His Scranton Organ Opposes His Election
to the Constitutional Convention.
A wilkesbarre. Pa, dispatch to the New Yorl
Sun says: Powderiy is in trouble at home Hi;
organ. the Scranton Free Press. which has
stuck to him through thick and thin for ten
years past has deserted him The trouble
seems to be that Powderly has been
talking too much politics of late The
editor of the Free Press thinks this is where
the master workman makes a great mistake
and it gives notice that it will oppose him as
candidate for delegate to the constitutional
convention. Powderly has his eye on the
place. The simultaneous appearance of the
Free Press editorial upon Nh. Powderly's candi-
dacy with the article booming Mr.. Hoban for
delegate causes local politicians to believe that
this is an early move to head off Mr.. Powderly
and prevent the democracy from even thinking
of indorsing man who, by his own utterances,
Is neither republican, democrat, nor a
Farmers Alliance man, but who is prepared to
assist the party which adopts his own peculiar
theories The question that is now uppermost
is where does Mr.. Powderly expect to get as
sistance necessary to elect him delegate2
PROFESSIONALLY he sees that must come from
the democracy, but il the leaders are all
against him, what will the assistance Of q frac-
ton Of the party amount to? In the course OF
the article condemning the labor leader the
Free Press says:
''After his recent utterances the democratic
party will be in no hurry to elect General Mas
ter Workman Powderly to the seat in the con-
stitutional convention which it is broadly
limited that he cOvets. The Free Press thinks
that MIR. POwdsrly's desire to secure u seat in
this convention is not consistent with his pub
iished reasons for refusing to accept the ap-
poirtment upon the world 3 fair commission"

masted until after the funeral.

TO PREVENT THEIR TELLING.
A Woman Butchers Her Children. Who Saw
Her Kill Her Husband

startling story comes from one of the lum-
Der camps at Kettle Creek Pennsylvania In
April. 1889, the people of all the region were
Mortified by the news that Frank Hancock, a
lumber man living at Blue Run, had murdered
four OF his children and committed suicide by
hanging himself in his house. The news was
made known by Hancocks wife. who had been
absent from home on the night of the tragedy
Her story was that she had gone home and
found the four children lying dead, some
IN the house and some in the yard. They
had been stabbed and frightfully mutilated
with big butcher knife. The oldest child was
eleven years old. fifth child. a babe. was
asleep and uniDj ured at the side of one of its
murdered sisters. A note. apparently in the
handwriting of her husband, was found in the
house. In which he confessed the terrible crime,
giving as his reason his desire to rid his wife of
himself and the children because Of her con-
duct.
After the coroners inquest. at which it was
found that Hancock had committed the horri-
bic crime Mrs. Hancock left Blue Run. She
was soon heard Of al an abandoned han2er-on

rough lumberman. II il rot known what dis
position she made Of the babe
few days ago messenger from the Kettle
creek camp went TO CouterspOrt with the start
ing story that Mrs. Hancock had died in camp
and that before dying she had made a confess
sion. which not only acquitted her husband of
the murder Of the children and himself. but
which declared that she herself and two of her
paramours. whom she tanned. but whose names
are not made public, murdered her husband
and the children. The confession is to the
effect that she chloroformed her husband while
he was asleep and that the two men. who were
waiting for the signal, entered the house
provided with rope and we're hanging
Hancock when the oldest child awoke and
made an outcry. The mother herself seized a
butcher knife and tried to brighten the child
into silence. aud failing she stabbed it to dea tn.

the noise. were all, with the exception of the
babe. butchered as the first had been to silence

II 10 Generally Conceded to BE One OF tb
Finest Ever Held.

| H - 1eheraiIy Conceded to BE One OF the
Fines. Ever Held.
The fourth day of the funniest now in pro-
gress in Brooklyn was successful in every way.
The weather has been fine, the attendance at
Ridgewood Park over 10000 and everybody
had a time of thorough enjoyment. There
were not quite SO many competitors in the
games yesterday as had been expected, owing
to the severe exertions Of marching on Mop-
day.
The program embraced two groups of field
events. In the first there were the contests in
raising weights, pole vaulting and the hop,
skip and jump. In the second group the
events were putting the 35-pound shot, the 2i0-
yards run and the high and low jump. This
| last was combination of both height and dis
lance as points of competition.
After these two groups there were individual
| club swinging, wrestling and fencing. Then
came the 'madchen, who went through the
gymnastic and calisthenic exercises. This was a
most interesting exhibition. The ladies turn
| Ing WAS excellent, and the ombnation of color
| in dress and skill il. turning was very effect
| i've.
The games began at $50 o'clock and con-
tinued up to o'clock. The system by which
the prizes were awarded was on the basis Of
| ficiency is what the Turner's atm at. Each
competitor had to take part In each Of the
| three events constituting one of the two groups,
and the aggregate points are considered in the
making OF the awards. For instance. as APP
pears below; William Hesse of williamsburg
won the fret prize in the FIRST group. He was
beaten in the hop, skip and jump, was tied
with Ferdinand Frederick Of Patterson, N. j.,
in the pole vault. but his general excellence en-
abled him TO score thirty-four points, two and
one-haif points more than the winner of the
second prize.
The competition in most of the events was
very keen and good records we're generally
made. When the victors were awarded their
laurel wrentbs they placed them on the heads
OF their best girls and marched proudly up and
down the park. and finally home.
Today the members of the turn vereins, their
families and friends will 60 to Rockaway Beach.
