 P1t.
 CHICAGO, Oct. 5.-Untf1 today remarka- ply little has been generally known regarding the early life of B. P. Hutchinson, whose manipulations iA the wheat market are the wonder of many people. This morning the story or his career is told in detail.
 "Old Hutch" is New England Yankee. He began his business career in the little village of North Reading, Maas., about forty. six years ago, when he entered the country store of Edwin Foster. Here he was paid $20 year to look after the store, and when not so employed to mend children's shoes in the back room. Mr. Foster employed anoth- ST lad in the store, to whom he gave $50 6 year. Ben did not like this distinction in salaries and rebellsd against it. The other boy was paid $1O more a year because he could "read writing hand, and was, there fore. more valuable to his employer than Hutchinson was. Finanly Ben obtained per- mission from MT. Foster to use part of an old shed, which he built into kind of a store, with patched-up windows on the side and an old window in front, whereupon was in- scribed: ''Ben Hutchinson, Boots and Shoes." Here young Ben made boots and shoes on his own account. Every Saturday he would go to Lynn on foot and buy stock and sell the shoes he had made. He em- p1oyed several boys about the neighborhood to assist him. When he returned from Lynn he always brought some "gimcraeks" with him, whica he would trade off to the boys, and, although he paid them money for their work on Saturday, by Monday he managed to get it all back in trading with them.
 Ben was natural trader. After @ while he got tired of his small business and decid- ed to go into business in Lynn on 8 larger scale. While in Lynn he discovered that some men in the commission business were making more money than he was without do- ing any hard work; 50 he concluded to give up the manufacture of shoes and go into the commission business, which he did in 1850, on Pearl street, Boston. After remaining there two years he went to Milwaukee, where he started in general business. Final ly, some years laters, he moved to Chicago and engaged in the wheat commission trad- ing.
 Benjamin P. Hutchinson is now in Chica- go, worth millions. The other lad employed by Foster is still hard at work managing the interests of the United States Hotel in Bos- ton. He is known all over Massachusetts as a generous, genial gentleman, and his name is TillY HainH

 Hutch at His old Tricks.
 CHICAGO, Got. 5.-To-day there was a rust ling and hustling on the floor of the pro- duce exchange and prices of products of all kinds were dancing again. For two hours fluctuations were measured by fractions. But at noon the indicator jumped a cent at time and the traders looked at each other to sec what 1t meant. Then they plunged into the pits to catch the deal. December wheat dan- ced about between $1.121& and $1. 1311S the first honr. At Il &. m. the whirl took iS to 115. Everybody was a buyer. Up it went from 115 10 118 and then thare was a big hurrah. There it hssitated and dropped back to IF at 12:3O. There was no trading in October. The cash future was not above 119, but 1t was quoted nominslly at 115. May touched 119 and fell back to 118. Duluth December up from 122 to 127 and May to 12o New York December up from 1141< to 118; May 121. Twenty thousand bushels of old No. hard sold to miller at Buffalo at 1415k. 'FThe dearest wheat in America, '' said W. T. Baker. Corn was stronger than wheat early and at noon November had moved from 45 up to fl. January polk moved firmly up to 15 and the crowd began to talk r in the near future.
 The trade in wheat is narrowing down to @ battle of the giants, thought it appears that all or nearly all of the local giants are on the bull side. Commisson men are practically unanimous in saying that their trade has gone into corn, and that a majority of even their largest traders have abandoned wheat. The scalpers are nearly all enthusiastic bulls and have bought five or ten, margined 1t well laid it away and have gone over to the corn pit to make living. There are fears that Hutchinson will treat the shorts in Novem- ber corn to @ similar dose to that which he gave the shorts in September wheat.

Taamany,s war on Hewitt.

NEW YORK Oct. 6.-Tammany Hall held its convention tonight and put up Sheriff Grant for mayor. Previous to the meeting a conference committee had proposed five times to the county democracy for joint candidate, but all five names were rejected, namely, Sheriff Grant, Judge Durgo, Roswell P. Flower, J. J. O'Donohue and s. s. Cox. General Cochrane presided at the convention. The nominations are: For mayor, Hugh J. Grant; sheriff, James A. Flaek; county clerk, EFF. Riley; president of aldermen, G. H. Foster.
 Resolutions adopted pledge Tammany to the support of Cleveland and Hill, and con- tain denunciation of the know-nothingisna which is interpreted as an attack upon Mayor Hewitt.
 NEo YORK, Oct. 6.-The leaders of the county democracy generally regard the nomi- nation of Sheriff Grant for mayor with ill- concealed joy. They think the ticket will not be exceptionally strong. All hope of a compromise has ended. Abram S. Hewitt will undoubtedly be nominated by the county democrats from their talk tonight.

A GIGANTIC sWINDLR.
Collapse of a Blg Syndicate OrganiEe' to Speculate In St0eks-Where is VII 

Collapse of a Elg Syndicate Organized to Speculate In StOeks-Where is Will Ham HI. Ingham9
 NEW YORK, Oct. 5.-One of the largest swindles that have been worked in this city for some time was brought to light to-day by the disappearance of William H. Ingham and the closing of the broker office of William H. Ingham 6 Go. at No. 38 Broadway. The amount of the swindler's profits cannot as yet be ascertsinea and 1t is probable that it never will be known. From the present in- dications it is believed that fully $100, ,O00 is involved.
 Ingham made his appearance in this city in the latter part of April, 1887, and opened the office of W. H. Ingham & Co. at 40 Broadway. He advertised extensively in out of town papers, calling attention to the im- mense profits that could be made by invest ing with W. Fl. Ingham & Go. 8 speculative syndicate. The syndicate was described as a mutual pool which was to operate in stocks, bonds and grain. The shares were to cost $1O each, the capital stock S35, ,000, and the managers were to withhold thirty per cent. of the gross profits as @ return for the trou- ble. The unwary nibbled the bait and sent in their $1o bills rapidly.
 THE SAME OLD TRICK. Pretty soon the concern began to resort to the old time brokerage swindle and circulars were mailed to all parts of the country set
 ting forth in glowing terms the advantages of investing in the firms scheme and offering g dollar to any person wishing to become
 agents for every share of stock they sold. The firm soon had an abundance of agents. From time to time the subscribers were informed of the progress of the scheme, showing large profits. Most of them subscribed for addi- tional stock and advised their friends to in- vest. Several dividends were paid out of the money invested by the dupes In the latter part of April the firms busi- ness had 90 increased that they found 1t nec- essary to secure larger quarters, and they moved into 53 Broadway. The capital stock was soon increased to $75, 900, and things went well until up to two months ago, when one of the firm severed his connec- tion. This was the frat rupture. Ingham, however, continued to run matters and
 scooped in all new subscribers that came along.
 On Saturday last the climax came. Ing
 ham sent cards to all subscribers, announc-
 ing that in consequence of heavy losses the syndicate would be compelled to suspend
 with the loss of the entire membership capi
 tai. Nothing has been seen of Ingham
 since. It is believed he came from Chicago.

 JACKSONVILLE, Ost. 5.-Dr. Neal Mitchell, president of the board of health, issues the following bulletin for the twenty-four hours ending at 6 p. m.: New cases 52, deaths 6; total cases 3,022, deaths 277. Of the new cases 15 are white and 37 eolored.
 The weather continues warm and the hopes of phenomenally early frost are dispelled. The situation remains unchanged, except perhaps that the cases of fever are generally of milder type. An effort is being made to populate camp Mitchell with convales- cents. The plan of forcing people to take up a temporary residence there at the expense of the sanitary association has been abandoned as impractieable. Dr. B. o.

CANADIANS GROWING EXCITED.
Annexation Is All she Talk-What
 Parties Oppose Et.

E1EkkcB VRpUbo AAs
 OTTAWA, Oct. 5.-Slowly, but surely pubs lio interest from one end of the dominion to the other is being aroused over the talk of annexing Canada to the United States. The question promises to dwarf all other political matters. It is practically the sole topic of conversation of the streets, while the news papers are devoting great deal of interest to the subject. The movement will meet with the greatest favor in the maritime provinces of Ontario and Manitoba. Quebec though populated by French Canadians will be the greatest opponent of the scheme. This is attributed to the conservative ideas of the Cathoic church, which claims to enjoy the greatest liberties granted at the French conquest. The Protestants of Ontario very largely espouse the cause, while another ele- ment of the same religion will oppose it ow- ing to the sympathy of the Canadian Irish, who in large numbers hate British institu- tions.
