CERNEAU RITE MASONRY.
Past Grand Commander Vim. H. Peckham De-
SertS It's Ranks, and Gives His Reasons.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
NEW YORK, Aug. 20.-Masonic circles
were greatly agitated to-day by the resig-
nation of Past Grand Commander VIM. III.
Peckham, Thirty-third degree. from men,
bership in Cerneau Consistory, No. 1, Thir-
ty-second degree, this city, thus severing
his connection with this alleged body of
Scottish Rite Masonry. This action adds
new interest to the bitter feud between the
adherents of Albert Pike and those of Fer
dinand Gorgas. Every adherent of the lat
ter is. by recent Masonic proclamation, in
danger of expulsion from the Blue Lodge of
Masonry. and the resignation of Mr..
Pcckham will, it is said by prominent
masons, be followed by many others. Mr..
Peckham was for many years prominent
among the Cerneau rite masons, and for
several years held the highest rank in the
body, that of Grand Commander for the
United States. Two years ago he resigned
and was succeeded by L. S. G.. GOrgaS. of
Baltimore. Mr.. Peckham's present resg-
nation, as he states in an open letter ad-
dressed to the Masonic Fraternity through
ont the World is because of the affili-
alton of the supreme council of the
body with the Grand Orient of France,
which does not recognize the exist
ence of personal God, whereas
Mr. Peckham states, such recognition is
the very cornerstone of true Masonry. Mr..
Peckham has been Mason forty years.
The affiliation referred to consisted In Mr..
Gorgas visiting and meeting with the
council OF the order" of the Grand Orient
while on q visit to Paris in 1888. This cOun-
cil it has been claimed, is distinct body
from that of the Grand Orient, but Mr..
Peckham gives the names of the members
of the Grand Orient and shows that the
council is made up from them. Consequent
ly. he says, the council was under the ban
of non-Masonic intercourse. In view of
these facts he feels constrained to sever his
connection with Cerneau Rite Masonry.

The Day at Deer Park.

DEER PARK, Nd, Aug. 2O--President
harrison conversed pleasantly to-day with
a areporter about his trip west. When asked
now he stood his ordeal of constant hand
shaking. he remarked that he found by
holding his hand rather firm in the grasp of
each, perhaps only one man in hundred
intentionally gave him pain. The Presi-
dent expressed some solicitude about the
sickness of his friend and former
partner, Attorney-general Miller. and
putting on his hat, started
out to pay him call, when the supposed
lnEaild himself was announced. Mr.. Miller
said that he had slight attack. last night,
of neuralgia, which simple remedy had en-
tlrely conquered. The Acknowledgement
Eas received a detailed account of the
shooting of Judge Terry, which agrees in
every important detail with the generally
puoilshed accounts. Having considered
!he two kilograms, to-day from California
IN relation to the same affair. he has sent
word to District Attorney Carey to use his
own discretion in aiding the defense of
Marshal Nagle, who did the shooting.

Anthony Walsh, in Memphis Avalanche.
Being asked what effect the Dortch
bill would have on the vote of Shelby
county, Mr.. Walsh said:
THAT is merely matter. of guess
work. Under the bill man must have
intelligence enough to read his ticket in
order 10 vote it. This l know will cut
down the democratic vote unless there | S
an increase from immigration. Perhaps
twenty per cent, would not be too large
an estimate. But it would affect the re-
publican vote more seriously even than
this.

years 1t would cut 1t down to about 90
per cent Of what 1t now is. Then the
percentage of votes cast will increase
until 1t gets to be, say about 60 per cent
OF what It is now, or Of the total republi.
