the brotherhood.
Mr.. Meehan, editor of the irish Ame1S-
can is pronounced out of danger The
ball has not been extracted.
John Savage has issued an address to
the Council of Fenian Brotherhood, re-
porting the organization as financially
strong; declaring his opposition to attack
ing the British in Canada; claiming that
the organization is merely intended to
speed the benefits of a just political system,
and that the tenure bill in Parliament is
not a settlement of the Irish land question,
but the best that can be hoped for, and if
passed, will not embarrass the Brotherhood

the leaders of the home organization will
be prepared to unfurl their banner on

Ecumcnical Council.
A summons to all the FREQ and Accepted
Masons in this city, requiring them to as
semble last evening in the rooms of Hope
Lodge No. pa of Free and Accepted Ma
sons, in compliance with the order of the
Grand Master of the State, has been pub
lished for the past few days. A large
crowd assembled at the designated place.
The members of the fraternity generally
were admitted. The first speaker, n. w.
John w. Simons, p. G.. M, in a short
speech announced that the object of the
meeting was TO urge the building of Ma
sonic Temple and an Asylum for Aged Ma
sons, and to receive subscriptions for the
objects. The ground has been purchased
on the corner of Eighth avenue and Ninety
third street at cost of $4,000.
In the course of his remarks, Mr.. Simons
warned his auditors that the Council, at
Rome, was using its influence to put down
Masonry, as opposed to religion, and said
that they would show them that its inhu-
ence was beneficial.
L. A. James, and NJ. Austin, G. s., fol-
lowed with the same remarks, in advocacy
of the object.
Subscription books were then opened
and many subscriptions made. Meetings
for the same purpose are to be held in all
the lodges in the city.
WOOIIy.

citizens was held in Newark last evening"
10 listen to addresses by prominent speak

BaiIey's Accounts.
District Attorney Pierrepont says that
the full amount of Bailey's defalcations
will not be known until all the persons
assessed whose names are checked uncol-
lected have been notified to pay, and it is
ascertained how many have Collectors re-
ceipts. No clue has yet been discovered to
his whereabouts, but hints are still thrown
out that he can be arrested at anymoment.
On the other hand, many Of his friends
assert that he will commit suicide rather
than be captured. He drew no large sum
of money on the day he left. The report
that be owned an estate in England Is PFC
nounced untrue, as is the statement that
he has $40, 900 belonging to guagers who
had all been paid to March 1.
Checks amounting.to over 500, 600 from
merchants for the payment of storekeepers'
salaries in bonded warehouses were found
in Bailey's desk. 1t is intimated that if be
meditated flight Bailey could, in thirty
DAYS, by making deposits, have awaited
himself of $500, 900. That this is not the
case, it has been amply verified.
The Widow stanton.
The subscriptions for the benefit of the
family of the late Mr. Stanton now amount
to $50, 600; of this sum $50, 600 were in
contributions by New York, $50, 900 by
Pennsylvania, S25, 200 by persons in Bos-
ton and SIC, 900 bypersons in Washington.
There appears to be considerable differ
ence of opinion among the trustees as the
manner in which the money shall be in
vested.
Caldwell and IIIatchfOrd Again.
District Attorney Pierpont received yes
terday, from a responsible correspondent,
in Canada, letter announcing that the
court had ordered R. B. Caldwell, who is
charged with being one of Blatchford's ac-
completes in the drawback frauds, to be
delivered up to the United States authori-
ties. Judge Pierpont however, has re-
ceived this news so often that he does not
put any faith in it, nor does he expect that
Caldwell will be actually extradited, so
long as he has a dollar left for Canadian
