| CHICAGO, Nov. 8.-Edward B. Hunt, q
years of age, student at the Illinois Phar-
macy college, committed suicide last night
by shooting himself in the head. Hunts
home was in Garnett, Kan, where his
guardian, John r. Foster, is the president
of the First National bank. Disappoint-

| THE CAUSE OF THE ACT.
| CHICAGO, Nov S-A strange story was

| nigt, blew his brains out with a revolver.
The story is that Hunt was to marry
today Miss Monte Dalla McCrosky, said
to be the daughter of a cattle king resid-
ing in the new state of Washington.
According to the testimony, Hunt left
his home IN Garnett, Kan, for a trip to
the far northwest, about a year ago. for
bis health. On the road he met Miss Nc
Crosby, and the acquaintance was followed
by an engagement not long after their
arrival at Tacoma. All the ceremonies
were said TO have been performed, and the
relation of the pair during the time they
were in Tacoma was that of man and wife.
After his departure the young lady found
mat she would become a mother and to
shield her own and her fathers good name
she left her home and went to visit friends
In Iowa, where she gave birth to a baby
boy, which, however, lived but a short
tlr1e. She had heard but once or twice
from her recreant lover, and now deter
mined to hunt him up. Ten days ago she
arrived in Chicago and met Hunt on the
street, and demanded of him that he marry
her. HINT agreed to do so, and the we'd
ding was fixed for today.
Monday night Hunt failed to appear at
his apartment, and it was not until
Wednesday that his roommate, s. w.
Rogers, met him for the first time in three
days. On being questioned as to his
whereabouts the two preceding nights.
Hunt related the above story to his friend.
When questioned by the coroner Rogers
said that the deceased had often mentioned
the lady's name to him and told the story
of his love affair; but it was not until
Monday that he told that he had ruined
her, and that he would make all the repar-
alton within his power, and that he would
marry the girl Saturday. Hunt also said
that be intended leaving the college where
he was studying, and 90 to Washington
after the ceremony had been
performed, hoping to be forgiven by his
intended father-in-law. This was the last
Rogers saw of Hunt alive
The story told by another witness, a bar
tender, was that last night Hunt went |
into saloon with three lewd woman and !
ordered the drinks, saying that be had no |
money but offered his overcoat for them, |
which the bartender would not take.
The coroner has notified Hunts guar |

EARLY in the coming session of congress,
representatives Of a syndicate, composed
OF Chicago, Montreal and London capital

gantic scheme, which, according to the
present plans, will place Chicago and the
northwest in direct connection with the

lakes with the St Lawrence river and the
Atlantic ocean. The scheme will likewise
be presented to the Canadian parliament.

ture Of SI2,000,000, according to the esti-

'As near as can be learned, the most
favored route is TO connect Georgian bay

way, which is to be about siXty-siX miles
long. The direct course is through Lakes
Michigan, Superior and Huron, through
the bay, to Lake Ontario, and thence to
St. Lawrence. The franchise obtained
from the dominion parliament provides
for "A canal; but it is worded so that it can
be used to construct and maintain a ship |
railway instead The canal, it is estimated |
would cost over $50, 900, 900, while the shin |
railway does not call for the expenditure |
of more than $12, 0O0,O9O."
