by Fast Master
Henry M.
Dechert.
To-day an unusual event in the Masonic frater
nity of Philadelphia transpired, being the dedica
tion of a monument to the memory of the late
rand Tyler of the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania,
William Bockfus Schnlder. For more than a quarter
of a century he had held the game oillce of high
truHt and honor: he succeeded bis father, Charles
Schnlder, the successor of his father, William Schnl
der, who was the first Grand Tyler of the Grand
Lodge of this State. The son or the late Grand
Tyler now holds the same eminent office, which has
been filled by the Schnlders from time almost Imme
morial. William Bocklus Schnlder died In 1867, and
Ms remains were placed In the family vault la Monu
ment Cemetery. Scarcely a year ago they were re
moved to Mount Moriah Cemetery, West Philadel
phia. The project of erecting a memorial shaft was
then started, and gained favor at once. Subscrip
tions were raised, and under a plan which permitted
every Mason In tne State to give his
moiety, Seven thousand dollars were thus raised,
and just meet the necessary expenses. The monu
ment was constructed by Van Gunden & Young, of
this city, the latter of wnom went to Italy, procured
a block of purest marble, and had the work executed
under his superrislon. The base Is triangular, each
Bide being sixteen feet in length, the height being
thirteen feet. It Is formed of three layers of marble,
each succeeding layer being somewhat smaller than
Its predecessor, so that the appearance given Is that
of a flight of steps. Next follows, upon the top, the
die, which has upon one side a bust of the deceased,
the altar and Bible on another, and Masonic
emblems on the third. The shaft is of the Corinthian
order, nineteen feet high, and is surmounted by the
fjqunre and compass cut in marble. The die and
Bhaftareof the purest Italian marble. The total
length of the monument is thirty-live feet.
To participate in the dedication of this the first
monument raised by the Masons of this jurisdiction,
Invitations were sent to all the lodges, nearly every
one of which sent their delegations to participate in
the solemn ceremonies. At 11 o'clock this morning,
when all the delegations "had ai rived, the procession
was lormed at the cemetery gate by the Grand Mar
Bhal, Mr. George W. Wood, in this order:

and Lodges Nos. 9, 3, and 2.
Then followed the Committee on Monument and
grand otllcers in usual order.
The monument stands in the centre of the "Circle
or St. John," radiating from which are the lodge
lots. When the procession reached this Masomo
ground It halted, the brethren opened to the right
and left, while the grand otllcers passed through to
take their places on the platform. Then brethren
then formed in a hollow square around the shaft.
William J. Kelly, of Lodge No. 69, and Secretary
of the Building Committee, then addressed the
Deputy Grand Master, Samuel C. Perkins (acting la
the place of Grand Master Robert A. Lamberton,
who was unavoidably detained in Harris burg),
thus: "
Right Worshipful Grand Master: The committee
to whom was intrusted the duty of procuring and
erecting a monument to the memory of onr deceased
brother, William B. Schnlder, late Grand Tyler of
the Right Worshipful Uraud Lodge of Pennsylvania,
have performed that duty, and the monument is now
ready to be dedicated, with ceremonies accordant
With the ancient usages of the fraternity.
To which the acting Grand Master returned :
My Brother: I congratulate the committee upon
the completion of their labors, and It affords tne
satisfaction to comply with the expressed wish ot
tne brethren; and, with the assistance of the grand
oillcers, I shall now preceed to solemnly dedicate
this monument to the memory of that good Mason
and faithful onicer whose name It bears.
Brethren, the blessing of lleaven upon our labors
will now be asked by the Orand Chaplain, Brother
George W. Maclaughlin.
Grand Chaplain Maclaughlin then delivered this
prayer:
Consecration Prayer. Almighty and ever-glorious
and Gracious Lord God, Creator of all things, and
Governor of everything Thou hast made, mercifully
look upon Thy servants, now assembled In Thy name
and in Thy presence, and bless and prosper "all our
works begnn, continued, and ended In 'ihee."
Graciously bestow on us wisdom in all our doings;
strength of mind in all our difficulties, and the
beauty of harmony and holiness in all our communi
cations and work. Let faith be the fruit of our obe
dience to Thy revealed will. And, finally, graciously
be pleased, O Thou sovereign Architect or the Uni
verse, to bless the craft wheresoever dispersed, and
make them true and faithful to Thee, to their neigh
bor, and to themselves. And when the time of our
labor is drawing near to an end, and the pillar of
our strength is declining to the ground, graclousiy
enable us to pass through "the valley or the Bhadow
of death," supported by "Thy rod and Tfly staff," to
those mansions beyond the skies, where love and
peace and joy forever reign before Thy throne.
Amen.
The brethren then answered Glory be to God on
high, on earth peace, good will toward men.
1 lie Grand Master tuen said, "Let the monument
now be unveiled," and the canvas was dropped
from the glltteilng shaft.
The chairman of the Building Committee, Mr.
John Q. Gionodo, or Lodge No. 19, delivered this
address to the Grand Master:
Right Worshipful Grand Master : On behalf of the
lodges whom he faithfully served for so many years,
and whose contributions have erected this trloute to
his memory. 1 now present to you, representing the
Right Worshipful Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania,
this monument, which marks the spot where repose
the mortal remains of Brother Wl'llam B. Schnlder,
late Grand Tjler of the Right Worshipful Grand
Lodge of Pennsylvania.
The Grand Master said: In the name of the
supreme and eternal God, the grand Architect or
heaven and earth, to whom be all glory and honor,
1 dedicate this monument to the memory of our de
ceased brother, William B. Schnlder, for many years
Grand Tyler of the Right Worshipful Grand Lodge
of Pennsylvania.
The Grand Chaplain then prayed: "O Lord God,
there is no god like unto Thee, lu heaven above, or
In the earth beneath. Who keepest covenant and
Bhewest mercy unto Thy servants, who walk before
Thee with all their hearts.
"Let all i he people of the earth know that the
Lord is God, and that there is none else. Let all
the people of the earth know Thy name and fear
Thee."
Response by the brethren "The Lord is gracious,
and His mercy eudureth lorever."
The Grand Chaplain then said:
Blessed be the lord, that hath given rest unto Ills
people. The Lord our God be with us, as lie was
with our fathers. Let Bim not leave us nor forsake
us; that lie may incline our hearts unto Hlra, to
walk in all Ilia ways, aud to keep Ills command
ments, and Ills statutes, and Ills judgments, which
He has commanded.
Response by the Brethren Glory be to God on
high, peace on earth, good will towards men.
The procession then reformed and marched to an

We have tnraee aeide far a brief hoar Irani the bnsy

Standing lathis rssting-plsee fer tbe dead, we are re

sleeping aronnd as onoe wore animated with tbe hopes,
the fears, and the joys of life.
Tteir morning hours shone bright in tbe beams of pro

'I be infidel would stand tiers as one without hope.
These grares, this silence of the rlxad, wiuld tell bim
nothing, save the dread story of deosyand of eternal
death.
The sublime principles of our fnith teach na that man is
immortal ; tbe rnioe of God, speaking to us through Kovs
la' ion, says, "We shall not all slHei;but we ahull all he
changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the

written :
"Death Is swallowed op In victory."
"O Death, where is t y stingf U grave, where Is thy vic
tory?" We stand here between the past and the future ; the
present is a narrow isthmus between two boundless
oceaDs; the one is marked for a few thousand miles from
the shore by the tracks of vessele now dismantled and
useless; the other is an abyss whose waters no mortal eye
can see.
Masonry teaches us tbe dootrine of a blessed immor
tality. e have deposited in tbe grate of our lamented
brother the evergreen as an emblem of onr fnith in the
Immortality of the soul. We are reminded by it that we
have an immortal part within us, which Bball never, never
die.
We have come bere to renew our faith over the grave
of our late brother, William U. Hohnider, and to testify to
each other as to the purity and tbe faithfulness of bis
life, He walked in and out among ns in the disoharge of
his official duties, and by his honesty and manliness of
character won the esteem and love of all his brethren.
We wore accustomed to receive from him the friendly
summons to our several Lodges and Chapters -, he is now
Eone, and we are left to commemorate bis virtues, so that
e msy become an example for his ohildren and children's
Children.
His brethren in Masonry have erected this monument,
that all men who pass by may know of bim as we knew
him.
Brother Schnider was born in this city on the iHth dny
of March, 1817, and died on the l'.thdayof December,
1867. He was appointed in the month of December, lm I.
tirand Tyler ot the Right Worshipful Grand Lodge of
Pennsylvania, and continued in the laborious discharge ol
tbe duties of that ofhee until his death.
Ho was a man of quick apprehension and of elnarsnd
decided judgment. His powers of memory wre extra
ordins.ry.and beyond those of any other man known to our
community. These characteristics eminently tilted him
to be a faithful sentinal at the portals of our temple. No
eavesdropper or cowan could gain admittance while he
stood at tho gates.
His genial smile welcomed the fraternity when they
went up to the temple. Young and old alike soiiKhtfor
advice from him as a friend. Visiting brethren came to
him as one they would not ask of in vain. The stranger
er wayfaring man appealed in bis distress to the Grand
Tyler, and our Brother Schnlder, first finding the com
plaint to be just, responded with alacrity and tender sym
pathy to toe cry of distress. His own purse was always
open for the relief of a worthy but distressed brother
his hand was ever ready to sustain him his heart beat
respunbively to eur joys and sorrows. Home was tbe hap
pieet place on earth tor him, there be met affectionate
relatives and friends whose comfort and happiness were
bis constant care. We remember to-day with onr fraternal
sympathy the widow and orphans whose bereavement,
now chastened by time, still discovers the vaoant taut in
the family circle.
He was alwsys to be trusted in small things as well as
in greafr affairs, and it can be truly said tbat during
his lite he wronged no man, and failod to discharge ni
sinple trust confided to him. He lived and died an honest
man.
In this solemn presence I would use no words of studied
eulogy. This monument, has been erected by his brethren
from no spirit of display or worldly show.
"(Jul storied nrn or animated bust
Back to its mansion call tbe fleeting breath?
Can Honor's voice provoke tbe silent oust,
Ol Flattery soothe tbe dull cold ear of death!"'
Perhaps the happy spirit of our brother is now present
with us, rejoicing at our affectionate sympathy.
This polished marble, these emblems, that Corinthian
column, are types. 1 hey do not speak to bim tbat is dead,
but to the living The granite and marble will perish
with the lapse ol eei, but to ns, and to those who shall
come after us, these emblems will mark the honest and
faithful labors of a brother who lived justly towards all
men and reverently and piously in the presence of the
Sovereign Mater of the Universe ; that column, pointing
to the skies, will remind ns of that house not made with
hands, eternal in the heavens.
Before any man can take part in the mysteries of oar
Order, be must not only acknowledge the existence of
God, but he must put his tiust in Him. To trust in God
is much more than a mere belief in God, It is to rely npon
Him in all times of trouble and prosperity, to repose con
fidence in His promises, and to have faith in Him. If we
trust in Him our faith is well founded. By faith come
hope and charity; and by faith only can we be madeac-
? minted with things not seen. Our brother lived in this
aitli, and we rest in the abiding trust that his disem
bodied spirit new delights in the glories of an unseen
world.
The anoienO Israelites consecrated the Temple npon
Mount Moriaik. and tbey covered it with marble and pre
cious jewels; it was a symbol of their faith and worship.
The body of our beloved brother rests beneath this
monument, dedicated by lawful authority, that we may
show his and our faith and abiding trust in Almighty
God, tbe grand Architect and Master of the Universe.
Upon the conclusion of this address the brethren
were dismissed.

A Runaway horse Exciting: Time A boy set
on" a number of tire-crackers this morning, about
half-past 8 o'clock, at Second and Brown streets,
the report of which frightened a conple of horses
attached to a dearborn wagon belonging to a Mr.
Lukens. A lady and ner child were sitting in tne
wagon at the time the horses started on". Tbe ani

several wagons ranged along the market-house, de
molished at Second and Coates streets a huckster
cart, ran down Second to Green street, where, com
lug into violent contact with a large truck-wagon,
they were stopped and secured. In one of the col
lisions tbe lady and child were both thrown out, but,
singular to say, escaped with very trifling injuries.
This neighborhood, owing to the preseuce of tbe
market and a large number or farmers' wagons, Is a
very bustling one, especially on Saturday morning,
and it is a wonder that no serious accident occurred

THE COAL TRADE.
The Retinvnptlarit lit tit Lehigh Heglii
The Coal Inspector of Philadelphia
The Trad at This Port Tho Complete
Tonnage fer the Week Quotations,
Ktc.
The event of the week has beem the resumption of
the men in the Lehigh, er mere particularly the Ha
elcton region, who until this time have been stand
ing out oa a question of a small advance In wages,
and who new resume npon the terns offered by tne
operators last February. These terms they then
rejected, but the operator! have not since showed
the slightest willingness to concede the smallest
point and as a consequence they have won the day
unconditionally. Tbe miners have lately held out
mainly npon a small advance of wages which it has
been customary to pay In that region en account er
a peculiar formation of the coal. This the operators
refused to give any longer. These miners had pre
viously hela out on a question of a lower rate of
wages for cutting coal also, but this demand the
ruBiorlty abandoned some weeks ago.
The operators in their offer of last February, in
addition to their schedu'e or prices, demanded the
exclusive control of their own works, and declared
that the miners had no right and should not dictate
In matters relating to the management of toe col
lieries. This demand has also been obtained Irom
thoHe who agree to return to work.
As the situation now stands only a portion of the
collieries have yet actually returned wotk, thongh
negotiations are in progress In all, with a manifest
willingness on the part or the men to work. This
partial resumption, with the expectation of making
it mere complete Immediately, virtually ends the
suspension in this region. The entire resumption
will have a very perceptible effect on the snpply.
The movement or some of the more honestiy In
clined retail dealers of Philadelphia, looking to the
appointment ol inspectors, who are to inspect and
brand the carts and do other duties which will tend
to prevent iraud upon customers, and the bringing
of a bad name upon the trade generally, has dually
been brought to a ruecpssful termination ; that is to
say, the necessary legislation has been obtained and
the inspectors are now actually appointed. Whether
the end aimed at has been obtained, however, re
mains to be seen.
These officials are now three in number. If they
are the proper persons there is a hope that good may
come or the movement. But it they have been ap
pointed from political or "ring" preference only,
which it is more than likely is tne exact state of the
case, then the honest dealers who give good weight
and will not do otherwise, and who wished for a fair
competition in prices with their fellow-dealers who
do not give good weight, and consequently are able
to sell what they ca'led a ton or coal at a lower
figure these honest men will find themselves in the
same position as before, with the additional trouble
of the inspecting and the fee added. The method of
inspecting tried in New York is a poor precedent,
and it cannot but be compared with ours, thongh it
is hoped ours may never become like that. There
the inspector simply appointed the retail dealer who
wished to sell a deputy inspector. The dealer then
received hall his own fee and did the inspecting of
the weight of his own coal. All the Chief Inspector
had to do was to receive the money at intervals from
the dealer.
At this port the trade is reported slightly more
active. A demand has been created for larger sizes
by manufacturers, who are taking advantage of the
Beading rates. This demand has slightly advanced
rates on those sizes. Consumers are also reported
to be beginning to lay in their supplies, probably in ac
cordance witn tne many requesisto tnateiieci wnieri
they have received from the operators.
Tne Bcranton uompany announce an auction saie
on next Wednesday, in New York, of 120,000 tons.
Low prices are expected, but it is not thought that
they will affect the general market to any great ex
tent, as the supply is so nearly equal to the demand.

The Journal also has the following:
"The whole contest in the coal regions since last
January, both by the companies and individual
operators with the men, has been to fix a scale of
wages that would enable them to put coal into the
market at a cheaper rate, so as to extend the con
sumption, and thus take the glut out of the market;
while the leaders were contending for a restricted
trade, including suspensions, In order to
keep np the price ol coal and wages, regardless
of tbe state of the market. That contest Is ended
for the present, and if the consumers will
now commence laying in their supplies at once, and
thus take the coal as fast as it arrives in the mar
ket, it can be supplied, and prices will not rnle pro
bably over from 75 cents to 11 per ton higher thin
July rates: but if they hold back there will bean
other panic in the tall, and prices will rule nearly as
high next winter as they did the last. Should such
be tbe case, the responsibility will reBt upon the
consumers, and not the producers, as we have
warned them in time."

A HIRED ASSASSIN.
Remarkable Scandal In Saratoga County,
New York.
From the Troy Times, June 23.
The southern part of Saratoga county has lately
been greatly excited over a matter the develop
ments in regard to which are about as follows: A
little more than a week ago, Isaac G. Lansing, a
farmer, living in the town of Hairmoon, went West
with a gentleman from Vlscher's Ferry, to buy
sheep. Immediately after his departure a most hor
rible story became whispered about, the substance
of which was that Mr. Lansing had bargained with
a man to murder his wife durlug his absence.
When Mr. Lansing returned he found the rumor
was rife in his neighborhood, and at once com
menced a suit for slander, and obtained an order
of arrest against Abram Devoe of Crescent, the au
thor of the story. Upon being arrested, Devoe at
once made a criminal complaint against Lansing
for plotting the murder of his own wife, npon which
LanBlng was arrested yesterday and arraigned before
Justice Cramer of Waterford.
The examination of Lansing was at once pro
ceeded with, and Devoe disclosed a state of facts
which, if trne, reveal a plot for wlfe-marder on the
part or Lansing which, in horrible and cold-blooded
details, rivals RullorTs most damnable crimes.
Devoe swears that more than a year ago Lansing
approached him with complaints of "trouble in his
family," and a proposition to Devoe to get his wife
"out ol the way," for a consideration. Devoe says
he received the proposition favorably, and that
on the strength of it he has at various times
received favors from Lansing in the shape
of fire-wood, etc., and small sums of
money. Devoe also disclosed the nature of the
proposition to several persons, telling them that he
intended to make use of it to gut considerable
money out of Lansing and finally expose him. As
Devon's story goes, about two weeks ago Lansing
told him that he was about to leave home for several
days, that his wife would be alone In the house,
which Is quite Isolated, every night with their two
small children, aud he wanted the business done
then. Devoe relates the details of instructions
which he received from Lansing, how to enter the
house through a certain insecure window, how
to make bis entrance noiseless, where to
find his sleeping wile, how to find certain jewelry
and silverware in various parts or the house, which
he was to take away, and thus to make it appear
tbat plunder was the object: also how to rob a
neighbor's honse near at hand, and thus make the
"blind" darker, and finally how Lansing cautioned
him to "make no mistake" and "not harm the chil
dren," but to "make sure work or It." Then tne
blood-money was patd, the sum being tlos,
and the devilish business arranged. Devoe
tells his story in such minute detail and
connects so many collateral facts and
outside parties Incidentally with it, that before the
investigation is closed it cannot fall toappear that
Devoe has told an ingenious and tremendous lie, or
Lansing ought to be hung. The examination is ad
journed to the 26th tnst. Mrs. Lansing baa some
property, and both she and her husband are re
spectably connected. The "trouble in the family,"
lt Is rumored, is certain entanglements with other
women, and the wife's property is suggested as an
Inducement to the plotting. It Is certainly a most
strange and unfortunate atfair.

The Funeral Ceremonies at Farts.
A Tribune letter-writer froM Paris says: The

If 1 add that the greater part of the show was in the

than the free rise ef one's elbows, no one who knows
the Parisians will be astonished to hear that tha
crowd was to be nambered by hundreds of thon.
sands. The Archleicai Palaee Is si tasted In the
line de Crenelle St. Uermaln, close te the Hotel dea
Invalldes.
Here the embalmed body or m nnselgnenr Darboy
was laid out in state, in a ehapelle ardent, a room
nnog wn n oiaei ana suver. ana dimly iigntea witn
tbe huge waxen tapers whlah play so prominent a
part in all the ceremonies of the Roman Cat hoi io
Church. At ! o'clock, yesterday morning, tbe
clergy composing tbe chapter of the Cathedral of
Notre Dame went to the Arcbblshnp'g palace to re
ceive the body of the bean of the chapter, and then
tbe solemn procession started. .
Preceded by three mourning-coaches, containing
twelve bishops of different dioceses under the late
prelate's supervision, came the funeral car, the mag
nificence of which called forth expressions of won
der and admiration from the crowd. The car was
not closed, but had a baldachin over the coma so
high that the coffin was completely exposed to pub
lie view.
As the funeral car approached, every head was
bared and the women crossed themselves devoutly.
The coffin of tbe Archbishop, on its arrival at Notre
Same, was borne to the catafalque prepared for lt
in the choir. Ibis catafalque was supported by four
sliver statues, and represented Religion, Faith,
Hope, and Charity.
On the top were vases filled with ibcense and
spirits of wine, which sent forth a ghastly whitish
name, most conspicuous in the dim light In which,
the whole cathedral was shrouded, as the coma
entered beneath the Gothic portal the military mu
sicians plajea a march by Chopin, which startled
not a few of us who had remained In Paris daring
the Commnne, and who had been present at fune
rals of the National Uuards. for this was the dirge
which their bands almost invariably played in fol
lowing their dead to the cemetery.
The services proceeded with slow solemnity, only
broken by the sobs or many or the friends or Mon
seigneur Darboy who were gathered around the
eotnn. Conspicuous among the many soldiers pre
sent was WacMahon, who stood leaning on hl9
swerd, not far from the choir, in an attitude of the
deeoest reflection. Not far from him stood Trochn.
.and near bim Lavaucoupet.
The Bold-bedecked uniforms or the generals and
stair officers shone like stars against the black
dresses cf the priests. As the absolution was given
by Monsetgneur Chlgi, the Papal Nuncio, a saivo of
cannon boomed forth, and the ceremony was over.
A few people approached and placed Immortelles oa
the coffin, and then the great cathedral was slowly
forsaken by the crowd, which had occupied since
six in the morning every inch of available space.

N. Y. MONEY MARKET YESTERDAY
From the IT. T. Herald.
"As daylight begins to break through the confu
sion consequent upon the recent failure of the
movement in Rock Island, the original acoounta of
the causes producing lt are confirmed. The chief
leader in the proposed cornering or the stock was
betrayed by his confederates, who were quietly re
alizing on their portion of the pool stock while he
was buying. He seems to have got an inkling of
their treachery on Tuesday, when the sadden large
supply of the stock to his brokers aroused his sus
picions. He endeavored to Induce their return to
the pool movement, and spent Tuesday evening at
an up town hotel vainly urging a restoration of
good faith. On Wednesday morning he renewed
his entreaties at the offices of the parties down
town; but they still refused to undo their
work, and - the collapse ensued almost Im
mediately, lt seems that 111 feeling had ex
isted for some time between tbe leading
operator and his confederates, owing to a previous
transaction, lu whtch he had broken faith the
speculation at that time being Northwestern. Bat
r inferences were temporarily healed, and the move
ment in Rock Island begun, only to result in the ap
plication to himself of the tactics which he had used
in the Northwestern movement. The law courts
are now busy with applications for injunctions front
the various firms involved in the Rock Island fiaeoo.
A meeting of tne various creditors will be held to
morrow afternoon to take steps for a settlement of
their claims. Meantime, as already stated, the
principal operator above referred to has expressed
his willingness to settle, at fifty cents on the dollar,
such claims as ma; exist against htm personally by
reason of his individual contracts for the delivery of
stock on "puts." Otherwise he holds the members
of the pool jointly responsible with himself
lor tbe losses occurring from the general fail
ure. The shock produced by tbe panlo is not
yet over, and the market this afternoon underwent
a counter reaction from tbe first calm succeeding
the storm of Wednesday. The street Is entirely
dlbpirlted and has lost all hope of a sufficient revival
of 'bull' enthusiasm to change the current in the
direction of higher prices the remainder ot the sum
rntr. Had the present demoralization taken place
earlier in the year in the spring mouths, for in
stance a fresh speculation for the rise might be
successfully reorganized. But the time is too short,
and the period midsummer not calculated to en
courage such an undertaking. The cltques wno are
as jet interested in the market are casting about
them for the means of getting out, and something of
their mana-uvres might be traced in the alternate
strength and weakness of the past two days. The
