George E, Ward, a large govern- ment contractor, who is dyking, the Rappahan- nock river at this point. Mr. Ward received a notice from his partners in the business that they would visit him last Sunday and see what progresy he bas been making in his work. ‘They called at Ward’s boarding house, BUT HE WAS NOT FOUND THERE. Inquiries were made, but no one knew the whereabouts of Mr.Ward. The first supposition was that Mr. Ward had gone to Washington to get what is due him from the government which Jead to telegraphic inquiries of the department in Washington, but a reply was received stat- ing that he had not been paid. The next sup- position is that he has met with foul play or taken his own life, ME. WAKD LOST VERY HEAVILY by the recent floods both in labor and a large quantity pf timber, and this worried him con- | siderably. The latest inquiries show that Ward was in Brian's saloon as late as 12 o'clock Saturday night and was seen Sunday morning abont 2 o'clock by some hunters near Hazel Run bridge on the P., F. & P. rail- road. They asked him where he was going that late hour. He replied his mind troubled him and he could not sleep so he was going for a little walk and would return after a while. The hunters wanted him to return with them, but he insisted on going the other way. FEARS OF SUICIDE, It is generaily supposed he has committed suicide, as from what can be iearned he waa very heavily in debt and feared to mect his partner and bondsmen, who came Sunday to see him. The town and vicinity have been carefully searched, but no trace of him can be found. eens Oppose Prussian Aggrandizement.

Upon the conclusion of the opening exercises the balloting for officers began. There were no nominations made. The roll is called of the members by states, As each name is called the member deposits a ballot for the whom they wish to see fill the office. Naturally there is an understanding as to the men to fill din; the im; it offices, which is reached by in- Secmal couluncnten, ‘The present election, as far as the ‘ipal officers were concerned, sent officers was simply a promotion of the one grade ve, A re-cl circumstances it takes a man ten or a reach the position of grand master. THE NEW GRAND MASTER. The first officer voted for today was grand master. The result of the ballot was antici- pated before it was announced officially. It was understood that the present apy grand master, J. P. 8. Gobin, tp would be premoted. y The vote electing Mr. Gobin as grand master was, therefore, practi- cally a unanimous one, there being a few scat- tering votes given to others asa compliment. The announcement of -“the vote for grand mas- = a ter was received with J.P. & GOBIN, long continued — ap- lause, which brought Mr. Gobin to his feet. le made a ringing speech. Gen. Gobin is a state senator from Lebanon, Pa., and general of the third brigate of the national guard of Pennsylvania, OTHER OFFICERS CHOSEN, The next vote resulted in the promotion of Hugh McCurdy, the grand generalissimo, to deputy grand master. Warren LaRue Thomas, the grand captain general, was made grand generalissimo. Reuben H. Lloyd, the grand senior warden was made grand captain geu- eral. Henry Bates Stoddard, the grand prior warden, was made grand senior warden. - Nicholas Van Slyck, who held the appointive oftice of grand sword bearer. was elected grand junior warden. N. Wales Lines was re-elected grand treasurer and William B. Isaacs was re- elected grand recorder. This completed the list of elective officers andthe Grand encampment at 2 o'clock took a recess foran hour. The now officers will prob- ably be installed this afternoon. THE NEXT PLACE OF MEETING. The session this afternoon will be devoted to the consideration of the question of the next place of meeting. The committee to which this matter was referred will present a unanimous report in favor of the selection of Louisville. Amendments, however, will be offered in the interest of Denver, dlilwaukee and. Cincinnati. THE COMMITTEE ON RITUAL was in session during the greater part of the day. They agreed to report in favor of a number of changes in the ritual, which will allow the commanderies to _exerciso their discretion whether to use certain portions or not. They also re- ported a resolution to allow the committee to remain in session after the adjournment of the Grand encampment. The members of the committee expect to be able to report a new or modified ritual at the next meeting of the en- campment, THE IOWA CASE, Grand Commander Varnumof Iowa, in speak- ing today to a Star reporter of the disposition of the Iowa case by the Grand encampment, mentioned elsewhere, said: “The action of the Grand encampment is a happy solution of the vexed questions which have beea raised. It is in the nature of a compromise. The in- tentions of all parties are recognized to have been in the best interests of templar masonry.” ee KNIGHTS AT THE WHITE HOUSE. The President Receives the California and Newark, N. J., Commanderies. The President gave a special reception this afternoon to the sir knights from California. The reception began at 1 o'clock. After 12 the White House was closed to all other vis- itors and kept clear until after the reception. The commanderies left their headquarters at 12:30 and marched to the White House with two bands of niusic. They wero formed in the following order: California, No. 1, of San Francisco ; Oakland, No. 11, of Oakland; Golden Gate, No. 16, of San Francisco, and representatives from Los Angeles, Sacramento, Fresno, Marysville, Vallejo, and other parts of the state, BRILLIANT SCENE IN THE EAST ROOM, They marched into the White House by twos and formed in line in thee ast room, nearly filling it up. A large number of the knights had ladies with them. California has some of the finest appearing knights in the conclave, and it was remarked by some of the oldest attendants of the White House that they were the finest look- ing assemblage of people that had appeared in the east room. Their uniforms were rich, nearly every man was of fine proportions, and they bad a noble military bearing. THE BLACK-PLUMED KNIGHTS. The knights of California, No. 1, with their black plumes and black velvet cloaks trimmed with silver and gold, made a particularly fine appearance, vhen they were presented to the President Past Commander Peter Dean introduced the black-plamed knights as the oldest in Cali- fornia, and made a brief Seti saying that be had come here with hearts full of love, and it was with feelings of patriotism and pride that they came to pay their respects to him. The President replied that he couid but thank them for their friendly words and say in return that he was very glad to see them. He then shook hands with each of the knights and their ladies. THE OAKLAND COMMANDERY, No. 11, was presented by Eminent Sir George D. Met- calf, who said that to see the President had no no small part to do with inducing them to make the journey to Washington. ‘The Golden Gate commandery were intro- duced each by name, the presentation being made by Eminent Commander A. G. Booth, Sir C. G. Young, gen’o, and Col. W. Edwards, cap- tain general. As the knights filed out they lett their cards on the table in ind in room, There were about one hundred and fifty in the e, OTHER RECEPTIONS, When they had departed it was announce dto the President that the Damascus commandery of Newark, N.J., was waiting outside and he re- ceived them at once. “ Meanwhile a crowd had assembled in front of the White House seeking entrance. The Pres- ident amiably asked to have them shown into the eaat room, and in a moment he was holding a public recept’on, which lasted until 2 o’clock, hurrying as fast as they could, He shook hands with them all, notwithstanding that he bad done so much hand-shaking the night before, and did not evince the least fatigue. He had a pleasant greeting for every one and roplied to the remarks made to him with an admirable good nature.

The Big Barbecue for the Knights at the Schuetzen Park. TWo BIG OXEN swUNG OVER THE FreE topAT— PREPARATIONS FOR A GIGANTIC FEAST—SCENES AT THE PaRK—HOW THE OXES ARE ROASTED. UBBLING with Grease, frying, siz- zling, roasting, two enormous lumps of meat hung over the fire was replen- ished with more coals and poked with a great branch of a tree in the hands of a tall negro, who might have posed as one of the stokers of the infernal regions sti the eternal fires beneath mor- tal soula, Yet he did not look diabolic as he Bo per at the plump, well-browned sides of roasting oxen, now plunging a aie into the meat to test. oe condition, now turning the great iron spits a little to bring another surface to the heat; in- stead of that he looked a perfect epicure, and his broad, well extended nostrils seemed to drink in with intense delight THE APPETIZING ODOR of roast beef that arose from the carcasses and was blown southward over the fence toward the city. Tho grease tried from the meat dripped down into the blaze with a continuous sputter and added to the flame. The coals were burning on wide grates laid over trenches dug in the ground about a couple of feet deep and wide aud six feet long. ‘I'he wind was so strong that @ rough siding of boards was erected in front of each spit to keep the flames from being blown out. Some difiiculty was experi- at first in concentrating the heat sufticienfiy to roast the meat thoroughly, and several early comers, expert Templars in the matter of bar- becues. after snifing a bit, expressed opinions that the roast beef would be slightly raw. And indeed the flesh that showed itself when the sable cook slashed the flank of one of the oxen was rather pale, while the outside was a dark crisp, ROASTING A BIG OX. Once ina while one of the roasters dipped a sponge fastened to the end of a stick into a bucket filled with a combination of vinegar, saltand pepper, with which he basted the synteny meat, The vinegar, said the chef, gave the beef a “twang.” This individual talked fondly of the victims on the spits and said he thought would make ‘good bobecue eatin’.” He confided to Tue Srar reporter the thrilling intelligence that he was then standing on the blood of the oxen themselves, but, he added consolingly, as the scribe began to look for the gore, he had strewn dirt over the evidences of his sanguinary act, which was performed early this morning. The oxen, he remarked, weighed 1,390 pounds apiece on’ the hoof and went on the spit at sous sixty pounds to the hundred. This would make each carcass weigh between 800 and 900 pounds. The oxen had come from West Virginia and were about three and a halt years old. HE VOUCHED FOR THE BEEF. A wag standing near suggested to the crowd a possible identity between the roasting meat and a mulo and a horse that disappeared last night from a Prince George county barn, whereat the black butcher grew indignant and declared that ‘them was no hoss an’ no mule, but good, solid beef meat.” The spits were hung over the fire at 10 o'clock this morning and the fires had been burning for four hours. At 2 o'clock, the time fixed for the beginning of the feast, the meat was far from being thoroughly cooked and the commit- tee gave out the intelligence to the rapidly in- creasing crowd of knights that the barbecue meal would probably not be dispensed until 38 o'clock at the earli This was discouraging, espt as the pungent odors of the roast had a tend- ency to sharpen the already keen appetites of the templars and their ladies, The crowd was good natured. however, and occupied the time strolling about the park and pitching rings at elusive cane heads, BREAD AND “FIXINGS.” A bakery wagon drove up about a quarter of 2 and deposited several large boxes filled with sliced broad on tables that surrounded the roasting pita. In an extemporized bar half a dozen aproned artists were preparing to unload the contents of an immense stock of plethoric kegs upon the thirsty gathering, cigar boxes were being opened and prepara- tions were in progress on every side, Chairman Pratt said that he expected there would be fully 5,000 people at the park and he was evidently prophesying on good grounds for every minnte reat conveyances rolled into the park laden with humanity, while the cars outside were filled to overflowing. ‘MR. APPICH TO SLICE IT. The plan was for Mr. J. J. Appich, the butcher, to slice the meat from the roasts, It would then be placed on a small wooden plate with some bread and passed out to the knights, seated around the tables in the park. The bar was to be free and there were sufficient preparations for many thirsty throats, It is not expected in barbecuing meat that the flesh will become cooked ough and through, and so the roasts = are turned as they are cut and as the outer pieces better done than the inner parts, come off, the latter receiving their final sizzling and are browned in tune, The meat is cut in thin slices, WATCHING THE COOK. While the beef was roasting a great many of the hungry ones crowded around the tables to see how a barbecue was conduc! When they saw the satanic looking cook slash the flesh with his knife, tai an e fire with ® small till, or swab the browning sides with his sponge they generally came to the conclusion tuat one’s appetite is better off away from the kitchen, and concluded to wait for their beef somewhcre out of sight. There was something disillusionizing aboutthe process that did not make one hungry. THE COMMITTEE. The arrangements for the barbecue were perfected by the following committee, who officiated at the park today in caring for their hungry brethren: Geo. W. Pratt, chairman; Martin R. Thorpe, Jas. H. Waddell; assisted by sir knights Hocke- meyer. Appich and Ruppert on the part of the Scheutzen verein, and on the purt of the com- manderies, No. 1, W. H. Oleoit, Z, T. Carpenter, A. D.

Jacobson, Lewis Beyer and John L. Vog:. WHAT ONE OX WILL FEED, “How many people will one of these oxen feed?” asked the reporter of the satanic cook. “About eight hundred or a thousand,” was the repiy, and the scribe scuttled off aown 7th- street road for Tar Star office, chewing on the problem ot how to feed 5,000 people with rations enough for 2,000. It was something like the Biblical loaves and fishes, and unless there is some sort of a miracle or Chairman Pratt's prophesy is incorrect some one is going to be hungry.
