sovEREIGN GRAND LODGE
or Odd Fellows-Important Matters Set
tled-An Ohio Case.

tled-An Ohio Case
ST. LOUIS, September 25.-The
Sovereign Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows
this morning voted down proposition
made by Lieutenant General Under
wood to the effect that members could
become eligible to the degree OF
Pstriarchs Militant without going
through the Endampment. A resolu-
tion was presented to remove the head
quarters of the Grand Secretary from
Columbus, O., to Baltimore, Md. This
was referred to q committee. 1t is
stated that this resolution will very
likely be favorably reported and passed.
Efforts were made to have another con-
vention of the degree Of Rebekah next
year, but the movement was overwhelm-
ingly defeated.
The Sovereign Grand Lodge decided
several matters of Importance at their
session to-day. The report of the COM
mittee on patriarchs militant, on COM
plant of Franklin Ellis, was
the first question considered.
Ellis is grand representative from
Ohio, and the Grand Lodge OF that State
preferred charges. Some time since,
when the office of Captain General,
which Ellis held, expired, he assumed
the duties of Lieutenant General with
out any other formality of election except
the application of law. Shortly after this
he issued an order assuming command OF
the patriarchs militant. Gen. John O.
Underwood, after his commission as
Acting Lieut.. General had expired, had
Ellis deposed and ordered his arrest
The Grand Lodge of Ohio took
exceptions to this and entered
complaint against the action oi
General Underwood. The committee
recommended that no action be taken
on the complaint. The motion to hold
biennial instead Of annual sessions wa:
lost. The proposition to extend the In
surance clause to the Patriarch Mill
tant branch OF the order was rejected
1t was decided to allow the lodges tC
use the widows and orphans funds fol
the erection of an orphans home and tC
ALLOW all lodges to make weekly pay
ments to i'll members, the minimum pay
ment to be two dollars per week.

Big Express BusIness.

The express business in Wheeling this
year, and particularly during the last
few months, has been unprecented-
ly large. DR.. Hammond, local agent OF
the United States Express Company,
says that the business here was very
large in August, the average daily
amount for the month taken In being
S4OO. On the Goth OF August the Com
pany took in S756.57, and on the 2sth,
Ss11.s7. Nearly $4,000 was taken in
during the month Of August, the
cost OF maintaining the Office
being only 6 per cent. OF the
revenue. This Is so per cent. In excess
of the highest preceding month, and
over 93.3 per cent. increase over August
of last year. The total amount Of the
c. o. ID. business leaving the Office since
the first Of January amounts 10 $4,000.
The peach traffic largely occasioned the
big business this year, while soon there
will be large influx Of oysters.

Wall street, shortly after 3 o'clock to-
day, and taking small bar OF gold from

name was John S. Fitzgerald, showed
such remarkable ignorance OF market

necessarily frightful.

II was this mortar that exploded and
caused all the harm. About II p. N, a

exploded in it.
There were hundreds OF men, women
and children standing around watching

STATE OF TRADE.
The Conditions Continue Favorable for q
Prosperous Season.

NEW YORK, September 25.-R. G..
Dun & Co.'s weekly review Of trade
says: None of the disturbances threat
en- to affect the general prosperity
which enormous crops now promise,
and the failure OF q house of extraordi-
nary repute and strength to sustain the
price of corn is at once proof Of the
general prosperity and warning that
whoever gets on the wrong side when
this country is growing is liable to be
hurt.
The report from other cities indicate
continuance of the general improve
ment in trade already noticed. At
Philadelphia the iron market improves
and the demand for tin plates is espe-
cially increased. AT Cleveland good
trade is seen in dry goods, hardware
and groceries. AT Chicago the week
was one of the largest on record in cat
tie receipts, which were over $4,000,
and while some increase appears in
flour, oats and corn, dressed beef, re-
ceipts OF wheat and rye were nine times
last year, though I'm barley, cured
meats, lard, cheese and butter, there
was some decrease.
As TO money the markets are general
ly favorable. The great industries are
doing well. There is distinctly better
demand for iron without advance In
price. More inquiry is seen for rails,
2O, 900 tons being sold here, stronger
demand for bar. moderate activity In
plate and structural mills fairly en-
ployed. Copper is stronger, large con-
sumption, distribution of tin is larger
and lead is stronger. Steady sales OF
wool give proof of consumption equal
to last years, though in dress goods
larger, desirable fambrics being sold
beyond the capacity OF many mills.
The business failures throughout the
country during the last seven days num-
bered 244 failures with 239 last week,
and 219 same last year.

ROCHESTER PRESBYTERY
Suggests Some Changes In the Presbyte-
rIan Confession of Faith.

rian Confession of Faith.
ROCHESTER,, n. Y, September 25.-
The PresbYtery of Rochester held its
fall meeting at Nunday, n. Y. The
matter of chief interest and Importance
that came up for consideration was the
Confession Of Faith as revised by the
committee of the General Assembly. In
chapter third the clause "God hath
predestinated some mankind un-
to life," was changed to
''Predestinated multitude whom no
man can number" The last sentence
in the sixth section OF the same chap
ter was struck out, to-wit: Neither
are any other redeemed by Christ ef-
fectually called, justified, adopted,
sanctified and saved, but the elect
only"
The most remarkable thing done was
to vote that the seventh section, chap
ter 8, both In the original form, which
declares that, "The rest OF mankind
was pleased TO pass by and TO ordain 10
dishonor and wrath" and the revised
form should be omitted altogether, and
the following adopted as substitute
for It: "The DEGREES OF God concerning
all mankind are TO be so construed as 10
be harmony with these declarations OF
scripture, viz: THAT Christ is the pro-
pitaton for the sins Of the whole world,
and that God Is not willing that any
should perish. but that all should come
to repentance and live"
This change having been made, IL was
decided TO be necessary 10 strike out
the last section OF the chapter which
relates to the high mystery just ex-
plunged.
