GALLANT KNIGHTS.
The Parade and Excursion of Templars at
Parkersburg.


PARKERsBURG, w. va, May l5.-The
Grand Commandery of Knight Templars
of West Virginia held their banquet at
the Blennerhasset Hotel this morning
at o'clock. The election and installa-
tion of officers occupied so much time
that the Commandery was compelled TO
remain in session until midnight, after
which they adjourned to the Blenner-
hasset Hotel. where magnificent feast
was spread. The dining hall is large
affair. and accommodated $50 people,
but IL was not half large enough on this
occasion. as there were over go guests
and invited parties. 1t was somewhere
about the time when Old Sol appears
above the hills when the party adjourn
ed for the night.
The grand parade took place this
morning at 10 o'cock. 1t was splendid
affair with its music from number OF
bands, its decoration and its crowds OF
people. Market street, the main and
business street of the city, was literally
iaInmcd from curb to wall for many
squares. After the parade the Grand
Cammandery went in body to Blenner-
haSSet Island on an excursion with their

SHOT IN HIS OFFICE
MURDEROUS WORK IN A NEW YORK LAW
YERS ROOMS.
Clinton G. Reynolds, Prominent Attorney, Fatally
Shot by Dissolute Young Man-AlphOnse
Stsphanis Fooled in Robbing His Mother
Shoots Her Attorney.

New YORK, May ia terrible
tragedy occurred in Wall street this
morning. A vindictive young man, Al
phonse j. Stephanie, shot and wounded
Lawyer Clint G.. Reynolds, of the law
firm of Reynolds, 60 Wall street. The
murderer was but few hours in the
city, having only arrived on the White
Star Steamship Majestic, from Liver
pool.
Up TO two years agOStephanie's father
was engaged in the fruit importing
business in this city. At that time he
died leaving his wife, Alphonse' 5
mother, sole cXecutriX. Alphonse
carried on tie business, but was
turning it into cash and it appears that
he realized about S5O,0OO and placed il
with a Broadway Safe Deposit Com
pany His mother and brother objected.
About two months ago he quarrclled
with her. told her that he would have
the money sometime anyhow and wound
up by assaulting her. About month
ago he sailed for Europe. During his
absence his mother consulted Lawyer
Reynolds who advised her to issue at
tachment against him and the Safe De-
posit Company to prevent his
using the money. He probably heard OF
this after his arrival this morning and
at once went to the lawyers Office and
entered the inner Office. In the outer
Office were Managing Clerk John l.. But
terlc and a client, John f. Cowan, o
Newark, \. j. After an interval OF ten
minutes a shot was heard and Mr.. But
terle burst in the door and saw Ste
phanie with the smoking revolver in his
hand. He at once knocked Stephanie
down, and with the aid of Mr.. Cowan
held him Oh the floor until Policeman
Edwards, of the Old slip station, arrest
ed him. Mr.. Reynolds was found to be
shot and mortally wounded in the left
side below the heart. He was at once
removed in an ambulance to the Cham
berS Street Hospital.
Stephanic. when arrested, had the
weapon used, an ugly looking new Bull
dog revolver of English pattern and 81
calibrc, one chamber of which was dis
charged. At the station house when
searched. there was found on him about
| 81 900 in cash, all of which with the eX-
ception of about S25 was in German and
English money. Stephanie was born
September 20, 1865, in Philadelphia.
There seems to be no doubt that the
shooting was the outcome Of his rage AT
finding that Lawyer Reynolds advice
had foiled his plan to obtain the money
he had on deposit. This spirit of revenge
seems the more probable from the fact
that Stephanie's father was an Italian,
and is said to have left a fortune OF
500. 900 to his wife and two boys.

CHICAGO STRIKES.
Malleable Workers Deny a Rumor-Gen-
cral Labor News.

CHICAGO, May lj.-The striking mold
ers at the Malleable Iron Works claim
that the statements made by the man
agemcnt as to the resumption of work
by several hundred men are false.

quit again yesterday. The picketS are

are getting into the establishment.

in order to be able to work in harmony
with the carpenters, of whose trade they
are really only a branch.
The strike of the tanners has been
successful in every shop except that OF
Lambeau & Sons, who are still holding
out against the nine-hour dayat the old
wages.

Evening.

The Board of Education met In regu-
lar monthly session last evening, the alb
sentees being Messrs. Eschtruth, Jeffer-
son. Mccoy, Whally, White and Presi-
dent Miller. Mr.. Harrell presided.
Nothing Of much Importance came be-
fore the body with the exception OF the
readoption OF resolution concerning
the commencement exercises. The
manual training matter came up again,
and while il was defeated, II is gradu-
ally gaining more supporters. After
the reading OF the minutes OF the previ-
GUS meeting. the following business was
disposed Of:
The Committee on Accounts reported
bills amounting TO Sls0.sl, which were
ordered paid.
The Committee on Buildings and
Grounds reported that they had had ex-
amined and recommended the payment
of the accounts OF Rose x Hamilton for
natural gas fixtures, S277.65: Wheeling
Mining and Manufacturing Company on
tenth estimate for materials and work
done on Madison school building, 500;
total S597. .65, which were ordered paid.
Owing to the death Of Architect Wells
the committee found il necessary TO
employ some one to take charge OF the
work, Mr.. Joseph Leiner, Of kleiyes,
Kraft K Co.. being selected. The action
of the committee was approved, and
upon its recommendation the gentle
mans services will be continued until
the building is completed.
The Committee on Public Library re-
ported accounts amounting TO s312.l3,
which were ordered paid. The Commit
tee recommended the reelection OF Mrs.
Carrie Crawford to the position OF First
Assistant Librarian at $40 per month,
and Miss NJ. j. Bailey as Second Assist
ant at the same salary, and that Harry
Phillips be reelected janitor at $50 per
month. The recommendations were
carried.
The special committee appointed at
the last meeting TO confer with the
officials OF the Natural Gas Company re-
Spccting the insufficient supply OF gas
for the schools, reported that con-
ference had been held with the Secre-
tary of the Company concerning the
matter, and he stated TO the committee
that the company was making every-ef-
fort TO increase the supply by bringing
in new wells. He thought the
heating arrangements could be
made more effective by Introducing i'm
provements, and he would have an in
spector examine the buildings and
report his observations. The official
thought also that the Board should
make arrangements for using gas and
coal together in heating the buildings,
for should the winter prove severe one
he had no doubt that the schools would
be frequently dismissed should the
Board depend entirely on gas.
On recommendation Of the committee
the matter was referred to the Commit
tee on Buildings and Grounds with
power 10 act.
Superintendent Anderson'S monthly
report showed the following totals:
