GRAND PARADE OF THE ORDER. Many Hundreds of Knights in Vale ferm-Fine Music and a Fine Display Under a Clear Sky, but on Maddy Thoroughfares. Though the promise was bad on Monday night as the white flakes fell thick and fast and Old Probabilities predicted rain to follow, yet, with that perversity which has characterized the clerk of the weather for months past, he concluded to dizappoint his prophet and yesterday's sun rose clear and bright to greet the advent of the Knights whose motto is the sun of human virtues--Fidelity, Honor, Valor. F. But for the mud Old Sol's rays produced as be rode toward the zenith and the snow vanished before his smile, no finer time for a parade could have been found, the rawish wind being just sufficiently so to make marching a pleasant task.

Early in the day already the streets were alive with people who eagerly watched the various castles and commanderies, as, preceded by band or drum corps, they marched up from the depots or from one castle headquarters to the other. At ten o'clock the Grand Officers, escorted by the local committee of arrangements and beaded by the Allentown Band, marched to Music Hall, at Sixth and Linden streets, where delegates from almost all of the castles in the State were already assembled. After listening to one of the band's fine selections, Sir Knight Morris J. Stephens, chairman of the local committee of arrangements, introduced, in a few appropriate 'remarks, Sir Knight H. W.

Allison, the mayor of the city, who welcomed the Golden Eagles to the town in his usual able style. He said this was most pleasing duty which had, at this time, been assigned bim, and in the name of the people whose representative he was, he bade the Graud Castle and all the visiting knights welcome. Then, after speaking of the city; its advantages, its prospects and the desire of its people to be well thought of as hospitable and progressive; he once more assured the visitors that though many bodies--beneficial, commercial and met here in recent years, none had been more welcome than were those whom he now addressed -members of AD order the growth and popularity of which were marvelous and only to be accounted for upon the supposition that its performances were as good, as its aims were high and noble. Grand Chief A. C.

Lyttle, of Altoona, responded briefly, but eloquently, to Mayor Allison's welcome, saying it was a pleas are to answer to so hearty and clearly sincere a welcome, and he was glad the delegates of the order were permitted to hold their fourteenth annual session in Allentown--the contemplated Holy City of the Moravian exiles, who laid it out on a hill like Jerusalem and surrounded it with Biblical towns and streams. This fact lent additional charm to the visit since the history and purposes of the Knights of the Golden Eagle were identifled with the senes hundreds of years ago there enacted for the beneft of the human raco. He hoped and believed the stay of the Knights in a city of such associations and which had given them so hearty a welcome would be both agreeable and profitable. After another selection by the band, and the dismissal of such of the audience as were not entitled to be present, the Grand Castle was formally opened by the Grand Chief. The other officers present were: Past Grand Chief, Louis E.

Stilz, Philadelphia; Grand Vice Chief, Davis Casselberry, Philadelphia; Grand Sir Herald, D. D. Blauch, Johnstown; Grand High Priest, Harry J. Whitzell, Philadelphia; Grand Master of Recorda, J. D.

Simon, Philadelphia; Trustees, Dr. W. H. Senderling, Philadelphia; William A. Weigel, Rogersford; F.

A. Harris, Tyrone. Representatives were present from the 355 Castles in the States. The Committee on Re turns and Credentials submitted their report, and the Past Chief's Degree was conferred on a number of Sir Knights from all sections of the State. Grand Chief A.

C. Lyttle then read his annual report, which was referred to a Committee, consisting of Past Chiefs F. A. Harris, of Tyrone, Jobn H. Ritter, of Freemansburg, and Frank H.

Stover, of Doylestown. Decisions were referred to the Committee on Law, A. R. Tomlinson, Philadelphia, Chairman. The following is synopsis: The Grand Chief says: "To say that I am glad to again meet with you in this annual session, would but feebly express my feelings, I am glad to look into your friendly faces and clasp your hand's as true and valiant Knights.

And as I look back through the year and see the progress of our beloved Order, I feel, that truly God has been good to us, and surely deserves the sincere gratitude of our hearts." On April 4, 1889, upon assuming charge of the Order, there were 309 Castles with a membership of 32,000. During the year ending April 1, 46 Castles were instituted, making a total of 355 Castles, and a membership of nearly 85,000. During the year he visited 68 Castles and met delegations of thousands of Sir Knights representing over 200 Castles. He devoted 70 days to traveling in the State in visiting and instituting Castles, In big recommendations he advocates Ladies' Degree; adoption of resolutions to the Supreme Castle to further elaborate the ritualistic work, and the appointment of a Committee to do operate with the Local Committee to make the parade and reception in Pittaburg in May great success. He concludes as follows: "Let us all feel the importance of individual effort, and individual responsibility, and may the Great Chief of the Universe continue to smile upon us in the future as be has in the past." The following is an abstract from the annual report of the Grand Master of Records, J.

D. Barnes, which exhibits the growth of the Order during the past year, both as to finances and membership, which was referred to a Committee consisting of Past Chiefs C. B. Wool, of Philadelphia, D. Grey Lewis, of Tresokow, and John W.

Con- rad, of Pottsviile. He says: "New Castles have been erected, old ones have been strengthened and built up, and thousands of young men have gained admission through our gates. We have been exceedingly prosperous during the past there is every indication that this prosperity will continue. Our high standard of membership has been maintained." During the year he visited 123 Castles, including the 82 Castles in Philadelphia. In conformity with a request of Grand Chief A.

C. Lyttle, Schools of Instructions of the ritualistic work were held in many districts adjacent to Philadelphia, and in the latter city rehearsals were held. Thirty -five schools and thirty-three rehearsals were held, at which 133 Castles were represented. Forty. nine Castles were instituted during the year ending December 31, 1889, 7,230 candidates admitted, the membership increased 2,542, making the total membership on December 31, 1889, 33,443.

The Knights of the Golden Eagle, as they tramped valiantly through the mud yesterday, looked every inch worthy of their noble motto: Fidelity, Honor, Valor. The Juvenile Band of Renovo, who Accompanied Crescent Commandery, of Lock Havenmade excellent music and attracted not a little attention. The juvenile drum major was the cynosure of all eyes -the ladies' eyes especially--and the way in which he handled his baton would have done credit to the tallest of his kind. Reading's Ringgold, with their monster new drum, received much praise for their cellent music. People along the line quite frequently applauded as they listened to the sweet strains.

Give "Little Lork" the cake in the line of drum corps. Without meaning in the least to disparage any of the others, those trousered boys from "York City" made the most delightful martial music it has yet been our privilege to listen to. They were not big in numbers, but their music was not on that account the less fine. The Pioneer Band, of Catasauqua, made a very natty appearance in their blue uniforms, and their music was very superior. The Iron Borough can be proud of its very excellent musical organization.

We cannot say, we admire the uniform of the Fairview Band, of Bethlehem. However, that has nothing to do with their music, which is of the best. And while speaking of bands, we must not forget Philadelphia's Weccacoe, than which there are few better. In fact, we do not remember ever to have seen a parade in which there were so many excellent musical organizations as in that of yesterday. There is but one word to be written across the history of yesterday's WASHINGTON GOSSIP.

Two Adjoining Residences on WalnutStreet Robbed Yesterday. A DEFAULTER HEARD FROM. William I. Cressen, Conshohocken's Bank Defaulter, Gives His Brother Power of Attorney, and Makes More Trouble. The old racket of robbing houses while the inmates are away from home viewing parade was again worked successfully in this city yesterday, When Mrs.

Silas Lentz, who resides at 806 Walnuts returned to her home after the K. G. E. parade, she found the house upside down. The bureau drawers had been ransacked and the contents were promiscuously scattered over the floor.

The secret drawer in Mr. Lentz's secretary had been pried open and the money contained therein was missing, although bonds which were in the same drawer remained undisturbed. The gold-headed cane and umbrella which stood close by, where the thief, or thieves, could not help but observe them, were not taken, though other articles of value were. They, no doubt, deemed them useless. All the money in the house, including a few pennies which were in a pretty purse which was recently presented to a son, Ray, were taken together with the purse, Mrs.

Lentz is sure that the kitchen door through which the robbers effected an entrance was locked when she left the house, so it is almost a certainty that the door was opened by means of a skeleton key. One door above Silas Lentz's house, No. 808 Walnut street the family of Mr. Repp resides. They were among the number who enjoyed the parade as it passed along Hamilton-street, but when they arrived home they were soon in anything but an enviable frame of mind.

The interior of their domicile presented an appearance almost the counter. part of the Lentz home, and a glance was sufficient to convince them that strange hands had intruded among the household goods during their short absence. A search through the house revealed the fact that ten dollars in money aud a very pretty watch chain which Mrs. Repp bad presented to her husband on his last birthday, were gone. The thieves entered the house in the same manner as they entered the one adjoining.

NORRISTOWN, April -A power of attorney from William Henry Cresson, the fugitive cashier of the Tradesman's National Bank, of Conshohocken, to his brother, B. Frank Cresson, of Conshohocken, has been recorded in the Recorder of Deeds office by counsel for the latter. The document was" executed in New York on December 4, 1880, about five weeks after the defaulter's flight. It bears the name of Charles A. Reed, Notary Public, and was witnessed by Francis Feunimore.

The appearance of the power of attorney comes at an opportune time, as the Directors of the Tradesman's bank have served notice upon the various companies and associations in which Cresson was stockholder to disclose the amount of stock he held and pay it over to them to aid in the liquidation of some of the missing cashier's defalcations. The instrument empowers B. Frank Cresson to defend any and all actions, suits, or proceedings that may be brought against William Henry Cresson, or that may involve any interest whatever to him belonging to settle, compromise, and compound any differences of any kind existing between him and any person, persons, corporation or corporations. Bartholemew Listens to a Prayer. Some time ago John Moser, of Lehigh Gap, wrote to Bartholomew, his brother-in-law, to know 'if he would receive him in case he should call at the prison.

It took the prisoner a whole day to decide whether or no he would give his brother-in-law an audience. Finally he concluded to do so, and Mr. Moser called this morning. It is understood that the visitor bad a double purpose in view; he wished to induce Bartholomew to make a confession of the murder of Aaron W. Dilliard, and then to gain some information as to the death, or cause of death, of bis (Bartholomew's) wife, Mr.

Moser's wife and the condemned man's wife were sisters, and Moser' family, as well as many others in that section of the country, surmise that Bartholomew caused his wife's death either by administering poison or in some other foul manner. When Mr. Moser asked Bartholomew about the death of his wife, Bartholomew said, sometimes things happened in our family that should not have Mr. Moser then asked whether he should pray for Bartholomew. The latter gave assent and listened attentively while Moser prayed.Easton Express, No Attempted Assassination.

There is no truth in the report that an tempt at assassination bad been made on Saturday evening, at the residence of. Rev. Bartholomew, pastor of St. John's Lutheran church. Early in the evening Mrs.

Bartholomew was sitting by the table in the sitting room when one of the window panes was broken by a small stone thrown by one of a party of boys playing in the street. Some time ago one of the windows was broken by a bullet from a small flobert rifle. These are the facts from which was manufactured the sensational story. -Easton Free Press, "Easter That Laid Aplenty.

Fiddler Smith's Crime Will Result in a Double Tragedy. NEWARK, April seems highly probable that the horrible crime committed by Fiddler Smith at Hermann's hat factory here will result in a double tragedy. George Hastings, one of his victims, is already dead, and the other, Frederick Butler, is a critical condition and suffering terribly from an ugly stab wound near the heart. Hastings and Butler, in company with a score of other workmen, were employed about the kettles in the plank room, amid dense cloud of steam, when Smith suddenly appeared by Hastings' side. "You have called me a fool, and I want you to.

prove it," cried the new comer. "Go away and leave me alone!" replied Hastings, resuming his work. Smith would not be put off, and further accused Hastings of causing him to be imprisoned for assaulting Frank Chawatski, eighteen months ago. Hastings again told Smith to go away and not bother him, when the latter drew a big, keen bladed shoe knife and plunged it into Hastings' abdomen, clean up to the hilt. "Help! He's got a knife!" cried Hastings.

Butler rushed to his assistance, when Smith turned upon him, and exclaiming, "I'll give it to you, too!" sank the blade into his left side, near the heart, breaking off the knife in the wound against one of his ribs. Hastings died at the City hospital immediately after identifying his assailant, who is now in jail. Both Hastings and Butler were 60 years old. Smith is 54, and has a bad record. Smith was arraigned before Justice Rodrigo and remanded without bail to wait the action of the grand jury.
