"Oi6. Hutch" VIII Once More Tackle
the Chicago Stock Market.


CHICAGO. Dec. 9-B p. Hutchinson
coo Hutch') will again embark in busi-
ness Oh the board. lie will open an Office
Monday TO deal in grain, provisions,
stocks "and all other merchandise" Since
his return from New York, several months
ago, Mr. Hutchinson has been somewhat
relieved from the severe attack of rheuma-
tism with which hs was afflicted while
there.
His fortunes, too. have changed for the
better. AT one time since his return the
old man sold his mem bership to relieve
current pressing necessities, but few
days later he made some lucky trades and
bought it back again. Since then his ven
lures have been fairly successful, and the
new firm stBrts on n sUuut fUUtrug.
It is thought that his operations for the
present will be carried on in an exceed
ingly confined area, and an acute contrast
will be seen between existing conditions
and those of the past.

MAYO WINS HIS CASE.
The State of Michigan Pays Him for Build
Ing a Road.

IRoNvooD, Mich, Oct. 30.--Advices
from Lansing are to the effect that the
State Board of Auditors has allowed the
claim of Thomas f. Mayo, Of this city,
formerly of Plainfeld, Wis Mayo
built state road from Bessemer to
Montlake, on Lake SUPERIOR in 1890
and selected Bots Blanc Islands lands
in payment. Shortly afterward lower
peninsula road contractors selected the
same lands in payment for work done
down there, and the supreme court was
asked to establish whether Bots Blanc
island belonged to Upper or Lower
Michigan. The court ruled in favor
Of the latter, and Mays COM
menced suit against the state to recover
$50, 900 which he claimed the roads cost
him. Evidently his prospects Of success
IN suit were not considered bright, and
the matter was brought before the last
legislature, resulting in the passage of a
special act authorizing the board of
auditors to settle with Mays for sum
not exceeding $4,000. Private dis
patches from Lansing state that Mays
has been awarded the maximum sum.
The action is generally approved here,
opinion being that whereas Mays had
done the work, he should be paid for it.

HicE. born, the chief constructor of the

tary states that good progress has been
made on vessels in course of construction

DEATH in BLAZING OIL.
A Train Crew Roasted Alive in Wreck on
the Ann ArDOp Road.

HAMBURG, Mich, Oct. 26.-About Z
o'clock last night the Toledo, Ann Arbor
& North Michigan north-bound freight
train with extra engine ran into a sink
hole about three miles north of here.
The engine left the track and is on
its side in the ditch and is q
total wreck. Behind the engine
were two tank-cars of oil and
three cars of coal, which were
wrecked and piled on to the engine.
The oil and coal caught fire from the
engine. On the engine were Engineer
Beaulieu, Fireman Albers and Head
Brakeman Mulligan, who were buried
in the debris and were burned to a
crisp. Trainmaster NJ. B. Fahey, Con-
ductor Fludder and the rear brakeman
were on the train but were in the
caboose and escaped uninjured. The
wreck was probably caused by the track
going down, as the track is several feet
below the level at the point where the
engine left the track

WROTE LETTERS TO SENATORS.
Prendergast Took Great Interest in TIL @
Silver Discussion.

IfenuGrSaSC look GREAT interest IN TIL
Silver Discussion.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. 30.-Mayor
Harrison's assassin seems not to have
devoted himself exclusively to affairs
local to Chicago. He has been writing
letters and postal cards for some time
past to senators and seems to have
taken an especial interest in the silver
question in opposition to the
repeal o& the Sherman law
and to have felt it to be his
duty to instruct the silver senators as to
the course to pursue at every turn of
the discussion. He probably received
no replies to his communications, but
was not deferred from writing on this
account. His tavorite way of communi-
cation was the large postal card, and
one of the leaders of the repeal
opposition says he has received a
dozen or more of these since the
silver debate began in the Senate.
These communications were invaria-
of the card and written diagonallv
across so as, apparently, to utilize all the
space of the card and crowdlng the,
name into the lower right hand corner.
lie generally signed his name as 2. e.
J. Prendergast but occasionally as
2. Eugene James Prendergast Writ
ing on the 2lst inst, he said: "Repeal is
effectually beaten unless cloture is re-
sorted to to stife the voice of the peo-
pie, and if this dishonorable, unconsti-
tutional and unusual course is resorted
to, the peace of the nation is risked
and no senator who votes for cloture
can Justify his course from a patri-
otto standpoint. [ repeat that repeal
is defeated unless cloture is resorted
to-" On the oath he wrote: 81 notice
Wayering in the ranks of the silver enc
mics. Your side is now the strongest.
YOU can win The best thing to do is to
fight it out. Look out for articles on
the part of your opponents. Remem-
Der that the strongest and most intelli-
gent leadership is on the part of the sill
verite side. Grover Cleveland is impo-
tent. The cry for repeal is simply
a whim Of his. Is the United States 60
ing to yield to an irresponsible Presi-
dents whim?" On the 26th he wrote:
Hold the fort The Presidents about
to give up the fight, but when certain
persons like John Sherman and Banker
Benedict, of New York, terminated
him. If you hold out you are sure to
win. They dare not attempt cloture.
Hill, OF New York, has no influence in
the Senate owing to his unsavOry record
in New York. The President hes be-
come tired and will give up in despair if
you delay vote as long as possible, by
every means at your command" He
adds postscript to this note in which he
says: Il have done and shall continue
to do my duty"
The silver senators paid no attention
to these cards, for the reason that since
the silver fight began they have been
receiving many of a similar nature from
all parts Of the country and from people
apparently excited on both sides of the
question. These have included threat
ening letters as well as some telling
them if they did not cease their opposi-
ton to the repeal bill they would be
shot down like dogs.

BOTH ENDED THEIR LIVES.
Capt. Howard and a Pretty Married Woman
Suicide In London

LONDON, Oct. 30.-The Star to-day
publishes a romantic story which is said
to be sequel to the suicide on Thurs
day last of Charles Howard, brother
of the Earl Of Dillingham;, who
killed himself with a pistol at his
residence "a Evelyn Terrace, this city.
Capt. Howard who was captain in the
COldstream Guard who at one time was
married to the eldest daughter of Earl
of Wichilsea and Nottingham. Accord
ing to the story told by the Star
the death of Capt Howard was
brought about by his infatuation for
a young and pretty woman, who shot
herself on Saturday. A friend of Mrs.
BlOsS, the young woman referred to, is
quoted as saying that Capt. Howard
often visited her and that some days
previous to his suicide the Captain was
informed that his wife was aware of
his intimacy with Mrs. Bloss and that
she had taken steps necessary to COM
mence a suit for divorce against him.
The Captain and Mrs. Bloss appear to
have been SO apprehensive Of the result
Of the exposure which the divorce pro-
ceedings would bring about and they
seem to have been SO infatuated with
each other that they determined
to die in each others company.
With this object in view, Capt.
Howard and Mrs. Bloss are said to
have purchased poison with the inten-
ton Of partaking of it together, but
something seems to have made them
change their minds, for the Captain
shot himself with a revolver at his
home, where he was found dead by a
servant, sitting in chair in the smok-
ing room apparently asleep. Mrs.
Bloss, as already stated, shot herself
on Saturday

EMPRESS SAVES A TRAIN.
Heroic Act of the Consort of the Aus
trian Ruler.


trian Ruler.
PARIS, Oct. 30.-The Gaulois to-day
says that the Empress of Austria recent
ly saved crowded express train from
being derailed. According to the story
told, the Empress was enjoying ride
on horseback, her favorite exercise, and
amusement, when she saw pile of
stones placed upon the rails over which
the Buda Pesth express was to pass.
The Empress sprang from her horse and
calling to groom who was riding be-
hind her, she herself helped to re-
move the obstruction from the track
and a minute later the express passed
over the spot in safety, the passengers
little knowing how nearly they had es-
capped terrible accident and totally
unaware that the lives of many of them
had been saved by the Empress of Aus
tria
