Old Rome Boy.
Pittaburgh, Penn ,Oct 12, 1898
_ Yesterday I l«d th* pleasure of
viewing the longest and most bril
liant parade f ever witnessed.
For three hcure and * half I
gtood aud watched the pageant as
it in )Ved out Forbes street to
the reviewing stand near Schenley
Pirk.
Ttie was the annual parade giv
en by the Knights Templar of the
United States. There were ap
proximately fourteen thcueand
Knights in parade. There were
fifty-seven bauds averaging thirty
musicians each. One band and
drum c rp- had ninety-three men
combined. This took up nearly
g b'ock.
The Knights were gayly plumed
aud bedecked and marched and
counter marched in all sorts of
figures
Th> best commauderiM I thought,
and io did every oi.e else, was the
Detroit and Pittsburgh. The
former is considered the crack
cimmaodery of the Uni ed S a tea
They marched in circles, squares,
crone*, in capital l-itere and
every other way one can think of.
As the Knights moved cut the
line of march they were greeted
with cheers and the waving of
bankerchiefs.
The most biau'iful commandery
was the Califuru ia. Each Knight
mde a spirited horee which seemed
to prance and dance with tbs
music. Thue were fully five hun
dred msn in his commandery . The
costumes of each Knight cost
♦1 760. There cloaks and caps
■JVtrd made cf the finest vehet.
My poor pen is inadequate to de
scribe the beauty and splendor
tb'g commandery presented. It
was a sight I will not soon forget.
It took two hours for the proce?
sioutotorm. It was four miles
•nd a half long and marched a dis
tance of ten miles. They w»re
nearly four hours in passing a
given point
To try toenumerats the different
electrical effects one sees at night
weuld take pages. One particu
l«ry pretty effect is the American

is at the top of a large building

thr-e times and appeared between

Mr. Herbert is very popular here,

One Wealthy Merchant Kills
Another.
OLD FEUD ENDS IN A
Quarrel and I'ragouy Near
Jackson, Kentucky.
Juckson, Ky., Oct. 15.—A
tragedy, in which two rival
merchants of wealth and excel,
lent social standing engaged,
with the result that one shot and
instantly killed the,other with a
Winchester rifle, occurred late
Thursday near Cricketsville, this
county.
For years Edward Callahan
and James G. Deaton had been
involved in p< tty quarrels and
altercations, Yesterday they
met on a gravel bar near Dea.
ton’s home, at which time Dea
ton had come down to warn
Callahan not to roll logs over
his river bank.
A quarrel ensued, and Calla
han who, was armed, shot Dea
ton down.
Callahan has been prominent
as the reputed leader of the se
cret organization which opposed
the Red Strings, and out of
whose troubles many bloody
tragedies have occurred.
He is a man of fine personal
appearance and of large influ
ence in the community.
Deaton had a large train of
connections throughout bis
section, was a shrewd financier,
and had amassed quite a large
fortune. He owned a large area
of land, besides a large general
store, and for years past had
dme a thriving business. Ex
citement prevails and trouble is
feared.
TOO MANY DIVORCES.
Indiana Protestants Will Peti
tion for a Remedy.
Munsie, Ind., Oct. 15.—Mem
bers of all the Protestant church
es here are preparing a petition
to the next State Legislature,
asking that the granting of di
vorces be made much more dif
ficult.
Late statistics show the re
markable number of marriages
and the enormoas percentage
which have proved failures.
Within the state 23,883 mar
riages have been consu mated
within the last yerr, and 2,960
divorces granted. Os the 480
license granted in Delaware
county within the past year 99
or one fifth have proved fail
ures.
