' 7 Prospectoi the Rebellion of St JOHN’S Lodge Ol NOPWdIk Against the Grand Lodge. A Breezy War imminent. The action of the Grand Lodge of Masons at Hartford onWednesday con- cerning the disagreement between the two Norwalk lodges—St. John’s Of N-orwalk and Old Well of South Nor- walk—has aroused old St. J ohn’sLodge to the highest pitch of indignation, and there is a prospect of a rebellion in comparison with which the famous trouble with Hiram Lodge of New Ha- ven, will fade into insignificance. The history of the trouble was dis- closed in the testimony taken before a committee appointed by the Grand Master, which sat in Norwalk early in December. It was shown that Henry Carlson, an aged member of St. John’s Lodge, and at one time possessed of some property, had latterly become poor, and nearly three years ago ap- pealed to his lodge for assistance, which was rendered for nearly two years, and until Carlson’s property was foreclosed to satisfy mortgage notes. The com- mittee secured the small house where Carlson had lived, and, as he had no family, placed a Hungarian family in the house to care for him. This lasted several months, when the Hungarians removed to Pennsylvania, leaving be- hind, at the urgent request ot'the lodge, one person to care for Carlson until other arrangements could be made. Judge Austin, the committee, spent much time during the followingr ten days trying to find a place for Carlson, but, as he was a heavy man and unable to walk. no one was found who was will- ing to take him. The Hungarian wo- man could remain no longer, Carlson wuld not be left alone, and in this ex- tremety he was taken to the almshouse under an agreement with the sclectman but his board should be paid by the lodge. The first selectman is a Mason, and Carlson received excellent care, and his condition was so much improved that the officers of the lodge made no haste to take him away. After a little more than three weeks Old Well Lodge removed Carlson and placed him with a Hungarian family in East Norwalk. 011 the 'next day St. John’s committee was informed that Carlson had been removed. Prompt search was made, and St. John’s com- mittee, Judge Austin, found Carlson, but as he appeared to be well treated and contented, let the matter rest un- til the next communication of St. John’s Lodge, where he made a. statement of facts. A few days later Old Well Lodge removed Carlson from Norwalk to Weston, where Judge Austin could not find him. He inquired of the Secre- tary of Old \Vell Lodge, who refused to give him any information. The situation remained unchanged until the annual meeting of St. J onn’s Lodge in December, 1890, when the secretary received an envelope contam- ing a bill from Old Well Lodge for Carlson’s keepmg. The charges were $6aweek. The bill bore the seal of ‘ Old Well Lodge, but there was nothing else in the envolope. St. John’s Lodge directed its secretary to communicate .with Old Well Lodge and inquire why the bill was sent. The reply was a let- ter charging St. John’s Lodge with in- humanly treating Carlson and avowing that a committee of Old Well Lodge, in the interest of humanity and Masonry and the exercise of Masonic charity. had removed him to a proper place. whereupon St. John’s Lodge notified Old Well Lodge that until Old Well Lodge returned Carlson to the jurisdic- tion from which he had been unlawful- ly and unmasonically taken, St. John’s Lodge did not desire further corre- spondence with Old \Vell Lodge upon that subject. Then Old Well Lodge brought a hearing was had in Bridgeport before the Grand Masters, who proposed that St. John’s Lodge settle by paying a part of the bill. B. W. Maples, Master of St. John’s, emphatically refused to pay one cent. The Grand Master ordered Old W'ell Lodge to return Carlson to the charge of St. John’s Lodge and the Master of St. John’s Lodge to provide for his sup- port outside of the almshouse. St: John’s Lodge placed Carlson with a family in N orwalk, and later, after full consultation with the Grand Master, and at his advice. in the Bridgeport Hospital. on an order from the Select- men of Norwalk. He remained there until his death on J an. 16 last. The bill was therefore paid by the town of Norwalk. In the mean time the Grand Master had appointed a committee of three to hear the evidence and report to the Grand Lodge. St. John’s Lodge objected to one of the committee be- cause he had visited Old Well Lodge, ~' discussed the whole matter with the of- ficers and several members of that denounced having heard the other side, but the Grand Master decided that they were not sufficient. St. John’s Lodge ap- pealed to the Grand Lodge, but "Grand Master Sterling referred St. John’s Lodge to the prerogatives of the Grand Master, denied the appeal, and ordered the hearing. which was had as before stated. In the Grand Lodge the Grand Master read. an address, in which he assumed that St. John’s Lodge had been gullty of unmasonic conduct, but he d1d not say what law or practice of Masonry had been violated. The com- mlttee suppressed most of the testie mony, and found St. John’s Lodg- guilty. The vote was that St. John’s Lotdge bet reprimanded, and should WI 1111 51x y (2in pa .- 192.17 to Old Well Lodge. Promidrerist members of St. John’s say the Grand Lodge was biased, and they will surrender their charter before they will either be rep- rimanded or pay one cent of the claim against them. St. John’s Lodge was instituted as St. John’s No. l, by George Harrison, Provincial Grand Master of New York, May 23, 1765. and chartered as St. John’s No. 6 by the Grand Lodge, of Connecticut, Oct17, 1793 —Sunday Sun. .0. ~~>>7— Said :1 Belden avenue urchin— “Mnmma, what does Mr. Cleveland want to be President again for, when he’s so busy making Baking Powder?” charges against St. John’s Lodge, and. Sumatra Wrappers. Judge Shipman has given an opinion in the case of Charles Soby vs. C Hubbard, collector. This is the suit in which Mr. Soby sought to recover duty assessed by the collector and paid by Soby under protest, as he believed the construction of the law by the collector to be erroneous. Many similar suits exist and this will be a leading case. The tobacco bought was a lot unstem— med Sumatra wrapper. According to the collector’s return in the warehouse entry there were 8,194 pounds of the kind that had over 100 leaves to the pound and this was taxed 75 cents per pound. Of the kind that was not over 100 leaves to the pound 1,622 pounds were found, on which the tax was 35 cents per pound. The statute, the act of March, 1883, places a duty of 75 cents a pound on unstemmcd "leaf tobacco of which 85 per cent. is of the requisite size and of the necessary fineness of texture to be suitable for wrappers and of which more than 100 leaves are required to weigh a pound.” Other unstemmed leaf tobacco is put at 35 cents a pound. The Opinion holds first that the pro- vision as to weight relates not to the 85 per cent. but to the unit of quantity of which 85 per cent. has the required size, fineness and weight, the lot to be taxed 75 cents a pound. This unit of quantity the opinion holds to be “the separated quantity of the wrapper leaf of the specified des- cription,” in this instance the entire lot in question. It was of uniform grade and there was no fraudulent admixture of inferior tobacco. The judge says that the statute im- pressed a duty of either 75 cents or 35 cents in the whole quantity according as 85 per cent. of it did or did not come up to the statutory standard. The collector, however, found that 83 per cent. of it came up to the stand- ard and taxed that at 75 cents. Mr. Soby is allowed to recover the differ— ence between 75 cents and 35 cents per pound on this 82—} per cent. of the lot, which was 8,194 pounds or $3,271.00.— Courant. .7700. » Veterans of the State.

After the funeral the minds of the relatives were ill at 0.1% in re- gard to the exposed condition of the re- mains of the deceased as it was rea- lized how easily ghouls, particularly Trinity students, could operate did they desire to desecrate the grave of the old man. Policemen are now watching the grave until a tomb can be erected. ___.... - 4-».,,. Insurance Rates Raised. Word was received in Middletown yesterday from the New England Ex- change of Fire Underwriters that here- after rates for manufacturers and clothing merchants would be increased 50 per cent. over the old figures. On stocks of clothes which are only dam- aged by smoke rates will be reduced to 25 per cent., if full damage is not claimed. . A 49 Why He Refuses. Comptroller Staub bases his refusal to pay Bank Commissioner Griswold’s salary on the statute which says: “Va- cancies may be filled by the Governor until the next regular session of the general assembly, when they shall be filled by the Governor with the advice and consent of the Senate.” The pres- ent_senate has not confirmed any nomi- nations. - r<o»——~~———~~ Roasted to Death. Yesterday the farm house of George Myers, three miles west of Kendall- v111e, Indiana, was burned to the ground, and Marion,the eighteen-year- old son of Mr. Myers, and Mr. Ownes, a brother of Mrs. Myers, who were sleepmg 1n an upper room. were roasted to death.

Oyster Cocktail. Foster Coates, the New York prohi- bition jouriiialist who is now in San Francisco with the Eastern editorial excursion. has struck there a new and mightily thrilling beverage, which he thus describes: You close your eyes and open them again with a start to wonder what has happened to you. It permeates the body from the tin of the great toe to the bald spot on the head. It is exhil- erating in the highest degree. It makes one feel as though he could thrash all the world in one round. The person who drinks this cocktail feels himself to "be stronger than Samson. The “tired feeling” passes off in the twinkle of an eye. The world opens as rosy as a June morning. This cocktail is mighty to help those who need help in the morning. may say for the benefit of New Yorkers that it is made in a small glass and is composed of Tabasca sauce, vinegar, red pepper, a little catsup, a dash of onion sauce. :1 little salt, a few drops of very good whiskey, two or three small oysters chopped very fine and stirred together with some mysterious hot stuff, that is far superior to even Tabasco in burn- ing the tongue. But it is delicious. It is inSpiring. It is thrilling. It is the sort of a drink I would advise men to take before they go into battle or try to explain to their wives why they have been out all night. San Fran- cisco people pride themselves on this cocktail. There is nothing like it any- where else in the world. ~-v~‘—~--—~~<->—v - — His Feet Crushed. John \V.

His train was switchlng at the time and af— ter signaling the engineer to start he attempted to board a car. He slipped and fell beneath it. The wheels passed over both feet, crushing the toes of the, right and the entire left foot into a jelly. The ambulance was called and the injured man was removed to the emergency where his injuries were temporarily dressed, after which he was conveyed to the general hospital. _.__ .-..... ..
