The Knights ConeInve-Instanati of
 CHICAGO, Aug. 2O.-Many of the Knights Templar still remain in the city. After the cooling showers of last night and in the less crowded condition of the streets, the camp and the hotels they are able to enjoy them selves immensely. The camp is not to be entirely abandoned before tomorrow, if in- deed it is then. Following close upon the Sir Knights conclaye come the anti ti-Masons for four days convention. They met yes terday at Carpenter Hall with many promi- nent persons in attendance. Some of them are ex-Masons and delight in exposing the se- crets of the order.
 The conclave met to-day in the Chapter house and installed the new officers, heard the report of the retiring grand master, amended the bylaws and appointed the third Tuesday in August, 1883, for the meet ing in conclave at San Francisco. Several communicates will remain in Chicago over Sunday, but the majority, including those from the Pacific coast left here this evening.
 The anti-Masonic convention continued it's session to-day. The principal mat ter of interest was the reading of letter from General Joseph Phelps, of Brattleboro, Vt., an anti i-Masonic candidate for President, in which he denounced Freemasonry as dan gerous to American liberty. He compared Masonry at the North with Klu Kluxism in the South

 CT Trick.
 PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 2O.-A dispatch was received by the police to-day from Pittsburg which effectually disposes of the stories of the supposed suicide of Dean Buchanan of bogus diploma fame. It seems that instead of being drowned the Doctor" if it was in deed he who jumped from the ferryboat in to the Delaware river, managed to reach the shore alive. This was his scheme and he would have succeeded had he not fell into the tracks of man who had known him in Phil adelphia for the last fifteen years. Although the dean is in Pittsburg, the local authorities of that place are ignorant of his hiding place, which is well watched, however, by the Phil adelphia detectives, who can procure the man when he is wanted The detective who made the discovery claims $500 instead of $15O of fered as the reward for Buchanan's arrest. Last evening Buchanan's s captor sent the fol lowing dispatch.to Chief of Police Irwin:
 PIrTsBURG, Aug. 19. Chief of Police, Philadelphia:
 how much
 An answer was sent informing him that Mrs. Buchanan had that afternoon offered $15O for the recovery of her husbands body, she believing that he had drowned himself Chief Irwin will lose no time in taking steps to have the bogus dean brought to this city. When discovered in Pittsburg Buchanan had dis guised himself sufficiently to mislead any but the most skillful experts. When ap- preached he steadily denied his identity and could not be brought to admit anything until he saw that his ruse was no longer success ful and would have to be abandoned. He re- fused to speak with regard to the plot in which it is clear that Longbotham was his accompice. Public indignation in Philadel- phia is awakened to an unusual extent over tba Tn;r

Hancock Veterans.

A Uniform Adopted-The Reception to
 Ex-Governor English.
 There was large meeting of the Hancock Veteran Legion in Whittlesey's Hall last evening, Dr. E. L. Bissen presiding. Twen- ty-seven new members were received, making the present membership four hundred and sixty-seven.
 The committee on uniforms presented a variety of styles and patterns, and there ap- peared to be considerable difficulty in decid- ing upon what should be adopted. The blouse, felt hat and gold cord, with white belt and name of Hancock Veteran Legion ineribed thereon, appeared to be most in favor, and after considerable discussion such uniform was adopted. For torch it was voted to adopt the swinging kind, which has stick attached four feet in length and costs 9 cents.
 The field officers were appointed a commit tee to secure the uniforms in accordance with the vote passed by the club.
 Frank A. Hermance made a speech in which he urged harmony in the club, and also advocated the idea that the Legion should not be divided into companies, but that they should always parade in body under com mand of the field officers already elected He thought no other officers were necessary This being contrary to the constitution of the Legion, no action was taken.
 From statement made by the president it appeared that the secretary of the club had moved to Westerly, R. l., and the constitu- ton and roll of members he had taken with him. The president was instructed to obtain a list of the members from the files of the newspapers that had publisher them after each meeting.
 The Legion voted to parade on next Tues day evening, on the occasion of the reception to Governor English.
 It was stated by Colonel Tolles that the veterans would be supplied with transpar- ency on that occasion, and Dr. Bissen prom ised to provide an American flag
 The veterans were notified to assem ble on next Tuesday evening at 7:45 o'clock.

Tho Gauows-A Hardened Murderer
 Hung for His Crimes-An Inf1amma-
 tory Speech the ScaRo1d.
 GREENv1LLE, Aug. 2O.-AH the prepara- tions are complete and the town full of peo- pie to witness the hanging of Monroe Rob- inson, one of the most hardened criminals of the age. He was born in Tennessee in 1885, but was raised in Cedar county, Missouri. He klleda man there and fled to Kansas. He there committed another murder and again fed During the war he was connect ed with band of guerillas, and states that in one day he killed seven colored men and many others Subsequently while in Mis- souri he married Miss Coulter, sister of Nelly Coulter, his last victim. After the war he came to this State, living successively at Brookville, Montgomery county, and at Rystown, Dark county, where his evil name followed him. Last October he was arrested at the instigation of Coulter for brutal treatment of his wife. He swore that he would be revenged, and on the 23d of that month shot him. Three balls struck Coulter, who fired once in return, but with out effect. Robinson at once attempted to escape, but was captured by local officers, not, however, before he had fired two shots at them. He was tried at Greenville in Feb ruary and convicted of murder in Che first degree and was sentenced to be hanged on the 16th of last July. respite of thirty days was obtained and the date of exc cution fixed for to-day. few weeks ago he attempted suicide by severing a blood vessel in his neck and arm with small broken knife blade given him, it is supposed, by a condemned cattle thief, but he was discovered by the guard in time to save his neck for the moose, and his wounds were sewed up by physician greatly against his will. He was very wakeful last night, but fell soundly asleep at ? a. m., and was sleeping soundly at a. m. He is expected to make full confession of his crimes on the gallows The militia are here from Gov ington, Ohio.
 Robinson was taken to the scaffold at 12:10, and at 1915 the drop fell. He made @ short indammatory speech, but no comics sion. After the fall no movement of the body was made and he died very quietly.

 George M. Graves is rapidly pushing for ward the new dredging steamer which he is building. The new boat will cost in the neighborhood of B., ,OOO or $6,OOO. The boat is for the Messrs. J. & J. H. Smith. She is 70 feet in length and will be the largest dredging steamer in the harbor. There are now several of these very useful crafts en- ployed in the oyster business of New Haven and owned here. They are coming into favor more and more as the iron horse can work when the sailing craft lies becalmed, and the sailing craft loses much working time in the course of season for this reason. The new steamer is of a fine model and the boilers are now being put in.
 Fair Haven oystermen estimate that there have been GOO, GOO bushels of shells planted this season, @ large increase over any former year. The greater part of these shells are deposited in the Sound off New Haven and the east and west shores, the deeper water of the Sound being preferred, where there is sand bottom. In planting in the Sound the planting is done in water at least twenty feet deep, as heavy seas are apt to disturb the oys- ters in less depth. Daniel w. Grosvenor is making number of heavy oyster dredges for Smith Brothers and Barnes of Oyster Point. He has made during the season large num- Der of such dredges, these however, being the largest He has used within few months two tons of iron for this purpose. The largest of the dredges now in hand measure four feet in the clear, and are capable of drawing up four bushels of the shell fish. The weight of one of these drcdges with the necessary equipments is 130 pounds, while the oysters they will hold will weigh 36O pounds more. This is an illustration of the power and ef- fciency of steam in the business where they will be managed

NEW YORK, Aug 20.
 Mrs. Sarah A. Thompson and her daugh- ters were taken this afternoon by Mrs. Corey, the widowed daughter, and some friends to private asylum for the insane at Morristown, N. J. Mrs. Thompson is not to be incarce- rated as patient, only as companion to her daughters, as the physicians pronounced her entirely recovered from her recent hallucina- tions. The insanity of Minnie, the daugh- ter, is of milder type than that of Annie, but the condition of the latter is critical. In the private retreat at Morristown, removed from all annoying cares, the two young ladies may in course of time be completely restored
