illness of many months Mrs. Almyra Ham
cock, widow of Major General Winfield
Scott Hancock, died at 4:3op. m. at the
residence of the generals niece, Mrs Eu-
gene Griffin, in Gramercy park.
Mrs Hancock's strength had been slowly
wasting away under the subtle influence of
q succession of sorrows that had subd ued
her natural cheerful disposition and with
drawn her from society during the later
years of her life. Her only daughter, Ada
Elizabeth, beautiful and accomplished
girl, died in this city on March IS. 1875,
at the age of eighteen. Her mother, Mrs.
Adeline Russell, died at the generals
official residence on Governors island on
April "a, 1888. Her only SON, Russell,
died in Mississippi on December 30, 1884,
and her husband died at Governors island
February 8, 1886.
In the summer of 1891 Mira. Hancock
went to Europe, where change of air end
scene wrought marked improvement m
her health. Over exertion in Europe,
however, developed SERIOUS Iorin VI uor-
vous prostrstion, which was aggravated by
the winter voyage home.
After her arrival in this city last No
vember she had relapse, from which she
never rallied. She continued to grow
weaker, until death resulted from com
plste exhaustion of the vital forces.
Three grandchildren, the children of
Russell Hancock; her only brother Oliver
Russell. and two cousins are her nearest
surviving relatives. Mrs. Hancock's quail
tiles of mind and heart commanded the ad-
and affection of her friends and
relatives.
The funeral will take place from the
Church of the Trsnsfguration Saturday
noon. The remains will be taken to St.
Louis for burial.
Mrs. Hancock was descended, on her
mothers eide, from two of the Oldest
Huguenot families of New York. She was
born December 10. 1881, in ST. Louis,
where her father, Samuel Russell, was
prominent citizen. In 1850 she met Han |
cock, then dashing young lieutenant at |
tached to the quartermsster's department. |
It was case of love at first sight and the |
marriage speedily followed. Mrs. Hancock |
her husband to the west and |
remained with him as far as possible dur |
ng all his campaigns.

HE Did NOT SUCCEED.

Dr. Buchanan Tried to Explain Some
fthe Statements Made Against Him
But without Success.
NEW YORK, April 20.-In the court of
general sessions to-day DR.. Buchanan re-
sumed his seat in the witness stand. The
doctor denied his wife kept house of ILL
repute before he married her. When asked
If she had deceived him in regard to her
life the doctor declined to answer the ques-
tion on the ground that it would tend to
degrade him.
Dr.. Buchanan then denied all the state
ments made by witnesses for the proseou-
ton to the effect that he had on numerous
occasions declared that he was going to get
rid of his wife. He also denied state
ment that he had positively said that his
wife was a morphine eater.
Mr.. Wellman succeeded in getting some
conflicting testimony from Buchanan as to
the conversations held between the doctor
and a man named Heisel in the Tombs
prison after Buchanan's arrest. The wit
ness tried to explain how he came to say
to Heisel that Mrs. Buchanan must have
been morphine eater, when he had previ-
ously denied all knowledge of ever having
made use of such a remark, but he did not
succeed very well.

some of the features won considerable sp-
plause. The first act represented typical
old New England party. The song "a
Dashing Ladies' Man." by Lord Linwood,
and the drinking song, "Geod Old Wind
ham Flip" with the rustic dance were the
principal features of the act. The acting

young ladies went through with several
difficult evolutions with precision and cor
rectness. Dorothy's song, my Home on !
Windham Green" was a decided success |
and was encored. The frog ballet was also |
in this act, and caused consid- |
cradle merriment.

oRel Dyer's daughter, was excellent and |
won much praise. G. 81. Mann In the |
dual role OF Uncas, the Indian chief, and |

THE STORM IN THE STATE.

The Connecticut River the Highest in
Five Years-Unusually Severe or
the Coast-Many Vessels Seek Safety
in Various Harbers-One Reported
Ashore on Stratford Shoals.
BRIoaEPoRT, April 20.-The storm in
this vicinity this afternoon and evening
was the worst for some time and did much
damage, especially along the harbor. Many
small boats were sent high upon the shore
by the wind and dozsns of oyster crafts
were beaohed and driven hard and fast
aground. The three masted schooner
Crocker which was anchored near the
breakwater was wrenched from her moor
ings and driven ashore. At Harbor Mas
ter McNeil's Office late this afternoon 1t
was reported that a sharpe at the East
End ship yards had been carried away and
blown out to sea. A peculiar result of
the storm was the tying up of all the horse
cars in town for over an hour
this evening when travel was hesvi-
est The cars became tangled up
and were heavily loaded when Humane
Agent Marrsmore descended upon the the
drivers and ordered them to unhitch their
horses from the cars. They did 30, and
the cars were left standing in the middle
of the streets filed with people. His rea
son for taking this action were that they
were too heavily loaded for the horses to
draw. An hour later the company sue
ceeded in gstting two horses on each car,
and the system was started again.
At an early hour this morning it was re-
ported that an unknown schooner had
gone ashore off Stratford shoale, and was
in badly damaged condition. The crew,
1t is believed, managed to reach the shore.
MIDDLETowN, April 20.-The steamboat
City Springfield of the Hartford line. laid
up for the night at Goodspeeds to night.
1t took the boat two hours to make land
ing at this city, owing to the storm and
high water. The river has been rising
rapidly all the afternoon, and steamboat
men say 1t is the highest for five years.
NEW LONDON, April 20.-The harbor is
filed with craft of all kinds driven in here
by the storm, which is very severe off the
oosst. No accidents are yet reported ia
this vicinity.
NoRwALK, April 2o-A terrific wind
and rain storm started in here late this
afternoon and has since increased greatly
in fury. Many electric light, telephone
and telegraph wires have been blown down
and for an hour several live wires lay across
the main streets, menace to life and
property. At $50 O'Clock the wind in
creased almost to a cyclone and blew off
the roof of the Arnold foundry on Hoyt
street. The roof was torn in shreds and
parts of it's carried hundred feet distant.
Along the water front the damage is also
considerable.
