Prial to the Indianapolis Journal. LAFAYETTE. Ind., Oct. 31. With lightning rapidity the news of the catastrophe at Indianapolis spread about the city until thousands were drawn from their home3 to the courthouse square, where the wildest rumors were circulated. Never since the disaster at the Big Four Railway station hero in 1S03 has Lafayette been worked up to such a high pitch of excitement. Gradually the reports became moro definite and the actual facts began to be known. 1 Men and women gathered by hundreds about the newspaper offices and fought to get near the bulletins. Many were in tears as the terrible fact became known. Scarcely any students had been left In town, but West Side residents and friends of the members of the football eleven swelled the crowds to-huge proportions. Business was practically suspended at noon when the names of the dead began to be received. It was impossible to get an accurate list "of the victims, and for this reason parents of Lafayette students who were known to be on the train becamo frantic. The telephone offices were crowded and at the Western Union telegraph office 250 messages were received In two hours. Anxious relatives and friends of students and townspeople on the train rushed about to get Information. The Big Four Railway offices were besieged by hundreds of men. women and children, but nothing was given out there, so the crowds returned" to the newspaper offices and waited for fresh bulletins to appear. Occasionally a shriek would bo heard as some person In the throng saw the name of a relative or close friend added to the list of casualties. Several women were prostrated and were carried home. Mrs. Harry Leslie, mother, of Harry G. Leslie, learned at noon that her son had been badly hurt Then the news came that he was dead only to be followed by another report that he was still alive. She was so shocked by tho news that neighbors had to carry her to the bedroom where she raved and cried la agony. She is a widow and Harry j her mainstay. Mrs. Leslie has conducted the training table end therefore la personally acquainted with every member pf the football squad. Her grief was pitiful in the extreme. Mrs. Shaw, mother of G. I Shaw, one of the students reported killed, called up a newspaper office this afternoon, to get the latest reports. She did not even know her son was injured but as she stood at the telephone the person at the other end of the line heard her exclaim: "Oh, my God: lies dead!" Somebody evidently had told her before she could get an naswer to her query from tho newspaper office. Mrs. N. R. Howard, wife of the Lafayette lauudrymau who was killed, was visitlag "relatives In Attica when the sad news came. She was eo shocked that ft is feared she will lose her mind. Mr. Howard was an ardent supporter of the Purdue football team. It was he who headed the subscription list when money was raised for the team and he made a canvass of the business men to help swell the fund. He wa3 president of the American Laundry Company, president of the Indiana Laundrymen's Association and a prominent figure In tho national conventions of laundrymen. He was forty-five years old and leaves a widow and two daughters, Mrs. Charles Cooper, of this city, and Mrs. Charles R. McDowell, of Indianapolis. Mrs. A. D. Smith, mother of "Lon" Smith, the freshman center who accompanied tho team and who was badly hurt, became hysterical when told that her son was injured. Rev. Charles S. Lewis, Episcopal clergyman, was sent to. the house to comfort her. This evening she is in a serious condition from the shock. A report was circulated that Coach Oliver F. Cntts had been killed, but this proved to be false. A number of Lafayette people who were In the wreck returned home at 1:37 p. m. Most of them were suffering from nervous shocks and were unable to give a clear version of the disaster. They hurried to their homes to assure wives or mothers of their escape from death. Three thousand people assembled at Union Station to meet the 6:3) train from Indianapolis and there were many affectionate greetings as the returning students stepped from the train. The streets were crowded to-night and but one subject was discussed the calamity that has cast a gloom over Purdue. Frofessor Alford said to-night that the university would close all of next week and that a memorial service would be held within a few days. Crepe is belns worn on tho toasts of students to-night. Many who were on the Ill-fated train and escaped have suffered so from the shock that they are under a doctor's care. Telegrams expressing condolence have been received for Coach Cutt3 from Captain Salman, Notre Dame, Captain Ellsworth, of Chicago, and many others. e ' I)L0031IGTO SHOCKED. Xerrs of the Disaster Caused n Thrill of Horror Throughout City. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Oct. a.-Unlver-slty and city circles were horrified by the news from Indianapolis that the football excursion from Purdue had been overtaken by a calamitous accident. In less than half an hour It seemed that the entire community knew of the disaster and inquiries were constant at the dally papers and telegraph oßlee for additional information. At first a rumor spread that it was the BloomIngton excursion that had met disaster. Extras were at once issued, but it was difficult to obtain reliable news. The fact that over 1.000 happy students had left here only a few hours before made it possible to realize the horrible fate of the opposing team and its rooters, and In addition the contests from year to j-ear have formed a close friendship whether In victories or defeat. The university and city U In mourning aud crowds on the streets, all afternoon and ulht, were discussing the horror aud seeking every detail. Most of the dead and Injured are pertonally known here. Only h week ago Robertson refcrreed the Earlham game 011 Indiana grouuds and was eo popular that he had promised to return and referc the Illinois-Indiana game next Saturday. The ft 1iiig U that tho frightful fate of inirduc will virtually end the football aeasou for thu iax ai the IudUuu team cunuot have tho

heart to go into a contest with the vigor necessary for a good game. Indiana had practiced hard for two weeks and while it was not confident of victory yet it hoped to keep the score down very low. Assistant Coach Pike and several students and business men who went especially to witness the grime were so shocked that they could not hear to be In the city, and returned on the fast train this evening. Though no definite arrangements have yet been made, it is the sentiment that a day cf memorial be set aside by Indiana University for public exercises as a tribute to the dead of it3 old adversaries on the gridiron. . COSDOLEXCE FROM AOTnE DAME.

Sorrow That 'Makes) the World Altln I Eloquently Yolced. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. XOTRE DAME. Ind., Oct. 21. The announcement this morning of the terrible accident that befell the special train to Indianapolis bearing the Furdue football team, band and rooters for a game with Indiana has caused great sorrow In Notre Dame. For many years there has been a friendly rivalry between Purdue and Notre Dame and there was a strong friendship among the players of the two football teams. In his sermon this evening the Rev. Peter O CalJahan, C. S. P., who is conducting the students retreat, took occasion to mention the accident as illustrating the awful uncertainty of life, and prayers were offered at the conclusion of the services for the soulä of the departed. The following condolences were sent to Lafayette: "President Stone, Purdue University: "The president, faculty and students of Notre Dame University have heard with profound sorrow of the terrible catastrophe that befell your students en route to Indianapolis. Ee It assured that we, who have always rejoiced in your successes, deeply sympathize with you in this sad hour. Kindly extend our sincere sympathy to the afflicted parents of the dead and injured. . ANDREW MORRISSEY, resident." "Coach Cutts.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ANDERSON, Ind., Oct. 3I.-A most pathetic scene was witnessed at the Big Four station in this city this afternoon. The parents of Walter R. Roush, of Pittsburg, who was killed in the wreck at Indianapolis, have been visiting in this county and were on their way from Gas City to Lafayette, where they intended to visit their son. Mrs. Roush heard the newsboys crying the wreck and bought a paper. Her first glance was to note that her own son was among the killed. Tho shock was too much nnd she swooned. Mr. Roush grasped his wife nnd then seized the paper to see what was the matter, when he too fainted. Both rallied sutficiently to say they were the parents of the young man. They proceeded to Indianapolis, accompanied by a physician. Excitement, then Relief. Special to th6 Indianapolis Journal. WABASH, Ind , Oct. 31.

BILBAO STRIKE ENDED. 31iners Hereafter Will Be Paid Weekly Instead of Monthly. BILBAO, Spain, Oct. 31. Lieutenant General Zapplno, commander-in-chief of the Basque Provinces, announces the settlement of the strike as the result of a conference between the mine operators and representatives of the miners. The general demands of the men are granted and it is stated Uat they will return to work on Monday. This result has averted what would probably have been another coutlict between the miners and troops, for -S.CoO of the former were participating in the strike and they were assisted by employes in other trades inside the city. Moreover, an ugly feeilng was existing among the miners outside the citjv who were short of bread, and were disposed to take extreme measures. The miners, by the terms of settlement, will receive tluir pay weekly Instead of nt the end of each month, which latter system of payment is alleged to have been the caure of th strike, although the men further allege that they were compelled to hire houses and purchase supplies from the company employing them. The conflict between the troops nnd strikers last Wednesday was costly. Four persons were killed and tweuty-vne wounded.
