CHICAGO, Aug. S.-Yesterday was the
great day of the Patriarchs Militant cele-
bration. All the patriarchs, the mill
tary organizations OF the city, and
thousands of the brethren of the triple
link united in a grand demonstration.
Owing to the dense crowds and evil
dent mismanagemento on the part of the
officials, the big parade did not get
started until about half-past four
o'clock, and it was about five o'clock
when the head of The procession passed
the grand stand. Grand Sire Under
wood, in all the splendor of his Gener-
alissimo's uniform, was at the head of
the column, surrounded by his aides in
costumes equally gorgeous. His special
escort consisted of the Boston Hussars,
Junior Hussars and Denver Lancers.
1t was estimated that between ten
and fifteen thousand men were in line,
including about six thousand uniformed
patriarchs On the reviewing stand at

KEMMLER is DEAD.
The Electrocution was Not as Clean
Success as Hoped For,
owing to the Shutting OF of the Deadly
Current Too Quickly - A Second
Application Made Death an
Assured Fact.

AUBURN, n. Y, Aug. 6.-Kemmler is
dead At six o'clock this morning War
den Durston called the twenty three
witnesses which the law provided for,
ali OF whom were to assist in the exc
cutlon in some official capacity. All
were prompt in responding to the sum-
mons.
At 6:3s a. m. the door at the right of the
execution chair leading toward the exc
cution room opened and Warden Ours
tons figure appeared in the doorway
Behind him walked spruce-looking,
broad-shouldered little man, full
bearded, with carefully-arranged hair
clustering around his forehead.
He was dressed in a suit of
new clothing, sack coat and a vest
OF dark gray material, trousers of
m liked yellow pattern, white shirt
whose polished front was exposed di-
rectly below a little bow of lawn of a
black and white check pattern. This
was William Kemmler, the man who
was about to undergo the sentence of
death. Behind him walked DR.. w. E.
Houghton and Chaplain Yates
Kemmler was by far the cool
est man in the party. He did
not look about the room with
any special degree of interest He hest
tated, as the door was closed behind
him and carefully locked by an at
tendent on the other side. as though he
did not know exactly what to do.
Give me chair, will you?" said the
warden.
Some one quickly handed him a wood
en- chair which he placed in front and a
little to the right of the execution
chair. facing the little circle of men.
Kemmler sat down composedly, looked
about him, and then up and down,
without any evidence of fear or
of special interest in the event His
face was not. stolid-it was not ind fer
ent. He looked if any thing as though
he was rather pleased at being the CEN

stood at the left of the chair
with his hand resting on the back of it,
and almost at the moment that Kemm-

MORE MUTINY.

CONSERVATION Caused in British Army
Circles by Another Mutiny Among the
Troops The ROttenness and Petty
Tyranny of the Service Gradually Being
Exposed by tire Only Effrctuai Means
at the Command of the Men.
LONDON, Aug. 9.-Decided alarm has
been caused in the highest army cir
cles by the mutiny in the garrison at
Chatham. In this case number of
men belonging to the army service
corps refused to parade, not, however,
on the ground of any complaint against
their commissioned officers, but alleg-
ing that the non-commissioned officers
imposed needless and vexatious tasks,
without authority from their Superiors.
The mutineers went further than the
second battalion of Grenadiers, who
were guilty of nothing more than dis
obedience of orders, and when person
ally appealed to, obeyed the summons
of their commanders. The soldiers at
Chatham not Lnly refused to parade,
but barricaded themselves in store
house and attempted to resist arrest.
"A formidable force was at once marched
to the spot however, and bloooshed
would have fol owed had not the mu-
tineers been overawed into surrender
The ring-leaders were put into rigorous
confinement and promptly court-mar-
tailed and sentenced to Imprisonment
for month. There is general public
feeling that something is rotten in army
circles when such demonstrations ap-.
pear necessary to obtain redress of
grievances. as the army rules nomi-
nally afford opportunity for a hearing in
legitimate. way. The private soldiers
claim, however, that any soldier who
would dare to accuse his superiors, even
when invited to do so at the regular in
spection, would be subjected to perse-.
cution, If not to punishment Public
sentiment strongly demands the resig-
nation as, Commander-in-C Chief of the

Clam Bake at Col. WatsOn's.
Col. H. W. Watson and family e

Col. H. w. Watson and family cele- brated the Fourth by giving clam bake at their home and inviting limited number of friends to enjoy the occasion with them. The company assembled during the afternoon and remained until about II p. m. About o'clock a fire was built upon bed of stones placed on the lawn between the house and barn and at the proper time a barrel of clans was placed upon the heated stones and then covered with shavings and wood, which was allowed to burn until the clans were nicely baked. The large barn had been swept and decorated for the occasion and a table reaching the entire length of the barn floor was loaded with lobster salads, rolls, bread, pies, cake, water melon and other goodies. At six o'clock the company surrounded the table but they could not surround all the eatables, yet they ate diligently for nearly an hour before they gave up the forlorn hope.
 Everyone was bound to have good time and enjoy childlike freedom once more, so some climbed to the big beam and jumped down upon the haymow, while others sang, told stories or played games. At twilight the barn was lighted by lanterns and the evening was spent in singing, social converse. tion and an attempt to vanquish ice cream, cake and coffee. Some very pretty fireworks were displayed on the lawn in front of the house.
 Besides Col. Watson. wife and daugh ter, Mabel, there were present Mir and Mrs J. 0. Richmond, MT and Mrs s. A. Eddy, MT and Mrs s. c. Beckley, the Misses Minnie and Alice Peirce, Miss s. A.
