Tho Knights Templars. Associated Press, St. Louis, September 23.—Notwithstanding the fact that the morning broke clear and warm, and that the parade postponed from Tuesday was to occur at 11 o’clock, the crowds on the street early this morning were much smaller than on previous mornings this week. The social festivities of last evening were most directly responsible for this condition of affairs. By 9 o’clock, however, citizens and visitors began to emerge from their resting places, and available points of observation along the line of march were soon occupied by a mass of jovial, paj tient, perspiring spectators. Last night’s and this morning’s outgoing trains carried many departing knights and visitors, although the exodus was not sufficiently large to work any appreciable diminution of the crowds on the streets. The participants in the parade were prompt in their movements, and began to report at the rendezvous even before the hour announced. All the streets in the lower portion of the city were fairly alive with the moving battalions, accompanied by gaily caparisoned bands. At the hour of eleven the signal for the start was given. By this time, the crowds along the line of march were so dense that all forms of locomotion were rendered extremely difficult. Scores of stands erected on vacant lots and in front of buildings were crowded chiefly with gaily dressed ladies and children. Along the lower portion of the route the windows in three miles of business houses werejammed with people,who had selected these points of observation. The procession was headed by a platoon of mounted police, which cleared the way for its progress. Secretary Lamar’s Coming Marriage Associated Press. • Washington, September 23.—Secretary Lamar’s romance is out. He is up in New Hampshire wooing his first love. Ostensibly he is getting ready an address on John C. Calhoun. Actually he is renewing his courtship of long years ago with a Georgia widow. It is quietly talked in his family circle that Mr. Lamar is averse) to continuing a widower any longer than is absolutely necessary, and has shaped his affairs for a marriage late this fall or early in the winter. Hi: attachment for the lady in question r ltedated his first marriage, but a lover’s quarrel parted them. Two years difference in the age of the secretary and his prospective bride will not prove an insurmountable obstacle. A handsome foitune brought to Mr. Lamar’s establishment will not lessen the pleasures of social life in Washington. Early in the summer the future Mrs. Lamar left her home in Macon for a sojourn with old friends in a New England village. As soon as publie business would permit the secretary joined her, and the twain are now in the neighborhood ofBethlehem, N. H. This, the second matrimonial venture of Mr. Lamar, has not yet become public property, but it is discussed among his intimate friends, and some say he will not wait for an elaborate wedding, but when he gets back to his desk at the interior department will bring his bride along. Secretary Manning’s Probable Successor. Associated Press. Washington, September 23.—The rumors of Mr. Manning’s retirement from the cabinet are, of course, followed by speculations as to who will succeed him. The only gentlemen prominently mentioned for the place are Acting Secretary) Fairchild “of New York, exSenator Joseph McDonald, of Indiana, and Hon. Wm. E. Scott, of Pennsylvania. The probabilities point most largely to the first of these three. The appointment of Mr. Fairchild would be in line with the president’s theory of promotion for faithful service in public life. The chief obstacle to his appointment lies in the fact that Mr. Cleveland, having made up his mind to obtain a renomination, would be loth to give so important a position to one carrying^so few political guns. The appointment would no t strengthen him materially in New York, where Mr. Fairchild, though considered a rising and clever young man, has no special personal following. here and committed to the countyjail by Justice Pence yesterday. While on the way to the county seat with the prisoner the constable was overpowered by a number of armed men who took Flowers from custody and carried the negro a short distance and shot him to death.

Naples, September 23.—A new street of tombs ha: been distovered at Pompeii, near the east side of the ancient city. A FARMER’S MISHAP. Mr. Minnix Loses $270 on Austin Street* Mr. G. W. Minnix, a farmer, who lives in the southern portion of Hill cqunty, near ;he McLennan county line, came to the city this morning. He was paid something over $340 in East Waco, due him by Mr. Faulkner, the merchant. Coming west of the river he went to W. M. Kellett’s store and paid a debt of about $50 he owed there. Placing the roll of money(all greenbacks) in a small paper sack, which he put in his pocket, he started for Sam Novich’s store, on Austin street near the plaza, where he intended to pay another debt. He lost the sack of money somewhere on Austin street, for when he reached Novich’s store and reached in his pocket for his cash it was gone. He says he feels certain it must have dropped out somewhere on the street. With him were two or three friends and acquaintances, from his section of country. After searching up and down the street Mr. Minnix reported his loss to City Marshal Moore. The officers have done all in their power to aid Mr. Minnix in his search, but to no avail. The parties who were with him asked that their persons might be searched, to relieve them of suspicion. A onearmed man, whose name the reporter was unable to learn, says he saw the roll of money drop from Mr. Minnix’s pocket and that it was picked up by a tall man, without any coat, wearing a brown hat and pants stuffed in his boot legs. This man, the onearmed man says, turned from Austin street into Fifth and walked rapidly away. The sum lost by Mr. Minnix is between $265 and $270, all in S’s, 10’s and 20’s.* Mr. Minnix says he will give $50 for the return of the money, and no questions .will be asked. He is a poor man, worked hard for the money, and is in debt. Merchants here who know Mr. Minnix assure The Day that he is an honest, reliable man. Willing to Compromise “Will you please give me a dime?” said a tramp. “I’m blind.” “You can see out of one eye as well as I can,” replied the gentleman importuned. “You are only half blind.” •‘Then give me half a dime,” said the tramp.

Call at Mrs. Doss’, South Fourth St. Louis, September 22.—Deputy Sheriff Skidmore arrived here today having in charge the once famous Martin Irons, leader of the great southwest strike last spring, and delivered him'into the custody of the jailer. Irons was arrested in Kansas City because his bondsmen here refused to longer continue on his bond in the wire tapping conspiracy case. Irons presents a woebegone appearance. His clothes hang in tatters on him and he looks ten years older than he did last spring. He says he has been sought out and persecuted wherever he went. Though trying in eveiy way to make an honest living, he could do nothing. He makes no complaint against any one, however, and seems to be resigned to suffer for all his own sins as well as the sins he committed for others. There is some surprise that Irons is so deserted by all his old friends, and some hotly claim that Irons is made a scapegoat to suffer for the rashness of the men who forced him to call the strike. Washington, September 22.—The workmen engaged today in tearing the plumbing out of Secrefary Manning’s private office found in a little closet in a corner a pipe four inches in diameter, besides several small pipes, leading directly to a sewer without, and a trap or contrivance to prevent the sewer gas from coming into the room. These pipes strike the sewer just at its head, where the greatest amount of gas is formed. In the winter, when the doors and windows were shut the air was most oppressive, and sometimes in the coldest weather Mr. Manning was forced to open the window. His physicianspronounce his disease blood poisoning from sewer gas, and say it was brought on beyond doubt by his sitting in that little room. Rusk, September 22.—Burnett and Mulky, the Texas evangelists, closed a most successful meeting here last night. The meeting has been in progress for one week. Great crowds from the town and county came to hear them. There were 156 penitents and over fiftysix conversions and reclamations. Great good has been done in this town and county. T Galveston, September 22.—Wiggins’ absurd prediction published this morning to the effect that Galveston, Houston, San Antonio and other cities were to be visited by an extraordinary earthquake on the 29th of this month created no apparent uneasiness here, but the prediction has been the subject of many jocose sayings on the street. Wiggins can’t scare Galvestonians. They know he is an arrant fraud, because he predieted a hurricane of the “first magnitilde” for Galveston on March 10, 1883, but that day was pleasant and balmy. The fall equinox has brought with it a decidedly rainy spell. It has rained here for the past three days, the rain today registering 1.42 inches. So far this month 6.84 inches of rain has fallen in Galveston. In September of last year, from the 1st to the 20th, occurred the heavest rain fall of which Galveston has any record, the register being 26.01 inches. Mrs. Marie Farreau, one of the early settlers of Galveston, who arrived in the city September, 1833, died yesterday morning in the 99th year of her age, and was buried this afternoon from the residence of Mrs. A. O. Girard, corner of TwentySixth) and Winnie, with whom she has been living"for the past eleven years. The deceased came from France to this country, and her husband died here in the early days of Galveston. Fort* Worth, September 22.—Day before yesterday there arrived in this city from the state of Maine a man named Geo. Nelson, apparently fifty years of age. He was dressed in a modest manner, and from his appearance he would be taken for a railroad man. He had been in the city but a short time before he was in consultation with Marshal'Rea, whom he asked to assist h’m in recovering his child which he believed was somewhere in Fort Worth. He stated in detail to the officer that he wr.s a miner, and at times a sporting man. That several years ago he left his wife and child at his home in Maine and went into the Black Hills country. He returned home a few months ago, and was astonished to learn that his wife had abandoned )her home and eloped with another man, carrying the child with her. He traced his wife and her companion to Fort Worth, and after a short search found her and the man she eloped with living together as man and wife. The man in the case is a well known restaurateur here, being proprietor of the finest restaurant in the city. The peopie here have regarded the woman with whom he has been living as his wife, and have treated her as such. The developments in the case have created quite a ripple in the city. Beaumont, September 22.—The following call for another democratic state convention has been issued: Whereas, The monopolists and their tools, the whisky ring and its agents, the pojiticians who are democrats for office only, and the corporations of the state of Texas, all combined and captured the democratic convention, socalled, held at Galveston, Aug. 10, 1886, and believing they, the aforesaid monopolists, whisky rin:v ” PTilCE o CENTS. ticians and corporations, instead of representing the true and best interests of the people, are directly organized against them: Therefore, we, the undersigned life long democrats, hereby call upon the democrats of Texas, and all others who are interested in a pure and representative government opposed to all class favoritism, to select delegates and meet in convention at the city of Dallas at ; o’clock p. m. October 7, 1886, to then nominate a state ticket and adopt such platform as they see fit. Then follows the outline of a platform covering all the views of the opposition, We suggest that the proper basis of representation in this convention shal. be two votes from each county, regardless of population, and one vote for every 5,000 inhabitants, or majority fraction of 5,000. Hal W. Greer, President Jefferson Club, of Beaumont, Texas. W. B. Crawford, Secretary Jefferson Club. Signed by order ot AntiMonopolist Club.' P. Jordan, President. Signed also by mahy citizens of Collin, Dallas, Tarrant, Cooke, Grayson, Jefferson, Parker and other counties. NO RESULT. The City’s Condemnation Case Against Moore’s Property. The legal steps, on the part of the city, looking to the condemnation of a strip of land along the rear of Mr. James I. Moore’s Austin street property, for alley purposes, were inaugurated today. The three commissioners appointed to inspect the property and assess damages were Messrs. D. S. Wood, James B. Baker and Jno. V. Smith. Ten o’clock this morning was the hour set for the meeting of the commissioners, who had made a careful inspection of the premises some time ago. A number of witnesses had been summoned by each side. At ten o’clock Messrs. Wood ank Baker, of the commission, were present but Mr. Smith was absent. He is in St. Louis and is not expected home until Saturday or Sunday. It was decided to adjourn the meeting until two o’clock this afternoon. When the hour of 2 o’clock came Mr. D. iS. Wood, Mr. Moore, City Attorney Blair, Mr. Wm. Edmonds and several orher gentlemen who had been summoned as witnesses were present, but Mr. James B. Baker, the second member of the commission, did not make his appearance. After waiting for him some tim'e, the meeting adjourned until 2 o’clock next Monday afternoon, at which time it is believed Messrs. Baker and Smith can both be present. IN A NUTSHELL. Terrell’s Speeches Boiled Down to a Very Honest Talk. San Antonio Express. “Oh, the poor farmers! How my heart is wrung until it exudes great drops of sympathetic tears of blood for you as I see you ground down by the remorseless railroad corporations, who exact excessive tolls to enable them to pay dividends upon their watered stock. Oh, the poor laborer in the e.nploy of the soulless railroad corporation; you, too, are suffering, working at reduced wages that these watered shares may be made to pay increased dividends to tbeir rich hoiders! Oh, the poor everybody! How my soul yearns to rush to your relief from the degrading thralldom of watered stock, strike down your shackles and free you from excessive charges to meet dividends on stock for which no equivalent was given! Let me tackle the giant monopoly, tne cormorant corporation (as a U. S. senator), and strengthen me (with $5000 a year and perquisites) for the mighty struggle with the people’s foe!” Missing a Chance. “John,” said the wife of a Dakota settler when he came home from a trip to town, “old Bill is dead at last. “Well, that’s good. I ’lowed when I turned him out in the pasture the other day that if he didn’t die ’fore winter I’d have to shoot him. It don’t pay to keep a hoss when it gets as old and feble as he was. He ’peared extra weak this morning.” “Oh, he didn’t die that way. Some Chicago hunters came long and shot him by mistake.” “Shot him, hey! Well, that’s blame smart! How much did you get for him?” “Why, I told ’em it was all right, that we wanted him to die.” “Great thunder, woman, don’t you know nothing’? Why in blazes didn’t you tell ’em he was our family buggy hoss and worth $150? Great snakes! it seems as it women never had no bis’ness ’bout ’em nohov. You might just as well of told ’em thathe was a blooded hoss and that yer husband was county sheriff, and got $100 of good, honest money.” Is This the Bomb Thrower. Chicago, Sept. 16.—The rumor that Schnaubelt has been located was traced to H. F. Schaffer, an exconductor of the Mexican Central railroad, who arrived here from Mexico a day or two since. Schaffer claims to have seen in the City of Mexico a man corresponding exactly to the published portraits of Schnaubelt, the supposed bomb thrower. Schaffer says he was working as a jeweler in a shop on the grand plaza. It is repotted but not confirmed that the police have communicated with the consul at the City of Mexico and that Schnaubelt may be already under arrest. Dress Making Miss Zella Douglass and Miss Emma Davidson have resumed dress making for the season, at the corner of Fourth and Washington streets, over the office of the Waco Street Railway company, where they will be pleased to see their old customers and any others who may wish firstclass work, and satisfaction guaranteed.—916im* All the latest styles in photos at Deane’s only $3 per dozen.

Call at Mrs. Doss’, South Fourth St. Louis, September 22.—Deputy Sheriff Skidmore arrived here today having in charge the once famous Martin Irons, leader of the great southwest strike last spring, and delivered him'into the custody of the jailer. Irons was arrested in Kansas City because his bondsmen here refused to longer continue on his bond in the wire tapping conspiracy case. Irons presents a woebegone appearance. His clothes hang in tatters on him and he looks ten years older than he did last spring. He says he has been sought out and persecuted wherever he went. Though trying in eveiy way to make an honest living, he could do nothing. He makes no complaint against any one, however, and seems to be resigned to suffer for all his own sins as well as the sins he committed for others. There is some surprise that Irons is so deserted by all his old friends, and some hotly claim that Irons is made a scapegoat to suffer for the rashness of the men who forced him to call the strike. Washington, September 22.—The workmen engaged today in tearing the plumbing out of Secrefary Manning’s private office found in a little closet in a corner a pipe four inches in diameter, besides several small pipes, leading directly to a sewer without, and a trap or contrivance to prevent the sewer gas from coming into the room. These pipes strike the sewer just at its head, where the greatest amount of gas is formed. In the winter, when the doors and windows were shut the air was most oppressive, and sometimes in the coldest weather Mr. Manning was forced to open the window. His physicianspronounce his disease blood poisoning from sewer gas, and say it was brought on beyond doubt by his sitting in that little room. Rusk, September 22.—Burnett and Mulky, the Texas evangelists, closed a most successful meeting here last night. The meeting has been in progress for one week. Great crowds from the town and county came to hear them. There were 156 penitents and over fiftysix conversions and reclamations. Great good has been done in this town and county. T Galveston, September 22.—Wiggins’ absurd prediction published this morning to the effect that Galveston, Houston, San Antonio and other cities were to be visited by an extraordinary earthquake on the 29th of this month created no apparent uneasiness here, but the prediction has been the subject of many jocose sayings on the street. Wiggins can’t scare Galvestonians. They know he is an arrant fraud, because he predieted a hurricane of the “first magnitilde” for Galveston on March 10, 1883, but that day was pleasant and balmy. The fall equinox has brought with it a decidedly rainy spell. It has rained here for the past three days, the rain today registering 1.42 inches. So far this month 6.84 inches of rain has fallen in Galveston. In September of last year, from the 1st to the 20th, occurred the heavest rain fall of which Galveston has any record, the register being 26.01 inches. Mrs. Marie Farreau, one of the early settlers of Galveston, who arrived in the city September, 1833, died yesterday morning in the 99th year of her age, and was buried this afternoon from the residence of Mrs. A. O. Girard, corner of TwentySixth) and Winnie, with whom she has been living"for the past eleven years. The deceased came from France to this country, and her husband died here in the early days of Galveston. Fort* Worth, September 22.—Day before yesterday there arrived in this city from the state of Maine a man named Geo. Nelson, apparently fifty years of age. He was dressed in a modest manner, and from his appearance he would be taken for a railroad man. He had been in the city but a short time before he was in consultation with Marshal'Rea, whom he asked to assist h’m in recovering his child which he believed was somewhere in Fort Worth. He stated in detail to the officer that he wr.s a miner, and at times a sporting man. That several years ago he left his wife and child at his home in Maine and went into the Black Hills country. He returned home a few months ago, and was astonished to learn that his wife had abandoned )her home and eloped with another man, carrying the child with her. He traced his wife and her companion to Fort Worth, and after a short search found her and the man she eloped with living together as man and wife. The man in the case is a well known restaurateur here, being proprietor of the finest restaurant in the city. The peopie here have regarded the woman with whom he has been living as his wife, and have treated her as such. The developments in the case have created quite a ripple in the city. Beaumont, September 22.—The following call for another democratic state convention has been issued: Whereas, The monopolists and their tools, the whisky ring and its agents, the pojiticians who are democrats for office only, and the corporations of the state of Texas, all combined and captured the democratic convention, socalled, held at Galveston, Aug. 10, 1886, and believing they, the aforesaid monopolists, whisky rin:v ” PTilCE o CENTS. ticians and corporations, instead of representing the true and best interests of the people, are directly organized against them: Therefore, we, the undersigned life long democrats, hereby call upon the democrats of Texas, and all others who are interested in a pure and representative government opposed to all class favoritism, to select delegates and meet in convention at the city of Dallas at ; o’clock p. m.

Terrell’s Speeches Boiled Down to a Very Honest Talk. San Antonio Express. “Oh, the poor farmers! How my heart is wrung until it exudes great drops of sympathetic tears of blood for you as I see you ground down by the remorseless railroad corporations, who exact excessive tolls to enable them to pay dividends upon their watered stock. Oh, the poor laborer in the e.nploy of the soulless railroad corporation; you, too, are suffering, working at reduced wages that these watered shares may be made to pay increased dividends to tbeir rich hoiders! Oh, the poor everybody! How my soul yearns to rush to your relief from the degrading thralldom of watered stock, strike down your shackles and free you from excessive charges to meet dividends on stock for which no equivalent was given! Let me tackle the giant monopoly, tne cormorant corporation (as a U. S. senator), and strengthen me (with $5000 a year and perquisites) for the mighty struggle with the people’s foe!” Missing a Chance. “John,” said the wife of a Dakota settler when he came home from a trip to town, “old Bill is dead at last. “Well, that’s good. I ’lowed when I turned him out in the pasture the other day that if he didn’t die ’fore winter I’d have to shoot him. It don’t pay to keep a hoss when it gets as old and feble as he was. He ’peared extra weak this morning.” “Oh, he didn’t die that way. Some Chicago hunters came long and shot him by mistake.” “Shot him, hey! Well, that’s blame smart! How much did you get for him?” “Why, I told ’em it was all right, that we wanted him to die.” “Great thunder, woman, don’t you know nothing’? Why in blazes didn’t you tell ’em he was our family buggy hoss and worth $150? Great snakes! it seems as it women never had no bis’ness ’bout ’em nohov. You might just as well of told ’em thathe was a blooded hoss and that yer husband was county sheriff, and got $100 of good, honest money.” Is This the Bomb Thrower. Chicago, Sept. 16.—The rumor that Schnaubelt has been located was traced to H. F. Schaffer, an exconductor of the Mexican Central railroad, who arrived here from Mexico a day or two since. Schaffer claims to have seen in the City of Mexico a man corresponding exactly to the published portraits of Schnaubelt, the supposed bomb thrower. Schaffer says he was working as a jeweler in a shop on the grand plaza. It is repotted but not confirmed that the police have communicated with the consul at the City of Mexico and that Schnaubelt may be already under arrest.
