A week ago yesterday Mrs Sarah F.

brated her 102d birthday, and big number
of friends and relatives gathered at her

all through her long life she has not lived at
a greater distance than three miles from her

Session.
CHICAGO, Sept 15.-The national worlds
fair commission began a session to-day,
which is expected to dispose Of much bust
ness of vital importance in the success Of
the big exposition. Up to this evening the
time was occupied chiefly In settling the
duties and powers of the various officers
and committees. Tomorrow the election
of director general is likely 70 be taken
up.
Tonight the city council passed almost
unanimously the amended ordinance de-
sired by the worlds fair directors, allowing
the use Of as much or little Of the lake front
as may be required for the purposes of the
fair. The original ordinance provided that
at least $50 acres of the lake front must be
used or none at all 1t was feared that OPP
position to the change would be manifested,
and the directors are correspondingly
eiated at their easy victory.
The federal board Of military engineers
appointed to hear protests against the use
OF the harbor as possible portion of the
exposition site convened to-day. A protest
was fled on behalf of a committee repre-
senting persons holding property abutting
on the lake 'front.'
The worlds fair directors will be given a
hearing tomorrow.

SUICIDE IN THE KIMBALL.
HARD LUCK AND DRINK WOUND
UP WITH A PISTOL BALL.

The Self-Slain Unfortunate Formerly a
Himself Out for the Visitation OF
Death, Tries His Revolver and Then
Kills Himself
ATLANTA, Ga, Sept. &c. G. Kenney
committed suicide at 2 O'Clock to-day in
the Kimball house by shooting himself in
the temple. Whisky and the scarcity of
money caused the deed. Kenney was a
farmer living near Greenville, Ga, for a
number of years. He has, however been
out of work for some time and has been
drinking heavily. He met John Banning
of Greenville near the Kimball house and
asked for the loan Of some money. Mr.
Banning, thinking he wanted to buy a
drink, refused to let him have it. Kenny
shortly aftarwood registered at the Kim
ball and was assigned to a room on the
second floor.
TWO PISTOL SHOTS.
About o'clock two pistol shots sounded
out in the room, and when the door was
opened Kenney was found dead on the bed,
weltering in his blood. The pistol was still
elapsed in his stlffening fingers. He had
prepared for the deed with great delibera-
ton. He took a drink. placed the
bottle on the bureau, removed a
cartridge from his pistol, sharpened
the lead and wrote on one of his cuffs IN a
scrawling hand, &C. G. Kenney, Concord,
Ga" He then removed all of his clothing
except his undershlrt and drawers, tried his
pistol to see if it was all right by firing
ball into the ceiling, and then stretched
himself on the bed and fired the fatal shot
that ended bis life. His wife IN Concord has

QUITMAN's COMPRESS.
The Town Feels Aggrieved Over Free
COMPRISING at Savannah.

The Town Feels Aggrieved Over Free
Comprising at Savannah.
QUITMAN, GA, Sept 15.-Quitman is in
dignant with the Savannah, Florida and
Western road over what she considers an
attempt on the part of the road to crush out
her cotton compress. The press had barely
started work when the road issued circular
stating that cotton from all points along its
line would be compressed in Savannah free
of cost. This action on the part
of the road, of course, gives all
other towns on its line an equal
advantage with Quitmau without these
towns having the expense OF erecting and
operating a compress. Quitman feels that
as she had the enterprise and public spirit
to put her money into a compress
it is, to say the least, very
queer treatment on the part
of the road to thus cripple one of her most
promising enterprises Notwithstanding
all this, the compress is running on full
time and has all the work it can do. About
ZOO bales from western points came in this
morning, and the receipts of local cot
ton continue heavy.
