Chicago was yesterday yes-terday the scene of a denouement in a genuine romance, with ail the essential features wealthy nobleman, disinherited disin-herited sou. beautiful women, a duel and a mystery. Baron liudolph Kal-noky Kal-noky de Koraspalk, nephew of Count Knlnoky of Vienna made his first visit here about a month ag), registering at tho Richelieu merely "Rudolph Kalno-iy'1 Kalno-iy'1 of New York. He was handsome "and distinguished, and appeared to be the possessor of unlimited moans. The ob ject of his stay iu Chicago was a mystery mys-tery to all except to the manager of the Richelieu, Carlson, to whom he partially par-tially told his story. Kaluoky, according to his own confession, con-fession, was at one time a staunch defendant de-fendant and admirer of Queen Natalie. He had also been a chosen champion in the revels of the gay young crown-prince, crown-prince, whose suicide shrouded all Kurope. Seeking a change in America he accidentally ac-cidentally met Miss Millie Atherton, a member of an opera company. She led the baron a doleful life, both here aud in other cities. She constantly kept before hint that she could never become be-come his wife, as her heart was already given to one for whose sake sho would shortly quit the stage. Kainoky finally became convinced of the truth of this and remained in Chicago Chi-cago when the company left. Weakening, Weaken-ing, however, he went to Louisville iu one last ell'ort to conquer the pretty actress. While there he seems to have met ouo of his numerous rivals, though iiot a successful one. Last Friday ho returned trom Richilieu, having given up the idea of following the actress. The same night a friend whom lie had met in the south dined with him. A too full indulgence in wine quickly ended the friendly character of tue meeting. A cry of rage was heard and a heavy fall. Kaluoky had knocked his companion down for speaking disrespectfully dis-respectfully of the women he loved. An hour afterwards a friend of the Southerner appeared with a respectful nolo, demanding a meeting. Kaluoky accepted. The affair was carried out with regard to every nice distinction of tue c.jdo. Saturday night tho baron was informed that all ilotatis had been arranged aud the meeting would take place iu Jack-sou Jack-sou park, 'at daybreak Sunday. Rapiers Ra-piers were the" weapons selected. At 4 o'clock yesterday morning Kainoky entered a waiting carriage aud was immediately im-mediately joined by his second, stopping stop-ping on the way to take a physician. At Jacksou park they found the opposite oppo-site parly. Shortly after 0 o'clock the men were facing each other aud a moment later the word was given and like a llasn tho southerner commenced the attack. Alter sumo sharp lighting t'.io southerner south-erner iullicted a slight wound in the right leg of tho baron. A little later the baron, by a clever Illume, pricked tho skin on the light shoulder of his adversary. The latter, however, parried admirably, and at this moment, lo the horror of the second, tho oarou appeared to slip and literally fall on the point of his adversary's sword, which entered his neck. A stream of blood gushed from the won ud. The second ; immediately im-mediately stopped the combat and the Barou's wounds were hastily dressed. dress-ed. After ascertaining that the result would not, necessarily bo fatal, tho southerner and his friend left the field, livery effort to identity this man was failed. It is thought, he is a citizen of Atlanta, (ia., famous in the south as an authority on the code duello, and who, although quite young, has taken an active part iu several all'airs of honor. Baton Kiluoky's exact whereabouts are kept a secret. From conversations conversa-tions with Manager Carlson he fears the Baron s misplay whs not more) accident, but that finding find-ing himself facing one of his equal iu swoi'dmansliip, he took that means of houornlily ending Irs life.
