Concentrating the Centenary of
Washington's Inauguration,

a Bird's-Rye view Of Msnday'- Naval
Review, Of the Military Pageant Of
Tuesday, Rnd Of the Great Trades Dis
play Of Wednesday.
The celebration Of the one hundredth an
niversary Of George Washington's first in
auguration as President of the United
States took place on Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday under as favorable circum-
stances as could have been hoped. The
weather was good. the crowds were enor-
nous, and no serious accident married the
success Of the occasion The naval display
on Monday was one Of the handsomest
spectacles of the kind ever seen on this
side of the water from 1000 to 60, 600
troops marched in the grand military pro-
cesson on Tuesday, and the great civic
and trades display on Wednesday was no
less a success. The celebration as a whole
was the most magnificent demonstration
which this country has ever seen. 1t would
be safe to say, indeed, that Of its kind, and
with all the circumstances considered, it
was the most notable event which the world
has ever seen. Vermont performed her
part in it with credit to herself, and else

troops is told in detail

4 HORRIBLE ACCIDENT.
On the Grand Trunk RaiIroad at Ham,
iltOn, Ont.

On the Grand Trunk Railroad at HIM.
iltOh, Ont.
An EXPRESS TRAIN WRECKED, FIFTEEN TO
TWENTY PERSONS BURNED TO DEATH, AND
MANY OTHERS INJURED.
An accident which was one of most dread
full of its kind happened Sunday morning
to the limited express train east from Chica-
go on the Grand Trunk railway. The train
consisted of ten cars and was mostly loaded
with passengers from the west going tn the
centennial celebration at New York. When
running over "Y" at junction point one
mile west of Hamilton, Ont, at the ex-
treme western end of Lake Ontario, the
engine left the rails and was hurled into an
immense water tank, which it DESTROYED
landing bottom up. The tender leaped clear
over the engine, landing among the debris
of the tank. The leading baggage car was
shot past on the south side and alighted
wheelless, shattered box. The next bag
gage car mounted coal pile on the south
side. The smoking car was hurled against
che upturned engine and the day coach that
followed telescoped into it with hideous re.
suits The next three cars, cushioning on
the wreck ahead and checked by blowing
in the deep, sandy soil, came to a stand
uniniured, while the two sleepers, which
brought up the rear of the train, remained
on the track.
The wreck caught fire from the engine
and before it was possible to break in and
rescue the imprisoned passengers the intense
heat drove back the rescuers, and in a few
minutes the unfortunate people in the cars
we're burned before their eyes. Ii was a
frightful sight The screams of the burn
ing people could be heard above the roaring
flames and the escaping steam. Car after
car caught fire, and in an hour the whole
train with the exception of the two sleeping
cars, was burned
There was no water accessible, and the
flames held sway until about two O'Clock in
the afternoon, when they had been so far
extinguished as to permit search being made
for bodies. When the heap of black ashes
filed with cushion springs and irons was
turned over, body after body was found
blacktned and charred out of all semblance
of humanity. Probably the exact number
of the dead will never be known. but the
list numbers at least 10, nearly all men A
dozen persons who were seriously injured
were recovered before the flames drove the
rescuers away.
The engineer and fireman, strange 10 say,
crawled out from under their machine,
neither of them much hurt
The disaster is believed to have been
caused by broken axle on the engine.

The Magnificent DenonstrRtisn on the
Closing Day.

Wednesday the closing day Of the cele

ing Of the three IL is estimated that at
least 80 900 men appeared in the colossal
civic and trades demonstration which be
gan its line Of march on the arrival OF Gen
Harrison and his party at the reviewing

President, Mayor Grant appeared at the
head of 100 solid business men and pre-
sented Mr. Harrison with formal address
Of congratulation neatly enclosed in a sill
yer cylinder. Then the long column moved
on. First came a detachment Of veterans
Of the New York militia and Of the United
States army, and then by pleasing contrast
came a detachment of public school boys
and a battalion of Columbia college stu
dents marching like veterans. The tab
leaux, historical and allegorical, and the
trades representations, were almost endless
in their variety and ingenuity. New York
gentlemen costumed as heroes of the Revo.
luton were mounted on spirited horses
Immense moving tableaux represented i'm
migration and the progress of industry
The comica element was not wanting,
and the assembled thousands shouted at

their broad fiat caps and their red coats
and short baggy trousers There was the
Dutch ship of "Hollandach' times, and the
immigrant party Of our day starting for
the prairie the block house of 100 years
ago with the housewife seated within it at
her spinning wheel there were the Qua
kers suffering prosecution; the printers Of
an hundred years ago and the the printers
Of today at their presses in operation, and
every sort Of industry in actual progress,
the workmen and machinery drawn on
huge floats. Most striking of all was the
German display, depicting the achieve
ments of that nationality in every depart
meut of science, art and industry. This
was declared by all to be 'the crown and
glory of the parade
The procession occupied about five hours
in passing given point, and as it drew near
its end the great crowd slowly dispersed
President Harrison left the city at > o'clock
and reached Washington at l0:4j.

From the New York Suns account Of Tuesday =

friends at the Fifth Avenue hotel and they start
ed big cheer that ran ahead Of him up the ave.
nue. when he rode along in front Of the Vermont
brigade which Gen. VIM l.. Greenleaf command.
ed. The cheer was partly at the ingenious little
conctt Of the Green Mountain governor and his
stan OF wearing sprig Of green pine in their
hats. II was little humiliatng but il pleased
the crowd that was signing for variety. The Yer.
mont troops were the First Regiment, Col. Julius
J. Estey In gay gray uniform with white epau-
let's and lots Of gilt buttons; the First Battalion
IN rich suits, and the Fuller Light Battery, pre-.
ceded by a youthful bugler, who had clearly nry-
er ridden horse before and whose face express

Which means that the Suns young men
were instructed TO work in the regulation
number of 'grinds, and Vermont and
Rhode Island were chosen because both are
small states and stanchly Republican. 1t

ever, that the Vermont troops didn't need
