Tho second day of the exposition is over,
and it has bean, iu a sccae, a greater sno
cess than the first. There was, of course,
an absence if the pomp and exoitement
which attended the opening ceremonies,
and the orowd on the grounds was oonsid-
eratly smaller, but the ixposi ion itself was
in much better shape. The exhibits in all
the departments show up better. The ao
tivity of exhibitors in the last tweuty-four
hours has been maivelous, and it is possi
ble that another day, two certainly, will
see the exposition iu all its parts praotically
complete.
THE MAIN BUILDING.
Tno miin building, which covers an im
mense space, has been made very attractive
by the vuricty aud ixcelietce cf the exhib
its. From the main entrance thronghont
the visitor will find something to interest.
The floor above is devoted to the art ex
hibit, and the display of paintings and
photography is exceptionally good. These
attracted a pretty stealy stream of visitors
all day.
The feature of the exhibition, whieh
seems to be given greater pruuiioenoe than
all others, is the agricultural and medban-
icul department, and next to this the one
which attracts most attention iatbe mineral
txbibit which, when computed, promises to
be one if the finest ot tbat character ever
seen m this section. A special article will
bo devoted to these later io the week.

North Judson, Ind., October 11.—An
other Chatsworth railroad horror occurred
on the Chloago,and Atlantie railroad this
mornieg, sixty miles east of Chicago, near
Kout's Station Seventeen passengers
were killed and burned np in the wreck, and
from twenty-five to thirty were moro or lees
iejured.
A heavy fresh meat train telescoped the
evening accommodation train wbioh leaves
Chicago et 7:45. The accommodation, with
one baggage car, two ooaches and one sleep
er had stopped at a water tank for water
about a mile west of Kont's. The freight
train was following and
CRASHED INTO THE SLEEPER,
telescoping and burning np the entire pas
senger train as above stated.
Wm. Perry, auditor of Starke county,
Ohio, and bis wife and ohild, were victims
of the terrible fire, whioh broke out almoat
immediately after the freight train crashed
in among the passengers. The Perrys
lived here. Not a particle of their bodies
was resoned from the flames.
KILLED AND INJURED.
A dozen blood-stained, amoke-begrimed,
irjured victims of railroad carelessness or
blundering were bronght into the little
depot at Kont'a Station early this morning,
and this afternoon the charred corpses of
victims of the same blundering or careless
ness were laid upon the station platform,
while three miles west, down the track of
the Chicago and Atlantic railway, near a
lonely old water tank, piles ol fearfully
tangled debris marked the spot where the
collision, seldom equalled for terrible re
sults, had occurred.
THIRTY LIVZS LOBT.
According to the best estimate obtaina
ble, for only an estimate was possible, fully
thirty human lives had been sacrificed out
right and half that number of persons had
Buffeted injuries more or less serious.
As nearly as can bo gathered from the
confused stories told, the concrete foots are
that the passenger train was the cast-bound
expresa which lift Chicago at 7:15 last
Light. The eeoentiio strap had bun broken.
and the driving wheel) on one side beoame
useless. The engineer had stepped at the!
water tank to repair, thinking he coaid do
so in a tsw minutes. 11a had not stopped
moro than one minute when the fast freight
train, loaded with dressed meat, crashed
into the rear of the train.
THE lIIBACltnOUS ESCAPE.
The last oat of the train was a heavy
Pullman Bleeper. This, when strnok by
the frieght engine, crushed the throe
coichts iu front and appears to have killed
or wounded everybody in them. Boven
persons wore in the sleeper and these
all esoaped harm, except the shook. Ac
counts vary as to how the wreok
caught fire. Some attribute it to coal in
the freight engine, but one passenger, who
was rescued from the omshed coaches, say
that while fastened between two oar seat
be saw the gas with which the car was light-
id suddenly fill the upper part of the ear
with flune, the gas pipes having apparently
been broken, and the escaping gtu caught
from the lighted bnrnere.
NIOLtOINC* OF TRAINMEN,
No evideooe appears in any of the stories
that a flagman was seat to the rear whrn
the traiu stopped, or that any precaution
was taken to guard against such an sod
den', noepiing that the night telegraph
operator at Kont'a says the rear brakeman
ou the paiseug. r train hung oat a red lan-
letn when the tiato stopped. The men on
the passenger tram were fully sw»ee that
the freight train was following them.
