The Rumor About Gen. Hancock.

Washington Special to Chicago Inter-Ocean.
The rumor current Yesterday that the demo-
cratic leaders were considering the feasibility
of nominating Gen. Hancock for governor OF
Pennsylvania is considered to have more foun-
dation than was believed at first. A shrewd
politician from the interior of the state says
that Judge Black wants his son Chauncey to
be lieutenant governor, and he thinks there is
no chance for election with any other candi-
date than Honcock. 1t is understood that the
democrats are holding out to Hancock the
idea that if he was elected governor of Penn
sylvania it would be sure stepping-stone to
the presidency in 1884. If the programme
should be carried out, and Hancock succeed
to the presidency, then the younger Black
would be governor of Pennsylvania for two
years, which is the object of the elder Blacks
ambition. 1t is not reported how Gen. Han.
cock regards the proposition.
DR. John Franklin Gray, the first physician
in America who adopted the medical system
Of Hahnemann. died at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel in New York city, on the 5th inst. DR..
ries through Hans B. Gram, Danish doctor,
who was born in Boston of Danish parents
and educated in Denmark. He heard DR..
Gram lecture, but was not convinced. He
then reluctantly consented to let DR.. Gram
treat one of his patients, whose case had re-
sisted his own skill. DR.. Gram had remark
able success, not only with that patient, but
with others, and DR.. Gray was converted to
homeopathy. In 1894 he, together with his
brother-in-law, DR. Hull, had started the first
homeopathic journal, the Homeopathic Exam
liner, to which DIR. Gray contributed many
articles.
A Paris correspondent says: All fashion
able and financial Paris was at the wedding of
Mile. Lucie D. Rothschild and M. Lambert
Mile. Lucie is an amiable young lady of IS.
Her husband is barely Fl. Over 5000 invita-
tons were issued for the ceremony, but good
half of the guests were left outside of the tab
ernacle for want of room. Among those who
were able to get in might have been noticed
the Due d. Aumale, the Due de Nemours, and
a host of litery and artistic lions. The bride
brings her husband snug little dowry of
81, 900, 900, but it must not be imagined that
he will be allowed to make ducks and brakes
OF it. The whole sum is to be invested in the
Rothschilds' bank, and Mr.. Lambert will only
get the interest on it.

A Crooked Butcher.

A Fort Pickering dairyman had
COW snatChed right from under his
nose this morning. Mr.. George Dorian
had MIXED all but one o. his COWS,
but could not find that one anywhere.
She had disappeared as suddenly as if
the earth had opened and swallowed
her. Unlike most men, who wait two
or three days for something to turn
up, he got on his horse at once and
started on the trail. Half an hour
later he found the smoking carcass
of his lost COW at the slaugh-
ter pen of Frank Talbert, a
mulatto butcher on the Raleigh road,
near the Leath orphan asylum. Dep
uty Sheriff McMahon was at once
summoned and arrested Talbert, who
offered the deputy hundred dollars
to let him go. He is now in Jail.
Dorion was entirely too quick for him,
and the proofs conclusive. He did
not have time to destroy the head and
other marks before the owner of the
COW swoOped down upon him. Tai
bert has long been suspected by the
police, but he has always managed to
cover up all signs of his guilt.
