CLOSING Cerem monIes.

CHICAGO, Oct 20. The last Of the
Columbian fete days in Chicago has
closed. The buildings in which the
worlds fair of 1898 is to be housed have
been dedicated TO the progress of art,
manufacture and science; and so, to the
progress and elevation of humanity.
The formal transfer of the praaa
structures in Washington park has been
consummated and Uncle Sam is the pos
SCISSOR of a new piece of property. Vice
President Morton, upon the platform in
the great hall where the dedication
ceremonies took place, acted in behalf
of the federal authorities in receiving
from the hands of the men who had
pushed their construction the PRACTICAL
ly completed piles in which the nations
of the earth shall contend for friendly
rivalry.
1t was just half past 10, when burst
of cheering that swelled into vast
volume Of sound announced the arrival
Of the vice-president. The hall at this
moment was a wonderful sight The
haekneyed expression "a sea of mp
turned faces" was in this case literal
ly correct, for forty-four acres were
covered with expectant countenances,
turned toward the northern entrance,
over which band was playing "IIail
Columbia" The music came but faint
", however, to those in the center of
the hall, being drowned by the cheering
and the booming Of guns from the
United States steamer Michigan, lying
off the exposition grounds and the vol
ley firing OF light battery stationed at
the north inlet.

A Fast Express Dashs. Into Coal Train -
The Wreck Takes Fire aud Many Are
Cremated-Ten Killed and Forty In
jnred.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct 25. THE fast ex-
press train from Shamolin on the Read
ing road, due here at $3.50 yesterday
morning, ran into coal train in the
West Manayunlx tunnel, 10 miles from
Che Reading station here, and a collision
resulted In which, according 70 the
latest estimates, at least ten persons
were killed. The cars caught fire in
the tunnel and several Of the bodies
were burned
The ShamolSin express usually leaves
the upper coal regions on Monday morn
ing loaded with men employed along
the line who take advantage of their
Sundays rest to go home Saturday
nights and spend the day with their
families.
The first rumor TO reach the city was
that eight persons had been killed and
a number injured. This was followed
later by the more alarming statement
thai not less than twenty-eight lives
had been lost, and later still, the figures
rose to the appalling total OF flfty-two
killed, but at noon 1t was declared that
ten were dead and forty injured
The ill-fated train was known as No.

bound track, which had been ordered

o'clock IL crushed into engine No. "a,
running north in the Manayunk tunnel.
The engineer of No. 54 had been or
dered to lie at Pensoyd station, a short
distance north of the scene Of the
accident and IL was due to his dis
obedience of these orders that the
accident occurred Had he remained
there few minutes longer the loss of a
dozen lives and the injuring of over
score OF persons would have been
averted.
A few minutes after the smashup the
wrecked passenger cars caught fire. An
alarm brought out engines, but it was
some time before the flames were ex-
tinguished undertalSers wagons from
Manayunk were soon at the accident I
and willing hands extricated from the
wreckage the manned and dead passen-
gers. Up TO noon fifteen injured peo-
pie had been removed TO St Mary's hos
pital at Roxborough, n short distance /
away, and ten dead bodies had been
taken charge of by the undertalSers.
The killed so far as known, are as
follows.
