Visited by u Number ofKuishW at Hi
Home ou Monroe Avenue.
Orand Junior Warden T. F. Penman
wax visited ut his home last evening,
on Monroe avenue, by the members of
Coetir ile Lion und Melltu loinmand
erlea, who paid their respects to their
brother Knight who hits brought such
honor ti our locul eommanderies. and
even tu the city Itself, through his
elevation to an official position in the
grand commander' of the state. The
members of the two oommanderles as
sembled In their quarters at Masonic
hall, ut Linden and Penn at 8 o'clock,
and fifteen minutes later proceeded In
a body In full Templar dress uniform
to Sir Penman's home.
Bauer's band headed the column,
which inarched up Linden street to
Madison avenue, from Madison to Vine,
up Vine to Monroe, and down Monroe,
hmlnent Commander F.,L. Brown and
Punt Eminent Communder W. L. Con
noil, of Coeur de Lion, lead the division,
accompanied by Eminent Sir II. H.
Kulin, cf the grand commandory; Em

of the grand chapter of Pennsylvania;
Henry W. Smith, past eminent com
mander of St. Alban's commandery, of

MR PENMAN CONGRATULATED.
When the Knights assembled In the
rooms and been welcomed by E. Sir
Penman, Past Eminent Commander W.
L. Connell, called the company to order
and addressed u few words of congrat
ulation to the new grand Junior warden
on behalf of both Coeur de Lion and
Mellta commanderles. The Grand
commandery, he said, had bestowed as
much honor upon the city Itself as upon
the local commanderles when It elevat
ed E. Sir Penman to this high position.
Laughingly he remarked that when he
had been elected mnyor, E. S:r Penman
had called upon his and requested him
not to use the Influence of his office
against Mellta commandery; but now It
seemed that Mellta was getting a little
more than her portion, having had se
lected from her ranks hoth the deputy
grand communder and the grand jun
ior warden: so the Coour de Lion's hnd
arranged their little event In order thut
K. Sir Penman might be requested
not to throw the Inlluence of his high
oiflco URainstT-'oeur de Lion. Assuming
a graver tone the ex-mayor then spoke
of the satisfaction entertained by Coeur
de Lion over the honor conferred upon
a member of their fraternal rivals, and
cited the not inconsiderable part that
the commandery had taken In his elec
tion, us an evidence of that feeling.
E. Sir Penman was suffering from a
cold so severe that his voice was scarce
ly audible In the farther rooms und af
ter thanking both commanderles In a
few well chosen remarks for the honor
shown him by calling on him In full
Templar uniform, called upon Sir R. A.
Zimmerman to speak for him. Before
Sir Zimmerman took the floor, how
ever, he said that during his candidacy
he had been particular to impress the
fact that it was not his personality
which should be recognized, but num
erous commanderles In this corner of
the state whlrh were without represen
tation among the officers of the Grand
Commandery; and as the Masonic ele-

ment In this Bection was of consider
able Importance he found the reason
ing quite effective. lie referred to the
defeats of Scranton in the Grand com
mandery nnd In the Royal Arch
Masons, which has rendered our victory
now the more appreciated. He spoke
most appreciatively of the support
which had been accorded him by the
past commander of Coeur de Lion, and
presented himself as a witness of the
cordiality which existed between
Melltu and Coeur de Lion commander
les. MR. ZIMMERMAN'S REMARKS.
Sir R. A. Zimmermun, in his remarks,
expressed his satisfaction over the out
come of the election of grand
junior warden, not only for Melita's
sake, but for cummanderies throughout
all Northeastern Pennsylvania. In
concluding he took the opportunity to
thank the Sir Knights for the kind
nesses and courtesies which had been
extended to him during his term as
division commander.
Sir Zimmerman, who relieved Sir
Penman of tho duties naturally devolv
ing upon him on such occasions, asked
E. Sir 11. H. Kulin to make a few re
marks. After signifying his r'asure
In welcoming the grand Junior warden
into the -ofllelal rank of the grand
commandery, he ppoke with consider
able enthusiasm of our great, hustling,
business city, which, he assured us,
has a splendid reputation for the high
character of Its citizens and Its won
derful steam pressure energy through
out the state. (
The vote given E. Sir Penman today,
he said, Indicated that our entire sec
tion of the state was deeply Interested
In his election, and the applause which
greeted the result Indicated .that he
had a warm place In the hearts of the
members of the grand commandery.
He complimented the two command
erles on the success of the conclave,
which, he said, was the best parade
and demonstration of the grand com
mandery ha had ever teen.
E. Sir W. II. Dickson, of St. John'.
commandery. No. 4. of Philadelphia,
was called on and spoke of the marvel
ous growth of Scranton since he first
visited it in 187S. He recalled the at
tempts the Scranton commanderles had
made to elect their men in the grand
commandery and how he thought ten
years ago they were defeated only
through bad generalship on our part
He related some amusing Incidents In
connection with that occasion which
were appreciated by many of the older
Templars.
MR JOHNSON'S ANECDOTES.
E. Sir R. W. Johnson, grand king of
the grand chapter, spoke of the splen
did treatment given him upon the occa
sion of both of hla Masonic visits to
Scranton. He also related several
anecdotes about grand commandery
elections, which were highly amusing.
E. Sir Henry W. mlth, past eminent
commander of St. Alban'a command
ery, of Philadelphia, recalled how It
was very largely due to the loyal sup
port of the commanderles In Scranton
and vicinity that it was possible for ms
commandery to bring about the elec
tion of E. Sir E. S. Wright as grand
Junior warden; and because of our as
sistance at that time he was especial
ly pleased that our candidate had been
successful, and was proud that St. Al
ban'a had cast her votes with the win
ner. Past Grand Commander Joseph Alex
ander, Jr., of this city, E. Sir E. H.
Ripple and E. Sir A. J. Colborn also
spoke briefly.
Light refreshments were served-and
the knights, after saying good-night to
their host and new grand Junior ward
en, inarched in a body to the hall to the
lively strains of the "New Yorkshire
March."
SIGNIFICANCE OK CHOICE.
Many readers of The Tribune possibly
do not understand what the election of
E. Sir Thomas F. Penman to the office
ofgrand junior warden of the Grand
E. SIR EZRA H. RIPPLE.
Chairman of the Reception Commlttae.
Commandery of Knights Templar of
Pennsylvania signifies. From the office
of grand Junior warden he is elected
and advanced each year and in 1901 will
be grand commander of the Knights
Templar of Pennsylvania. Scranton Is
fullyentltled to this honor. H's elestlon
represents the sentiments of the north
eastern portion of the state, wherein
are located upwards of 42 lodges, 12
chapters and 9 commanderles. Herein
are situated two very large cities, the
subordinate Masonic organizations of
which have never had representation in
the elective offices of any of the grand
bodies.
E. Sir Penman is the past master of
Peter Williamson lodge No. 323, Free
nnd Accepted Masons; P. H. P. of
Lackawanna Chapter No. 185, R. A. M.,
nnd P. E. C. of Mellta Commandery
No. GS, and was E. Grand Sword Bsnrer
of the Grand Commandory for the year
1894, by appointment from the late R. E.
Grand Commander Charles S. Baer. He
Is an enthusiastic and representative
Knight Templar of the comparatively
younger element, and possesses all
thoBe necessary moral and mental char
acteristics to qualify him as an officer
of the Grand commandory.
He will ably represent this section of
Pennsylvania In the Grand command
ery and will fill 'the various offices to
which he will be elected with dignity
and ability.
DEPARTURE OF THE KNIGHTS.
Large Number of Commanderles Left
the City Yesterday.
The threatening weather of the past
two days which seems to have held oft
far the special benefit of our visiting
Knights Templar, kindly relraineu
again yesterday from soiling the hand
some uniforms of our guests as they
loft their quarters In the various hotels
and tock their departure from the city.
All day yesterday the evidences of
the breaking ud of the conclave were
seen In tho bus loads of Knights and
ladles with their baggage and regalia,
which were being hurried to every out
going train. With two or three excep
tions every commandery, as a com
mandery, had left the city by 7 o'clock
last evening. The Mary Commnndery,
of Philadelnhla, will remain In the city
until 2.30 o'clock this afternoon. Last
evening a number of this commandery
with their ladles visited the steel mills
and this morning they will make a
trip Into the mines of the Soencer and
Nay Aug Coal company at Dunmore.
About ten carriages full of Knights
and ladles of Kudobh commandery, of
Philadelphia,' employed the morning
yesterday from 8.30 o clock until noon
lu driving about the city. This com
mandery left for home at 3.45 on a spe
i-lal train.
The Corinthian Chasseurs, of Phlla
delphla. Is another commandery which
remains over until today. A number
of the ladies with this commandery
were with the party which took the
trip over the gravity road to Honesdole
during the forenoon. Many of them
were familiar with the ride over the
Switchback at Mauch Chunk and Glen
Onoka, but were enthusiastic In their
praises cf the superior natural scenery
and rugged beauty of our route. The
Chasseurs will leave at 8 o'clock this
morning in a body.
HUGH DE PAYENS DEPART.
The Hugh de Payens commandery.
No. 19. of Easton, which excited much
admiration during the parade Tuesday
by their excellent marching and drill
movements, left at 5 o'clock yesterday
afternoon on a speciul trlan. In ac
cordance with a rule of this command
ery which requires that the command
cry upon leaving a town to march to
their train in a body, the members pro
ceeded to their cars on Lackawanna
uvenue in full dress uniform at 3.45
yesterday afternoon. This rule Is
strictly adhered, to and moreover they
domunjd that every member whom they
take out with them on an Itinerary
shall return with the commandery or
present a proper explanation for not so
doing.
The high standing which the com
mandery enjoys in Its own city is wit
nessed by the fact that It is customary
for the citizens to tender them a pub.
lie reception upon their return from a
conclave. They will be given a ban.
quet on their arrival lu Easton to
night; probable In consideration of the
fact that they bring with them the
new grand commander of the state,
Right Eminent Sir Samuel 8. Yohe, a
member of Hugh de Payens, elected In
this city yesterday. The commandery
left the city at 5 o'clock on a special

Evidence That Was Offered Yetler
dayVerdict Taken in the Martha
Pritcbard Case.
An appeal from the decision of Regis
ter of Wills Hopkins la on trial before
Judge Gunster and a jury in court
room No. 2. It Is In the Rachel Francis
will contest. The decedent lived in
Providence and died there two yenrs
ago. She left a will, made In 1SS4. dis
posing of her estate, which Is worth
about $15,000. and in that will she dis
inherited Evan M. Francis, one of het
children.
He attacked the will before Register
Hopkins on two grounds; one that she
was not of sound memory when she
made It, and the other that she mar
ried a man named John Williams after
she made It, which fact. It true, would
Invalidate the . document. The case
was tried before the register and was
contested with all the legal skill that
the disinherited sou could obtain.
Eventually the decision was against
him and the will was sustained.
His next step was to take an appeal
to the orphans' court from the deci
sion of the register, and after a hearing
and argument. Judge Archbald decid
ed that there were questions of fact
Involved in the case, which should be
submitted to a Jury: accordingly, he
Issued an order framing an Issue to be
tried in common pleas court and Evan
M. Francis was named as plaintiff and
James E. Francis and Elizabeth Beule,
the two beneficiaries under the will,
were named as defendants. Attorneys
Hulslander & Vosburg represent the
plaintiff in the trial and Attorneys
John F. Scragg and George W. Beale,
the defendants. The case will be fin
ished this morning.
PLAINTIFF'S SIDE OF CASE.
The plaintiff's side of the case con
sisted principally of offering In evidence
the testimony taken before Register
Hopkins. Rev. William Edgar, of the
Providence Methodist Episcopal
church, was called to the stand by the
defendants and produced the church
record of marriages, deaths nnd births.
He found that on No. 12, 1S70, Thomas
Williams and Rachel M. Francis wero
united In marriage by Rev. W. J. Juad.
then pastor of the' church.
It was then shown that Williams
lived with her three or four years and
left for Patagonia, South America. He
never wrote home, but It was under
stood that he was, and for all they
now know, is still alive there. The
plaintiff claims thut about Christmas
time, 1886, his mother and John Fran
cis were married. The defendants ad
mit that John Francis lived at the
house for awhile, but deny that he was
married. James E. Francis testified
that he turned John Francis out when
he heard the latter was reported to b
his stepfather. A neighbor named
Dlesllne was sworn and he said thut
the decedent was nt his house one day
nnd he accosted her with. .. lo Gehts,
Mrs. Francis?" and she disavowed be
ing1 Mrs. Francis. Thin was when
Francis lived at her house.

ley will go to the lurv today. The evl
denee Is all In and argument will be

counted for what Mr. Steere claims
