tons of coal, struck ON Romer Shoal at
1.3O this morning, where she remained
until a. M, and was pulled off by tugs
which su subsequently,, towed her to port
and beached her in Gowanus Creek. The
pounding the schooner received while
aground caused her to spring aleak, and
the crew were nearly exhausted by the
time the life-savers from Sandy Hook
station, commanded by Captain Patter-
son, came alongside. They gladly ac-
cepted the offered assistance. and the
life-savers manned the pumps and re-
mained by the vessel, keeping. four
pumps going until she was beached in
a sinking condition, having then five
feet of water in her hold. Captain Moore

Trade Is Feeling the Effects of the
Haverhill Strike.

And Real Estate Men Are Becoming
Acknowledgement Suffering Will Be Ex-
perienced if the Strike is Prolonged.
HaverhilI, Mass, January 13.-The
labor situation assumed new phase to-
day by vote of the different unions to
hold joint meetings of the cutters, last
ers and bottomers. to form some new
plan for advancing the strikers interest.
All feel that very little has been accom-
plished as yet, and to win victory a
combined effort is needed. This effort
will be pushed with all the force that
can be employed. Several ministers in
the city referred to the condition of the
local labor affairs today. and stated that
the situation is grave. The real estate
owners are beginning to be alarmed, and
trade generally is beginning to feel
pinched. There must be great deal of
suffering in the city if the strike is pro-
longed for month.
LaPointe, who was wounded in the
fight Friday night. is rapidly recovering.

 The Knights of Honor,

The Knights of Honor is a fraterna ben eficial society. It nsures its members in the sum of two thousand, one thousand or i've hundred dollars as they may elect. The different subordinate lodges pay sick benefits in such sums as the majority of the members in each lodge decide It has 126,0 members scattered all over the country, 1t being national organization. and consequently much stronger than if 1t was divided up to correspond with the different sections of the country.
 The supreme lodge is the head of the or der and is composed of it's officers, con- mittees and representatives from grand lodges. The grand lodges are composed of representatives from each subordinate lodge in the state and are governed by such officers and committees as they may annually elect.
 Subordinate lodges are composed of members of good social and moral stand ing, who are admitted upon petition by ballot, after passing favorable medical examination. The petitioner must be a white, male person, between the ages of eighteen and fifty years, in order to be ad- mitted as beneficiary member. Persons dealing in intoxicating liquors are not admitted.
 The supreme lodge realizing that the death rate among members for the first two years of their membership was less than one half of one per cent. and believ- ing that equity and justice demanded that newly initiated members should receive the benefit of this low death rate as well as those who joined in the early days of the order, voted that for the first two years of membership each person presenting himself for initiation should pay into the Widows and Orphans Benefit Fund &C., cOrdng to the following rates:
The Forrest City times., 1895-11-01
The rates of assessment after two years n the order will be as follows:

These assessments are collected and forwarded to the supreme treasurer as often as they are required for the pay ment of death benefits to the widows and orphans. or dependents of deceased mem- bers. Upon receipt of official notice of tho proof of death of any member the supreme treasurer immediately forwards two thou sand dollars to the trustee of his lodge. t0 be paid to the benefciaries of the deceased and all lodges are given official notice Of the payment. On the goth day of each month, the supreme reporter determines the number of assessments necessary 70 provide for the payment of deaths that may be registered during the ensuing month, when all lodges are notified to fer ward the assessment they have in hand and collect another assessment from their members within thirty days, and hold tic same in readiness for the next call from the supreme lodge.
 The method of conducting this fund is based on sound principles, and furnishes species of insurance that is cheaper-as it is obtained at bare cost: more secure. as the money is mostly in the pockets of the members until needed; and easier carried because 1t is called for in small sums and only as required-than that offered by any other plan yet devised or likely to ae.
 Founded upon business principles, it is calculated to perpetuate itself as 1t is 10 the interest of every member to have 1t managed systematically and honestly. The sympathy. pride and self-respect. as well as selfish interest of each member prompts him to see that the benefit is adjusted at once, upon satisfactory evidence of the death of brother. and all understand that this can be secured only by prompt pay ment of the individual assessments. IL does not promise to give something for nothing. For further information address
