Of Malta on last night before the largest

The ceremonies incident TO the confer
ring Of these orders OF Malta, elaborate, diff
cult, very impressive and beautiful, are, In
order TO make them thoroughly effective.
attended with so much of expensive prep
aration that they are rarely attempted in
their ample form. For over decade the
grand encampmcnt OF the United States
in the consideration OF this work has had
upon It's committee the finest aud most in
tcllectual ritualsts In the ordcr-men with
all the ancient rituals in their hands, and
thorough knowledge Of the internal work
Of the famous Maltese knights. Tho re-
suit OF this long and protracted study, en-
bodied In the magnificent ritual promul-
gated by the grand encampment, made tho
boldest hesitate, and II was only until re-
Gently that tho jealous knights Of Cincin-
natl, who have large and admirably ar
ranged Masonic temple, conferred these
orders In full for tho first time In tho
United States
IL can, then, bo well understood that tho
intimation that Memphis Commandery
No. 4, under the leadership Of 40 eminent
ritualsl as Sir Bun +. Price, IT, eminent
commander, would work these orders in
the form just promulgated, attracted the
attention OF the order far and wide, aud
the result was that Notwithstanding tho
heat OF the weather the beautiful asylum
was crowded 10 its utmost capacity with
Templas, many Of whom came travelling

AGREAT MERCHANT.
The ortatnatOr Of Net Spot Cash.

From the Neg York Record Sept. 1Oh.
The telegraph report published in the
morning papers of New York city on We'd
nesday last, that Mr.. Charles Broadway
Rouss. the great auction and notion merchant
of 466 and 46S Broadway, had contributed
his check for 81 900, to the steamer fund" of
the Friendship Fire Company of Winches-
ter, Va, and that he is millionaire and had
once been a poor lad in old Winchester town,
induced our reporter to take look into his
establishment. 1t is certainly grand one
allIthe floors, if spread out on level, would
cover five acre field, and each floor heavily
weighted with goods. That Mr.. Rouss,
medium sized man of fifty, Vigorous and run
ming over with nervous energy, should have
accomplished all this success during the past
eleven years as we were informed, seems not
so very wonderful, and yet when we learned
that his capital at beginning was his expert
ence only and $4,000 or so in debt besides,
the reporter began to look more closely
around for some key that would unlock the
mystery of his banana find. He found it
simply in the tactics which the late A. T.
Stewart practiced in the purchase Of goods
at auction, and forced private sales, much be-
low their quoted market value for cash, be-
fore he himself became a manufacturer.
This fact and the price Mr.. Rouss paid, with
five per cent. added as his profit, he heralds
to the world through a monthly circular
called the AUCTION Trade Journal BY this
means his business has extended to all parts
of the United States, and always for cash.
The following placards prominently placed
at the door and in various parts Of the store
and counting room and entrance to elevator
indicate individual characteristics both
striking and original. They show that he
is possessed of a good heart as well as of bus
mess ability, tact and good sense. His refer
ences to his old employee Opie are genuine
and very pathetic

HENRY OPPENHEIN.

The fearless. tireless, little veteran of 23l
and SOL and 800 and 81 and 46S dating away
back No. 373 in 1870 passed from time to
eternity last night at half past ten. He will
be buried from the store at 2 on Sunday and
to the entire store the leader extends an invi-
tation to ride out with him to his last resting
spot Many the day twenty -four hours long,
many the battle, uncounted the plays. He
looked death square in the teeth with I'M
quiyering nerve and thought never of the
eternal morning.
All me How bitter these terrible trials
that tear friendship and affection to atoms
with unsparing and merciless severity. Poor
Dear Opie He stood at his post as long as
he was able to stand with fidelity and cour-
age that would command admiration from
ingratiude itself. Farewell my dear brave
true Opic Often have said come Opie, no
rest for the weary" but it is over now and
that impatient, persistent, loyal bundle Of
devotion, fidelity and toll, sleeps in perfect
rest. If that spark that works the mind
survives dissolution then he has greeted the
deathleSs, chivalrous veterans that have
dropped from the ranks in our march from
149 to 1865 Bob, Clint, Peter, ONO, Frank,
Lee-Yes Opie with a thousand unavailing
regrets, with unspoken prayers and hopes /
bid YOU an afectionate farewell forever.

Mr.. Jas. L. Randolph, the veteran con-
sulting civil engineer of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company, died suddenly
Monday evening at his home, near Jessup's,
on the Washington Branch Railroad. He
entered the engineering service of the COM
pauy when he was a youth, and his long
aud useful life was spent there. For many
years he was the chief engineer of construc-
ton, and had for a comparatively brief pc
Rod been the chief consulting engineer,
with his Office at Camden Station. Many
of the important railroad enterprises Of the
B. q O. were engineered by him. Half a
century ago, when Philip E. Thomas was
the president of the company, Mr.. Ran
dolph was employed in the engineering de-
partment. When Mr.. Randolph entered
the service of the Baltimore and Ohio Com
pauy, about 1896, the road extended to Har-
per's Ferry, and Mr. Randolph's first work
for the company was in the original location
and construction of the road beyond that
point. lie married a daughter of Col. John
