SHOT DOWN IN CHICAGO srREET.

SHOT DOWN IN CHICAGO sTREET.
Young Man Fatally wounds His Sisters
Unprincipled Husband.
CHICAGO. Sept. 22.-Tonight fatal street
ARRAY between brothers-in-law ended . re-
markable contest for tho possession OF .
fortune Of 100000. Alfred Richner several
years ago was the husband OF noted
brothel- keeper Notwithstanding this and
his unsavorv,s record. Richnsr suc-
ceeded in clandestinely working himself
into the good graces of daughter Of .
wealthy -four and feed dealer named Kess-
Ter. Upon Kessler's death the daughter,
who seems to be somewhat simple minded,
disclosed her attachment fOrs Kichner. In
slant opposition of the family to any rec
ognition of that worthy resulted in the
prompt elopement of the couple to Mon
treal.
Richner later went through the form OF
obtaining . divorce from the brOthel-
keeper, and having his marriage with Miss
Kessler legalized. They returned to Chi
cago. and feud was soon engendered be-
tween Richner and his new wife's brother.
The latter accused Richner of being actu-
ated solely with = desire to lay hands on
the fortune of his sister. Legal struggles
and personal encounters between Richner
and young Kessler have been frequent.
Recently, it is alleged. Richner, failing
in his efforts to get at the Kessler fortune,
threatened to kill every member of the
family. Tonight he met young Kessler
on State street and knocked him
down with his cane. Kessicr drew
q revolver and fired several shots
into Richner's body, inflicting fatal
injuries Kessler gave himself up, and said
he had been advised to arm himself by the
city chief of detectives and his attorney,
General John G. Black. The ARRAY took
place IN q crowded part of State street and
for q short time created wild stampede.

with the Juanita and Ocean Belle, but only
added l67 skins to his catch for the entire

discouraging. Things looked little better
in August, but seals we're scarce. On
Augusta, he spoke the whaling bark Alaska,

at once made for him. The whale was game

ity. He smashed two boats as though they
we're cockleshells, an accident which cost
two of the crew their lives. Another of
the crew had his legs broken in the same
encounter. The poor fellow was beyond
the reach of medical aid, and when the
Maggie spoke the bark he was lying in the
after-cabin Of the whaler. the captain doing
all that it was in his power to do for the

A SUMMER STORM IN ENGLAND.

The liehtnin @ tremole on the farthest sky:
A deeper eplendor takes. Down from on high
Is borne the invisible skylark's cry,
Which Iar above the gathering storm soon fills
Its LIQUID urn with music: running DER
Comes tripping down the blue in laughing
FilIs
And fancy fills her chalice where she Wills.
How quickly comes the thunder's awful roar;
Borne on the winds which bear the weighty
clouds
Portentous; and where Ill was bright before
And beautiful the spreading gloom en-
shrouds.
The Believing wind, the crash Of the trees IL
heard,
The swssh OF rain. but not the song Of bird.

Bismarck's Wife.

Frau Bismarck is famous housewife
Her dinners have always been the best,
her home has always been a model of
neatness and comfort, her children have
been most judiciously reared, and as a
hostess there is none in all the empire
that can be compared with her. Expert
with the needle, famous as cook, an
angel in the nursery and at the fireside,
skilled in all social graces and accom-
plshments, remarkable for her singular
piety, and addicted to benevolent prac-
tees and charitable deeds, this lady is
perhaps the most conspicuous example
of womanly virtue that Germany affords.
When Bismarck speaks of "woman's
sphere" he has his wifes example in
mind, and the sphere he refers to is as
great and as noble as the example is
llustrious and that wife lovable. II Chi
