INTERESTING TO LODGE MEMBERS.
The General Term of the Court of Common Pleas
composed of Chief Justice DAILY, Justice J. +. DAILY
and Judge Van Hoesen, were busily engaged yester
day in hearing appeals from judgments of district
courts. Among the appeals brought up was very
interesting concerning the rights Of lodges and
their members. Jacob Mhhl became a member Of
Allegheny Lodge No. 10o. Of the order of Knights of
Pythias, in 1875. He continued to be member
until August 5. 1878. when he became sick. Under
the bylaws of the lodge member in good standing
is entitled to SIS per week sick benefits during
sickness. Mdhl remained sick until September 30,
1878. He again became sick on November 4, and re-
covered. He again taken sick on the
10th OF January, and continued to DO sick
we'll be demanded Sis from the lodge for twenty
three weeks sick benefit. The lodge refused to pay
him because when he was taken sick he was deprived
of sick benefits for thirteen weeks under the bylaws,
having been in for over three months before
that time and consequently suspended from sick
benefits. The plaintiff sued the lodge in the Fourth
District Court. before Judge Dinkel, to recover for
twenty-three weeks sick benefit Mr.. Alfred Steck-
Ter appeared for lodge and raised the point that
the bylaws provided that where u member was in
arrears for three months he could not receive
benefits for thirteen weeks after paying up such ar,
rearage Mr. Lcxon. the plaintiffs counsel, claimed
that such a bylaw was void and against public
policy. Judge pinkel held and gave Muhl
sion Mr.. steckler appealed to the Common
Pleas General Term, claiming that this decision OF
Judge Dlnkel, II sustained Dy the nlSner courts,
would virtually annul all the constitutions and by
laws of the lodges. Hence there were . number of
lodge officials in court yesterday to hear the argu,
ment Mr. Steckler. on behalf OF the lodge, argued
that the bylaw i'll question was proper for the pro-
lection OF Lodges from delinquent members. and
that the decision OF Judge Dinkel contrary to
law. He showed to the Court numerous authorities
that such bylaw was not against public policy.
On the other hand Mr.. Lexon for Null. claimed
that the decision of the Justice below correct.
The Court sustained Mr.. Stecklers position. and
his motion reduced the Judgment Of sl35 to $40.
without costs. the amount conceded to be due for
sick benefits while he was not III arrears. and while
