KNIGHTS OF FYTIIIA8.
Paraa nd Banquet la BlehmanA.
From the Dispatch.
THE PARADE.
Notwithstanding lowering clouds
and the early hour, the parade yester
day morning was a most crpitable
affair, and gave our people a pretty
fair idea of the material of which the
Pythian Order is composed, and of
the neat, tasteful, and knightly, uni
form which the Knights of Pythias
have recently adopted. The lodges
met at their respective headquarters
at 8 o'clock, ana marched ihence to
Broad street, between Ninth and
Twelfth, where the line was formed
at 9 o'clock under Assistant Marshal
P.C. Charles F. Taylor, who was as
signed the duty in the absence of the
Chief Marshal, V. G. C. L. L. Bass.
At a quarter to 10 o'clock the pro
cession moved of by the following -
line op march:
Down Broad street to Nineteenth;
down Nineteenth Ho Main, up Main
to Fifth, up Fifth to Franklin, up
Franklin to Foushee, up Foushee to
Grace, down Grace to Third, up
Third to Broad, and down Broad to
Ford's Hotel.
At various points on the route there
were demonstrations of enthusiasm,
and the colors of the Order were dis-
played from numerous buildings.
At 913 Main street, where the
Pythian martyr Ilines was engaged
in business, (just under iJees s photo
graph gallery,) a good portrait of
Mr. Hines was displayed, together
with pictures of the Spotswood Hotel
before and after the fire the whole
being draped in' mourniixg. The
Knights passed thispoint with uncov
ered heads. . -
From the St. Charles Hotel a
streamer was displayed, and Morgan
stern's, on Broad street,' was gaily
decked off from basement to roof
with flags and drapery of the colors
, of the Order. . . ;

At Ford's Hotel the members of
the Supreme Lodge were drawn up,

of this' city, as adjutant general The I

Knights in line tfalrxiiog with their
swords and the dignitaries - of the
Order acknowledging the compliment

then marched down the -whole line
beaded by the First Regiment band;
after which . ' '
THE PAjRADE WAS DISMISSED.
The Knights without uniforms then
dispersed. . The . Supreme . Lodge

new process for making tar, and for the
purpose of testing the matter he had built
a large brick retort into which he placed
some twenty-seven cords of wood and on
Wednesday applied fire to the resinous ma
teriaL To-day MrTS. expected to draw off
his tar, but it appears that he had not made
sufficient allowance for the amount of gas
that would accumulate in his retort and the
result was a sudden explosion at, one end
of the structure and the communication of
the flames to all the combustible material in
and about the kiln. The fire raged furiously
and dense volumes of smoke arose from the
burning lightwood and tar. Fortunately,
the kiln was sufficiently far removed from
other buildings to cause any apprehension
that the flames would spread, and as soon
as the engines arrived on the spot and com
menced work the fire was - checked. We
learn that Mr. Stanley's loss is about $300
or $400, upon which, of course, there was
no insurance.
Narrow Escape from Drowning -
We learn that Mr. Robert Scarborough
accidentally slipped off the wharf foot of
Market street last night, about a quarter to
10 o'clock, and fell jnto the river between
the wharf and one'of Messrs.' Lemmerman
& Coney's flats. Two colored men hap
pened to be near by at the time waiting for
a boat, and were attracted by the noise, but I
were unaoie vo uiscover nis wnereaoouis. 1
Fortunately Mr. Wm. Banks opportunely
arrived on the spot and soon detected the
presence of Mr. Scarborough in the peril
ous position in which he had fallen. After
some difficulty he succeeded in getting a
hold upon the person of Mr. S. and by the
united efforts of himself and the two col
ored men he was landed safely on terra
Anna, though very much' exhausted by bis
involuntary bath in the cold waters of .the

impossible to arouse him. None of the
parties engaged in the assault hare been
arrested, and no "effort, from what we can
learn,' has been made to do so. ' '
