AN OLD LODGE ROOM.

AN OAD AOD"H pNOON1s
Some Discoveries in the Kirby Place
in Berlin.
During the recent alterations and repairs
of an old house situated on Berlin street,
in the town of Berlin, known for many
years as the Kirby place, it was discovered
that the upper portion or hall was once
used as Masonic lodge room. After re-
moving several layers of wall paper, it was
found that the plaster walls were covered
with Masonic emblems, representing vari-
GUS degrees in Masonry, from the lodge to
commandery. Two brazen pillars, sur
mounted by the arch and keystone of the
chapter, are conspicuous on one side, and
underneath is suspended the letter q,
while in the foreground are represented
three persons clothed in royal robes. Sur
rounding the arch and columns are repre-
scented numerous Masonic symbols familiar
to every Mason; the temple star with it's
nine points and passion CROSS entwined
with a serpent; Cross pens with three
crowns representing three kings; the ark
and dove; the Jewish tabernacle and many
others.
The house was built in 1859, and was
tavern for many years when line of
stages ran between New York and Boston,
and this house was one of the stopping
places on the route between the two cities.
The hall, which was then used for dances,
was afterward converted into lodge room,
and afterwards was known as the Kirby
place. In all probability this was the
spot where Harmony lodge No. 20 of
New Britain held its meetings. The lodge
was first located in Berlin by the name Of
Berlin lodge No. 20, and organized in 1871,
two years after the grand lodge of Con-
necticut was established. From 1897 to
1900 the lodge had DR.. James g.. Percival
for master, who was prominent MUSICIAN
In the place and father of James q. Per-
cival, jr., the poet, inguist and geologist.
Mr.. Atwater is not Mason, nor any of
his sons, yet he has preserved this old
fresco, which ia in q fair condition, az q
relic Of old times and associations.

THE INTEREST ABATING

In the Search for the nurderer-The
Police Have Information That He
Has Got Away.
The interest in the search for the MUIR
dersr, Russi, is beginning to abate slowly.
The police are giving up hope of catching
the man, although every suggestion is
acted upon.
From information cleaned by very hard
work on the part of the officers it has been
found that the murderer escaped from the
city Immediately after the murder. He was
unaided in escaping from the city He has
received aid from friends in this city, how
ever, since he has left.
Every nook and corner of italian houses
whose occupants were even thought to
know the man have been searched, and
every rumor has been settled, bat the muir
derer is still at large. The fact that he is
known to very few, and those few will
say nothing, Is a terrible hindrance in the
case.
The Italians who do business on Grand
avenue, and, in fact, all the shoemakers,
BARRIERS and Italians who keep any kind Of
a store, are all regretting that the ARRAY
ever occurred. 1t has, it is said, given
their business very severe setback.
OF the suggestions which the police re-
ce1ve some are very absurd and some very
good.
Some letters were received BY the police
q few days ago and acted upon, but moth
ing came OF them. The letters were anony-
nous.

A PLUCKY STOP.
Conductor Judge Prevents a Serious
Accident.

Two teams were standing tandem on
Chapel street in front of Goodman's
jewelry store yesterday forenoon. The
front team was tied, the other not. The
last team took fright and started down the
street, colliding with the front team and
overturning both wagons. As the run
away got opposite Conductor Judges car
he quickly sprang off and grabbed the
terrified animal by the bits, and after much
difficulty succeeded in bringing 1t to a
stop in time to prevent its dsshing into
several other teams W ich were a few feet
in advance.
The readiness and pluck of Mr. Judge
was widely commended by the bystand
ers. But slight damage was done. How
ever, If the horse had not been stopped
considerable loss would have resulted.
