We hope, also, to see aroused the: r in the work of the or- der which marked the days of its youth, aad toapply to the times in which we now live the experience gathered in our lives. We trust, also, that the meeting may resalt in bringing into active use the slumbering forces stillexisting in those of our number Who may bi difference 1 the occasion ove of brotherly reunion, and to mark it by such ceremonies and ob- servances as will make it one of soctalen- | foment and give it an interest which may remembered with pleasure by those wno may participate therein. In addition to this, that the oceasion may be made to con- tribute to the further good of our order, {t 1s proposed to form an endowment association, to be com posed of P. G. Representatives and Past Grand Officers. It is believed that sach an orgspization would resu:t in keeping live the interest in the order among tose | who have received its highest honors and | Fetired from active labor in the cause of | Odd- Fellowship; as it certainly will serve to | bind more closely the past members of the | Grand Lodge of the United States, and se- cure the continued services, for the benefit Of the order, of the brothers who mar, from year to year, become past members of that body.” The grand demonstration of the order gen- erally in honor of the centennial ann! versary of independence wil! take place on Wednes- day, Avgust 20th, and the invitation of the Grand Lodge being general to ail suboi pate organizations of the order, it is exp2« ed that there will be representative bodies from every jurisdiction of the order.

The coroner was immediately bag ap ooo for, and soon appeared with Dr. J. F. Hartigan, and together they made a careiul examination of the premises. The head had been chopped from the body, as also the arms and iegs, and the trunk had been bursted, causing the entrails to pro- trude, and it apprared to have been white- washed. The police on making inquiry ascertained that Tarpin and his wife, Johanna, attend. ed a picnic on the Fourth. After they re- turned home some of the parties heard a fall, when Mrs. Thompson came down and found Mrs. Turpin sitting down. She asked what_was the matter and received the reply that Turpin was drunk. On Wednesday they had a quarrel between !2 and 1 o'clock, and the parties in the house heard @ man groan- ing. The SS girl when she came aome Urat day saw the body lying on the floor aud asked her mother what was the matter, when she replied that SHE HAD CUT HIS THROAT, and in the afternoon she went to work clean- ing up, scrubbing the floor, and giving the wails a thick coat of whitewash.

The front room down: stairs oc: cupied by a man named Rose. The kitchen, in which Tarpin with his wife and children resided, aud in which the deed was com- mitted, is @ small apartment, not larger than eight by ten feet, with a windowon the west side, directly over the ash-pile, and a door on the north side. In the yard there was a little frame shed, in which is a stove and table used by Thompson and wife. In the kitchen were two trunks, one on either side of the room, and @ mass of clothing and @ greatest red to up- hoe imaginabie disorder. The floor a; have been recently scrubbed and there were evidences that the most of the labor had expended about the corner near the door, which would indicate that that was about the spot where the terrible deed was done.
