Onn FELLOWS MUTUAL RELIEF AssocIA-
rroN.-There is perhaps no institution in our
citv which better deserves notice through the
| columns of the PRESS than the one above NAM
| ed.
The Association was Incorporated May 10,
1868, with the object to secure to the families Of
deceased members such pecuniary aid as is
provided by its bylaws Its membership is
composed of members of any subordinate lodge
in this district, by making proper application
as set forth in its bylaws. sIhe admission lee
is two dollars, which shall accompany the ap-
plication, and to be applied as follows One dol
lar to the expense account, the other dollar to
be used to nav the members assessment to the
family of the first deceased member, then an
assessment of one dollar and ten cents is laid
upon each member to be used when the next
death occurs Thus it will be seen that there
is no delay in forwarding the amount due to the
family of the deceased, and making the work
of the association so simple that there is not
the slightest chance for any misunderstanding.
Since its formation to the present time it has
lost twenty-one members fn almost five years.,
an average of about five year. During the
past year it has lost three; its present member
ship is 73l; admitted the past year 1SS, thus
making the total relief ct this time S73l. sThe
association meets the third Tuesday eveninpin
each month, and every member of the Order
should make himself a member of this grand
institution, and thus secure TO his family in
case Of death a handsome sum at such tri
fling expense. A MEMBER
TEMPERANCE MEETING. - City Hall was
crowded last evening on the occasion of the
mass temperance meeting. The audience SEEM
ed to be deeply interested and paid the closest
attention to the speakers. Capt. Cyrus Stur-
devant presided. After the opening prayer by
Rev. e. p. Thwing, hymn was sung and then
Mr. Dyer Of New York; was introduced to the
meeting. Mr.. Dyer proceeded to advocate iu a
very interesting manner the cause of temper .
ancc, and related many instances of serious
evils wrought by the use Of alcoholic beverages.
Rev. Mr.. Dalton followed in an address direct
ed ia the main to young men, and warned
them against evil associations. Rev. Mr..
Williams thought our citizens should stand by
the law now on the statute books. The men
who executed that law and the men who en-
forced it are deserving of all honor.
Rev. Dr. Small made powerful and eloquent
appeal in favor of temperance, and pictured in
strong and vigorous language the fearful evils
attending the use of alcoholic stimulants.--
Capt. Sturdevant uttered few timely words in
regard to the position our city ought to take in
relation to temperance.
The meeting was very interesting and highly !
successful. 1t is the intention to hold another

CAR RCoUPLING.-The question has besn ask
ed many times, when will the old ma1-slaught-
ering car coupling be replaced by something
safer and better Tho slaughter of railroad
men has become so great that the people will
soon demand an answer. William Todd of this
city has coupling on exhibition at the Mer-
chants Exchange, Exchange street, for which
is claimed immunity from danger, economy,
and complete fulfillnent of all requirments.
BY its use the brakeman is never exposed to be
crushed between the cars, it is cheaper, costing
but little more than one half as much as the
| link and pin, and there can never be any
| lose of pins, which railroad men know to be
| quite large item of expense. The inventor
| invites the examination of railroad men, some
| of whom, who have seen it already express a
very favorable opinion. Mr.. Brown who has
been Assistant Superintendent, of the Phila-
| delphia Washington aud Baltimore railroad,
| gave it thorough examination Friday and
pronounced the inventors claim well founded

Judge Poland said he had asked Mr.. Steven
son, who introduced the resolution in the House
a few days ago, as to certain records to be in
vestigated and had been informed that he
should question Mr.. Ames as he knew some
thing about them,
Mr.. Ames-Are you going to investigate me
again?
Judge Poland made remark about the con-
science of certain gentlemen who held stock
and Mr.. Ames replied laughingly, Conscience,
am getting rather low opinion of conscience
since have been here. lLaughter.t
Mr.. Ames was then questioned as to the Du-
buque and Sioux City railroad named in Mr..
Stevenson's resolution, but testified he knew
nothing of any member of Congress having re-
ceiyed stock in the road as grant.
Witness was stockholder and he believed
that Mr.. Allison and Mr.. Blaine had also pur-
chased and paid for the stock in the road. No
member got stock without paying for it. There
was nothing immoral or corrupt about the
management of the road and it had no connec-
ton with the Union Pacific railroad.
j. B. Alley was recalled and corroborated the
testimony of Mr.. Ames in reference to the nu-
buque and Sioux City railroad.
At II o'clock the committee adjourned until
10 o'clock Tuesday morning, Judge Poland an

cation on Tuesday. -
