every evening Your reporter very punctual this
evening at the "hsy oft,' having resolved to be on
hand in time. Before the Council called to order
good many brothers gathered around the stove, and
fom their ersaonit evident that the troubles
and yexations OF the Taylor and Dooley men
rot yet at an end. IL appears that OF the

asctrtained that the charter was given for Council

the hands of the Dcoey men, they had in unlawful
manner appropriated to the starting of new Coan-

| taking the ground that Joe Taylors Council was
bogus and its charter obtained through false pro-
lenses it being intended for the whole Council, with
out initiating the members again. Brother Joe de-
| cared himself particularly down on all those
engaged in the other Council and he meant to follow
| them up.
| At about 81 o'clock the President being absent,
Wee President Constable Taman called the house to
done but little for Bro. Talman, and it is evident
science has done great deal less The position of
presiding officer was new to him. and he made what
the theatrical critics call Several new readings and
some original decisions that will venture to say Mr..
Speaker Banks with ell his experience, heard

Docberry He had OCCASION during speech, to draw
an illustration from the "Pignm's Progress" and
gave as the author of that popular work. that Illus

rem knew the difference.
Bro Ketchum objected to the adoption Of the min
utes as being Illegal and wished his protest to In en-
tered against the proceedings of this council IL was
of no use; the Taylor men put the minutes through.
When the balloting for new members took place,
Bro Ball acted as teller, and when a Dooley man was
proposed he took all the black balls out of the box
and put them in his pocket. Isaiah keyser was one
of the patriots who elected to join his fortunes
to Bro. Joe and Council No. Is Bro Keyser, though
he did not succeed in getting the office OF Health
Warden. has concluded that No. is holds out greater
inducements to oceseekers than the ghost Of the old
| Wing party does.
Bro Smthson now came in, and wanted "that are"
charter read; he had never it or heard IL read.
Bro s. asked to see the charter. Zone" Mills, the
Secretary wouldn't let Mr.. s. have the precious doc

stove. Finally Bro Joe said he would trust Smith
SON. and took the charter and handed it to Bro. g., at
the same time collecting his body guard around it, 50

peared that il only duplicate charter, intended
for the regular Council for the lost or desroyed

men were clearly Illegal. Bro. Smthson now made q
pathetic speech in which he stated he had called on
Grand President Barker, who had told him that the
charter was granted to the old Council and that Bro.
Joe and his followers had no right TO reject keep
out members without using the proper course rs laid
down in the ritual
| The Taylor and Dooley men now began to feel quito
uncomfortable. 1t became evident that the whole
matter would up at the next meeting of tho State
Council and that Bro Joes seat delegate would be
hoty contested the ground that he has violated tho
constitution and obligations. IL was also plain that
| Bro Joe felt that he not going TO have every
| thing his own way, he moved that Committee OF
-Four be appointed to inquire into the matters existing
between the Joe Taylor Council and the old Coun.
ell and try TO bring about compromise. He said he
was in favor Of letting in the members Of the old
Council except Ike Clark the head of the opposition

Bro. Ball stated he had procured ten black balls that
evening, so to be ready for him. All the toy shops
in the Wasi had been ransacked for black marbles,
and the stock was all taken up The Committee was
then appointed consisting Of Bro Joe and "One"
