nouncing General Crooks death to the army. This order will recite the per- sonal worth and distinguished services of the deceased, and will direct that the flags on all military posts be placed at half-mast on the day of his funeral, and also that officers of the service wear the usual badge of mourning for thirty days. Adjutant-General Kelton said yester- day afternoon that the funeral arrange ments will be conducted entirely in ac- cordance with the wishes of the family, and will, to some extent, depend upon tho time and place of burial. From his personal acquaintance with General Crook he was of the opinion that he would not care to have any particular pomp or ceremony at his funeral. Ths details will be arranged, however, as soon as the wishes of the family are known.
 Following is the message of Secretary Proctor:
 WASHINGTON. March 21. Mrs George Crook, Grand Pactfc Hotel Chf- cdgo:
 Let mo join with the people of the country which General Crook served SO well, in sor- row for our common loss and ln sympathy with you in your bereavement.

Sad End of Pretty sixteenYe old
 Pennsylvania Girl.
 LEHIGHToN, Pa, March 22.--A sad case of shooting occurred here at eleven o'clock Thursday night which resulted in the almost instant death of Miss Ger tie Hiskey, handsome girl, sixteen years of age. Webster Campbell, of Weissport, Pa, was paying his atten- tions to Miss Hiskey. He says that after the other members of the. family had retired, he removed revolver from his pocket and placed it on bureau. The weapon fell to the floor and was accidentally discharged. The ball en- tered Miss Hiskey's brain and she fell to the floor and soon after expired. Yesterday the coroner's jury rendered a verdict that Miss Hiskey came to her death by a pistol-shot wound at the hands of Webster Campbell. Two chambers of the revolver were found empty, and 1t is alleged that, instead of accident, Miss Hiskey was shot by her lover. Campbell was arrested and lodged in Mauch Chunk jail.
