filled them with mingled wonder and alarm.
In making the 195 miles between here and
Chicago the train consumed five hours and
thirty minutes. 1t left Chicago at 1850 p.
m. topped twelve minutes at Kankakee,
nfteen minutes at Lafayette. a few minutes
at Lebanon and arrived here about l:2G
O'Clock. The last twenty-six miles of the
trip were made In twenty-six minutes The
seventeen and One-tenth miles between
North indianapolis and Whitestown were
made In sixteen minutes. Some of the men
thought the engineer was showing of
because he had a distinguished party be-
mind him and the women held on to their
chairs and made no comment. Every one
realized that the train was making ire
mendously fast time The private car was
so crowded that many Of the men were
compelled to stand. When running a mile
a minute the car seemed to roll like a yes
sci on a stormy sea and those who were
standing were tossed about most reckless
l. A great cloud of dust was stirred up by
the flying train and the car was filled with
dust. People looked out the windows and
caught fleeing glimpses Of fences and
farm houses and telegraph poles as the
train sped madly forward No one could
see the use of such fast running but after
the engineer reduced the speed on the out
skirts of the city everybody was glad they
had had a fast ride which at one time
reached the speed OF more than a mile a
minute.
As the train drew into the city there was
a scramble and hustle among the people In
the private car. The women hurried here
and there, making themselves as present.
able as possible and the men looked after
the luggage. Mr.. Bryan rushed through a
crowd into his state room with the remark:
Boys let me in. i want to change every
thing but my opinions" About the same
time Mrs. Bryan issued from her apart
ment with the facetious exclamation: II
suppose my umbrella is in the hands of
providence"

would see no one. The women reporters
who were anxious for an interview stood
around the door to her room and watched
an opportunity TO slide in with a bell boy
carrying ice water or baggage. The re-
porter was successful IN nearly every in
stance, but when on the inside she was
met with a sweet smile from Mrs. Bryan.
Mr.. Bryan stood holding the door open for
her to pass out, while Mrs. Bryan said: II
really have nothing to say to reporters. L
wish I could, but 1 don't want to show any
Partially" with which the reporter had to
be satisfied.
In regard to the plans of the reception
committee for the entertainment of Mrs.
Bryan and the other ladies of the party.
Mrs. Bryan said she was in the hands of
her friends and anything they decided upon
would be agreeable TO her. One of the
women on the committee asked her IL she
would prefer a private house or If the
hotel would be agreeable to her for the re-
ception. suggesting that perhaps the
private reception would be more prefer
able as she would then not have to mix
with the common class of people who might
attend a public reception. However, II was
decided by the reception committee 10 hold
a public reception this morning from 10 to
IL o'clock at the residence of Mrs. Frank
Maus-Fauvre, 2S West North street. In
the afternoon after the notification meet
ing, Mrs. Bryan and party will be taken for
a drive through the principal streets.

ing side by side. they shook hands with a
great number of people. All the visitors
were more or less enthusiastic, and most
of them vouchsafed immense majorities as
a result of the coming election. One gen.
tleman threw his arms around Mr.. Bryan's
neck and promised him a thousand votes
as the result of his own individual efforts.
Shortly before l o'clock a parade was
formed TO escort Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Stew

Chief Wappenhans, of the local Weather
Bureau, issued his statement last night TO
the effect that the weather to-day for the
notification ceremonies will be much cooler
than 1t has been for several days past. He
says the thermometer will reach 30 de-
grees during the day, which will be about
the time Mr.. Bryan and the other speakers
are hearing of the work of the Democrats
who met in Kansas City, July 4.
The heat record yesterday was about on
par with the record of other days last
week. The manner In which the mercury
started out yesterday, led many to believe
that 1t would sail upward and eclipse other
records so far this year. For the early
hours 1t made strides at the rate of four
degrees an hour, beginning with !6 degrees
at z o'clock. Following is the record for
yesterday: Z o'clock a. M, rs; s o'clock. so;

JUS. previous TO the arrival of Mr.. Bry-

Grand Hotel was packed TO suffocation.
In the crowd were Democrats of national

districts in the immediate vicinity of In

that Virginia would not send a single Re-
publican representative to the next Con-
gress.. THE Democrats of Virginia" said
Mr.. Otey, ''are in earnest this year, and
are going to make sure of an overwhelming
majority in our State" When asked with
regard to the vote of the Gold Democrats
in his State, Mr.. Otey declared that they
did not count for much this year. He said
that the Gold Democrats who stand ex-
clusively or the silver issue will vote for
Mr.. Mckinley. but at least so per cent. of
them he continued, "have forgotten all
about silver and gold and are lined up to
a man against imperialism

that Pennsylvania would cast a much

Bryan would not only retain the large sill

will notify Mr.. Bryan of his nomination to-

of detectives from other cities.
1t will be the aim of the police and detec-

poets and lock them up on charges of lott
ering until after the demonstration and the
departure of the crowds.
Yesterday afternoon five men who APP
p~arently had no business here other than
mingling in crowds were locked UP. They

Dispute at the Courthouse.

The decorations at the courthouse were
the causesof some arguments yesterday.
The entire lower floor, occupied by the city,
Is covered with portraits of Bryan. Steven
son and Kern. In all the windows above
the city's quarters appear the portraits of
Mckinley and Roosevelt. OF course the
portraits show for whom they are dis
played, but the arguments came up over a
dispute as to why the banners, flags and
the sign of Welcome" were out. Men in
the basement resent the statement of those
above that they have Bryan and Stevenson
underneath" A Red man claimed the
flags and bunting decorations were in
honor of the Red Mems powwow.
