Special to the indianapolis Journal.
NATION, ILL.,, JAN "a Two hundred loco
motive engineers were in this city to-day, many
of them having come from distance to greet
their grand chief, P. M. Arthur. public meet.
ing was held in Dole's Operahall, at which the
mayor. w. B. Dunlap delivered speech of
welcome and the chief, P. NJ. Arthur, spoke en-
tertainingly for an hour the aims and meth
DDS of the Brotherhood. A lodge meeting was
held directly afterwards, at which. it is sup
posed, the Nation division of the Brotherhood
laid before the grand chief their grievances
against the Indianapolis e. st. Louis railway.
Some three years ago a committee of FIVE engi-
neers went to the management to reason with
them about an obnoxious order. Their COM
munication was not entertained, and the Eve en-
gineers were at once discharged for presuming
to address the management. Since that time
engineers have been dismissed for trivial and
unavoidable accidents, or suspendended on
slight provocation. 1t is in the interest of these
five old engineers. and to secure more reasona-
BILE regulations governing discharge and suspen-
sions. that the grand chief met the Brotherhood
here to day. Their case was laid before him, and
his past success an arbitrator between engi-
neers and railroad authorities assures them that
oday's gathering will be of some effect in set
ting the grievances and restoring good feeling
all around

Court convened at 10 a. m. yesterday.
The cross examination of Mrs. McBlrin
was continued by Mr.. Stoll. She was ex-
amined in regard to what she had sworn
to previously. Mr.. Stoll, having pro-
cured the affidavit which Mrs. McBlain
made in Philadelphia for the purpose Of
sending it to San Francisco to reopen di
vorce proceedings in that city, questioned
her as to statements made therein, her
answers being far different from those
which appeared in the affidavit; she also
wore that the report of her having been
seen in company with a Philadelphia
harbor policeman about midnight one
night, WAS untrue and without founda-
ton, and denied having ever read any
letter written by her father for her in
which Mr.. McBlain was called a scoun-
drel or an outcast.
John Rafferty,, father of Mrs. McBlain,
was next examined. His testimony went
to show that all drafts which were sent by
McBlain to his wife were endorsed by
himself signing his own and his daugh-
ter's name; also that he wrote all letters
from his daughter to McBlain, writing as
she dictated and then letting her read
them over.
Public opinion is fas. changing in favor
of McBlain, as testimony shows hat he
has supplied her with money, etc, as he
was expected to do.
Court adjourned at 2 p. m, to meet at
10 o'clock this morning.

Witness then asked him what was the
matter. Stevenson said:
You told us before we started not to
get any whisky, but 'Frenchy' wouldn't
come away without it. Then we all
drank some on the road, and got along all
right until we got to Otto. Then
'Frenchy' became awful mean. l started

After talking with Stevenson a while
l accompanied him to town. as he de-
sired to give himself up.
The case was then given to the Jury,
who returned a verdict about S o'clock
yesterday afternoon to the effect that the
deceased came to his death from a pistol
wound, administered at the hands Of
VIM. Stevenson Tor Stevensl, and that
the same was done in a cruel and inhu-
man manner.

half way between Rawlins and Rock
Springs. At hat point there is a water
tank, at which nearly every train stops.
Last night a freight train was standing
there. the fireman of the engine being out
on the tender. holding the pipe with both
hands. Suddenly the engine and tender
parted from the train and he was thrown
fat on the track ahead of the moving
freight cars. With great presence Of

seven or eight cars passed over him before
the train could be Slapped. when to the
astonishment OF all, he crept out unhurt

New Townships.

Several gentlemen from different pOr-
tions of the county were here last Sat
urday and held an Informal discussion
or the Importance Of having the county
rediyided INTO municipal townships. 1t
was the general expression that there
should be at least six more townships
set off. 1t is necessary, however, that
petitions be prepared and published.
asking for the new townships, describ-
ing the territory TO be embraced, ninety
days before the meeting OF the board.
and this will likely throw the matter
over until the July meeting of the
board. The petition must be published
three weeks. There is no question but
there should be more municipal town
ships in the county. The people de-
mand them and their petitions should
he granted if reasonable. HazeltOn,
Sharon, Elm Mills, Deerhead, Mingona
and dEtna should be in a separate
township. The people in the northeast
part of the county want township and
should have one. But it will be neces-
sary for these places to get up their pc
titiOns before the board is allowed by
law to change the boundaries of the
present townships.
And in arranging the new townships
some attention should be paid to the
commissioner districts, for the county
must be re-districted soon. Now, one
commissioner represents three-fourthS
of the wealth and population of the
county. There VIII be no township
elections in February, as formerly. the
present officers holding over, and so
there need not he great haste about the
new townships; but the matter should
be discussed and put in shape by next
.July

Masonic Installation.

The Masonic fraternity of Medicine
Lodge have reason to be proud of the
public installation of the newly elected
officers of Delta Lodge No. AZ, and the
festivities that followed on the evening
of the 18th of December, last Monday.
The lodge and visiting brethren assem-
bled at Masonic hall ut O'Clock and
with the old officers, headed by DR.. l..
W. Stout, as grand marshal, at 7o'clock
proceeded to Sherlock hall where the
installation took place, with Past Mas
ter III. Blickhahn as installing officer.
The proceedings were impressive and
were witnessed by a large concourse
of people, friends of this noble order.
The following are the officers in
stalled: z. A. Simmons, W. NJ; n.
Sherlock, 5. w; Ambrose Allen, J.W.;
r. Woodward. treasurer; c. T. Free
man, secretary; +. L. Noble, senior
deacon; c. L. Rigg, Junior deacon; III.
NJ. Ingraham, senior steward: Wayne
Mckinney. junior steward; w. b. Nor
ris, tyler.
After the installation, the lodge pro-
ceeded To their hall, while the families
and friends of the members repaired to
the banquet ball, where a magnificent
feast had been spread. and on the return
of the members, the spread was attacked
in due and ample form.
The supper had been prepared by the
ladies of the Order of Eastern Star, and
they certainly should feel proud of their
labors in behalf of their brothers.
After supper the most successful
dance in the history of Medicine Lodge
was inaugurated in Sherlock hall. II
was under the direction of the Masons
and throughout was pleasant and en-
joyable. The floor had been oiled and
waxed; the room was tastefully deco
rated, and the Peerless orchestra fur
nished its sweetest music. This enjoy.
ment was not carried into intemperanct
or excess, for at one hour past low
twelve, the happy throng was called tc
refreshment and sleep.
After the installation ceremonies
Rev. w. b. Gillian, who stands high in
Masonry, delivered a most pleasant
eloquent and instructive address, the
substance of which is given herewith:

This, then, in effect, again unsettles
the questions of corners in the eastern
part of this county. Many of the old
corners had become Obliterated and a
re-survey was petitioned for. The work,

Ladies, the principles of Free Masonry
are your guarantee of protection and
respect. And certain it is, that if the
widows prayer and the orphans cry
are not heard and needed by every
Mason, it is not because he is ignorant
of those duties which he, in the most
solemn manner, has covenanted to per-
form.
To the retiring officers let me say:
Your reward for faithfulness in the
Offices which you this evening vacate to
others is the consciousness of having
performed your duties well. You will
have tonight assumed the badges of
the various Offices to which you have
lately been elected in your lodge, are
bound by honor. gratitude and duty to
be faithful to every trust and to exem-
piify ty precept and example the tenets
of the order which has thus honored
you.
Brethren, the hour-glass is one of
your emblems. 1t is the emblem of
time. Behold how swiftly the sands
run and how swiftly our lives are pass
ing away Yes, passing away The
scythe is an emblem of death. Behold
what havoc it makes among the nations
every year! You are also, as Masons,
familiar with three steps. representing
youth, manhood and old age. Yea,
youth with its bright visions of the
future; then manhood, with its
solemn, earnest work. Then old age.
with its trembling limbs, dim vision,
worn-out brain, feeble resolution, and
vanished memoryl But behold another
emblem-a little sprig of cassia, the
emblem Of eternal youth. of immor-
tally and eternal life. And | hear a
voice far sweeter than the music of
angels, saying to you and me, BE thou
faithful unto death. and l will give
thee crown of life -
