THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND
SAW THE KNIGHTS PARADE.
THIRTY THOUSAND TEMPLARs IN
LINE. AND MARCHED
FOUR HOURS.
GREAT OVATION FOR sCHLEY.
UNFORTUNATELY THE ADMIRAL
WAS ABSENT. DtT HIS COM
M&NDERN WAS CHEERED.

LOUISVILLE, Ky, August 27.-It is
estimated that 100000 people to-day
witnessed the parade of Knights Tenn
plar. Thirty thousand Sir knights in
full uniform were in line, forming an
imposing spectacle with which to be-
gin the 2Sth tri-ennial conclave. The
march started at 8. 40 a m. and was
finished at 1890 a. m. after covering a
distance of four miles. The course was
protected by wires strung along the
sidewalks to keep spectators in check.
This innovation in handling holiday
crowds was considered highly success
full. although few adventurous spirits
lodged under the wire at various points
along the route wnen the police were
not watching
The weather early was clear and
cool, but by noon the heat became
somewhat oppressive and there were
eleven cases of prostration due to heat
and exhaustion. Sir knight Irwin Bat
ward. of Greenville. Ind. was over
come while marching. His condition
tonight was reported serious. A por-
ton of the Y. NJ C. A. reviewing stand
at Fourth street and Broadway col
lapsed. Half dozen people sustained
bruises, and Mrs. James Carnahan, of
Washington, suffered a broken ankle.
The crack communicates from Chica-
go. Pittsburg and San Francisco, at
tracted special attention by their mag
nificent appearance. Columbia Com
mandery No 2, OF Washington, d. c..
came in for wild applause all a.ong the
route, as Sir Knight Rear Admiral
Sehley is a member of it and had been
expected 10 march with his comrades.
Although he was absent at every point
in the course when the Washington
men appeared, the crowd took up the
cry "Sehley! Schley! Hurrah for
Sehley,"
Later when the formal welcome to
the Knights was extended by Judge
Barker, OF Louisville, acting for Gov
ernor Beckham, and former Congress
man w. c. p Breckenridge, the men
ton of Schley's name elected applause
so enthusiastic that both speakers were
compelled to stop for several minutes.
Col. Breckenridge delivered the chief
address at this function. Grand Master
Lloyd responded briefly. The key to
the city was presented to him by Mayor
Weaver. 1t was so late when the pro-
gramme was completed that there was
little time for the actual business OF the
grand encampment. Grand Recorder
Mayo discovered that there was quo
rum present. spread the fact on the re-
cord and a recess was then taken until
8: 80 a. m. tomorrow.
Fireworks, excursions on the river,
and other diversions occupied the visi-
tors time tonight. Several OF the
communicates held receptions, among
them being Pittsburg No l, Wheeling
No /, of Wheeling, w. Va, and the
Grand commandery of New Hamp-
shire
A large audience was entertained to-
night at the horse show building by
programme designed to show how the
Southern darkey enjoys himself. There
was a camp meeting spectacle, cake
walk, and old time melodies by
chorus of 200 colored people. The en-
tertainment was arranged by Col. VIM.
S. Hays, a veteran riverman.

TWO VERDICTS RENDERED
By the Coroner of Washington
County, Ohio, In Cases of intcrest.


County, Ohio, In Cases of intcrest.
Special to the REGISTER.
MARIETTA. O., August 27-Coroner
McCure's verdict in the two cases
which have required his services in the
past two weeks has been made public.
The finding is that Ida Haines came
to her death from septic peritonitis,
the result of an abortion, but whether
due to spontaneous action or to Grim
inal operation, could not be determined
from the testimony in the case.
As to Parshall Shoemaker, the four
-year-old boy, killed two weeks ago.
the verdict was that the cause of death
was cerebral hemorrhage. caused by a
collision with horse rapidly ridden
by Edward Meredith.
The Haines case has caused much
comment and public suspicion points to
a prominent local physician and to a
wealthy farmer living near the de-
ceased girls home.

the receipt of the incoming official.
The money is always correct to a cent.
1t takes more than a month to count
1t. There has never been a shortage
The checks are too numerous and too
rigid to allow any person to take a dol

is bonded, as are the paying and re-

departments. The clerks who handle,
count, seal, and pack the money are
not bonded. The Treasurer is respon-
sible for all of them. But the money
is so safeguarded that there is no pos
sibility of loss.
