ANCIENT ORDER UNITED
Facts .S1 Figures Concerning
this ElOurishing Order.

Nashville Banner. al
A large and Hourishiug Lodge OF
this Order was instituted on tho l4th
inst, at Wartrace, by Grand Master
John G. Kennedy, with ifty-four char
ter members, The name OF the new
Lodge is Excelsior, No. CD.
The Grand Master has appointed
the following Deputies;
S. S. Garrett and George Il. Rudi-
sill, Memphis; Thomas r. Read,
Carthage; w. II. Muse, Bellbuokle,
and d. b. Gally, Nashville.
Captain j. L. Martin, OF Enterprise
Lodge, No, %, has been appointed a
member of the Grand Lodge Finance
Committee, to fill the vacancy coca
stoned by the death of r. l.. Ca.
ruthers, jr.
Mr.. Caruthers was one Of the most
active influential, and useful mem
bers oftho A. 0. u. w. in the United
States. He was a ready fluent speak
or, and has done effective service for
the order on many occasions. During
the terrible yellow fever epidemic of
1878, that killed so many members,
and caused a feeling Of dismay aud
gloom throughout the entire State,
his gentleman was busily engaged in
visiting the lodges in Nashville, and
by personal app ais assured the mem
bers that all would be well. His
kind, genial smile, the index ola no
bic heart and mind will be sadly
missed in the ranks of the A. 0. u.
w. as they will not soon sec his like
again.
The average age of deaths in the A.
o. u. w. during 1880 was Al years, 6
months and z days. Average dura-
tion of membership, 2 years and s
months.
During the recent meeting Of the
Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows, there
we're noticed many prominent mem
bers of the A. 0. U. W. B. NJ.
Doxey, of Kenton, d. w. Lewis, of
Knoxville, and j. 7. Barley, of
Yorkville. were among the number.
New lodges will be instituted at
Beech Grove and Huntsville next
week. The members arc busily and
industriously at work all yer the
State, and the result is the largest
accessions to membership than ever
was known before.

A Western detective kept for many
years a scrap book, in which he pasted
accounts Of crimes in which rewards
were offered for the arrest Of the
criminals. Turning over the leaves of
this volume a short time ago, he
checked off all the cases in which the
fugitives had been caught, and found
that a surprising number were still at
large. Then he reasoned that Lead
vile was a likely place for such
wanderers to drift into, and resolved
to go there. He ffequented the public
resorts of that city for weeks, looking
for men answering to the books
numerous descriptions. One night he
observed that q registerer in a bar.
room had a peculiarly Aattened finger.
That was a mark of John OFT, who
committed a murder at TazeWell, ILL.,,
in 1869, and for whose arrest an offer
Of $4,000 still held good. Otis identity
was fully established, andthe detective
has been paid the money.
