Cincinnati, O., Jan. 13.—To-morrow Howard Douglas, Supreme Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias, will issue an order suspending the entire Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania for refusal to mako certain changes in its constitution and by-lawa, as ordered by him at its last Uieetitg at William sport, August 17 last. The Grand Lodge represents a membership of some 25,000, gathering in 341 lodges. The question invclved have long been a matter of dispute between Grand Chancellor Covert, of Pennsylvania, and Supreme Chancellor Douglass. The former boldly accuses the latter of attempting to centralize the order for bis own aggrandizement, and the quarrel has became a bitter one and promises to cause a disastrous soeism in the order. Covert, it is ascertained here to night, has isued a proclamation calling on his subordinates to stand by him. Douglass to day issued an extra order commanding the officers of the Pennsylvania Grand Lodge to appear before him January 21, to show cause why their charter should not be forfeited. A I'liiillenico. The Anarchists claim that all this was no part of their bargain, qoite the reverse in fact, and that they have been overreached after having paid their money. They say the deed was returned to Mr. Bnehler merely to be rewritten in gome unimportant particulars. To-day the Anarchists' frsends were recalling that Spies and Parsons had expressed a desire to have their bodies cremated, and a canvas showed that many members of the Desense Committee were in favor of sending theremains to Cincinnati for that purpose. The general idea was that urns with the ashes could then easily be preserved in some hall, and there the Anarobists would assemble demonstration. Chicago, January 12.—There is a strong probability that the bodies of the five dead Anarchists will be removed from Waldheim and oremated. Matthew Semiedinger, who was prominent in arranging the details of the bnrial, said to day that John Baehler, the banker, who is President of the Waldheim Cemetery Company, has still in his possession the deed for the lots bought by the Anarohist Defense Committee, and insists npon the latter signing an ironclad agreement that no other bodies shall be interred in the plot; that no demonstrations or speeches are to take place inside the cemetery, and that any monument inscriptions shall be submitted to the cemetery directors.

BENSCOTER, DISTRICT ATTORNEY, Notwithstanding the immense trade we have had we find it absolutely necessary to reduce our stock in order to make room for our Spring Goods. In Overcoats we still have a fine assortment, and will offer the greatest inducements ever offered in PunxsutaMney. Knowing, as you all do, that we positively sell more Clothing than any house in town, and as we have the only One Price Store, where all goods are marked in plain figures, you may see for yourselves that the goods are marked down, and it will pay you to invest in a Winter Suit or Overcoat, even if you should keep it for next winter. At the end of the first part of the cere* mony of the third degree Mr. Hofgesang retired to the ante room, in company with his guides, and was prepared for the last of the ceremonial. He appeared to be much agitated. He Baid that he felt very sick, and aBked how muoh longer the ceremony would last. He was assured that it was almost through, and was enconraged not to be excited, as the others hud passed through the same ordeal without harm. It was apparent that he was sick, but he stood the ordeal with fotitude, and soon he was rased to the degree of Master Mason. At the end of the ceremony he was so prostrated that he was nnable to accompany the brethern to the supper he had ordered, and while tho others were having a good time at his expense he was in bis bed. He had been troubled with fits of prostration and feeling of weakness about the heart, and although he has been about a great deal of the time, he baa been far frcm well. A day or two ago he grew worse, and took to his bed- Nkw yobk, Jan. 13.—John Hofgesang, the proprietor of • handsome hotel and saloon, on Railroad avenne and Market street, opposite the Union depot in Paterson, died this morning of enlargement of the heart. The following circumstance is related as a remote cause of the trooble. About seven weeks ago he took his third degree in Humboldt Lodge of Free Masons. The Worshipful Master, Samuel Kind, is an enthusiastic in the order, and one of the finest German workers in the State. He was making the ceremony particularly impressive for Mr. Hofgesang, both on account of his being a man of superior Intelligence and because he had prepared a collation for the members of the lodge after the closing.

About ?9,000 worth were traced to Canada. The broker had no idea that the bonds were stolen, but when the customer came to collect his cu»ons through the Montrea' bank payment had been stopped. The New York broker had got the bonds in the regular way of business from Chicago. Other Wall street brokers were found with some of the stolen bonds on their books.

An instant later and she wonld have been crushed by the locomotive, but the other girls ran back, and grabbing the rope, dragged the imperiled child off of the rails just as the engine swept by. The sled was broken into splinters, and so narrow was the escape of the little girl that her hair ribbon caught on the engine and was torn front her hair. The Burns girl fell while dragging her companion out of danger, and the locomotive wheel grazed the bottom of one foot, ripping the sole off the shoe. The engineer of the loeomotive says that he never knew of any instances of esoape so miraculous as these two. Port Jkrvih, N. Y., January 12.—Three little girls, children of C. H. Seyman, John Burns and W. W. Eaton, of Parker's Glen Pike county, were coasting in that place on a hill that took them onto the Erie Hallway track.

The Seyman and Burns children jumped off of the track, but the Eaton jjirl got entangled in her sled rope and could not get off. Youngstown, Jao. 17.—While Norman KiBke, a farmer near Fowler, Trumbull county, was leading a bull to water Tuesday afternoon, the animal became infuriated aad turning upon the farmer, knocked him down and began goring him.
