Two DISTINGUISHED MEMBERS OF rHl DRAMATIC Pso
FRssIoS PoIsoNED.-On Sunday morning Norma and
Carlo, the well known trained dogs belonging tt
the Hutchinson Brothers, who have recently beer
performing at our theatres, were unfortunately
poisoned by accident. The dogs we're very saga
cions and were capitaily trained, and the loss ts
the owners is very serious one. They were va
ued at thousands of dollars. One of them had ap
peared before most of the crowned heads Of Europe
end bath of them had travelled with their masterl
over half the world In company with their own
ers they went into drug store on Sunday morning
where unfortunately some pieces of meat which
had been poisoned were under the counter. The
intelligence did not enable them to smell out tn
concealed strychnine, and they bolted the beef
poison and all. Antidotes were at once admins
tered but they were of no avail, and Carlo au,
Norma, who we're to have appeared tonight on tn
occasion of their masters benefit at the Pittsbur,
theatre, died the inglorions death of common dogs
