WASHINGTON. Ind, Oct. g. Everything
was quiet between the strikers and negro
miners tonight. Both sides held secret
meetings to-day and another attack on the
negroes was expected. The police will never
be able to handle a mob If an attack be
made. Several Of the negroes who were run
out of town have come back and have or
ganized for their protection. A man re-
turned from Cabel & Co.'S mine No. 9 at
II o'clock and found them expecting an at
tack from the strikers Several negro min
ers are fortified in shack and are prepared
for all emergencies. Guards are thrown out
for several hundred yards about the mines
and are heavily armed. They are under
charge of c. c. Rowland, a white bank boss
The city is resting under suppressed ex-
element Groups of men have been mys-
teriously congregating on the streets, but at
midnight there was no sign of trouble Ed
Myers, one of the negroes who was run
cut of town, came back tonight, and says
he was taken to Wheatland, seven miles
west, and there dropped by the strikers
Before they left him they beat him. His
head was cut in three places, and the
wounds may be serious. He says he knows
who struck him, but will not tell for fear
he will be murdered.
In the mob last night were three members
of Company d, e-hundred-and-fifty -ninth
Indiana Volunteers, all heavily masked
Ike Harris. one member of Company d,
who is alleged to have been in the strikers
mob, was arrested tonight on an affidavit
sworn out by Mrs. Lou Young, wife of one
of the negro miners, charging him with
drawing a pistol on her. 1t is believed
that other members OF the mob will be
caught
1t is understood that the men who drove
the negro miners from their homes last
Eight were mostly miners who had been dis
charged from these mines some time ago
and had since been employed at Pana, ILL.,,
and elsewhere. There is no confirmation
to-day of loss of life in last nights proceed
1ngs. The houses in which the negroes re-
sided are badly wrecked
Several of the imported laborers were to
be seen upon the streets to-day, and it is
thought the whites will make another raid
upon them, as they are determined to rid
the county of non-union miners. Public
sympathy is with the miners.

Whicker, of this city, introduced the speak

fiat nightmare of the Populists. He referred
to the various epochs in the country's his
tory and to the duty of every loyal Ameri-
can to stand by the administration and in
dorse it's policy of expansion and future
prosperity. His speech was a vote-getter
and at it's close cheer after cheer rang out

paign in Fountain county and it aroused
SO much enthusiasm that politics will go

here to-day at which were present r. A.

I. F. whiteside, congressional nominee in
this district; District Chairman Self. Hon.
w. w. Borden and other Republican work
ers. A number of speeches we're made and
the prospects for Republican success in
the coming election were discussed. Several
extremely warm speeches were made WITH
reference to the civil-service law in state and
national institutions and the alleged re-
form was condemned in the most scathing
terms. The action of Superintendent Hert,
of the Reformatory, in appointing j. ID.
Ferguson, of this city, as his private secre-
tary, was made the subject of much criti-
cism. Ferguson is personally we'll liked, but
being a free-silver Democrat, his appoint
ment has caused much indignation. Messrs.
Brown and Whiteside during the latter
part of last week, visited number of DEM
Ocratic counties.
