CLEVELAND, May 1.-THE auditors Of the
various counties in Ohio through which
the Cleveland & Pittsburgh railroad passes,
met in County Auditor Bauders office
yesterday afternoon 10 'appraise the road
for purpose OF taxation. Auditor Bauder,
Of Cuyahogs county, acted as chairman and
auditor, and @. @. Baker! Of Columbiana
county, was elected Secretary. Auditor
W. N. Cofland, Of Belmont county, moved
to fix the value, OF the main line and
branches Of the road at sl7,OOo per mile.
This is the way in which the road has been
appraised ever since 1861, the value OF the
main line and Of the smaller branches be-
ing fixed at uniform rate, thus appor-
tioning the values oftn whole road among
the different counties in manner that
insures for the counties through which the
branches pass an equal valuation per mile
for their duplicates rs the counties through
which the more valuable main line passes.
Auditor Baker moved to amend Mr.. Golf.
lands motion by fixing first the value OF
the main line at ST., 900 per mile between
Cleveland and the State line. This pro.
voked the liyeliest opposition from the
Auditors Of Belmont and other
counties through which the main line
does not pass, aud was discussed hotly for
over two hours, but finally adopted. After
another long discussion It was reconsdered
on motion Of Auditor Sherer, Of Mahoning
county, who then moved that the value Of
the main line be fixed at sc, 900 per mile
from Cleveland to the State line; that Of the
river division at $4,000 per mile. This
motion was adopted. This places. 5000
additional for each mile on the duplicates
Of the counties through which the main
line passes, giving Cuyahoga an increase
Of about $4,000, Columbiana an increase Of
nearly Sl25,0O0, and also increasing the
amount Of property liable to taxation in

Yesterday afternoon the rim Of the big
driving wheel Of the south engine at the
Water Works let go, and It was found that
its days for usefulness were over. This
wheel cracked about six years ago, when
Mr.. Cummings was Superintendent. At
that time 1t was patched up temporarily
and q new rim cast at SweOney's. The
patch continuedto hold, however, and there
never was any occasion to call for the
new rim until yesterday. AS ssoon as the
break occurred Supt Riddle put force of
men 10 work getting the new rim In con-
dition and it will be on and the engine
running by Monday morning.
Citizens are requested not 10 waste any
water to-day. Now that the warm season
has arrived it takes the steady work OF the
three engines to keep the basin full during
the day. This Is the first break Of any
consequence that has occurred at the
works for several months.

PHILADELPHIA, May 1.-THE filing Of 9
bill in equity by several Masonic lodges
against others to recover possession oi the
African Masonic Hall, on Eleventh street,
near Lombard, brings TO light some inter.
esting facts regarding the Order among the
colored citizens. There are two distinct
Grand Lodges in this State, and breach
which occurred in 1910 has never been
healed. A plan for harmonizing the diff
erences between the two organizations was
considered last year, and It was agreed by
both parties to submit the matter to a vote
Of the subordinate lodges working under
the waralts Of the two Grand Lodges, one
ot which Is styled the Most Worshipiul
Grand Lodge Of Free and Accepted Ma.
sons, and the other last year was known
by the title Of the Most Worshipiul Grand
Lodge Of Free and Accepted Ancient York
Masons, but which has recently adopted
the same title as its competitor. OF the int
named Charles Kelly, OF Williamsport, is
NJ w. Grand Master, and OF the latter w.
II. Miller Is the head. The convention
was fixed for the Goth OF December last;
but at that time responses bad not been re.
ceived from sufficient number OF the
lodges of the Order headed by Mr.. Kelly to
warrant coalition; 50 an edict was Issued
by the Grand Master iorbiddipg the dele
gates participating in the convention. De.
spite this edict q number OF the
members OF the Order attended the meet
taft nd 20 l.
these was majority Of the fraters Of Lodges
Nos. 8 and 8. A portion Of each OF these
lodges, however, refused to leave the iuris.
diction Of the parent body. The next day
(St. Johns Day. the new officers OF the Mil
Ter Grand Lodge were installed. As re-.
suit OF this action the trustees OF the
Masonic Hall refused 10 allow the seceders,
as they termed them, 10 hold their meet.
ings in the building. The structure is
owned jointly by Lodges Nos. 2, 8, 4, 5, o,
II, "a, q and the Kelly Grand Lodge. 1t
was stated yesterday that the deed provides
that in case any one of these lodges should
become defunct that the ownership shall
be vested in those which still live.
Under this and legal opinions obtained
upon 1t the trustees would not per.
init the members OF Lodges Nos. 8 and 0,
who went out, TO have their ceremonies in
the hall. Then these lodges elected Messrs.
Alexander r. Lively and Fielding Ford as
Trustees to replace Messrs. Hans Shsdd
and Thomas W. Altman, who had been
chosen Trustees and are now serving.
These men, with George W. Wooliord,
Alfred :. Cassly and Charles B. Colly,
made a majority OF the Board Of Trustees.
Failing to obtain the use OF the lodge
rooms, the bill in equity was fled sgainst
those named above TO make them show
cause for interfering with the rights OF
those members who desire the use Of the
hall. The case, has excited considerable
interest among the brethren. @ sid
