CHICAGO, March 22.-Gen. George
Crook, died suddenly in his parlor at the
Grand Pacific hotel shortly after Z
o'clock Friday morning, but the officials
were SO paralyzed by the unexpected
event and occupied in ministering to the
stricken widow, that it was nearly two
hours later before word was sent to
army headquarters or the news became
current on the streets.
The general occupied box at the Co
lumbia theatre Thursday night and wit
messed Mr.. Mansfield's portrayal of the
dual role of DR.. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
He returned TO the hotel shortly after II
o'clock and retired apparently in the best
of health and spirits. His suite COM
prised parlor and two sleeping rooms
on the third floor, the third room being
occupied by Mrs. Reed, of Oakland, Md,
a sister to Mrs. Crook, and who has been
visiting them this winter.
Gen. Crook arose about half-past 6
O'Clock in the morning, and, after par
tally dressing himself entered the par
Tor, where, as was his wont, he COM
menced to exercise with the dumb bells.
About fifteen minutes later his wife, who
was attiring herself in an adjoining
room, heard him call in faint voice:
"Mary! Maryw Upon responding she
found the general reclining upon the
sofa and evidently in pain. His hands
were pressed over his heart and he was
barely able to articulate: MANY, can
hardly breathe"
Greatly alarmed, Mrs. Crook rung for
assistance, and messengers were dis
patched for DR. Hurlburt, whose office
is block away The physician quickly
responded, but on his arrival expressed
the opinion that the patient was beyond
relief. Five minutes later Gen. Crook
passed away as quietly as a sleeping
babe. Mrs. Crook was overwhelmed by
the terrible event and her grief was
pitable to witness.
Col. Corbin and other members of the
staff hurried to the hotel upon receipt of
the news, and the war department was
at once notified.
The funeral will take place either at
Washington or Oakland, Md
Gen. Crook had not been in the best
of health for some time, although he did
not consider it necessary to consult
physician A few weeks ago he went
on trip through the Indian Territory,
accompanied by Gen. Strong and other
officers, and on his return he frequently
complained to members of his staff that
his heart troubled him. The news
created a profound sensation in the
city.

John B. Castleman and Mr.. William
jackson, both of Louisville, INDUCED in a
little scrap Thursday morning in the ro-
tunda outside of the senate chamber.
They were separated before either was

company, which is being represented in
legislative matters by MIR. William jack
son. Gen. Castleman is connected with
the Rock Gas company. Mr.. jackson
claimed his company had not beet
treated fairly before the committee, ard
one word brought on another until ms.t-
teTs came to breach. The principals
were in the senate chamber at the time,

not likely TO be further trouble.

HANGED IN A GRAVEYARD.
A Quiet ''RemOvap' by Mob Near Rob-
inson Station, Ky.

CYNTHIANA, KY, March 22. - Dan,
Cruel was hanged Thursday night,
about o'clock, by q masked mob com.
posed of about twenty men. They took
him from his house to graveyard about
three miles from his home and hanged
him to wild cherry. Mr.. E. w. Hin
found Cruel hanging there FRIDAY
morning, about o'clock, and gave the
alarm; Judge Lafferty went to the place
had the body cut down and summoned q
jury, who returned verdict OF hanging
of Gruell by parties unknown. Cruel
about two years ago defrauded the people
in that community out OF several thou
sand dollars by buying cattle, ETC., and
never paying for them.
At that time he was pulled up two or
three times, and was compelled to give
up about $4,000 and ordered to leave,
which he did, going to the mountains.
he returned recently, and it is said has
threatened to kill several Of his neigh
bors and burn them out, and has also
treated his wife badly and has had q
number of difficulties. This is sup
posed to be the cause of the hanging.
No idea is entertained as TO who COM
posed the mob. The hanging took place
about two miles from Robinson station,
on the Kentucky Central railroad.
When Cruel was found he had q
black cap over his face, and his hands
were tied behind his back. A regular
hangman's knot was tied il the rope.
His wife does not say much, only that
the mob came and took him away, tell
ing her that they would not hurt her,
not care, as she did not give any alarm.
He tried to cut her throat not long since.
He also leaves five children. the eldest
only 13 years old.

arrow. Had risen to a captaincy when
OF the beginning of the civil war he re-
turned to the east and became colonel
of the Thirty-sixth Ohio infantry. In
1862 he was wounded at Lewisburg,
West Virginia.
For his services at Antietam he was
brevetted lieutenant colonel, United
States army. He was actively engaged
in several campaigns during the war;
and took part in Sheridan's Shenandoah
campaign, receiving the brevets of brig
adler general and major general, United
States army, March l3, 1855. He was
mustered out of the volunteer service
Jan 10, 1865. July 2S he was COM
missioned lieutenant colonel Twenty
third infantry, United States army, and
assigned to the districts of Boise, Idaho,
where he remained until 1872, actively
engaged in Indian campaigns.
In 1879 he was assigned to the Ari-
zona district, where he quelled serious
Indian disturbances. In 1875 he was
sent to Wyoming, where, at Powder
river, he defeated the unruly Sioux and
Cheyennes He continued his campaign
in the northwest with relentless vigor
until, in May, 1877, all of the hostile
tribes had yielded In 1882 Gen. Crook
returned to Arizona, where he forced
squatters to vacate the Indian lands. In
the following year, when the Chiricahuas
went on a raid, he pursued them and
made 400 prisoners.
During the two years following no
depredations occurred but in the spring
of 1884, the Indians under Geronomo
again went on the warpath. Gen. Crook
pursued them and forced their surrend-
er under conditions The president de-
clined to ratify his action and Gen.
Sherman telegraphed him that the only
condition that could be made with
Geronimo's band was that their lives
would be spared. In the meantime,
Geronimo and some of his men escaped,
and Gen. Sheridan having criticised his
campaign severely, Gen. Crook asked to
be relieved from the command of the
department of Arizona. He was re-
lieved, and Gen. miles was sent to take
bis place.
Shortly after Geronimo and his band
surrendered and were taken TO Florida
where they now are. For nearly four
years there has been bitter controversy
over the surrender, Gen. Crooks friends
claiming that Gen. Miles had brought
about the climax of what could not have
been accomplished without Gen. Crook S
antecedent work. This controversy has
gained in bitterness recently by the dis.
cussion of bill which has passed the
senate and is now pending in the house
committee providing for the removal of
Geronimo and his people TO Fort Sill,
1T. Gen. Crook favored the removal
and Gen Miles opposed it.
When relieved Of the command of
the department of Arizona, Gen. Crook
was sent to Omaha in command of the
department Of the Platte. In 1888, on
the retirement OF Gem Terry, he was
made a majur general and sent to Chi
cago in command of the division Of the
/ Missouri.

This was about forty years ago: John
| Cromwell, Nick Collins, Thomas Y. Brooks.
and Thomas White are also prominent
figures in the early history of the art.
Most of them are still alive and at work.
Most of the men in the business originally
carved fgureheads for ships. But with the
decay of American shipping they lost their
occupation, So they turned entirely to what
some of them had been doing between
times-they placed their gouge, their NAL
let. and their parting tool at the service of
the tobacco merchant. Some of them are
men of decided ability and talent. Robb
himself brought good artistic training to
the workshop, for he studied at the Academy
of Design for number of years.
Wood, ON the whole, is better suited for
carving in slight relief than for sculpture
proper, on account of its tendency to split
and crack. Still, sculpture in wood, as dis
tinct from wood carving, has been prac-
ticed at various times with great success,
and some admirable examples of the art
are left to us. The most ancient nations
have produced statues of wood, but, owing
to the perishable nature of the material,
many of these are known to us only by the
descriptions of various classical writer's.
But some exceedingly old examples have
been preserved in the tonlbs of Egypt One
Of these, nearly six thousand years old, rep

out of sycamore wood. The figure be-
speaks a wonderfully advanced degree of
