Work has been begun to extend the line OF the
Jersey CITY and Albany Railroad, now ending al
Iappan TO Haverstraw on the Hudson. The ROAD
was completed and operated in 1878 to Tappan.
The village of Haverstraw invited Its extension to
the Hudson and voted and issued bonds 10 the
amount of $4,000 to buy the rails. The railway
company secured the right of way and completed
most of tho grading. when the minority of the vii
lage raised a question as to the legality of the
bonds it had issued. The iron merchants refused 10
receive the bonds thus tainted IN exchange Tor the
rails and the financial panic increasing, the matter
was dropped, and trains ceased TO run on the com
pleted line between Jersey CITY and lappan. g,

pie of excitement by Offering the resolution OF
which he gave notice on Tuesday, declaring that
the attempt TO establish in this jurisdiction policy
that precludes the reelection of a Grand Master
meets the unqualified disapproval of the Grand
Lodge. The introduction of the resolution was fol-
lowed by an address in favor OF It's ADOPTION MI

They were however, voted down by large MAORI
ties Among them an amendment reducing me

Standing committees were announced by the Grand
Master.
The most interesting topic which engaged the at
teution of the members after the lodge had taken
recess until o'clock this morning was the election
of officers, which is made the special ordeT ioI ~

lcly that Grand Master JudsOn favored the one

partled as out of the question. General Charles
