CHICAGO. April 29.-The break of prices
In grain IN the Board Of Trade this morning
was caused by rumors that B. P. Hntchin-
son, the veteran speculator was in financial
trouble. No facts in evidence were given by
those who talked of the matter, though it is
commonly reported that he has lately lost
heavily in both wheat and corn. Mr.. Hutch
insOn could not be found upon the floor of
the Exchange and nothing could be learned
as to the real situation in his affairs. The
early furry In the market soon died away.
Later, rumors spread to the effect that Mr..
Hutchinson was missing. Inquiry of Vice
President Hanill of the Corn Exchange Ma
tional Bank, brought confirmation of the
rumOr. He said that none of Mr. Hutch
inson's family had seen him since yesterday
afternoon. when the board closed. The ac-
tual condition of Mr.. Hutchinson's affairs is
his trades on the board are closed out.
A private despatch from Milwaukee saws
that all his deals there are closed. What
ever may be his financial condition 1t is not
believed any one will lose anything through
him as his family, it Is confidently expected,
Will see them paid If necessary. The last
seen OF Mr.. Hutchinson was about o'clock
last evening. He was in drinking place
with friend, and remarked to him as he
left the place: "This Is the last time you
will ever see me alive" The remark was
dismissed as joke at the time.

Their Case Before the massachusetts
General Court.

BosToN. April 29.-Representativ Mellen
of Worcester presented in the House this af-
ternoon the following resolutions, which
were referred under the rules:
Whereas, it appears by the united testimony OF
the public journals that Mrs. Clarietta Johnson,
citizen of this commonwealth, has been de-
prived of her liberty and sentenced to imprisOn-
ment as punishment for an infamous crime with
out her counsel being allowed to interpose and
argue legal objections to the suficiency of the
Indictment and proceedings against her, and
without apparent legal cause or Justification and
against her consent; and that her counsel was re-.
moved from the court, and then sentence passed
against her, and she is now confined in one of the
houses OF detention and reformation In this com
monwealth undergoing such sentence;
And, whereas, IL appears that precedent has
been established in this commonwealth, under
the fugitive slave law, and the proceedings of the
United States officials in that regard, that its leg
islature will not permit the prisons of the con-.
monwealth to be used for the detention or jmpris
onment either of citizens of or denizens IN the
commonwealth, without due process of law;
Wherefore, be it resolved, that the ATTORNEY
general of the commonwealth be, and is hereby
instructed to examine into the legality and pro
prlety of the proceedings by which said Clarietta
johnson is now held in prison. and after notifyin@
the authorities of the United States and the nrjs
oner that they may be heard therein to max a
such report and recommendation of action To he
taken by the legislature in this behalf as the law
and justice shall appertan.

surprise to the shlvering spectators who had

defeat, and started In to win. Their hitting
was hard and free, and Moreover, their hits
were well punched. a marked Improvement

favorable impression. He is clean, hard
hitter, good base runner, and an excellent
fielder. taking in with great ease number
of wide and low throws. Both he and o.
Brien poked the ball over the right field fence
in the fifth, to the accompaniment OF three

therefore appear In the debt statement as ayaii4-
