-2 fcurgr and Hancock, are forever linked to gether in adamant. The name of our com mander will forever lire in our annals as long as American history Is known among men. •Brave soldier, noble gentleman, beloved com panion, hail and farewell. MB LEGION PROUD OK HIM. Tho death of W. S. Hancock Is a personal grief to every companion of the Loyal Legion, for every one of us has been proud of him as our senior commander, and all who have known him ' personally have been de votedly attached to him as friends. But he has been more. He has, through a whole life time, been an unblemished typo and pattern of the American soldier. He entered bis country's service in boyhood as a cadet In the military academy, and continued not only faithful but brilliantly efficient In its service to the day of his death. His loyalty did not waver in the dark days of 1861, but be earn estly pressed into the foreground of the struggle and so bore himself that his name became proverbial for both dashing leader ship and manly, persistent courage. Without undue ambitions or personal 6elf-seeking he won his way to fame by splendid oonduct in an unparalleled series of battles, the confi dence of brother officers and soldiers outrun ning advances in rank and applauding every step he gained In promotion. When jeal ousies and intrigue were rife in the jrreat army to which he belonged, neither his devo tion to the flag nor his Jealous subordination to bis commander were questioned. He learned only to do and to dare greatly for his country. Ho Inspired his brother officers with a pure and M ilil.i; EMULATION in heroic deeds and bis soldiers with an en thusiasm of courage which doubled their power. In the supreme crisis of the war. when Vicksburgand Gettysburg permanently tui ned the tide in favor of the national cause, he reached the full maturity of bis powers, and in the great battle of Pennsylvania was fortunate in the bearing of great responsi bilities in such away that victory was In largo measure due to his broad military Judg ment and his conspicuous bravery. Severely wounded, he made haste to resume his duty with his troops, and from the wilds of the Apporaattox the long series of fierce engage ments made each battle name a new decora tion of his soldierly renown. His last ap pointment in the war to be commander of the veteran corps fitly Indicated the univer sal Judgment that no one better typified the character and virtues of the men who be came the American "old guard." Whilst he bad political convictions and attachments from which the citizen soldier is not ex cluded, bo carefully avoided every act which could be construed into improper partisan ship and always set an honorable example of the conduct in this regard, which best be comes those who wear th<; nation's uniform. As an officer and a gontleman, a citizen and a soldier ho was Httorßlly without fear and ■without reproach. His name outfit to be and will bo cherished as a national pride and treasure. OBW. SHKRinAN SPEAKS. A Feeling Testimonial by a Com* panion in .Arms. Cincinnati, Feb. 10. — In his .speech be fore the Loyal Legion to-night Gen. Sher man said: Ladies and Companions in the Glorious Cause: Gen.. Grant records on the front fly leaf of his book that "Man proposes and God disposes.*' We feel that here to-night. Yes terday we hoped to have a jolly good time, and yet the tclejii'iiph wafted over the wires ISM bad intelligence that that glorious man, your former comuiandcr-in-eblef, one who probably lias done more, to sustain the Loyal Legion than any other man on earth, lies in his shroud, and within but a few hours he will be buried lit his old home in Pennsylvania. It is riirht anil tit, ladies and H0llll0|»0ll. that we should pause and do this glorious subject martini honor, without record and without notes. I must speak and will bo as brief as possible. I know Hancock well, for my memory goes back to the time when ho caino to West Point, a tall, slender boy with fair hair and blue eyes and, checks with the down of the freshly-ripened poach. I have seen him from that linn- until a low months ago. He made a good name in the Mexican war. When I gut toSt . Louis, a captain ill the commissary department, I found Hancock there, devel oped in manly beauty, strengthened in char acter, a regimental quartermaster still, with the rank of first lieutenant, a young groom of / r A ur.AiiTJKUJ, Jtitii)]-:, . I # and here permit me, ladies, U> speak of that good woman who now is a widow, for 1 know her well. She was the child, herself,, of an Ohio lady. , Her parents came from Zanes villc, ()., Kus-sell by name, ilussell and. Ben nett, two young* men living In Zanesville as boys, clerks In a store, found in two beautiful Creole girls, descendants from the old French stock which came over here by reason of the Revolution of km*, settled at Marietta, or (iallipoiis, or Helpre— found in thorn their wives. These two young men took their young girl brides to St. Louis, and by labor, industry and thrift rose to great eminence as merchants. When 1 went there the houses of Kussell and Bennett, of which Mrs. Hancock was the ornament, the pride, and Hancock, the handsomest, the most ele gant gentleman — those two were all the envy, and that house was the very abode of happi ness and of hospitality, such as 1 have never seen surpassed even if equalled. From that time on Gen. Hanoi ck rose steadily in the estimation of his fellows, and when the war broke out there was no hesitation there, not a bit. He was a Union man. [Applause.] He was a soldier. There was not one quiver of the eyelid, not one tremble of tho hand. Hancock was a soldier, a man, and a very splendid man too, as you who have been him can boar testimony. He went into the war with his whole ? HEART AND SOUL, and carried with it experience and the teach ings of West Point, the teachings of the army, the teachings of the Held. He knew a soldier from I lie heel up to the top of the head, and he .sympathized with a soldier and was himself a soldier In every walk of life. Now, when the time came for battles to bo fought, here we had a man who whs qualified and capable, sustained by friends at home, en couraged by admiring companies, and when the buttle of Gettysburg came Hancock was the Impersonation of the defense. I have stood upon that very spot, behind the very stone wall, not during the battle, but afterwards, and there was pointed out to me the place where Picket's division came up and where Hancock stood and fell, and If there ever should be a monument erected on earth toman,, there, is the spot for Han cock's monument. But I will go further and say that I and others who were with me went up through Virginia after the war was over, and we went out of our way and wo saw the spot cwuero HancocK's 5 corps had charged across those parapets, and saw tip trees through which these men charged with Han cock at their head and compelled Meade to retreat back. These were the two points probably most historic which marked him as a man in whom confidence could be had. He had the CONFIDENCE OF GEN. GRANT, of every man who ever had Hancock on his command, myself included. He was the most obedient, tho most completely satisfactory, never questioning an order, loyal to the backbone, generous to a fault, and willing to execute any order whether he approved it or not. 1 will go further and say that I knew Hancock on the plains, where there was no chance for glory, no hope of fame, no desire to attract notice, nothing but abuso and hardships, the same conscientious man, anxious to do right, anxious to fulfill the orders of his government, anxious complete a Job on which he had been dis patcLod and generally successful. Now Gen. Hancock is dead. The big, strong, nervous man lies dead in his house on Governor's island, and we, his companions, may well shed a* tear here to-night. It was a sad piece of news which came to us yesterday. Oh! my friends, when that woman sat at the gates of Paradise disconsolate and appealed to the heavens what she should bring to admit her to the gates, she went book and forth and finally returned with the expired spirit of a soldier patriot and the gates of heaven were opened to her. If the gates of heaven were opened for the poor girl, how much more will it be for the manly soldier? THH GATES OP HEAVEN will remain ajar until he enters it, and you and I, and each and every one of us, are the hotter for the life which this man has led. Our country is the better for it. Our boys in school are the better for it. You, yourself, can point to to this man, born of humble parents, reared la common schools, who went into life with little help, and rose by 'being a true, honest and brave man and soldier, beloved by every body, mourned by everybody. And I say. Hancock, you are rewarded. I would not recall bis life if I could. He has filled his life with a full measure, He will be honored by all mankind, beloved by all man kind and beloved by all womankind, too. Before the speaking began the ladies were admitted and were seated among the companions throughout the hall, a fact to which Gen. Sherman twice referred in the course of his remarks.

Story of the Deptford Mob Started by a Terrorised Citizen. Socialist Leaders Prevent a Riot by Adjourning a Meeting. The Pennsylvania Coke Strike a Question of ranee. London's Dire Distress. London, Feb. 10. — An immense mob bore down on the city from Deptford to day, but at 6p. in. it was dispersed. The streets are thronged. No conflict with the authorities has yet occurred. A socialist meeting is to be held this evening at Cum berland market. At 5:80 p. m., two and one-half hours before the time announced for the assemblage, over 1,000 men were on the ground waiting to attend the meet ing. The crowd was being constantly aug mented by acquisitions from Trafalgar square. The cavalry from the Albany bar racks and large bodies of police have been ordered to remain in readiness to preserve order at the Cumberland meeting. A move- roent has been inaugurated to secure a meet ing of all the London members of the house of commons, both Liberal and Conserva tive, to devise measures for tiie immediate relief of the distress in London. It is pro posed to hare the meeting depute a strong committee to urge the cabinet to action in the matter. A CRCEL HOAX. Yesterday's report of an outbreak in Deptford proves to have been a hoax. It tUM out that there was uo disturbance whatever and that the story of the march ing of a mob to London is a fiction. The police, on hearing the rumors, warned the storekeepers to close their places of busi ness, thus adding to the panic The ru mors spread throughout London and crowds of people soon gathered, curious to see the expected emeute. The people of • wich were as anxiously expecting the % i>it of the limb as were the in'uple of London. The scare originated from the fact that a jeweler informed the mßm ihat lie was met in the direction ofGMMWIdI by a body of 600 rioters, who were smashing windows along the line of march. With the exception of some windows broken in the vicinity of Cumberland market, not a single case of damage was reported any where yesterday. The daily News blames the police for not hMftogOMl heads. It sa\s that as much harm has been done by their timidity as by their inaction on Mon day. The control of the police, it adds, niu.->t be placed in different hands, as i lie public can never feel confidence in the present administration. OF HI I.OWKST ' By R oVl(H-k a ciowd that numbered many thousands gathered at Cumberland market, the lowe>t criminal classes of Lon don beine represented by a strong e..n tingeut intent upon harassing and insulting thfl police.

The announcement was then made that the meeting was then adjourned until Tuesday. As the crowd slowly dis persed, cheering for the Socialist leaders, the disorderly element again manifested itself. The police were jeered at and stoned, but easily drove their assailants from the ground. Three regiments of foot guards, two of cavalry and a battery of artilery were routined in their barracks all day in readiness to sally out at a moment's Jiolite. WAKRAXTB ISsTKH. Warrants have been issued for the arrest of the several Socialists believed to be lead ing spirits in the riot of Monday. The warrants were placet! in the hands of Scotland Yard detective* who expect to have the arrests made by midnight. At a meeting this evening of the Man sion house committee for the relief of work niL'inen out of employment the Lord Mayor announced that subscription* had been re eei\«-d to the amount or CLMt, including I*l.ooo each from Baron Rothschild and Mr. Baring, the banker, and £100 from Lord Salisbury. THK VIGOROUS ACTIOX of the police of South London contrasts favorably with the inaction of the police at the Trafalgar Square meeting on Monday. Mounted constables, armed with cutlasses and revolver*, assisted the police on foot in dispersing a mob of 5,000 men near Ele phant Castle tavern. A gratifying feature was the fact that many small tradesmen mid a number of "bona fide*' workingmen joined in assisting the police to repulse the rioters, who. dreading encounter, quickly dispersed. The police had been informed early in the day ot a conspiracy of thieves inhabiting common lodging houses to make South London the suiting point of a pillaging expedition. Midnight— The city is quiet The crowds disappeared by 10 o'clock. The streets are de>erted. The panic is sub- Riding. The scare was without parallel in the history of London. Ten thousand desperate men were gathered in the streets and only needed some one more reckless than themselves to lead them to commit the wildest excesses. a QUESTIO.Va or ENDURANCE. With the Prospect That iho Coke Drawer* Will i;i vc In. Mt. Pleasant. Pa,. Feb. 10.— The coke region strike, it is thought, will now settle down to a mere question of endurance on both sides. The action of the syndicate In closing down all works and ceasing to turn out coke is looked upon by the people here as a wise move, which should have been taken two weeks ago. The entire agitation among the strikers, with its story of arson, riot and bloodshed, has resulted from the excursions of strikers to compel those em ployed at the various works to quit. It is thought now that when the source of the ferment and confusion is removed there will not be such a rally at the meetings, and reflection among the strikers will sup plement the tendency to fight to destroy. The strikers look upon the edict with in difference. There are still perfectly sure in their own minds that the operators must finally surrender. They say that the lack of coke will throw 100,000 men out of em ployment In other industries, and that pressure* will be brought to bear upon the coke producers even more embarrassing than their own demands. The only trouble now imminent Is that which may result where attempts to arrest are made, and also where desperation will come from want of food. The people who have contributed have looked upon the efforts of the opera tors to keep the ovens hot as an indication that the; must have coke, and would likely soon advance the price. The shut down, however, gives the charity business the ap pearance of lasting a long time and it is a question whether the communities can af ford to keep it up long. It is thought now that no evictions will be made at this time. THE SHUT DOWX has removed a disturbing element from the struggle. The men have no black-legsring to deal with now and the man who would work stands on an equal footing with the man who would not, excepting that no re lief will be extended to the former. The | indications are that the resources of the relief committee will soon be exhausted and that hunger will sow the seed for an up rising which, it is feared, will overshadow any of its predecessors. The strikers as sembled in groups to-day and discussed the situation, but no united action has been taken upon the late move of the operators. | The arrests made to-day created consider able excitement and for a time it was thought the strikers would attempt a rescue The Striking Clear makers.

Special to the Globe. Siiexandoah. Pa., Feb. 10. — Tho sensa tion of the season was produced here to day by the elopement of Mrs. Albert Smith with Frank Wheatley, a musician, who has resided here but a few days. One year ago Albert . Smith, employed as a boiler maker at one of the Coal and Iron company's colleries, married Miss Kebecca Bayless, a buxom young lady of IS. Smith comes from one of the mast prominent families here, who were much opposed to his marriage with Miss Bayliss. who. it appears, was looked upon as a wayward girl. The marriage, however, was solemnized, and Smith, who was warmly devoted to his young bride, furnished ' a house on Lloyd street, ' where they took up their residence. Smith was fully aware of his wife's fondness for the company of other gentlemen, and kept his own counsel in the hope that sho would eventually see her folly. Matters grew worse, and Mrs. Smith soon met Wbeatley, who in the meantime had destroyed the happiness of another .family. He visited her home, and while the husband went in the front door, Wheatley made his exit through the back. This morning Smith went to work, and when be returned this evening the fires were out and every thing scattered about the room. All his clothing was gone and most of the furniture had disappeared, but his wife was nowhere to be found. Smith was found at his home to-night selling off the remainder of the household effects, but was undecided as to what course he would pursue, lie is inclined, how ever, to kill the destroyer of his home and happiness and would not hesitate to put a bullet through the heart of his deceitful partner. Wheatley is rather good-looking and about 28 years of age. A HUGE FARCE. The Payne Investigation at Colum bus' Amounting" to Nothing-. Special to the Globe. . Columbus, 0., Feb. 10. — people of Ohio are becoming very much dissatisfied • with the rage for Investigations which has ! siezed upon the Republican portion of the ' legislature.

The primary object of the bill is to correct, unequal taxation on different species of prop erty, and to secure more definite and special manner of listing moneys and credits of in dividuals of private banks, bankers and brokers, as well as of state and national banks, real estate merchandise, manufact urers'goods and personal property. The abuse under our assessment law is now that in one comity live stock is assessed at 50 per cent, of its real value, in another at 30 per cent., and in still another 10 per cent. In like man ner, real estate, moneys, credits and personal property are assessed at as many different ratios of valuation . Section 312 of the code, the only law for assessing pri vate banks, as well as state banks, is too indefinite. It Is time that under this section state banks might be reached, because they are required to file a sworn statement with the auditor of state. Hence their capital and surplus c&a be ascer tained by the assessor, but private banks in many parts have little or no capital when the assessor comes round. This Bill is intro duced to correct this evil, so that the capital of all banks, including surplus, will be reached for assessment.

Observer Lyons wore a worried expres sion last night when a Globe reporter walked in upon him as he was seated before a barometer, intently studying it away up in the sixth story of the chamber of com merce build'uu:. -What are the probabilities?" Inquired the reporter. ••Look' a little shaky," replied the sergeant, •lowly shaking bis head, "it looks bad. There arc no Blgns or any very cold weather and a warm chinook wind is prevailing In Montana and in that latitude tbn temperature Is forty decrees above zero. The hot air seems to be moving' this way, and if it reaches us. as it set-ins probable that it will, we .-hail have a repetition of the thaw of last week. At this point to-day, the tempera ture was below freezing 1 point at noon but it gradually rose until it reached thirty-four above. It nan fallen slightly this evening, and this rise in the temperature is due to a low area coming' up from the trulf, known as a gulf cyclone. It has been raining to-day in the lower Mississippi valley, and at Omaha and at points in Dakota it has been snowing. The wind was north this morning but has veered to the west and the low area seems to b<: passing off and the thaw may be checked temporally. 1 don't think there will be a thaw to-morrow, but I'm afraid It will be soft Friday."
