The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1883-01-27

I A. 0. y. w, last Tuesday evening,
! Brothers u. A. Prudhomme aud f. p.
| Schiller were selected as Representatives.
to the Grand Lodge of the order which
is to assemble in Houston, Texas, on the
9th of February. Brother David Israel,
who is also a Representative, by virtue
of his position as Past Master Workman,
was requested to visit Houston at the
time mentioned and represent the DON
aldsonyilie Lodge at the session of the
Grand Lodge, and he consented to under
| take the mission. Messrs Prudhomme
and Schiller have given their proxies to
| Mr.. Israel, and the latter was authorized
to cast the three votes to which Lee
Lodge will be entitled III the delibera-
tions of the Grand body. Mr.. Israel will
leave here next Saturday, en- route to
Houston by way Of New Orleans. At
present the Louisiana lodges of the A. o.
U. ". are working under the jurisdiction
Of the Grand Lodge Of Texas, but it is
expected that steps will be taken to Or
ganize a separate Grand Lodge for Lou
isiana and when this is accomplished it
will undoubtedly give the order consid-
cradle impetus in this State.
Messrs. Hunt, Larue and Moran, COM
rrising the noted trio Of singers who
travel through the country sounding the
virtues Of Wizard Oil and entertaining
the public with open-air vocal and in
strumental concerts, arrived here by tho
steamer Cannon last Monday night and
took quarters at tho Lee Hotel. Each
evening since their advent they have APP
peared on the common in front of the
hotel in their beautiful carriage, drawn
by four pretty little milk-white mules,
and have delighted large Audiences of
people with their beautiful music and
splendid singing. DR.. Hunts effective
extemporaneous Wizard Oil speeches
have formed an interesting feature of
these enjoyable entertainments, and we
hope his eloquence has been rewarded by
satisfactory influx Of dollars. The
warb)ers change their programme night
ly, and there is a general ontpouring Of
our population to hear them. They give
their last concert this evening and leave
tomorrow for Napoleonville. we wish
them abundant enjoyment and success,
wherever they go.
hr. Fred. Rogge has leased his Billet
sen property, on Lafourche street in this
town, to Mr. James d. Edwards of New
Orleans, the well known machinist, who
proposes to establish branch of his ex-
tensive works at this place. Mr Edwards
visited Dona,dsonville this week and
closed the arrangement with Mr.. Rogee,
purchasing the tools and apparatus used
by the late Mr.. Billeisen in his business
as copper, tin and iron worker, and
securing lease of tho lot aud buildings
young man who has been connected
with Mr.. Edwards New Orleans eatab-
lishment for Il number Of years will be
placed in charge Of the Donaldsouville
branch shop, thus insuriug as good work
here as is done in the city. Air. Rogge
has reserved the privilege of putting
second story on the Billeisen shop build
ing, hence the lease to Mr.. Edwards will
not interfere with the erection of che
lodge rooms which are to be provided
for the accommodation Of tta Donalt1sor-
vile lodges Of the Knish of Honor and
Ancient Order Of uritod Workn1en.
