LODGE OF SORROW.

Interesting Exercises by the Il. p. o.
Elks Yesterday Afternoon.
A fair sized audience assem- led at
Odd Fellows Hall, corner Twelfth and
Chapline streets, yesterday afternoon at
o'clock to participate in the exercises
attending the Lodge Of Sorrow of the
b. P. O. Elks. The Lodge Of Sorrow
meets annually throughout the country
TO pay tribute to the memory Of depart
ed brothers. Wheeling Lodge has lost
three members, Samuel A. Miller, Jr.,
James Merose and Richard Mansfield,
the two last mentioned within the past
year.
The members of the Lodge wearing
the Elk aprons marched into the hall
by twos, and occupied the seats re-
served for them. Three vacant chairs
were draped in mourning in honor OF
the deceased members. Exalted Ruler
Chas. List presided, assisted by the
other officers, Ed. b. Franzheim, Nate
Fiel, Samuel Letzkus, Michael Warner,
L. NJ. Statler, and Harry Houser.
The ceremony of depositing the flow
ers upon the Bible was beautiful and
most impressive one. The exercises
opened with the Ode, sung by the Lodge
and choir. This was followed by fer
vent prayer by Rev. A. Moore. A quar-
tette composed of Mrs. Flora Williams,
Miss Teresa Phillips, and MessrS. Day
and Mcclure sang several selections in
an admirable manner, with Miss Emily
Norwood as accompaniSt.
Capt. b. 3. Dovener was unable to be
present, on account of being in Cincin-
natl on business, and his place upon the
programme was filled by Mr. J. IL.
Richardson, who delivered q brief but
touching eulogy, upon the departed
members, reviewing their connection
with the order, and extOlling their many
estimable qualities of heart and mind.
MeSsrs. Day and Mcclure rendered
vocal duet in pleasing manner, after
which DR.. w. II. Cooke, pastor of the
Second Presbyterian Church, pro-
nounced q eulogy. In the course of his
remarks he referred TO the ceremony
mentioned above in terms of highest
praise.
The dOxOlOgy was sung by the entire
audience, after which benediction was
pronounced by Rev. J. A. Hopkins,
pastor Of the Disciples Church.

A COLLISION
oy THE RIVER, LAST EVENING, JUST OPPO-
SITE The WHARF.
Tina Hsatherington and the Simpson HOrner Come
Together and the HOrnsr's Tow Gets
The Worst Of Il.

Ahont ten minutes of six o'clock last
evening people who CHANGED to Dc On
the streets contiguous to the river III
the central portion of the city, were
startled by hearing several sharp blasts
from steamboat whistles, followed by
the crashing of timbers and the shouts
OF men.
A big crowd soon gathered along the
wharf and on the bridges, but the gain
ering darkness made it very difficult to
make out what was the matter, beyond
the apparent fact that two boats had
collided. and were drifting down the
river in close proximity to each other.
After a good deal of trouble, IL was
sscertained that the boats were the
Heatherington, bound down stream, anu
the Simpson Horner, on her wGy up Win
a big tow of empties, and that the lat
ter boat had decidedly the worst OF the
encounter, several of her barges oelnR
knocked loose through the breaking OF
lines. The HOrner fell back about as
far as the bend in the river at the BEL
mont mill. before her barges could be
Strengthened up again, but about quar-
ter after six she proceeded ON up
past the wharf again, and tits presumed
that the damage sustained was slight.
The Heatherington did not seem to be
Injured. as far as could be made out in
the darkness.
A good many stories of the accident
we're floating around, and as neither
boat sent men ashore, the straight OF
it" will likely not be known before some
time to-day, il then. 1t is certain,
however, that the Heatherington was
bound down, and that she whistled for
an unknown boat about the time she got
opposite the foot of Ninth street. The
signal was answered all right, and the
two boats passed. The Horner seems to
have been close behind the first up
stream boat, the name of which Is I'M
known, and she may not have been seen
by the Heatherington'S pilot, or that
boat been seen by the Horner, until
the two crafts were close to-
gether. The Heatherington is
said to have whisted, and to have
sheered close over to the wharf side,
but in a moment the collision oc-
CURED.
This, ct least, is about all that could
be ascertained last night under the cir
cumstances. Full investigation may
reveal a somewhat different state of az
fairs.

,IcKIYIEYIsM on TRIAL.

The Mckinley tariff is On trial FOR
its life. In the supreme Court at Wash
ington, last week, arguments were be-
gun in cases appealed from the lower
courts by importers who hold that no
duties can be collected under the new
law for the reason that the act is un-
constitutional. The grounds are that
the law was not enacted in the mode
provided by the constitution; that 1t
provides bouutles to producers Of sugar,
in excess of tho powers of Congress; and
that it assumes to confer upon the Pres
ident the authority to impose taxes on
imports.
The arguments on these points Will
be read with interest, although it is
too much to expect that the whole in
iqultous law will be held blythe court to
be Initiated by these weaknesses.
As a matter Of common sense, how
ever-to take the single matter OF the
sugar bounty-what right, in reason or
in justice, has Congress to tax every
farmer in the land who does not raise
sugar to pay bounty to the few who
90? II this is not unconstitutional,
what form Of robbery by taxation is?
The reciprocity section is as bad.
It's adoption was a party necessity,
acknowledged as such by Republicans
who yielded their scruples against
bestowal Of the taxing power
upon the President in order not to OBJ
struct the passage Of the bill. 1t is in
credible that the Supreme Court will
decide that the President can exercise
the privilege of raising or lowering Gus
toms duties on certain specified articles,
according to his own sweet will, or
simply to meet party exigencies.
It is remotely possible that the Su-
preme Court of the United States may
relieve the Democratic Congress Of the
necessity for the repeal or amendment
Of the Mckinley tariff by declaring the
whole act unconstitutional.

NEW MARTINsvILLE, W. VA, November
25.-The loss by flood IN this county during
the last three days will amount 70 SlOO,UUO.
Middle Island Creek was higher than ever
known before. All bridges, bOOms and
dams were carried away, and nearly To-
OOO.CO feet Of lumber was lost and destroy
ed Two unknown men were swept down
the creek on a raft and drowned IN slgnt
of fifty people. Their bodies have not been
recovered.
This dispatch has appeared in several
esteemed contemporaries.
Nobody in the good old county Of
Wetzel has heard Of a disastrous flood
there recently, nor Of any food Of any
description. Even smart showers have
been at a premium, for some time past,
and the old family umbrellas OF Wetzel
have for some time stood in the corner in
all their pristine dryness. The enterprise
Of this correspondent is ahead Of that of
his brothers. AS a rule these gentle
men merely pad out" q fact. This
gentleman mas had the creative genius
20 invent the fact.
In some other States these hustllng
literateurs do not receive the delicate
consideration they do in West Virginia.
In Texas, for instance, a newspaper
correspondent in Dallas, who had not
always confined himself strictly TO the
truth, was out driving the other night
with friends. AT about midnight, a dis
patch tells us, four masked men with
drawn rovolvers halted them. The
literary gentleman IN question was
taken frlm the buggy, bindiolded and
bandcufTed, transferred TO a hack aud
rapidly driven to the country, a distance
of four miles. In an uDiuhabted neigh
b0rhood he was taken from the hack,
thrown upon the ground, disrobed, and
q bucket Of tar thrown upon him. His
head, face and shoulders were also be-
Smeared with the stuff He was then
notified to leave the city inside of
twenty-four hours or his life would be
forfeited. And thus his prosecutors
left him.
That is the Texas method Of treating
journalists who juggle with cold facts.
There are several newspaper men in
West Virginia whom we would strongly
advise not 20 go 20 Texas.

IN his lengthy report the Secretary

mendation except that Uncle Sam
build moro big men-of-war instead of
more cruisers, and that our naval

IL is a question If the modern navy will

THE VIRGINIA DEBT sETTLEIENT'

TIE VIRGINIA DEBT SETTLEMENT l.
According to the information furn-
ished in Brqdstrcets, there is consider
Bile dissatisfaction in England with the
terms of the settlement Of the Virginia
debt reached by the Virginia Debt Com
mission and the Olcott Committee OF
New York. That plan provides for an
issue Of s19,OOO,O 600 Of 1OO-year bonds
bearing interest for ten years at ? per
cent. and for the remaining ninety
years at 3 per cent, the new bonds to
conform in general character to those
issued under the Riddleberger bill.
Many leading representatives OF the
bondholders are strongly opposed to its
adoption. A London journal says that
among the classes interested those op-
posed to the present plan Of settlement
because they purchased the bonds at a
high figure are largely in the majority,
and if they remain firm will certainly
get better terms.
These, however, evidently, have
never thoroughly studied the maxim to
the effect that a bird In the hand is
worth two, or more, in the bush.
