No arrangements have as yet been made for the funeral or Mrs. Hancock, whose remains are now on the way to St. Louis to be laid away In the vault which she built years ago as the resting place for herself and ber family. Louis D. Plcot, the business agent of the family in St.

Louis, was seen this morning and said he had not been able to decide what to do In regard to the funeral and he was of the opinion that he would have to wait until Oliver Russell, Mrs. Hancock's brother, arrived here with the body. Mr. Plcot has been the recipient of many kind offers of service and sympathy from old friends or both Gen. Hancock and the Russell family, and there Is a disposition displayed to pay a fitting tribute to almost the last of a highly esteemed St.

Louis family. Although Mrs. Hancock has not lived la St. Louis for many years, she was at one time a prominent member of society here and was married to Gen. Hancock, who was then only a Lieutenant, in the old Russell home on Fourth street, opposite the Southern Hotel.

Her father was Samuel Russell, one of the first wholesale grocers In St. Louis, and for a long time the family residence was on Fourth street, opposite the Southern Hotel, the property still being In the family. Three grandchildren, two girls and a boy, the children of Russell Hancock her only brother, Oliver Russell, and her two cousins, Mrs. Emma Rouvler of this city and Mrs. Ward, wife of Capt.

Ward of the army, are the Dearest surviving relatives. Mrs. Hancock was de-cended on her mother's side from two of the oldest Huguenot families or New York. Her paternal grandfather was Oliver Dubois and her maternal grandmother Maria Brown, the latter being sixth In descent from Paul Richard, third son of Dean Paul Richard, Comte de Valllal, a captain In the French Guards. Mrs.

Hancock's grandfather, Steven Richard Brown, the grandson of Capt. Johannes Breun. who commanded a company In this city in 1689. was of French descent and figured conspicuously In the colonial history of New York. The Breuns or Browns were connected by marrlatre with the Kings, Van Burgs, Clintons, Livingstones and other old colonial families of New York.

Mrs. Hancock's grandfather, Oliver Dubois, removed from New York to Ohio and then to St. Louis, which latter place became his home for many years and was afterward the home of Mrs. Hancock's parents, where she was born and lived until her marriage In 150 to Gen. Hancock, then a Lieutenant In the 6th Cnlted States Infantry.

Coroner Campbell held an autopsv.

which disclosed the tact tiiai the dead man's skull was fractured, hut whether this was caused by the heat or otherwise could not be positively ascertained.

He had only known her tor about six weeks. He brought her to this city, furnished a house and started housekeeping. His newly-found happiness, however, was of short duration, for. after living with him a few days, his wife suddenly lert him. When she had gone he round out from the neighbors that she had been married before, tour years ago, to a man named Jack Fisher, a gambler, by whom she has one child.

Fisher left her about a year ago, but neither has secured a divorce. The child Is still living and Its mother told her friends that she was afraid Davis would find out her past history and shoot her.

Kuhlman. Bishop Ryan of Alton addressed the following letter to the priests of the diocese recently relative to the suspension of Rev. Fr. Kuhl-man: The Rev. C.

Kuhlman was, on pressing petition made on the plea or braken health, allowed to do the penance enjoined by the sentence in a monastery at Rome, nnder the direction of the Cardinal Prelect of the Propaganda. There was no new hearing of the case, and. In consequence, no newdecislou. The announcements of a contrary tenor appearing in the newspaters are wholly without foundation.

TSTATR SV.Wa The Merchants' Terminal Bailroad chasing in the Coun'y-Agents' Sa ad Pur- es. There has been much speculation or late among land owners In St. Louis County and real estate investors as to the route of the Merchants' Terminal Railroad through the county. Some of the dealers have maintained the road would not no any further west In the county than was absolutely necessary.

That Is, that It would not make a circuit of Clayton, but would foliow the line of the city limits west of the Sklnker road and Forest Park tnrough the Catlln and Chouteau tracts to a' point south of the part named in the city ordinance granting them a ri slit of way. This tneory was exploded yesterday by the railroad company flllng deeds to several tracts on a fine that shows they will make a circuit of Clayton. Yesterday they filed a deed to 23.40 acres, north or the Bouhomme road on the north and south road north of Clayton. The property was owned by George Moellor, and the railroad Is said to have taken the title to the property In the name of Theodore Hemmel-man, Jr. The consideration Dam el was $20,000.

It Is also reported that the 400 acres of land bounding Clayton on the west and south owned by J. T. Davis have been secured by the Merchants' Terminal people. Real estate operators In the county say tho Merchants' Terminal would have been forced to take the route they did even If It were not the most practicable, as the Catlln and Chouteau property west of Forest Park, which Is destined to become high caste residence property, would have been spoiled for that purpose by the Introduction of a railroad, and that the owners knowing this would not have sold a right of way through their property for less than $30 a front foot. In making the circuit of Clayton they will avoid having to cross the Catlln tract, or if they do cross It, It will be at the southwest corner, where the property will not be damaged.

The buying or options on land along the proposed route or the Midland Hlectrlc road Is still going on. County agents do not bellave the theory that It Is those Interested In the Midland road who are buying these options, but say It is the M. K. T. Railroad, who are coming Into the city this way.

The agents who are buying the options reruse to discuss their movements, and say they do MT Being wovsn into shape, and seamiest, they attain a perfection which cannot be secured in a Sewed Corset.
