Lieut.. ". 8. Hancock in Florida.

Mrs. Hancock describes wildly the dis
comforts to which she was necessarily
subjected at Fort Myers, Fla, during the
trouble with the Seminoles III 1856.
"Our mail came from Tampa Bay in a
sailboat, and, wind and wave permitting,
was received once a week. Commissary
stores and other supplies came in the same
way, and On one occasion, when the boat
capsiZed with load of these stores, We
were without some of the necessaries of
life for six weeks. Gail Borden was I'M
known then, and milk could only be OBJ
tanned from the half starved, miserable
Florida cows. Fort Myers could not
boast such an animal, and Mr.. Hancock
made four separate attempts before we
could secure this luxury. The first COW
strayed from the herd during the over
land Journey and never reached US; the
second came by sea, and while being
landed at the dock fell overheard
and broke her neck; the third was
safely landed, but wandered into quick
sand on the day of her arrival and so was
lost. Persistency was finally rewarded,
and the fourth attempt was successful.
When the troops were concentra-
ting for service in the Everglades, they
encamped about one mile from Fort
Myers, there not being sufficient quarters
for either officers or men at the post.
During the rainy season the storms were
frequently 50 severe and so prolonged
that no fires could be lighted or cooking
be done in the camp. This was especially
the case during the cold 'northers' pc
culiar to that time of the year. Pork for
the men was cooked in the fort, while the
officers Jared as best they could. During
this time l kept open house, and the table
was always stretched to its full capacity
The officers drew lots for this privilege,
and chance decided who should be our
guests at breakfast, luncheon and dinner.
On one occasion Gen. Harvey tried to
learn from some squaws the hiding place
of Billy Bowlegs and his followers, who
were concealed in the Everglades. Harsh
measures were resorted to without sue
cess, the women refusing to reveal the
secret even when rope was brought out
with which the general threatened TO
hang the little children. At sight Of the
rope Russell Hancock, Lieut.. Hancock's
little son, sprang from his seat, la Poca-
hontas, and commenced pleading piteously
for the lives Of the Indian babies. Find
ing the general memorable, he finally ex-
claimed: ''Well, if you will hang them,
please give me their bows and arrowsr'-

INDIANA DEMOCRATS.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April 25.-The city
tonight is swarmed with Democrats. Most
Of the delegates to tomorrow's convention
have arrived and the number of politicians
at work among them in the interest OF
various candidates is very large. Ex-Sen
ator Mcdonald, who was a candidate fol-
delegate to the convention and who was
defeated for that honor has published a
letter addressed to the Democrats of the
state, in which he bitterly assails Gov
ernor Gray, and predicts that the state
will be lost to the Democracy in
case the governor is nominated for
vice-president. The letter is the subject
of much comment, but it is not believed il
will prevent the convention endorsing
Gray's candidacy. Another subject OF
comment was an editorial in the Sentinel
characteriZing as unfortunate" the candi-
dacy of John +. Sullivan, county clerk, fol-
delegate to st. Louis from the Seventh
congressional district. Mr.. Sullivan is
one of the men indicted in connection
with the Coy Bernhamer tally sheet cleo
ton frauds, which Indictment is still
pending.
The delegates from the various districts
assembled in separate meetings tonight
and made the selections of delegates tC
delegates to st. Louis. The delegates are
not Instructed, but all are for Cleveland
and Gray. Outlook tonight is the nomi-
nation of Matson for governor and the
delegates at large at the st. Louis conven
tion are likely TO be Senator VOORHEES, and
Turpie, Shanklin, and Basle.

refiner of West MARYLAND county, Pa,

become the bosses Of the railroads
