There was the vsual delay conse- quent to the formation of great processions, but all was shortly after 10 o'clock, and ty 10:55 the long jine was in motion, the signal for the start as greeted by the cheers and salutes of 10,000 people gathered near the start. An Inspiring Sight. As the gieat body of knights moved down Commonwealth avenue the spectacle was an inspiring one. The music of 100 bands and the applause of thousands of people filled the air; gaily bedecked horses pranc- ed at the head of each division, while the contrast of the Cignified black cloth of the uniforms, the waving of the rich plumes, the silver and gold embl2ms which are con- spicuous in the Templar uniform, presented a scene that was pleasing and impressive. The leading division of the pageant, pre- ceded by platoons of Boston’s sturdy po- licemen, was very imposing. The Parade. The first division, which was led by Right Eminent Sir Semuel C.

KNIGHTS TO MEET HERE The Qoming Convention of the General Assembly. Questions to Be Considered—Mr.Martin Looks for the Election of a K. of L. President. The meeting of the General Assembly of the Knights of Labor which will be held in Washingtcn November 13 and continue for two weeks is expected to be one of the most important conventions that has ever been held in the interests of the order. The body will be composed of over one hundred delegates, who will come from every section of this country and Canada. As the officers who were elected at the last meeting of the General Assembly were chosen for two years the -session of 1805 will be mainly devoted to discussions in reference to amending the constitution so that the order of the K. of L. may be kept abreast of the times. In speaking today of the convention Mr. H. B. Martin, a member of the executive board, said: ‘The Knights of Labor is a Progressive organization and aims to be able to meet all emergencies as they shall arise. During the ensuing year there will undoubtedly arise new questions between lebor and monopoly, and the Knights of Labor want to be prepared to meet them. “The proposition of President Cleveland, through his friend, E. C. Benedict, the New York banker, that a gold party shall be founded will undoubtedly command a full share of the attention of the General Assembly, and a plan to knock out the scheme and also to keep democratic speak- ers from discussing the financial question, which is now being considered by promi nent officials of the order, will certainly re- ceive the attention it will deserve. “We expect,” continued Mr. Martin, “to lay plans at the General Assembly which shall result in electing a member of the Knights of Labor to the presidency of the United States in 1896, and if the next Pres- ident 1s not a member of the K. of L. he will be a man who Is in strong sympathy with laboring people. “This gort of talk may not strike the People of the east very forcibly, but in the west, from which I have just returned, the democrats and republicans are leaving the old parties and flocking in shoals to the people's party, and if there is to be a gold party candidate, a democratic, a republican and a people's party nominee for the chief magistracy of the nation, the latter will be elected with the greatest ease. “The Knights of Labor intend, of course, to make their fight in '96 with the people's party, and they will see to it that the in- comé tax and money questions are present- ed to the people in their true colors. “The imprisonment of Debs and his as- sociates of the American Rallway Union will prove to be a powerful lever toward the election of the people's party nominee for the presidency, and plans to give force to this will be formulated at the meeting of the General Assembly.” —_——] HEADQUARTERS CROWDED. More Room Needed for the Storage of Property. The police department is sadly in need of more room, and unless the Commission- ers can find additional room in the present building for this department it may be- come necessary next year to find quartars for the department elsewhere. Chief Clerk Sylvester’s quarters are terribly cramped just at present. During the past few weeks the property that has come into his hands by reason of his position would fill several houses. There is no place in headquarters where all this property can be stored, and one of the stables is now being used for the storage of household property. Among the effects are the goods that belong to the Bitting family, which include a horse and cow, in addition to household property. Then he has goods enough to fill a house, taken on a search warrant, as well as the effects of Mrs. Skidmore, widow of Policeman Skid- more. She is insane. In addition to all this, he has the stock of goods in the store of H. A. Nagel, on 4% street. Nagel 1s the man who committed suicide. An effort will be made to get larger quar- ters, and if more rooms in the present building cannot be spared, Congress will be asked this winter to make an appropria- tion sufficient for the renting of another building. ——>___ Condition of Officers. The committee appvinted to consider and report on the cases of Public Officers Drane, Preston and Auldridge, and ex-Detective Wheeler, has made its report. In the cases of Officer Auldridge and ex-Detective Wheeler, their retirement on a pension of $50 a month was recommended, while in the case of Officer Preston the committee found that he will be ready to return to duty in about a month. Officer Preston fell and broke his leg last winter, but he has so far improved that the surgeons think he will able to return to duty next raonth. In the case of Officer Drane no recom- mendation will bé made until additional prcof is heard. BAPTIST ASSOCIATION Meeting ef the Representatives of Colored Churches in Anngal Session. ‘The Introductory Sermon’ Delivered— Interesting Subjects to Be Discuss- ed During the Meéting. The nineteenth annual meeting of zhe Mount Bethel Baptist “Association was called to order at 11 o'clock today !n the Mount Zion Baptist Chufch, "of which the Rev. Alexander Wilbanks 1s pastor, on 13th and E streets northeast. The association is composed of the colored Baptist churches of, the states of Maryland, Virginia,and the Dis- trict of Columbia. Today’s annual session was called to order by the Rev. W. H. Hickerson of the Little Ark Baptist Church of King George county, Virginia. By des- ignation the Rev. W. H. Johnson, the pas- tor of the Israel Baptist Church of this city, delivered the annual sermon to the association. His subject was ‘Sovereignty and Salvation,” and he selected as the basis of his remarks the text from the 45th chapter of Isaiah and the 22d verse— “Look unto Me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is none else.” The effort was an excellent ones and was commended by the associa- lon. Getting Down to Business. At the conclusion of the sermon several of the members of the association were nominated for moderator for the coming year, and the chair announced tellers to de- cide who was selected. The selection of the other officers of the association consumed the remaining time of the morning session, and in the afternoon committees on new churches, on corresponding bodies, on ar- rangements, devotional exercises, on dig2st of letters, on arbitration, on condolence, on printing, on resolutions, on finance, on forelgn missions, education, Sunday schools, and the executive committee were announced. The committee on devotional exercises assigned the different sermons which are to be preached, as follows: ‘The Christian. Hope,” Rev. C. C. Washington, alternate, Rev. N. Jackson; the doctrinal sermon, Rev. Alexander Wilbanks; missionary ser- mon, Rev. R. Parker; “Brotherhood of Man,” Rev, H. C. Robinson; ‘Reason and Revelation, . T. Brooks; “God's Purposes of Grace,” Rev. James Robinson. The doctrinal sermon will be delivered at this evening's session. The various committees which were an- nounced will submit their reports during temorrow's session, and the different phases of church work in the association will be discussed. Questions to Be Discussed. ‘The body will be in session for three days, and as each church of the connec- tion is entitled to three alternates, quite a number will be in attendance. The ques- tion which will occupy mostly the atten- tion of the association will be the report of the committee which has under super- vision the Old Folks’ Home which is con- ducted by the association, and is located on_the banks of the Potomac. ‘The statistical reports which will be sub- mitted will show what has been the prog- ress of the body during the past fiscal year. The missionaries who are connected with the association will tell during tomor- row what territory they have covered and what success they have accomplished. The missionaries are: Rev. J, H.-Lindsey and L. E. Miller. The report: of ‘the executive board will occupy much of the assoclation’s time, as this board has general supervision of the workings of the: association. The members of the board include: Revs. C. R. Champ, Z. Gainer, C. C; Washington, H. ¢. Robinson, R. Parker,’ James Watkins, A. Wilbanks,-B. L. Phillips, W. H. Hicker- son, W. H. Johnson, W, T. Brooks and Messrs. Tucker Beverly and b. Harrod. Churches Represented.

Six prisoners, three white and three col- ered, escaped from Cumberland jail last night and are now in West Virginia. One of them, a forger named Carpenter, was recaptured. QUAY MEN SEATED (Continued from First Page.) lee Gtilkeson roll or the committee's roll is stand. “Did you ever hear of such a thing as a candidate before a convention (for that is what Gilkeson is) presuming to usurp all the powers of the state committee and pack @ convention with his own followers? But I can tell you this much, Senator Quay’s forces will not bolt the convention. There will be no necessity of their doing so. I believe we have a majority of the dele- gates, even on the roll made up by Mr. Gilkeson, We shall have a clear majority of four men who were fairly elected and given seats, or if all the contesting dele- gates are admitted and given a half vote each.” Sixty Uninstructed. It is impossible to ascertain the strength of either side in this battle. The simple truth is, neither Quay nor Gilkeson knows just where he stands. Each claims a ma- jerity, but both decline to give figures. About sixty delegates were chosen before this faction war begun. These delegates are uninstructed and many of them are un- pledged. These are the men who realiy ‘hold the balance of power, and they know it. These uninstructed delegates are lying low. Few of them are here. They have resisted all efforts to secure their pledge for one side or the other. The difference between the political meth- ods being pursued by the two factions is obvious and the contrast is in Mr. Quay’s favor. The combine’s lieutenants are more accustomed to ward politics than to run ning a state campaign, while in the latter field “the old man” is perfectly at home. This is not surprising, considering that one-half of the Hastings-Gilkeson strength comes from the cities of Pittsburg and Philadelphia. Mr. Quay’s strength in the state, outside these boss ruled municipalities, is shown by his overwhelming control of the state committee. Probably 100 of the 121 state committemen are with him. Of the sixty- seven counties in the state all but fifteen or sixteen have sent a majority of their deie- gates in his favor. Mr. Quay’s personal popularity among his followers is remarkable. Mr. Quay is not only shrewd, but bold. His tactics yester- day were in line with his whole procedure. Tonight he will play his trump card, when he .will hold a caucus of his delegates. Every political manager knows how haz- ardous this device is in a close contest. It is a “show down.” £ Quay’s Shrewd Game. Mr. Quay is playing a shrewd game with the six superior court judges who are can- didates for re-election. These judges were appointed by Gov. Hastings, and are natur- ally inclined to favor the administration. But they are now worried by a fear that Quay will control the convention and de- feat the nomination of some of them. The Senator has not announced his in- tention to oppose these judges, nor has he given any pledge that they shall be numi- nated. He is holding a sword over them, and the more timid or eager of their num- ber are shov.ing an inclination to assure their own success by mollifying Mr. Quay. These judges control twenty-seven votes in the ccnyention. In the Background. A notable feature of events at the com- bine headquarters this afternoon is the fact that the “city bosses,” Magee, Martin and Porter, are keeping in the background. Gov, Hastings is put forward as the decoy for the country delegates. Hastings is popular and magnetic. He is well known to the people, and the tall form of the handsome governor is the most con- spicuous figure in the room, where a throng of delegates and visitors is constantly passing. Each man is greeted by the gov- ernor, given a cordial handshake and a pleasant word. At the Quay headquarters the Senator was on deck early in the day, and also held a reception. He holds a strong hand in the game of magnetism and personal pop- ularity himself and plays it to the best ad- vantage. Considerable money is changing hands in betting on the outcome. In each hotel Quay men are stationed and are loudly offering to bet large sums at 2 to 1 on Quay. Some of the bets are bluffs and have been called down, but several were made for $250 and $300 at 2 to 1 on Quay. The chances are good for a physical struggle for the possession of Convention Hall tomorrow. Both sides are determined to secure the admission of the delegates who appear on their rolls, and in order to do this will struggle to take charge of the doors, An Anti-Quay Trick. The combine people played a neat trick this afternoon to get hold of the hall early in the game. The convention is to be held In the opera hous® and a variety troupe has been giving afternoon and evening per- formances there. This afternoon the com- bine made a deal with the variety manager for the house. The theatrical folks aban- doned the place, well content at the price paid for their absence, and are on a holi- day, while Chairman Gilkeson’s muscular henchmen are in actual possession of the hall. The Quay contesting delegates can only get in by actual force now, and Gilke- son is issuing tickets only to his own people. There is great indignation among the friends of Senator Quay at the declaration of the opposition to refuse admittance to their friends, and their vigorous threats of violence, while some advise taking the mat- ter into court. N. O. M. SEATED THE QUAY DELEGATES. Session of the State Com- ittee. Short By Associated Press. HARRISBURG, Pa., August 27.—The ad- Journed meeting of the republican state committee convened in the Lochiel Hotel parlors at 11 o'clock this morning to hear reports of the subcommittee appointed at yesterday’s meeting. Chairman Gilkeson, whose duty it is to preside over the de- lberations of the state committee, con- tinues to ignore the meeting, which, he declares, is unauthorized, because it was not called together by him, and Temporary. Chatrman Thomas V. Cooper occupied the chair. At the conclusion of the roll-call Mr. Cooper announced that 78 of the 121 mem- bers were either present or represented by proxy. Congressman Robinson, one of the mem- bers from Delaware county, who was active in securing the present session of the state committee, replying to a news- Paper statemeht that some of the names signed to the call for the meeting of the committee were used without authority, de- clared that he has letters and telegrams from all of them authorizing the printing of their names on the call, and inviting any one who doubted his word to call at his room and inspect the documents. Lieutenant Governor Walter Lyon of Pittsburg presented the report of the com- mittee on credentials, which places the name of H. W. Bardwell of Wyoming coun- ty on the Quay roll. Mr. Lyon stated that the committee found that Mr. Bardwell was chosen under the party rules and was presented with the proper credentials and that the delegate chosen in January, when there was an election of county delegates to a convention to choose a candidate to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Ccngressman Myron B. Wright, could not be a delegate under the county rules be- cause he was not elected within six months of the meeting of the state convention. Mr. Lyon further reported that the com. mittee found that the four contesting dele- gates from the first ward of Philadelphia and the one from the fifth were properly chosen, and the committee unanimously added their names to the roll. With reference to Northumberland county, the legality of the credentials of whose three delegates contested, Mr. Lyon said the subcommittee had not full information, and he therefore reported progress. Albert Miller of Dauphin county of the subcommittee on convention hall reported progress. There being no further business, Con- gressman Stone of Allegheny moved that the ccmmittee take a recess until 11 o'clock tonight. Agreed to. Both Mr. Stone and Temporary Chairman Cooper impressed upon the committeemen the importance of being present tonight, as business of great importance is likely to come up. This morning's session lasted about twenty minutes. Kept in by the Rain. Harrisburg is today reveling in the first rain of any consequence that has fallen since last April. The result is that the operations of the badge fiends and “‘shout- ers” are confined to the lobbies and hall- INDEX TO ADVERTISEMENTS.

At noon not more than 100 of the 289 delegates have arrived. Both of the staie headquarters are open. Secretary Rex presides over the Quay rooms at the Lochiel Hotel, and Chairman Gilkeson is in command in the parlors of the Commonwealth Hotel, where he was compelled to establish headquarters yesterday after the Quay people had cap- tured the rooms he had engaged at the Lochiel. . At both hotels delegates are registering, and arrangements are being perfected for the seating of delegates, newspaper men and spectators in the opera house, where the convention will be held tomorrow. The present prospect is that there will be two sets of admission tickets and an inevitable clash of authority. Whether the clash will be carried to the extent of two conventions will probably be decided by the events cf the day. The leaders of both sides profess to believe that there will not be two conventions. The fact remains, however, that both factions are provided with the usual printing and blank forms, and are going through the motions of registering delegates and instructing them as to the methods of choosing their representatives on the standing committees. The leaders of both factions held confer- ences this morning, but the results of these gatherings are not apparent. eee EXAMINING BOARD. To Look Into Qualifications of Physi- cians to the Poor. The physicians’ examining board, which consists of Drs. W. P. Carr, J. Wesley Bovee, J. Ramsay Nevitt and Austin O'Malley, held a meeting today and or- ganized. Dr. Carr was selected as presi- dent of the board, and Dr. Nevitt secre- tary. It was decided to make preparations at once for examining applicants for posi- tions on the staff of physicians to the poor. It was arranged that Dr. Carr would prepare questions In anatomy and physiology, Dr. Bovee in gynecology and obstetrics, Dr. Nevitt in materia medica, therapeutics, hygiene and chemistry, and Dr. O'Malley in practice. The applicants will be required to pass both a written and oral examination in the branches above mentioned, and diagnose a case at one of the hospitals. ——__ The Case Nolle Prossed. There was a warrant returned to the Po- lice Court this morning in which Mrs. Mary S. Marsh, matron of the Young Woman's Christian Home, was charged with assault. The warrant was sworn out by a girl named Said M. Gilder, who sent a letter to Judge Mills asking that a severe penalty be imposed. Then she failed to ap- pear. It is said that the Gilder girl went to the home on C street two nighte ago and asked to be admitted, but was refused because she did not have the necessary ermit, She then screamed and caused a littla excitement. When the case was called in court this morning the Gilder girl failed to answer, and the warrant was nolle prossed. —— Tyler Sentenced. Andrew Tyler, the young colored man who participated in a fight near 17th and B streets Saturday night with another eclored man named Albert Hawkins, as published in yesterday’s Star, surrendered to the police last night, and this morning he appeared in Judge Mills’ court and plead guilty to a charge of assault. While en- gaged in the fight Tyler stabbed Hawkins in the back several times. In consideration of his conduct subsequent to the assault, and also because of his plea of guilty, the court made the penalty only $25 or sixty days in jail. —_.>__ Cases Against Rhodes. Julius D. Rhodes, who has figured in a number of Police Court cases, was com- plained against yesterday by his daugh- ter, who charged that he was gullty of dis- orderly conduct and profanity. Policeman Marr served the warrant on the defendant at his home in Twining and he left $5 col- lateral for his appearance. When the case was called in the Police Court this morning the defendant appeared, but his daughter was not in court, and the case went over. His wife and son were present and they claimed that last night Rhodes assaulte his wife and daughter. They alleged tha’ three of the daughter's ribs were broken, and a warrant for alleged assault was is- sued for him. Both cases will be heard Thursday. ——_—_ THE KITTELL SUICIDE.

The Year’s Work of a Local Charity - Organization. Mrs. Sarah D. La Fetra, president of the Hope and Help Mission, called at the Com- missioners’ office today and presented to Commissioner Truesdell the annual report of the mission. During the year $1,700 was received in donations, and the expenses were $1,767.25. During the year 19,849 meals and lunches were served, and Icdg- ings furnished 6,785; 125 service places were found for inmates. Continuing, the report says: “Our beneficiaries are largely women who = pee bre poe and = to a eir own any employment wi could be secured for them under the ait cumstances. Many of them have been be- trayed, and going from us in due time to the city hospitals, have become mothers. We have again cared for them after con- finement with their children, until we could secure homes for them, or send them back to friends in the city or adjacent states. Others have been led to abandon victous Iives and have been cénverted new and better ways of living, thro in the motherly advice and counsel of ladies of the board, through faith and prayer. All have willingly taken part in the generai work of —: home, and {i the veriest exception where one has no’ been deeply grate! for the help she has recelyed. Many worthy but destitute men have been sheltered at the home for days or months, and the usefulness o! home has been thus largely -increased, while the demand upon it is greater. We ask for a larger appropriation next year, feeling that we should secure a larger building, as the drain upon our charity tg far greater than ever before. Wo ask the Commissioners’ aid in securing such ap- propriation.” Harbor Regulations. ‘The first case under the new harbor ulations was heard in the Police Court to- day. Policeman Russell Dean, who is pilot of the police boat Joe Blackburn, made the complaint. He complained that Capt. Elias Grayson had obstructed the channel between the lines of P and K streets ex- tended with his vessel, and the defendant plead guilty. The officer explained to the court that this was the first case under the sedge he did not care to have a fine im- posed. The river men have had an idea hereto- fore that only the custom house officers ha a right to interfere with them and see that they obeyed the law, and it was for the purpose of getting an expression from the court on this question that the case was really brought. The court did not hesitate to decide in favor of the river police, and the captain's persoral bonds were taken. ——<—— Slightly Hurt. ‘Two young colored men—William Lee and Robert Quiet—engaged in a fight on Pierce street last night, during which Lee was stabbed with a small penknife. The wounded man was sent to the hospital and his alleged assailant escaped. —_—_ The Star Out of Town, THE EVENING STAR will be sent by mail to any address in the United States or Canada for such period as may be desired at the rate of fifty cents per month.
