On Saturday night, about half-past eleven o'clock, a disturbance occurred in tre Hquor store'ef Thomes Hig- gins, corner of First avenue and Thirty-second street, between Charles Ashenfelt and Edward Kelly, concerning a job of work in which they ‘had both been engaged, when Kelly struck Ashenfelt in the face with hie fist and knocked him down. In the fall Ashenfelt struck the back of his head against the bar, and was go terribly in- jured as to reduce ‘iim to ineensibility. A physician was immediately called to attend the injured man, but before he arrived death ensued, and the remains were conveyed to the Twenty-first precinct station house. Kelly was subsequently arrested by officers Reckwel and Rusher, of the Twenty-first precinct, and committed to await the result of the inquisition. Yesterday afternoon Coroner Gover held an inquest at the Twenty-first precinct station house on the body of the deceased.

Dedication of the New Chamber of Commerce by the Chicago Board of Trade, NEW YORK MERCHANTS "EPRESENTED, wee ge Dedicatory “exercises and En- ‘certainments, &e, &e. ad Bag Our Chicago Correspondence. da Cmoaco, D., August 31, 1865. The last week of August in the year of 1865 will be a memorable one in the history of this great commercial metropolis of the Northwest. Netonly the merchants of Chicago, but the enterprising commercial men of all parte of the newly cemented Union, and of the Canadas; will remember it with pleasare and profit. Six hundred ‘of the leading merchants ef the United States and the British Provinces have been assembled here to partake of the liberal hospitality of Chicago, The real event which has brought them, together has been the dedication of the ‘new Chamber of Commerce building, just erected by the ‘Chicago Board of Trade. The exercises of formal dedica- tion, although insposing and Interesting, were not what the hosts relied upon to make the visit of their guests one of pleasure, ‘They seized that as an oppor- tunity to bring together the commercial and Dusiness men vf the country, t form intimate personal acquaintances, to extend hospitality and friend - ghip, and finalty to impress the business community of other parts of the world that Chicago is indeed a city of some account, andone which they sincerely belicve will some day rival the great Gotham. In giving a complete and intelligent account of the great event it will be ne- cessary to allude briefly to the building, which has been ‘dedicated :a8 THE CHICAGO CHAMBER OF COMMERCE It is located in the heart of the city, both geographi- cally and in a business point. Its principal front is on ‘Washington street, and one of the sides fronts on La- selle street. It is agtructure of considerable magnitude, and is characterized by excessive style in every detail. The exterior dimensions are ninety-three feet by one bundred.and eighty-one, and the height is something over one hundred feet, Adjoining the new edifice is an ‘old building purchased by the Board of Trade for its purposes, which is connected by a bridge. The cost of the new building was $400,000, and the old one pur- chased was $45,000, making a total outlay for the enter- prise of $445,000. The style of the new building ig one which cannot be designated by any architectural name, It 4 im many respects original, and combines both Roman and Italian features. It is built of the beautiful white colored stone which abounds so plenti- fully in the immediate neighborhood of. the city, and therefore presente a very beautiful outward appearance. pt et eg he these is the great hall, which is one hundred and ak. three feet long, sighty-seven wide and forty-five , ‘This is gaily freecoed and furniehed with an abundance Petes Set commeree, shipping, ral mechanics, art, &c., ‘and are er very beautiful. A number here'in Chicago are disposed to find fault with the frescoing, but it gen- erally meets the ‘of the visitors. the figures are ill designed out of proportion, the gay colors in whieh they are rendered command such attention as to neglect or prevent the discovery of the alleged faults.
