II Tho letter was written in ink in an angular y hand, the writer evidently intending to 1 mako it look liko a lady's hand. Several of tho words, wero misspelled, but tho latter on tho wholo was that of an educated person. Tho defect" seemed to bo intentional. The latter was undoubtedly written as a decoy to induce Mr. Wechsler to look further into tho fatal package. As a matter of tact it nan tnis very oncct. Other clues aro afforded by tho prosenco in the box of five printed business cards bearing tho name of John A. Lanney, wagon builder, 415 West Eighteenth street, New York. Although they wero probably placed thero with tho express intention of throwing the polico off tho track they may provo val uable links in tho chain. Then there is another piece of writing in the hands of Gnpt. MoKelvoy which, he considers, affords a most valuable clue, but ho will not give' its exact nature. Superintendent Camp Hell said this morning that he felt confident that the man who sent the Infernal machine would be in tho hands of the police during the next twenty-four hours. Two thousand dollars reward are offered for the arrest of the man, and it has stirred tho detectives to their best offorts. One thou sand dollars are offered by Mr. Joseph Weohsler, and the other thousand by his . partnerjSlr. A- Abraham. Mrs. Wechsler's injuries aro much moro serious than they were at first supposed to bo. Both her hands were so terribly lacerated by the pieoes of metal scattered by the ex plosion that they presont the appearance of jigged masses of raw flesh. Two fingers of tho loft hand wero almost entirely shot away, and the skin is shrivelled up by the scattering blast of tho explosive. Her face is gashed all over by jaggod pieces of glass ana metal, and her left eyelid is cut in two. Altogether thero are fifteen separate wounds on her face and neck. When Dr. A. Boches. tor, of No. 2 St. James place, called at the house this morning to dress Mrs. Wochsler's wounds he found her in the greatest agony. He said that her case is made much moro serious by the fact that the viru lent acid mixed with tho metal and glass had entored tho wounds and brought about acute inflammation. Ho greatly feared that blood ,- poisoning would ensue. 1' Tho little boy Philip, who is only eight years of age, had several inches of his scalp torn off by the explosives. His left oyo is badly injured and both his hands aro severely out. An Evenino Would reporter was shown this morning by Mr. wechslor into the room where the infornal machine w'as opened. Only by such ocular demon stration could anything like an accurate idea bo obtained of tho terrible force of the unknown explosive. The room is in tho rear of the second floor and is used as a children's bedroom. The furniture and carpets wore completely wreoked. All over tho floor wero places where tho fiory acid hod spread, burning tho carpet i and tho flooring in spaces as large as eighteen inches square. The pier gloss and chandelier N globes wore shattered, and the bedclothing ' was so burned as to bo useless. Largo pioces chipped by tho flying pieces of metal from tho cornice, the celling and the picture frames covered tho floor, mingled with the blood of Mrs. Wechsler and the little boy. Mr. Wechsler is unable to account for the aot. Ho repudiates tho theory that it was that of a discharged omployeo seeking re venge. His statement as to the se Suence of events last night is as ollows; " I went out for a walk at I about D o'clock intending to stroll through I Washington Park, -smoke a cigar.and bo back in half on hour. I am told that at 0.15 a m young man in n district messenger's uniform rang the front door boll. Tho door was opened by my father-in-law Mr. II. ItOBsman, who is over sixty years of ago and very near-sighted. Tho pretended mes. senger boy gave him a parcel wrapped up ' with string, ou the top of which were a letter i and a card both addressed to me. My wife was tuen In the rear room on the second ; floor with my little son Philip," My father. in-law called to her that thero was a letter i and parcol for me, and at her renuost he took both up to her. She laid them on tho bofa and paid uo "further attention to them for at least half an hour, during which time she put tho boy to bed and read several chapters V of a novel. It was not until 10 A o'clock that sho examined tho parcel B ind camo across a paper package con. i laining tho plated silver knffo, fork aud Jjioon. Seeing theso che naturally concluded that tho other contents of tho par W eel woro of n similar nature, and B jiad no hesitation in opening it further. Tho W . little boy'B curiosity was attructed by tho r clatter of the knife and fork and ho got out "siu" ancl "t093 by ber sil10' ii3? nioimv,SiES she drew back the slide of Jha box thercfsRSSHerriflo explosion, which ,01, uartled not only every one in this house, but Iks3 caused tho peoplo in tho adjoining houses to run hero in tho belief that the houso had fallen, " I camo in nt that juncture," continued Mr. Wechsler. " and was met by ono of my hons. who told mo that my wifo and littlo Philip wore nearly killed, hut thoy did not know what had caused their injuries. "I otonco ran for Dr. Boohostcr. I shall to-day secure tho services of other physicians to consult with him. My wifo is forty years of age. and of very strong constitution. I am in hopes that sho will recover, al though both sho and tho boy will in any ex tent bo maimed and disfigured for life," Copt. MoKelvoy has learned by inquiry at every District Messenger offlco in Brooklyn and New York that tho messenger who de livered tho packago was not au omployeo of any of tho companies. Nono of tho com panies wero called upon last night to send anything to Mr. Wechsler's house. Mr. Bossman, who received tho nnrool, says that the messenger was short ami slim, and about 20 years of age, but ho took no particular notico of him and he is bo noarslghted that ho is afraid that he would not bo ablo to identify tho man. .Tho messenger asked for no re ceipt, but hurried off as soon as ho had placed tho parcol in Mr. Bossman's hands. The fragments of the box which contained tho deadly explosive wero on Supt. Camp, bell's table at Brooklyn Polioe Head qurrtora this morning. From tho heap of splinters remaining tho box appears to havo been only about eleven inches long, five inches wido and three inches deep, a remark, ably small spoco in which to put throo pook. otbooks and a machino of such terrible power. Tho top of tho box was furnished with a slldo to which was affixed a stool spring. At tho lower end of the spring was n .sharp, jaggod pieco of stool which, when the lid of tho box was pushed back, was forced against tho oxplos lvo substanco and thus brought about tho catastrophe, Tho box and its contents wero scattered in such small fragments that as yet only a par tial idea can be obtained of tho composition of tho machine. It is known that tho box contained manv fragment of metal and glass and somo power ful acid in liquid form. Thero aro no traces of gunpowder or dynamite, but Capt. Mo Kelvoy found a remnant of what he believes is an exploded piooe of gun cotton. Mr. Wechslor and Mr. Abraham havo been in business together in Brooklyn for tho past twenty-two years. They employ 1,500 persons. They havo never had any trouble with thoir employees, and, indeed, do not come directly in contact with any but the heads of departments. P. II. McNulty and George Bogers employ all the clerks and do tho discharging when necessary. They cannot bellove that any discharged employee could harbor resentment against Mr. Wechslor, not only because ho takes no part in such matters but becauso he is a liberal' and kind-hearted man who makes no enemies. NOVA SCOTIA'S FISH INTERESTS. Statistics to be Collected Upon Wblrlt Can. nda Will Iteit Her Caiei, trECIU, TO IDE ZTINIHO WORLD. Halipax, Oct. 28. It is reported here this morning that tho Dominion Government has divided Nova Scotia into nino flBhqry dis tricts, and has appointed nlnoi-officials-to collect statistics of fisheries this sea son. Theso officers aro instructed to visit each fishing establishment and to personally obtain from the owners of fishing vessels and packers and exporters of fish statistics of Canadian fish, enes. They will also show tho importanco, extent and value of their shore mackerel fish, erles and tho trstho conducted previous to the expiration of tho Washington treatv with Americans in the solo of bait, ice, provisions and other supplies. Spe cial attention will bo paid to the collection of statistics of American cargoes of fish trans-shipped at Port Mulgravo and Hhediao and shipped in bond by rail and steamer to Ameriuan ports. The Canadian caso will rest largely, if not completely upon the showing mado in tho statistics thus com piled. It is known here that for a year past certain navy officials of the Fishery and Customs de partments have been engaged in compiling special reports covering tho value or tho privileges enjoyed by the Americans in Canadian waters during tho Washington treaty over and abovo tho half million a year awarded by the Halifax Commission. With the records used before the Halifax Commission the statistics then prepared but not used tho reports compiled during the past year, and tho slatis tics to be gathered by the officials just ap. pointed, tho British Commissioners will hove what officials here regard as a complete pnd unanswerable argument.

(fecial to the eteniso wonLD. CniCAoo, Oct. 29. It is discovered that tho man found dead yesterday in a carriago shipped from the East is Charles Ferris, a mechanic of Bridgovtater, Pa. From all that can be learned by telegraph Ferris left Bridgowater Sunday night for Pittsburg. Ho probably got on a freight train to steal a rido to Beaver and got into a quarrel with somo tramps, who shot him. A ticket for a recep. tion which was found in Ferrts's pocket took place Thursday evening at Bridgowater. Pa. A close examination at the Morgue of the body revealed a wound evidently inflicted by a pistol ball immediately above tho right eye. A portion of tho forehead was also crushed in as if by a heavy blow, and the base of the skull was fractured from behind. No pistol was found in or about the vehiole. It is believed that the murder was com mitted somewhere near Bochester, Pa. The sidetracks of the Pennsylvania road there are in a deserted locality, and there would bo ample spaco to stow the corpso away in the carriage by removing the bars of the crate and nailing them in place again. HARTINGTON WOULD NOT STAND IT. Insldo Reasons Tor the Remarkable Change in the English Government's Policy. m-Pwr.lhT. CABLE TO THE ZVEXIXO WOBLD. London, Oct. 29. Theso reasons aro given for the remarkable change in tha policy of tho Government: The Marquis of Hart, ington complained to Lord Salisbury that he was bearing tho brunt of tho bottle while he (Salisbury) was resting in France, and he insisted on tho Premier's return. As soon as Lord Salisbury arrived in London the Marquis drove to Ar lington House in an ordinary hansom-cab to escupo notice, and had two hours' confer ence with the Premier. Ho showed how the country was going over to Gladstone, and in sisted that unless the proclaimings were stopped in Ireland and tho polico quieted in London, he would reopen communications with Gladstone and arrange somo plan for a settlement of Homo Bule and domestio ques tions. Lord Salisbury asked for time to considor. Ho consulted with Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, who counselled him to follow Uartingtou's advico. Ho thereupon instructed the au thorities in Ireland to stop tho proclaiming of tho Leaguo meetings. Chief Secretary Balfour, raged at being thus baffled in his efforts to show what a strong government in Irolaud could do.

George Schill ing yesterday brought them a cheering mes. sugo from thoir lawyers at Washington. It is noted here as a curious circumstance that of tho many petitions received by tho Governor for relief and clemency, thero is but n single formal appeal, and that comes from a smnll lntorior town in Now York SUto, to which only eight names woro at. tached, ono being that of William D. Howolls, of Boston. The other communications con siet of personal and individuaV petitions for clemonoy. Thus far no petitions mado in tho proper legal form havo boeu received. When ques tioned as to whether ho would consider n caso of pardon or commutation of sentence which had not boen made in accordance with tho legal requirements, tho Govornor said : "I presume tho Governor might on hiB mo tion and without any application pardon out of tho penitentiary any conv let ho choso or any number of them, and that if ho did, they would bo safely out, but tho Governor would bo liablo to impeachment." COAL-HEAVER GRAHAM'S DEATH. Capt. Itnsk Hay that It Was Iluo to Natural Causes. Chief Enginoor William It.

Busk, of tho Comal, who reported that Graham died a natural death, said : " As soon as Graham'B death was reported to mo I instituted a thorough im estimation into overy circumstance connected with it. I had the body thoroughly examined, and I can truthfully say that it gavo no indication of having been assaulted in any way. No marks or bruiseH were on it. and to strengthen my statement I got sovoral passengers to examlno it, who havo been retained at Galveston as witnesses. Tho coal-heavers who were on duty with Graham, did not complain to mo of having seen tho deceased cruolly treated, and so far ob I could ascertain not ono of them had ono word of complaint to make against tho chief engineer. Graham was found dead in the en. gine room. Ho had previously complained of being ill, and I concluded that his death must have been caused by tho heat, superin duced by cramps."

Tho peoplo aro all strangers to mo ox. cent tho lawyers," When Mr. Purdy was asked for whom ho intoudod to voto for District-Attorney ho beggod tho question. Assemblyman Mulry served in tho last Legislature as the representative of Tam many Hall and the County Democracy. lie said that ho has had enough of boss rule when it dictates tho nomination of suchaman as Col.

"You can say that I am with the peoplo in this fight," ho continued, ' Tho bosses have bowfed mo-out of a re. nomination because I expressed my honest opinion at the Tammany Convention. They now wish thoy had taken my advice." WAOE-WORIUtRS OUT IN FORCE. Thero woro thousands of wago-workers at tho mooting, and thoy wero as enthusiastic for Nicoll and Martino as thoir richer fellow citizens in tho audience, Tho presence of such numbers of workingmen shows that all aro enlisted in a causo to protect life, prop, erty, liberty and justice. The prominent citizens and business men who signed tho call for tha meeting wero astonished at tho outpouring. Hundreds of tho signer's wero unablo to gain admission to the hall and remained outside or wended their way upstairs where two overflow meet ings wero being hold. It was tho unanimous opinion of all pres ent that as a representative Citizens' meet, ing, combining peoplo of every political faith, its equal was never seen in this city. The vast audienco choered and cheered at every mention or reference to The World, while tho mention of the names of the news papers that aro supporting tho bosses and tho boodlers was received with hisses loud and long. Tho great success of tho Citizens' meeting was known all over tho city before 10 o'clock last evening, Thoso who camo too late to get nearer the hall than the stairways, returned to their section of the city nnd told of the up rising of tho peoplo. The bosses of tho County Democracy heard of tho sizo of tho revolt anil wero moro irigntenea man ever, xnoy wero in solemn conolavo at tho Now Amster. dam Club, whero scouts caaio hurrying in to inform them of tho great throng that was assembling to protest against their dictation. It is said on tho best authority that several of tho bosses are favoring tho withdrawal of Col. Follows from tho tioket. Thero is no doubt that last night's mooting has already had its effect. It would not sur prise many peoplo who havo had talks to-day with County Democracy and Tummauy Hall bosses if an effort was mado bo foro Monday to get Col. Fellows to withdraw. Thoro appears to bo some foundation to a statement that strong influence is being oxerted from Washington and Albany to accomplish this object. The friends of Gov. Hill say that ho was very angry at tho stupendous blunder of the local bosses in nominating Col. Fellows against the wishes of tho true Democracy and public sentiment. Tho members of tho Stato Committeo who are not representatives of Tammany Hall and the County Democracy aro unanimously in favor of Col. Fellows's withdrawal. Thoy will not admit this publicly, but they do urgo such a course iu privato con. sultotions. Members of tho com. mittio who represent rural districts say that if Col. Fellows remains on tho United Democratic ticket it will cost the State ticket thousands and thousands of votes in their sections of the Stato, and that tho success of the Bcpublicon State ticket will bo assured. Bepublican campaign speakers aro using tho nomination of Col, Follows for all that It is worth. They havo forgotten about tho tariff question and make their theme tho Democratic .bosses and tho rule of tho boodlers in Now York. Thero was a rumor downtown this morn, ing that Mayor Hewitt and ox-Mayor Cooper, wero thinking of asking or advising Col. 1' el lows to withdraw. Another rumor was that Boss Power vtus to resign his suoy in tho County Democracy. , Tho friends of tho boss denied this. Thoy said ho would either rulo or ruin tho County Democmoy. Tho Tammany Hall bosses would only ho too pleased to hear of Col. Fellows's with, drawul. Tho Tammany Hall nominees ou tho County and Judiciary tickots aro in n great stato of trepidation. They fear that the entire union ticket, with tho exception of Mr. Martino, will bo defended if Col. Fellows stays on it. Demoralization aud disorganization threaten both machines. The candidates for the Senate. Assembly, Civil Justiceships and Board of Aldermon aro determined to bo elected and will not allow tho unpopu. lor union ticket to defeat them. A largo uiu- if 4?
