ODD FELLOWS NOTES. The annual session of
the Grand Lodge of Maine, |. o. o. +. was held at
Portland last week. 4 list of the officers elected
and other matter may be found in our Maine news
column. An act was passed creating memorial
day for the purpose Of decorating with flowers the
graves of deceased Odd Fellows. This is in imta
ton of the Grand Army OF the Republic, and is
beautiful custom. The Grand Jurisdiction of
Ontario the first to adopt the custom and
ritual has been made 20 aid the services. Next
spring the Grand Master will issue proclamation
to the lodges in this jurisdiction, and all who wish
to do so can observe the day which he may appoint.
We think Maine is the second grand jurisdiction to
adopt this custom. In future Subordinate and
Rebekah Degree lodges can publicly install their
officers without dispensation from the Grand
Master. Heretofore lodges were granted dispen-
satons to appear in public, particularly on Memo
rial day when asked to do 50 by the municipal
authorities. In future dispensaton will be
granted for a lodge to appear in public except for
Odd Fellow purposes. In future no charter will
be granted for a encampment unless petition
ed for by at least thirty-fve members. The next
session of the Grand Lodge and Encampment will
be held in August of next year with Cumberland
lodge at Bridgton. Maine now has lO9 lodges and
IA. 1857 members There were paid out last year for
sick ness, and charitable purposes the sum OF
s46, 1886 There are in the state As encampments
and 1872 members. Total amount paid for relief

Since the withdrawal by the Northwestern
of its Sioux City s. Pacific and EIkhorn, Free
mont 81 Missouri Valley business from the
Western Trunk Line association (tripartite
combiuation) the pool has been in dormant
state. The Rock Island, Milwaukee & st.
Paul, and Wabash claimed that by that action
the Northwestern ceased to be a member of
the association, while the latter claimed to be
still Z member as far as its business east of
the Missouri river from Council Bluffs was
concerned. The Union Pacific, also a mem
ber of the association, remained neutral in
this contest and allowed both sides TO issue
tariffs over its road. Commissioner Vining
refused to act for either on the ground that
the Northwestern could not be properly con-
sidered out of the pool until proper action in
accordance with the agreement had been
taken. Tnis state of affairs, if allowed to
continue much longer, will cause another
war on Nebraska rates, as the complications
between the Nebraska roads are getting more
IMPLICATED every day. 1t being impossible
To make new agreement, efforts are now
being made To bring about meeting of the
managers OF the various lines In the assecia-
ton and take proper action regarding the
Northwestern's withdrawal of its Sioux City

Wabash, Rock Island, and Milwaukee, & St.

from the association and then compel the
Union Pacific to cease to interchange busi-
ness with the Northwestern.

New YORK, Jan. 24-The New York mar
ket opened 149$G lower, with Lackawanu
and Northwestern in the lead. The bui!
movement inaugurated yesterday received a
set back this morning owing to the disheart-
ening effect Of the reduction in west-bound
freights from New York by the trunk lines.
The announcement Of this reduction caused
the London stock market 10 decline EQlc
and took the courage out Of a good many
home bulls. Accordingly, there was very
little doing during the forenoon, the market
ductuating only H@15 each way. a good
many were inclined to believe In better
things, and were 1t not for the untoward
events which are constantly happening, some
of these better things might be realized. IL
is undoubtedly true that prices are low as
compared with former years, but whether
they are any lower than the gen
eral situation warrants is another
question worth considering. Deacon
Wuite says he is buying Northwestern be-
cause he believes in the property and the
same is true Of many others doubtless. The
boom started in Lackawanna yesterday
did not flourish so merrily to-day. All sorts
of stories about directors and insiders buy
ing we're afoa;, but direct dispatches from
PEiiuGeiphia said the coal situation was about
as bad as It could be. It is said the coal
companies are to agree on a mutual plan Of
operations next Monday, leaving the Penn
sylvaula company to do as it sees ht, bu; this
means nothing so long as the price of coal
continues depressed. The Gould party said
they were glad of the freight reduction and
thought it wise step, but, considering tie
many discouragiug stories, the mar@et
shows strength behind It. Deia-
ware 81 Lackawanna led in ac-
tivlty at from s3}l@S5. St. Paul sold Of

crease OF $7l 900. A report that Pacific
