A Startling Move in Ohio.

There arrived in this city yesterday a
number of prominent Masons from different
parts of the state who are opposed to the po-
sition assumed by the grand lodge of Ohio
on the Scottish rite fight, says the Column
bus, O., Dispatch of the 9th inst. They came
upon an Important mission, which was no
less than the formulating of a plan aud max
ing arrangements for establishing separate
lodges, which will, II Is stated, lead to the
institutIng of a separate grand lodge. The
meeting was held last evening, but it is I'M
possible to learn just what steps were taken
toward the accomplishment OF the object
above described, o asi all those who
are supposed To- know anything
about the movement are exceed
ingly close mopthed. The meeting
was not held In the Scottish rite cathedral,
as that building could not be secured, but 1t
was held in the lodge room of Buckeye en-
canpment in the Oddfellows' temple.
This movement, as will DO apparent TO
those familiar with Masonry, may be of far
reaching consequence to the order. IL is sand
TO be independent Of both the northern iuris-
diction and Cerneau divisions OF Scottish rite
Masonry, whose members are said 10 be in
no way connected with IL. This, at least, is
the conclusion upon the best OBJ
tainable at this time. Local Masons who
were approached for Information admitted
that they had heard rumors of such O move
meat. but declared one aud all that they had
no information OF last nights gathering.
Developments will no doubt be anxiously
awaited, and Masons in this and other states
will watch tho progress OF the movement
with deep interest.

The souvenirs of We olden time were presen-
ted TO him by his father John Trey, who is a
retired iron merchant, residing at Cupola,
Chester county, Pa.
The documents consist of fine parchment
indertures, records of transfers of land in
Chester county, under dates of l134,
a l7ss' fro 1,95' o 1soi t and twd lsS so0d They y
half feet in size, and for the most part have
boen tinged by time TO the color of autumn
leaves. The parchment is probably the
heaviest ever used for such purposes, it
seeming that little more than the wool itself
had been taken from the sheepskin in order
to make it ready for use. The writing,
which was done with a Quill pen, is so ex-
quisite and true as to appear at first glance
to be steel engraved. 1t IS interspersed with
fine German script work.
The descriptions gwen of land are novel
and amusing. Here Is one, taken from the
document which bears date of 1874: "Begin-
ing at q black tree at q corner formerly OF
Thomas Green's land and extending thence
by vacant land west southwest 1872 perches
to a hickory tree, thence formerly by John
Pierce's land west 6S perches to q
black oak and south So perches to q
hickory tree and southwest "a peaches to
a post and south 81 peaches to an ash tree,
thence by the aforesaid Thomas GREEN'S
land east, northeast 247 perches 10 a black
oak and north by west "A perches to the
place of beginning, containing 1903 acres and
the allowance of Six acres for roads and high
ways"
The seals attached to these rare old ex-
panses of parchment are great, rudely made
stars of the same material. 1t
will doubtless prove o bit of
new and interesting information
to many persons, that the now legal term,
''indenture," had its origin In the old custom
OF writing the original and the copy of such
records as those just quoted from, on one
piece of parchment and then separating
them by an irregular cutting.
In after time no copy woulu be held by the
courts as original or genuine unless the
edges or indentures fit precisely those of the
document on file with The recorder of such
ingfrumants.

controversy, between these parties. belongs
not to ancient craft masonry. No grand
lodge, on principle, could have jurisdiction
over it, except by the consent and request of
both the contending parties,
Would it be wise to exercise such jurisdic-
ton and act as such arbitrator think not.
If we did, wo would go beyond the function
of a grand lodge, and we would be subjected
to appeals from other secret societies TO set
tie differences between them.
We have our energies fully occupied in
performing our own duties, and as our pride
is that we are broad enough to enable all
men TO meet upon the common level of the
brotherhood of man. and the fatherhood of
God, we cannot afford, nor nave w the
power or right to do anything whereby a
ibrother guilty of no moral trepitude, and
performing all mis- duties as a good Mason,
and a good citizen, shall be excluded from
this guaranteed brotherhood, simply because
some other society declares that he belongs
to a schism of that body, and Is clandestine.
We are obligated to obey the law of
ancient craft masonry and no other law
whatever. There is no law of ancient craft
masonry declaring the status of any but
those who make up and constitute ancient
craft masonry.
No good purpose can be subserved by such
action Of q grand lodge, and the fable OF the
monkey and the cat anent the roasted chest
nuts, should be a hemely but timely warning
to us to avoid a similar result.
