The narade of tbe Knights Templar yes terday in Washington was a brilliant dis play, and the day was exactly suitable for it Pittsburg Commandery carried off a large share of the honors. ISPECIAL TKLEPEAM TO THB D IS PATCH. 1 "Washington, October a A more per fect day for the occasion could not have been made if it had been made to order, than this day of the great Knights Templar parade. It was just cool enough to take the Knights oyer the several miles of the route without perspiration, and for the more portly of them there was a gentle breeze that fanned and encouraged them without rais ing the dust It was undoubtedly the finest parade, though not the largest, that "Wash ington has ever seen, with its over 20,000 Knights in gorgeous regalia and waving plumes, and the hundred musical bands in magnificent costumes. In all this, the Pennsylvanians have a prominent part, having more Knights in line than any other State, and of Pennsylvania, Allegheny county did really more than its share in contributing to the great display. PITTSBURG "WAS GOBGEOUS. The Pittsbutg Commandery, with 128 men in line, claim to have made a more numerous showing than any other Com mandery, except the "Washington, of this city, which, being at home, was ont in lull force. All of the Allegheny county Com- manderies made a fine exhibition in their evolutions, and were frequently and heartily applauded. The officers of Pittsburg Commandery here are James 8. McKean, E. C; James 8. Yonng son. Gen.; David R. Torrence, C. G.; Facer J. Soidle, a"W.; Dand E. Collingwood, J. W.; W. G. Reister, K. -Sarrcjl Steel, & R; Harry Dunbar, H'rtHl tfs.ulel F. Klnger, J. G. Morrw, KoVti- Lonald. Tbe officers of Trancred CoJBHj.ry.are James S. Arnold, E. C; AV. fa. UroWn, G.; G. B. Bahrain, C G.; L T.Brown, George N. Munro, James Kerr, Jr., William McConway, D. W. C. Carroll, C.C. Boer, and A. V. Holmes, P. E. C. The officers of Allegheny Commandery are George C. Johnston, E. O.; W. R. Heckert, C. G.; James E. Porter, E.; W. H. Walker, a W.; Andrew Williams and Edward Coates, P. C. THEIE WIVES ALONG. Most of the married gentlemen in all of tbe oommauderies are accompanied by their wives. Tancred had a few more than 100 men in line, Allegheny about the same number, and Pittsburg 128. The com manderies and guests number about S00 persons. The fact that all of the com maderies brought a larger number than was expected has cansed a deal of inconvenience, notably in the case of Tancred, which stops at "Willard's Hotel. There acco mmodations for only 100 persons were engaged, and to put 175 into the space intended for 100 has led to much grumbling, both on the part of tbe hotel people and members of Tancred. Soaie of the ladies had their tempers sorely tried, but altogether the situation was taken philosophically, and this evening at the commandery headquarters, which are beau tifully decorated, good cheer is being dis pensed unsparingly. OFFEBED A BONUS. One of the officers of the commandery states that the proprietorof "Willard's offered them 500 to relinquish their bargain with him, as be could have let the rooms occu GORGEOUS pied at much higher figures than the 4 50 a day charged. The Pittsburg Commandery is pleasantly located at the new Hotel John son, and, in private rooms near by, Alle gheny Commandery have elegant and quiet quarters at the Irvington flats, on K strtet; they have taken the place entire. This evening Pittsburg Commandery gave a short exhibition drill on the street in front of their hotel, and were much applauded. They, and perhaps tbe other commanderies, contemplate a trip to the Lnray caverns on Thursday. The remainder of the week will be taken up with receptions, river excur sions and seeing the thousand novelties of the national capital. BEYIEWED Br THE PEESIDENT. The city was profusely and gorgeously decorated all along the route of the parade. ., The main body of the procession formed "in the streets about the Capitol by 1130 o'clock and awaited the arrival of the offi cers of the Grand Encampment with Gen eral Charles Boome, Host Eminent Grand Master, and his personal staff in carriages, tinder escort of the First division. The Knightly escort, with Eminent Sir Myron M. Parker, Chief Marshal; Sir Knight Harrison Dingman, Chief of Staff, and a host of Sir Knights as aids-de-camp lead ing, soon approached and halted on the spa cious plaza at the east front of the Capitol. A few moments later a word from Chief Marshal Parker put the head of the column of tbe grand parade and escort of the Grand Encampment in motion. At 1230 President Harrison entered the reviewing stand leaning on the arm of Secre tary "Windom. He was followed by Secre taries Tracy, Noble and Busk, Attorney General Miller, General Schofield and Gen eral Vincent, Assistant Adjutant General. They were accompanied by Mrs. Harrison, Dr. Scott, Mrs. Scott-Lord, Mrs. Halford, Miss Sanger and several Indiana friends. The entrance of the Presidental party was the signal for loud applause. OBDEB OF PBOCESSION. The parade moved in 12 divisions in the following order: First Local commanderies, Colonel W. C. Moore, Commanded escorting officers and dele gate to the Grand Encampment in carnages; : r- llnnra up detachment of Cccnr delieon Commandery, No. 23, New York City, as special escort to the Most Eminent Grand Master, Charles Roome, of New York.

Commander; Canadian preceptories and commanderies of Montana, Dakota, Wyoming and Washington. The last commandery passed the Presi dental reviewing stand at 3:30 o'clock. The procession went the remainder ol its long line of march and was finally disbanded about an hour later. The Grand Encampment began its ses sion immediately upon arriving at Masonic Temple at the close of the parade. Mr. Myron M, Parker delivered an address of welcome on the part of the local com mand, and introduced Commissioner Doug lass, who welcomed the Knights on the part of the city. To both addresses the Grand Master responded, and this closed the public exercises. The encampment then began its business in secret conclave. 1UE IOWA TBOTJBLE. The Iowa trouble immediately loomed up and a resolution was offered excluding the members from that State from the session. This resolution was carried and the Iowa members somewhat indignantly withdrew. General Boome, who, as Grand Master of the order, had declared the Iowa Commandery and its members in rebellion, had nothing to do with offering this resolution, but simply placed it belore the convention. It is au thoritatively stated to-night that he took so side in th- matter during the discusssion of the resolution. . The annual address of Grand Master Boome, who presided over the session was then read. His address opened with a reference to the Knightly dead during the past three years. He recommended selecting Ascension Day, as a day of especial com memoration and religious services by the order throughout the country. He then de voted a great deal of space to the Iowa trouble, reviewing the whole matter from beginning to end. He said the Grand Commandery of that State had ATTEMPTED TO NULLIFY the deliberate will of tbe Grand Encamp ment and though still professing loyalty to the Grand Encampment and the constitu tion, its deeds had belied its empty words. He admitted that the ritual adopted by the San Francisco Conclave in 1886 has not commended itself to all State commander ies, but insisted that while it wasin force it was the bounden duty of Knights to obey it He declared that he had no ill feeling for bis erring Iowa brethren, and what be had done bad been intended solely to promote the dignity of the Order. Soon alter the reading of General Boome's address the conclave adjourned until to-morrow. Although Iowa senta number of Knights Templar to "Washington, none of them took part in the parade to-day, as they were for bidden to do so by the Grand Master, who has placed them under a ban. A LANTERN BICYCLE PABADE. A lantern bicycle parade to-night of about 800 wheelmen closed tbe entertainment of the day. The procession moved up the ave nue into the "White House grounds, and was reviewed by the. President-ifrom the portico. This evening has been given up to serenades and receptions; Music-loving "Washington never heard so many bands at one time. It is said that there were 83 bands in the parade to-day, and all of them seem to be blowing their bravest to-night. The Golden Gate Commandery, of San Fran cisco, have been the recipients of unusual and marked attentions. This evening a public reception was given by Golden Gate Commandery. The ladies and Knights all appeared in lull dress. The reception rooms were thronged for several hours and great numbers of persons enjoyed the liberal open-handed hospitality of "the Califormans. California Commandery, No. 1, of San Francisco, also attracted much notice. FEIGHTFUL GAS ACCIDE5T. Two Persons Killed and Several Others Se verely Injured at Kokomo, Ind. ItrECIAI.

Mrs. Michael McDonald, wife of the famous Chicago politician and sporting mac, who disap peared from Chicago on July 24 last, at the same time as the Bev. Father Joseph.Moy sant, of Notre Dame Church, is at the Fifth Avenue Hotel. She arrived on Saturday.on the" steamship City of Chicago, traveling under her maiden name, M. Noonan. Her husband heard of her coming, and a private detective was on the pier awaiting the steamer, with a photograph to identify Mrs. McDonald. He didn't recog nize her. The detectives told the steamship officers that Mrs. McDonald had cabled to her husband that she was coming home on that steamer and he is said to be ready to receive her. The detective who was looking for her told the purser that she had sailed with the priest on the Nor maudie, of the French line, and had gone on board disguised as an elderly nun, with spectacles and a gray wig. Mrs. McDonatd talked in the hotel par lor with great animation about what she termed "the scandal." She denied em phatically that she had eloped with the priest She had left her home in Chicago, she, said, because her father-in-law made her borne life unhappy. If the' priest disappeared the same day as she did, she said, that was a mere co incidence, for which she was not responsi ble. She had not seen him, but she heard that he was in a monastery near Paris. "I am not going home to Chicago," she con tinued. "I am going to stay here and work for a living." She was furious at the detectives that she said had been dodging her about. She called them "rats," and said that her husband would gain nothing by keeping them at her heels. "If he should send a gentleman to me to bring me home, or should come himself, why the matter might be adjusted. It sever can be with detectives, though." ME. EANDALL'S CONDITION. Tho Distinguished Statesman Not Likely to Appear In Congress. rSFECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. Philadelphia, October 8. Ex-Speaker Samuel J. Randall is a very sick man, and those who are fully advised of bis condition, will be very much surprised if he ever re sumes his seat in Congress. Neither Mr. Bandall himself nor the members of his im mediate family are fully aware of his con dition. Mr. Bandall has for more than a year been treated for internal hemorrhoids, and reports are every now and then put out to the affect that he is much better, but his doctor knows that he will never be really any better, and so do the members of the medical profession in Philadelphia gener ally, by whom the case of the distinguished patient is closely watched and often dis cussed. These encouraging reports are given out for the salutary effect on the spirits of the patient, which it is hoped they may have. Dr. Martin, "Mr. Band all's physician, said to-day that he expects to accompany Mr. Bandall to "Washington on Thursday and had no doubt but that Mr. Bandall could stand the strain. He did not say he expects Mr. Bandall to recover. It is hoped that the removal of Mr. Ban dall to his own home in Washington from the rented country place where he now is may be temporarily beneficial and tend to prolong his life.

Copyright Gen eral Boulanger crossed the channel in the small hours of the morning through the tail of a big storm, which for 48 hours past has been devastating the British Islands. Tbe sea was high and the General prostrate throughout the voyage. His fair friend fared far worse, for in addition to the ago nies of seasickness she was thrown from her berth with great violence and sustained an ugly cut on the right eyebrow. The wound was roughly dressed aboard. General Boulanger was too ill to assist, but he gave orders that when the vessel touched at Guernsey a telegram should be sent to Jersey for a surgeon to be "on hand on their arrival. Then he retired to his cabin and was seen no more nntil the steamer was safely moored in St Hellers harbor. The party put up at tbe Hotel Pomme d'Or, but.were scarcely in a condi tion to draw omens of good or evil from the classical story about Paris and Helen and the golden apple. So far as the lady was concerned the application might have been too personal. Dr. Chappins, who was in at tendance at the hotel, put sticking plasters upon the lady's eyebrow and prescribed a tonic for General Boulanger. A number of military looking French men in mufti called at the hotel during the day, ana this evening the General dined privately with about a dozen of them.

Inventor Eiffel Proposes to Build Another Tower for America's Benefit. London, October 8. A well known Lon don engineer, who was one of the 250 mem bers of the Iron and Steel Institute who were entertained in Pans last week by M. Eiffel and the President 'of the French So ciety of .Engineers, gives an interesting ac count of a conversation he had with M. Eiffel, in which that gentleman gave his opinion of the feasibility of constructing a tower of such dimensions as are proposed ior tne one to oe coosirucieu on toe Bite 01 the New York "World's Exposition of 1892. In this conversation M. Eiffel expressed his unbounded confidence that tbe plan of the Paris structure, with some slight modifica tions which experience had suggested to him. could be safelv adopted for a tower twicoits heightaad tbawith this planjf' towifrof any altifuaVdesTrea presented no engineering difficulties whatever, but was simply ajuestion of outlay. It the American Exposition Committee were ambitions to possess a tower of 1,500 or 2,000 feet high they had simply to pro vide the funds and the structure would spring from the ground in nine months after the order was given. Of course great care would have to be exercised in the selection of a suitable site, as upon this would very largely depend the stability of the structure. "When questioned as to whether he would have any professional connection with the construction of the proposed American tower, M. Eiffel said it was too early yet to reach any definite un derstanding, but he was already in com munication on the subject with New York parties. PEESECHTED CHEISTIANS.

HYEBS IN JAIL. Ho Is Sentenced Fifteen Days, and Fined 8230 for Contempt of CourtHe Will Serve Ont His Sentence. J8FECIAL TELEORAM TO THE DISPATCH.! "Columbus, O., October 8. Allen O. Myers, who was indicted, tried and acquitted of complicity In the tally sheet forgeries of 1885, occupies a ' cell af the t county jail to-night, and states he will serve out his sentence of 15 davs, which was imposed this afternoon, to gether with a fine of ?250 for alleged con tempt of court during the trial of Mont gomery, who was indicted for the same of fense. The contempt consisted of the publi cation of an article in the Cincinnati En jutrer reflecting upon the conduct of the case by Judge Pugn. It also questioned his motives in various rulings. At the first hearing Myers was fined the same amount and sentenced to Berve 90 days in jail, and the case was taken to the Su preme Court on error, with the result that we higher court remanded the case for re hearing on the ground substantially that the sentence was severe. Therehearing was had last Saturday and the sentence pro nounced to-day. Myers refuses to allow his lawyers to take any steps to get him ont on a writ of habeas corpus, and it is understood will do some writing while he is in jail. "Were it not for the fact that it is un popular to champion Myers' cause, even among the rank and file of the Democracy, there is no doubt that the action of tbe Judge to-day would cut quite a figure in the campaign, owing to the prominence of the prisoner in connection with the Demo cratic management. As it Is, however, the effeot will be slight Myers discharged bis attorneys and appeared in court alone, and evidently was surprised that he got time. After the decision he sent for an attorney and was advised to serve the time, as it was impossible to get the Circuit Court judges together at this time to ant in an error case. There are a great many Democrats, as well as Republicans, who thought the ends cf justice would have been served by the imposing of the fine without the time sen tence, THE MONEY IS GONE. A Theatrical Manager Succeeds In Getting Away With SS.OOO. rSPECXAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.1' Philadelphia, October 8. Several of the best-known men in Philadelphia are anxiously looking for the return from across the sea of a prominent theatrical man, with "an accounting for several thousand dollars each, with which they entrusted him some months ago. Every theater-goer in Phila delphia recalls the engagement of the Lon Jnn Gaiety Company at the "Walnut Street Theater last spring. Among the steady patrons of the show was iWiiliam H. Comly, a theatrical manager, not without experience, and long identified with James Barton Key in the manage ment of the Comly-Barton Opera Company. Comly saw the show, met the financial head of the company and conceived the bright idea ot purchasing the properties of the company, scenery, costumes and score books and repeating tne Gaiety successes in a smaller way through the Eastern circuit and the Western cities. Mr. Comly set about organizing his syn dicate at once. Eight thousand dollars, it was stated, would be all that was required to buy the costumes and stage properties and furnish a working capital for the Amer ican Gaiety Company. Of this. Horace Disston contributed $3,000, ex-Governor "William H. Bunn, of Idaho, a like amount, and other members of the club testified thefr confidence in tbe venture by smaller amounts until the desired sum was com- nlpted "3Ue moneys paldf departed, presumably to buy the scenery ana arrange tne date ot the show. Now Mr. Comly cannot be found. It is said that he is in Europe, and has gone there without consulting any of the members of the com pany. No contracts have been made as far as can be ascertained. The members have taken legal advice, and some scenery which ,was purchased was recovered in New York and brought back to this city. In the mean time Comly is badly wanted.

So th em's "Lord Chumley" Company, died sud denly at the Lyceum Theater last night just after be had left the stage at the end of the first act of the comedy. Bishop had been tronbled for several days by what he be lieved to be an attack of dytpepsia, and when he'went to the theater last night bis wife, Josephine, accompanied him. She had been his constant companion for the last 20 years, and he said that he wanted her near in case he should be taken with another attack of dyspepsia. He was low spirited and weak when he went upon the stage, but no one in the large audience was able to detect it in his bluff and hearty im personation of Butteraorth, the retired merchant his last impeesonation. Just as he stepped from the stage into the corridor leading to his dressing room he fell in a dead faint Mr. Sothern and the stage manager sprang to him and bore him to the latter's room, just back of the stage, and the actors and actresses gathered about him with pale faces. A messenger dashed off and brought two doctors. a It took ten minutes to get to tbe theater and just as one of them, Dr. Powers, reached the stage manager's room the actor breathed his last. His wife was hanging over him crying as if her heart would break. Bishop never recovered consciousness after he fell fell in the corridor. "When he was carried into the manager's room Mr. Sothern believed that the attack was not serious, attributing it to dyspepsia, and he went before the footlights and tola the audience that Mr. Bishop had been taken ill, but that it did not appear to be serious, and that he would be able to con tinue his part in a few minutes. The inten tion was to allow Bishop's understudy to take his part The curtain was lowered, and remained down nntil his death. A PEOFOUND SENSATION, Mr. Sothern announced the death to the audience. It made a profound sensation. Mr. Sothern added that the money would be returned to the audience at the box office. The audfence filed out withsolemn faces. Bishop's fellow actors were terribly shocked by the associate's untimely death. The actor was a jolly, wholesouled sortof fellow, and everbody around the theater liked him. The occurrence brought tears to young Sothern's eyes. Bishop had been his lead ing comedian ever since he started out is Dr. Jenkins. (Joroner Lew's de the,;-AKighest. JJidder,:'- and' there vTva si Dr. Jenkins, Coroner Levy's deputr. was sent for at.be gave a permit for the- re moval of the body. Manager Frohman was summoned from Niblo's Garden and took Mrs. Bishop to her home. She was com pletely prostrated, the couple lost their son Charles three years ago. He was about 22 years old aud was also an actor. The son's death was a blow from which neither parent recovered. It permanently saddened the father. Mr. Bishop was perhaps the best and most refined exponent of broad comedy on the American stage. Before he went on the stage several years ago, he was a medical practitioner in Baltimore. He was fre quently called doctor by his associates, but it was a title he did not care a great deal for. HIS XTBSX APPEABANCE. Mr. Bishop first starred in "The "Widow Bedott" He made the piece immensely popular and it had a run for several years. But Mr. Bishop will be best remembered in his delineation of the drummer iu the play of "Strictly Business." This play he pro duced everywhere and was always received with enthusiasm. During Mr. McKee Bankin's manage ment of the California Theater Bishop was induced to shelve "Strictly-Business," and join forces with the California Theater tock company. A grand revival of old comedies was the result, Mr. Bishop always assuming the part of the grotesque charac ter. "When Shakespeare's tragedy "Mac beth" was produced at the California two years ago, Mr. Bishop played one of the witches. He took the whole house by storm. The great actors in the play were almost ignored, while the rotund little comedian was applauded to the echo. About this time Mr. Bishop was at the zenith of his popularity. A yearago the deceased joined the "Lord Chumley" Company. Mr. Bishop was a man below the ordinary height and very corpulent He could play Sir John FaU'taff without adding any ap pendages to look the character. ST0TES IN EAILR0AD CABS.
