SPRINGFIELD, o., May 1.-At noon to-
day an immense waterspout burst over
fremont City, village near here. At
about the same time Mad river broke over
its banks, and within eighteen minutes
water flooded the town, carrying away
outbuildings and stables and flooding the
first floors OF residences. Great damage
was done.
At midnight 100 acres in the northeast
ern part OF the city containing 200 houses
was flooded and the water rising one foot
per hour. Scores of families are in danger,
and the police and patrol force, together
with citizens, are rescuing the people.

TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES.
The Crowds Were Handled in an Admir-.
able Way.

CHICAGO, May 1.-The transportation
facilities today to and from the exposition
grounds were given their first trial and
proved entirely satisfactory. The bulk of
the down town traffic reached the grounds
over the Illinois Central road in trains of
eight cars each which ran at three minute
intervals. These facilities will be increased
when the occasion demands to twice their
present capacity. The Illinois Central
handles on an average seven Thousand
people per hour. The Cottage Grove ave-
nue. cable line disgorged their crowds at
the exposition gates at the rate OF five
thousand an hour without great crowd
ing.
The elevated system was not so fortu-

"A FEARFUL CRUSH.
A Serious Disaster During the Ceremonies
Narrowly Averted.

A Serious Disaster During the Ceremonies
Narrowly Averted.
CHICAGO, May 1.-During the dedica-
ton ceremonies there was fearful crush
in the crowd in front. Those in the rear
pressed on those in front, to get within
hearing distance; these, in turn, pressed
harder on those before them, and soon,
until near the front, the jam was terrific.
The Columbian guards were utterly IN
able to cope with the surging mass, and
those in front pushed into the reporter
quarters.
Finally came cries of rage and pain;
and the head and shoulders of a
woman in a swoon, with ashen lips and
disheveled clothing was upborne above
the heads of the throng; then the fainting
form of boy was held aloft in the sin
envy black arms of a stalwart negro; it
was becoming serious matter, and the
blind persistence of the eager throng
threatened death and panic. The atteD-
ton OF the people on the stand was at
tracted to it, and President Cleveland
watched it narrowly.
Finally mounted cavalryman made q
difficult passage through the throng for
egress with fainting ones, and battalion
CT United States regulars widened the
space, pushing the crowd back with the
butts OF their muskets, Meantime pro-
ceedings ended and a serious disaster was
ayerted.

eign governments who are present on this oc-
casion We bow in grateful thanks. More than
$1,000 900 has been of1iolally appropriated for
these commissions in furtherance of their par
ticipation in the exposition. The great nations
of Europe and their dependencies are all repre-
scented upon these grounds, the governments of
Asa and Africa and the republics of the West
ern Hemisphere with but few exceptions, are
here represented.
To the citizens and corporation OF The city of
Chicago, Who furnished S1l 600 as a con-
tribution and in addition loaned the mauag-
ment 81, 200, 900 more. are due the grateful &C
acknowledgement of our own people and the hon
ored guests who share with US the advantage OF
this great international festival. To the tens
of thousands of exhibitors who contributed a
larger amount than all others combined we are
under the deepest obligations for their interest
and cooperation in our work. To the
women of Chicago and great land
whose prompt, spontaneous and enthusiast tic
cooperation in our work turned the eyes Of the
world toward the exposition as toward the Il w
star of the east the inspiration for woman
hood everywhere, we extend our cordial aud
unstinted recognition. 1t is our hope that this
great exhibition may fnaugurate a new era of
moral and material progress, and our fervent
aspiration that the association of nations here
may secure not only larger and stronger
friendships, but lasting peace throughout the
world.
The grand concerted illustration of modern
progress which is here presented for the en-
cOuragement of art, science, industry and COM
MERGE, has necessltated the expenditure, in
GLIDING the outlay OF our exhibitors, largely in
excess of S100 600 ,000 We have given it our
constant thought, our most devoted service,
our best energy; and now in this central city OF
this great republic on the continent
discovered by Columbus, whose dis
tinguished Descendants are present, honored
guest of our nation, it only remains for you, Mr..
President If in your opinion the exposition
here presented is commensurate in dignity with
what the world should expect Of our great
country. to direct that 1t be opened to the pub
lie, and when you touch this magic key the
ponderous machinery will start in its revolu-
ton and the activeness of the exposition will
begin.
The director general then presented
President Cleveland, who was kept wait
ing several minutes, unUil the applause
should subside, when with barred head he
spoke as follows:

Gloomy ontlno. at Alton.

ALTON, His, May LIN the past forty
eight hours the river has risen nearly
three feet and is still booming. South
and east of here farms are nothing but
watery wastes. Several bridges are down
at Woodriver and work of rescuing has
commenced. The Wabash branch road
was abandoned and this afternoon the
big pump at the water works had to be
abandoned, and altogether the outlook is
gloomy.

street, and from the park into the mid
way pla1sance, now medley OF all ma

city, and to the administration building,
where the ceremonies of the day were to
take place. Passing through the build
ing the notables came out upon the plat
form on the east side, looking out upon
the grand plaza and the court OF honor.
The plaza was black with people, the
whole scene forming one of the most re-
markable and enchanting in history.
Already officials and invited guests not
in the procession were seated on the plat
form, and as the head of the nation walked
down the main aisle to his place at its
outer edge, tumult of cheers shook the
air. He and those accompanying him
were soon seated, and shortly after 10
O'Clock the opening ceremonies began
with Professor John K. Haines' Column

about four thousand an hour but could
have doubled that number under more
suspicious circumstances. The boats
ran at thirty minute intervals, but the
day was too cold and the lake too rough
for the water route to be popular. TAX
ing the day, which was considerably
heavier than an average will be, as
criterion, it is safe to say that transporta-

the demands made upon it.

GERMANY,s ACTION.
Her Participation in the Ceremonies an
Elaborate Affair.

CHICAGO. May 1.-The participation of
the German Empire in the inauguration
of the big fair was an elaborate affair. At
the moment that President Cleveland
touched the button that set the machin-
cry in motion, the chimes in the chapel of
Germany's building were brought into
action, their beautiful and melodeous
tones filing the air with glory hallelujah
in honor of the event. When the official
ceremony was over Commissioner Wer-
