DEATH OF A WELL-KNowN MAN
Nathaniel Williams, well-known
citizen of New Castle county, died
Monday morning at Middletown, in
the 10th year of his age. Last week
he had a relapse of an attack of pneu-
monia, and from that time continued
to sink until his death. Mr.. Williams
was a native of Philadelphia, in which
CITY he was educated. Both his par
ents were of this State, his father
having been born in Appoquinimink
Hundred, and his mother, who was
Miss Adams, was born near Newark.
When the deceased. attained his maj jor-
ity he removed to this State and en-
gagged in farming and had accumulated
a large amount of property.
About 40 years ago he was married
to the sister of Paynter Frame, of Sus-
sex county, who survives him, but
their union was not blest with any
children. He was brother of Sena-
tor James Williams, of Smyrna. He
was of six sons, three of whom William
and Isaac of Philadelphia, James Will
liams, of Kent county, survive him.
Two brothers, Joseph and George,
have been dead for some time. He
was universally respe 3ted. He will be
buried at st. Annes Church at 1.9O
o'clock tomorrow.

Chicago, the Fair and the Fire

One of the most remarkable facts
noitceble among the great influx of visit
ors to the Fair is their keen interest in
the great city, her past history and pres
ent wonderful growth, and the marvel
ous rebuilding that has taken place since
Chicago was swept away by the flames
of the fire of1871. This is nowhere more
manifest than at the Cyclorama of the
Chicago Fire, Michigan Avenue and
Madison Street, where the beautiful eff
ects that the artists have secured in
painting the great conhagration are like
nothing ever yet shown in cycloramic
work the burning embers, hurled
through the air by the hurricane that
was blowing on that memorable October
day, the topping walls, portions Of which
are shown in mid air, blown there by an
explosion of giant powder, clouds of
ruddy hue, tinted by the flames, the
shadows of which are dancing on the
doomed buildings-all so realistic as to
be startling in their effect, and one can
almost imagine the work of destruction
to be at the moment going on.
The visitor to Chicago will find this
one of the most interesting exhibition
in the city.
