Boulanger Said to be Dead Washington, Oct. 7.—Preparations for the twenty-second triennial conclave of the grand encampment of Knights Templar in the national capital during the coming week arc completed. The general aspect of the city indicates an occasion of unusual importance. Many streets are in gala attire and the decorations used are probably the richest ever seen here. Banners of welcome are stretched across the streets, while everywhere is seen the "Malteso cross." The first advance guard of Sir Knights have began to arrive and for the past twenty-four hours every incoming train came laden with plumed knights to attend the great conclave. Scores of comraanderies, many of the members accompanied by their wives, families and invited guests have already arrived, and are safely and comfortably at various hotels and boarding houses.

Oct. 7.—The absorbing sensation here is the result of the trial of the ex-Catholic priest, J. J. Boyle, which was concluded hero at midnight, resulting in Boyle's couvi tica and sC?utence to be hanged on Nov. 29. The case has created intense interest all over the state. Boyle came to this city last December as assistant to Father Riley, then in charge of the Church of the Sacred Heart, who was in failing hoalthr and unable to attend to all the duties of his charge. Boyle is a native of Pennsylvania and was educated in New York. {Since his trouble hero there have been rumors that he was sent here by friends with the hope that being placed among strangers would have a good effect upon him.

Having marched his army to the beach, he ordered Cham to tear up the city on the mainland and throw It into the water, and build a causeway two hundred feet wide to the island.

Boulangcr Out of the Fight man town. Boulanger is no longer a factor in any French political problem. Those who have heretofore been his warmest political friends are today ready to accept an explanation of the general's disastrous overthrow at tho polls which is anything but creditable to their former chief. Utterly unable to comprehend that the French people should have deliberately repudiated themselves and their revolutionary schemes, thoy now insist that their defeat is due entirely to tho failure of Gen. Boulanger to use the large sums of money which had been given him to aid in carrying the elections for the purposes for which they wero intended. Wednesday—Exhibition and drill; excursion to Mt.

On arriving at the rectory he found Aiiss W hi taker and another young girl gathering ilowers to decorate the church for fcSiuiday. According to her testimony he decoyed her into his room and assaulted her. Ilis story is that she consented to all that occurred. She is rather attractive and is 17 years of age. Boyle is 30 years old and Is a man of extraordinary intellect and education. Ho is decidedly handsome and is polished and refined.

Games lost It is openly charged that the general has been quietly stowing a -ay the millions of francs which his wealthy dti]Des poured into his coffers while he let the elections take care of themselves. Boulanger takes pains to create the impression that he is impoverished, but his disgusted allies make no secret of their belief that he has carefully nursed his bank account at the expense ot his own and their political prospects.

About 1350 delegates were present from all parts of the United States and Canada. The treasurer's report showed the order to be in a flourishing condition. In executive session committees were appointed to draft resolutions regarding the questions of railroads employing inexperienced men and minors, shorter hours for employes and the adoption of safety appliances. It was resolved to support the anti-Pinkerton bill. The employers' liability bill was warmly debated and a law was proposed for each state, the indemnity to bo $10,000, it being believed that such legislation would do much toward forcing railway corporations to provide safety appliances. It was decided to enter the Federation. Tho old board of officers was re-elected, the executive board being made advisory and increased to seven members. The legislative committee's report proved to be a surprise. It showed that there are but few laws in behalf of railway employes. What have generally been supposed to be laws are simply recommendations from railway and warehouse commissioners. The meeting then adjourned. his recovery. TO VISIT THE HOLY LAND. The Vote in Paris.

I am sure all my congregation will unite with the officers in giving their consent when I tell you why I go. First, my object is educational to myself and congregation.

They were all prominent citizens in their respective communities, and wero on their way home from Memphis, where they had been purchasing gc%ls. The other five occupants of the upper story escaped by climbing down the awning or jumping. A. J. Cook and W. L. Alford, who jumped, were badly injured. The pecuniary loss is not large. In conclusion he turned to the judge and said: l%I ain now ready to receive the sentence of this court." He stood with his arms folded aud his head thrown back in a most careless and defiant manner. While the death sentence was being pronounced his countenance did not change, and he did not sejin to be affected by it iu the slightest degree. After the sentence was pronounced he turned and spoke to liis counsel and smiled. Calamity in Japan. And hero is a miueraloglcal fair with specimens of iron and silver and tin and lead and gold.

Doyle is Still Hopeful. The Mayor of London's Dilemma. There is great divenuty of opinion about the verdict and feeling runs high over his death sentence. Boyle is in good spirits and says that he will not be hanged. He has thirty days in which to prepare his case for the supreme court, to which an appeal has been granted. His counsel will try to get a new trial unci wiii uigue that side issues and allusions to Boyle's appearance were used to affect the jury. It is thought that Boyle's own evidence, which was certainly in many respects unreal and improbable, did more than anything else to convict him. London, Oct. 7.—London's lord mayor elect, Mr. Isaacs, is brought face to face with what seems an insurmountable difficulty. Nov. 9 is the date for tho lord mayor's show, and this year it falls on a Saturday. Isaacs, who is a devout Jew, cannot lawfully either ride or walk in tho procession, and as a lord mayor's show without a lord mayor would be something of an innovation the outcome is watched with considerable interest.
