Meeting of tt Third .Desrree Delegates
The O fliers The Order, Ktc.
The Commaadeiy Convention, composed of
delegates of the tblrd or blue degree of the
above order, assembled In the ball of Philadel
phia Commandery, at Eighth and Race streets,
this morning at half-past tea o'clock.
Representatives were present from each sub
ordinate commandery In the State, and the dele
gates were welcomed by the commanding officer
of Philadelphia Commandery in a neat and brief
address.
The officers of the convention are as follows:
State Commands r O.H. Hawks worth.Clioton oo.'
Vice-Commander K. B. Albright, Philada
Master of Ceremonies J. tt. Bast, Bchuyl
kill county.
" Secretary Henry J. Stager, Philadelphia.
Treasurer M. Alexander, Blair county.
" Chaplain II. A. Herts, Berks county.
" Inspector W. B. Bodenton., Lebanon co.
Sergeant-at-Arms .T. C. Schall, Montgomery co.
Xbe convention will continue In session during
the entire day, and much interesting business per
taining to the Commandery branch of the order will
be acted upon.
The convention has accepted an invitation from
the Dauphin DlBtrlct and will lend Its Influence to
make the general parade In August next, at Harris
burg, a success.
The various reports of the secretary and trea
surer were read and referred, and they show a fair
increase In the status of the degree.
A proposition to form a naitonal head wis dis
cussed, and will be likely established this year.
A new uniform, after the Continental pattern,
was favorably acted cpon.
The Committee on Business reported certain pro
positions as to change of name, which were made the
pptclal order of business for the evening session.
The business of this afternoon and evening will he
of no consequence except to those connected with
the order.
To-morrow the delegates will be entertained by
heir city brethren, will visit different places of in
terest, and will attend the Walnut Street Theatre in
he evening. The Order of the Sons of America
has herd in existence twenty-roar years. At the
breaking out of the Rebellion, however, the order
i lmost universally suspended, and although it was
extabilshed in nearly every State in the Union, but
i wo ramps maintained an existence. Now there
are 164 camps m the State of Pennsylvania alone,
and a membership of about 25,000.
The order is patriotic, but also benevolent and
beneficial, zealously extending the same aid and
succor to their unfortunate brethren as do other
organizations of the present day. It is purely a na
tional order, and distinctly assumes a protective
policy In regard to our public Bchool system, and de
nounces the use of public moneys for any sectarian
purposes ; opposes a ur'ou of Church ana State, and,
lnfuct, favors everything that has a tendency to
purify the American people. It wars not with the
adopted citizens, and embraces men of all leading
political persuasions.
The order Is divided into three degrees. The first,
Bfvied the Red, is divided Into camps; the second
Js'tlie White, and the third the Blue or Coalman
lery, and Is only established in districts, and is the
Ji&hcst degree of the order.

CREASI PUFFS.
A Whole Household Poisoned from Eating
Them.
Some of the ladies of Mr. Burkhardt's family
were out shopping yesterday morning, and
among the articles purchased were a dozen and
a half of cream puffs. They were taken home,
spread upon the table, and were eaten by the
entire family. The two children of Kev. Dr.
Wilson and a little daughter of Dr. Thurston
were there also and partook of the dainties. In
about two hours the whole family were seized
with violent vomiting, which continued till
nearly midnight.
Dr. Breyfogle was called In and pronounced
the symptoms to be those of poison. Mr. Burk
hnrdt was absent, and consequently escaped the
calamity which might have befallen him, but all
the other members of the family, consisting of
Mrs. Burkhardt, two nieces, 6lx children, and
three servants, were victims of the unfortunate
meal. The contents of the stomachs appeared
green and bilious and mixed with blood.
Different persons have visited the place where
the purchase was made and conversed with the
proprietor. IIe states that the cream puffs
were made In a copper vessel, and this furnishes
a conjecture of how the sad affair originated.
It is supposed that the vessel after being used
was not thoroughly cleansed, and a qnantity of
verdigris formed upon the sides, which is a
deadly poison. Of course when the vessel was
need again this verdigris became mixed with
the custard or other contents, and thus was
formed the combination which did so much
mischief. To-morrow one of these puffs wjll
be taken to a chemist and analyzed. The inves
tigation may disclose something more definite
concerning this unpleasant affair. Louisville
