Two Grain Dealers Settle Dissolu.
tion Of Partnership with a
Revolver.

An exciting ARRAY, which may result in
tragedy, occurred at Davenport this
morning. A year ago the firm of Krack
d Wohlenburg, grain dealers, on West

This morning the retired partner entered

ensued, which drifted into struggle, in
which Wohelenburg drew a revolver and
fired. the bullet whizzing through
hrack's nose, making an ugly wound,
and causing life Disagreement, if not
fatal results. During the struggle Krack's
son, eighteen years of age. entered, and
seeing his father worsted, seized weight
and pounded Wohlenburg on the head
with it, infiicting serious injuries.
John Wohlenburgl is now at his home
where he is suffering intensely, while G
krack. the man who was shot, is at the
German clinic, in Davenport. where he
is being treated.

Washington Telegraphed Letter
WASHINGTON D. c., Feb. s, 'S6.

WASHINGTON d. c., Feb. s, 'S6.
The week closing on Saturday
showed pretty good work for both
houses of Congress. The passage
of the bill by the Senate for the
admission of South Dakota, on
Friday afternoon, was quite a vic
tory for Republicans, ON account,
partly of the vote of Senator Voor-
hees, the only Democract who vot-
ed in its favor. Ali negative votes
were Democratic. The bill pro-
vides for the organization of north
Dakota into a territory to be call
ed Lincoln. The vote stood SO to
20. Mr.. Voorhees, thinks there is
no doubt about the passage of the
bill in the, House.
The adoption of Mr.. Bland S
resolution by the House, calling
upon the Secretary of the Treas
ury for information in regard to
his past and future policy on the
Silver question, was subject of
Cabinet consideration day or two
since, and the conclusion reached
was that the Presidents message
and the Secretary's annual report
furnished a sufficient reply, and
the House will be informed that
their silver sentiments remain
unchanged.
The General Pension Bill will
be considered by the G. A. R., at
their encampment ON the 18th of
February. 1t is believed that the
proposition to pension every old
soldier SSper month and discharge
the great army of clerks, will be
endorsed by that body. OF course
such bill would be opposed by
all pension officials throughout the
land as well as the legal and per-
sion agent fraternity, tut it will
certainly commend itself to the
great public.
The formation of Gladstone's s

DEATH OF MAJOR GENERAL WIN
FIELD SCOTT HANCOCK.

New YORK, Feb, 1G.-Major-
General Winfield Scott Hancock
is dead. The following official
notification of the death of General
Hancock was issued at four o'clock
p. m. yesterday:
GovENoR's ISLAND, n. Y, Feb.
9,-Major-General W. S. Hancock.
United States army, died at 2:35
this afternoon. W. d. WHIPPLE.
Assistant Adjutant-G General.
General Hancock's death was
the result of malignant carbuncle
ON the back of his neck, which had
confined him to his bed for several
days. No serious alarm was felt,
however, until shortly before he
expired.
The news caused the profoundest
sorrow in commercial and fnan-
cial circles, as well as among
business men generally. When
the sad event was known in the
exchanges and at the Custom
House, flags were Immediately
ordered at half mast. 1t had not
been generally known that General
Hancock was i'll, and his death
was unexpected. General Han
cock was in Washington a week
ago, and was compelled to return
home without paying his respects
to President Cleveland, the car
buncle which caused his death
having made its appearance on the
Generals neck at the base of the
brain.
