Paitville, lib, Aug. 23.—0 n Saturday last
£r, Strader* on going home, found his wife
jocked op in a room with John 31. Hankey. The
iffftir created considerable excitement at
jhe time, bos the wife went to her peo
ple in Indiana. and the affair, in a measure, blew
ever. Yesterday tbe woman returned, and it
Was supposed by the neighbors that the affair
bad bees amicably arranged between husband
■od wife, though this seems to have not been
{he case. Last night, as Strader was
returning, about 9 o’clock, to his residence,
when near the gate, lie wad hit with a dob
hy some one unseen and knocked senseless. Be
ms discovered by two coal-miners and taken to
bis house, it was at first supposed be was fa
tally injured, but on examination the
wound was thought to bo very serious,
though not necessarily fatal. Strader
|a a peaceable, law-abiding citizen,
and baa never bad a difficulty with any person.
Previous to tbs affair mentioned. Hankey has
heretofore been considered one of our moat en
ergetic and honorable business men. He
served two terms as Alderman from bis
ward. The affair of last night
coming on the heels of tbe scandal,
is verv unfortunate for Hankey, and quite &
large class of people are disposed to look on him
with no cbanUble eve, though probably as lorne
a part’of tbe community do cot entertain the
thought for a moment that he could be induced
to act so‘cowardly a part. The officers are in
vestigating the affair.
A SCUFFLE AND A CHASE.
Ssfdcl Diepaie A to The CAicac* TVrbtmt.
Quracr. 311.. Aug. 23.—This morning the po
lice authorities were informed that a colored
passed Phillips was in tbo city attempting
to borrow a small sumof money for the purpose
of obtaining an elegant watch which
• certain other colored man wished
to dispose of at a low figure.
After evading the officers for some time the fel
low was arrested on the levee, and while on the
wavtothe station made a sodden lunge and
breke sway from the officers. A long race en
sued, but Officer Naylor st last overtook
Phillips, and ordered thim to etop. With
out the least warning of hia intentions,
Philips turned upon Navlor and stabbed him
twice in tbs fleshy part of the left arm. Naylor,
after receiving the wound, fired at his assailant
without effect, but a second shot hit him in the
leg, and Philips fell to the gronnd. He was
then captured and taken to the station.
She oegro who first gave the information was
t tar. wrested. Burners in existence place these
parties as the principals in the late thefts which
have occurred along the river, and it is believed
that the arrests will lead to important discov
eries.

burglarized last sight, and hia watch, a bunch of
Ifceye. ard £2OO in money taken. The report is
khat there were $1,700 in the safe at
jibe railroad office, aod the supposition is that
(the office was entered, the safe unlocked, and
the money stolen. The agent telegraphed to
Indiana for a duplicate key for the safe, when
the fact will be learned whether it has been
robbed or not. The money belonged in pu* to
the railroad, and the balance to groin mer
chants, who bad left it there for safe-keening.
Jdoote men and suspicious-looking characters
were seea around the Bluffs the day before. De

it bears a rather suspicious look. Further and

MASONIC.
FECTJLIABTTrES OF MASON'S! IN FRANCS.
Tbs Voice of J/asonry for September contains,
among other interesting and valuable matter for
the craft, a sketch of some peculiarities of
Masonry in Prance, from which the following
extracts are made: .
PECdJAßrrtzs oe
American ilJßona mquinnglsto tbe cause of ih« ban
under which the Grand Lodge cf France if placed by
tne American Grand Lodges, and why we are
forbidden . to*.-associate vnthr. our Gallic breth
ren, will not find It in (he mere fact that
tbe French Masons refuse in recognize the Ameri
can rule cf jurisdiction. True, such a rule Is essentia!
to the usefulness of Masonry. Were U allowable for
any one of our Grand Lodges to establish subordinates
in any other, the act would be a death blow to the ex
istence of American Grand Lodges, and consequently
tqthe respectability and usefulness of the Order itself.
The action of the Grand Lodge of France, therefore,
in ignoring local Jurisdiction, strikes st tbe dearest
interests of the Institution as worked in this coun
try. But there,* is something worse than this in
the Freemasonry of France. It has become, under
modem influences, a aod.ess Institution. It has dis
carded its Bible. Its emblem of Duty, its 44 so help mo
GocL” and ite references to tbe resurrection. It baa
eliminated all t ie religions principles which it received
with its rituals from tho Grand Lodge of England lot)
years ago. There is not a genuine “Landmark,” In
the sense in which the word la understood by us, re
maining to French Masonry. The pass-words are
changed regularly; there is no Grand Master; the
whole system is but a burlesque upon the name of
Freemasonry,
From a copy of the official Register of, the Grand
Orient of France for 1373,1 gather a few facts worth
reading by those who care for tho matter. The Regis
ter is an 18 mo. of 189 pp.. entitled “ Masonic Calen
dar of the G. Orient of France, the Supreme Council
for France and the French possessions, UWd year.”
The number of lodges working under authority of
tho Grand Orient la 260, viz., in Pans, 41; in
other parts of France, ITS; in the French possessions,
41. Besides 2CO lodpee, tho G. Orient controls 35
Chapters, JI Councils (?>, 1 Consistory, and 1 Grand
Council of Rites. Among tbe foreign French lodges,
lam personally acquainted with the following: Lodge
Melee, at Smyrna, Asia Minor; Lodge Ohalhe d’Union.
Beyrout, Syria; Lodge Le Liban, Beyrout, Syria;
Lodge Nil, Cairo. Egypt; Lodge Pyramided, Alexan
dria, Egypt; Lodge Lumlere en Egypte, Alexandria, •
Egypt-
It has been charged oa the Grand Orient that she
established her lodges in New Orleans, but none such
are named in the Register before me, and I
presume the statement is untrue. But .she
has them in Algiers, Cochin China, Senegal,
Guadaloupe, New Caledonia, Spain, Greece, Ita
ly, Roumania, Switzerland, China, Egypt, Port
Louis, Mshe, Buenos Ayres, Chill, Uruguay, etc.; suf
ficiently proving that the American doctrine of local
jurisdiction is not regarded by this power. How the'
Grand Orient of France would act were a foreign
Grand Lodge to invade her territory is not known.
Probably were “her ox gored ” we should all hear of
it. In Alsace-Lorraine, which was was transferred a
few years since to Germany, the eight French lodges,
refusing to transfer their allegiance, have been
dissolved, as we learn from the following note on page
ISS; M The above lodges (aUlirrt, ‘workshops’) were
required by tho Prussian (sic) authority to break their
relation with the. Grand Orient of France, but pre
ferred to cease their labors and be dissolved.”
There is no Grand Master in the Grand Lodge of
Prance. The interference of Government, and the
personal jealousies of high Masons and their partisans
led in 1871 to a radical change in Masonic usage. This
is indicated in the following sentence: “ The General
Assembly of the Grand Orient of France in its sitting
of Kept. 6,IST], suppressed the functions of the Grand
Mastership, whose powers have passed to the Council
of tbo Older 1 ” The first President was Baband-Larl
biere. The present is Saint Jean, elected in 1872. His
title is 38d degree, Member of the Grand College of
Bites, and Doctor of Medicine. His address is No. 22
Rue de la Banque, Paris. The two Vice Presidents are
Massoc, (deceased), and Cousin, Railway Inspector
General Northern Railway. Thera are also two Secre
taries, viz* Gaubert, *• Literary Gentleman ; ” and
Poulle.
The Council of the Order consists of thirty-three
members, elected annually.
The Grand College of Rites is composed of thirty
three members, eacn possessing tbe Thirty-third De
gree of the Scotch Rite. Thus the common Pans joke,
“ There are 1,089 Degrees in that group I" To this
body is given the power of communicating the Thirty
first, Thirty-second, and Thirty-third Degrees of the
Scotch Rite, “as well as the equivalent grades In all
the other rites recognised by the Grand Orient of
France.” The Honorary Sovereign Grand Master of
this body la Gen. Meliinet, formerly Grand Master of
the Order.
Too titles of the French Lodges are curious and in
genious. We find on their catalogue such names as
these: The Admirers of the Universe; Friends of the
Country; United Hearts, Duty; Disciples of Progress;
Perfect Equality; Perseverance; Progress; Bose of
Perfect Silence ; Phllantropic . Zealots; Travelers;
Masonio Democracy; Hew Fra; Sons of Hiram:
Friends of Peace; Hope: Straight Line ; Star of
Hope t Iteuolon of Chosen Friends; Universal Har
monv; Sacred Triangle : t n -r® t "valley of
Lcve; inple Unity ; Star and Compass;
Truth and Reform; Travel and Liberty, enn. etc.
The insipid nomenclature of American lodges might
be greatly improved by reference to these.
A list of Grand Masters of France is appended as
follows: 17<S, Lord Derwent Waters; 17J0, Lord
Count <T Harnoucster; 1739, Due D’ Antin; 1743,
Louis Do Bourbon; 1772, Louis Philip of Orleans;
17H5, Eoettiers Do Montaleau; 1835, Joseph Kspoleon,
King of * Spain :18ft!. Marshal Magnau; 1363, Qeu.
Meilinet; 1370, Baband-Laribiere.
A MODEL MASONIC HALL.
One of tbe finest sets of apartments devoted
to Masonic use in the West is situated, at Nos.
185 and 137 Kinzio street, and named Corinthian
Hall, ft is occupied by two lodges,—Kilwinning
No. 311 and Covenant No. 526. —as well as by
Corinthian Chapter *No. 69, and SL Ber
nard Comznandery No. 35. The apartments have
been in use for some time, but, having peon
touched by fire about three months ago. a thor
ough refitting was determined on. and tbe re
sult, which will be submitted to the bodies this
week, is likely to be eminently satisfactory.
The work done on the rooms consisted in a
thorough cleansing and refitting of all tbe ap
purtenances, including new upholstery for the
furniture, and also new and beautiful fresco
work in tbe lodgo-ball. Tbe apartments
In nse by the bodies are a main hall 40x60 feet,
a drill and banqueting room 80x70, two parlors
each 20x20, a large armory, and a .splendidly
fitted up kitchen, tbe whole forming a fine
meeting palace for the Masons of the North
Bide. The members of the lodges, Commandery
and Encampment, are to be congratulated on the
completion of their rooms, and that, too, with
entire freedom from debt Covenant Lodge
and the Commandery have been rather unfortu
nate in their experience with fire, having been
burnt out three times since 1871, but they are
now in good working order.
ODD-F= LLOWSHIP*
GRAND BODIES OF NEW JOWL
The Grand Lodge of New York, in session at
New York City, passed its third day (Ane. 19)
in work mainly on appeals. Following are the
points brought up not purely local;
Permission was given to R. L. Raleigh to ap
peal to the Grand Lodge of the United States
from a decision of this grand body to this effect:
That where no choice has been made on a bal
lot for a grand officer, there being several candi
dates in nomination, and where tbe nominee
who has received the second highest number of
▼otes withdraws from the contest the nominee
who has received the third highest number of
votes is legally a candidate for election.
Tbe decision of the Grand Master that it is
not necessary for subordinates to notify sister
lodges of tbe suspension of members for non
payment of dues was affirmed.
On tbe last day of the session tbe question of
whether or not tbe Grand Master had the power
to remove a Deputy Grand Master from tbe
control of bis district was brought up and dis
cussed at length by some of tbe oldest members
of the Grand Lodge, and tne vote, when taken,
gave him that power by 323 yeas against 234
nays. An appeal against this action will be
taken to the Grand Lodge or the United States,
which meets in Indianapolis during September.
John Medole, of New York, presented tbe an
nual report of tbe Odd-Fellows' Asylum Associ
ation, which shows cash on hand and deposit,
$4,186.43: interest, $434.94; expenses for four
years, $378.06. Tbe indebtedness of lodges for
asylum dues is $211.88. Tbe Convention bad
decided that the asylum is to be located outside
of tbe City of New York, and the affairs of the
Association will be managed by a board of fifteen
trustees—five to be elected each year by the
Convention of Delegates.
• The Finance Committee recommendedtbattbe
assessment on the subordinate lodges should be
16 cents per member, which recommendation was
adopted. Tbe secret work was then exemplified,
after which the Grand Lodge was formally
closed, to meet in Rochester in August, 1876.
TEB KASCHSSTZB UXtOX.
Hr. J. Bpe;, Secretary of the Hancbester
Union, the organization of Odd Fallons in En
gland, and tbe one from which the Independent
Order of America sprang, ic hia report girea the
following as tbe statue of the parent body—if it
may be so called:
Members, Jan. 1,1871, 181,630; initiated in
Great Britain. 81,771; initiated in the Colonise,
'3,134; total, 6X6,133. Deaths- dnrin; 1874,
6,614 1 lift from Ttrioo* oauaes, 13,093. -fam-
ben on Jan. 1. 1875, 496,629. The net increase
in tbe year being 14,899.
The number of districts is 4515, and the
number of Lodges 4,029, and members, 490.-
529. Thus if the members were averaged it
would give 123 to each lodge. Xhe’male deaths
have been C,514 ; sod female deaths, 3.642, for
which X 37.216 have been paid. Some district
pay on tbe deaths of second and third wives, and
cu the deaths of widows, and in this way, extra
to the above, Xl.OiC have been paid.
The number of clearances, accepted has beep
554. acd shows a great falling off. since that tba
paries who now draw clearances aro compelled
to par for benefits according- la the age they are
on depositing their clearances, in place of the
age at which they were admitted into the Order.
Trade haring been generally good during the
past year, only 174 traveling cards were vpclied
for, and only 103 pounds have been paid for re
lief. Tbe following results are statistical obser
vations that X bar® collected for the past ten
■years: „
In 1865 the number of members was 373.509;
in 1375, numner of members 496,559; increase

LETTERS FRO3I THE PEOPLE.
SACKS AND HACKMEN.
To the Editor of The CAIVOSO Tritmne
Chicago. Aug. 28-— Every traveler knows to
his cost that hackmeo are extortionate in their
charges, and, although an ordinance regulating
fares exists, it Is seldom to be seen posted in
hacks, as required by law, and still more seldom
enforced when violated. No stranger ever em
ployed a hackman who did not swindle or try to
swindle him. Tbe hackman’s occupation must
make Him reckless and grasping, and he watches
like the opidar for the lost wanderer to draw him
in and bleed him. If any class should be by law
required to obtain a certificate of moral charac
ter, it is the city backm&n, because it is well
known that some of tbe most abandoned men
practice that vocation, ready at any time to lend
themselves for hire to any scheme of deviltry,—
assisting in plots for abduction and seduction,
plying ibeir vehicles between depots and hotels,
and houses of assignation and prostitution.
It is hardly safe for a virtuous woman to enter
a back alone at night. A Chicago back ia far
more dangerous for a woman alone and unat
tended than any English railway apartment.
Many a girl baa come to this city a stranger, and
been taken by the hackman, to whom she ap
plied for direction to a respectable hotel or
boarding-house, to some notorious house from
which she could not escape until drugged and
ruined. Hackmen are sometimes paid to recruit
each places with fresh girls from the oountrv,
and even when the girl names the hotel which
she prefers the villainous hackman will persuade
the girl to go to another place, where be knows
and hopes she will be mined. What does be
care for woman’s virtue, provided be gate a lib
eral tee ? Hackmen will sometimes conspire
with each other to effect, in the hack, tbe rain of
some city girl or some country girl whom tney
may pick np at tbe depots or m tbe streets. Tbe
immunity which hackman of tbe most notorious
character and habits enjoy in matters of extor
tion and crime leads me to inter that in Some
way they mast share tbe favor and protection of
members of the police, to whom, as well as the
criminal classes, tney are often of indispeaaible
service and assistance. S. J 2.
•WABASH AVENUE VINDICATED-
To the Editor of The Chicago Triburu
Chicago, Ang. 23-— Since tha disputable
organ called the Chicago limes has been located
on Wells street, it has been prejudiced against
State street, Palmer's Hotel and Wabash
avenue, and lauding to the skies tbe merits as
a business location of Fifth avenue and Madison
street. 'The old mao, having: an elephant on bis
bands, is trying to dispose of it; but his rooms
are tenantlesa.
Recently, on account probably of tha. re fulfil
of tbe business mao to insert advertisements In
bis paper, tbe old mao baa opened his battery
on W&baab avenue, and thmks it bad better be
called Jerusalem avenue. With bouses like
Hibbard A Spencer, Gage Brothers, Frank
lin MaqTeagn A Co., Clement, Morton
A Co., J. W. Doans A Co., Durand
A Co., Doggett, Bassett A Hills,
Abram French A Co., Chase. Fan* A Co., D. B.
Fisk A Co., and others, it does not appear that
the Israelites monopolize tbe trade of that un
rivaled avenue. Admit that they do. also the
hypothesis is not true, the business transacted
bv the Jews is immense, merchants are prevent
ed from seeking the New York market for dry
goods by the large stocks of clothing kept by
Wabash avenue firms,and bills have already been
sold amounting to $20,000 per invoice, and more
will be of the same size. If Wilbur F. will keep
his coupe and carcass from our street, for we see
his mug twice a day, he would oblige business
men, who pav their taxes without grumbling, 100
cents on tbe dollar, and won't allow tbe Thirties in
their homes, Wabash Avenue.
INSULTS TO LADIES.
To the Editor of The Chteaao Tribune ,
Chicago, Aug. 23.—1 would like to
through your columns, if there can be any pro
tection afforded ladies on our public highways.
It seems now that they cannot quietly walk the
streets without being subjected to every variety
of insult and outrage. Oa tbe West bide a lady
cannot go three blocks from her home, even in
the early part of the evening (if unaccompanied
by a gentleman), without being followed and in
sulted by some ruffian. I know of my own per
sonal knowledge of three cases within tbe last few
weeks, on the West Side, in a most respectable
locality, where ladies have been thus grossly in
snlted; and, at such times, policemen are
not to be seen or beard of. And, on Friday
forenoon last, a lady, quietly walking on East
Madison street, attending to some necessary
business, was completely deluged with water
from the street-hydrant, not only ruining her
apparel, but subjecting her to serious illness,
besides tbe mortification of walking the street
in a very unbecoming plight; and this deluge
was showered npoo the passers-by without any
warning except that of tbe yell, *• Git out there 1”
without giving any one time to do so, even if
they bad known what the cry meant.
1 think, if our streets cannot be paved with
out sqcn outrages being perpetrated, tbe public
bad better be notified of tbe fact, and the street
closed to the public till such a time as they can
walk it in safety. A Sujjebejb.
FAUS PEHQtJISTTXa.
To the Editor# The Chicago Tribune:
Chicago, Ang. 28.—1 a not the charge of 50
oeota an hour for the nee of a boat in the pablie
park a little too exorbitant? Half that sum per
boar is all boat-owners pretend to charge at
Lake Genera and other watering places where
everything ia kept in better style than at the lit
tle dock ponds fonnd in Union, Jefferson, aod
Lincoln Parks. It la perfectly proper for the
park-keepers and owners of boats to derive an
income from the hire of their‘boats, —but 60
cents an hour savors of extortion, aod should be
prohibited or the boats be famished gratuitously
for the people, to nhom the parks belong* Ac
present prices the boat-owners must derive a
splendid income from iheir boats, amounting on
Sundays to from $25 to SSO in the aggregate, or
at the rate of $5 per boat.
The parks being public pleasure grounds, and
-SIXTEEN PAGES.
boating alicensedamusement, no odo, should be.
allowed to speculate therein at the expense of
the public, it ia in the interest of poor people,
cut off by the price from indulgence in this in
nocent parte amusement, that I have called at
tention to the extortion. . £.
SOUTH SIDE STBKST-CaBS.
To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune
Chicago, Aug. 23.—1 see a great deal of fuss
made about nothing, or, as they call it, smoking
in the street-cars. For my part, Ido not think
It any worse to smoko on the cars than in the
house. You will never see a young lady but
what she will tell her lover she likes a good
but when a poor driver works from 5 in
the morning till 10 and 12 at night, and some of
them all night, it is a different thing. As to the
annoyance of • the boys m getting into a car: I
almost always take a rear seat, and, if the bore
trouble the driver. I gently lift their hats off
and drop them, and we have no more trouble
from that score.
But there la a real nuisance that we hear very
little about, and that is this.- a ladv can h&rdiv
nde in a ’bus but wbat she is insulted by eome
pupoy, all the way Irom 15 years old to Go : and,
if we would e'jap them in the face once in awhile,
we would soon coasa to bo troubled in that quar
ter. • OjTE OF YOUB RpAnpnq,
CHESS AND CHECKERS.
To Cfta Editor of The Chicago Tribune
Chicago, Aug. 23.—Please allow me to make a
suggestion to the managers of that excellent in
stitution. the Young Men's Christian Association
of this city. And the suggestion is. that {hey
provide tables in their reading-rooms for the
games of chess and draughts. lam quite fond
of the game of chess, but can find no place to
play it down-town except in the Chess
Club in the Atberueum, where the an
nual membershiD-feo' is slo.—an amount
that is too large for mv pocket, and which will
seldom be paid simply for the cheas privileges
of that Society.
There might be a large and flourishing chess
club maintained here, ana a fee of only $2 or
$3 oer annum charged, but a tax of $lO is alto
gether too high to encourage the growth of this
noblest of intellectual games. Cooz.
