CENTRAL LABOR UNION.

There was an unusually large attend ance at the regular session of the Central Labor Union in Clarendon Hall last Sun day when therecording Secretary, James r. Archibald, called the meeting to order.
 George Cavanagh, of theAmalgamated Society of Carpenters, Was elected to fill the chair, which he did in the most approved style. George w. Middleton, also of the Carpenters, acted as Vice chairman.
 The minutes of the previous meeting were adopted as read.
 After some unimportant business had been transacted communication was read, ensuing from the Teutonia Labor Club. It's length was simply enormous and after the Secretary got through reading it everybody felt relieved. It was brimful of vituperations and insults against certain organizations of the C. l.. F. as well as against what was styled "the dictatorial authority of the com mittee on harmony of the C. l.. U." It was protest against their tinpl decision claiming that the C. L. U. had no rig Int to vest a committee with such unlimited power
 A After some skirmishing George w. Middleton moved that the communi cation, which was a protest virtually amounting to reconsideration of the report of the committee on harmony, be laid on the table.
 William Hotchkiss, of the Trunk makers, seconded the motion.
 A roll-caIl being demanded, the result showed that l9 organizations had voted in favor of the motion and 19 orga&iza- tiOns against 1t.
 Another rol-call was demanded, but before it was taken the letter in question was read once more upon the demand of some delegates
 The second reading was magical in it's consequences. Twenty-Five organizations voted in favor of tabling the odious document while only eighteen were not favor of doing so.
 The following organizations were in favor of having the matter tabled:
 Amalgamated Society of Carpenters, branches and ,; Eccentric Engineers, No. ; Foundrymen' s Association; Pat ternmakers' Association; Housesmit hs' Union; Granite Cutters National Union; Reliance Labor Club of Marble Cutters {; Operative Asphalt Layers; Mosaic and Encaustic Tleayers; HeXagon Labor Club; Enterprise Association of Steam filters; Theatrical Progressive Union i; Trunkmakers' Union; Belgian Payers 1; Progressive Painters, No. 1; Paper hangers; Tin and Sheet Iron Workers i; Progressive Narnishers; Coal ShoVellers' Union; Brckhandlers' Union; Buildiu z Material Drivers; Adams and Cy finder Pressmen; Journeymen GasIitters, and Hackmens Union.
 The following organizations voted the other way:
 Teutonia Labor Club of Walters; Mag nolia Labor Club of Walters; IIerber Association of Walters Aurora Associa- ton of Walters; Shareholders; Mystic Tie Association; Iron MouIders' Union l; Gotham Association; Fibre Association; Balfe Musical Club; Franklin Associa- tion; Journeymen Plumbers; Brewery Employes; United Order of American Carpenters, branches Nos. 1, 6 and 9 |; Progressive Labor Club and Edson As sOclatIOn
 In letter the Balfe Musical Club re- ouested the C. L. U. to reconsider its action in regard to the amalgamatiOn 1 question. Without comment the com munication was placed on file. | And that was the last of the oppo-

 Union.

At last Sundays meeting of the Brook lyn Central Labor Union a delegate of Cigarmakers' Union No. 132 presided, and delegate of the Horse-shoers' Union was Vice chairman.
 A committee of the Worlds Fair Conference of New York labor organi- cations was granted the floor, and the committee invited the c. l.. U. to join in the mass-meeting to take place under the auspices of the New York Confer cnce in Cooper Union on Thursday next The committee also requested the C. L, U. to take part in the memorial meeting to take place on Wednesday night in memory of William A. Horan.
 The Committee on Grievances re- ported on the complaint made by Horse- shoers Union No. ' against Philip Hogan, an employer of non unlon men, and the committee asked that the mat. ter be referred to the Executive Con- mttee. The request was complied with.
 The Label Committee not having had a meeting last week, a motion was passed directing the committee to discharge it's duties more carefully and regularly. | The Pic-NiG Committee, which had charge of the Labor Day picnic gave its report. The total receipts amounted to $7542 There were expenditures in the sum of $424.75, leaving surplus of | $32050. The report was referred to an auditing committee.
 The Committee on Preparing Resolu- | tions of Coincidence on the death of the late delegate and Secretary, James Bell, submitted a callgraphic copy of the resolutions engrossed by calligraph Jas. | ODonnell the same were approved and ordered to be delivered to the widow.

CLEANING TUx REsERvOIR.

One of the most interesting and instruc-
tive sights citizen of Wheeling can see is
the annual cleaning out of the reservoir on
the hill from which we get our water.
No one WHOM not there and did not see
the work, which took from midnight Friday
till noon yesterday, can form anything
like an adequate conception Of the con-
dition of the reservoir. Thick, Shiny mud
smelling like fever-breeding swamp COW
cred the bottom of the empty basin IN
some places to the depth OF about six feet.
About 100 men were at work at the
awful job In the upper basin it was
simply a work of excavation. 1t looked
as II the men were working on clay bank
that sometimes was higher than their heads,
the mud being almost dry at the
bottom. In the lower basin the mud was
not co thick and gangs of men up to their
knees in the shiny stuff were doing the
work with great scrapers.
AIS o'clock yesterday morning in the
red glare of the lamps and fires the reser-
vcir locked like it might be small section
OF Hades.
A rough guess at the amount of mud in
the reservoir places it at about 200 tons.
It lessened the capacity of the reservoir,
which has long been inadequate to the
wants of the city, at least one-third, and
probably more. 1t was stated by men of
long experience that there was three times
as much mud as at any previous cleaning
out.
The trouble is, the reservoir is not clean
ed out often enough. This has been an ex-
ceptioaal year for rains and freshets, which
for the unusual quantity of mud.
Of course, the great COnemaugh flood
Is largely responsible, since for days
after that event the water of the Ohio
was nearly thick enough to handle
with fork. The quality of the water
then and since may be guessed by the
quality Of the mud in the reservoir, which
gave forth a vile, swampish odor for
,quares away as it was washed down the
cutters.
In fact, could the people of Wheeling
have seen their water reservoir early yes
.erdsy morning, they would unanimously
resolve never to drink another drop of its
contents that had not been boiled and f.
.eIsd.

MASONIC.
Notes from the Lodges.

On last Monday evening Wheeling
Union Chapter No. hald their regular
monthly COnvocation, and there was good
attendance of the Companions present.
Although the Chapter room was excessive
ly warm, yet many of the Companions re-
manned and assisted in comforting the
Mark and Past Degrees after the transac-
ton of routine business on two candidates,
the Masters work being well done by
James McCahon, Past High Priest.
On Monday evening, July 9Th, Wells
burg Lodge No 2 held their monthly Com
municstion with fair attendance of the
brethren present. Many OF the older breth-
rem were prevented from being present ow-
ing to the intense heat of
the Lodge room. The District
Deputy Grand Master of this district hav-
ing received an invitation from the Lodge
to visit them officially on that evening, he
was present, and who, by request of the
WOrshipful Master, occupied the East, and
conferred on one candidate the W. NJ. De-
gree. The brethren of the Lodge also had
the pleasure on that evening Of visit of
two members of Bates Lodge SO, in the
persons of Past Master Robert Browne and
Rev. L. Rush Swope, Chaplain of Bates
Lodge.
No doubt many Mssons are not aware
that all the Lodges, Chapter and Commar
derIes continue to hold all their stated
meetings, although the room they meet in
seems sometimes mora like furnace than
IL % hofo ho
faith, members of the lodges attend, and
will sometime receive their reward.
Wheeling Union Chapter No. held a
special convocation Friday evening, and
two candidates received the Select Royal
and Most Excellent Masters degrees, also
the Royal Arch. They were performed
by the Most Excellent High Priest Water
house and James McCahOp, Past High
Priest. Companion Psyton Penn. Sol, of
Huntington Chapter No. s, was visitor
on the occasion, and who has been in the
city for the past week, receiving the lee
lures in the Chapter work from Grand Lee
turer McCahon.
Robert J. Fullerton, Royal Arch Cap
tain of Wheeling Union Chapter, and
Junior Warden of Wheeling Commandery,
was the recipient of fine Past Masters
jewel, and which he received yesterday as
gift from King Solomon Lodge No. BAG,
of Conceivable, Pa, for services rendered
to that lodge as Worshipful Master. 1t is
a gilt well bestowed, for the writer can
vouch that Brother Fullerton thinks there
is no lodge to equal No 346, and don't for
get to remind his friends of the fact.

KNIGHTS OF HONOR.
The Statement That the Order is to With

The Statement That the Order is to With
draw from Missouri Untrue--Notes.
The statement made by New York pa
per that the knights of Honor were going
to withdraw from the State OF Missouri has
not particle Of truth in it, says the
Knights Of Honor Reporter. The order has
no need, nor has it any intention, of with.
drawing from Missouri. The Insurance
Commissioner has commenced three suits,
one against the Iron Hall, ore against the
A. o. U. w. and one against the Knights
of Honor. The first two named have been
tried, and the Insurance Commissioner has
been defeated in both. The K. of II. case
has not been tried, and is not likely to be,
for the reason that the Legislature Of Mis-
souri, is about passing law which will put
it beyond the power of an Insurance Com
missioner in that State to make these or
ders any trouble.

there were L. 43 applications received at

Long Life with Broken Neck.


The unfortunate Mr. Hill inithis city, is
not the first man who has lived with bro
ken neck. In q certain North Carolina
district before the war it was the practice
to send to Congress the man who could lift
the heaviest weight. When the champion
got the seat he held it until he was literal
ly lifted out of It by a more muscular
man. One gentleman won it by lifting
two barrels Of turpentine, but after hold
ing it several terms he was challenged to
contest it with an opponent, who under
took to lift three barrels of turpentine at
once. He did it, lifting one barrel with
each hand and third on his head, bat
the effort broke his neck, or rather crush
ed the cervical yertebTe. The accident
did not kill him, and he was elected TO
Congress and served many terms, using an
artificial support for his head. Otcourse
the spinal cord was not injured or ne
would have bssn psralized.

Tho Princess Of wales Growing Old.

I noticed for the first time these many
years a change in the looks of the Princess of
Wales. It is sad to have TO say so, but
the "sea-king's daughter from over the
sea, Alexandra" ia getting old. She has
for years looked like the sister OF her
daughters, only fairer than they. But,
now? Well, now, she is begiDning-at
last-to look like their mother. do not
20 so far as to say that the foot Of crow
has marked the eye-corners, bat she is
thinner and more worn in appearance and
Old-lookiDg than she was last Ascot. 1t
may be that the cares of the season are
telling upon her. The prince is "a Jolly

LODGE ROOM GOSSIP.
INFORMATION CONCERNING MASONRY IN
TORBIGN LANDS.
France is Not Recognized Because Prerequisite OF
Belief in God Has Been Eliminated-Gsrmany,
Spain, Italy and Other Countries
The Other Orders

The following extracts from an article
which recently appeared in the Masonic de-
partment of Noah's New York Sunday
Times may be of. general interest:
There is no Grand Master of the United
States, each Grand Lodge having jurisdic-
tion over the territory circumscribed by
the State in which it is located. In Eng
land the Prince of Wales, who is Grand
Master, is the supreme head of the Mason
ic fraternity proper within the British do
minions.
The Freemasons of France are not rec
ognized by the Masons of this country on
account of the fact that, some twenty-five
years ago, the former eliminated from their
law the prereq uisite of belief in God be-
fore man could be made Mason. I'm
mediately upon this action being taken,
the Grand Lodges in America severed their
friendly relations with the Grand Orient of
France and have not renewed this friend
ship.
In Germany there are eight grand lodges
forming the grand lodge league; in Spain
and Italy there are but few Masons, and in
Russia there are not any Freemasons Aus
tria has few Freemasons; Turkey has not
any; in Switzerland there are a few, and
the same may be said Of Denmark, Nor
way and Sweden. OF the lodges of the last
mentioned countries the king of these re-
spective lands is the head and supreme
grand master.
So far as India, Ceylon, China and the
West Indies are concerned, there num-
Der of Masons in each of these countries,
but they are under English, Scottish or
Irish warrants.
There are over a million Freemasons
scattered over the world, and Of this num-
Der $50, 600 reside in the United States.
