IT is not likely that Gen. Hancock will

IT is not likely that Gen. Hancock will
resign from the army pending his elec-
tion to the presidency. There is no &C.
casion for him to resign. He need in
dulge in no conduct unbecOming All OIL
Ger of the army in his position as the
Democratic candidate for the presidency.
1t has not been the custom for any Off
GERS nominated for president to resign in
the political campaign. Taylor did not /;
neither did Scott nor Grant. There is
no more reason why Hancock should
quit his station and his duty than why
Garfield should resign his senatOrship.
1t has been suggested that rs Hayes is
commander-in-chiefO of the federal army
and as the Cincinnati platform ex"crate'
his administration for its reward of the
villains who seated it, Hancock cannot
run on that platform without showing
disrespect to his superior officer.
If his resignation is expected on thai
ground. let it be asked for on thai
ground,
General Hancock may resign if he see'
fit, but there is nothing indelicate NJ
improper in his retaining his position
until he is required to quit Governor
Island for the White House.

a gallant soldier of the Union armies, re-

WITH reference to the reports that this
person or that wrote this or that of his
orders respecting the supremacy of the
civil over the military in times of peace,
Gen. Hancock says: MY order on re-
construction i'm the Louisiana district was
written by me and nobody else. l am
opposed to getting into a controversy at
any time, but 1 daresay the time will
come when, not only in justice to my
self but to the general public, l shall
have to set matters right, and all l will
say now is that it will be by no means a
difficult task, for 1 have all the data
ready" The more we see and hear of
our candidate the more he commends
himself not only to the enthusiastic sup
port of his own party, but to the consid-
Grafton of fair-minded men. He is no
drum. He is man of solid sense. lie
has head of his own. He will be presi-
dent and will have the sagacity to call
around him cabinet counsellOrs who will
make his administration just what is
wanted to usher i'm the era of RestOra-
tion in these once more United States.

Eberly is nominated for Legislature, i'll
stead of A. W. Snadcr, and that Adam
J. Eberly, esq, is nominated for district
attorney, instead of Thomas J. Davis.
esl. These conclusions are reached, in
the first instance, by rejecting the entire
vote of the Third ward of Columbia,
which nOminates Pierson NJ. Eberly by
majority of 6 votes. The conclusion in
regard to district attorney is reached by
throwing out the entire vote Of the Third
ward of Columbia and the Third ward Of
Lancaster city, and the admission OF
the Eighth ward Of Lancaster city, re-
jected by the board Of return judges. This
figuring gives Adam J. Eberly Il majority
of II votes. No doubt the meetin. of the
board of return judges will be u lively one.

This morning Emanuel Stone had Occa-

street. When he returned he found
two boys in the store. One Of them was
behind the counter at the money drawer,
and the other, who was standing outside Of
the counter, upon seeing Mr.. Stone quickly
fled, but the other was captured and hand
ed over to Officer Titus. lie gave his name
as Robert COchenour and was taken to the
station house. Some money was taken
from the drawer and $3.50 was found on
young COchenOur. He first told the officer
that his mother gave him the money to
buy shirts and afterwards said that he
earned it carrying baggage. A 25-cent
piece found ON him is believed to have
been in Mr.. Stones drawer. Tho captured
boy says he stole nothing.

he and his wife would he home by noon
Their nOn-arrival at that hour caused nc
uneasiness, as it was supposed that Mr.
Schum had concluded to wait until even
ing on account of the extreme heat of the
weather. Even to the time that an INTEL
LIGENCER reporter informed Mr.. John E.
Schum of the accident, and intimated tha,
there was report that the victims might
be his father and mother, the news re-
ceived but little credence, as it was moi
thought likely that they cOuld be in the
neighborhood of Salunga at the time of the
accident.
1t is now thought that after having called
upon the sick woman in Mannheim, whom
they had started out to visit, Mr.. and Mrs.
Schum resolved to drive up to Marietta
and see Miss Koch, daughter of Mrs.
Scllum by a former husband, and met
their fate at the Salunga crossing, rs has
been already stated. This is the more
likely, as it is just a gear today since Mr..
and Mrs Schum were married, and it is
probable they intended to celebrate the
event by bringing the daughter along with
them to Lancaster.
Was the Engine Boil Rung:
1t is reported that when Mr. and Mrs.
Schum reached the dollhouse on the pike
near Salunga, they stopped and asked the
road to Marietta. They were directed to
cross the railroad. Mrs. Schum asked if
there would be any danger from the cars,
and the unhappy couple then drove on.
It is further reported that the officers of
the train which struck them neither rang
the bell nor blew the whistle until the
train was SO near the. crossing that the
collision could not be avoided. How

The funeral of Mr.. and Mrs. Schum Will
take place on Monday afternoon and in

curious coincidence that when his first
wife died there was also double funeral

daughter, Mrs. Charles F. Holtzworth,
having died the day following Mrs.
Schum's death, and the two being buried
together.
