HAWJOUK IN HAKKISBUBO. Tii Maws of la Heath Received With Great Regret. The news of General Hancock's death was received in Harriaburg with profound regret. Many of our citizens knew the General personally, and those who knew him best spoke of his good traits and the love they bore him. Of all who stopped to read the bulletin in front of the Telegraph office not one but expressed regret at the death of the gallant soldier and courteous gentleman.

The flags on the capltol, at the Government building and at the Grand Army post rooms were placed at half mast early in the evening. Governor Paulson, on hearing tho sad news, sent the following telegram to Mrs. Hancock: Harhisburo, Feb. 9, 1880, Executive Mansion Mrs. Gen.

Hancock, Governor's Island, N. With those who feel the deepest sympathy with you in your mourning, I ask to be united. Hobt. E. Pattison, Governor of Pennsylvania.

General Ilancock was at one time during the war italioned at Hanlslure, and those who knev liim then, speak in highest terms of him as an officer and gentleman. A gentleman connected with the Dah.t Telegraph who knew General Hancock while in this city, said this morning: "General Hancock nover put on airs like other officers in Harriaburg. 13 knew his position, but he was not a martinet Ho was one of the plainest men I ever knew. While he was stationed here he used to have a great deal of printing done at the Telegraph office. He never sent his cony by an orderly, but always brought it himself and asked when he should come for the proof.

At the exact minute he was on time, and If the proof was not rendy, he generally lit a cigar and leaned up against the old desk In the back office and waited. The office was then on Third street, where the Baltimore clothing house is now. Everybody liked the General." Of those who sorrow most In Harriaburg over the dead General is Dr. J. It.

Hayes, who was intimate personally with him. Dr. Hayes was almost rendered speechless yesterday when he read the bulletin announcing the death. "Why," he said, "I received a letter trom him but a few days ago and nothing was mentioned about his illness." Already there is talk of a delegation ot citizens from Harriaburg attending the funeral. Mr.

John Alter, one of Harrisburg's oldest citizens, gives the following rerai nlscence of General Hancock on the plains thirty years ago: The death of General Hancock reminds me of him when he crossed tho plains with his army in 1854. I kept a toll bridge that crossed Deer creek in Eldorado county, Cal. Tho General encamped bis army on the east side of my bridge on a plain. The army consisted ol 800 mule teams, six mules in each team; 1,000 hones, 1,500 oxen, 000 soldiers, all In uniform. The General asked me what I would charge for crossing the bridge.

I said, "General, at my rates of charging your army would amount to several thousand dollars." (It was in the dry season and no water in the creek.) The General said, "I can cross over below your bridge." I said, "I am aware of that, General. You can allow me whatever you think proper." He said he did not like to go around atoll bridge, so he gave me a check fur 6500. He bad butafewdas to arrive at his destination, Benitla, a Government station on the Sacramento thirty miles from San Francisco. Governor Pattison to day issued an order as follows: "Headquarters National Guard of Pennsylvania, Adjutant General's Office, Harriaburg, Feb. lOlb, 1880.

As a tribute of respect to the memory of Major General Win field rcott Hancock, the flag on the State arsenal will be placed at half mast on the Irst. Guns will be fired at Intervals of thirty minutes from sun rise until during the hour of the funeral ceremonies minute cues, and at sunset a national salute of 88 Prospective l'leasure. The Harriaburg printers will hold a ball at the armory to moirow evening. The attendance promises to be very large. On Tuesday evening, Feb ,10 a private sociable will be held at Shakespeare Hall.

The ball of division No. 74, Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, will take place on Feb. 18th at City Ofays' armory. The arrangements are in the hands of an excellent committee. The Hebrew Charity ball will take place at the armory on Feb.

Department Commander Curtin, in his annual reDort presented yesterday to tne State Grand Army encampment at Scran ton, In which he speaks of the good work done by the order, and pays the following tribute to a HarnsDurg gentleman: In the matter of inspections, a worK so necessary to tne welfare oi me urana Army, let me begin by saying that never In tne History or tne order in tnis state has an inspector held office who gave more attention to his duties, or was of more assistance to tne department tnan Comrade Thomas F. Maloney, inspector on my staff. With an eye single to the welfare or the order, and witn but one desire, and that the good of the Grand Army, fully in accoid with all in authority iu all the work, and especially in uniformity of wOrk in the order, he bent all his energies to carry out the plans. His success has been the success of the department. His work is worthy the highest commendation." Commander Curtin continues: "We have now 508 Posts, but with very few exceptions in good condition, a net gain of thirty six Posts during the year.

Owing to work stopping and comrades seeking homes elsewhere one Post disbanded, the number was taken at once by a new Post' organized about that time. There are 35,607 members in good standing, a gain of 909. We should have bad more, but the various causes enumer ated have served to make our net gain much less than it should have been. We have lost from another cause, one to which no remedy can be applied the vacancies caused by death are increasing rapidly and this year 897 more graves will be covered with flowers and wreaths, and be dewed by our tears than last year, and standing at those mounds we will each ask ourself this question, who next will take his place in tne line ot Honored graves Tne snowing tor tne yeans excellent. The Posts from moneys raised by them, have expended for that charity, so much needed by our comrades, and given in such an unostentatious manner more than $65,000 00.

There has been much given in other ways, having no pecuniary value, but adding largely to the amount of good work done." Department Inspector Thos. F. Ma loney in his report says that of 600 Posts 488 were inspected in the fall of 1885. Capt. Maloney says: '1 would call attention to the wearing in public of the Grand Army badge.

While general orders define when and where it may be worn, a certain element ia the G.A. R. appears to make that honored emblem its whole stock in trade, and flaunt it in public in and out of season. This use, or, rather, misuse ot the ge, deters many good and true men from joining our ranks. The badge is also sometimes worn in public by dropped and expelled members.

The proper authorities should take suitable measures to remedy these abuses. "Many Posts have been affected disss trously by the hard times and low wages prevailing at the industrial centres. Comrades have become scattered, or the pressure of circumstances has compelled them to neglect tho payment of dues, and while some Posts have notably increased in membership a comparison of the spring and fall inspection reports show that others have fallen off. "I would recommend the strengthening of old Posts, rather than the formation of new ones with small scattered memberships, in sparsely settled districts. Being away from the highways of travel, these are scarcely ever cheered by the presence ofvisitors, and the members become lax and careless in their work of attendance.

The presence of department officers is very encouraging to such Posts, and if 'arrange ments could be completed by which every Post in the department would receive annual visits from aids, and other department officers, besides the visits of inspectors, great good would result. "I would recommend the compilation and adoption of a Manual of Tactics, containing a few simple single rank, line and column formations, the latter by twos, fours, eights and sixteens, for the use of the Grand Army. Only a few simple movements are required, and the open single rank formation is far preferable to the cumbrous double rank; besides which most of us have lost the spring and elasticity cf step that enabled us to keep closed up to facing distance." Still In the Sheriff charge. Recently Messrs. Wiestling and M'Car rell, attorneys for J.

X. Giering in the celebrated libel suit, had a writ of attachment issued on goods belonging to Giering stored at the depot and in the hands of Mr. Moesline. Subsequently on behalf of Giering a motion was made to set aside the writ on the ground that the sheriffs return was not made in pursuance of law. The court has declined to set aside the service of the writ.

Death of Mrs. Glassmyer. Mrs. Glassmyer, from whom a 52 pound ovarion tumor was removed at the hospital on Sunday, died at the hospital last night, and her remains will be removed to her late residence, New Fifth street above Maclay. Rev.

Studebafeer'a Lecture. In Rev. A. H. Studebaker's forthcoming lecture on "London," he will show a picture of a London mob in Trafalgar Square, one similar to that which terrorized London on Monday.

Sent to tne House of Refuse. Norraan Bowman, aged 13 years, son ot B. S. Bowman, of Millersburg, was today ordered to be sect to the House of Refuge. The lad is described by his father as a "noted liar and sneak thief." THE DEAD SOLDIER.

AFTER LIFE'S FITFUL FEVER he SLEEPS WELL. Particulars of His Last Illneai and Death The Sad Newa at Washington and Elsewhere Tne President Letter or Condolence A Quiet and Non Military Funeral Decided On. The news of the death of General Wia field Scott Hancock, which as our late dispatches of yesterday announced occurred at a little before 3 o'clock yester day afternoon, at his residence on Governor's Island, New York, was all the more startling from the fact that few even of his intimate friends had any knowledge that his illness was considered to be serious. The cause of death was diabetes, aggravated by carbuncle. Ho had heen ill onlv a week and it was not until Mondav that a fatal termination of his illness was apprehended.

On Wed nesdav. January 27th, General itancocK, attended by Lieutenant Dapray, went to Washington on private business and put up at wormiey s. un iiiursuav, me 28th. he called uoon President Cleveland and then upon the Secretary of War and on Lieutenant General Sheridan. All that day he complained to Mr.

Dapray of a boil on the back of his neck. On Fri day it troubled him so much that he went to the United States army dispensary, where Surgeon O'Reilly lanced the boil and greatly relieved him. Wnile on tne way to me sauun, on that dav. to take the train for New York, General Hancock learned that President Cleveland was to hold a reception in the afternoon. He then expressed regret that he had not known the fact sooner, aa he felt so much better that he would have attended the reception.

The Suffering Soldier Again at Home. General Hancock reached Governor's Taland at 5:30 o'clock that evening. On Tuesday last the boil developed into carbuncle and for two days General Hancock was quite ill. On Thursday his symptoms became favorable and on ri dav he was at his office attending to official business. On Saturday, although he refrained from going to his office, he insisted UDon giving attention at his house to the official matters of any importance.

Although down stairs for a few minutes on Sunday morning he remained in his room the rest of the day. During the nieht he alarmed Mrs. Hancock by sud denly aDDearing in her room; to which she had retired but a few minutes before He was fully dressed and equipped tor a journey and asked where his traveling bag was. He was delirious. Alarming Complications Manifested.

Kidnev troubles, which had not been suspected, showed themselves on Monday and Dr. Janeway, attending surgeon at division headquarters, called in Colonel Sutherland, medical director of the division of the Atlantic. They decided that the condition of their patient was se a ST TT 1 it A nous and warned juts. nancotK mai death might be near at hand. On Monday night, however, the General seemed verv comfortable, and Dr.

Janeway left him in charge of Hospital Steward Rob inson and his orderly, Ward. Tho Wife's Keen Eyes Note the Change. Mis. Hancock was in and out of the room during the night and about 4 o'clock yesterday morning noticed a change in the General condition, one at one sent for Dr. Janeway, who found the General almost comatose.

He sent for Colonel Sutherland, and for Dr. Daniel M. Stinsoa, of New York city, and at once gave nvpodermic injections oi brandy, whisky, ether and carbonate of ammonia, separately ano comoinea, ior the purpose of restoring the sutrerer strength. The General's Last Words to His Wife. Mrs.

Hancock was terribly unstrung by the sudden change in her husband's condition and could not remain in the room. As she left the bedside General Hancock awoke for an instant. 'Ob, Allie Myra," he said, in a weak voice. "Good He could say nothing more, and re lapsed into the state from which he had for a moment emerged. Ills condition Pronounced Hopeless.

Dr. Stinson reached Governor's Island shortly after 9 clock and the three doc tors held a consultation. It was then learned definitely that the General suf fered from diabetes, lhe depravity ot the blood caused by this disease had developed the boil into the carbuncle from which the General suffered. The combined forces of the two diseases, the doctors decided, had so weakened the patient that his case was hopeless. General James B.

Fry, an old mend ot General Hancock's, came to Governor's Island in the morning and was admitted to the sick room. The General was then in the comatose state in which he had re mained since his attempt to speak to Mrs. Hancock. Dr. Btinson returned to the city at 1 o'clock, the other physicians re maining, simply waiting lor the end, which they were powerless to put off.

Dr. Janeway was in attendance upon Mrs. Hancock, who needed his presence more than her dying husband. An Easy and Ojniet Death. General Hancock did not speak again or even move.

At p. m. he simpiv ceased to breathe, dying, as Dr. Janeway 1 1 in i a saiu, quieuy, iiK.e a man wuu juhu uuue his work, and as easily as a going down a flight of stairs." At the time General Fry sat in a chair between the General's bedside and the west window of the room. Around the bed stood Lieutenant Eugene Griffin, aide de camp and nephew by marriage to the General; Colonel Sutherland, Hospital Steward Robinson and Orderly Ward.

In the ad joining room were Mrs. Hancock, her cousin, jurs. Jmma tsouvier; ner nepnew, Mr. Griffin; her grandson, Gwynne Hancock, son of the General's only son, Rus sell, and Dr. Janeway.

The news of her husband's death was at once broken to Mrs. Hancock. She remained in her room all the rest of the day, constantly attended by her family and by Dr. Jane way. The General leaves his widow and three grandchildren two girls and one boy named Maria, Ada and uwvnne, issue of the General's ton Russell, who died on December 26tb, 1884, and whose loss the General has ever since mourned.

The Place Where Death Overtook the Soldier. General Hancock died in a plainly fur nished room on the southwest corner of the second floor of his house The face of the dead soldier was calm and peaceful. His body, however, was much wasted by his short though sharp sickness. Had he lived until St. Valentine's Day he would have been sixty two years of age, and under exit ting law he would have retired from active service upon the same date in 1888.

General Hancock leaves no property, real or personal, of any great intrinsic value, having always li.ed generously and spent his anuuul pay of $7,500 as a Major General. It is supposed, indeed, that his wife's estate has become so reduced that it will amount to comparatively little. Messages ot Condolence. The sad and surprising news of General Hancock's death had been flashed abroad by wire but a little while when messages of condolence began coming to Governor's Island, the headquarters of the Department of the Atlant ic. Among the first to arrive were the following Washington, Feb.

9. Mrs. General Hancock: I have this moment heard of the death of General Hancock, and wish to express to you, my dear madam, my deep sympathy and condolence. The armv has lost a verv distinguished and faithful officer, and the country one of its best citizens, tr. dhebibah.

Home. The news of General Hancock's death was received at Norristown, wit: Drofound soirow and regret. Urowds neonle surrounded the bulletin board this afternoon, and it was only after cor. roborative reports had been received thai the reported death ot the General was believed. Scores ot people reside in Norristown who were the GenV eral's schoolmates at the old academy; under the tutorship of Eliphalet Roberts, and at the school taught by the eloquent Rev.

Samuel Aaron. A consultation between intimate friends of the General last evening resulted in the determination to hold a public meeting at the court house this afternoon at 4 o'clock. It will be presided over by B. E. Chain and the resolutions will be prepared by Judge Boyer.

cere Regret at Cincinnati Action the Loyal Legion, A Cincinnati dispatch says: The news of the death of General Hancock fell with peculiar sadness upon the ears of members of the Ohio Commandery of the Loyal Legion, whose annual dinner was set for to night. General Hancock was the head of the order in the United States. Upon the arrival of ex President Hayes last night, who is commander of the Ohio Commandery, a meeting of the officers and councils of administration was held to decide upou a course of action. Subsequently an informal meeting of the commandery was held, at which Commander Hayes announced the death ol the head of the ordt and after a few words of eulogy stated that the officers had agreed that in view cf this great bereavement all of the proposed festivities of to night should be abandoned, but that the companions should meet and hear the addresses that have been prepared with others pertain ing to the memorial occasion. There will be a supper but no wines or liquora General Hayes last night sent the following telegram: "Mrs.

Winfield S. Hancock, Governor's Island, N. The sad intellf gence of the death of your noble husband fills with grief the companions of the Ohio Commandery of the Loyal Legion, now assembled here. We tender you our heartfelt sympathy in your bereavement. R.

B. Hates, Commander. Fully 300 companions and 150 ladies will be in Cincinnati to night. General Sherman, General Horatio C. King, General Lsw Wallace, General H.

C. Gros venor, General William E. Strong, General Lucius A. Fairchild, Governor Fora ker, Lieutenant Governor Kennedy and General William T. Clark are among the gentlemen who will make addresses.

Great Grief Expressed In Philadelphia. The Union League of Philadelphia placed its flag at half mast immediately on receipt of the news of the General's death, and the board of directors adopted resolutions expressive of the sorrow of the organization at the sad news. The League will be draped in mourning. Mayor Smith issued a proclamation ordering that the flags upon the public buildings be placed at half mast until after the funeral and requesting all clti zens to display such evidences ot their respect as may seem appropriate. He also called a meeting of councils on Thursday, to take such action as may be considered appropriate in expressing the sentiment of the citizens of Philadelphia in reference to the sad event.

THE LAST SAD RITES. Mrs. Hancock Desires a Simple Fnnera and No Military Display. Mrs. Hancock was too much overcome by her husband's death to make any arrangements for the funeral.

She informed General Whipple, however, that she desired simple ceremonies and no military display. The interment will be at Norristown, where much of General Hancock's boyhood was passed and where his daughter Ada, who died nine years ago, is buried. General Hancock's remains will be laid beside those of his father. General Hancock built a handsome vault in Norristown cemetery several years ago. His son, Russell Hancock, is buried in Bellefon talne cemetery, St.

Louis. General Whipple said that the funeral, in deference to the widow's wishes, would be expedited as much as propriety would allow. Probably only six or eight officers of General Hancock's staff and perhaps ten soldiers would accompany tbo remains to JN orris town. Major William Hancock Clark, Mrs. Hancock's cousin, said that there would be a funeral service at Governor's Island on Thursday or Friday in the little chapel.

It will be conducted by the post cnapiain, ine Jtev. Edward 11. u. Good win. The remains will then be taken without display to Norristown.

The complete arrangements for the funeral will be announced some time to day. It has been decided that there shall be no autopsy. The hopsital steward has cnarge ot tne remains, where they lie In the family room on the second floor. Near the General's bed where he died were scattered many children's toys In the disorder ef childish desertion. A curious coincidence remarked by one oi tne omcers at Governor island yes terday is that the prescribed term of mourning for General Grant ordered in the army expired yesterday.

He died six months ago. THE GENERAL'S SUCCESSOR. Llent. Gen. 8heridan Assnmre Command of the Department.

General i'lm bhendan as sumes command of the Division of the Atlantic Brevet Malor General WhiD pie, assistant adjutant general and rank ing officer of the division, is holding temporary command until the shall assign some major general to the post. General Hancock was the senior major general, the others in order being Generals Bcnoneld and Pope. General Pope will be retired in a month. Gen eral Schofleld may prefer to re tain hi3 present command, the Military Division of the Missouri. General O.

O. Howard is the 'senior briga dier general and first in the line of pro motion. Jiut the rivalry lies among Generals Terry, Miles and Crook. General Crook's long and valuable services among the Indians and the high estima tion in which be is held by the lieuten ant general commanding the army makes mm a prominent candidate. General Miles and General Terry are formidable opponents.

Among the colonels most likely to be promoted perhaps General Wesley Merrut. the superintendent of the Military Academy at West Point, stands first. READING'S REORGANIZATION. Plana of the Syndicate and Trnateoa Nearly. xaenticai.

It is pretty well understood that the plan of the syndicate which has arranged to reorganize the Reading railroad company is substantially that of the reorgani zation trustees, his provides that the gen eral mortgage bondholders shall receive a $1,000 4 per cent, bond and $520 in first preferred stock for each CI, 000 bond now outstanding; the income mortgage, ad justment scrip and first series 5 per cent. bond shall be assessed 10 per cent, for which nrst preferred stock will be given, and the principal is to be converted into second preferred stock. and additional second preferred stock is to be given for overdue interest; the sec ond series 5's convertible and debenture bonds oi the railroad ana coal and iron company will be assessed 15 per cent, and will be given first preferred stock of other money paid in. and common stock for the bonds and interest; the stock will be assessed 20 per cent, for which first pre Icrred stock will be given, and common stock will be issued for the old shares: the deferred income bonds will be assessed 21 per cent, for which cohimon stock will be given. The bonded debt of the company will be $61, OUO.OUO, the first preferred stock 825.5U0, 000, the second preferred stock $20,500.

000 and the common stock about $60, 000, 000. The fixed charges will be about $7,300,000. It is estimated that about $12,000,000 will be received from assess ments. After the reorganization scheme is well under way and likely to prove successful the syndicate proposes to come to a definite understanding with the Pennsyl vania railroad in regard to the future of the coal trade. It is expected that all the leading coal roads will loin in an agree ment of some kind that will put an end to the demoralizing fluctuations in price that have marked the trade in recent years.

Tho only thing that can defeat the syndicate is the success of Mr. Gowen. His plan is to offer the general mortgage bondholders their principal and interest in cash or in a new 4 per cent, general mortgage bond. Neither the generals nor the junior securities were to be as sessed. It was learned yesterday on what seemed to be unquestionable authority that Mr.

Gowen bad received sub scriptions to his 41 per cent loan to the amount of $12,000,000. Mr. Gowen was not in Philadelphia yesterday and so the statement could not be verinea, but there seemed no room to doubt its re liability. Mr. Gowen proposes to raise only $22,000,000 outside of the $25,000, 000 necessary for the conversion of the general mortgage bonds.

Mr. Gowen, it is said, proposes to wait until the offer of the syndicate is made and each bondholder has had time to con sider how he would be affected by it Then Mr. Gowen will produce his plan, offer his loan to the security holders and the public, and if the responses are as the Reading managers expect the company will be reorganized without foreclosure "JAKE" SHARP IN A HOLE. Air. ConkllDgr Gels the Advantage of tbo Witness.

In the investigation in New York yes terday by the committee of the New York Senate which is trying to penetrate the mystery surrounding the granting of the franchise oi tne uroadway surface railroad, Jacob Sharp was closely ques tioned by Mr. uonRling as to the amount of bonds paid out tor work, rails, which showed that there were still 692 shares to be ac counted for. sit. bham could not ac count for them. Mr.

Conkling footed up all the sums Sharp said be bad expended for the cost of the Broadway road.
