Committee Meeting Called.
At a special meeting of the retail
merchant members of the Merchants
Association, held to consider what ac-
ton would be desirable in regard to
closing their places of business during
the week of the knights Templar con-
clave, it was decided that, inasmuch
as this would be an unusual occasion,
the large number of visitors to the
city during the first part of the week
could be better accommodated, and the
city made more attractive, If the re-
tail stores were kept open Monday and
Tuesday, except during the hours Of
the parades. The following resolution
was unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That it is the sense Of
this meeting that the retail stores in
San Francisco should be kept open
on Monday, September 5, and Tuesday,
September 6, and close on Friday, Sep
tember 9, and that during the hours
of parades on Monday and Tuesday
stores, at their discretion, should close
in order to allow their employees time
to view or participate in the parades."
The association requests that all re-
tail stores in the city will, so far as
possible, conform to this recommended
tion, in order to secure uniformity of
action.
The citizens committee, formed for

Special Dispatch to The can.

CANANEA. Mex. Aug. S0.-Lem
Quiones, at the head OF a score OF pris-
Oners, made a desperate break for lib
erty at the prison at Ronuillo Sunday
evening. They were discovered and
overpOwered just as the first OF their
number was emerging from a hole in
wall on which they had been at work
for weeks. but which they had been
successful in cOncealing.
A man sleeping under the wall was
disturbed by the pushing away OF the
thin wall which separated the prisoners
from liberty and called to the guard,
who was around a corner.
Quiones had his head and arms
through the opening in the wall when
the guard covered him and ordered
him not to stir. threatening him with
instant death. Quiones dropped his
head first to the ground. The officer
fired a Eslf-dozen times. He failed to
hit him, as the convict started off on
a zigzag course. BY this time a half
dozen officers had assembled and
Quiones was surrounded and taken.
He is under sentence to die on Sep
tember l. He said that as a few days
made no difference he was ready to
take any chance.
His companions turned back when
the Mexican gendarme commenced FIR
ing.

every way, and the beginning Of a long
list Of festivities that will attend the
great triennial conclave.
The main banquet was spread in the
beautiful American ballroom, which,
however. was not large enough to ac-
commodate all the admirers Of the guest
Of honor. so many had to content them
selves with seats at small tables laid
in the conservatory.
Speeches, music and song added to
the general joyousness of the enter
tainment. The fairest flowers Of Cali
fornias womanhood, gorgeously at
tired in decollete gowns, sparkling
with brilliant diamonds and rare jew
els, graced the occasion with their
presence. Many of the Sir Knights
wore the rich emblems Of their offices,
which greatly added to the brilliancy
Of the scene.
The long tables were decked with a
wealth of Chinese asters and graceful
foliage arranged in immense wicker
baskets and tall old gold vases, while
