Preparations for Their Reception I'm
New Orleans
The following, from the NeiC Orleans
ReDlJblicdI, will be of interest TO the Nash
vile Knights Templar who propose to visit
that city and attend the great annual gath
ering of the Order early next month:
"Our Knights Templar are using every
effort to make the coming encampment
complete success. They have attained
great proficiency in drill, have organized
the staff. appointed various committees,
and as a body are in complete working or
der. The Grand COmmandery will estab-
lish its headquarters at the ST. Charles Ho-
tel, on the 2oth inst, from which place all
orders will issue. The staff Of the Grand
Commander will consist of the officers OF
the Grand CommandeIy and all Past Grand
Commanders.
ain this connection it is proper to state
that Sir knight Rivers, of the hotel, is in
every way in his power aiding the differ
ent committees in the work of making ar
rangements for the entertainment OF the
Knights who will visit US. For the special
accommodation of 500 Templars coming
from Pennsylvania and the District OF
Columbia, he has secured the st. James
Hotel.
aFrom accounts received from different
States, the assemblage of Knights will be
unusually large.
sAscalOn Commandery, Of St. Louis, has
secured the steamer Great Republic, which
will bring POstleWaite's band, and arrive
here on the 30th inst, wben Past Grand
Commander James F.. Agar, Of Missouri,
will give a reception on board the steamer
at night.
sSt. Louis COmmandery No. 1 will come
by rail by the Iron Mountain road and Mo-
bile, and will bring the band from the arse
nal. including thirty musicians.
GMaynOlia COmmandery No. 2, of Vic1s-
burg, will also put in an appearance. They
will take quarters at Marchals restaurant,
Union street.
~The steamer Thompson Dean has been
chartered by Cairo COmmandeTy No. Is,
and will arrive December 1. The Dean
will he handsomely decorated outside and
in. Application has been made for this
steamer TO lay at the head Of Canal street,
and il is hoped the regular packets will
| make room for her. Besides the Cairo
| Commandery, the Dean will bring the
I Grand Commandery Of Illinois, Tere
| Haute Commandery No. 10, and st. Johns
Commandery No. "a, from LOgansport, Ind.
seThese are but few Of these to come.
Taken for all, this encampment will be
such gathering of femplars as has never
been seen in the South. That they have a
good reception should be the pride Of al
merchants and citizens Of New Orleans,
aside from the Templars, and it is hoped
all will respond freely with means when
called upon by the committees now solicit
ing aid 20 carry out their programme"

A Threatened strike Frustrated by
the Ffrmness OF SuPerIntendent
ThOmas-Three Of the Leaders sent
90 Hail.
Quite 4 cOmmOtiOn was OcclSiOned at
the Chattanooga depot, at , O'Clock yeste--
day afternoon, the time for the leaving Of
the through freight traiIf for Chattanooga.
just as the train was on the point of start
ing, I number Of brakemen gathered around
the cars, ierzed out she coupling pins and
threw them away, fatty refusing TO go
aboard the train or let any one else
take their places. II soon became known
that they were on q strike, and that they
demanded two dollars per day instead Of
fifty dollars per month, their present wages.
About the hour named a second freight
train leaves for Chattanooga, and this had
been made up ready for the trip. To
thwart the men who were en-
deayOring TO prevent its departure,
Superintendent Thomas ordered some
of the mechanics from the shops to stand
guard al The train. Bun this proved Of no
avail, for the mechanics offered no efectual
resistance, and the coupling pins Of this
train were likewise misplaced. Finally,
an hour and a half after the regular time
for leaving, the engine pulled out for the
other end of the road, with two cars Of
live stock, and Conductor Beach managing
the brakes
The dissatisfaction does not seem to be
general, at least it has only manifested
Itself among the brakemen now in the city,
and these do not comprise one-6fth Of the
entire number employed on the road. The
railroad officers say they will never yield to
the demands Of the strikers, and that they
intend to prosecute the ringleaders 70 the
fullest extent Of the law. The officials say
that wages have been reduced on nearly all
the roads throughout the country, their
salaries have been cut down and the brakes
men must share the same fate. 5. h. Ben
nett, Gus Hustin, d. Lappin, j. M. Lap
pin ard j. c. Thompson, the most active
in the movement at the depot yester
day afternoon, were arrested, and two
of them released on bond, the remainder
being sent to Jail. How the affair will end
remains to be seen, out Maj. Thomas and
the other officers of the read deserve praise
for the promptitude and decision they ex-
hibited in the premises, for all law-abiding
citizens will join in denonncing any such
high-handed proceedings as those witnessed
at the depot Yesterday.

QUISENBERRY.
Pooling with Grange Funds.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 20.-Reports have been
in circulation few days, that G. Il. Quis-
enberry, Treasurer of the State Grange of
Missouri, was a defaulter to the amount of
twenty thousand dollars. The Ereniag
Dispatch of to-day, has information it be-
lieved reliable, regarding the matter which
is to the efIect-tnat at the recent meeting,
of the State Grange, at Kansas City, MIR.
Quisenberry was called OH for the whole
sum in the Treasury, twenty thousand dol
lars being wanted TO invest in manufac-
turing. 1t then came out that Quisenberry
had invested the funds of the Grange in
various ways, and that they could hot lie
realized at once. He raised four
thousand dollars cash, and has
sin given to the Executive Board of
the Grange deeds of trust on two farms,
said to be worth eighteen thousand dollars;
executed a bond of personal security,
which has been accepted by the board, and
has agreed to pay the whole amount by
next July.
QuiSenbeTy's friends do not believe he
intended TO defraud the Grange, but think
he simply acted injudiciously in using the
fIInls. Besides the two farms, Quisen-
berry has herd of thoroughbred cattle,
worth over $4,000, and it is not believed
there is any danger of the Grange losing
ANYTHING.

INFORMATION has been received at
che capitol that the Sheriff Of Carroll
county has cast the deciding vote in
the tie between Curtis, Dem, and
Brooks, Rad, for Representative, in
favor of the latter. The vote now
stands: Curtis, 1926; Brooks, 1927.
We understand that Curtis will bring
the matter before the House and make
a contest for the seat; either on the
ground that the spirit of the law does
not authorize such action by the Sheriff,
or because the section in question is
unconstitutional on account of allow
ing the Sheriff to cast two votes for
the same candidate.

HOW TO MAKE NARROw-GAUGE
RAILROADS PAY.

Whatever railroad men may think
about the comparative advantages OF
the ordinary and narrow-gauge. tracks
for freight exclusively or general busl-
ness on great routes If travel. there Is
no doubt that roads built on the mar
row gauge principle can be used to
great profit in new and in mountainous
regions where it would not pay to build
railroads on the old plan. The Monte
rey and Salinas City Railroad IN Cali
fornia affords an excellent illustration
of this fact. The farmers along the
line built the road themselves and put
it in operation. They had previ-
ously made calculations from which
they learned that the people
who would be Accommodated
by it were paying SSSO,OO0 per annum
for the transportation of their crops to
tide water. They ascertained that for
less than this sum they could build a
narrow gauge road from the Salinas
plains to Monterey, a distance Of lo4
miles, together with a wharf at Mon
terey and suitable warehouses. The
result of their enterprise is that they
get their grain carried to tide water
for S2. .25 per ton instead of paying $3.50
as they had been doing. which is a
saving to them of 1885, 900 the trst
year of the roads existence. The ex-
perienee of these California farmers
proves that under favorable conditions
a narrow gauge road can be and has
been built and equipped for less morey
than would have been paid by the peo-
pie of the district through which 1t runs
for freight alone in a single year.

A DUEL In THE DARK.
Two Medical Students Settle a Quar-
rel I'm the Old fashioned iStyIe.

Louisville Courier-JOurnal, Nov 20.
A rather mysterious affair occurred few
nights ago in the Louisville Medical Col
lege building, corner of Fifth and Green
streets. Two of the students have been
paying attention to the same young lady,
wholives but a stones throw from the Med
ical College, and they got into quarrel
with each other about her. 1t was at last
proposed that each take pistol and fight a
duel in dark room in the College build
ing. So the pistols were selected, seconds
chosen, aud the party, when no one was in
the house at night, entered a room and,
locking the door behind them, prepared for
the encounter.
The light was extinguished. and, at a
proper distance from each other, at the
word, each fired. The gas was lit, and an
investigation only proved that the powder
and balls had been wasted. The light was
again extinguished, and again at the word
the pistols were again discharged.
This time one Of the duelests was found
slightly wounded in the left arm. The honor
of the medical gentlemen having been thus
satisfied, the two became friendly again
and shook hands with each other. The af-
fair was kept very quiet, and only leaked
out yesterday morning The students
won't let the two duelists alone now, and
their lives are burden 10 them from the
worry.
