MaJt Gem. W. 8. Baacsck.
The citizeni of this country were
startled by the unexpected aunounce--ment
of the death of Maj. Gen. W. S.
Hancock, U. S. A., which occurred at
Governor's Island, N. Y., Feb. 9th,
'86. at 2 :35 p. m. Had he lived until
the 14th day of the present month he
would have completed his 62d year.
It appears that he had been suffer
ing recently from diabetes and kid
ney trouble, combined with the fear
ful effects of a malignant carbuncle,
which appeared on the General's neck
at the base of the brain, and which
continned to suppurate constantly
and prevent rest or sleep.
One by one the heroes of the nation
have been taken within the past year
from the scenes of earth, and now the
citizens of the nation are startled by
the news of the sudden death of the
hero of Gettysburg, who being called
by the Great Commander, resigns his
commission and passes to the spirit
world.
Governor's Island on the 13th inst.,
was visited by a raging storm and
banked with fog, but the military, as
well as hundreds of distinguished
citizens, wero astir at an early hour,
preparing for tho last rites to the
dead. Everybody on the Island last
evening had been permitted to take a
last look at the dead.
Mrs. Hancock was reported to have
passed a restless night, but, accom
panied by lady friends, entered the
room in which the body lay and took
a parting look at his face. Her grief
was pitiful. She kissed his forehead,
while tears fell from her overflowing
eyes. Then she sank into a swoon
and would have fallen had not kindly
bands assisted her. The coffin was
then closod. At 9 o'clock the first
gun was fired at Castlo William,
which aunounced the boat ready to
leavo the dock. Tho decorations
wore few, consisting chiefly of flags.
Tho procession moved to Trinity
church, composed of hundreds and
thousands of military and citizens
headed by Secretary Bayard, Gen.
Sherman, Lieut. Gen. Sheridan aud
other distinguished military officers.
The casket was in front of the altar
while tho wbito robed choir chanted
"Lord let mo know my end." Rev.
Goodwin read a lesson. The choir
then sang "Rock of Ages." The fun
eral cortege returned whero a steamer
was to convey tho party to Jersey
City and from there a special train to
Norristown. All along tho latter
route hundreds and thousands of
people, men, women and children,
were out to see the passage of the
black robed cars, testifying their es
teem and honor for the brave de
fender of the Union. The former
distinguished military officers lead
the line to tho tomb. A blue-coated
messenger from the widow brought
two wreathB of white Marguerites,
one wa& placed on the General's
casket and tho other on tho daughter's
and the tomb closed. A bugler
came out from the ranks and sounded
the last taps for General Hancock.
Senator Van Wyck.
The people of the United States are
becoming acquainted with Nebraska's
senior senator, and the railroad lob
byists are finding that he is not sus
ceptible to their arts and wiles. We
find the following in the Omaha lice's
Washington correspondence of a re
cent date :
"An old lobbyist, who has been one
of the members of the third house for
a great many years, said last evening
in conversation with the railroad peo
ple, that Senator Van Wyck of Ne
braska, was tho worst man with whom
the railroad had to deal. Ho is
against monopolies of every charac
ter, and cannot be induced to vote
against the people's interests and in
favor of the railroad corporation by
all the blaudishments and blarney
which the eloquent representatives of
the corporations can bring to bear
upon him. This man continuing said :
'1 have given up all hope ot doing
anything with the Nebraskan senator,
and the only hope for us in the future
is to defeat his re-election.'
It is very generally understood here
that Senator Van Wyck will meet
with considerable opposition in the
Nebraska legislature, but the opposi
tion will come troin just tho.e very
men ho can well afford to oppose.
Senator Van Wyck's course whilo in
the senate has been such a to com
mend itself to all but the great corpo
rations which have grown rich by ab
sorbing the public domain, and if the
power of these companies should he
strong enough to defeat him no one
will bo mure sincerely regretful than
his associates in the senate, who,
while occasionally sullering under the
lash of his keen tongue, admire bis
outspoken straightforwardness al
ways." Semelkina; Helag; Doae.
However far from the accomplish
ment of all that may be wished, tho
railroad commission has succeeded in
making several things very plain, and
are, to tbat extent, entitled to the
gratitude of the public Among these
may be briefly named: compelling
railroad companies to receive and
ship merchandise over their roads
without reference to whether the
same has come partly over a rival
road the shipper has a right to
choose his route, aud under the law,
the roads have no right to discrimi
nate against him for exercising this
privilege.
Another is that (he law of 1881 is
found to contain a solid provision:
"no railroad company shall demand,
charge, collect or receive for 6uch
transportation for any specific dis
tance a greater sum than it demands,
charges, collects or receives for a
greater distance," one that, firmly ap
plied, will work a quiet revolution in
railroading in Nebraska.
About 9 o'clock Friday night of
last week James Martin met a horri
ble death on the Union Pacific track
near Gilmore. From Gilmore he had
started to walk homo, and when at the
iron bridge over Papillion creek, he
was struck by a passing train and
mangled almost beyond recognition.
He leaves a wife and two children.
It ii said he had been to Omaha dur
ing we aay, goi aruns ana men came i

The remains of Gen. Hancock on
on the 11th inst., were placed in a
steel casket, dressed in the uniform
of a major general. An order has
this day been issued by Gen. W. D.
Whipple, Assistant Adjutant, by
command of Lieut. Gen. Sheridan,
announcing that the Lieutenant Gen
eral has a6Bumed Immediate command
of the division of the Atlantic and
the department of the east until a
successor to the command is assigned
by the President of the United States.
Orders were also issued detailing
four batteries of the Fifth artillery to
act as an escort at the funeral cere
monies, sixteen non-commissioned
officers to accompany the remains to
Norristown and a detachment of six
teen men under an officer to fire
salutes over the grave.
Mb. J. V. Wood has got np a peti
tion for circulation among farmers,
asking the railroad commissioners to
use their influence to have the rates
lowered on farm products, at least
five cents per hundred. It is a noto
rious fact tbat rates are now five cents
a hundred higher than they were be
fore the commission was created. It
is the duty of every farmer to sign
this petition. These commissioners
are supposed to represent the farmers'
interests. They are in the habit of
saying that there are no complaints.
If they have any influence let them
use it, or give reasons why they do
not. If they do not have any power
for doing good, there is no reason for
continuing an office sinecure at heavy
expense to tho state. David City

S. Sams, a farmer living not far
from Jasper, Ga., was bitten two
years ago by a rattlesnake. He im
mediately resorted to the native
remedy, whiskey, of which he took
copious draughts. A short time ago
Sams betrayed symptoms of St.
Vitus' dance. He is never still, not
even in his sleep, twitching his
muscles and moving incessantly.
Lately he has developed violent
symptoms, so much so that his wife
aud family and whoever comes
within reach are liable to receive a
beating. He now acts like a man
with a well-defined case of rabies.
He has been taken to Canton jail,
where a strong guard is kept over
him until the result of his case can be
reached.
About 300 strikers the other morn
ing produced a serious afiray at the
Henry Clay coko workB at Pittsburg,
Pa., by firing on a few hands that
were Btill engaged at work, and des
perately beating the foreman of the
men, setting fire to the tipple house.
The loss of Fri6ke & Co., including
tho burning of the house, will reach
$4,000. At tho Sterling works they
did some damage and injured two
men. Wyatt,who shot at the strikers,
was slightly wounded himself, and
was badly beaten later. The striker
who was shot was an Italian. In
this country, the law should be fol
lowedfstrictly in every respect.
The Philadelphia liecord gives
utterance to the following: "Our
farmers, right here in Pennsylvania,
within sight of the smoking chimneys
of manufactories, and enjoying all the
home market felicity which a high
protective tariff can bring them, are
constantly digging out for the West,
where there are no chimneys and no
homo market. Why is this thus?
Are tho farmers fools, or are the pro
tectionist shriekers knaves?" Tho
west offers many inducements tbat
the east cannot, the first being cheap,
good land.
The spirit of insubordination re
cently seems to be wafted on the
winds, having struck the Knights of
Labor at Seattle the other Sunday,
and as if by programme laid out, the
Chinese were driven outof that town.
The Chinese wero marched to the
steamer "Queen of the Pacific," lying
at tho wharf, and the rioters pay
steerago passage to San Francisco for
each Chinaman put aboard. Iu the
face of the mayor, sheriff and gov
ernor's proclamation for help, the
mob run aboard 100 Chinamen.
Daniel J. Dalton, clerk of the
Hamilton county, Ohio court, was
arrested the other morning at the in
stance of tho committee ou privileges
and elections of the House of Rep
resentatives and brought before that
body for contempt in refusing to
allow the committee to make a pho
tographic copy of the tally sheet of
precinct "A" of the fourth ward,
Cincinnati, and also failing to pro
duce the original returns before tbo
committee at Columbus.
TnoMAs Kobbens, alias D. B. Clay,
who is charged with being tho leader
of an extensive gang of horse thieves,
was captured the other day by Sheriff
Singer, of Dodge City, Kansas, in tho
vicinity of Heigler station, on the
Burlington road, and brought him to
Denver, Col. He has been charged
with the theft of a herd of horses be
longing to D. Forrest & Co., which
he aud his gang run off sometime
last fall.
At a meeting of the members of tho
board of school lands and funds, held
at Lincoln last week, an order was
passed declaring the leases to about
twelve thousand acres of school lands
in this state forfeited. These lands
will be subject to re-lease in a short
time. They ordered an appraisement
of the school lands in Sheridan and
Hayes counties for the purpose of
bringing them into market.
The sun-spot period is eleven
years. The cold wave period coin
cides. In January, 1864, in January,
1875 and in January, 1886, occurred
the greatest cold waves known in the
climatology of this country. Is this
an accidental coincidence, or do the
spots boss the weather? Let us have
some further light on the subject

(From our regular correspondent.)
Washington, Feb. 11, 1886.
During tho week interest in tho
proceedings of Congress, and in the
controversy between the' President
aud Senate has Been partly overshad
owed by the constantly expanding
Pan-Electric exposure. Everywhere
in Washington the telephone is the
recurring topic of conversation. It is
heard at the Capitol, in the lobbies of
the Senate and House, in the Btrcct
cars and hotels, and in every group
where politics or public men are dis
cussed. Every one is wondering
what the President will do, and what
the Attorney General will do.
It is painful to see the Democratic
party distracted from its great work
of reform by this embarrassing affair.
After twenty-five years of purification
it is a pity that it should be placed in
such a position. And I feel con
strained to say in the language of a
congressman from Maine. "If the
righteous suffer thus, what theu will
become of us poor Republican sin
ners." The friends of Mr. Garlaud hold
that while ho is placed in a very em
barrassing attitude, he is not at all to
blame. The supposition that Mr.
Garland's purposes were entirely
honest does uot affect the situation.
The pecuniary interest of a govern
ment officer must have nothing to do
with the public servlco with which he
is connected, and the Attorney Gen
eral has remained, 6incc he was elect
ed to his high office, connected with
an enterprieo whose interests he could
further by using his official position.
Official virtue is urgently needed in
these days when there is a deep Boat
ed suspicion in the public mind that
public affairs are uot honestly man
aged. And this affair is peculiarly
sickening when it is remembered how
the Democratic party prated, during
the late Presidential campaign about
old fashioned public virtue.
The courfio that Attorney General
Garland will pursuo cannot bo fore
cast, though it seemB be will attempt
to brave a public sentiment, a difficult
part to play where personal reputa
tion is affected. The opinion is often
expressed here that he must either
get rid of his Telephono stock, or tho
Department of Justice must get rid of
him. Somo Congressmen express
themselves freely about stock jobbing
statesmen, but Senators aro reticent.
Should proceedings of impeachment
be instituted against Mr. Gatlaud the
Senate would bo called upon to act as
jurors, and it would not be proper for
them to prejudgo the case.
The House committee which is to
investigate the conduct of the Tele
phone suit has on it five Democrats
and only three Republican member?,
but the latter aro active and deter
mined. Representative McKinley, of
Ohio, speaking of the scope of tho
investigation that has been referred
to this committee, said: "Nothing
can stop a House committee when it
gets started. It can go as -deep as it
pleases."
Congress did a creditable week's
work iu a quiet way. There was leg
islation for land and water. The
Senate voted $600,000,000 for the
Nation's militia, and the House pass
ed the old Dingley shipping bill, after
some iulaud members from Indiana,
Iowa, Arkansas, and other states had
astonished the floor and galleries by
displaying in debate their practical
acquaintance with nautical affairs.
After a long discussion in which
thero wero many passages at arms,
the Senate welcomed the coming com
monwealth of Dakota to the sister
hood of States. It was by a strict
party vote, with tboexcoption of Sen
ator Voorhees, who voted with the
Republicans. "The tall sycamore of
the Wabash" has a son in Washington
Territory who holds a prominent
office. As Washington is also knock
ing for admission at the door of the
Union, some one was bo uncharitable
as to hint that Senator Voorhees saw
good family politics in this concession
to Dakota.
Considerable rhetoric was expend
ed in the Senato over one man. The
Secretary of the Navy had asked for
an assistant Secretary of tho Navy
at a nalary of $4,000 a year. Sen
ator Plumb aud Ingalls of Kan
sas aud Van Wyck ot Nebraska
thought he was not necessary. Mr.
Plumb said ho would simply bo an
other official to wear a rose in his
buttonhole, give receptions, and dis
port himself to foreigners so as to
make tho Government "show" more
complete. These department chiefs
wero merely ornamental. Depart
ment work, like the brook, "went on
forever," regardless of who was Sec
retary. He thought there was already
too much machinery in the Govern
ment Departments. Responsibility
was now so much divided that in fact,
when traced up, it could bo found
nowhere.
Secretary Ingalls referred with
some severity to the course of the
Secretary of the Navy in connection
with the Dolphin, saying it had been
sent to sea time after time, in special
search of a cyclone to show its "struc
tural weakness."
Prof. G. C. Kocheb, widely known
in Germany and the United States as
a linguist and musician of high qual
ifications, was committed to the alms
house at Erie, Pa., the other day,
after being found drunk for Beveral
days. This man was born in Ruck
linger in Wurtemberg, Germany, and
received bis education at the musical
seminary located at that place. His
musical talent in this country was
known at Philadelphia and Chicago,
and highly appreciated.
Senator Allison's bill proposing
to mako full legal tender money in
terchangeable at the treasury or at
the sub-treasury in the city "of New
York, is attracting considerable at
tention. "Lawful money" is to in
clude U. S. notes, as well as gold and
silver, any one to be changed for any
other, at par.

other parties. Since bis execution
James Gillespie, Al. Lee, Mattie Lee,
Lee Longsdon and Annie Hawkins
have been apprehended, the women
being detained as witnesses. Iu his
confession he attributes tho shooting
of Baldwiu to Tomalson, the man
who escaped directly after the mur
der and has not been captured.
Adam Lindenmeyeb, an Inmate of
the insane asylum at Kankakee, III.,
attacked his keeper the other morn
ing, knocked him senseless, and then
escaped from the asylum. He bad
been sent there from Joliet prison,
where he was sorving a term for
burglary. Persons having the care
of insane patients cannot be too par
ticular in watching their movements,
to prevent tho taking of life. Under
all circumstances, they are dangerous.
Yearn ef SaflTerlns; Kaded.
For tbo past two years I have been
a great sufferer from ulcerated sore
mouth, the result of blood poison.
I have for months received troaltnnnt
at Bellevue Hospital, and by a phys
ician on 12th street, New York City,
as well as by ono in Brooklyn. I re
ceived but little if any benefit from
either. So I resolved to try S. S. S.
I am thankful to say it has done me
more good than everything else. I
have been taking it but two weeks,
and the improvement is very marked
in fact I am almost well, and be
lieve I will be perfectly so in a very
short time. I heartily recommend it
to all who suffer from blood poison.
