Last evening about 9 o'clock as a command- ery was passing down F street John Goebel A RUSH TO MOUNT VERNON. Thousands of Knightly Pilgrims Go Down the River. COMMANDERIES—SCENES AT THE RIVER FRONT TODAY—TEN THOUSAND PEOPLE WHO COULD NOT GET ABOARD, OUNT VERNON was 9 veritable Mecca of pilgrims today. When the " steamer Corcoran started on its morning trip it was loaded to the water's edge with visiting Knights Templar with their wives, child- ren, and sweet- ee, We» hearts, On the wharf stood hundreds of disappointed ones as the boat med away, but then there were more boats and that fact consoled them until they found that they did not all go to Mount Vernon. There was music in the air, banners were Upricied in the sunshine, and streamers were hoisted to the top of every projection on the steamers, A GREAT CRUSH. There were more steamers along the river front than the river men ever saw at one time before, and the people, like the steamers, were in greater numbers than they had ever been before in that locality. Capt. Blake, who had general supervision overall the boats going to Mount Vernon, looked his best under the trying circum- stances, and they were very trying. There were thousands of people along the wharves. Nearly all of them were strangers and were, of course, obliged to ask all sorts of questions. The boats that were to make the passage to Mount Vernon were the W. W. Corcoran, Ex- celsior, George Law, Westmoreland of Balti- more, and Jane Moseley. ‘ THE ILLINOIS PILGRIMS, The Mlinois Grand commandery provided for their knights and friends and chartered the “Jumbo of the Potomac,” the Excelsior. Invitations were sent out to hundreds of sir knights and friends to take part in memorial services at the tomb of Washington. The hour of departure named in the invita- tion was 8 o'clock, but it was changed to 9 o'clock, and long before that hour the wharf was crowded with enough persons to fill sev- eral steamera, The steamer Corcoran was the first to leave. The weather was as fine agitcould possibly have been, and the river was clear of steamers as far down as could be seen. Thus many parties of friends were separated, some being left on the wharf while others were off on their patriotic journey to see the tomb of the father of his country, Ten o'clock arrived before any of the mem- bers of the Illinois commanderies put in ap- pearance at the riverfront. In the meantime the steamboat company, after admitting those who presented invitations, sold tickets to enough more persons to uncomfortably crowd the boat. In the office tickets were eold at $1 each but a number of scalpera went out among the crowd and sold them at an advance of twenty- five cents. When the boat was finally crowded it pushed off trom the wharf, leaving apparently as many behind as there were betore the boat was loaded. THEY TOOK ANOTHER BOAT. Soon after the Excelsior teftthe wharf, band playing ‘‘Marching through Georgia, was heard coming down 7th street. It was beading some of the Illinois commanderies, They were just coming to goon the boat, but the band on the steamer was playing “The irl iI left bebind x me.” a je steamer George Leary soon appeare and the sir knights and ladies of Tincls who were left behind were then cared for. Eminent Grand Commander Gassetts was in command. The following commanderies were in line: Apollo, No, 1, of Chicago, one hundred and twenty-five knights and ladies; Blaney com- mandery, No. 3, of Morris, twenty-five Knights; Hugh de Payens, No. 29, of Carrolton, irty knights; Gorin commandery, No. 14, twenty-five knights; Chicago commandery, No, 19, seventy-five knights and ladies; 8t. Bernurd commandery of Chicago, one bundred knights and a band; Godfrey de Bouillion, No, 44, of Mattoon, twenty knigh' Beaumanior, No, 9, of Decatur, forty knigh' DeMolay of Bloomington, one hundred knights and ladies; Sterling commandery, No. 57, fifty- seven knights; Englewood | commandery, No. 59, the youngest commandery in the state, "thirty-five knights. With them were three bands of muxic, the second regiment band with Apollo command- ery, the Bioumington band and the Hamilton band of Canada with St. Bernard commandery. They were accompanied by the Weber quartetie of Rockfort. Il. ihey were Messrs Myron E. Barues, C. G. Rogers, 8. J. West and H.1 eure, who were at the Harrison inuugura- ion, Among the guests was the Grand com- mandery of New H»mpshire, APPROACHING MOUNT VERNON, It was nearly 11 o'clock when the Leary left the 7th street wharf. When the steamer passed Fort Washington the people at the fort were assembled on the wharf and cheered. Thousands of handkerchiefs on the boat re- sponded, and then a hundred or more voices sang “Hold the Fort, for I am Coming.” In a few minutes Mount Vernon was reached and then the merry crowd of visitors hurried to get off the bout and see the tomb of George Washington. TER MEMORIAL SERVICES. About noon the entire party, numbering sev- eral thousand people, gathered on the lawn in front of the old mansion, where memorial ex- erciseg were held and an oration was delivered by Sir Knight Rev. Dr. G. C. Lorimer of Chi* cago, Afterward the Weber quartette ren- dered several choice selections, Lunch and refreshments were served, The boats mentioned above were wi adequate to carry the thousands of wanted to visit W: n's tomb, and more et hey Lapis peuple, itis b pecurrase were obliged to return to the city and postpone their visit to Mt. Vernon to another day, ‘THE CROWDED STREET CARB, There were not enough of them nor did they seat enough persons, The cars that went to- ward the wharf before 11 o'clock were all over- sored, Many people rode on the tops of bening Star. WASHINGTON, D. C.. WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1889. some Eee fi and others other- wise, ere was such a rush for the boats that the police had to guard the visitors to see that none of them were given an involuntary ducking. Commodore Sutton, on the police boat Joe Blackburn, did excellent service, The boat patroled the river all the morning ready to pick up any one who went overboard, This afternoon when the boats returned, one after another, there was another busy scene, and the street cars reaped a harvest. Although there were such large crowds to cross the narrow gang planks not «@ single person went overboard. Tomorrow will be another excursion day to give the disap- Pointed ones a chance to go to Mount Vernon. 4 CONSOLATION TRIP, This afternoon the steamer Mary Washing- ington, Captain Randall, took a large party of visiting knights down the river for a sail and will return before dark, A no- ticeable feature of the excursion was the absence of Washington knights who remained away in order to give that many more bolt ag visitors an opportunity to go on the : —_—____ THE PRESIDENT’S RECEPTION. Arrangements for the Levee at the White House Tonight. Preparations are being made at the White House for the reception of the knights and their Indies tonight. The red, blue and green par- lors and the great east room are decorated with palms and potted plants. Meanwhile the Visitors are not waiting for the reception to get & peep at the interior of the executive man- sion. The east room is all of the house that is open to them, and all day long they have kept that room almost as full as if a public recep- tion were in progress, The seats are being placed for the musicians in the grounds just south of the White House and CoH oypenraesee are being made for the light- ing of the grounds with colored electric light. The visitors will have to form in line in front of the White House on Pennsylvania avenue side and be admitted in order of precedence, None but uniformed knights and the ladies companying them will be admitted within the grounds, ‘the outer gates at the north front of the White House will be opened at 8:15 o'clock, Curriages will drive in by the gate on Penn- sylvania avenue nearest the Treasury depart- ment and drive immediately around the ellipse and out at the gate on Pennsylvania avenue the War, State and Navy building. Those coming on foot will enter by the Penn- sylvania uvenue gate nearest tne War, State and Navy building, forming in line to theWhite house door, ‘The door to the White House will be opened at 8:25 o’clock., THE MUSIO, The Marine baud will be standing in the lobby and will announce the arrival of the President, Mrs, Harrison and the rest of the receiving party by playing Hail to the Chief.

From the green parlor there will be an exit to thesouth grounds, where the illumination and the music will be, The guests may then pass at ouce into the grounds,or may go into the east room first.

The Free Press says: Betore anything can be done by the govern- ment it will be necessary to find Mr, Martin, No one knows where he is, not even his col- leagucs, Some weeks ago he went east, He tried hard, even to the extent of lying, to get away unnoticed, He went to Ottawa and New York. Mr. Oakes, president of the Northern Pacific, ives in New York, and between him and Mr. Martin there are little private business dealings of greut interest to the latter. No doubt Mr. Martin went to New York to look alter these, He was atterward seen in Toronto, atwhich place all trace of him is lost.

Amoag the many questions he asked in his nervous incisive way was one as to the percentage of illiterate persons in England. An approximate estimate being given him he bluntly expressed his surprise at the existence of such a condition of popular ignorance ina country so wealthy and so high in the scale of civilization, His comments were repeated to the queen, who lost no time in laying the mat- ter before her advisers and requesting them to suggesta remedy. The persistent agitators, wuo have for so many years kept the question of free schools before the public in spite of their discouraging experiences, feel at last that there is prospect of seeing their labors crowned with «uccess but they complain bit- terly of the indifference of most people of high asec and the open hostility of others, who lo not hesitate to proclaim education the par- ent of socialism and ansrchy, and frankly say that the common people know too much al- ready.

He bas drawn out of the state treasury and from a special fund $40,880 without right, and covered up his act by depositing false vouchers. He bas put upon the market $303,000 of state bounds which had been declared void and which had been in- trusted to him to be destroyed. He reported they had been destroyed) He deliberately made a further issue of 70,000 of other secu- rities and through others placed them in the Various banks of the city, and money has been obtained upon them. is only duty was to keep these securities and turu them over to his successor. This, I think, is enough, without saving more.” i The attorney general's view as to the liability of the state is uot shared by the commercial community, and if ex-Treasurer Burke fails to make good his promise to protect holders against loss,a «trong effort will be made to secure & recognition of the state's liability and eta for the payment of the bonds from ¢ le eae An American Consul’s Son Indicted.
