- DEAD.
Expires Suddenly I'm New York.

New YORK, February AT O'Clock
this afternoon official notification of the
death of General Hancock was received
It stated that he died at :35 o'clock, and
was the result of a malignant carbuncle on
the back of his neck. wdich had confined
him to his bed for several days. No serious
alarm was felt, however, until shortly be-
fore he expired. The death of the General
was a surprise to his family, as to his
friends. Twenty days ago he started on a
business trip, connected with the Depart
ment of the Atlantic, to Philadelphia, where
he remained two days. He then proceeded
to Washington, where he had business. In
Washington boil developed on the back
of his neck. It was lanced on January Both
and as the General was much Inconvenience
by its presence he returned to New York
several days earlier than he had designed
to do.
PROGRESS OF THE DISEASE.
During the first week in February the
boil developed into malignant carbuncle,
which suppurated constantly and prevented
rest or sleep. DR.. Janeway was called in,
and it was not until marked weakness re-
shifted from the presence of the carbuncle
that the surgeon discovered that General
Hancock was suffering from diabetes and
kidney trouble. DR.. Janeway called in con-
sultation DR.. Sutherland, Medical Director
of the Department, and DR.. D. M. Stimson
of New York. The medical men concluded
the case was assuming very serious form.
Before going away, DIR. Janeway found the
patient in good spirits and able to assist
himself, and left him apparently improved.
THE FATAL ATTACK.
AT GAO O'Clock on the morning of Feb
ruary 9th Mrs. Hancock dispatched an
orderly for DR.. Janeway, as the General
was sinking rapidly. The doctor came
speedily and found the General IN coma
tose state, with feeble pulse and all the
premonitory symptoms of death present.
He summoned the two physicians already
named. Hypodermic injections of brandy
and ether and carbonate of ammonia and
brandy were administered. These, how
ever. only aIleviated the suffering of the
soldier, who gradually sank until death
came at 2:35 P. NJ. The three physicians
and the hospital steward only were present
Mrs. Hancock was in an adjoining room.
The General leaves his widow and three
grandchildren, two girls and one boy,
named Mora, Ada and Gwynee, the issue of
the Generals son Russell, who died De-
cember 26, 1884, and whose loss the Gen
eral ever since mourned bitterly.

and poles of the different lines. The lines
accompanying the railroad, have for the most
part, been repaired while work on those fol-
lowing highways, is still in progress. The
work of repairing will be very expensive. A
rrcent order for material for repairs amount
ed to $4,000. In order to put the lines in this
State in as good condition as before the storm,
an expense of $4,000 will be incurred. A
great part of the work can be accomplished
this winter, but it is now thought that it will
be necessary to devote three months of next
