Pennsylvania is the birthplace of the A. o.

that the mother jurisdiction is doing well.
During 1889 nine lodges were instituted in
Pennsylvania and two consolidated. The dis
bursements of the beneficiary fund were

ments, bringing in 1886, SS7, were levied, and

Mr. Archer's law practice was for many
years worth $4,000 TO 10000 annually, but
this represented only part Of his regular e1-
penditures He made no money in politics,
and his purse was always at the disposal Of
party retainers When Mr.. Archer became
state treasurer he seems 20 have begun using
the peoples cash with the Same freedom that
he did his own. He had no definite purpose
of dishonesty. The money was handy, he
needed it, or his friends did, and he helped
himself, with the intention of making good
the deficit at some future day. But instead
Of filing up the financial hole he kept digging
it deeper, until finally the bottom dropped
out, the peculation became known, and pub
lie scandal, disgrace and retirement from Of
flee followed Now Mr. Archer is in poverty,
and numerous friends are straitened by rea-
son Of his transactions.

A Sensational Murder That Startled st.
Louis Residents.
The killing of Thomas e Fitzgerald by
Cecil English at st. Louis the other day was
one of the most sensational events in recent
criminal annals. Fitzgerald was a car con-
ductor in the employ of a street railway com
pany, and English attributed to him the
wreck of his domestic relations. One after
noon English took a stand at point where
he could watch all the passing cars. When
the one of which Fitzgerald had charge came
up he boarded it, paid his fare and began a
quarrel Suddenly the report Of pistol was
heard. The passengers were terrier stricken
and the horses became unmanageable. Four
more shots were fired and FitzgeraIds lifeless
body fell to the platform.
The driver tried to stop the horses, and the
passengers took flying jumps for safety.
