NO PLACE FOR 1T
The Directors of the Worlds Fair Can't
Find a Site

CHICAGO, Aug. ls-The directors of the
worlds fair are all at sea today. They
are at sea in a raging storm OF difficulties
and do not know which way to steer for
land. Never since the inception of the
enterprise has IL received such blow as
II suffered last night from the reports of
Landscape Engineers Olmsted Il Co. and
the committee on grounds and buildings.
The one declared that only about ll2
acres of Jackson Park are available for
site purposes, and the other that the
Illinois Central refuses to enter into any
negotiations for reimburs'ng the directors
for filling in the lake front in case the
railroad should eventually become the
owner of the land. The refusal on the
part of the road to treat practically
knocks out the lake front as site for any
considerable portion of the fair, and Mr.
Olmstead's report leaves jackson Park
very much torn up.
With both sites more or less paralyzed,
what are the directors going to do? They
couldn't themselves tell this morning.
But the last view of the situation IS that
they will take the liz acres at jackson
Park for "A nucleus and around that Sc
cure enough land for the fair. Parts of
Washington park, the Midway pliasance
and grounds of the Washington Park
club will be asked for. If this fails there
are still other sites. The one on the
south shore, for instance, and for which
teelers are even now being extended.
There remains but lingering hope for
the lake front. some of its best friends
have given it up. and the city council
will probably be asked to modify the or

The midnight burglar seems TO be at
his tricks again. Saturday evening an
unsuccessful attempt was made TO effect
an entrance into the Chicago Shoe Co.'S
store. A pane of glass was broken IN the
rear door and an attempt made 10 force
the lock. The noise made by the break
ing Of the glass evidently frightened the
thief and he skipped out without securing
any booty.
Among the recent arrivals in the city
was party of twelve persons, all from
Elizabeth. y. j. The parties consisted Of
the families Of j. X. Roll, W. 7. Mohr
and Mr.. Dunn. They came through
from Chicago via the Great Northern aud
Canadian Pacific. When the party left
Chicago the thermometer was up among
the hundreds and they suffered terribly
from the heat. The transformation 10
the cool. bracing. balmy air Of Belling-

making them declare that Fairhaven Is
the only place In which TO reside and be

was that the track OF the Fairhayen 4

was absolutely necessary that the work
of tracklaying should proceed without in

annoyed by her dead sisters widower's
attentions to her. He made love 10 her
and She snubbed him. He begged her to
marry him and she rejected him. He
pleaded with her to reconsider what he
said was rash determination
and she refused him admit
tance to her residence. But
he was madly in love with his sister
in-law and often called and stood in front
of Miss COrdezs residence and fingered
there if only TO get glance at her. When
the sistsr-in-law Indignantly ordered him
to move on he answered her with loving
words. When she failed to order him
away he wrote love messages 70 her on

eyes as the door swung open. Miss Cor

when the infatuated brother-in- law again

the pavement, where il would dazzle in

out with "A horsewhip.
Take that, and that. and that" shout

him his mad love for his wife's sister went
out and he attacked her furiously. He
has been held to the grand jury.

A SAD STORY OF WANT
Two Little Boys Walk Two
Hundred Miles Seeking
Work and Food
Their Tales of Terrible Suffer-
ing and Starvation in
Kansas
A Widowed Mother With Six
Children Forced to Let
Two Leave Her

ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, Aug. 1s-Albert and
Edgar Parry respectively 16 and IA years
of age. and from Beloit, Kansas, were APP
plicants at police head quarters last night
for something to,eat and place to rest.
The boys were worn out. they had walked
the greater ported of the distance be-
tween st. Joseph and Beloit, Kansas,
about 200 miles, had nothing to eat for
fortv-eight hours and told an honest and
pathetic story about their troubles. They
had left their mother with four younger
children at Beloit, on the mothers ad-
vice that they had better leave home and
look for work 1t was a ease of almost
absolute necessity that they do something
10 keep from starving. The mother is a
widow and had more than she could do to
support herself and four yt unger children.
The police heard their story and then
took them out. gave them plenty to eat
and then provided them with a place
where they could rest over night.
To reporter last night at police head
quarter the boys told a pitiful tale of the
,uilerings of the people in the section of
Kansas from whence they came. Crops,
they say, are all burned up by the hot
winds and as a result hundreds of farm
ers will have nothing 10 live on during
The coming winter. Already there is an
emigration from the country and il is
bound to continue. Many farmers have
placed chattle mortgages on all their per-
sonal property and some Of them. regard
less of this fact, are taking their personal
property out OF the country with them
without first paying off the mortgage.
Many of them have paid interest amount
ng to much more than the principal Ia
the money sharks infesting the country
and they believe il no crime TO leave in the
night without first paying off their mort
cages. The boys are intelligent and good
looking.

A BRUTAL ASSAULT
A Passenger on a Chicago Street Car
Badly Beaten by Employees

CHICAGO. August ls-Two North Side
conductors and gripman to-day at noon
attacked a passenger named Louis Zim-
norman AT LaSallc and Washington
streets and. with the help Of switch bars,
beat him about the head and face until
his best friend would not have known
him. One of the conductors. George
Houmiel, who rides a Fullerton avenue
trailer. was arrested and locked up at the
HarriSOn-street station. With usual pO-
lice discretion Officer j. L. Dougherty,
who saw the tail end of the affair, ar
rested Zimmerman also and had him
locked up.
From the story of fellow passenger it
seems to have been brutal and unpro-
voked assault. This gentleman vOlun-
teered at once to go on Zimmerman 5
bond and was accepted. He states that
Hommiel and Zimmerman had some
words over the payment of fare, during
which the conductor became very abusive
and wound up by striking Zimmerman
over the eye with a switch bar. thinner
man then struck back with his fist and
before he could recover himself another
conductor came running with a second
iron switch bar and landed stunning
blow on the back of Zimmerman's head.
Zimmerman ran, the train meantime hav-
ing stopped and the gripman Joined In the
chase. Officer Dougherty accompanied
the arrested men to the Central station.
The other participants in the row mount
ed their train and proceeded without
molestation after they returned from
their pursuit of Zimmerman, who got
half a block away

NEARING THE END
Failure of the Great Strike on the Van
derbilt Lines

NEW YORK. Aug. Is-The New York
Central strike is virtually ended. though
II has not vet been declared off by the
Knights of Labor. The refusal of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers TO
come out was its death knell. About the
Grand Central depot this morning every
thing was quiet and trains were being
dispatched with perfect regularity. The
police were about as strong as ever, but
there was apparently no necessity for
them TO be there. Mr.. Webb was early at
his office and expressed himself as thor
oughly satisfied with the situation. He
had Just received dispatch from Dewitt
which said that all was quiet there, and
there were no strikers in sight. West
bound trains were being moved over the
Auburn branch. Live stock was being
loaded in cars and pushed forward. Mr..
Webb expected siXtv men TO arrive here
this morning from Pittsburg. These.
with those already brought from other
points. number 2GO. With these new ar
rivals it is expected that great progress
will be made during the day in clearing
the various freight yards.
At9 o'clock nothing had been heard as
TO what had been done at the sixty
seventh street and Thirty-third street
Yards None of the leading lights of the
knights could be found. The police ar
rangements for the strike today differed
since Friday night, when the trouble
began. Inspector Byrnes said this morn
ing:
"It is the intention of the company to
operate the whole freight line of the road
today. The officials claim that they have
enough men to do SO and we have suffi-
cient force to protect the company's men
and property In that event. In order that
we might have all the force required TO
meet any unexpected contingency ! have
ordered back TO the citf all the captains
who were away on leave OF absence But
| as the situation presents itself today |
hardly think their presence Is snecessary.
The only depredations reported during
| the night were along the Tenth avenue
. freight tracks, where In number OF In
stances, coupling pins were pulled from
the cars with the effect of breaking ny
the trains. The nelghbOrhOod abounds
with young toughs, who were probably
the real mischief As soon as Il
was reported at headquarters that thi,
action was causing trouble extra forces OF
policemen were dispatched TO the Wes'
Side and the annoyance ceased.
That the general executive board off tn,
Knights of Labor will denounce the ac'
ton Of the leaders of the present strike
al their meeting tomorrow, Is generally
believed, for it Is said that they have al
ways followed this policy in crawling oul
OF such difficulties. That this viii b'
their action was believed when one OF tn,
board said yesterday, before leaving tn,
city, that the general executive board die
not sanction the strike. but advised thu
district and local leaders to hold off unit
they were positive that they could win.
The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi
neers and Flremen are laughing in thel
sleeves to-day at the terrible defeat OF th'
Knights. The knights themselves ar
very much disgruntled.

He Sticks to the Holy Gnost story and

RocKFoRD. ILL.,. Aug 1s-HundredS of
teams were driven out 20 Schweinfurth'
Heaven Yesterday, the crowds being
attracted by a report that Schweinfurth
and Mary Weldon were to be married.
They were disappointed. however, as
there was no sign of wedding, and
Schweinfurth and his followers all pro-
tested that there was to be none and that
no one was authorized to procure a mar
riage license. The five lusty brothers OF
Mary Weldon all believe in the Holly
Ghost story and one of them said: "ifwe
did not know that this was an lmmacu-
late conception, but was chargeable to
any one. we would make any one who is
responsible very tired of life.'
Schweinfurth preached for several
hours yesterday, and in the course Ot his
sermon said:

violation of the laws of the land. court

we claim; that we lead the life We pro-
fess to, and our motives are pure and

distant when methodism, congregational
ism, presbyterianism and all denomina-
tiOns which are now contributing so
persistently toward our downfall, will
themselves succumb to the Deriidy and
unchastity which thrives within their
own churches. We see In our midst more
forcibly than at any time for the. period
OF 1900 years the prophecies OF John

mony that she was pure and chaste and
