THE H0EE0ES OF MAS0NEY.
Ir our readors, nnd especially those
ho linvo over boon Inltla toil Into tho
inystorics of Masonry wish to enjoy a
good laugh, lot them read the follow
ing chapter which wo take thu liberty
of extracting from a very reliable and
amusing book, entitled "Walks about
Chicago. "
Tho noble, enterprising, and moral
Christians who met in convention iu
Chicago, for tho purpose of kicking over
Masonry, have my profound sytnpa-
hies. Why I thus sympathiso with
the! r etTotts, I shall proceed to reluto
Out in a smiling llttlo railway town
thero can bo seen, to day, tho remains
of 11 man. He now, In his reduced con
dition, weighs only 2.10. Had not there
happened to lilm tho fearful event
which I am about to narrate, he might
now weigh as much as a ton, or as tho
editress oi the Agitator,
It was two years ago that this citizen
became possessed with tho righteous
Idea that Masonry is a blight, a wilt,
blast. After carefully examining tho
matter, ho felt himself called upon to
uudt rtnko a crusado against tho mulct
ing organization. After consulting
with several of his friends ho conclud-
d to join tho order, got Its secrets, and
then amiiliilato it by revealing them.
Bidding it tearful farewell to his lov
ing wife, and clasping her in a fond, it
might bo u last, embrace, ho gtartetVon
his pilgrimage.
Going boldly to a lodge room, ho
knocked loudly at tho door, nnd was
bidden to enter. Ho went In.
At that precise moment, tho air was
rent, nut) the earth shaken by a terrific
burst of thunder. His knees smote to
gether, as this menacing roar tore thro'
his tar, but ho pressed forward, nerved
by 11 high seiibo of duty.
It was noon of tho following day. Tho
single street of tho llttlo villago was
lined with anxious faces. Every man,
woman, and child had turned out to
discuss the fato of him who had gono
tho night before to discover nnd reveal
tho fcecrets of Masonry. His frenzied
wife, clasping an infant in either arm,
tearing her disheveled hair with her
hands, run hither and thither, liko a
maniac, In tearch of hcrloved and lost.
Slnco the timo of his doparturc, ho
hod not been seen or heard of. It was
believed that he had fallen a victim to
tho fury of tho conepirators whom ho
had undertaken to expose.
Gradually tho women, and tho chil
dren and tho men, gathered in front of
tho gloomy pllo which was believed to
contain tho penetralia iu which met tho
dread Masonic order. With upturned
faces, and anxious hearts, they gazed nt
its closed shutters, each of which seem
ed tho repository of some awful secret.
Suddenly tho front doors opened, ami
then, propelled by a tremendous kick,
there, shot Into tho streets 11 horrid
form !
It was that of tho lost husband; but
oh 1 how changed I lio was neither na
ked nor clad, for upon his loft fool was
n slipper; upon his right, a stocking;
around his neck, n nooso with a dang
ling cord 1
Hocamodown tho steps at n boat
long pace. His eyes woro bloodshot,
and wero lighted with a glanro of mor
tal terror. Ah ho reached tho sido walk
ho recovered himself, and looked wild
ly around.
Thus ho stood for hvo minutes, and
then n woman covered her faco with
her apron, an d tho other women, n few
minutes later, fo lowed her example
Thou ho gave a demoniacal yell, and
charged through tho crowd. Up tho
Htrcctho tore like it maddened bull.yell-
Ing at every Jump, as though punched
with a red hot iron,
Tho cntiro population started in pur
suit. IIo kept on for thrco days, and
then run himself Into tho ground, and
was captured, IIo was found to bo an
Idiot. Ho asserted that his namo was
Solomon AbilT, and ho wanted an acaclu
set out In his ear,
To day this victim of Masonic cruelty
wanders about, aimless and hopeless.
IIo often takes somebody else's wife
and children for his own. IIo is a
melancholy wreck, and his friends httvo
determined, as tl Inst resort, to secure
.'it: u consulship to soino foreign na
tion. Docs not thin effecting Incident provo
tho nefarious character (if Masonry be
yond nil dispute?
Eomo years ago I know of a most
foul murder being committed, AMasou
wasnirostcd for tho crime JIo wuu
not convicted.
It was proved that ho was COO miles
away at tho tlmo, nnd that tho murder
ed man woa Killed by somebody olso.
nut what or that? Who doubts that
ho escaped because ho was a Mason 1
I know another caso which shows
tho dovlllsh disposition of Masons. A
prominent married mnn applied to a
friend whom ho supposed to bo n Ma
son, for tho degrees, Tho lattor got to
gether six others, ond organized a plan
to receivo tho applicant.
Tlio lattor was received on tho night
Iu question, lu tho "lodge room." Dluo
lights burned, nnd solemn gongs roared,
wlilio tho sovrn conspirators groaned
portontlously in chorus.
And then tho applicant was blind
folded and led ovor ono turnod up
table, across twelvo Inverted choirs,
tripped over soven extended legs, sous
ed in four tubs of water, slid do,vn ono
soaped board, against tho grain and
was then brought up to bo examined.
Sworn on an authenticated copy of
Munchausen, to tell tho truth, ho was
interrogated by tlio G. R. J., who was
tho village physician.
"Confess," said tho latter, "all your
sins. If thero bo ono crimo on your
conscience, you must reveal It. On your
honor, on your solemn oath; lmvo you
overdone aught to wrong tho marital
relations of any citizen of this village'.'"
"Must I nnsiwor this question '.'"bald
tho shrinking candidate.
"You must, would you over pass be
neath tho Royal Arch," solemnly res
ponded Dr. R. "Answer, now, upon
your fearful oath."
"No ono, then, excopt oxcept in
tho caso of Dr. R!" reluctantly confess
ed tho candidate.
Suddenly Dr. R. launched out his
right hand, nnd "handed" tho candi
dato "ono" on his smeller. Then tho
latter tore off his bandage, and being
game ho responded witlt his left. Then
tho two clinched, nnd fought nil over
tho ono tablo and tho twelvo chairs;

that they had to bo carried homo In

A suit for divorce followed, and Dr.
R, and Mrs. took separato lodgings.
This heart rending occttrrenco exem
plifies, further, tho atrocious character
of Masonry. It Is seen that Masonry
Is a convenient garb lu which men not
Masons may perpotuato inhumauitles
and namelcts crimes. I chargo upon
Masonry tho breaking up of tho happy
family of Dr. R., by separating him
from a wlfo who loved wisely, nnd two
well.
As n further proof of the infamous
character of theso Morgan killers, I
will exposo somo of their origes which
occurred at Haas's Park, near tlio city
of Chicago.
St. John's day Is observed by thoso
people who killed Moigan. Morgan is
u man who was killed in timo to curry
an election. His initials are G. E.
Good Enough Morgan.
Tho men who killed Morgan had red
plumes In their hats, at Haas's Park,
which Indicated their bloody character.
They also all had swords. They aro
the same kinds of swords with which
G. E. Morgan wns slaughtered with.
Thoy nlso carried several Immense
poles, which arcs pointed at one end,
These poles are employed for tho pur-
poso of marking Bpots to bo usod for
tlio graves of those whom tho order
slaughters.
A good many of the men had engritV'
ings of skulls on their breasts. Theso
nro accurate likenesses of tho skulls of
meu who hiivn been murdered by tho
Masons. When a Mason lias killed
thrco meu ho is entitled to wear a like
ness of his victims' bends, and to take
tho degrco known as Golgatha.
This is tho true explanation of theso
skull badges. Of course tho Masons do
not own It. Thoy pretend that they
woro thoso skulls on account of tho wet
weather. They sttld a Hood might como
up,nnd they wanted toskull themselves
to dry hind.
Each of them had tho number 82
among his insignia. This Is tho num
ber which each of them Is sworn to kill.
Tho Masonic performances at Haas's
Park wero of a sinister eharactor. How
many men nnd women wero slaughter
ed during tlio orgies of tho day, and
buried among tho shadows, 110 ono, un
less a member of tho anti-Masonic so
cieties, will 'Over know. Ono man not
a Mason was discovered among tho
crowd. An hour later ho was found
prono on his back behind n tent. Ho
was dcatl, yes, dead drunk.
Some of thu ceremonies of tho satur
nalia wero horrifying. Ono Druldlcal
looking Mason, with along, gioy beard,
and lurid spectacles, read Bomothlng
from it roll of manuscript. As ho did
so ho was surrounded by nn nudltory
that occupied Itself with weird anil
fantastic ceremouials. Ills words seem
ed to All llioiu with it strungo power.
Unearthly sounds filled tho building,
In which 0110 could distinguish gurg
lings llko that of blood from gashqd
throats, or tho How of champugno from
buttles. Tho air was lllled with whiz
zing pellets the blzo of corks. Bursts of
demoniacal laughter toro through tho
din, Thu further tho speaker with tho
lurid Hpcet.icles proceeded, tho louder
grew tho clamor.
It was n lino add ross probably. It
was a ceremonial tald to bo lllustratlvu
of tho condition of tho Masons who
built tho tower of Babel.
Somoof tho Masonic rites uro pocullar.
As everything about tho craft has somo
mathematical connection, tho trlauglo,
tho squaro, tlut pentagon, etc., wero
wymljollzed, Tho circle was represented
by six small rings about tho blzo of a
silver dollar. A Masonic candidate
would tnko thtwo rings nnd uttoiupt to
throw them, on 11 at a time, over spikes
driven in 11 board, To tuko one of those
degrees costs twenty-flvo cents. If tho
candidate threw 0110 of tho rings around
0110 of tho spikes, ho was adjudged
worthy and well qualified.
Another degit e, which wits conferral
upon u good many, was one iu which
tho candidates stood lu rows, and pour
od nn umber colored llald, with a creamy
COL.
surface, into their opened mouths.
Theso degress cost flvo cents each. Ono
man took forty-two of theso during tho
afternoon. IIo was then tho highest
Mason on tho ground, except it ther
mometer. Thero was n thermometer
on tho ground that had reached tho 8flth
degree.
Evory onco In u whllo would ho heard
n loud oxclntnnlion. It ctuno from
somebody who was being murdered.
In sovcral cases of which I was a wit
ness, theso fell victims of Masonic
vengoauco wero outsiders, who wero
disposed of by being shot iu tho neck.
Lovely women were there, who min

Noxt Tuesday Is to witness tho hang
ing of John A. Munroc, tried for and
convicted of tho murder of Sarah Mar
garet Vail and his and her child. Tho
circumstances attending tho crime, tho
youth and social standing of tho mur
derer, tho chain of ovidcuco by which
lio has been surrounded nnd which has
gradually, but surely, narrowed upon,
until now.it Is about to crush him ; tho
youth and beauty of the woman who,
In a double senso wns his victim, and
tho Infornal brutality which could thus
do to death an innocent babo nnd Incito
a father to murder his child, mako this
caso ono of tho most harrowing which
tho Provlnco has over known.
Told briefly as possiblo tho history of
tho crime is ns follows :
.Last Boptember, as somo negroes
wero gathering borrles In n thicket sit
uated about ono hundred yards from
tho Black River Road, ten miles from
tho City of St. John, they camo upon
somo human remains, but after seeing
what they wero thoy wero struck with
superstitious awo, and returned to tho
city, but said nothing of whnt thoy had
seen. A low days afterwards it camo
to tho knowledgo of persons less easily
affected by terror and superstition than
the negroes, that dead bodies were lying
in tho neighboring woods; tlio placo was
visited nnd tho coronor notified, but
not until it week after tho original dis
covery of tho remains had been made,
did that officer sot nbout to exnmlno
tho bodies and hold nn Inquest. The
placo was Inspected : it was n lonely
spot by a nearly unfrequented road;
no houses wero near, except a farm
house nnd a tnvern. No better placo
could have been selected for a murderer
who, llko Eugtno Aram, wished to
hide from nil but tho eyo of God every
trace of his fearful nnd dastardly crime.
Had a murder been committed? This
was tlio question to ho solved. How
had tho bodies been bisposed of, or did
they dio without violence?
Search in tho thicket brought to light
tho skull, ribs, nnd thigh bones of an
ndult and tho skull of an infant, which
fell in pieces on being taken from the
ground. In addition to these, a roll of
hair, portions of a woman's dress, a
woollen Jacket, and piecos of under
clothing were found, which probably
certainti, as the Jury afterwards said
had onco belonged to her whoso body
was thero decayed and utterly unrecog
nizable. At somo distance, from theso
was discovered a baby's foot iu a little
stocking, nnd 11 pieco of lead, Hat, and
about tlio size of a silver half dollar.
This was all that tho utmost scrutiny of
tho placo and its vicimigo could detect
which could throw any light upon tho
Identity of tlio dead. Thus far, no
trnco of murder committed luul been
found.
But tho disposition of tho bodies was
such ns showed plainly that death had
not been accidental or natural. Limbs
had been torn from tho surrounding
trees and placed upon the corpses to
conceal them ; and moss had also been
gathered and scatercd nbovothem, ovl
dently with tho design of hiding nil
ovidenco of tho crime. Murder had
been committed, and henceforth It was
tho duty of tho coroner to discover tho
criminal tho perprctrator of a dotiblo
murder, not loss appalling nnd heart
rending than that dono by tho mlscro-
nnt Troppmann.
At first no cluo to tho mystery could
bo obtained. No woman and child had
been missed from tho nolgborhood, and
inquiries mtido at tho city of St. John
woro equally barren of results. Tho
wholo horrlhlo aflair apparently was to
bafilo Inquiry, tlio victims to bo una
venged, nnd tho law tinvlndlcated. A
man named Kano. whoso wlfo was
said to havo disappeared In an nunc
countablo way, was arrested and exam
lned by Coroner Enrlo, bill succeeded
Iu establishing his innocence beyond the
possibility of doubt. Ills wlfo had no
child, and was, moreover, alive, and
had been heard from. A rortnigiit nau
missed slnco tho discovery of tho ro-
moms, und yet thero was no cluo wiueii
might lead to thodctcctlon of themur
derer. Doclots hud, lu tho meantime,
shown that tho woman had been killed
by it pistol ball, which, penetrating her
skull, had left there the marks of lead
but thu bullet Itself could not bo found
THE CABMAN'S STORY.
At this critical juncturo, a cabman
tunned Wordon said that, in reading
tlio nccounta of tho affair given In tho
public Journals, he had been reminded
that in tho preceding October ho had
taken In his carrlago to tho neighbor
hood of tho placo whoro tho bodies had
been found, a woman and u cinm, ac
comimnled by a man. ThU story at
trneted public attention, anjl on being
questioned, Wordcn salil that tlio man
who had gone witn uiein wasJomiA
Mtinroo, a well-known architect of this
city, nud a young married man, of
whoso Integrity thoro had not hitherto
been it doubt. Investigation Into Mini
roo's history brought to light facts
which fully justified his arrest.
Tho story Is ono of seduction and its
usual result murder. A few years ago
Munroo became acquainted with a girl
f 1. .
DEM. - VOL. XXXIV NO. 3.
In Citrlctou named Susan Margaret Vail
and had seduced her, and alio had borno
child. In last October sho sold a
house- which had been left to her by her
father, had disappeared from Carlcton,
and slnco that timo had not boon heard
from.
In tho latter part of October a woman,
giving her namo ns Mrs. Clarke, nnd
having n child with her, camo to tho
Brunswick House In St. John and a
dny or two nfterwnrds, had been visited
by Munroo, who hnd hired Worden to
tnko them all In his carrlago along tho
Black River Road, to a plnco near that
in which tho bodies wero afterwards
found. When near this spot they left
tho carrlago and, telling Worden to
nwalt them nt Bunker's tavern, which
was hard by, thoy walked nwny, but
returned again shortly afterwards, nnd
drovo back to town. Somo days after
wards thoy repeated tho samo thing,
but this tlmo Munroo returned to tho
tavcru alone, saying that tho woman
had seen a friend with whom sho In
tended to remain. IIo was evidently
excited and in hasto to rcturn'totho
city ; ho was so anxious to get away
that ho paid for Worden's dinner before
it was fully oaten, nnd told him to drivo
back with all speed.
SOLUTION OF THE MYSTERY.
It now remained for tho Coroner to
piovo that tho remains of tho dead wo
man nud child wero thoso of Miss Vnil,
who wns supposed to bo nlso Mrs.
Clarke. Miss Vall's sisters wero sum
moned before tho Coroner, and recog
nized tho hair of tho person found in
tho thicket it was their sister's. Thoy
recognized also tho teeth nnd dress, nnd
tho flattened piece of lead wns Identified
ns ono which had been used ns n truss
for Miss Vail's child, who was slightly
ruptured. Tho remains woro thus
proven to bo thoso of their sister. Who
was Jin, Clarke I
THE TRUNK.
Munroo had left orders nt tho hotel
thnt Mrs. Clarke's trunk should bo sent
to tho Americnn boat ; It hnd been so
sent nnd bad remained at tho waro
houso in Boston ns unclaimed baggage.
Articles wero found in it which tho sis
ters swore hnd onco belonged to Miss
Vail. A clerk In n hnrdwaro storo
sworo thnt in October Munroo had
bought of him a Smith A. Wesson re
volver, nnd tho doctors sworo that tho
jagged edges of tho skull of tho murder
ed woman wero such as would bo mado
by a bullet of such a weapon. Thus
was forged the last link In tho chain of
ovidenco; Munroo was tried, admitted
riding with Mrs. Clarke, tried to ox-
plain her disappearance, but tho ovi
denco against him was damning, and
tho jury brought In n verdict of
Guilty," hut recommended him to
mercy. A petition In favor of com
muting his punishment was circulated,
but tho Governor-General refused to
Interfere.
CONDUCT OF THE CONDEMNED.
Throughout the trial Munroo acted
1th tho most perfect coolness and self-
possesiou, which may bo ovidcuco cither
of hardened villauy or conscious inno
cence. Tlio crowds who havo attended
tho court-house during tho conduct of
tho proceedings have shown much iu
dignatiou at this stolidity, nnd havo
not hesitated to attrlbutolt to impu
dence and obdurato hcartlcssncs. But
his actions slnco tho verdict tend rathor
to show that ho fully bollcved that ho
would bo acquitted. Now, ho is peni
tent, ond passes much of his tlmo In
cadlng tho Bible, and conversing with
clergymen. His fato is sealed, and ho
nows that from it there is no escape,
