Harrison, an EnSlishman, has pur-
chased from the A.chison, Topeka
and Santa Fe Railroad Company 50
quarter sections of land in Milton

Death from Canned Corn.
San FRANcIsco, May 14.-Mrs
Perkins died yesterday morning in
Berkeley, and as she is the third
member of the same family who has
died within II few days, the others
being a son and daughter, an inves-
tigation was taken and it is now
stated that they were all poisoned by
eating canned corn. 1t seems that
some of the boys found somo cans of
corn which had been thrown away
at a cannery in Temescal, aud this
was taken home and cooked and eat
ell with fatal results.

Our Highest Office Goes Begging

Gen. Fitzpatrick prefers to Remain where
lac can ..Do the Most Good" Anoih
Confidential Note.
1t is not generally known that the
Governorship of Washington Terri.
tory was offered to Gen. Kirkpat-
rick by Pre- ident Hayes. While
Stanley, Matthews, ex-Attorney Cen
eral TAFT and ex-senator Bruce, of
Mississippi, all sought the Office,
probably because of the fact that
Washington "will be State in Il
few years, Gen. Fitzpatrick declined
the position, because he wanted to
be where he could do the most
good" for the Republican party in
the coming campaign. Following is
the correspondence that took place
on the subject:

pleasing discovery that Secretary Nc

had monopolized the celericsl force or
ganized at the expense OF the govern

paign documents. and was industriously
engaged in mailing some thousands oil
circulars advertising his own private en-
terprises. The indications are that
Gen Butler will roll up his sleeves and
enter into another struggle ior the Gov
ernorship of the old Bay State. His
boast that lac never abandoned an en-
terprise when once engaged in 1t, Is
strikingly exemphtied in his persistent
fight ior this position. George l. Con

umbus, o.. district, expresses the opin-
ion that Hancock will carry Ohio.

BUTLER'S PLAN.

from Msssacb busetts 10 Doing.


WASHINGTON. July 1.-THE Mar says:
"The plans and intentions oi Gen. Ben
Butler with regard To the pending pohti-
cal canvass are being discussed "a good
deal in speculative way, and the re-
port which seems To be more generally
credited Is that the General intends
to support General Hancock, with
the view ol obtaining the regu-
lar II, mucratic nomination Tor Gov
rrnor oi Massachusetts next year. The
action Of the Batter delegation to the
Clncinnsii Convention rather tends to
confirm this view Oi the Generals plans
II Is we'll known that he controlled ab-
,solutely the men who went To that Con
vcntion ~ repres natives OF the Butler
Democracy, and they were not likely to
have taken any important step
without first consulting him. The
delegation, though excluded from
the Convention. readily list
enrl To terms oi cDmprDn 80 from the
REGULARS, aud in short, order, harmony
aud peace were restored and the two
welded into one. General Butler,
through his lieuienants at CINCINNATI,
thus showed that his desire was TO
strengthen and build up the Demo-
cratic party in Massachusetts,. Had he
wanted to divide and weaken IL he
wouli have prevented II union oi the
factions. lie is accredited with always
havInga purpose IN view, and II tins be
true he must have counted upon attain
ing some end by uniting and strength
.nlny the Democracy in his State. He
has boasted that he never abandoned a
purpose after once taking it, and the
general opinion in Massachusetts Is that
h,. intends 10 make another attempt TO
r, ach the Guhrruatnrisl chair. As the
candi tate oi united Drmocratic party
