John Hoar, a wellto-do farmer, came to the city this morning with hia wife, leaving two daughtes, both uuder *20, at home with the hired man, Charles Jeniak, a Bohemian. Th« lMter took advantage of thn ahsenoe of hit employer to make improper proposals to the young ladies. They resented the insult and the man left the bouse in a furious rage, swearing vengeauce. The girls had threatened to tell their parents of the outrage and Jeuiak feared they would do so when Mr. ami Mr*.

Jeniak thinking tliat ho had killed both the girls determined to take his own life, and, entering the h..rn, locked himself in 1111(1 set. fire to the building. As the flames spread, however, his intention of committing suicide became less attractive, aud the intense heat soon drove hiui into the open air.

Although be had been very sick bis physician, l)r. Ford, wag hopeful unt il I his morning that be would rally and recover. The fact that he had not taken any nourishment for the last three days, and had been unconscious daring moat of that time, made bis recov- ery improbable. From morning onward his relatives were sumoned. They remained at. his bedside nntil the last. Among them were his brother Juo. P. Seymour, his sister Mr*. Conkling, Horatio Seymour, Jr , Mrs ])r VV. E. Ford, and jk nrv S. Miller. 8-nator Sherman called at about () P at. Mr. Seymour was nnoonMeious tl ereafter to the end. Through the day he was occasionally«a little deliriions, but whenever ho became conscious his mind was clear. In ltJ76 Gov. Seymour had a sunstoke from which he recovered completely. In October, 1S80, however, be appeard at Watertown to speak iu the interest of Gen. Hancock. Hedeclined to ride, but insisted on walking at the head of a torch-light procession to the hi>ll where the meeting was held. After bis speech i.e went back to his hotel and whs taken sick. Since then he has not been as robust as before. About ten da>s ago he had a sliglii bilious attack. Sunday he became restless and I hat night got, but little sleep. Monday be suffered 1'iolu nausea and at night was again wakeful. He rode out on Tuesday, aud that night slept better, but towards morning w as taken with nausea and pain iu his head. Wednesday his illness began to appear more serious. He complained of great exhaustion and said he thought he ought to die. lie was cheerful iu tone aud manner, hut his emotious were disturbed. To-day was the third day he liau not been able to take sufficient food. Mrs. Seymour is confined to her room much prostrated by her husband's death. A press dispatch say-: During his ill nem heexperieueed little if any p'.ysieul suffering anil to-day lie was wholly n it bout, pain. Mro. Seymour, who is very ill, sat with her husband during the after-noon Most of t he time the ex-Governor rested peacefully ami his condition could only be distinguished from natural sleep by the ashen pallor of his countenance, and his labored breathing. At rt:30 he was sinking rapidly; his pulse could scarcely be counted and the respiration was more and more difficult. lie expired without a struggle, and as peacefully as if falling asleep. Tbe beginning of Gov. 8eytnour's physical ailments dates from a sunstroke which befell hiui in the summer of 1876, while he was at work 011 the rouds of his town as path master, an officii * liich he was won t to say he hutl asked for. Tho immediate cause of his death was cerebral effusion, the usual process of death in old age. EVERYTHING MARKED WAY DOWN Nf.w York, February 9.—In front of No. J S Governor's Island an orderly this afternoon was pacing to and fro. It was the residence of Major General Wintii'td Scott Hancock, wbo died therein at 2:51 o'clock. If the General bad lived until the 14th day of tbe present month be would have completed his sixty-aeoond year, having been born in Norristown, Pa., February 14,1824. In tbe second story front room, furnished with soldier-like simplicity, lay the remains of the Geueral, wbo, as the guard remarked, led bis troops to more bai lies than any of his military coteicporaries. Tbe death of General Hancock was not. merely a surprise to liii family—il. wns a slun k to tiuuu mh to bin iiieiHl.H. Twenty days  lie started on business connected with the Department of tlie Atlantic loPbiladeJplna wherehe remained two days and then proceeded to Washington, where he hail business, apparently improved. Ill Washington a boil developed itself on the back of his neck. It was lanced on Jan nary 30, and as the general was much inconvenienced by its presence he returned to New York several days sooner than lie had designed. During the llrst week of February the boil developed iuto a malig- nant carbuncle which suppurated, con stantly preventing restor sleep. Dr. Ji*De way was called and it was not ilnti marked weakness resulted from the presence of the carbuncle that the surgeon discovered that General Hancock was sutlVr- »nd Dr. D. M. Stiuson, of New York. The ing from diabetes and kidney trouble. Dr. Janeway called in consultation Dr. Sutherland, medical director of the department medical men concluded that the case was assuming a very serious form on Monday. At 10 o'clock Monday night before going away Dr. Janeway found his patient in good spirits and able to assist himself and left him. [ At 6:55 this morning Mrs. Hancock dispatched an orderly for Dr. Janeway, as the General was sinking rapidly. The Doctor came speedily and found the General in a comatose state with feeble pulse anil all the premonitory symptoms of death present. He summoned the two physicians al- eady named. Hypodermio injections of brandy and ether and carbonite ammonia were administered. These, however, oulj alleviated the suffering of the soldier, w ho ;radually sank away until death was touchod at 2:51 p. M , as stated. In the words of Dr. Janeway: "The General went down to a close of his life like a person de- cending a flight of stairs." When death came the three physicians aud the hospital Stewart only were present. Mrs. Hanoock was then in the adjoining room. Tbe General leaves his widow and three grandchildren, two girls and one boy named Mora, Ada and Gwynne, the issue of the General's son Sussnll, who died December 6,1884, and whose loss the General has ver since mourned bitterly. Major General Whipple will assume com land of tbe department, supported by lieutenant Colonel Jackson, until the 'resident shall appoint the General's suoeesor from Generals Sohofleld, Terry or loarning will be adopted. Flags were at once half-masted on the annouuceinent of the death. The general will probably be interred at Non istown, Pa. mbalmed by the officers of the post. In be general orders to-morrow will be prololgated the announcement of General [ancock's death, when the regulation ceremonies are expected from Washington to-morrow. Meantime the body will be [oward. Orders in relation to the funeral J)B. J. BHEFFER, PHYSICIAN AND SURGEON, Ppnxsutawnky, Pa.

The petition was signed by temperanoe people aud other oitizens, aud ssked that the scuuuue be reduced to the minimum. A nice question of law here arose and Judge White reserved his decision till Saturday. Philadelphia Judges used to modify sentences before they expired, bat the Supreme Court decided against them. The point on which the Judge will decide is whether a oonrt can change a sentence imposed during the same term, and whether such an aotwn would not partake of the pardoning power. Immediately after leaving tf>e bench Jodge White was re-arrested, but he was immediately released on a writ of habeas corpus issued by Judge Williams. General Hancock Bead.
