The Fi,st Picnic Of the season.

The members of the Typographical
Union give their first picnic to-day. 1t
is needless to state that James Park will
be crowded by visitors during the day
and until the fete closes at 2 m. tonight
The. committee of arrangements has
done everything to make the picnic sue.
cessful in every respect. The old saw.
dust has been removed, the ground has
been raked off and new saw-dust spread
in the dancing circle. The spriHkling
machines have been doing good service
on the grounds. There will be no dust
to annoy the dancers; no Objectionable
features to prevent our best people from
attending and enjoying themselves.
The disciples of Faust and followers of
Franklin, known as guild, called the
Printers Union, create the music Of
types that produces either delightful or
sad impressions in the human mind.
The guild has given warriors, statesmen,
jurists, divines, learned men Of all pro-
fessions, to the world, and it now pro-
poses to give the people of the United
States a President, in the person of
Horace Greeley. At the picnic the
strictest order and decorum will be OBJ
served, so that the old folks can enjoy
themselves and the young can indulge in
Terpsichorean pleasures without let or
hindrance. The craft will be RESPONSE
Bile, its members having determined to
make the picnic success. Street cars
will run to the park from Court Square
at regular intervals during the day and
up to twelve o'clock at night. The great
prize distributions to the most popular
young lady, candidate for Sheriff, candi-
date for Tax Collector, best type-setting
apprentice and most popular editor will
create a lively contest among the friends
of those fortunate people known as the
most popular"

TWO INQUEsTs.
A Family Poisoned by Drinking
Water from n Well.

Coroner Mohatt held an inquest last
evening on the bodies of Sidney Hobson
and Lucy Walker, colored people, who
died yesterday under very suspicious
circumstances. Hobson was a wealthy
negro, residing on Carr avenue. About
five days ago, he, with four Of his family
and Lucy Walker, returned from the
field and drank water out Of bored
well. They were immediately attacked
with violent vomiting and purging.
Yesterday Sidney Hodson and Lucy
Walker died. The others are recovering
slowly. Some months since Hebson
brought his son, Allen Hobson, aged
eighteen years, from Kentucky.
Allen has had a bad character,
and suspicious rested upon him
as the author of the calamity.
He was arrested yesterday on the charge
Of poisoning the well for the purpose Of
killing his relatives, and inheriting the
fortune gathered together by his father.
DIR. Saunders attended the parties, but
gave no opinion as to the poisoning
theory. A sample of the well water
was taken to DR.. Chandler, who is ap-
plying chemical tests for the purpose of
analyzation. Sidney Hobson, before he
died, stated that he believed his son had
placed poison in the well. The jury of
inquest returned a verdict that the de-
ceased came to their death from the eff
fects of drinking water from well sup
posed to have been poisoned.
