MASONRY.

As was announced in last Sundays edi-
ton of the REGISTER, that there would be
work, and in good form, done in ONO
Lodge No /, on Monday evening, would
result in having very large attendance OF
the members of No. /, who already knew
about the work contemplated at that meet
ing. but it had the effect of having large
number of visitors present TO witness the
work. None were disappointed, for a
worthy brother who had been entered as a
Mason, was passed right along on his ma
sonic journey, and was made craftsman.
Then there was found in waiting one who
had served his Master in his labors as
craftsman, and he was permitted to journey
on TO the goal. and was made Master,
The work was most satisfactorily done
and made the most excellent impressions
on their, and which they Will remem
Der during life, and we trust the moral APP
plications will bring them TO be members
of the Celestial Lodge above, where our
Supreme Grand Master presides in that
grand East in Heaven.
Worshipful Maxwell did well in all his
part of the work and his condition of the
3rd, for the first time, shows Us who were
pre- sent, that our Past Master Demil has
an intelligent and careful student in our
worthy brother.
On Tuesday afternoon and evening the
Deputy Grand Master of this Masonic Dis
trict had pleasant visit among the breth-
rem of Marshall Union Lodge, No. 5, 10
Gated at Moundsville. During his stay in
that town he was royalty entertained by
Worshipful Oldham and his family and
friends, and the time spent at his home
when not engaged in masonic work, was
so pleasant, that it will ever remain as
bright gem IN memory.
We were glad TO see so many OF the
brethren in the lodge room, and especially
to see the interest manifested by our
Wheeling members who are residents of
Moundsville, to know they are often found
in the lodge room, although away from
their home lodge but they show them
selves to have the spirit of Masonry at
heart, and believe in the Scriptural in
junction, Behold how good and how pleas
ant it is for brethren to dwell together in
unity"
On Thursday Nelson Lodge held its
regular meeting, and it was the occasion

When the great Pennsylvania Rail-

Pittsburg to-day is a great railroad

The result is, that, with an even start,
Pittsblrg has distanced Wheeling As a

account of 75-foot snake seen in
some remote part of the coun-
try, he IS simply amusing and
harmless. When he devotes his atten-
ton to men and their affairs his influence
is usually baleful. The late Gen. SHEER
MAN said in his last speech that if he
had hung half dozen newspaper cor
respondents, the war would have been
over two years sooner.
A fine specimen of the newspaper liar
in his harmless mood is the correspond
ent Of our esteemed neighbor, the Intel
Itqencer, who wrote from Kingwood a
startling account Of a wild man-snake, "
captured in that locality. The hair-rais-
ing tale was. Of course, "well authenti-
Gated" by numerous "unimpeachable"
witnesses, and was far from exaggerating
the facts. the correspondent actually
toned down the reality. This mon
stroSity was captured and brought to
the County Infrmary-thOugh why the
Infrmary was selected as its place OF
opinement was not explained. Proba-
ably the Intelligencer man told the poor
thing a yarn and reduced it to state OF
imbecile infirmity. The explanation,
however. comes later and is made by the
Kingwood Argus. The Argus is mad.
II begins by calling attention to form
err horrible tale published by the Iptetl'-
genccr about the finding Of human bones
by workmen who were digging up what
was the foundation of an old hotel. The
inference left was that these were the
bones Of persons who had been muir
dered and thus disposed Of during the
days when the spot was covered by
hotel The ArgUS Indignantly calls al
tent.on 20 the fact that the bones were
beef bones. This, says our indignant
Kingwood contemporary, is now FOL
lowed by the publication in the inteIti-
geRcCr OF "a double-headed ana lrlSuC
ful-hair raising blood curdling-chill-
creeping-up-your-back account of AN
Awful Monstrosity in the Shape Wild

and brought TO the County Infrmary. y
And il proceeds 70 explain that the wild
that was alleged TO have
been roaming the wilds of Preston
county is a poor deaf-and-dumb idiot
confined in the Infrmary, named
CHARLES HlLLERY, who, far from hav-
Ing the serpent-wiSdom "man-Snake"
ought 10 possess, has no wisdom at all,
and shows no sign. either mental or
Of anything snaky. The m

enough to be Of the Sea-Serpent variety.

Save the Mound.

The following letter was sent last week
to Smiths Inder,. of Parkersburg:
Editor Inder:
There seems to be some difficulty in rails
ing means to purchase the Indian Mound
at Moundvlle. For the sake of its ancient
origin and historic association this should
by all means be preserved. The Historical
Association of West Virginia petitioned
the Legislature to make az aspiration last
winter for this purpose, but it wasn't done.
Why can not the school children of our
State, both public and private, start and
raise this fund, which will give them per
sonal interest in their State, and increase
their geographical and historical knowl-
edge. I've found them always willing to
aid in anything of this kind. For the honor
of the little Mountain State this handsome
relic of prehistoric age should not be al
lowed TO be purchased by anyone out of its
borders, but should be owned by her and
her children, heirs and assigns forever.
