The grand lodge is in session and this
convocation OF Knights is the largest
and grandest ever held in the territory.
Nearly every lodge in Arizona is not

the foremost Pythian in the world is
present. He arrived yesterday morn
ing and at once passed into the hands
of local Knights who have since heaped
upon him such honors as befit his lofty
rank.

pose OF the Phoenix knights to give a
banquet at the Commercial laat night to
the supreme chancellor and the grand
lodge and the session was adjourned.
1t will finally adjourn On Wednesday
night.
Yesterday afternoon the visiting
knights were driven out to the ostrich
farm the excursion returning about ak
O'Clock.
The banquet was such an affair as
only the Pythian knights could have
contrived. The immense dining hall
was crowded and I50 guests sat down at
$50 to feast none richer than which
had ever TEN pied the Pythian appetite.
The hours until midnight were spent in
solid enjoyment.

DOUBLE MURDER MYSTERY.
Two Women Arc Killed by Robbers Who
Afterwards Ransacked the House and
Secured Quantity of Money.

By the United greSS.
jamestown, N. Y, Dec. 16-Mrs.
Wlnslow Sherman and her daughter,
Mrs. Clinton Davis, were both murdered
in the town of Busti yesterday after
noon while Mr.. Sherman was attending
the funeral of Myron c. Shearman and
his wife, who were killed by an Erie
railroad express train.
The work was evidently that of rob-
bers, as the house was ransacked. No
money was obtained.
The victims were found by the 49,
year-old son of Mrs. Davis on the floor
Mrs. Davis was shot through the head
There is no clew to the murderers.
The victims We're killed by an axe or
hatchet with a sharp edge. Mrs. Davis
was gashed in the back of the head,
which was doubtless the blow which
caused her death, although her face was
cut in numerous places, evidently with
sharp instrument.
Mrs. Shearman had received one
heavy blow on the forehead, with many
other smaller cuts, each of the women
having eight cuts on the head and face.
A sum of money, amounting to $3.50,
divided into two parts and tied up in
handkerchiefs, was hidden in bureau
drawer on the second floor. The mur-
derer evidently entered the dwelling
through the woodhouseand departed the
same way, as footprints freshly made
were found in the mud outside the wood
shed door, to the west, leading both in
and out.
Mr.. Shearman says he has not shown

learning, shot himself in his room at
the Spencer House Friday night and
died in a few minutes. He was
prodigy of mental culture. He was
learned in French and Spanish, and
could discuss literature and history like
a matured scholar, and was as familiar
with statecraft and governmental poll
cies of the nations of the old world as
If he were q retired statesman. He had
his ideals In literature, craftsmanship
and politics, and If in the course of
reading he met any authority that
sought to demolish any of these ideals
he became worried and distracted.
He pasesd the early part of last even
ing in company with his brothers, Irv-
ing and Eugene, and when he entered
the hotel at 10 o'clock he showed no
signs of dependency. About II o'clock
pistol shot was heard in his room, and
Smith was found stretched lifeless upon
the floor with copy Of Voltaire in
French at his side 1t is believed that
in the book he encountered a paragraph
that ran counter to his views, and that
so perplexed and worried him that he
got desperate and resolved to kill HIM
self.
He left note to his father, William
L. Smith, of Newburgh, N. Y, bidding
him goodbye, and saying that he could
not stand this world any longer.

Into Connecticut and Capture All Its
Members.
By the United Press.
Bridgeport, Conn. Dec. 16.-Four de-
tectives Of the United States Secret
Service bureau of New York came to
this city Friday night, and yesterday
morning captured a band of expert
enced counterfeters. They were James
Mcclure, Henry Oliver, George Allen
and Mrs. Mcclure. The agents also
captured all their moulds, dies and
other apparatus, and also large guam
tity of counterfeit coin in half dollars
and dollars.
The prisoners came here on Thurs
day, Dec. 6, from New York, and have
been circulating the spurious coin
since. They were traced by the United
States detectives, who surprised them
at work. One of the detectives said
that the coin was an excellent imita-
tton, and that all were experts.
One of the detectives said that they
had captured the entire band, and that
they had been on their track for sew
eral months. 1t is believed the pris-
oners have made considerable money.
The local police knew nothing of the
presence Of the counterfeiters in this
city, but had for some time been re-
ceiving complaints of spurious coin
being circulated here. Mcclure gave
his right name.
Commissioner Wright held the three
men under $4,000 bail each, and the
woman was allowed to go on her own
recognizance. She said she knew moth.
ing of the character of the men but said
they boarded with her Detective Bagg

she is McGuire's wife.
Their photographs were taken ant
they were then locked up in the New
Haven Jail. Oliver has been identified

dents of Allentown and vicinity on
charges Of arson, and last night the
men were all locked up In the county
Jail at Freehold. There have been in

New York to offer reward of $500 for
the capture of the guilty parties. This
brought the New York detectives to the
ground.
1t Is said that Arthur Newman made
a statement to them in which not only
those arrested but others are implicat-
ed. Nearly all the property burned by
incendiaries consisted of barns and out
buildings. The men under arrest are

FIRE AT STEVENS BREAKER.
The Engine House Totally Destroyed by
Flames on Saturday Evening.
Eneciol IN tho Scranton Tribune


Pittston, Dec. 16.-Saturday night
about midnight the engine house of the
Stevens Coal company caught fire and
was totally destroyed. When the fire
broke out there were ten men at work
on the night shift. Engineer Lloyd i'm
mediately sgnalled the men of theiE
impending danger and commenced to
hoist them to the surface. Despite the
heat of the flames and the danger that
surrounded him, like the true hero he
was, he did not for an instant desert his
post, but stuck with his hand on the
throttle until the last man was at the
top.
When he emerged from the burning
building his burned and scorched ap-
pearance told of the agony he endured
In rescuing the men. His injuries are
principally about the face, hair and
hands. While the injuries are not seri-
Gus. they are extremely painful The
loss to the building and machinery will
aggregate $1,000, on which there was no
insurance. The works are located at
the foot of the mountain near the Tunk-
hammock road in Exeter borough.
