The ohief of tlfe Locomotive Engi

the last seventeen years has paid out
$2 000.000 to widows and orphans, and
500,000 to its needy members. The
statement, in connection with what we
already know of the character and
habits of the organisation, extorts oar
admiration and respect. One of its con
spicuous principles is fidelity to con
tracts a regard; for the rights of others
as well as resolute maintenance of its

The iwvelties in gloves; this fall are
dear to the heart of all French women,
namely, all delicate tints of dove gray,

ters offer in preference to the long fa
vored ton and beige shades The latter,
however, are still highly popular with
!a large elass cf best-dreeeed wom-n, and
the new autumn tints in these begin
with a pale chamois, dark j ecru and a
yellow russet for deeper tints. Of the
novel colors for shopping and street wear
generally are banoEome shades in gol
den brown, chestnut, mahogany and
cuir color. Evening gloves are' of un

tints in Persian lilac, pearl, tea rose,

and palest canary color. ; Gloves are

THE ODD FELLOWS
THE GREATEST OF ALL THEIR
i ASSEMBLAGES.
THS MUTING AT BOSTOH OF THS GRAND
LODGK OV Till WORLD.
Boston, Sept. 20. The annual ses
sion of the sovereign grand lodge I. O
O. F. opened in Odd Fellows' hall this
morning. The proceedings are secret.
t is understood that the action of the
grand lodge will comprise routine
work, such as the appointment of com
mittees, etc, and arranging of the gen
eral order of business of the convention.
The Odd Fellows' cerebration, to be
held during this week, will be undoubt
edly the most elaborate affair of the
kind ever held in this country. The
principal feature of the week, will be
the great parade Wednesday, though
the entire programme is of great inter
est to Odd Fellows, it now seems prob
able that the total number of visitors
ill not be far from 30,000 and -the
oapaoity of Boston's hospitality bids fair
to be taxed to its utmost. This even
ing a banquet will be tendered the sov
ereign grand lodge by the grand lodge
and grand encampment of Massachusetts.
Gov. Robinson, mayor O'Brien and
other prominent citizens have been in
vited to be present. Tuesday the sov
ereign grand lodge will again meet and
elect officers and transact other busi
ness, in the evening a meeting of past
grand representatives will be held
There will be music and speeches from
distinguished visitors, members of the
sovereign grand lodge. Wednesday
the grand parade will occur. Thursday
the sovereign grand lodge will probably
attend a performance at one of the
thratres, by special invitation. Friday
will be "ladies' day" and an excur
sion will be made to Wellesley
College, on the invitation of its
president. Hunnewell's gardens will
also be visited. Saturday the sover
eign grand lodge will hold its closing
session aid adjourn. The reports of the
grand officers were presented today, be
ginning ith that of Henry D. Garry,
grand secretary , who in the opening traces
the growth of the order since its last meet
ing in Boston twenty-two years ago, in
864, with lees than 10,000 New JSng-
and members. The same territory now
numbers': 65,000' brethren. The order
in general has shared this prosperity.
n 1864 in the whole world the number
of members was 137,623. Today there
are 517,300 members in the U 8., with
an increase in the total membership to
4,000,000. The order is prosperous in
oreign countries. Mr. Garry advo-
catcd the retention of a permanent loca
tion of the grand lodge at Baltimore.
The figures of the various Odd Fellows'
beneficial associations show receipts for
the past; year of $1,050,905; paid to
families of deceased members $873,363 ;
deaths 1,4 52: members in good stand
ing 46,144; money on hand $578,820
The benefit figures cover forty-one
bodies, all that reports have been re
ceived from. The grand secretary's re
port contains a statement showing the
condition of the order in the United
States, Canada and foreign jurisdictions;
The prospects '.of both lodges and en
campments for the present year are very
flattering. The report of the grand
treasurer showed a balance on hand Au
gust 20, 1885, of $15,672; receipts for
the year $49,043; expenditures $12,-
420, and available assets of the sover
eign lodge $73,096.

Madrid, September 20. A revolu
tion was attempted last evening by; a
number of Spanish troops quartered in
this city. Tbe uprising was ill-planned
and ill managed and practically amounted
to little more than mutiny. The trouble
was inaugurated by a regiment of in
fantry quartered in the Gil Bias bar
racks The soldiers revolted, broke
down the partition will that separated
them from the quarters occupied by the
cavalry and intermingled with the men
of the two cavalry regiments, a number
of whom joined in the revolution. The
officers o-ll three of the regiments
did all in their power to dissuade
the men from revolting, but three
hundred soldiers, after beating a num
ber of officers and wounding ihrce, de
serted the barracks and marched in two
bodies through the town. One body
went to the rrado, the principal park
tad promenade of Madrid. Two thou
sand troops were quartered in the
Prado at the time ar the revolutionists
expected to be joined by them. The
other body went hurrahing through the
centre of Madrid, calling on the people
to ?join in the revolution, crying "Live
th? Republic 1" and making all kinds of
threats against the monarchy. At this
time the theatres and other places; of
RMUiii mcnt were crowded. The popu
lace was taken by surprise. In most of
the publio plaoes the people flecked out
in a panic. All the entertainments
were abruptly terminated. The streets
were soon filled with people, near
ly all of whom were terror-stricken
because of the exaggerated ideas of
what was transpiring. The insurgents
attempted among their first exploits to
secure possession of the arsenals, docks
and barracks, which they attacked with
open fire, but all these places were well
and successfully defended, and the
rebels were repulsed. Finally, their
reverses drawing them together, the' in
surgents attacked and got possession: of
the southern railway. By this time the
authorities had taken in the situation
and had fully prepared to master' it.
The loyal troops were marched to the
railway and after a short tight they com
pletely dislodged the revolutionists, who
dispersed into the country, Gen. Pania
pursuing. During the fighting in
the city one of the officers lead
ing the insurgents was shot and
killed. The rebels shot Gen. Velarde
for refusing to join them. They also
mortally wounded Count Mirasal and
killed a colonel of the artillery. Martial
law was proclaimed throughout the city
as soon as the condition of affairs was
clearly perceived by the government.
The emeute was a complete surprise to
Madrid. : Quiet was soon restored after
the revolutionists were driven frcm the
southern railway. A number of the in
surgents were taken prisoners. This
morning there v nc appearance of a
revolution or even of disorder. When
the insurgents fled from the town forty
of them compelled the station-master to
place at their disposal a special train,
with which they made their flight to
Alcola de Henares. Government troops
were soon in pursuit in another special
train.
Madrid, Sept. 20. noon. Addi
tional particulars of last nipbt's revolt
show that the insurgents also shouted
"Long live the Republic, the army and
Spain I" A large number of civilians
joined their ranks. When the authori
ties summoned jthe military to put
down the insurrection the rebels made
a stand for a while against the- loyal
troops and it was in the first brush
between the opposing forces that Gen.
Valarde and the artillery colonel were
killed. When the revolutionists realized
that the other 'troo.s were making no
response to their appeals they aband
oned the fight in the town and scamp
ered for the oountry, most of them in
the direction of Alcaia de Henares, a
walled city in New Castile and but 17
miles from Madrid. Many of the rebels
gave up the fight long before the gen
eral mass of their oomrades and made
their escape in the darkness. ; The
authorities are making a great many
arrests for complicity in the revolution
and a large proportion of the prisoners
are officers; It is learned today that the
revolution was;led by Brig. Gen. Yilla
i campa. He escaped on the special train
which left the city on the southern' rail
way. The loyal troops are scouring the
suburbs of Madrid, in search of fugitive
rebels. Telegrams from all the : pro
vinces show that publio orier remains
undisturbed. The ministers, who hap
pened to be all absent from the oity yes
terday, have been summoned to return
immediately. It has been learned that
the revolutionists who started for Alcaia
de Henares. becoming convinoed that
the loyalists would stop and probably
oipture them, stopped their special
train en route, sent it Dacx to juaaria
and fl?d across the oountry. The streets
of the city are alive with crowds of peo
nle. eacrcrlv discussing the occurrences
of last night.

SUMMERVILLE RATHER LOSING
ITS REPUTATION
AS THS SPECIAL AND PARTICULAR II OMR Or
TU RARTiIQUAKI. :
Charlrstok. 8. C , Sept. 20 The
ooudition of Summerville for the last
three days, in regard to earthquake
disturbances, has been very reassuring,
and people are strongly impressed with
a belief that the annoying tremors and
detonations will soon cease. There were
only two scarcely audible explosions Sat
urday night, at intervals of two
hours. Sunday, about 9 o clock
a. m., there was a plainly audible
explosion, which was unaccompanied
by the usual trembling of the earth At
11 o'clock 8unday night there was a
tremor which, as people have become
accustomed to suoh manifestations,
caused light comment. At 2 o'clock
this morning there was another shock of
the same character. The detonations
and tremors are now at very long in
tervals and are unheeded, except by
the most timorous.
The situation at Charleston is brigh
ter and more cheering,. a faot which Js
largely due to the favorable weather
and escape from a threatened West India
hurricane. The death list from the
effects of exposure is forty-nine, as
against Seventy-nine the previous week.
The is still a scarcity of skilled brick
layers and plasterers and wages are at
earthquake prioes. The fright caused by
the old shocks is generally subsiding
and refugees are returning to the .city.

THM GRAND CONCLAVE AT ST LOCtS. .
St. Louis, Sept. 20. It was aftir
midnight when the last special train dis
charged its load of visitors to the tri
ennial conclave of Knights 1 em plar last
night and the day had not broken this
morning when the procession of arriving
oommanderies was renewed. At an
early hour bands were playing and oom
manderies ,were marching and the history
of the forenoon has been a repetition of
that of last night, on a much more ex
tensive scale. At the Union depot the
tracks are crowded with extra trains
and no sooner is one emptied than
another takes its place. Along the
wharves on the river front a similar
scene of actiMty is witnessed, many
oommanderies from along the rivers
having ohartered steamers which
will be used as comb iced hotels
and headquarters during the week.
The weather seems as if specially
designed for the occasion, and in con se
quence the streets are - thronged, while
everywhere may be seen marching oom
manderies making fratercal calls on
local and visiting headquarters. It is
an utter impossibility at the present
time to give an accurate estimate of the
number of Knight already on the
ground. Representatives of every 8 ate
and Territory have reported, while th'ee
are present from Honolulu. Most emi
nent grand master Robert E. Withers,
U. S consul general at liong Hong,
came all the way from that place, arriv
ing yesterday. At noon the rush of
visitors was still unabated, and if any
thing increasing. Fully 1,000 Knights
had arrived by noon, and more than an
equal number are expected this after
noon and tonight. All trains are more
or less delayed by the immense traffic

to prolong the lease of the N II. R. It.
I hear no more about it. Please keep
