The Huncock-Lanham Difficulty

To the Editor of The Times:
The article headed War Between Rival
Lovers in yesterdays Evening Times is
inaccurate in nearly every particular. In
the first place Mr. Hancock is married
and, second, the young lady is resident
of Washington, and was visiting me. Mr..
Lanira m was paying attention to the young
lady, and visited her quite frequently. TIN,
young lady being piQned q ia reprimand, told
Mr.. Lanha m something that Mr.. Hancock
said, which aDgered him very much. Mr..
Hancock was in his front yard with several
young men, when Mr.. Ian ha M called him To-
the fencei in an apparently friendly manner.
Mr.. Hancock crossed the fence, and asked
what he desired.
Mr.. Lanham asked for an apology, and
when Mr.. Hancock desired to know for
what, used the whip without further words.
visited the young lady, who left my
home in the ea,iy evening, and desired to
know whatshetold Mr.. Lanha m m husband
had said. She refused to tell, simply say
ing: .Ch, it was nothing to cause an as.
sault.n To this statement there were
witnesses Mr.. Hancock wasnot badly hurt.
The Community at large believe Mr.. Han
cock innocent of any wrong.

The crisis in the coal strike, which
everybody has BEEN looking for, appears
to have come at last. On yesterday, in
the ParEcrsburg district of West vir-
gnia, the strikers intercepted the miners
as the latter were going to work in the
Montana mine, and again attempted 20

est approach TO collision with the au
thorities that has happened In the dis
triet, and further developments are an
ticipated with equal interest and appre-
hension by both sides. The operators no "
declare that tGey will work their mines at
all hazanls. Reports again are rife that
the State militia has been ordered to he
in readiness t. protect the plants. Much
tile same conditions obtain in the Pitts
burg district, where the Cleveland oper-
ators have principal control President
RaUchfoTd, of the Mine Workers, declares
that some of the operators are talking
bloodshed, and accuses them of wanting
it, as the readiest means of bringing mat
ters TO a speedy issue. He says that, II
they attempt to start up with non-unon
miners ali the stockades and defenses in
the woria will not be sufficient to keep
their men inside.
