Bros. Finley, Mcdaniel, Wild and Hirst were
called on and sang several songs.
Treasurer Smith, of Leiperv lle Lodge, gave u
brief history of his Lodge, which, he said started
in the garret of n taverA. The tavern had high
peaked roof, and the meeting room was SO small
that when n member wished to speak he had to
step out in the centre OF the floor, and back into
his seat when through. The Lodge affairs were
conducted Yer, economically aud when o small
sum OF money was accumulated 1t was invested in
real estate, &c.
When the funds amounted TO only $7oO the
Lodge started TO build the hall they n ow occupy.
At the laying OF the cornerstone 1t was common
remark that the hall would be sold by the Sheriff
before 1t was dedicated, but the prediction failed
TO be verified, and the hall was not only built but
soon paid for. Looking back now, it seems
great undertaking TO begin building hall cost
ing some $1,000 with only 500 on hand.
But the work was done, the hall was dedicated
and to-day the Lodge Is the owner of every brick
in IA property worth 1000.
The meeting adjourned about Has, and the Wis
itors returned on the midnight train.

aNsENOIARY FIRE

A STABLE DESTROYED EY FIRE-A HORSE
BURNED To DEATH, AND ANOTHER BADLY
INJURED.
About 2:30 o'clock Sunday morning fire was
discovered in the stable belonging to Robert
NcGonigle baker on Third street between
King and French. The alarm was promptly
given but by the arrival of the engines the
stable and contents we've past saving, and
nothing could be done beyond preventing the
spread of the flames to the djoning property
I his was successfully accomplished and tn q
flames were confined to the stable until the y
we're finally extlnguished.
In the Stable at the time of the fire were
three horses. and 4 lot of harness, hay, feed,
Nc. One of the horses burned to death in the
stable and the other two were rescued, though
one of them sustained such injuries 10 will
render it unfit fer service for several weeks
| The harness. grain. hay, &c., were totally de
stroyed. Mr. MctiOnigle's loss will react
| about 81 900, on which there is small insur-
ance.
| The fire is undoubtedly of incendary ori
| gin. There was no lire of any kind about tn,
premises and had the fire originated acciden-
tally it would have been discovered earlier as
there was no one at the stable who had AM
right to be there after eight O'Clock. We hope
the incendiary may be promptly caught 70
surely no punishment can be too severe for
wretch who can thus deliberately fire stabl,
and fiendishly destroy the life of a poor duml
brute.
