Commanderies Arranging to Come to Washington—Templar Notes. The corresponding secretary of the triennial committee has received a late report from Wash- ington Commandery, No. 1, of Hartford, Conn, They are going to bring to the conclave seven- ty-five knights, fifteen ladies and @ band of twenty-one pieces, and will locate at 1405 H street northwest. Under the head of remarks the recorder of this commandery says: “Our commandery wasorganized July, 1796, and its written records exist from June 9, 1801, to the present time. We claim to be the oldest exist- ing commandery in the country, and the only one that every received @ charter from Eng- land.” Information has also been received from the eminent commander of South Carolina Com- mandery, No. 1, Charleston, S. C., to the effect xpect to come in force. and asking | for full inforn They claim also to be the | oldest commandery of Kuights Templar in the country, dated from 1780. In this connection it may be well to state | that the oldest grand commandery in the United States is that of Massachusetts and Kode Island, organized May 6, 1805, and that | morc than the usual intrest is being mani- fested throughout their entire jurisdiction in | the coming conclave. They have so far made arrangements to bring 22 commanderies, with a total number of about 1,500 sir knights, the | large majority of which will leave Boston Sat- | urday afternoon.

They were much pleased with their treatment by the fraters of No. 1, and threaten to make it lively for any member of Washing- ton Commandery that may wander out in the neighborhood of St. Paul. Commanderies throughout the country of late years have been in the habit of selectin, some prominent Masonic day in the year and on that day attending divine service in a body. In this District Wash, ton Commandery has for many years selected Ascension Day, Colum- bia and De Molay have agreed upon Good Fri- day, and last year, for the first time, Potomac Commandery selected St. John’s Day on which thus publicly to march to some church And listen to an appropriate sermon. This year Washington, Columbia, and De Molay have already been out for this purpose, and on Sun- day, the 23d instant (this being the nearest ¥ to St. John's Day), Potomac Com- jery will attend Divine service at St. An- 8 chureh, corner of 14th and Corcoran streets, at 8p.'m. Washington Commandery, having accepted the invitation of Potomac, will assemble at their asylum, and, preceded by the District Militia band, will march to George- town and tender Potomac an escort to the church named. At the conclusion of the ser- vices Potomac will escort Washington Com- mandery to the temple, 9th and F streets, and then return to Georgetown. MEETING OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. The executive committee, in charge of the arrangements for the triennial conclave, to be held in this city next October, met at their dquarters inthe Atlantic building Saturday The corresponding secretary, Mr. m Dingman, said that quarters had been secured for 180 commanderies, of whose members would be accompanied by their families, and some of the best bands of music in the country would also be in at- tendance. The indications are that the street parade will be participated in by from eighteen to twenty thousand Knights Templar. A statement was submitted showing that | commanderies would be present in force from the following states: Culiforr 5 chusetts, twenty-three; Mic nois, thirty-five; Indiana, six; Connecticut, four; Minnesota, three; Missouri, three; New Jersey, seven; New York, eighteen; Ohio, | eighteen; Pennsylvania, twenty-one, and Vii ginia, five.

C., MONDAY, JUNE 1 A QUIET SUNDAY. But It Was Very Hot in Johnstown— Report as to the Dead. Yesterday was very hot in Johnstown and the sun brought out the dreadful odor from the debris and undi bodies toa sickening éx- tent. Very little work was done on the ruins and the day was given up to devotion at the open air meetings, which were held in various parts of the town. The important feature of Saturday's work on the wrecked city was the opening of the gorge at the stone bridge. This gigantic task is the topic of the hour and its completion required 2,000 pounds of dynamite, making a total of 10,000 pounds used on this workalone, This was not accomplished with- out some damage being done. In the office of the Cambria iron works a ceiling was cracked and all the windows in the firstward school house were smashed. A house in Kernville was thrown off its foundation. Now that the chan- nel has been opened the work is comparatively easy. Judge Advocate-General John I. Rogers this evening handed to Gen, Hastings his official report on the situation. It is complete in every detail, aud has been compiled after a week's careful and steady work. The report is in an- swer to — questions b; n. Hastings as to the disposition of the children orphaned by the great flood, an approximation of the number of human lives there are sacrificed, and the names of these as well as of the sur- viving inhabitants, azout 4,000 pEap. In his answer to the first question Col. Rogers states that applications have been received from individuals, lay and ecclesiastical, asso- ciations and asylums, charitable and religious, offering homes to the fatherless and mother- less children, but there are so few remaining, and those few so dear and precious to their surviving relatives, that but one orphan in the Conemaugh valley has thus far been found whose adoption ‘by outside parties could be legally consummated. As to the second question the judge-advocate ie doubts if even an approximation can made as to the number of deaths, An esti- mate, founded on the best obtainable evidence, rather than an approximation, is all that can be reasonably hoped for. Unfortunately the number of the unidentified bodies gre a large Proportion of those found, and are likely to re- main so, Outside the sacred and sentimental regrets connected with this lack of identifica- tion, and with the large list of missing whose fate is uncertain, future questions of pedigree and consanguinity are likely to arise and con- fuse titles and the transmissions of estates. The report estimates the total survivors in the devastated district at about 25,000 and the dead at 4,000. A WRECKED ENGINE HOISTED, Yesterday the wrecked engine of the limited express was hoisted to the track at Conemaugh. The double tracks will be down as far as Al- toona by the middle of the week. There are 3,600 men at work onthe Pennsylvania road tracks between Johnstown and South Fork, 600 of whom are experienced track men. Six bodies were recovered yesterday. They were in an advanced stage of decomposition, and were buried without identification, The channel in the drift was ne twenty feet in the afternoon, and last night 150 barrels of oil were emptied on the drift and ignited, The wreckage burned fiercely for 200 race and the entire valley was illuminated. The de- bris was searched previous to being fired, but no bodies were found. 4 LETTER FROM VICE-PRESIDENT MORTON, Adjutant-General Hastings is in receipt of the following: Evenstir, RuINectiry-ox-ITcpsow, Juno 10.

Henry Gamble swallowed carbolic acid at the Palmer house in Chicago Saturday evening, and died in a few minutes, Gamble was at one time one of the biggest real estate dealers in Chicago, About a year ago he fitted up the big building at Indiana and Clark streets, and called it the Palace hotel, The place was never opened. ‘The building inspectors condemned it and Gamble could find no tenants, Other reverses in land and building speculation made him despondent, and it is thought that this trouble prompted him to take his life. Gamble owned the chamber of commerce building and astreet railway in Toledo, and is said to have left property worth $500,000. He was found in ed dressed only ina night shirt. On a table were two bottles, One of these contained carbolic acid. The other was filled with a mix- ture of carbolic acid aud water, The under- taker said the man had taken two doses of ison.
