CHICAGO, July >.
A number Of minor accidents occurred
OH account of the unusually active cele-
bration of the day. Among the saddest
was the death Of Captain William Ham,

careless handling of a pistol caused the

II seems to be conceded, according to
Eastern specials, that Tilden is arranging
to assume control of Hahcock's campaign,
a. he has experience and money, neither
of which Hancock can command from
other sources, In return for his
labors, Tilden is to be allowed to be the
power behind the throne, the President,
to all intents and purposes. This arrange
ment seems already to have disguised
Tammany, and particularly the Wallace
faction, in Pennsylvania, where Randall
will doubtless supercede Senator Wallace
in the management of campaign affairs,
which would by right come to Senator
Wallace, he having been the staunch
friend of Hancock from the beginning
The following is the Tribune's special:
A special to the Baltimore American has
the following: So far the press has re-
| Trained from attacking General Hancock,
but if I am not misinformed some facts
will be made public which will injure the
canvas OF the Democratic candidate for
the Presidency. Hancock, it is alleged,
was violent partisan of Mcclellan, and
when tho latter was relieved from the
command of the Army Of the Potomac a
council of war was held which included
Fitz.John Porter, Franklin, Hancock,
Badly Smith and q number of other Off
GERS of less note. 1t is said that at q
meeting General Hancock proposed that
the order for the removal of Mcclellan
be disregarded and the army march upon
Washington to depose Lincoln and Stan
ton. As this revolutionary programme
story goes it was seconded by Fitz-John
Porter and would have been adopted had
! Mcclellan had the nerve of his friend,
Hancock. 1t is matter of history that
there was great deal of indignation
expressed by McClellan's officers at his
removal and it is believed that this is all
unwritten chapter in which Hancock
figures, but not to his advantage. 1t is
stated that General Grant knew all about
this matter and that at the proper time
the whole story will be told to the aston
ished public.
At the Troy Mills, Iowa, ON Saturday,

batants were fatally injured and 25 Others
received painful wounds Physician:
