1t Will Be a Chicago Fair.
Cleveland Plain Dealer.

! Cleveland Plain Dealer
The long and exciting contest
as 10 the location of the worlds s
fair Of 1899, is over and the prize
has gone. as it should. to the
west. Chicago is a hustler and
il hustled 10 some purpose. Its
people were united as they
generally are when it Is a case
of Chicago against all the rest Of
the world, although eager to tear
each other TO pieces on a purely
LEGAL matter. New York felt SO
sure of its success that it put
forth no special effort nntil
Chicago had made considerable
headway, and when it woke up
at last there was the usual result.
Personal politics and selfish
greed divided the forces of The
seaboard metropolis and de-
stroyed whatever chances New
York had. Piatt. the Republican
boss, wanted to turn the great
fair into a scheme for personal
advantage and party plunder
and was willing New York
should lose the lair altogether if
he could not manipulate it 10 his
ends.
A comparison of the eight
ballots shows that Chicago was
we'll IN the lead at iaie start and
gained steadily with every ballot.
New York was a fairly good
second and also gained with each
ballot up TO the sixth when the
highest point was touched with
1l6. On The next two ballots
there we're defections to Chicago
putting that city within one of a
majority on the seventh ballot
and giving it three more than
was necessary on the eighth and
last ballot. On the first ballot
Chicago was 43 ahead Of New
York aud finished IN the eighth
with the same number ahead of
its leading rival; at no time was
it less than so ahead. ST. Louis
and Washington were never
seriously in the race. although
at the finish the former retained
25 and the latter Is votes.
Of course Chicago is elated by
lis victory, but it may after all
be a barren one. The house
decided tha. if the fair is 10 be
held 1t shall be IN Chicago, but
1t has not decided that the fair
shall be held. lfihe vote on the
main question had been taken
at Saturday, as was originally
expected. no doubt it would have
been settled IN favor of the fair,
but now it is not SO certain.
Strong opposition to the holding
of the fair was developed during
the debates of last week. and
there is a growing feeling that
too much valuable lime has been
wasted in the fight oyer the loca-
ton. The rivals of Chicago in
the recent coAtest will not be SO
enthusiastic over the fair as they
have been, and it is not imrrob
able will give open or secret aid
10 the outspoken opposition.
The worlds fair bill has rough
water TO pass through.

LOOKING UP THE DAMAGE

The Pennsylvan:a Boys Did 20 Piemsns
The Stands, ETC.. in Thor Jamboree.
WASHINGTON, March There will be
many small claims made for damages done
by some OF the Pennsylvania troops during
the Inauguration season. Pismen, whoss
stands were raided, house owners whose
windows were broken. decorators whosp
materials were destroyed or scattered and
others who suffered BY the rough
play Of portion OF the Pennsyl-
vania troops are looking around to
find out who will pay the damage. Some
havc suggested that these persons be reim-
bursed out of the inaugural surplus. but 10
is not likely that such thing will be done.
Four years ago when similar damage was
done, the state of Pennsylvania sent OH
GERS here to determine and pay damages,
and it is probable the same course will be
puIsued this year.

BRUTAL SLAUGHTER
Wife, Two Children and Mother
in-Law Victims Of the Jeal-
GUS Rage Of a Fiend-
ish Husband.


MosslriREA1, sli Al Feb. 25tb. - The
mostiatrocicps quadruple mur-
der that has ever been recorded
in. Canada was sperpetrated Sun
day morning in the little village
of st. Alban. a'few miles from
Ste. Anne De La Parade, on the
Canadian Pacific Railway, about
half way between this city and
Quebec. A fair, young wife. her
two innocent babes and her aged
mother were the unfortunates
who fell victims to the jealous
rage of a fiendish husband. Par
ticulars Of this terrible crime
have just reached here, and show
it to be almost unparalleled III
atrocity, and even surprising
the horrors of Whitechapel MUIR
der in the mutilation of bodies.
The story of tho tragedy is brief
lv as follows:
On Sunday, while the villagers
were at mass, dubois, after bav-
ing quaFrelled with his wife,
wentfaos the rear of the house
and got a chopping axe, which
was we'll sharpened. He then
vent lnteshe house and assalled
his wife and mother in law,
whom he soon butchered. Next
he cody murdered his two boys
and threw the four bodies into
the cellar. whence they were
brought up by he Thibault blind
beggar, who appears to have
been present at the onslaught.
The murderer was iodnd Eve
miles norih of St. Alban and at
first showed fight. but he cooled
at the sight Of a heavy revolver,
and is now here under a strong
guard. He desires 10 be taken 10
Qnebec,sMhere be says hc can
obtain justice. He declares that
he did not know what he was
aboutanWiIeii he murdered his
victlms.' Several Pensioners Of
St. Albane are OF the opinion that
Dubois isi idiotlc.
Dubois was born in Canada,
but was brought up in the U. S,
where he learned 10 speak En-
glish very we'll. This fact got
HIM the nickname of" f"Irishman"
among his fellow Pensioners in
ST. Alban. He was a beggar by
profession, and for more success
in his business he associated
himself with his brother in law.

IS of colossal stature, and is ex-
ceeding ferocious. Two years ago
he left his wife and went wan

her in the greatest misery. He

and terribly ill-'realed her.

people did not dare TO interfere
lest they shonld be murdered.

At the special election held
Fast Friday. FOR the purpose OF
,gettin: an expression from our
citizens in regard 10 The pro-
priety of bonding the town for
the purpose of boring for natural
gas. A regular organization was
effected and election held accord
ing 10 law, with the following
result: Total number Of votes
east were 508; yeas 523, noes 179,
illegal s, fraudulent Ia, which
were all against natural gas.
Immediately after the counting
began the judges found that the
box had been stuffed, and taking
ahe punches Of tickets. which
had never been separated, placed
them. 10, one side and finished
counting the legal tickets. while
several parties were standing by
eursing and urging them 10
count those plies of fraudulent
ballots, but the peoples votes
were counted first. 1t is stated
in Rempel's organ, that the
fraudulent tickets were not dis
covered until 323 yeas and 2O6
noes were counted. This is un-
true. 1t was known soon after
the counting began. II is also
stated that 323 yeas we're counted
then 206 noes. then the 6 illegal
tickets. This is also untrue.
The tickets were counted pro-
Iniscuonsly, except the fraudu-
lent ones, which were not
counted until the legal tickets
were exhausted. This organ
states further that 1t would
appear more reasonable that il
was stuffed the other way, and
all the yeas were counted first
10 prevent disaster. Now this
statement Is as nnfair, nnreason-
able and as ridiculous as its

has been lfot'y contested on both
sides. Those favoring the propo-
siiion, as also the majority Of
those opposed 10 it, have been
sincere and honest In their work
and views. Bnt a few of the
