ira Chase and
General Lew Wallace. From this COM
mttee an Executive Committee was
chosen, of which Colonel Lily, president
of the Commercial Club of this city, is
chairman; ID. z. Erwin, vice chairman;
William Fortune, executive director; Allan
Hendericks, secretary, and Albert Gall,
the Treasurer of the state, treasurer. This
committee wrote to every State encamp-
ment, asking what attendance might bs
expected. The returns showed that while
not many would be present from New
England, the attendance from other parts
of the country would be much larger than
at Washington last year Some Western
States reported two or three times as many
as were present at Washington.
The committee provided accommodations
for about 125, 900 people, and prepared
large hotel and boarding house directory,
in which rooms, including board, are
found at reasonable rates. For the veter-
ans eighty halls and schoolhouses have
been engaged, and barracks have been
erected, in which are placed cots. They
will be entertained by the city. The guests
as they continue to arrive will be received
by the State militia, under Brigadief
General James H. Ross. Saturday even
ing there was natural gas and electrical
display in the grounds of the State House.

New Buildings and u Uniform style Of
Architecture.
New HAVEN, Sep. 4.-Yale has to have
new campus and uniform system of
architecture in the new buildings TO be
erected thereon. The corporation has at
last decided upon this policy, after having
borne for years without any attention tn Q
universal criticism OF the alumni and the
press.
In the past Yale appeared to care only
for buildings. Neither the design nor the
place Of erection appeared to be of any
consequence. The consequent conglomera-
tion Of many styles and designs has been
an artistic eyesore.
White Hal, donated by DR.. White of
New York, will be the beginning of the
new order OF things The foundations
are already laid on High street, from the
corner of Elm street half way to Wall
street Connected with this are the
foundations of Berkeley new dormitory
to be erected by the corporation, and to be
paid for out of the general funds. Berke-
ley, IA well as all future buildings, will be
on the same designs as White Hall.
