DENVER, CoL, Aug-. 10.—At least 85,000 Knights Templar participated In the grand purude icli started at 10:45 a. in. Monday's rain, while it marred the beauty of some of the decorations, cooled the. air and made it much more comfortablo for the mnreliing fritters. The chief marshal's office OIIAND MAHTKII tiom.v. was a busy place durinp the morniii(j-. All the positions had been assigned Ions atfo, but it was Impossible to tell just what commanderies would be on hand to take the positions assigned thein. Orders were issued to be in place at 0 o'clock, and at that time they were all ready. After waiting an hour three guns were fired und the head of the procession began to move. Just at the same time Grand Muster (lobm and hi« escort, St John commnndery, of Philadelphia, started from the IJrown I'alaee hotel for the. oflleial reviewing stand at Sixteenth and Logan avenues.

Vlfwoil hy Thoutiunds*

All nlong tho line the people crowded so as to form an unbroken line :i miles in length, and there could not have been loss than 200,000 people viewing the magnificent pageant. The multitude awaiting thj arrival of the grand encampment of offleorn at the review stand started enthusiastic cheering, which was continued until Grand Master (Jobin took his seat It was some time before the head of the procession rcaohed the reviewing stand, but the Cowboy band entertained tho large throng during the wait with excellent music.

Line of Mirch.

The line of march of tho procession began on Fourteenth street, crossed over Court place to Sixteenth street then up Sixteenth street past the reviewing stand to Knee street, and then returned to the business section again. After several miles of marching the parade broke up at the Masonic temple. Tho fourteen divisions formed on as many sides and took their places us the line moved ulong. AH the start was made ut 10 o'clock with Jifi.OOO men in line tho rear was hardly in motion two hours later.

ScrnoR In tho StroctK.

There were nearly two dozen public stands scattered along the line of inarch. They held from 100 to 1,000 people each, lioside.s there were innumerable private stands and every1 window in the business blocks v.-ns crowded with sight-seers. The business men of Denver did not charge for the privilege of looking out of their windows and the visitors took advantage of their kindness. There was a charge tnough for seats in the public^ stands, and at 10 o'clock SflO would not purchase ono. They woro packed from top to bottom, whilo the streets about them were iilled with a living mass, fiemonadc venders and peddlers oX ail descriptions thronged the. thoroughfares and tlielr cries tilled the air. lioxes and barrels were in demand, and several long headed frroecryinen made small fortunes retailing these articles.

It was an enthusiastic gathering, and none were more enthusiastic than those who came from the mountains and stood with sombrero.! and spurs (Huong tho spectators. They had never seen such a gathering before, and they made the most of their opportunity. It was a good-natured crowd, too, and the knights wore cheered to the echo as ihey marched along.

The asphalt streets made good marching possible and the knights made a line appearance. The music was excellent and it was one of the greatest days the Silver state has ever seen.

Nearly every commandery scheduled to appear in the parade arrived during tho morning, hut strangers kept' coining until noon. The. New Hampshire and Vermont, commanderies got in early, and so did those from Indiana, Maryland,,Oregon and Maine. During the morning probably 10,000 people arrived.

Tho Conclnvc W«!roin'l.

The grand encampment went Into session immediately after the parade, but little business was transacted, the business being coniined for the most part to the welcoming of oilleers bj' the representatives of the city and state. Frank 1i. 11111, the chairman of the triennial executive committee, extended tho grand master and other ollicors of the grand encampment a cordial greeting and Introduced Gov. Joliu I. Ttoutt and I'latt Rogers, mayor of Denver, each of whom delivered hearty addresses of welcome. Oen. Curr, the grand commander of Colorado, likewise extended a fraternal greeting, and in responding Grand Master Gobln spoke highly of the manner in which the knights tomplar in general hud been received. The roll was then callcd and tho grand cncumpmcnt went into secrot session, subsequently adjourning until this morning ut 0:1)0. Tho election of otllcers of the grand encampment of tho United States for the ensuing three years will take place Thursday, und it Ls probably well settled that the successor of Grand Master Gobin will be Deputy Grand Master MoCu.-dy.

calls was carried on between the various headquarters of the different state commanderies, these informal receptions being the order of the evening. All the rooms are gnyly decorated with silken banners and trophies of the particular state commandery and the hospitality extended to all callers in tho matter of refreshments ia unbounded. The Colorado headquarters were given up to a reception by the wives of Colorado knights to women accompanying the visiting templars, so that the guests of both sexes were well looked after.

The Conclfivc.

The membership of the grand commandcry of the United States is only about l!(!0. and is madeupof the ollicers of the grand encampment, all past grand commanders of the grand jurisdiction of the United States, all grand commanders in active service, all deputy grand commanders, all grand generalissimos and all grand captain generals.

A proposition will coine before the body to make Washington, I). C.t the permanent meeting place of tho encampment, and it hns been suggested that a magnificent temple be erected there. Another matter which will attract considerable attention is tho selection of a place for holding the triennial in ISSin.

BV HIS OWN IIANP.

ST. Lor IS, Aug. 10.—This city was thrown intogreatexcitcmentshortly before noon Tuesdayby the news that J. 0. Normile, judge of the criminal court, hnd committed suicide at his boarding house, 1422 Washington avenue. Later reports confirmed the rumor. Judge Nonnilo returned to his boarding house at 10 o'clock o. m. after a short visit to the business portion of the city. On entering tho house he requested his landlady to come to his room in an hour, stilting that he felt unwell nnd might be seriously ill at thnt hour. The judge returned to his room, and when it was visited by the landlady at 11 o'clock she found him lying deud on the bed. On a small table was an empty phial which hnd evidently contained acid of an extreme and doadly diameter. Physicians were ut once summoned, but a glance showed that the victim was beyond all human aid.

Trouble with the roHt-Ulnpateh. Some time ago tho Post-Dispatch, of this city, severely criticised the administration of Judge Normile, and recently the judge brought suit for libel against that paper in the sum of S40O,000. On Monday depositions were taken in the proceedings and Judge Normile was subjected to a severe examination as to his antecedents, life :iud rulings. It is believed the examination preyed heavily on his mind. Mondny night he was seen in various resorts und gave evidence of having drank heavily. He reached his home at late hour and left it early in the morning, saying that he felt unwell and would return later. lie returned at 10 o'clock with the result stated a hove.

Ilf CrHvrrt K»\st.

The following note wus found in diary on the person of Judge Normile and had evidently just been written: "For niurc ihun a ycur 'Uw atrocious Ulmlrrt! of thu lJu.-U'l-iMpn u-h have had mo oti till melt.

On the lleneb Klnee IH7II.

Judge Normile was born in Ireland in 1844. He came to this country at an early age, und with his parents passed the years previous to his majority in Kansas, lie studied law in Georgetown university and later in the law department of the Columbian university at Washington, D. C. He was elected circuit attorney of this city in 1872, and was elected judge of the criminal court in 1870. He was reelected in lSOO for six years. Judge Normile was unmarried and leaves but a moderate fortune.

Four Others Tired of f.lr«.

It scorns as if the atmosphere was laden with suicidal mania, for four inure suicides wore reported in quick succession after that of Judge Normile. Wnlter D. Colc«, a lawyer, having on ofliee In the Bank of Commerce building, shot himself to death, tho cause being financial trouble. At Ills ofliee at Third and Market streets, Dr. Marion Tolhaez, despondent and "ont of luck," shot himself fatnlly. Two more violent deaths of residents of the south end were announced about the sumo hour.

giYttitf an exhibition, suffered heavily. 1 The bi# tent and fill tho other tents were lifted from lie poles and torn Into shredfi, nothing lnrger than 0 feet of canvuKs being left whole. The sky became very black with heavy clouds and then followed the work of destruction. The performance had just

concluded and the spectators dispersed. Performers were in their dressing tents and many of them were unsheltered before their toilet was complete. The band of Arabs accompanying the circus were seized with terror and became panic stricken, it being with the greatest dllllculty that they were assured of their safety. Costumes of all kinds were scattered to the winds, seats were tumbled over nnd utensils of nil kinds strewn for considerable distance. Had the storm struck tho tents a few minutes earlier the loss of life would have undoubtedly been frightful. The loss of the canvass Is $23,000 and on g,xts (3,000. No performance could he. given at night, which entails a further loss of £.\0u0 more. The animals in their cages made frantic efforts to free themMilvcH, but no accident of any kind occurred to either man or bcust, with one exception, l''runk .loiies,an attache of the circus, who sustained severe cut on the faco and head, twolve stitches being necessary to close up the wound.
