COLORED KNIGHTS MUDDLE
Ancient Order of Jerusalem Split
and Both Parts in Court.
The DisgruntIed Element Paraded
To-day in Order To Escape
an Injunction.

The Nimrod Grand Encampment of the
Ancient Order of knights of Jerusalem is
supreme in power. II is as invincible as
the highest sache:u in the councils of the
! mighty Polly waugh, who was never known
to wash the belligerent pigments from his
yisagc.
That is the reason the 800 odd colored
members of the honorable order donned
their green sashes and marched to music
to-day. The parade was simply, II is said,
IN honor of itself, though ii was called the
annual parade.
The courts of equity look favorably on
the sialwart members of the Nimrod Grand
Encampment of the Ancient Order OF
the Knights of Jerusalem. The history Of
the order, its legal battles and its victories
is familiar to almost every reader.
The Right Worthy Grand Encampnent
of the Ancient Order Knights Of Jcrusa-
lem was Incorporated in 1888. Three years
later, it is stated, John W. Lilly, right
royal keeper of the sanctificd goat, was
expelled for conduct unbecoming an Off
Ger. Immediately new lodge was formed
and its name was the Nimrod Grand En-
campmcnt of the Ancient Order Knights
of Jerusalem, the same that marched TO.
day. The members of the old order fol-
lowed their leader, and the membership
of the worthy grands was sapped like the
air in a hitch-rack is taken up by stump
sucking equine. On the other hand, the
Nimrod grands gathered new recruits like
q stationary stone receiving moss.
Last April the Worthy Grands brought
suit against the Ninrod Grands to restrain
the latter from longer holding meetings
or parading under the title, for While it
was true that the beginning words of the
two massive titles were different, the latter
parts ran the same. Not until the 10Th of
last month was the matter taken up and
temporary injunction granted.
1t is said, though, that the Nfnirod Grands
have been disobeying the order. That is the
reason they came into court last Saturday
through their attorney, Thomas l.. Jones,
and asked the court to make them show
cause why they should not be held for con-
tempt IL was intended to make the order
returnable to-day.
Mr.. Ridout, of the attorneys for the MINI
rod Grands, objected to this however, and
dema nded the customary two days notice.
There was no way out, and the case had to
be made returnable tomorrow. That is
why the Nimrod Grands, SO the Worthy
Grands say, got to parade to-day.

A. w. Cockerton to Arrive and Surrender
 to the Authorities
 New Orleans, June 1S.-Something of a sensation was created here today by the announcement that A ". Cockerton will arrive here on Thursday, surrender to the authorities, stand his trial on two indictments for forgery in connection with the issue of bogus bonds by Maj. E. A. Burke, the late state treasurer, who is now a fugitive in Honduras. Cockerton was for years the right hand man of Major Burke, and was at one time the business manager of the Times Democrat. When Major Burke fled to Honduras Cockerton remained here a short time and afterwards joined Burke. They have remained in Honduras ever since. There are two indictments against Cockerton and twelve against Major Burke, but Burke's name is not con- tained in those against Cockerton It will be remembered what a profound sensation was caused by the discovery of Burkes duplicity No donbt Cocker tons trial will result in a series of sen sational developments. He will be de- tended by the well-known lawyer, Lionel Adams. MT. Adams was busily engaged today examining the papers against Cockerton.

DIED OF APOPLEXY.
An Estmable Montgomery Lady's Sudden Taking Off Baseball Umpire
 Mobbed by Rooiefs

Montgomery, June 1s.-(special)- Mrs. E. M. Williamson. an estimable Christian lady of this city. died suddenly at o'clock this morning of apoplexy at her residence, 114 Jeff Davis avenue Mrs. Williamson was 64 years old. but up to the time of her sudden death had not been seriously ill in years. She leaves behind to mourn her death an aged mother, Mrs. Amanda Wilson, and several children, namely, Mrs. r. w. Kirtland, Miss Carrie Williamson and MT. R. M. Williamson. The funeral will occur from the family residence tomor- row morning at 10 o'clock.
 Small sensations are getting to be of quite frequent occurrence in the staid old city of Montgomery. The postofIice robbery of yesterday was tapped by the mobbing of Umpire Nichols at the base ball park this afternoon. It seems that Neal, one of Montgomerys fielders caught a fly ball and after holding it several seconds lost his balance and fell, but managed to hold the ball aloft all the tlme From the umpire's point of view he thought Neal dropped the ball, or maliciously viewed it that way, and allowed the batter to score a scratch home run. The bleaehers went wild and jumped the fence in droVes and as Saulted the umpire. One of them struck Nichols on the head with an umbrella and brought the blood in sluices. All the efforts of big Policeman Pat SWeeny and the players couldn't keep the crowd off. Finally, however, they desisted, and after the umpire was patched up the game proceeded, resulting in a victory for New Orleans. The affair is the talk Of the town tonight. and the Armstrong case is for the time being forgotten Many of the spectators consider the summary aoEion of fthe bleachers as cowardly, and do not hesitate to say so; while others excuse their action, on the ground of the very rank decisions of Umpire Nichols
 No arrests were made, as the single policeman detailed to keep order at the ball park had all he could do to keep the enthusiasts from doing the umpire serious bodily harm

Washington, D.

 There are 1954 railway corporations in the country. classification of rail- ways on the basis of operated mileage of over 1000 miles operate 100,547 miles of line or 6.30 per cent of the total mile age of the country. Ninety roads oper- ate 7290 per cent of the entire mileage. There are 35,492 locomotives and l. 27S,07S cars in the service.
 The total number of employees is 779,- eos, a decrease of 10.76 per cent over the report for 1893.

A GOOD REPORT
Made by Lieutenant Fletcher As to His To-
 land Trip to Florida.

Made by Lieutenant Fletcher As to His To-
 land Trip to Florida.
 Newport, R. l., June 1S.-The torpedo boat Cushing arrived here yesterday evening. Lieutenant Fletcher reports that his run south through inland waters was great success, and that the south erners were greatly interested in his cruise, as they hope for the opening up of these creeks and sounds for commer- cial purposes.
 The Cushing's run from Norfolk to Jacksonville, Fla, was made through in- land waterways, excepting 200 miles be- tween Cape Lookout and Charleston, where it was necessary to run outside.
 The approximate actual running time was fifty-five hours, or ten knots per hour, through shallow and winding creeks. The Cushing is B feet longer than any vessel which had previously gone through Fernandina creek, but with her twin screws and fine maneuvering went through in six hours.
 Lieutenant Fletcher contends that it would be practically impossible to hold a fleet of torpedo boats in port on the southern coast without a blockadng
