The Worlds Fair.

CHICAGO, Sept. 22.-Washington Park
has been included in the Worlds Fair site
by the Chicago Park commissioners. In
a sense the chosen site is one great unit,
comprising as it does the whole South
Park system Of Chicago. There are three
separate Park systems in the city, north,
west and south, each magnificent, but be-
yond question the finest is that stretching
in a superb vista from the heart of the city
south. The enthusiasm with which the
tender was received by the national COM
mission showed in marked contrast with
the reception of previous propositions. By
a resolution adopted early in the day, the
national commission had formally pledged
itself to regard the offer Of such site as
"fnal settlement of all questions relating
to the question of site," and when the
park commissioners promptly responded
and the exact location of the big exposition
was at last finally fixed, there was an in
slant outburst OF cheers in which directors,
commissioners and spectators joined
with vim. Stepping from the doors
OF the cityS railroad depOtS,
hotels and business houses, visitors to the
Worlds Fair WILL as it were, enter directly
the vestbule OF the exposition on the
lake front This "lake front" is strip of
park comprising sixty acres, upon one side
of which the shadow Of the massive tall
tower of the Auditorium falls daily, while
upon che other side ripples the clear
waters of Lake Michigan. Leading from
the lake front park the finest boulevard OF
| the city goes directly to Washington .rk,
| and connecting with the latter is the mid
way plaisance, which ends in Jackson
| park. Like the lake front, one side of
jackson park is washed by. the waves of
on vast network OF pleasure drives, en-
| closing great stretches of emerald mead
| ows and groves Of sturdy oak. Adjoining
| Washington park is race track capable
Of accommodating $4,000 people, and this
| the local directory expect to also make a
display and live stock. This improved
race track, where the live stock show will
be made, is within 100 yards of the point
selected for the main building, thus
placing the whole fair in one compact part
of the city, including the government dis
play and displays to be made by various
states in conjunction with the main expo
plan of the buildings proposed is generally
regarded as calculated to be especially
gratifying to live stock men of the cOun-
try, whose display will be most promi-
nent.

CHICAGO, Sept. 22.-To-night fatal
street atfray between brothers-in-law
ended remarkable contest for possession
of fortune of 100000. The contest ended
in the tragedy begun with an elopement.
Alfred Richner, several years ago, was the
husband of noted brothel keeper. Not
withstanding his marital relations and his
unsavory record Rlchner succeeded in
clandestinely working himself into the
good graces of the daughter of awealthy
-four and feed dealer named Kessler. Upon
the death OF Kessler the daughter, who
seems to have been somewhat simple
/! minded, disclosed her attachment for Rich
ner. The opposition of the family to any
recognition of that worthy resulted in the
prompt elOpement of the couple to Mon
treal, Richner later went through tha
form Of obtaining q divorce from the
with Miss Kessler legalized. They re-
1 turned to Chicago and feud was soon en-
gendered between Richner and his new
wife's brother. The latter accused Rich
ner of being actuated solely with the de-
sire to lay hands on the fortune of his sis

Kessler have been frequent, the
latest, prior to this evening, be-
4 ing in the court room,, where Richner,
apparently to place his brother in q ridicu-
lous light, emptled small sack of -four on
1 his head. Recently, it is said, Richner
i failing in his efforts to get at the Kessler

member Of the family Tonight he met
j young Kessler on State street and attacked
him with a cane. Kessler drew a revolver
and rapidly fired three shots. Two were

had been advised to arm himself, by the
