The Collision Between New York and
 Connecticut Masonic Rodies.

The Collision Between New York and
 Connecticut Masonic Bodies.
 Grand Master Anthony of New York for bids all intercourse between New York and Connecticut Masonic lodges, on the ground that the Connecticut Grand Lodge assumes jurisdiction of New York Masons The quar- rel is six years old, arising from the organi- zation of the lodge at Sharon, the New York Grand Lodge refusing to allow two Masons to join it before they were dismissed from lodge to which they belonged in New York The origin of the difficulty arose in 1872, when William W. Knight and Ralph K Woodward, members of Webotuck Lodge No. 48O in Millerton, Duchess county, NY, D etitioned the Connecticut authorities for a new lodge at Sharon, Conn, charter being granted in 1873. Knight and Woodward be- came members of the new lodge although the latter still resided in New York State In 1874 notices were served upon these mem bers by Webotuck Lodge that they were more than two years in arrears for dues and it was then first learned that they claimed to be members of the Hamilton Lodge at Sharon, under the jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge of Connecticut, and were bE, yir- tue of signing the petition for the new chapter dissolved from allegiance to the We botuck lodge In 1875 the matter was laid before the Grand Lodge of New York at it's annual cOmmun1caGlOn Tn June. The Con- neeticut Grand Lodge considered it in Janu ary, 1877, and ordered the payment of the dues, but only up to the date of the chapter of the lodge at Sharon at which time it was decided the membership of the two men in the Webotuck lodge was severed. The effect of this decision was held in New York to amount to claim C that the Grand Lodge of Connecticut might legally enter the State of New York, and, in manner to be prescribed only by its own will deprive lodges working under the jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge of New York of their members without their knowledge or consent" In this shape the question has come up before the New York and Connecticut bodies at their annual com munication nearly every year, New York freeing it's mind in June and Connecticut resdonping in January, the representations of neither having any effect to change the position of the other. Grand Master Ed mund L. Judson, in his address to the New York Masons in 1879, said there was little hope of any different course on the part of Connecticut, and called upon them to say whether they would allow the matter to drag along as it had been doing, or would take definite action. Nothing was then done j; but the committee on jurisprudence of the Con- necticut Grand Lodge having, in January last, made an exhaustive report on the case, affirming the complete justice of the course

semi-CentennfaI Statement.

Semi-Centemnial Statement.
 Itis fifty years since the business of Messrs E. &. T. Fairbanks & Co.,, scale manufac- turers, was established, and in celebrating their semi-centennial anniversary, they have the satisfaction of knowing that, out of lit tie business established in 1880 in Northern Vermont, there has grown up an industry which now reaches to all parts of the world. The scales bearing. the Fairbanks stamp are as well known to-day in Moscow, in Hong Kong, in Bombay, in London, as in the cities of our own country.
 The principle established at the outset by the manufacturers of Fairbanks Scales-that nothing but perfect scales, irrespective of their cost, should ever leave the factory has been followed out to the present time, and the result has been that each year has seen increasing demand for the Fairbanks standard.

Getting Down to Hard Pan-The Peat

Bog.
 It now appears to be settled fact that in the last land slide at the peat bog on the Hartford railroad, above Meriden, hard or rock bottom was struck. For days and days past, horses and carts and teamsters have been hard at work transporting dirt to the scene, and it now looks as if this troublesome spot wiI cause no further damage. A steam pump was employed on Wednesday in pumping water on the new road bed for the purpose of solidifying it and weighting down the mate rial, so that if any further sinking is possible, it will take place before the relaying of the track. The pump was run six hours without any perceptible change of the road bed, and again yesterday, So as to insure thorough satu- ration and testing of the thorough stability of the embankment.

 The members of the University crew who have returned to town for annuals express themselves as much pleased with their quar- ters, but say the new boat does not give the satisfaction anticipated, and that the race may be rowed in the old cedar shell.

 The freshmen sixty strong, escorted by the Howe band of Bridgeport, left the campus at three o'clock yesterday for the steamer Ella, which was to conduct them to Shelter Island, where they were to eat their supper at the Manahanset House. As the time for the third Harvard Yale game approaches the interest in the event deepens. Harvard recently defeated the Beacons in close game playing without an error. At present Harvard says she will win by batting if at all, and in this Yale fully concurs, especially in the if at all part.
