A 8 BIG SCHEME 01 FOOT . A Wealthy Syndicate of Chicago, Montreal and London Capitalists c Proposes to Construct a SHIP EA1LWAT AT I1IMEKSE COST. Planning to Connect the Iforthwest With the Atlantic and Joining the Trade interests of THE DX1TED S1ATES AXD CANADA. Trudust Obtihti Fran tie Deration (kTaimenl for Chicago, November 8. Early in tbe coming session of Congress representatives of a syndicate, composed of Chicago, Mon treal and London capitalists, will present for consideration a gigantic scheme. From present appearances the plan will place Chicago and the Northwest in direct connection with the Atlantic seaboard. The scheme is to build a ship railway, which is designed to connect the lakes wilh the St Lawrence river and the Atlantic Ocean. The matter is to be presented to the Canadian Parliament and a subsidy for its construction and maintenance asked of the Dominion Government. Tbe inangnration and completion of the .scheme involves the expenditure of 12, 000,000, according to the estimates iur jiished representatives of the syndicate. The combine has its headquarters at Toronto and ilcmtreal. PROMISES OF BKITISn SUPPOET. A United States official stationed at To ronto is understood to have just returned from London, and a report comes from To ronto that while in London he acted for the syndicate and secured assurances from En glish capitalists of their cordial, moral and linanciai support Tbe ship railway project is the first great step toward uniting the commercial interests of the United States and Canada. The originators of the vlan are Canadian business men and capitalists, who have always advocated a union of the commer cial interests of the two countries. Erastus Wiinan is represented as betas one of the leading movers in tbe scheme and is being listed for a pretty big slice ot tbe block. SHOUT CUT TO TOE ATLANTIC. Three routes have been considered, either one of which would reduce by at least 400 miles the distance between Clucago and tbe Atlantic Ocean and Liverpool. The construction ot the snip railway, it has been demonstrated to tbe satisfaction ot the syndicate, would make the time between Chicago and Liverpool for a fat steamer only two days longer than from 2cw Vork to Liverpool. So quietly have the plans been matured that the first intimation of tbe project reaches Chicago from Toronto with the statement that a franchise for the operation ol the syndicate on Canadian ground was secured from the Dominion Parliament in such shape as to escape notice. It is also stated that the through routes under consideration have already been sur veyed, and one of them favored by a major ity of tbe promoters of the enterprise. MOST rAVOEED KOTJTE. As near as can be learned, the most favored route is to connect the Georgian 21ay with Lake Ontario by means of the railway, which is to be about Go miles long. Tl e direct course is through lakes Michi frs, Superior and Huron, through tbe bay to Lake Ontario, and thence to the St. Lawrence. The franchise obtained from the Dominion Parliament provides for a canal, but is worded so that it can be used to con struct and maintain a sbirj railway instead. The canal, it is estimated, would cost over 30.000.000, while the ship railway does not call for tne expenditure of more "than 512, 000.000. The Dominion has a liking for canal projects. It has just concluded to build an other waterway at Coteau, Province of Que bec, on the north side of the St Lawrence, at a cost of 2,000,000, in order to get around the Cedar llapids. There is now, on the south side of the river, a canal for this pur pose, tbe Ceauharnois; but it is found that the increasing grain trade from the West to the seaboard justifies a more capacious canal, and the old one can bo utilized for water power CAXAL AT STE. 3IAKIE. The Dominion Government is now build ins a new canal at Sault Ste. Marie.the fut ure importance ot wnich is as clear to it as to our Government Xear by, a short canal, 50 feet wide by 12 deep, but intended for water po-ver onlv, drawing its supply Irom Lake Superior, has been undertaken by private enterprise. Analogous to this latter scheme and to one of the same sort on the Michigan side, but incomparably more important, is-the proposed canal for utilizing the water power oi Niagara. LTKCOLN HAY EESIGK. IteporU Thatthe Minister to England Will Serve Xo Longer. Chicago, November 8. It is reported here that Kobert T. Lincoln, Minister to the Court of St James, will be iu Chicago next week. It is said that before he leaves for the "West he will go to "Washington and there tender his resignation as Minister to the Court of St James. The position held bv Mr. Lincoln is an expensive one, and the necessary expenditures are in excess of the salary received. Mr. Lincoln has been obliged to return the social attentions extended to him, and this has been a heavy drain upon his finances. Al though a ii'cmber of a thriving firm, Mr. Lincoln is not a wealthy man, and could act stand such inroads "upon bis income. music ron the holidays. Great Bargains In Fianos and Organs.

A comedyof errors occasioned some chagrin and a great deal of merriment yesterday morning. James Yonng, a laborer, is employed by tiie Winifrede Coal Company, at the foot of Wood street ,He went to work before 6 o'clock vesterdav morn ing and in the yard back of the elevator he made a discovery. Twonen were stand ing beside a bonfire, whose flames crackled about two iron sates that stood amid the burning timbers. Upon Young's approach the men fled. Young immediately tele phoned to Lieutenant Berg, who hastened to tbe scene. He extinguished the flames, and, calling Patrol 1, had the safes removed to the Third street station house. A short time afterward one of the Wfni- frede coal firm, who thought that the safes had been stolen, called upon Lieutenant Berg. "When he saw the safes at the station house he wanted to know why in the deuce they had been removed. Explanations- fol lowed. Thfe" safes had been taken on trial from a manufacturer, and were to be tested for their fire-proof qualities. A fire was built about them in the evening, and old papers were plsced within tbem to see how well they would withstand the heat. Young had discovered two tramps who had camped by the side of the fire, taking them for bur glars. The tramps mistook Young for an officer and fled. Berg thought he was on the track of a crime, and the coal company thought the safe: bad been stolen. MALICIOUS IHFBISOHHEITT. A Woman Says She Was Wrongly Shut Up In an Asylum.

THE STRANGE CASE OF AN OHIO PENITEN TIARY PRISONER. A Woman Sends Him to Prison for Fifteen Tears by False Testimony and Afterward Confesses A rittsburs Attorney Inter ested In the Case. rSFKciu, TSLEQllAM 10 TUB DUPATCH.1 Columbus, O., November 8. A peculiar case has developed at the penitentiary. which will probably result in the release of William Offer, received from Lorain county December 14, 1888, to serve 15 years for as sault. The man protested his innocence, and so persistent was he in tiiis that Chap lain .Sutton and others were led to the con clusion that Offet was playing for sympathy. The prosecuting witness was Mrs. Julia "Un derwood, wife of a minister. At the time of the alleged offense the woman's husband was on a stumping tour of the State in tho inter est of the Prohibition party. She went on the stand, swore to the as sault, secured the conviction of Ofiet- and .he was sentenced to 13 years. At the trial tbe-man admitted some parts of the woman's J siory, aeniea tne cnarce ot assault, out 'his testimony was disregarded. On Wednesday, a letter was received at the penitentiary lor the prisoner. It was written from New York and proved to be .from J. T. Underwood, the woman's hus band. The writer stated that his wife, from whom he had separated, confessed that her testimony was false and that Offet told tbe truth on the stand. The fact so preyed on the mind of the minister that he secured the services of I. H. B. Patterson, a Pittsburg lawyer, to investigate and see what could be done to seenre Offet's release. The latter, at the request of Mr. Patterson, has pre pared a full statement of the case, covering the facts as testified to by him, and steps are to be at once taken to secure his release.
