HARRISBURG, PA, Feb. 10.-News of q
strange and mysterious occurrence at
MiIIersburg, Dauphin county, has been
received here. On Thursday morning
there was joyial crowd in a hotel at that
place, and while they were imbibingi
Samuel Motter entered. Motter was we'll
known throughout the county as a patent
medicine peddler, and was about % years.
Of age. His wife died In the almshOuss
some time ago, and since then he has been
living near this place.
shortly after Motter entered a discus
sion on religious subjects arose. The
sacrament Of the Lords supper was
talked about. Motter became very earnest
in his talk, and finally dared the men TO.
indulge In an imitation OF the Lords Sup
per. They agreed TO have 10 with beer
and bread, aud accordingly a glags was
filled with that beverage. They then knelt
in mock humility, and with the beer ia
one hand and the bread In the other Mot
ter went along distributing bite and
sup 10 each.
suddenly, when he was about half
through, a strange noise was heard, and
looking up the men saw a sight that
s'made their blood run cold and irOze the
marrow In their bOnes." As near as tue
scared men could describe it, they declare
IL WAS an immense, III formed and foul
beast with great clOven feet painted
horns and eyes that flashed fire. with
wild yells the men rushed out into Inc
open air and scattered in every direction.
Finally all OF them reached their homes
except Motter, who was away Tor long
time, and az last be arrived, maniac
He was nut 10 bed and physicians sum-
moned. but they could do nothing for him,
He rayed. howled and prayed, declaring
that he had seen the Evil One and that he
was lost. His torture was terrible, but
nothing could be done 10 relieve him, and
he died in the widest agony. The death
bed scene is said TO have been full OF hor-
rors that can hardly be described.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-The death of
Gen. Hancock and the retirement Of Gen.
Pope, which will take effect on March o,
will cause two vacancies In this grade of
general officers and promotions all along
the line. There is already considerable
speculation in regard to the principal va
cancies. The general impression now is
that Gen. Howard and Gen. Terry. who
are first and second respectively In the
line OF seniority, will be made Major Cen
erals, but the friends of Generals Crook
and Miles feel that their chances are
equally good. The following Off
GERS are applicants for promo
tion to the grade Of Brigadier
General Coils. RuRer, Eighteenth Infan-
try; Otis, Twentieth Infantry; Merritt,
Fifth Cavalry; Carlin, Fourth Infantry;

Brooke, Third Infantry; MoCo0k, Sixth

Most Of these applications were filed in

Gen. Pope and before the death Of Gen.
Hancock.

B0YC0TTS IN THE WEST.
SUCCESSFUL WARFARE OF THE
KNIGHTS OF LABOR.

Prison Made SbOas and stoves Almost
UnsaIeable I'm the Country Towns-The
Product of BOycOtted Cigar Manufac-
tory Left UnsmOksd-The Move Not a.
Successful in the City.
CHICAGO, Feb. 10.-rhe chief su bject OF
interest among the skilled laborers Of
Chicago is centred in the efforts already
made to boycott certain firms which have
incurred the enmity OF their employees
both here and in other localities. The
boycott ordered against i've OF the largest
shoe manufacturing dealers in the West
is being effectively pushed 80 far as their
city trade is concerned. There has thus
far been but a slight falling of, nor is it
likely that their trade will be seriously
injured here, but in the country II ia
claimed that already the mandate Of the
knights Of Labor has had serious effect
upon the sales Of convict-made goods
made by the boycOtted firms.
THE COUNTRY THE STRONGHOLD.
Ii Is in the country where the bovoot-
ters expect TO make themselves felt, and
the outlying districts are being canvassed
for the express purpose OF running the
business OF all boot and shoe manufec-
hNA@tH Whp nave piiobn tVuhfActH ana seiE
prison made goods. Yesterday a mer-
chant from Iowa said that in his vicinity
the boycott against a certain Eastern
stove factory had resulted IA a general
uprising among workingmen, who would
not buy goods made by the boycOtted
trms on any terms. Since the boycott
was ordered one hardware firm which
had in stock about carload OF these
goods had been unable 20 dispose Of them,
and because they had refused to discon-
tinue the sale ofthese stoves their general
trade had been seriously crippled.
CIGARS LEFT UNsMoKED.
Inquiries at many drug stores and other
places in this city where the boycotted
Davenport, cigar manufacturer, has
disposed OF his goods, developed the fact
that his trade has been seriously cut into
since the w0rkingmen of Davenport is
sued manifesto requesting all laboring
men to boycott this particular factory.
The Boycott Committee OF the
Trades Assembly 10 said TO be-
engaged in perfecting plans TO bring about
a general onslaught upon all kinds OF
prison made goods. 1t is presumed that
the first efforts viii be directed against
various contractors at the Illinois State
prisons. IL Is said that a general boycott
will shortly te ordered against these man.
ufacturing firms, and, If necessary, the
local knights OF Labor will 20 into tho
interior of the State to perform missionary
work against the sale Of their stock.

covered from an attack Of insomnia which

previous to leaving New York, and he
thinks he shall remain in good condition
during the remainder of the contest. The
game to-day is announced by experts
the best yet played, especially on the
part OF Herr Steinitz, who, during
the last half of the game played not only
brilliantly but agCressively, and deserv-
edly won the admiration Of the specta-
tors. Herr Steinitz having with to-day's
game won three games the contest here is
closed and will be resumed at New Or
leans in two weeks. Both players will
probably remain here week and then
leave for New Orleans. The contestants
are now tie, each having won four
games. The time Of tO-day's game was 3
hours and So minutes. OF which Herr
Zuckertort consumed / hour and 45 min

WAsHINGToN, Feb. 10.-The Secretary
Of State has received a telegram from
Minister McLane at Paris, dated Feb. 8,
which reads as follows: There was a
debate yesterday in the Chamber with
reference to the depreciation of the CON-
mercial value of silver. The government
was urged to ask for the reassembling of
the International conference 1881. The
Minister of Finance said most of the
powers interested were indispOsed to
change their present ratio between gold
and silver. The Minister Of Foreign
Affairs said the French government was
not indispOsed to negotiate with other
governments, but that the present time
was not favorable for such negotiation,
and desired that the question be indeh-
nitely postponed. TbereupOn the Chamber
postponed indefinitely further considera-
ton of the subject.

NoRRIsTowN, PA, Feb. 10.-Gen. Han
cocks remains will be inferred In a mau-
soieum in Montgomery Cemetery. The
cemetery can properly be termed the
burial ground of the Hancock family.
The Generals brother John many years
ago purchased a lot there, in which lie
the remains OF his seven children. The
adjoining lot WAS purchased by Gen. Han
cock and his twin brother Hillary, and in
il they placed the remains OF their parents.
BY the side of the latter lies the body Of
Winfield Scott Hancock, Jr., the Generals
grandson and namesake. The latter died
when an infant, in the summer Of 1850,
the sad news of his death reaching Gen.
Hancock the same day he was formally
notified Of his nomination for President.
In 1888 Gen. Hancock built handsome
mausoieum. The only member OF the
Generals immediate family now en-
tombed in the mausOleum Is his daughter
Ada, who died in 1870.
PLEA FROM THE SOLDIERS HOME.
WASHINGTON, Feb. I0.-The Commits
sloners Of the National Soldiers Home
telegraphed Mrs. Hancock to-day request
ing her to allow the remains OF Gen. Han
cock to be inferred ia the grounds of the
Soldiers Home here. This is the same
request that was made of Mrs. Grant. 1t
is feared, however, by the Commissioners
that arrangements have already been
completed for the interment Of Gen. Han
cock at NorrIstown.

The Operators TO Try TO starVe Out the
strikers.
Mt. PLEASANT, PA, Feb. 10.-The coke
region strike, it is thought, will now set
tie down to a mere question Of endurance
on both sides. The action OF the syndi-
cate in closing down all the works and
ceasing to turn out coke Is looked upon
by the people here as a wise move which
should have been taken two weeks ago.
The entire agitation among the strikers,
with its arson, riot and bloodshed, has re-
suited from the excursions Of the strikers
to compel those employed at the various
works 70 quit. 1t is thought now that
when the source Of ferment and confusion
is removed there will not be such rally at
the meetings, and reflection will supplant
the tendency to fight and destroy. The
strikers look upon the edict with Indiffer-
euce. They are perfectly sure In their own
minds that the operators must finally sur
render. They say that the lack Of coke
Will throw 100000 men out OF employment
IN other Industries, and pressure will be
brought to Gear upon the coke producers
from that direction even more embarrass-
ing than their own demand. The only
trouble now imminent is that which may
result where attempts to arrest are made,
and also where desperation Will como
from want of food.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-The House
Committee on Coinage, Weights and
Measures to-day gave hearing to L. f..
Jeffers, OF Kansas City, representing the
knights Of Labor, in favor of the bill in
trodueed by Representative Brumm,
known as the "Knignts of labor cur
rency bill. Mr.. Jetfers explained the pro-
visions of the bill, and answered questions
put to him by the members OF the COM
mittee as to its probable effect George o.
Jones, representing the anti-monopOlists
OF New York, was present, and expressed
desire to appear before the committee
with delegation from New York next
Wednesday. The committee agreed to
hear them, but said they would not con-
sent to withhold their report on the silver
question until that time.
SUSPENSION OPPOSED.
Representative Fuller introduced the
following resolution:
Besolged, That we oppose at the present
time suspension of the coinage OF silver, be-
heving that the interests of our country re-
qulre the utilization of both silver and gold.
A brief discussion ensued upon the
silver question, and the adVsabilIty OF an
early report on the subject, but no action
was taken. 1t was agreed, however, to
hold meeting tomorrow for further con-
sideratiOn of the silver question in case
Representative McCreary, who is absent
from the city, returns in time. A meeting
will also be held on Friday, and it is
probable that a test vote will be taken on
one of these days.
The general sentiment of the committee
seemed to be in favor of reaching an early
agreement on the question and bringing it
before the House in a legitimate way, so
as to prevent the random discussion of
the question which is taking place at
