THE ST.. JOHN ODD FELLOWS. "A conven-
ton of the Odd Fellows of the city was held at
the SMALL lodge room last evening. Grand
Master Stephen X. Dyer, presided. Past
Grand Charles B. Nash, who had returned
from St. John, made report of the condition
of the Odd Fellows in that city. Their lodge
and encampment halls had been burned and
nearly all the members of the order had lost
their homes. He related several cases of suf-
feripg and restitution. He took with him $1OO
from Maine lodge and $50 from Unity lodge,
and four boxes of clothing and sent two boxes
last night. Past Grand Littlefeld, who ac-
companied Mr.. Nash, also made few remarks
He called the attention of the convention to
the destituton of Noble Grand hay of Pioneer
lodge, who.s. known to many in this city. He
proposed a private subscription for him and
quite sum was raised.
The several committees made their reports,
from which it is learned that the Odd Fellows
have raised about 5000 for their suffering
brethren. Maine lodge voted 500, Beacon
$25, Unity voted $50 and has raised an equal
sum by subscription, Lgonia has collected 1913
and Ancient Brothers has raised $175. 1t was
voted that these sums be sent to st. John by
Grand Master Dyer Mr.. William Smith
made a few remarks to the effect that other
lodges in the state should be invited to con-
tribute, but was told that the principal lodges
were already moving in the matter. He
thought that the lodges in st. John should
make an appeal for aid in order to fit up
rev hail.

The BACK Cove NUIsANCE.-The Harbol
Commissioners had hearing yesterday after.
noon, at the foot of Mayo street, on the petit.
ton Of the citizens at Back Cove for the i'm
provement Of the sewer openings. Several Of
the petitioners were present, and stated the bad
condition of the flats at present. One of them,
who lives on Wilmot street, said that unless
something was done to better their condition
he should sell his house and move out to Deer.
ing. He had no faith in what is being done
now, in extending the sewers out into the flats
few hundred feet The Commissioners were
of the opinion that to build dams at the sluce-
ways would make the matter worse than ever,
by damming up the filth which would other
wise run out to sea. With this opinion they
could not see their way clear to take any action
at present. 1t would seem that the only way
to kill the stencil is to run the sewers out
through the little sluice-way now existing in
the marginal way, to the channel, or else to fill
in the flats solid between the marginal way
and main land. There is no doubt but what
the condition is bad, and something should be
done to remedy the evil.

JooKEYING! jockeying! jockeying! What
does this mean! The Portland Transcript re-
Gently predicted that Presumpscot Park would,
within a few years, be cut up into house lots.
The PRESS of the same city, commenting on
does something to stop the jockeying which is
carried on there at every race, this prediction
will be fulfilled in short order" Now, what
can this mean? We shall have to read our Port
land exchanges and see what is going on.
Jockeying at every race! But what does it
mean? Will the PRESS tell us?-Boston Her.
aid.
Certainly, though an examination of Web
ster's Dictionary, would have furnished you
the information much sooner. To jockey is not
only to ride horse at a race, but also to cheat,
and we used the word n this latter sense. We
assume. fundamentally perhaps, that the Her
aid knows the definition of cheating.
