Recent Sensational Reports AuthOrita-
lively COntradicted.
NEW YORK, Sept. PA couple of weeks
ago General Hancock suffered slight con-
tusiOns and was somewhat shaken up by
a fall on a small steamer which lurched in
a heavy wind and seas. Out of this cir
cumstance has grown various alarming re-
ports concerning the Generals condition.
To-day DIR. Robert Murray, Medical Di-
rector on General HancOck's staff, was
asked by an Associated Press reporter as
to the state of the Generals health. He
said that General Hancock was much bet
ter to-day, and that the surgeon attending
him says that there has been no injury to
his knee joint. An abscess is forming
above the knee, but no serious result is
apprehended. He added that General
Hancock might be said, in fact, to be
already cOnvalescent.

NEwsDEALERs FIGHT THE CUT
Possibility that Their Stand MAY
Restore the Old Rates.

NEW YORK, Sept. 27.-The newsdealers.
factor hitherto uncOnsulted in the war
OF rates among the local newspapers. are
beginning to move against the reduction
IN their profits. AS the quoted price of
the various papers has dropped, their
commissions have decreased. The deal
ers commission which. before the cpl
demic set in, ranged from one-half cent
to IL cents on each paper, now ranges
from one-third of a cent to l cent. The
most unsatisfactory feature of all is that
outside OF the city newsboys as well as
dealers insist on selling all the
papers at about the same prices
as before, and that neither
the newspaper prOprietOrs nor their pat
rons get the slightest advantage on ac-
count of the decrease. Last night the
east-side news dealers held an indigna-
ton meeting, and sixty of them signed "A
pledge to sell at eighteen to twenty cents
per week the papers that have made the
reduction. The west-side dealers meet
Tonight, and the strike against the re-
duced commissions bids fair to spread.
IL Is by no means impossible that this ac
ton of the middlemen may check the
Generalization in rates, and even bring
about a restoration of the old prices.

MURDER EXPOSED BY A DREAM
One of the Most Remarkable Cases on
RecOrd-TwO Independent witnesses.

HornetLsCille Special 20 N. y World, 25th.
The dead body of William Scott was
found lying along the track of the Erie
Railway mile this side of the Olean
depot about midnight on Tuesday
OF last week. There were bad
cuts about the head, back and
abdomen. A COrOner's jury returned a
verdict that Scott had been killed by the
cars. On Thursday word was received
from brother of the dead man that he
had dreamed on Tuesday night that mis-
brother was murdered in piece of woods
and robbed. When the dreamer awoke
he was so nervous that he was unable to
sleep again during the night. He aWoke
from his dream between II 80 O'Clock and
midnight.
On the same day a sister of Scotts. who
lives IN Rochester, sent word to a friend
in Olean that she had dream Tuesday
nlght, In winch she saw two men beat her
brother to death in the woods and take
money from his pockets. She awoke
screaming, Don't touch the money !
There is blood on i'll" She saws that she
was frightened so that she arose nom bed
and struck a light. A clock on the bureau
showed the time to be little past II 80.
These singular declarations led to bring
ing 70 light the fact that on the day of
William ScOtts death he had sold some
pVpeIby3 lOf Wnlcn he was paid 81 ,OOD.
In the afternoon he was seen in an 0ut-Of-
the-way saloon kept by q man named
OMara, in company with two strange
men. lie was intoxicated, and exhibited
large roll of money, and hoasted of the
bargain he had made in the sale. Between
and O'Clock be was.s 50 drunk that the
men carried him out to IA barn in the rear
of the saloon and left HIM there. About
II 80 O'Clock that night he was met by an
acquaintance on the road leading from
O'Mara's to the Erie depot, near niece
of woods: He was nat seen alive again.
There was no money in his clothes when
found, 1t is noted now there was no
blood on the rails or anywhere about the
track at the spot where he was found,
ana railroad men say that it would be
next to an impossibility for :, person 10
be hit by an engine OF run oyer there
without the fact keing discovered at once
either hY the engineer or fireman, The
belief is strong now that Scout was muir
dered and robbed and placed where he
was found to give the impression that he
had beenkilied by the cars.

Why We Are Bald.

/ was talking the other day with
Sauerwein, the eminent and learned hair
dresser of Regent street, and whilst he
trimmed my poll he said several things
worth knowing. Here they are: BALD
ness, when not the consequence of old
age, is disease, and it is a far more ter
rible enemy to overcome than white
hair. No healthy person should begin
to be bald till after fifty years of age.
and yet general lamentation arises of
losing their hair. Here, therefore, must
be some defect of constitution; some
disease of the hair, that should not exist.
Headaches, and indeed, almost every
kind of suffering. whether of the mind or
body, frequently cause the hair to fail.
Too much study or thought. or applica-
ton of any kind, will have similar
effect. Women are less subject to bald
ness than their brothers. Man works
more with his brains, generally speaking.
than women do. Hygenic precautions
may do much toward maintaining the
hair thick. l knew of a man who kept his
hair thick, almost black, by never wear
ing hat all his life. At eighty he mar
ried third wife, and had third family
of children. For twenty years ne never
drank anything but wine, without abus-
ing it. You must not expect, however,
that your hair will never fall, even in
health, nor need you be dismayed when
you see hair come off when brushing or
combing. Hair falls at certain seasons,
as dead leaves from trees, to make room
for new ones to grow. If, however, you
see too MANY como off. and the fall con-
tinues too long, then cut the hair as you
would faded plant /; it will grow
stronger. richer afterward. Frequent
washing in salt water is also recon-
mended to prevent the hair from falling.
and daily friction is good Paris
