FRATERNhL COMPANY ASSIGNS.


The Universal Order of Security Reported
in Trouble.
PHILADEL PHIA, Oct. 15.-The downfall
of fraternal orders continues. The latest
is the assignment of the Universal Order
of Security to Charles H. Edmunds.
The scheme of the order was similar to
that of Iron Hall and Tonti, it having
the seven year plan, but being more con-
servative in that the assessments were 50
instead of $3.50, the assessment fee of
Iron Hall
The order was incorporated in Phila-
delphia June II, 1888, in Common Pleas
Court No. l. and had membership of
1000 one-fourth of which is in the local
lodges Of Philadelphia.
Ii is claimed that tthe assets consist of
mortgages on Philadelphia real estate
which can be converted into the full
amount Of the loan. No certificates of
tine order have yet matured and would
not do so for three years to come. The
only payments which have been made are
those of sick benefits:
The cause Of the assignment is to es-
cape proceedings which Attorney General
Hensel it is said, contemplates institu-
ting against all such concerns.

to be connected with the notorious Dalton
gang of outlaws who met their death the
9TH had organized and were moving
upon Coffeyville with the avowed purpose
of avengng the death of the Daltons.
Since the Dalton massacre many per-
sons have been in Coffeyville, and have
openly condemned the manner in which
this notorious gang met its death, and
several sympathizers have been arrested
and confined in Jail.
As soon as the news of the cOntem-
plated invasion of Coffeyville was made
public in this city large posse of men
was at once armed and was ready to em-
bark on a special train for Cofleyville
when the news reached this city that
there was no likelihood of any trouble and
that in case of any invasion the people of
Coffeyville We're prepared to cope with
the invaders
The town of Coifeyville has been pam
demonium of excitement, yet no braver
set of men ever shouldered gun than
the gallant and fearless citizens Of this
Kansas town.

in the Hold-KemarlStbie Case
RoUsEs PoNT, n. y, Oct 15.-One of
the most remarkable seizures ever heard
OF in the province Of Quebec took place
yesterday when T. G. Van Kirk, special
customs inspector at this place, took
charge of the Canadian barge A. Gravel,
Capt. Amos Hamel, from Sorel, bound to
Albany, n. Y, in the hold of which were
discovered fully dozen Cinnamon, all of
whom, with the captain of the barge,
were taken into custody.
The suspicious of the customs officers
seem to have been aroused a few weeks
ago when f. H. Twohey, Deputy Collector
in charge of the Bonayenture Depot,
observed a great number Of Cinnamon
boarding railroad cars bound for ST..
Johns, st. Hilaire and different points
on or near the Richelieu river.
He at once notified Inspector Van Kirk,
and the two officers went to work with
the result just described.
1t is said that three Canadians were In

ceived $50 a head for every Celestial they
landed in the United States,

at Kingston.
KINGSTON, n. Y, Oct. 15.-The dead
body of William Laurence was found
near Harrrowers three years ago. At
the time iC was supposed to have been a
case of suicide, and coroner's jury rem
dered verdict accordingly.
The woman with whom he was living
at the time of his death, and who was
supposed to be his wife, has made affi-
davit that Laurence was murdered by a
man named Byron o. Chase, a former
resident of Broadalban.
The woman is at present employed in
a knitting mill at Broadalban. Chase is
now serving a term in the Albany peni-
tentiary.
1t is thought that the men had en-
gagged in a quarrel over the woman,
during which Chase shot Laurence.
The statement, which recalls a death
almost forgotten, has caused quite a SEN
sation.

Los Angeles herald., 1892-12-29

Lugard is the last Englishman to report
on the interior, and his lecture on "a Jour
ney from the East Coast to Uganda and
the Great Equatorial Lakes of Africa" to
a special meeting of the members of the
Royal Geographical society has excited
great interest and enthusiasm. He trav-
ersed the great plateau, fuom 6, 900 to 1O, COG
feet above the sea, where in places, he says,
you would see soft, springy turf like an
English lawn. You would see the forget
menot and clover and jasmine. You
would see the nettle and braInble and this
tie. Evergreen bushes of very many kinds
abounded, and the scenery was that of Eu-
rope. Rushing streams and sheltered bays
of lakes afforded the same picturesque
glimpses of scenery as you would find in
Scotland, and as you scaled the hills, with
the cold wind in your teeth, you would
feel the same bracing atmosphere.
The great question to be decided was
whether Europeans can live in comfort
and rear robust children in region trav-
ersed by the equator, and he is inclined to
answer in the affirmative. 1t is curious
fact that the children of Europeans thrive
on the Neilgherry hills of southern India,
but languish much farther north, on the
slopes of the Himalayas, and the Shire
highlands in Africa, though but 5000 feet
above the sea, have proved very favorable
to Europeans. The captain thinks the
problem is solved, and Africa will be rs
deemed by European colonization.
