Holder Hires. of Richmond, Va. Capt
Samnel II. Hines was born in Mileon.
Caswell county, n. C, in January 1886
At the time of his death he lacked but
few days Of being 80 years of age. He
entered the Confederate service and rose
to the rank Of captain, passing through
the hardships Of the entire war and re-
turning home without q blsmisb on his
name. He was engaged in mercantile
pursuits in Richmond when the disaster
occurred in which be lost his life.
This disaster was the burning of the
SpoitswoOd hotel, on the morning Of De.
cembsr %, 1870. He had himself fought
his way through suffocatiug smoke and
flames to place Of safety, when ne re-
membered a brother Knight who wss
sleeping in an upper room exposed to dan
ger and death, and, despite remoDstrances
and entresty, rushed beck through the
scorchirg flames to cave his friend. "He
sacrificed his life On the altar OF friend
ship" Pythias could have done no more.
Capt. Hines was a member Of Old Dimin-
ion lodge No. 4, Richmond, Va.

An Important and Interesting Decision
Rendered In Pennsylvania

An Important and Interesting Decision
Rendered In Pennsylvania
Chief Justice Sharswood. of Pittsburg,
lately rendered an interesting decision in
the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. Chas.
F. Lang, deceased, in his will left bens-
ticiary certificate 10 a different person
than the one named in the certificate is-
sued by the lodge. The rules of the order
forbid the change, except upon notice and
payment of fifty cents. This he omitted,
aud Judge Hawkins of the Orphans
Court decided that be had no ppwer to
change benefciaries, except in strict CON
Pliance with the rules of the order. The
case having been appealed 10 the Supreme
Court Justice SharswOOd, according 10
the protector, said
The appropriation by Lang of moneys
payable 1T hie death on beneficiary CERT
ficste could be revoked by him only in the
mode appointed in the regulations adopted
by the Grand Lodge Of the Ancient Order
of American WOTkmen. They had the I'M
questioned right TO make such regulation.
No doubt 1t was adopted with view to
prevent the lodge from being involved in
litigation with outside claimants. If
Lang could revoke it by will, there is no
reason why h could not do 80 by parole
If it was his so absolutely that he could
dispose oft by will, 1t would undoubtedly
be liable for his debts. One object of this
resolution was to prevent this, and to Sc
cure it to such person ss he might desire.
We think the decree Of the Orphaus' Court
was right. Dscree affirmed and appeal
dismissed at the cost OF appellant"

Modern Martyrs Who Belonged to the
Order.
There have been recorded in the history
Of the order two cases, at least, of heroic
devotion 70 the principles of the order, not
excelled by the heroism of Pythias himself.
Oae of These was that of Peter Woodland,
to whom a monument was erected in 1888,
at Jersey City, n. J.
lie brought about his own death to save
the lives of eight men who, favored by for
tune, succeeded in reaching the air lock in
the Hudson river tunnel before the iron
plates and masonry crashed in and forced
10 and held the door of the air lock on the
tunnel side.
There were twenty-eight men caught al
together, and while they fought desperate
" for life, there was but one cool head
among them-one man who saw that the
eight men in the air lock, at least, could
be saved The compressed air confined in
the lock held the door, and the efforts of
the eight oOald not open it. There seemed
to bs nothing left for them bat death. But
Peter Woodland gave an order that was
heard above the walls of anguish: Break
out the bulls eyep The order was calm
ly given and the bulls eye crashed out on
the shaft side, and the compressed air,
held by the rush of water as it poured
through the bulkbesd and loft filing on
one side and the door of the air lock on the
other, was allowed TO e'cspe. The resist
anCe gone, the door was easily opened.
The eight men dashed mp the steps of
the shaft and we're saved, but the release
Of the compressed air, which had resisted
the flow OF water, let it in with a rush,
and Peter Woodland and his twenty men
speedily persisted. Woodland was q men,
Der of Hector lodge, Philadelphia. Bro.
Woodland was horn in Copenhagen, Den
mark, Dec. II. 1S4s, and at the time Of
b death was but 30 years old.

FIatterlne Offer.

The nailers of Bellaire have received a
very tempting offer from an inland town
of Ohio to come there and operate a nail
factory that has been idle for some time.
The proposition is bona fide, and comes to
"Bellaire nal rs" as though they were
separate and spArt from all others. The
proposition involves the expenditure of no
money on the part Of the nailers unless
they themselves elect tn lease the works.
The proposition as it now now stands looks
very tempting, and committee will be
appointed early next week to 20 to the
town to investigate the matter.

SHORT HISTORY OF ALPHA.
Alpha Lodge, 424, X. of H., has been
organized but eleven years, yet in that
time it has done a large amount of good by
relieving the necessities of many OF its
members and their families, also by as
sisting in providing a home for the widows
and orphans of its deceased members,
many of whom if left to charity would not
have had a roof over their heads, but for
the timely assistance provided by the X.
OF II. During the past years since its Or
ganizltiOn seventeen brethren have passed
away, and the family of each deceased
brother has received s., 600, total OF S34,
600; yet the members have only been as
sessed in Alpha Lodge during that time
$50, 416 80, the balance OF the amolnt rec
essary having besn provided by lodges out
side of this city, and therefore shows the
mutual fraternal interest of the members OF
the entire fraternity in all lodges in this
great country when aid Is required.

The Mcpow Jury

Quite a number of the northern news
papers have commented on the fact that
seven Of the jurors in the Mellow murder
case, now on trial in Charleston, are col
ored. The New York Herald says: "These
black jurors are there by law, in the enjoy
ment of an equal right with their white
colleagues. But it is hardly less significant
TO note that they are there also by choice of
the prisoner. For he deliberately accepted
them in preference to white jurors. when
he might have rejected them by peremptory
cha lenge"
Why did the prisoner accept them in
preference to white menq 1t cannot be
said that he considered them to be more in
telligent than white men. On the contrary,
the conclusion is irresistible that he re-
garded them as less intelligent.
The party to trial who has good case
always wants the most intelligent jurors
that can be obtained, and the party who
has bad case wants the most ignorant
jurors. The reason is that Ignorant jurors
can be more readily misled than intelligent
ones.
1t is question whether justice in the

jurors They may intend to do what is
right, but in many instances they are not
capable Of discerning the right They can
not comp ehend either the law OF the facts.
A shrewd la @yer can easily confuse them,
and control them through their prejudices.
VI course there are plenty of white men
who are not fit to do jury duty, but that
fact is not an argument in favor of colored
jurors.
Undoubtedly there are colored men in
nearly every community in the south VIII o
make very good jurors, but the colored
juror as general thing. in cases which re-
quire ability to sift evidence and under
stand the lay, is calculated to bring YER
diets of juries into disrepute. The admin
lstration of justice in the south has not been
improved by placing the colored man in
the jury box.
