THE SEED OF sEOITION.
Citizens OF the Coke Region Fear a
Reign of Terror.

CoNNELLsvILLE, Pa, Feb. 9.-Sheriff
Sterling is here to-day swearing in 100 men
to act as deputies for the purpose of arrest
ing all of those who were engaged in the
depredatioDs at Bradford yesterday. The
crowd that visited Jimtown from the Scott
dale meeting last evening to force the men
there 10 join them, were successful. This
morning nOtsa man was at work and the
ovens were closed down. The strike has
assumed more serious aspect, in view of
the exciting occurrences OF yesterday. and
grave fears are entertained that a reign of
terror is not improbable, and that IL may
excel the Hooking valley troubles.
Last night, Frank Gardner, a deputy
sheriff, was caught by small delegation of
strikers near Mt. Pleasant and severely
beaten but not fatally injured. The burn
ing OF the engine house and tipples at the
Henry Clay works yesterday has disabled
the bodies used for furnishing steam for
pumping the engines. If the Baltimore &;
steam the pits will be flooded. The strikers
are 1ubilant over the events of the past
twenty-four hours, but are not disposed to
commit any further lawlessneSs. 4 men,

The plan now is to put negroes in the place

The Will OF 1881 Good.

CHICAGO, Feb. 9.-Judge Rogers. in the
circuit court this morning. decided that the
will executed by Wilbur F. Storey, late
owner of the Chicago Times. in February,
1881, was valid, and directed that it be adj
mitted TO probate. The matter was heard
on an appeal from the probate court. The
will was contested by the blood heirs on the
grounds of testamentary capacity, undue
influence, and that the instrument was not
properly witnessed. The court held that
the testator was Of sound mind before and
after the will was drawn. that there was no
evidence of improper influence and that the
will was legally attested. The will leaves
the newspaper and the largest portion of
the estate to his widow, Eureka c. Storey.
The counsel for the blood heirs gave notice
of an appeal.

THE CHARACTERISTICS
of the dead general, he said that he was
loved by the men under his command for
his frank and magnanimous disposition
and he was admired for his great bravery
in the battle field. Said he: during
the Mexican war the idea be-
came prevalent among young
officers that If they volunteered for any
special service death was sure to follow.
Hancock, with other officers. resolved never
TO volunteer for any service whatever. A
storming party was wanted at Moline del
Rey and Gen. Hancock was asked IL he
would volunteer; he declined, but on being
told that it was his detail, he said he would
volunteer then. and he did so and was
severely wounded. and was given breyet
for his bravery. He was by no means a
brilliant man, but he was fine soldier.
In 1s49 he married Miss Alice Russell
Of st. Louis and the wedding was one Of
the greatest events that ever stirred the So
cial circles of that city. Miss Russell was
an acknowledged belle, and her father be-
ing immensely wealthy he spared no money
to add effect to the wedding and partitions
were torn out OF thA family mansion TO
make room for the guests. The bride wore
dress made of spun glass and ii was the
talk of the newspapers and people for
monthsD

THE FUNERAL,
it is expected, will take place at Norris
town. Pa, where the generals body will be
buried by the side of his daughter, Ada,
who died in 1877. The Tribune says:
Gen. Hancock's body will be taken to ST.
Louis for burial, and there placed in the
family mausolem. He does not leave large
estate. He owned property in and ABOUT ot;

OPPOSES A MILITALY FUNERAL.
so far as could be learned, no definite ar
rangements for the funeral had been agreed
on up to a late hour tonight. 1t was
stated by one of the staff officers that Mrs.
Hancock had expressed herself as being OPP
posed to military funeral; that 1t was her
desire that the funeral arrangements be as
simple and unostentatlous as possible. 1T
is also said that Mrs. Hancock is opposed
TO having the body embalmed and to its
lying in state. In conversation with one OF
the officers tonight, that gentleman stated
that in all probability only the i'm
mediate relatives and most intimate friends
would be invited to attend the OBJ
sequies and that only eight or ten
officers of his immediate staff and small
detachment of soldiers would accompany
the remains to the grave. Throughout THIS
city tonight, wherever people were
grouped, the fact of Gen. Hancocks death
was a subject of comment, and its an
nouncement where not known challenge
to surprise. The death, though occurring
late, was announced in some OF the evening
papers, and thus the masses were made
aware of the fact, while at clubs and hotels
the tape bore some meagre details that
served for the text of comment anecdote
and Renaissance. The little steam cutter
belonging to the government, and which
plies between the Battery wall and Govern
Or's island, was kept very busy during this
evening. Many military men visited Gov
errors island to tender their services to the
officers stationed there or to offer condo
lence to the bereaved family.

SEATTLE STILL EXCITED.
No Conflict, but the Bitterness
Hourly Increasing.

SEATTLE. w. T.. Feb. 9.-Another day
of gloom and anxiety has ended without
material change in the situation. Although
the grestest apprehensions have been felt
throughout the day no collision has taken
place. The militia still hold the city, and
strict martial law is enforced. The streets
have been thronged all day, the city being
filed with strangers. a feeling
of the most intense bitterness
prevails on all sides and the situation
couldn't well be more grave. The gov
ernOrs first call TO the president for troops
was made Sunday. and it was expected
that an answer would be prompt 1t was
understood that troops from Vancouver
would arrive this morning. but it appears
that they have not yet received orders, and
have not left Vancouver. The militia hav e
been on duty continuously since Sunday
morning, and are
UTTERLY WORN OUT.
No words can express the anxiety of the
citizens for the presence of federal troops
Appeal after appeal had been sent to the
president and many senators, and other
prominent men have been telegraphed
urging them to take action. The Chinese
question does not now seem to
tignre, but has been lost sight
OF in the bitterness engendered by
yesterdays conflict While there is no
doubt that the home guards were attacked
before firing, and that they acted in self
defense, the bitterest imprecations are
heard against them. The authorities are
determined and ready for any emergency.
Citizens are generally responding to the call
for volunteers. The cadet corps OF the ter
ritorial university was sworn into the
service OF the territory this evening
and are now quartered with the
militia This afternoon the authorities
took charge of all the firearms and ammu-
milton to be found in the city and removed
them to the court house. This was done to
preclude any attempt TO seize them.
Charles Stewart. one of the men injured
In yesterdays conflict, died to-day. His
death has the effect of increasing the bitter
feeling. There is talk of making his
funeral the occasion Of a grand demonstra-
ton.

MOUNT PLEASANT. Pa, Feb. 9.-The
incendiarism and rioting yesterday had a
depressing influence on the men at the Alice
works, which is the only plant north of
Scottdale making any attempt to run.
Many of the men refused To work and this
afternoon one OF them, John Herbert by
name, brought suit against John NJ. White,
superintendent, for trying to force him 20

the men were resting from their labors the

CHICAGO Feb. 9.-Gen. John NJ. Scho-

he may be. His disposition viii be en-
tirely at the discretion of the president. as
Will also be the appointments of major gen.
eral TO fill the vacancy caused by the death
of Gen. Hancock. Another vacancy will
also occur soon when Gen. Pope will go on
the retired list. The president may fill
the vacancies by the appointment OF
any officer whose rank is as high
as that Of a colonelcy, but it is
likely that he will select for appointment
two of the six brigadier-generals. They
rank as follows: Howard, Terry, Stanley,
Miles and Gibson. The above was given
as his opinion by Gen. Schofeld 70 re-
porter of the GLOBE. who called on him at
his residence on Michigan avenue, shortly
after the intelligence of the death of Gen.
Hancock had been received. Referring 10
his personal relations with
THE DECEASED GENERAL,
Gen. Schofeld said: My knowledge of
Gen. Hancock, much regret TO say. was
about that of what the public already has
of him prior TO the close of the
civil war. He was about eight
years my senior, and our duties have not
brought us together upon the field. and l
therefore did not meet him personally until
after the end OF the rebellion. Since then
our relations have been intimate. and his
death is the loss TO me of a dear and trusted
friend. am sorry am so I'M
fortunate as TO be unable to relate some
personally-known incidents which would
serve to illustrate his character, but can
say it was of the very highest degree of
purity, while he possessed a magnetism
which attracted towards him those whom
he met in private life. even more
than his magnificent appearance excited the
admiration of those who saw him i'm public
life, were such thing possible. AS sol
dier, perhaps the term brilliant might best
describe him. His courage was illimitable
and of kind that gave him a perfect tran
guilty of nerves in times of the greatest
danger. AS corps commander 1 doubt

SORROW AT ST. LOUIS.
Sadness at the Generals Former
Home.


Special to the Globe.
ST. LOUIS, No., Feb. 9.-The death of
Gen. Hancock causes much sorrow here,
where he was married, where his children
are buried and where he passed large por-
ton of his life just before the war. He
was stationed at Jefferson barracks, just be-
low the city, several years. and after his
marriage lived on plantation few. miles
from the barracks, and within short dis
lance of Carondolet, now part of the city.
Gen. Hancock retained possession of the
farm up to few weeks ago, when he solo
it to the German Singing Turner and Shoot
ing societies of st. Louis. who are now
transforming it into beautiful park for
their summer pienics, athletic sports and
shooting tournaments. The marriage of
Gen. Hancock to Miss Russell, who is now
his widow, was grand society event, and
attended by the elite of the city. The Rus
sell mansion was torn down few years ago
TO make room for business block. 1t stood
on South Twentieth street, near Myrtle. on
the same street with and only three blocks
from the Dent mansion, where Gen. Grant
was married. The remains of Russell Ham
cock, their son, who died i'm Mississippi
about year ago, was brought home for
burial and that was the last time the general

WHAT GEN. JOHNSON SAYS.
Effect of HancOck,s DeaIh--Pertf-
nent "Reminiscences.

Gen. r. w. johnson was seen by GLOBE
reporter last night at his residence, $40
Laurel avenue. In regard to the effect of
the death of Gen Hancock on the depart
ment of Dakota with headquarters at Fort
Smelling, he said Gen. Terry would be pro-
NOTED and would either succeed Gen. Scho-
field at Chicago or Gen. Pope, who retires
next month. at San Francisco. 1t seems to
be settled fact that Gen. Terry, who has
been stationed here since Gen. Hancock's
promotion in 1872 win leave. and it is more
than probable that Brig. Gen. Gibbon. who
is now located at Fort Vancouver, Or, in
the department of Columbia, will be sent
here to succeed Gen. Terry. in this
event." said Gen. johnson, II would not
be surprised If army headquarters were
brought to st. Paul instead of remaining at
Fort Smelling, where they were taken by
Gen. Terry. An appointee is given the
right of choice of his location.

Discussing Terry,s Promotion.

A gentleman formerly in the army, who
Is now in the city, states that the death OF
Gen. Hancock will give Gen. Terry an OBJ
portunity for promotion to a major general
ship. The president, however. he said,
has the authority to pass over those next In
authority and appoint whom he thought to
be the fittiest. If Gen. Terry would be APP
pointed he would remove to the division
assigned, of which there are three with
headquarters at Chicago, San Francisco and
New York. He thought that as Gen.
Terry's record in regard to the reinstate-
ment of Gen. Pope was acceptable, be
stood good chance for promotion with g
Democratic administration.
