Meeting of the Grand ENcameMcnt ana
Grand lodge I. O. O. F-Good Attend-
Interesting and Able Reports.
The Grand Lodge and Grand Encamp-
ment of I. o. 0. F. are in session at this
place. large number of prominent mem
bers are in attendance. The Grand En-
campment met at this morning. Nine En-
campments were represented, and more del
egates came on the morning trains. The
reports of the grand officers show
the subordinates to be in good
condition. There has been net
gain of twenty-one in membership -consid-
cred good in view of the hard times. Grand
Patriarch Ives report is considered very
able ono. He discusses at length the causes
which retard the growth of this branch of
the order. The other reports are full and
able. The grand encampment at noon took
recess until evening. The morning trains
brought in a host of delegates, and the hotels
are overfowing. The Sawyer house has the
main crowd, and is filed three deep. A
member told me he slept last night on a cot
thirteen inches wide, and probably would
have to sleep on that tonight. Those mem
bers who have wives with them secured beds,
however.
The grand lodge met at 2 o'clock at the
Opera house. About 100 delegates were
present, less than last year. The reports
show good progress. The whole member
ship in the State is 3,197; number of lodges
60. The question of permanent location
comes up again tomorrow morning. Stevens,
of Minneapolis, heads the locaters, and Dye,
of Winona, the opposers.
This afternoon an excursion on the lake,
with cornet band in attendance.
Norro,u Escape from a Bad Fire.
At 5:25 P. M. yesterday fire was discovered
under considerable headway at Hersey, Bean
& Browns mill. The mill whistle immedi-
ately sounded the alarm, which was con-
tinued by the bridge whistle and others of
the town. The fire originated in the wood
work heated by the radiation from the iron
smoke-stack just back of the boilers. The
city steamer was on the ground with COM
mendable promptness, uot more than eight
minutes having elapsed from the first alarm.
The mill force-pump, however, supplied
from the reservoir on the hill top, had gotten
the fire under control and prevented what
might have been disastrous confagration.
