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. TDE BICICLE RACES At the track a l.,rge pari of the day was given op to tbs wfcee'men.

Tin* Mist Olstlngn ahsd Vl.tturtobs Ssvu 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. bodies removed. This afternoon, wfieu the reporters, who had been lonj delayed in reochlug Kous't, owiog to the seoretiveness ot the railroad otlloiuls, began at lust to arrive. There was little in the u«p ct ot the village to indiaete the calamity that had *0 recently taken place.
