who. on Monday. killed his wife, met Il
terrible death yesterday. The news has
just reached here. Twice did Hancock
attempt To take his own life. when he
found his pursuers on him. Then a
third time and this was a success.
Hancock's murder OF his wife was most
brutal. and aroused tho greatest In
dignation In the section Of the country
where he lived. For apparently no rea-
son he went into the field where his
wife was and Drained her with n hoe.
He eluded the vigilance of the posse
that was searching for him by hiding
near his home,
Yesterday he calmly walked into his
mothers house. without word OF ex-
planatlon he walked up To the rack
where a gun hung and was placing the
muzzle against his head when his
brother. she took II away from him.
lie begged his mother 10 give him
strychnine. He acted like crazy man.
and. breaking away, ran 10 his own
house: locking himself in there hc
calmly poured coal oil over the kitchen
floor. set match To II and lay down
10 burn to death. His brother saw the
smoke and attempted to break In. but
failed
The house burned 10 the ground and
the ashes of Hancock alone remained
to tell of the last chapter to the
tragedy.

The battle for sound money is not
won, nor can the free silver leaders
rest upon their oars. Although re-
turns have been received from nearly
all the counties. the financial problem
is still unsolved. In the race for NOM
ination for governor in Louisville and

with Catherine w. T. Avery In charge.
Mrs. j. Ellen Foster, president Of the
Women's Republican Association of
the United States. Is reported to reach
here tomorrow. 1t is now reported
that Senator-elect stephen b. Elkins
has entered the race for president OF
the league, and he will come to town
with the West Virginia delegation in
the hope of winning a victory against
the McAlpine forces. The New Workers
are entrenched In the belief that their
candidate cannot by possible chance
be beaten. There is quiet but strong
undercurrent of sentiment favoring
Clay Evans of Tennessee for president
of the league. and the strength which
he may develop depends upon his will
ingness to allow his friends To formally
present his name before the conven-
ton.
One of the early far western arrivals
Is Frank w. Bicknell. Iowa member OF
the national league. Mr.. Bicknell Is
the editor Of the Des Moines State
Register and is in touch with the pol
itics of his state.
Are the people Of Iowa going to de-
mand free silver?" he was asked.
mo sir; We are going to be very con-
servative on that point. We believe In
keeping quiet on that question. 1t Is
not the province of this convention to
formulate or even touch upon the poll
cies of the republican party. We stood
with Senator Allison in his speech
that he made at the Pittsburg Amer
icus club banquet on Grants birthday,
which is for bimetallism. You may
safely say that the Iowa delegation
will vote as a unit against a silver
platform outside of the one adopted at
Minneapolis"
"Will Iowa boom Allison for presi-
dent of the United States?"
1--WE will boom him, certainly. but
not this week. We believe in being
courteous and don't propose to do any
thing in Ohio on Governor Mckinley s
own ground"
]. r. Blanchard of New York arrived
to-day. He is the advance guard of
the forces which will push the candi-
dacy OF General McAlpine for the pres
idency of the league.
