A stated meeting of this association was held last
evening, lion. EU K. Price, President, In the chatr,
with large concourse of members. Very many
valuable donations since last meeting were an
nounced, and letters were read by Mr. Henry Fiiti
Hps, Jr., tho Corresoondlng Secretary. Toe usual
routine basiness was gone through.
The Committee on Hall was authorized to procure
ft new hall in a central location, at Eighteenth and
Chesnut streets, which had been offered to ihem, If
she price suited ihe finances of the society. Mr.
Charles Henry, the historiographer of the society,
read a biographical sketch of Hon. It. 8 Fields, of
New Jersey, late an honorary Vice-President of the
society.
Dr. Brinton communicated to the society Inte
resting facts relative to a valuable series of lacus
trine deposit from Neufchatel, lutely examined by
himself In New York, and traced their wonderful
similarity to tho implements of the American In
dians. 1 hey were ornaments, rings, axes, bracelets and
pendants, etc., etc. He spoke at great length on the
subject and was listened to with marked atteuMon,
deserved by the magnitude of the subject and the
reputation of the speaker. In the discussion which
followed additional facts were elucidated bv William
X. Vaux.Wtuq., and W. P. Chandler, Esq. i he Presi
dent stated facts In reference to a late dlscove-y of
an interred Indian at Dr. Wood's place, near Glou
cester, stating that the defunct was found in a
sitting position with things scattered around hlrn.
He stated that Dr. Wood had erected a monument
Where the noble savage had been discovered.
Members were proposed and elected. The follow
ing paper, by Alfred Saudborn, Bsq., of Montreal,
Canada, on "Masonic Medals," was read to the
Boclety, for which thanks were tendered,
CANADIAN MASONIC MEDAL.
Trior to the year 18.58 the Masonic lodges of th
provinces now known as Ontario and Quebec held
their warrants from three several graud 1 idgos,
namely, those of England, Ireland, aud Scotland.
This system was productive of much evil to the
trait, creating a diversity of interests and allel
ftnee and au absence of harmony in action aud
working. To apply a remedy to this hurtful stale of
aliulrs a preliminary meeting of delegates was held
on July 19, ISM, at the Clifton House, Niagara Falls,
when it was decided to call a convention t aseinnlx
on Wednesday, October 10, at the city of Hamil
ton, Canada. At this convention It whs unani
mously resoived to form a "Grand Lodge of Caua la.'
Oillcers were chosen, and ou the 2d of Nwemoer
they were Installed by Hon. II. F Backus, P. G. M.
of the Grand Lodge of the State of Michigan. The
Or and Lodge was thus fully constituted under the
name of "The Most Worshipful the tiraud Lodge of'
V. and A. M. of Canada."
It was hardly to be expected that all the Masons
In Canada should be satislled with this movement.
Foremost among Its opponents were th se who
formed the body then known as the Provincial
Orand Lodge of Cauad i (a branch of the Graud
Lodge of England). They took strong grounds
against the new power, and by their efforts several
oi the Grand Lodges were led (for a time) to r el use
recognition.
In ism steps were taken to unite the two bodies,
and at a meeting of the Provincial Grand Lodge,
held at Toronto on the 30th of June, lsrT, It was
resolved "that the interests of Masonry required
that perfect unity of tbe craft should be restored
and maintained throughout the province (Ontario),"
and a committee was uppolnted t J take such mea
sures as they might consider necessary uud expedi
ent to ell'eci. such unity, and to meet any committee
wntch intent no appointed by i lie Graud L tdgo or
Caduda. The latter body huvlng appointed such
committee, a meeting of the twoiwau held at Toronto
on the 6th of August, when a plan for the nnl in of
tho two bodies was presented, but no satisfactory
decision was arrived at, aud In the following Sep
tbmber the members of the Provincial Grand Lodge
assembled aud dissolved that body aud declare I
themselves an Independent Grand Lodicc under tnti
style and title of The Ancient Graud Lodge of A. F.
ami a. m. oi i.anaoa.
During that year several conferences were held
between representatives of the rival Grand Lodges,
which resulted in a basis of union acceptable to
both parties, and on the 14th of July, 13-w, the
'Ancient Grand Lodge"' was de dared dissolved ami
the union i f the cralt was p-rlected. Ten das
later It wus resolved "that a medal b.j struck co u
metnoratlve of the union of tho craft lu Canada,
now so happily effected, and that a committee be
appointed lo tirrange the design and get the medal
prepared and ready for distribution at the moettags
to ue new la January, isnu." tub latter part or me
instruction was not luianeci, as the committee re
ported at that meeting that they had selected the
design aud ascertained that the cost of the medal
wou'd be from tt to 13, without the Union ribb n,
Tor wiilcu it wouia ne necessitrr to scui to J-Jug-
land. the cost of which would be about 12 extra.
They also recommended that the medals sh mid be
silver gilt for oitlcers and tast oillours of the Grand
Lodge, aud of silver for the master, tte immediate
past master, and the wardens of all the lodges
the reelstry of the Grand Lodge at the time of the
union, to whom Its distribution should be strictly
confined. The I'ulon ribbon referred to consis'ed of
a beautifully executed silk ribb in, bearing the repre
sentation of the English union-jack. At a subse
quent meeting of the Grand Lodge It was decided
that this ribbon should be recognized as an honorary
riblwiu, and might be worn by any member of t lit
craft; the medal to be worn only by those previously
named. At the time of the union, there were 03
lodges under the Grand Lodge of Canada, and 00 of
Provincial Register, making in all 113 whose Ollloers
were entitled to receive tne mcttai.
The design chosen for the ineda1 is quite simple la
detail. It bears upon the obverse the arms of tin
Grand Lodge, surrounded oy the words "Graud
Lodneof Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of
Canada." Reverse, a wreath of maple aud lau:el
leaves encircling the inscription, "To com:nm irate
the Union consummated 14th July, lftss." The dies
are but poorly executed, and are not sufficiently
hardened, as appears from late impressions taken.
Tbe reverse die is almost entirely detaced. I have
not been able to ascertain with any certainty the
name of the engraver, but have been
Informed his name was Kills, of Toronto. Tills state
ment is doubtless correct, as in tho Treasurer's
statement for 1S99, under date f-epternber 17, there
Is the follt wing entry, viz. : "To paid J. Ellis on ac
count of engraving medal, floo."
The meeting then adjourned.

Lonpon. Nov. 4. Late advices from Paris
give particulars of the disturbances which oc

occurred. Aided by the adversaries of an armis
tice, they made an armed manifestation before
the Hotel de Villo, where the Committee of
Fubhc Safety was established by the rioters,
comprising Ledru Rollln, Hugo, Gustavo Flou
rens, and other well-known names. The mem
bers of the Government were detained as pri
soners for several hours, but were at length
released by the soldiers of the National Guard,
which also put down tbe manifestation.
Paris will vote on Thursday next if the
powers of the Government of Defense shall be
maintained. A Mayor will be elected for every
Arroudieecment.
Trochu Threatened.
During the disturbances Trochu was threat
ened by a mob. Muskets and bayonets were
pointed at him, bat his coolness disarmed the
rioters.
The Paris journals all contain articles urging
the Government to take energetic measures.
The News of fletz.
The news of the capitulation of Metz caused
a great sensation at Paris, but no discourage
ment among tho troops.
The position at Bourget has been captured by

Qcebic, Nov. 4 Tho Parliament of tbe
Troylnce of Quebec opened to-day with the
usual formalities. Tho Lieutenant-Governor In
a speech alluded to tho liberal grants which had
been made towards the educational and charit
able institutions, public works, coloiUn
tion and immigration, aud also tho
aid to new railroads, the gratifying results from
which are an encouragement to persevere in the
extensions and explorations which bad taken
place, developing large tracts of timber land,
which were being Eettlcd and opcued to trade.
Measures have been taken to stimulate immi
gration aud also for the return of our fellow
conn try men from the United States.
He spoke in strong terms about the arbitra
tion for a settlement of tho relative debts of the
Provinces, rendered necessary by the confedera
tion, lie protested asalnet the continued sit
ting of the board after the withdrawal of the
Quebec arbitrator, and characterized the
refults arrived at as Illegal and unjust. Not
withstanding the heavy drain on the exchequer
for public works, a balance remains larger than
last year. Large grnnts have been made to

flagrations.

N. Y. MONEY MARKET YESTERDAY.
ffrom the K: F. Herald.
"The causes which have been so long operating
for a lower price in gold, but thi influence of wnicu
had been checked by tue oversold condition of the
market and the htgti borrowing rates for cash gold,
asserted themselves nnite potently to-day. and pro
duced a decllue to 110 which is the lowest since
the7tnor July, iscz, a period or over eigni years.
Last spring, when the gold Interest ou tho ten-
forties came upon the market, there was a decline
to U0V, but the European war intervening
occasioned a return to m. The decline, which
is due in the main to the steady advance
of the national credit, Is assisted just now by tne
fact that the Treasury before the middle of January
will have disbursed about $50,000,000 of gold. The
rumor of an artnlst'ce between France aud Prussia
is only an accidental influence at this time in direct
ing the normal movement of the premium. There
was an enormous business in the Gold Room this
afternoon, and the precious metal was poured on
the market in a steady stream Mr several Hours.
Were It not for the purchases of the shorts, who
were in immense force, the rapidity of the decline
would have been still greater. 1 lie reports rrom
London represent great excitement at the Stock
Exchange and a sharp advance lu five-twenties, the
62 h ciobiog at vy,.
"There were twentv-elght offers at the Sub-Trea
sury at noon to sell bonus to the Government, the
proposed purchase of a million eliciting oiTerlngs to
the extent of 15,662,250. The award was not made
nntll qnlte late this afternoon, when the odd lot of
ll.777.ooo was accepted, the excess above the million
being bonds purcnaa-u ior me reinvestment 01 me
sinking fund gold sold yesterday.
. "The decline In gold, by diminishing the value of
the coin interest ou uovernment bonds, rendered
the market for them weak, and produced a corre
sponding decline in price. The decline was more
marked in the five-twenties than lu the Wn-fortles,
which latter were comparatively steady, owing to
the fact that they are In request by the national
banks for deposit at Washington against their cir
culation In Dlace of the five-twenties.
"Tbe money market was devoid of the spasmodic
irregularity noticed the past few days, and worked
easily at four to five per cent, ou Governments, and
at uve to six per cenu on biocks. i ue aisuouut
market was without essential chango.
"Foreign exchange was lower and dull on the
basis of 109 V for prime bankers' sixty days' ster
ling. One of the Canadian banks was drawing at a
sixteenth less than tlila rate."
Daniel 8ullivan. the oldest letter-carrier in
the United Ktates, was recently compellud to
refigi bis post at Rochester in consequence of
failing health.
October is reported to have been an un
usually healthy month at Springfield, Mass.,
some! twenty deaths only haviuif occurred
against forty-seven for the corresponding month
of laet vear.
A wealthy old miser recently starved him
self to death at inicago. lie naa.uvea ior
years on rotten fruit, decayed vegetables, putrid
meat, and stale bread. His death finally re
sulted from strangulation and gangrene of the
intestines.
The greatest difficulty now experienced by
the Louisiana planters seems to ue iu procuring
bands. The New Orleans Timet says "there
never was a more favorable season, never more
cotton ready to be picked, and never more
trouble to Induce the negroes to turn out and
gather the fleecy wealth." A cotton factor who
recently returned to the Crescent City from Ar
kansas reports that tbe fields in every direction
have the appearance of the Northern prairies
after a heavy fall of enow. The reluctance of
tbe hands to turn out and pick is ascribed to
the low price of cotton. They have generally
got in debt to the extent of their shares in the
cron. and Imagine that any further labor on
their part will be for the benefit of their ere-
I dltors.

commanding the Shenandoah, dated Lisbon,
October 12, in which he says the vessel had a
disagreeable voyage of thirty-eight days from
Boston. She was under sail most of the time,
having used steam only on several occasions
when necessity demanded. The cyclone of tho
11th and 12lh of September was the severest the
commander had ever known during his thirty
years' sea experience. The Shenandoah, he
eays, proved herself an excellent vessel In every
respect.

A NEW JERSEY TRAGEDY.
Mord'r f ft it MA iM nn by hi. Venn Wife
Her nolelde Implication or her Hon.
A fearful tragedy has been enaoted In Montvilla
township, Morris county, New Jersey. Henry
Miller, a highly-respected farmer of the vil
lage of Taylor town, of the above-named town-
snip, went on W ednesday morning last to nut
work in the woods, taking with him, as was
his usual custom, his dinner in a small pall.
While eating his dinner, at noon, and shortly after
he bad swallowed only a lew moutuiuis, be be
came sick, and noticed a peculiar ana unplea
sant taste in his food. He therefore gave the
rest of it to his dog, which bad accompanied
him, but before the animal had bad time to de
vour it all, he, too, was taken sick, and in less
than five minutes was dead. Mr. Miller ob
tained passing assistance, aud was carried home.
On arriving at his house Mrs. Miller, who is his
second wile, and is etill quite young, seemed to
feel much more sorrow over the death of the
dog than at the dangerous condition of her hus
band. Mr. Miner angered till tue evening, when
he died. Several of tbe medical ; men of the
neighborhood were summoned, and the body of.
the dog was opened. Traces of arsenic lu large (
quantities were at once found.
1 be woman, wno an tne time 01 me investi
gation bad been an apparently uninterested
spectator, was then observed to go to the cup
board of the room and to take out a piece oi
bread and butler, which she ate. She was soon
eeied with fearful pains and spasms, and be
came insensible. She died at 2 o'clock the next
morning. It then became plain that she had
herself placed tbe poison in her husband's food,
and had, when the finger of suspicion began to
point toward her, committed suicide. Her mo
tive seems to nave been to obtain possession 01
the old man's farm for herself aud the children
of her first husband.
A coroner's iuquost was immediately held.
when it was elicited tbnt one of Mrs. Miller's
Eons, a young man residing in tbe western part
of New York S'ate, had, while on a visit to his
mother a few days ago, purchased from a neigh
boring druggist two ouuees of arsenic. Part of
the poison was found in the cup'-oard. Officers
were immediately sent to secure his arrest. The
excitement in the peaceful neighborhood is
intense. The inquest will be couiinuetl to-day.
