PlrrsnrRGH, Oct. 1.-Two guests at
the Seventh Avenue Hotel, who have
been stopping there for several days, are
evidently on u mysterious errand. They
are ex.state Attorney Furthman, Of
Chicago, and Detective SuiIield, OF the

have escaped the reporters until now,
and so far the object OF their visit can
not be asceStained for the reason that
Mr. Rurthman has gone to Chicago, and
Detective Sutlield, although still in the
city, could not be seen to-day. tits sur
missed, however, that they came here to
investigate the deceased beef question,
as Mr.. Jamison, who is said to be Chi
CaSo banker, and also TO be identified
with Chicago beef firm, arrived on the
same day, and is believed to have been
working with them. Another theory is

GAIT, oNT., Oct. 5.--Three similar
packages addressed to three ladies arriv-
ed here through the mail and were de-
livered yesterday. Mrs. Cherry was the
first to get her package and gave the
contents, six chocolate drops, to her
three children. Shortly after eating the
drops all three OF the children were
taken with commissions, and although
medical aid was at once procured one OF
them died. OF the other two one is in
a critical condition, and the other will
recover. The news OF the poisoning
spread rapidly and reached the other re-
cipients before the drops contained in
their packages had been eaten. The
boxes bore the Toronto postmark. There
isno clew to the sender.

SERIOUSLY HURT.


Bad Accident Rt the baltimore & Ohio
Depot In this City Last Night.
James White, a well known resident
OF West Alexander, had a narrow escape
from death at the Baltimore & Ohio de-
pot about hali-past five o'clock last
evening. He tried to jump on the
HcmpGeld accommodation Just as it
was getting under the fast headway
that it is necessary for train on this di.
vision TO attain before it can climb the
Sixteenth street grade. He grasped
the rail OF the rear platform Just .as the
train went OH the trestle bridge, but
missing his footing on the steps, he
hung on for few seconds and then
lost lis hold. He fell to the
ground below, distance Of over
forty feet, and struck on his right side
with terrific force, and bounding up
fell again near the edge OF the creek. He
was seen to fall by quite number who
were waiting for the train bearing Mr..
Thurman, aud cry OF horror went up,
for it was thought that the man must
surely have been killed. Several who
FASTENED down the bank to his aid found
him alive, however, and at once removed
him to neighboring house, where he
was attended by physician. His right
arm was found to be broken in two
places; his right leg was also fractured
and his head was badly cut and bruised.
White is married man and runs n
sawmill ut West Alexander. He came
TO this city yesterday morning for the
purpose OF transacting some business.
After doing that it is reported that he
drank little too much for his own good.
1t was that probably that caused him to
miss his footing and fall.

Senator Sherman Tells Where he Differs
With wImnn's Plans.
New YoRK, Oct, 5.-The Sun to-day
prints a long letter from Blakely Hall,
at Washington, giving Senator Sher.
mans views on tho relations Of Canada
with the United States.
The Ohio Senator is quoted as saying:
"Mr. Wiman has strong predictions for
commercial union. l differ with him a
good deal about it. know OF no case
in history where commercial union has
advanced political union. 1t was tried
between this country and Canada twice
and utterly failed; it was tried by the
American colonies before the declaration
OF independence and utterly failed. 1t
was not until they secured political
union under the name Of ConfedeTacy
called the United States that they were
able to make stand against the parent
country. Even that confederacy proved
to be insufficient TO insure commercial
union, and so the United States formed
II constitution, and then for the first
time had commercial aud political
union. Commercial union followed poll
teal union.
Senator Sherman was then asked il
he thought Canada was ready for union
now, and lie answered: "NO, suppose
not. That can only comcafter longc
sideration. II cannot be hurried. In
regard to negotiation, will say that no
proposition has been made. The fulth.
rst nnVhOlV hus ever nrnnnapi IN IN nj
this time is simply to express willing
uess on the part OF the United States TO
consider lavorably political union"

-OLD nUTClI,s" CAREER.
The Chicago Millionaire Wheat speCulator.
How He Started In Life,

CHICAGO, Oct. 5.-Until to-day remark
ably little has been generally known re-
garding the early life Of b. P. Hutchin-
son, whose manipulations in the wheat
market are the wonder Of many people.
This morning the story OF his career is
told in detail:
"Old Hutch" is New England Yam
kee. He began his business career in
the little village OF North Reading, n.
H., about forty.six years ago, when he
entered the employ Of man named
Edwin Foster, who kept country store.
Here he was paid S20a year to look after
the store, and when not so employed,
TO mend children's shoes in the rear OF
the store. Mr.. Foster employed another
lad in the store, TO whom he gave $50 a
year. Ben did not like this distinction
in salaries and rebelled against it. The
other boy was paid $40 more year be-
cause he could "read writing hand" and
was, therefore, more valuable to his en-
ployer than Ben.
Finally Ben obtained permission from
Mr.. Foster to use part OF an old shed,
which he built into kind OF store with
patched up doors on the side and IN 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 employed several boys about
the neighborhOod to nssist him. When
he re,Nrned from Lynn he always
brought some 'jim.cracks" with hin,
which he would trade OF 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 decided to go into business
in Lynn OF larger scale, While in
Lynn he discovered that some men in
the commission business were making
more money than he was without doing
any hard work; so 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 lie started in
general business. Finally, some years
later, he moved to Chicago and engaged
in wheat commission trading. Benjamin
p. Hutchinson is now in Chicago worth
millions. The other lad employed by
Foster is still hard at work managing
the interests OF the United States Hotel
in Boston. lie is known all over the
State rs n generous, genial gentleman,
and his name is lilly Haynes.
