ssThe Generals Wife Is New the GEN.


"Grant and Hancock. although able
to command and hold in absolute obe-
dience hundreds of thousands of men,
took back seats when they were at
home. Perhaps you do not know how
the unfriendly feeling arose between
Grant and Hancock. 1t is most in
teresting story, and extends back be-
fore the war, when Grant and Hancock
were both young men. Both were sta
toned at st. Louis at the time refer
to, and neither of them had been mar
ried q great while. Mrs. Hancock came
from Southern family. Her feelings
were all that way, while Mrs. Grant,
on the other hand, was intensely North
ern. At that time the Hancocks moved
in little better circles than the Grants.
There never was any good feeling be-
tween them, and Mrs. Hancock snubbed
Mrs. Grant, fact which Mrs. Grant
never forgave. After the war Grant
came to Washington with his family to
establish his headquarters there. They
went to Wizards Hotel, but the bills
were too high for the Generals purse,
SO he told his wife that he would like
to go to housekeeping, and asked her
at the same time to select a proper resi-
dence. Mrs. Grant went out and finally
decided that Gen. Hancock and Mrs.
Hancock were occupying the house
which she would like. She went home
and told her husband and he made
out the necessary order. You see Grant
outranked Hancock and was entitled to
the house according to precedent and
established usage. Mrs. Hancock, how
ever, was not to be outdone by Mrs.
Grant, so she persuaded her husband
to write sharp note to the General.
Then came Mrs. Grants turn. She
made up her mind to have that house
or die, although there were thousand
other houses just as good in the city,
so she influenced her husband to reply
in kind to Hancock. There was quite a
correspondence, but Grant, of course,
came out ahead and got the house. A
few days afterward Grant and Hancock
met in the street. Grant extended his
hand as though nothing had happened,
for he was not man to bear ill-will
against another for some petty, foolish
thing, but Hancock deliberately turned
his back upon him. When the assign
ment of divisions came, later, Grant
sent Hancock way up into Minnesota,
where he kept him six years. Meade
was given the Division of the Atlantic,
with authority to establish his head
quarters either at Philadelphia or New
York. As Meade was Pennsylvania
he chose Philadelphia. After Meade's
death Grant assigned Hancock to the
command of the Division of the At
lantic, with authority to establish his
headquarters either at Philadelphia or
New York, in precisely the same Ian
guage as had been given to Meade. As
Hancock was also a Pennsylvania the
Philadelphia people supposed that the
headquarters would remain where they
were. Mrs. Hancock, however, remem-
bered that the Philadelphians had
given Meade house in that city, and
that they had neglected to similarly
remember her husband. She deter
mined that the headquarters should be
transferred to New York, and trans
this day. Women have more to do with
national affairs than you have any idea.

TROUBLE in CHURCH.
A Feud In an African Church Ends
Homicide.

For months there has been a feud In the
Bethel African Methodist Episcopal church in
Columbia, s. C.. 1t terminated at midnight
May End In bloodshed, which led to almost a
riot. The church is the largest In that part Of
the state. Three months ago the bishop as
signed pastor to take charge Of it, but nine
tenths Of the congregation refused to allow
him to preach or enter the church. The mat
ter went into the courts, and the bishop came
TO settle the difficulty, but the congregation
would not recognize him. The minority who
were in favor Of obeying the church discipline
were expelled. The first decision of the court
was in favor of the majority, but later on the
pastor applied for an injunction to obtain pos
session of the building. This was granted,
aud that night at IL o'clock the pastor his at
torneys and thirty followers went TO the church.
The doors were barrcaded within. Persons
were heard talking I'm the interior Of the build
ing. Admittance was demanded and refused.
Several men set TO work with crow bars and axes
to break in the door. The chief Of police and
the sheriff were present. The besieged party
cal Q J out that they would shoot, and a mo-
ment later volley was fired through the open
ing made in the door, one ne no, Gu s &c va
shot IN the abdomen, and is reported as dying.
Two Others received gunshot wounds in the
legs, aud one in the hand. A second volley
was fired shortly after the first, but without
fatal result. The police finally forced the five
men in the building TO surrender Several es-
capped from the windows.
