After evading the officers for some time the fel- Jow was arTested on the levee, and while on the way tothe station made s sudden lunge and broke sway from the offiers. A long race on- eued, but Oficer Naylor at last overtook Phillips, and ordered lum to utvr. Withe out the least warning of his intentions, Philips turned upon Navlor and stabbed him ewice in the fleshy part of the left srm. Naylor, sfter receiving the wound, fired at his assailant withont effect, but a secondshot hit him in the leg, snd Philips fell to the ground. He was then captur and taken to the ststion. The negro who first gave the information was akeo srrested.

American Masons inquiring into the cause of the baa under which the Grand Lodgs of France 12 placed by tne American Grand Lodges, and why we ara forbidden . o' -associats with, our Gallle Lreth- ren, will' not find it in the mere fact that the' French Maeons refuss to recognize the Ameri- can rule cf jurisdiction. True,6uch a rule i< essential to the usefulness of Masorry, Were i: allowabls for any one of our Grand Lodges to estabiiah subord:nates in any other, the act would be a death blow to the ex- istence of Aierfcat Grand Lodges, and cocsequently tq the respectatility and usefulress of the Order itself. The action af the Grand Lodge of France, thersfore, in tgaonng local junsdiction, strikes at (he dearest interosts of the insntction as worked n this coud- try. Dot therelis tomething warse than thia in the Freemasonry of France. Tt has become, under modern influcnces. 5 godiess Inetitution, It bas dis- carded ita Bible, its emblem of Duty, its *s0 help ma God." and 1te references to the resurrection. It has elimnazed all tye religions principles which it received wiib ita rituals from the Grand Lodge of England 150 years ago. There is not a genuing * Landmark,” in the sense in which the word {s understood by us, re- maining to French Masonry. The pass-words are changed regularly; thero is no Grand Master; the whola ssstem is but a buriesque upon the name of Freemasonry, From s copy of the official Register of, the Grand Orlent of France for 1835, I gather o fow facts worth reading by those who cars for the matter. The Regis- ter 1s an 18 mo. of 183 pp.. entitled ‘ Masonic Calen- dar of the G. Grient of France, the Supreme - Council for France and the French poascssions, 103d year.” The number of lodges working under auibority of the Grand Ordent s 260, ¥iz, im Pams, 41; in other paria of France, 178; 1n the French possessions, 41. Besides 200 lodges, the G. Orlent controls 35 Chapters, 11 Counclls (7), 1Consistory, and 1 Grand Council of Rites, Among tbe foreign French lodges, I am personally acquainted with the following ; Lodge Meles, at Smyrna, Asis Minor ; Lodge Ohaine d'Union, Beyrout, 8yria; Lodge Le Liban, Beyrout, Syria; Lodge Nil, Caira, Egypt; Lodge Pyramides, Alexan- dria, Egspt; Lodge Lumlere en Egypte, Alexandria, " ed on_the Grand Orfent that she ges in New Orleans, but none such are pamed in tho Register beiors me, and presumo the statement is untrue.

Probshly wers Ler ax gored ¥ we shiould all hear of it. In Alsace-Lorraine, which was was_transferred a few years since to Germany, the elght French lodges, refusing to transfer their allegiance, have been disacived, as we learn from the following note on pige 183: “The above lodges (ateliers, "Workshops’) were Teqoired by the Pruseian (sic) authority to break their selation with the Grand Orient of France, but pre- Egypt. has besn e established her I ferrod to ceasc their labars and e dissolved.” There 1s no Grand Master in the Grand Lodge of France. The interference of Goverament, aud tho ‘personal jealousics of high Masona snd their partisans led in 1871 toa radical change in Masonic ussge. Thia is indicated in the following sentence : * The General Aszembly of the Grand Orient of France in ita sitting of Hept. 6, 1871, suppreased tl:e functiona of the Grand Masterahip, whose powers hava paased to tha Council of the Order ! " The first President was Baband-Lari- bieze.

One of the finest sets of apartments devoted 10 Masonic use in the West is situated. at Nos. 185 and 187 Kinzio strect, and named Corinthisa Hall. fuis occupied by two lodges,—Kilwinmng No. 311 and Covenant No. 626,—k8 well as by Corinthian Chapter -No. €9, and 8t. Ber- these: Country ; Har- ey of pard Commandery No. 85. The apartments have- been in use for some time, but, having beon tauched by fire about three months ago, & thor- ough refitting was determined oa. and the re- suit, which. wili-be submitted to the bodies this week, is likoly to be eminently satisfactory. The work done on the roome coasisted mna thorough cleansing and refitting of all the ap- purtenances, including new upholstery for the farniture, acd also new and beautiful fresco- work im the lodge-ball. The spartments ip use by the bodiea are a main hall 40x60 feet, a drill and banguetiog room 80x70, two parlors each 20x20, a large ermory, and a splendidly- fitted up kitchen, the whole forming a fine meeting palace for the Masons of the North Bido. The members of the lodges, Commandery and Encampment, are to be coogratulated oo the compietion of their rooms, avd that, too, with entire freedom from debt. Covenant Lodge and the Commandery have been rather unfortu- nate in their experience with fire, having been barnt out three times since 1871, bnt they are now in good working order. ———— QDD-F: LLOWSHIP: . QEAND BODIES OF NEW YORK. The Grand Lodge of New York, in session at New York City, passed ita third dsy (Aue. 19) in work mainly on appesals. Following are the points brought up not purely local ; Permission was given, to R. L. Ralelgh ¢o ap- peal to the Grand Lodge of the Umted States from a decision of this grand body to this effect: Thbat where no cboice has been made on a bal- lot for a grand officer, there being several candi- dates in nomination, and where the nominss who has received the second highest number of votes withdrawa from the contest the nomines who has received the third highest number of otes is legally a candidats for election. The decision of the Grand Master that it is not necessary for subordwnates to notify sister lodges of the suspension of members for non- payment of dues waa affirmed. On the last day of the session the question of whether or not the Grand Slaster had the power toremove s Deputy Grand Master from the control of his district was brought ap =nd dis- cussed at length by some of the oldest members of the Grand Lodge, and the vote, when taken, gave him that power by 323 yeas againat 231 nays. An appeal agaipst thia action will be taken to the Graod Lodge or the United States, which meets in Indisnapolis during September. John Medole, of New Yorx, presented the an- nual report of the Odd-Fellows' Asyluin Associ- ation, which shows cash on hand and deposit, $4,186.43; intereat, $434.94 ; expenses for four years, $378.06. The indebtedness of lodges for asylum daesis §211.88. The Coovention had decided that the ssylum is to be located outsids of the City of New York, and the affairs of tha Association will be managed by a board of fifteen trustees—five 10 be elected each year by the Convention of Delegates. - The Finance Comumittee recommended that the assessment on the subordinats lodges should be 16 cents per member, which recommendaticn was adopted. The gecret work was then exemplified, after which the Grand Lodge was formally olosed, to meet in Rochester in August, 1876. o 96 THE uscx:.‘nr’m’vxmx.n . J.

Some districts pay on the deaths of second and third wives, and cn the deaths of widcws, and in this way, extra to the above, £1,05C bave been paid. The number of clearances accepted has beep 55+, acd ehows o great falling off, since that the par-ies who now draw clearances aro compeiled to pay for benefits accordmg’ {o the age they are on dépositing their clearacces, in place of the £ge at which they were admitted into the Order.

The charges for pure managemens over and zbove- Luess fig- ures may be taken st 3 cents weekly 1o each person, out of which prnting, atationéry, rents, ealaries, gifts in cases of charity, medical attendance; and a variety of other minor mat- ters, will represent an income and eexpenditure of over £30,000 sterling per anoum; whie our widow and orphan funds disburse in various modes of benefit £20,000 per aunum. Tha Boyal Commissioners, who have had the examination of our affairs, pronounce the Man- chester Unity tobe the best friendly society in Grest Britam, either financially or socially, con- sidered on its special marits.

C., Eldndgs, of that city, who enjoys the reputa-~ tion o;!z' being the first 03d Fellow who over gettled in Iowa. Somo speechmaking and the presentation of an cnvelope filled with green- backs made up the ceremonies of the occasion. LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE. HIACES AND IACKMEX. To the Kditer of The Chicago Trivune: Onrcaco, Aug. 28.—Every travelar knows to his cost that hackmen are extortionate in their charges, and, although an ordinance regulatiog fares exiats, it is seldom to be seen posted in hacks, as required by law, and still more seldom enforced when violated. No stranger ever em- plosed & hackman who did not swindlo or try to gwindle bim. The hackman’s occupation must make him recklees and grasping, and he watches like the opidar for the lost wanderer to draw him in and bleed him. If any class should be by law required to obtain a certificate of moral charac- ter, iv is the city hackman, because it is well known that eome of the most abandoned men practice that vooation, ready at any time to lend themselvea for hire to auy schewe of deviltry,— assisting in plots for abduction and seduction, plying their vehicles between depots and hotels, and houses of assignation aud prostitution. It is hardly safe for & virtnous woman to enter a hack slone at night. A Chicago hack is far more dangarous for a woman 3lone and una:- tended than any English railway apartment. AMany a girl bas come to thiscity & stranger, and been taken by the haokman, to whom she ap- plied for direction to & respectabla hotel or boardiug-house, to some notoricus house from which she could not escape untl drugged and ruined. Hackmen are somsetimes paid to recrait such places with fresh girls from -the country, and eveo whea tha girl names tho hotel which she prefers the villainous hackman will persuade the girl to go toanother place, where he kuows sud hopes she will bermined. What does he care for woman's virtue, provided he gete a lio- eraiTes ? Hackmen will ometimes conspire with each other to effect, in the haak, the rmin of some city girl or some country girl whom tbey may pick up at the depots or in the strests. The immunity which hackmen of the most notorious rharactar and habita enjoy in matiers of extor- tion and crime leads me to inter that in tome way they must share the 1avor and protection of membere of the police, ta whom, a8 well as the criminsl clasees, they are often of indispeaaible service and assistance. 8. B. 'WADASH AVENTE VINDICATED. To the Bditor of The Chicage Tribune ; Cmosco, Ang. 38.—Since tha dirsputable organ called the Chicago 7imes has been located on Wells street, it has been prejudiced against State street, Palmer's Hotel, snd Wabash avenue, and landing to the skies the merita as a businees location of Fifth avenue and Madison street. The old man, baving an elephant on his hands, is trying todisposs of it; but his rooms are tenantlesa. G Recently, on socount probably of the. rafusal of the business men to insert advertieements in bis'paper, tbe old man hos openea his battery on Wabash avenue, and thinks jt bad better be called Jerusalem aveomo. With houses bko Hibbard & Spencer, Gage Brothers, Frank- Lo MacVeagn Co., Clement, Morton & Co. J._W. Doane & Co., Durand & Co. Doggett, Dassett & Hills, Abram French & Co., Chase, Farr & Co;, D. B. sk & Co., aod ozhers, it does not appesr that the Israelites monopolize the trade of that un- rivaled avenue. Admit thst they do, also the hypothes:s is not true, tho business transacted bv the Jews is immenge, merchants are prevent- ed from seeking the New York market for dry fimda by the large stocks of clothing kept by ‘abash avenue firms,and billa have already been sold amonnting to §20,000 per invoice, and more will be of the ‘same size. If Wilbar ¥. will keep s coupe and carcass from our strect, for we sea bia mug twice a day, he would obligs bueiness men, who pay their tazes without grumbling, 100 centa on the dollar, and won", allow the Tames in their homea. WaRasH AVENUE. INSULTS TO LADIES. 7o the Editor of ' The Chicago Tribune : Carcaco, Aug. 28.—I would like to inquire} through your columns, if ‘there csn be soy pro- tection afforded ladies on our public highways. 1t seema now that they cannot quistly walk the streets without being subjected to every variety of insult and outrage, Oa the Weat Sido & lady cannot go threa blocks from her kome, even in the early part of the evening (if noaccompanied by a gentleman), withont being followed and in- snlted by some ruffian. I kpow of my own per- sonal knowledge of three cases within the Jast faw weeks. on the West Side, in a most respectable locality, where ladies Liave been thus grossly in- sulted; and, at such times, policemen are not to be seen or heard of. And, on Friday forenoon last, & lady, quietly walking on East Maaison street, attending to some necessary business, was completely delugea with water from the etreet-hydrant, not only ruiming her spparel, bat sabjecning her to eerious illoess, besidas the mortification of walkivg the street in a very unbecoming plight; and thia deluge was showered npon the passers-by wiiuout any WwArniog except that of the yell, ** Git oat thers " without giving any one time to do 80, even if <bey bad known what the cry meant. 1think, if our atreets cannot be pavad with- ont sgcn outrages being perpetrated, the puhlic bad better be notified of ihe fact, and the street closed to the public uli such a timp ae they can walk it in safery. - A SUrFERER. PARK PERQUISITES. To ths Editor of The Chicago Tribune: Caicaco, Aug. 28.—1s ot the charge of 50 cents an hour for the use of a boat ia the public park a little too exorbitant? Half that sum per hour is all boat-owners pretend to charge at Lake ngern and other watering places where oversthing is kept in better style than at the lit- tle duck ponds fonnd in Union, Jefferson, and Lincola Parks, It is perfecily proper for tie park-keepers and owners of boats to derive an income from the hire of their-boats,—but 50 cents an hour savors of extorion, and should bs prohibited or the boats be faraished gratuitonsly for the people, to whom the parks belong. At present prices the boat-owners must derive & ;;;1:232 ::clorx:‘; g;smz ihewr ?:m. amounting on at the rate of 85 per boat 1 s BEEIOEALS, OF The parks being public plossure grounds, and baating a licensad amusement, no ono_should be silowed to speculate therein at the expense of the publie. It in in the interest of poor people, cut off by the price from indulgence in this io- Docent parg amusement, that I bave called at- tention to the extartion. 5 E. BQUTH SIDE STREST-CARS. Tothe Editor of The Chicago Tribune : Cmcaco, Ang. 29.—I see.a great deal of fass | made about nothing, or, as they call it, smoking in the eireet-cars. For my part, I do pot think it any worse to emoke on the cars than in the howse. You wil never sees yousg lady bat what she will tell her lover sho likes a good cigag, but when & poor driver works from 5 in the morning il 10 and 12 at night, and some of them all night, it 18 & different thing, As to the sonoyance of * the boys in gatting mto s car: I slmost always tako a rear ‘seas. and, if the bovs. trouble the driver, I gently lits their hats off aod drop them, and we “have no more trouble {from that scors. Buz there is s real nuisance that we hear ve little'about, sod tkat 18 this: a lsdy can hn‘d?v nde i & ’bus but what sbe 18 insuited by some pupsy, 2l the way from 15 years old to 65 : and, it we wonld slap them in the face oncein awhile, we would so0n cease to be trousied in that quar- ter. - OrE or Your Rrapens. CHESS AND CHECKERS. Ts tha Editor of The Chicago Tridune : : Cmicago, Aug. 28.—Please allow me to make a suggestion to the managers of that exceilent in- stitution, the Young Mea's Cliristian Association of thiscity. And the suggestion is, that fhey provide tables in their reading-rooms for the games of chess and dranghts. I any qaite focd of the gamo of chess, bat caa find na -place to play it. down-town except in the Chess Cuub in the Atheneum, whers the an- nual ‘membership-feo’ is $10,—an amonunt that is too large for mv pocket, and which wiil eeldom.be paid eimply for' tne chess priviisges of that Society. s There might be a large and Hourishing chess club maintained here, ana o fes of ooly £2or §3 ver anoum charged, but a tax of 310 18 alto- gether too high to enconrage the growsh of this uoblest of intellectnal games.
