A deafening crish qnicklv told of the
means of robbery employed. Several sticks
of dynamite were exploded under the express
car, tearing one end out. The express n es

A 86 CENT FAIR.
Sunday Opsnsra at Chicago Threaten to
Hall on New Taok.
Sunday opening of tbe Worlds Fair hat
not been a success. Many icaioni ar as
signed threfor. One is the half-hearted way
it has been run on that day. Some of tbe ex
hibits remain open, others are closed.
There is a general air about the whole place
in fuel, Including usually gay Plaisunce,
that is not hospitable. So people keep away
Sunday.
Mr, Clingmsn, the promoter of the in
junction against Sunday closing, has a new
move ou. He wants the Sunday tale re
duced Iu US cents lor adults, and children to
be admitted free. Mr. Clinginati thinks hi
sues a legal way of compelling the Fair
management to adopt this course. Should
tne. decline to do so the protectors of the
movement threaten that they will tuki
action ihut will compel them to open Hit
Fair Iree on Sunday.
