One Of tho most enjoyable events that
has occurred among secret societies IN
some time, WAS planned and executed
by Franklin Lodge, No. l5l, Ancient
OIder of United Workmen, at their
lodge room el5 South Division-st., on
Friday evening, last. The lodge having
eleven applications for membership on
hand, expected 10 have ut least half
the number present themselves for m
itiation, but IN this respect they were
somewhat disappointed. Through I'M
iorsecn circumstances II was mp ss,bie
for majority of their candidates To be
present on that evening. But two can
dldates presented themselves for men,
bcrship, one by ''card" and one
for initiation. A number of visiting
brothers were present from :Washing-
ton, Grand Rapids and Logic lodges.
and from the expression OF their faces
at their departure for their several
homes, it would not require much as
surance to believe they had spent a
pleasant evening". At the close OF the
lodge, Caterer r.. d. j. Pislrv, with his
corps Of trained assistants. served as

SpVciti 10 the hECCRD-UNTON.
NEW YORK, June 1.-THE Atlas Line
passenger steamer Alvo, which arrived
from Haytian ports this morning,
brought news of continued outbreaks
and the wholesale slaughter of political
prisoners in all parts of the island.
The Alvo also brought news of the ru-
mored shooting of President Hippolyte.
This rumor was being freely circulated at
Jacmel and outlying towns of Port-au-
Prince when the Alvo left tho former
port on June 9th. The rumor could not
be confirmed by people on the Alvo be-
fore she left Jacmel, but it was discred-
tied.
The populace of Jacmel was in a fever
OF excitement over what they termed an
outrageous murder, which had occurred
the day before. When the news of the
slaughter at Port-au-Prince reached Jac-
mel many citizens violently denounced
Hippolyte's deed. Six of them were ar
rested, and word was sent to Hippolyte.
y squad of soldiers came back next
morning and took out the six unfortunates
and shot them to death in the public
square IN the presence OF their friends
and relatives.
After leaving Jacmel the Alvo touched
at NoVassa Island, and there again heard
the rumor OF Hippolyte's assassination.
Inc steamer kearsarge was met there,
the commander having heard the news
and being on his way TO Port-au- Prince.
In New York this evening Haytian
Minister Price and the officials of the
steamship company denied that there was
any truth in the rumor.

rency of the people is indorsed; the free
and universal exercise OF the ballot is de-
manded, as is also the enactment of laws
to protect the country and people against
the influx of vicious and criminal classes
from foreign nations, and the importa-
ton of laborers; economy in the Admin
istrations, national and State; restraint OF
combinations of capitalists for unlawful
purposes and at variance with the sound
public policy of ample educational tacil-
tiles; the reservation of public lands for
homesteads for American citizens and
the restoration to the public domain of all
unearned railroad grants favored; liberal
pensions for soldiers and sailors of the
late war and a generous care for their
widows and children are also favored;
the patriotism, wisdom and ability of the
administration of President Harrison,
and especially the policy of reciprocity
and vigorous foreign policy are COM

and his Republican colleagues in the last
Congress are also commended, and Presi-
