 TORONTO, Jan. 27.-The decline in the Knights of Labor as to numbers goes steadi- ly on here. All the assemblies shew de- creases, some to very large extent. One assembly had six hundred members year ago and now it has only sixty. Five months ago there were in this city fully four theu- sand Knights, but it is doubtful if there are one thousand now. Internal dissensions and dissatisfaction with the management of the order are alleged as the causes of this re- markable decrease.

The New Haven TobOGgan Clubs
 Carnival-A Picturesque Spectacle.
 The New Haven Toboggan club held their first grand carnival last evening. Several hundred people were inside the ground, be- sides large crowd outside in the road look ing on. Most of the tobogganers wore the regulation costume. The slide presented grand sight, being all ablazs with lanterns and red fire.
 It presented very picturesque appearance, the light of the moon and lanterns and the red fire refecting on the white snow, while the toboggans glided by with rush and roar, and handsome maidens with blooming cheeks, wearing striped toboggan costumes, their heads incased in a tocque, were in abun- dance The fastest toboggars are shod with steel. MT. Edward Lawrence owns one of this kind that repeatedly slid upon top of the bank of snow used as 8 stop. Tobogganing is very exhilarating and fascinating sport, and even when the thermometer is down be- low zero tobegganers seem indifferent to the cold, as the sliding down and the walking up the steps to the top of the chute keeps the body warm and the blood in circulation. All were enjoying themselves and voted that the first carnival was a success.
 Among the many present the following were noticed Mr. Robert T. Merwin, the Misses Merwin, Mir. Edward Lawrence, G.. H. Gill and Miss Bromley, MT, and Mrs. James H.

A Fools Folly,

NEW YORK, May s.-The dead body Of
Nathaniel W. T. Hatch, banker and broker,
was found this morning in the yard in rear of
No. Ga West Twentieth street. The last
seen of Hatch was at restaurant with a
woman named Scofeld, with whom he was
dining. Hatch accompanied her home, and
arriving there went in with her. Her hus-
band, Charles w. Scofield, was at that time
asleep in the back parlor, but was aroused by
the movements of his wife and Hatch. The
latter was concealed and very lively
quarrel ensued between wife and husband,
which only ended when Sco6eld left the
house. She retired and knew nothing of
what happened in the night, until
the body Of Hatch was dis
covered in the yard this morning.
Scofeld and his wife are held at the police
station to await the action of the coroner.
Scofeld was formerly broker in good cir
cumstances. Hatch was a member of the
firm of Walter II. Hatch S Sons, bankers and
brokers, and was the eldest son of the senior
member of the firm He leaves wife who
is prominent in society.
According to Mrs. Scofeld'S story she has
long been dabbling in stocks in Wall street,
usually through the agencyof Hatch & Sons
At the coroner's inquest this after
noon Mr.. and Mrs. Scofeld We're examined
and from their testimony it was evident that
Hatch was killed by falling from the bath
room window while trying to escape. The
prisoners were therefore discharged.

Nelson Rising From the Ashes.

NELSON, Neb., May 7.-[Special to THE
BEE. Nelson is not having any boom what
ever, but the recent fire will prove benefit
slightly wooden buildings and if any rebuild
ing is done it will be with brick.
Mealy & Goodrich have moved their stock
of groceries into their new block and will be
in better shape to do business than before.
A brick building is almost certain to be
erected for the First National bank this sum-
mer and several cottages will be built
through the agency of the Building and Loan
association so that the town is not going to
go backwards.
The officials of the Rock Island route, e.
st. John and others, spent an hour here last
week as they were inspecting their road, and
though they made no promises they liked the
appearance of the town and said that they in
tended building from Fairview to Lincoln
and Omaha, thus giving us a competing route
to the metropolis.
An interesting surgical operation was per-
formed here recently. Miss Ida Jester. last
August, was washing windows, and ran her
arm through one of the panes of glass. 1t
cut her arm above the wrist badly, but she
pulled out piece of glass, and it soon healed.
During the fall and winter she attended
school, feeling no special difficulty except in
twisting her wrist. But this spring her arm
swelled and she poulticed it until little mat
ter formed, and the doctor lanced it, and
with probe discoved hard substance. He
advised her TO let him cut it out, and she con-
sented, provided he would put her to sleep
with chloroform. So all one afternoon he
worked over her with chloroform, but with
out success. The next morning he gave her
ether, and cut frem her arm triangular
piece of glass,

A Herald reporter who called at the sad

alone and had pleasantly cantered along Rot
Ten lLOW, WHICH was HIlSu WIN elueSlIldHS,
and was intending to quit the park at what Is
known as Hyde Park corner, which is the
man entrance. 1t would appear from a
statement made to the family by Sir Allen
Young, who saw the accident, that Mr. Sands
reined the animal perhaps too abruptly. AS a
treacherous asphalt pavement, terminating
the bridal path, was reached, the forelegs of
the mare slipped and MIR. Sands was unseated
and violently thrown on his head, fracturing
the skull at the base He breathed slightly
