Fire and several People Injured.
Chicago, Oct. 11.--At 1880 o'clock
last night President Mckinley and the
members of his cabinet left Chicago
for Evansville, Ind. His departure,
with the cheers of an immense throng
ringing in his ears, brought to close
a day of genuinely hard work. in which
the president had scarcely a moment
of leisure for himself The crowds
which greeted him at every turn were
so good natured and so disposed to
cheer that the president, although
Nearied when he reached his train, ex-
pressed himself as having thoroughly
enjoyed himself
The final numbers last night on the
presidents extraordinarily lengthy list
of engagements were a magnificent
banquet by the Commercial club and
his visit to a meeting of the Chi
cago Bricklayers' and stone Masons'
union, of which he wayk fortnight ago
elected an honorary member.
An exciting incident varied, and for
almost a ynoment threatened to upset
the presidents ceaseless round of ac-
tivities. While in his carriage on Con-
eress street en- route to Memorial Hall
to greet the members of the Society of
the Army of the Tennessee, one of the
horses attached to the presidents car
riage became fractions ana evinced a
desire to run. The driver had all he
could do to restrain the animal, and
after he had been tugging at the lines
for several blocks the horse finally
broke away and started on a run.
Captain Matt Pinkerton, of the Chi
cago Hussars, a detachment of which
had Joined the procession, galloped
beside the unmanageable steed and
grasped its bride, bringing the animal
to a slow trot The captain main
tanned his hold the balance of the trip.
The last parade of the fall festival,
the industrial parade, was held last
night. The people had evidently been
surfeited with paraoes, for only a very
small crowd turned out to witness it,
although a drizzling rain doubtless
prevented many from coming down
town. The parade was confined to
floats sent out by business houses and
was short, being not over half an hour
in passing a given point.
A display of fire not on the parade
program took place when the indus
trial procession was passing along
State street. A float representing a
man reclining on a mountain of col
lars and cuffs 'caught fire, and the
frightened horses tried to rush upon
| the sidewalk, which was lined with
spectators At this moment another
feat collided with the one on fire, and
in a twinkling both were blazing
! fiercely. By this time the people on
the street were in a panic. The po-
lice were busy with the burning floats
and could not stop the crushing and
roughness in the crowd Children
were stepped on and women reeled
back into the crowd exhausted. To add
to the excitement a bunch of fireworks
on one of the floats exploded. Through
| the smoke the police saw two women
and three men on one float imprisoned
in the burning rack. They fought to
get to the side of the wagon, but wern
unsuccessful for a time. When the
| fire was put out it was found that
Harry Lowell, who had impersonated
an Indian on one of the floats, was Sc
~
pumber of others were slightly in
| jured.
Sir Wilfrid Laurier and his col
leagues, with the exception of Senator
Dobell, Mayor Prefontaine and Mayor
Payment, left the Dearborn station
| last night for Canada. The depot was
crowded with cheering people as the
train pulled out.
No such thing as summer complaint where
