THE PARADE.

The Uniformed Bodies and Subordinate
Lodges Marched Over "A Long Route-A
Crpditabie showing
What might be termed the spectaeu-
lar feature of the Grand Lodge meet
ing was the street parade of the local
and visiting Communicates of the Uni
form Rank, and the subordinate lodges.
1t was scheduled for 2:30 o'clock, but
it was half an hour later when the
command was given. The principal de-
lay was occasioned by the railroad ac-
cident mentioned elsewhere, which was
a general topic Of conversation and
anxious inquiry among the crowds on
the sidewalks.
The place of formation was on Chap
line and intersecting streets, and COM
mencing at two o'clock there were seen
companies of marching men in every
direction, and the spirited music of
nearly dozen bands. The crowds
were very large, particularly On Mar
ket and Main and intersecting streets
in the business district. Every incoming
train augmented the tnrong. The cars
from the lower part of the city. and
suburban communities were crowded
away beyond their capacity. But for the
length Of the route of march, enabling
most residents to view the parade at
or near their homes, the crush on Mar
ket street would have been immense.
The wires stretched along the side
walks at the curb line. were a wise
precaution, and the police experienced
less difficulty in handling the crowds,
than upon any similar occasion in re-
cent years.

DEPOS|TORS ARE
WEARY OF DELAY
Threaten to Sue Union
Bank Directors.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN JOSE, March 18.-The executive
committee of the organized depositors
of the Union Savings Bank have de-
cided to make a formal demand for %
per cent of the amount due depositors
Just as soon as there is a legal board
of directors to manage the affairs Of
the Union Savings Bank. This was
decided on at the meeting of the COM
mittee to-day. The delays that are &C.
curing have angered the depositors
and these 1900 victims Of the bank are
now clamoring for their money and
demading that the stockholders be
sued. Twenty-Five per cent of deposits
will be demanded in thirty days from
the time Of notice. If the coin is not
forthcoming the directors will be sued
and asked to pay their proportion and
costs. Only those financially respon-
sible will be sued. 1t is believed such
suits will cause the directors to take
speedy action
The writ of review asked by c. P.
Breslan of Judge Lorigan's action In
appointing a board of trustees will
come I'D before Judge Beattie Monday,
and after this decision is rendered 1t
is not believed there will be a hitch over

witnessed by Colonel Yorke, representing
the military ballooning department.
The Wooiwich experimental machine is

driven by clockWork.
After some trouble the ship rose in the
air and made two trips about quarter
Of q mile each. The motions were some
what cratic, but the inventor explained
that ''this is not fair example OF its
capabilities. The strong, gusty wind pre-
Yailing subjects it to a severe test.
Colonel Yorke considered the apparatus
uncertain.

LOSES HIS BRIDE
AND HIS VALUABLES
Russian Merchant "Bunkoed" In q
Marriage He Contracted in
Paris

Special Gable to The Call and the New York
Herald. Copyrighted, 1899, by James Cor
don Bennett.
PARIS, March 18.-There is a rich Odes-
sa merchant who was decorated by NJ
Faure during the latters visit to Russia,
and desired to have a Franco-Russian al
lance all his own. He came to Paris to
get a wife, and found much more than he
bargained for. He began his researches
in Montmartre, where he had little diff
Guilty in meeting a young lady who seemed
entirely to fulfill his ideal. Indeed, most
mems ideals can be discovered without
much trouble on the sacred hill. The Rus
sian merchants ideal told him she was
perfecting her artistic education.
To cut a long story short, the Russian
proposed. was accepted, the banns were
published at q suburban marie, the knot
was tied and monsieur and madame went
to the latter's apartments, where cham
payne was opened to celebrate the joyous
occasion. The wine went to the gentle
mans head sooner than it usually does to
Russians, and he was dropping asleep
when he was startled by the apparition
of a big man armed with a revolver, who
merely wanted the newly made benedick
to sign a check for 10000 francs. The
Russian preferred to die rather than sign
the check. and finally the accomplices
left with the Russians ready money and
valuables.
