ANCIENT MASONIC ENBLEMS.
More Important Discoveries in
E0Vnt.

NEW YORK, March 2O.-A special from Paris
gives on authority of Cairo correspondent the
following: Interesting and important as were
the discoveries Of Commander Gorringe and
Dr. Fanton, they were not exhaustive and the
practised eye of another distinguished Masonic
dignatary has just detected an additional series
OF emblems Of a value and significance far
and more unquestionable than those previously
reported. Mr. S. A. Zola, grand commander
and president Of the Scotch Ancient and Ac-
cepted Masonic Rite for Egypt, and Egyptian
ex-grand master OF symbolic Masonry, has just
examined the foundations Of the Alexandrlan
obelisk. and has discovered another series Of
stones, which not only bear all the existing
Masonic emblems, but furnish the key, which
has hitherto been lacking, to explain the entire
dimensions and proportions Of what proves to
have been an elaborate Masonic edifice Including
the obelsk itself. the pedestal the stair case and
the hidden foundations. Mr.. Zola processes to
be able by this discovery to throw vivid light
upon the ancient Egyptian origin symbolism,
hitherto SO energetica1ly disputed by many sa-
vans and is expected that the publication OF his
detailed drawings will finally settle more than
one Of the problems which lie at the very found

Correspondence Of The Sdf,.l
FALLS CHURCH, Va, March 10Th. 1880. =
The county convention Of the republicans
held at the court house yesterday, selected Mr..
Clark to represent them at the state convention
to be held at Staunton, and instructed him to
support Blaine delegates to Chicago. A lively
discussion was had over a proposition to request
the state authorities to sell to individuals the
40 OG0 acres of land in this county that has been
forfeited to the state for non-payment of taxes,
and as consequence has paid no taxes for some
years. 1t was voted down as no part of the
business Of the convention.
Winter has been lingering little In the lap
of spring. This is just ''to strike an average
in weather matters. 1t is tapering out with
rains and rainy prospects most OF the time.
This Is good for grass and wheat, but for no.
thing else. The roads are little short Of i'm
blossoms before the recent snowfall, but the
wild flowers that with the spring time "are
scattered over the plain, !" have as yet been timid
to put forth their blooms.
1t is currently reported that party here Is
about to apply to the county court for an in

Prof. Graham is getting the stone on the spot
preparatory to laying the foundation walls for

The site is an elevated and beautiful one, and
the prospect commands a fine view of the ma
t1on's Capitol risen above the eastern horizon.
What place it will be for tired editors to rest
and recuperate when the ''dog star RACES" and
the summers heat distressingly oppresses.

Restored Army Officers.
TWO OF THEM IN TROUBLE.


The history Of army officers who have been
dismissed the service and restored again by act
Of Congress, is not calculated to commend to
popular favor the interposition Of special legis-
lation by Congress IN such cases.
THE CASE OF CAPT. ARMEs.
captain George A. Armes, now Of the 10Th
cavalry, was dismissed the service June !, 1919.
He began fight for restoration, and his case
successful, and a bill was passed by Congre 8
restoring him to his rank and place on the list
where he would have been by the regular order
also got back pay. His restoration was dated
May 18th, 1878. He wa, assigned to duty at Fort
Clark, Texas, commanding Company L, of the
10th cavalry; This regiment is colored. Charges
he was tried by court-martial. He was tried for
brutal and inhuman treatment of his men. Va
riOus individual cases of cruelty were cited. He
would order his men to duty when the surgeon
said they were unfit and should be in the hOspi-
tai. Great suffering was caused by his action.
1t was charged. The court found him guilty
service. The President Of the United States
now has the case under consideration. Since
his trial and conviction Capt. Armes has had
further charges preferred against him. He was
native OF Virginia and a resident of this city,
where he staid while making his long fight for
restoration. When he left here to join his post,
he took with him female servant. One Of the
charges preferred against him since the court
martial is OF brutally beating her, The friends
of Armes are making an effort to induce the
President to disapprove the sentence of the
court. They will not, it is understood, succeed.
They say that when Armes went back into the
service his brother officers openly threatened to
get him out again, and that the charges against
him were preferred and acted on with this view
alone.
THE CASE OF 1T. CLARKE.
Another case of a restored officer who is in
trouble is Second Lieutenant Edwin X. Clarke
OF the 10th infantry. He was dismissed the SER
vice July 18th, 1876. He is Massachusetts man.
The delegation from that state got bill through
on June 9tR iss CHARGES @ have been n Sre
against him of various misdemeanors and a
court-martial has found him guilty, with re-
commendation for dismissal The President has
not acted On the findings and sentence Of the
court.

respited f1r the last time until April 3D. sent on
.rhursday for Rev. DR.. J. E. Rankin, OF the Con-
gregational church, In which denomination ne
was brought up, and had long interview with
him. Stone has been receiving visits from Rev.
Mr.. Gibbons, colored Baptist minister of
South washington, from time to time for some
months past and expressed himself some time
since as prepared for the worst. Since he
learned Thursday that he would be respited
only until April ID he has spent some time in
writing to his friends, particularly to those who
have assisted him in his trial. He states now
thai although he has little hope Of future Ex-
ecutive clemency, yet he intends to write once
more to the President. In sentencing Stone,
Judge Hagner used the term as applied to the
jail, ''taken from hence to the place of execu-
tion." thereby making it obligatory for the ex-
ecution to take place outside the walls This
fact was brought to the notice Of the court
because the building is not enclosed, and it
was suggested that the execution could take
place In one Of the corridors or in the rOtunda,
and If In the latter the prisoners could be locked
back in the cells, so that they would be unable
to witness 1t. The court declined to make any
order in the matter, but it is likely that In fu-
ture the sentences will be so worded that the
executions can take place in the jail building.
