Y., May 22.—Although the rain fell in torrents Thursday morning the city was filled with visitors and the principal streets were covered with flags, bunting and Masonic emblems. The occa- sion was the laying of the corner stone of the: Masonic Home. The streets were in fearful condition, especially those which were unpaved and which led to the grounds. The organizations formed at the posi- tions designated for them by the grand marshal, and waited patiently. The rain still continued to fall, and orders were given to defer the parade till 1 p. in. There were only about 5,000 men in line, when, had the sun shone, there would have been 8,000. The Forty-forth Separate company, of this city, acted as escort and had the right of line. Then came Grand Marshal Ehlers, his senior aid, R. W‘. John G. Graves, and following were the other aids. Next was the grand commandery, Knights Templar, and the commanderies of. the same order. Next in line were the members of the grand council, royal and select masters, the grand chapter andthe lodges of the Royal Arch Masons. Then came Utica commandery, Knights Templar, as a guard of honor to the grand master and grand officers, with a delega- tion from St. John’s lodge, NO. 1, bearing the Washington Bible. Then followed the representatives of the lodges in order from the first to the thirtieth Masonic district Of the state. While the parade was moving nearly every business house in the city closed its doors, while the schools and factories closed for the day, the rain meanwhile having abated some- what. There were about twenty bands of music in the line. At the grounds the ceremonies as laid down in the ritual of the grand lodge were carried out. The ode “Brethren All” was written for the occasion by Hon. Wallace Bruce, United States'consul to Edinburgh, Scotland, and the chorus of pilgrims was sung bya local choir of twenty voices. Grand Master Vrooman delivered a short speech, introducing Past Grand Master Lawrence, and Mr. Lawrence delivered the oration of the occasion. In the corner stone were deposited the following articles: Constitution and stat- utes of the grand lodge of the state; pro- ceedings of the grand lodge of New York, 1890; proceedings Of the grand chapter of New York, 1891; proceedings of the grand council of New York, 1890; proceedings of the grand commandery of New York, 1890; report of Ladies’ Masonic Fair association, 1887'; jubilee volume, order of the day, order of exercises, daily papers of the city, the three immovable jewels of silver, jubi- lee medal and the asylum medal. In the evening there was a meeting in the opera house at which Mayor Goodwin presided and at which Hon. Chauncey M. Depew delivered a speech. Canalboat Men Kicking. BUFFALO, May 22.—Canalboat men are complaining over the muddy condition of the Erie canal and the way the state cm- ployes are doing their work. Captain Michael Holland, owner of the canal steamer M. & J. Tracey and other barges, said that beats are subjected to consider- able difiiculty because the mud and stone have not been dredged out. In the canal near Countrymen’s lock, three miles this side of Port Jackson, the mud is almost to the surface Of the canal and the mules can hardly pull boats through. There is a big bar Of mud or stone near Phillips’ lock, which Captain Holland says is a “terror.” The dredges are supposed to have the work completed, but they have not moved yet. Captain Holland also says that the lock tenders are not obliging, and refuse to tie the lines to boats though the state has placed them there for that purpose. Now the Boycott Is On Again. NEw YORK, May 22.—The aspect of the lumber lockout has taken another shape, and instead of a speedy settlement mat- ters are as badly off as they were before. The lumber dealers at their meeting Tues- day virtually agreed to a compromise, but the matter was referred to a sub-commit- tee, and with this committee rests the blame of the present state of affairs. The sub—committee met the walking delegates yesterday and wanted an unconditional surrender, which of course was not agreed to by the committee, and the boycott goes on. The Liverpool Butcher Caught. LIVERPOOL, May 22.——The police have arrested a man named John Conway, a steamship fireman and a leading member of the Seamen’s union, on suspicion of be- ing the murderer of the boy whose muti— lated body was found in a sailor’s bag floating in the water on Tuesday last. Conway, who had lodging in the immediate vicinity of the murdered boy’s residence, has admitted his ownership of the bag and its contents. A Bad New Haven Bank Failure. NEW HAVEN, May 22.—Many poor peo- ple of this city will feel bitterly the effects of the failure of the banking house of Bunnell & Scranton, which has just oc- curred here. A rough statement of the bank’s affairs shows liabilities of about $300,000 and assets which may reach $100,- 000. Mr. Bunnell died recently, and at that time rumors of instability were cur- rent, and these have now been verified by Mr. Scranton making an assignment to City Treasurer Stoddard. Bad financier- ing is said to be the cause of the failure. It is not believed that depositors will rea- lizemore than twenty cents on the dollar. A rigid investigation will be made. Kentucky’s People’s Party Ticket- CINCINNATI, May 22.-The Kentucky del- egates to the Cincinnati convention crossed the Ohio, held a convention and nominat- ed the following state ticket: Governor, Pollock Barbour, of J efierson county; lieu- tenant governor, Dr. S. F. Smith, Frank- lin county; auditor, W. G. Faulkerson, Ohio county; treasurer, I. G. Salty, Trigg county; superintendent of public instruc- tion, W. SV. Morris, of Ballard county; register of the land Office, T. B. Herreld, of Butler county; clerk of the court of ap- peals, John G. Blair, of Nichols county. A platform was adopted exactly similar to Ehat adopted at the. People’s party conven- ion. Natalie’s Expulsion May React. BELGRADE, May 22. —The garrison of Bel- grade is being hurriedly re-enforced for fear of possible troubles arising from the expulsion of Natalie. The ministry’s po- sition is shaken. Twelve persons who were wounded on Monday have since died. It is stated that the government spread a ru- mor that the expulsion of Natalie was abandoned on Monday in order to facilitate her removal.
