DOUBTS AT GOVERNORS ISLAND.
GENERAL HANCOCK INCLINED To THINK THE STORY
UNTRUE OR MUCH ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS KNOwL-
EDGE or THE OFFICERS AND INDIANS In THAT
PART OF THE COUNTRY.
General Hancock by TRIBUNE re-
porter last night on Governors Island. Being asked
his opinion of the authenticity of the report OF the
Apache massacre he replied saw no one re-
ferred to in the report who had seen the
massacre, and 1 should be inclined to doubt
ats accuracy until it was confirmed.

enough Indians there to overcome soldiers in a
general massacre and should, therefore, infer that
there must be- exaggcration the matter.

and they not the kind of men to be massacred in
those numbers without "A good deal of trouble"

year ago. when he was in perfect health don't
recoect the other officers, with the exception of Dr.
McCreery. He was stationed on Governors Island
about ten years ago, and was very highly esteemed
by all who knew him. He said to be one of the
brightest medical men in the pr fesson.
II doubt that III soldiers could be killed by any
number of Apaches that could be raised in any one
tribe in Arizona; The Indians there are not the
same those who massacred Custer, nr are there
so many in tribe: According to the papers there
are only about 400 Apaches in tribe. As to Lieu
tenaut Cruise being shot by a medicine man
whom he was trying to arrest. doubt very much
whether an officer would make anv such at
Hempt unless he was well prepared for it, as the
medicine man is a person of great influence in

course. the Indians are equipped with guns and at
times are formidable opponents"
McDowel only said that the reports of the
were rumored, aud that he would send troops if
necessary. Nobody had given an authoritative
statement of the massacre, and until that done
the General said he should be sceptical in regard to
the accuracy of the report.
Colonel Mitchell and Captain Horton also doubted
the authenticity of the report, it did not come
they said, from authoritative source Until such
q confirmation received they did care to ex-
press any opinions on the subject. First-Lieutenant
Ward said the news came from an untrustworthy
source, and in his opinion might be cOntIadcted to-
day. He acknowledges, however, that the news
came very direct from General McDowelPs head

The present Lacrosse Association was organized

Canghnawaga Indians were looked upon as the
champions but In the autumn of the latter year ihe

Toronto Club won IL from the Shamrocks in the au-
tumn of 1870, aud held n till june. 1877, when
back IN the spring of 1873, and held il TIL
the autumn of the same year. when

nenth OIL. Henry Hoppe.

Though expected for several days previous
by his intimate friends, yet the announcement
on Wednesday evening that Squire Hoppe
was dead, was a surprise to many. lbs death
closes busy and active life of nearly eighty
years. No man in the county was better
known, or stood higher as business man.
As a conveyancer he had few superlors.
Where he was so we'll known anything at our
hands might be. deemed Superfiuous. Mr..
Homes health had been failing for some
time past, and at the funeral of the late
David H. Shriver he was siezed with vertigo
and fell to the ground. Since that time he
seemed t. fail rapidly, though he still attend
ed to his business. We append the following
sketch
j. Henry Hoppe was born near Bowers
Church, now called Bachman's, in Bachman' S
Valley, February II, 1901. His father was
Ferdinand Frederick Hoppe and was born in
Stuttgardt, Germany. His. mother was Cath
arine Snouffer, of Frederick county. Mr..
Hoppe received a common school education,
after which he taught school for five years,
studying surveying in the meantime, IN which
he became very proficient. On attaining his
majority he united with the Democratic party
and always remained staunch follower OF
the principles of sold Hickory"
In 1926 he was appointed magistrate ana
with the exception of a few years ne held the
position until a year ago. He became so
thoroughly versed in testamentary law that
he was frequently appointed to settle the es-
tates of deceased persons, several OF which
were very large.
In 1912 he was elected sheriff Of this
county, at which time there were fifteen can
didates in the field he received 146 votes
more than Lewis Trumbo, wing, who was the
next highest The incidents of that campaign
he was fond Of repeating.
Mr.. Hoppe was charter member OF the
Western Maryland Railroad; was elected
secretary and treasurer and was also direc-
tor in the road, was for a number of years
director of the Union National Bank, this
city: and was also charter member of George
Washington Lodge A. f. A. NJ, of this city.
He was elected County Surveyor for four
consecutive times.
Mr.. Hoppe always resided in this county,
though the place Of his birth was then in Bal
timore county. In 1929 he was united in
marriage to Rachel Myerly, daughter Of Jacob
Myerly and Eve Bishop. They had onl y ore
child, Josephus H., who died December % :
1877. Squire Hoppe had been member OF
the Lutheran Church for over go years.
The funeral took place OF Friday morning,
at Grace Luthern Church, this city, Rev. IL.
w. Kuhns, officiating, The remains were
inferred at Krider's Church, near this city,
with Masonic honors.

Winfield Items.

Winfield, during the holidays, has been a
place of much Importance, and a place of
silence and good behaviour. Since we have
had local option in our midst, people have to
go some distance from the village to get the
staff fife, and it is not worth going after.
The funniest thing that has been in our
country for some time, was a slide load OF
lads and lasses. 1t seems as if they were
travelling around in search of bread and sau-
sage. Their wants were satisfied and then
the next thing some of them knew was, they
had got their slide fast, or rather tangled up
in our neighbours metallic clothes line.

Meeting of the County school Board


The School Board held the regular month
ly meeting on Monday last, with all the mem
beers present.
Several applications for appropriations to
make repairs, &c, to schoolhouses were post
poned for the want of funds for such purpo-
Ses.
In compliance with requests coming from
the location here referred to- the trustees and
teachers Of the schools, the districts of which
border on the line between Green Mount, IN
the third election district, on the one hand,
and Oak Grove, in the first district, On the
other, were advised to make such arrange
ments as will best accommodate the pupils IN
that vicinity, without very strict adherence
to district lines where they require modlhca-
tons, constituting the law literally and thereby
accommodating the pupils in the most salts
factory manner and justly to all as nearly as
possible.
The Secretaries of the School Board, having
been solicited by the officials of the Census
Department at Washington to aid in procuring
':Statistics of Education from the public
schools of Carroll county, were authorized
and requested to transmit to the teachers and
local school authorities the blanks with which
they have been supplied; and to direct said
teachers to cooperate in the Census work so
far as to properly fill up said blanks and dis
pose Of them according to instructions.
A committee having been appointed to APP
ply to the County Commissioners for funds to
enable the Treasurer to pay the teachers Tor
the Winter term service, reported that a
promise had been given that the necessary
funds will be provided in time to meet the
demands of the teachers when payments are
due.
Having considered the matter of the proper
time for closing the Winter term of school,
the Board directed that the teachers be mott
fed that the Winter term, consisting OF 40
school days, shall close on Monday, the 3lst
day of January that the teachers quarterly
reports, properly made up and qualified to,
shall be returned to their respective School
Commissioners, or to the Secretaries of the
School Board in the office, on or before Mon
day, the 18th day of February; and that the
County Teachers Association shall meet IN
Central Hall, in Westminster, at 10 o clock,
a. m, on Friday, the 18th day of February,
at which time, if not before, payment for the
| Winter term service will be made, provided
that the teachers shall promptly appear at the
meeting of the Association. Teachers failing
| to attend said Association may thereby forfeit
a proportionate part of their salaries, unless
! for sufficient cause their absence shall be eX-
cused.
In addition to other applicants now on file,
the Board recognized Miss Sadie A. V. knel'
Ter as a meritorious applicant for county
scholarship in w. NJ. College.
The Board adjourned, to meet on Monday.
the It'll day of February.
