THE ODD FELLOWS
Harpsrs Ferry Chosen as the Next Place Of Meet
ing-NomiDaions Made-New Lodges
Caartered-The RebeckahS.

The second days session Of the
Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows Of the
State convened promptly at nine o'clock
Yesterday morning at I. o. o. f. hall.
The missing trunk, containing Grand
Master Dayton's official documents,
turned up all right, after vigorous
search, and the lodge was enabled to
transact its business with more accur-
acy and despatch. The railroad officials
are said to be retcent concerning the
mysterious disappearance of the trunk
but from all the information which can
b. gathered, it appears that it was car
ried to GAINESVILLE. II reached here
yesterday morning, properly marked
and consigned.
Yesterdays meeting OF the Grand
Lodge was very interesting, and was
marked by an increased attendance.
All the officers were present when
Grand Master DAYTON rappeGc Tor order.
S. X. Bradshaw. of Columbus, Past
Deputv Grand Master of Ohio, and
Claude Buckley, of Lexington, Past
Grand officer Of kentucky, were pres
ent, aud were interesting spectators
during the proceedings Of the session.
The meeting was opened in regular
order. A report was presented from
the Committee on Credentials, relative
10 the admission of new members, and
the Grand Lodge degree was immedi-
atey conferred upon some twenty-eight
or more candidates. Various other
committees reported. This business
was largely routine, and OF no public
interest.

Yesterday morning the different COM

were received and acted upon. Most
of the time was devoted TO the prepare
ton of the new constitution, which was
finally completed, and presented to the
Grand Lodge for approval.
Huntington lodge applied for a char
ter before the last session, and for some
reason it was not granted. The Grand
Lodge was asked TO grant this charter,
and several other petitions were pre-
sented for its consideration.
The election of officers for the ensu-
ing year resulted as follows:
President, Mrs. Zoe Burdette, OF
Grafton.
President, Mrs. M. o. Springer,
of Wheeling.
Secretary, Mr.. G. B. Rathman, of
Martinsburg.
Treasurer, Mrs. L. A. Hoffman, OF

An executive committee was also
chosen. The list of appointments by
the President will probably not be an
nounced until to-day. AT five o'clock
the assembly adjourned, to meet next
wear with the Grand Lodge at HaTpers
Ferry.
Last night Wildey Lodge, D. of r.,
of this city, held a special meeting, and

NEXT PLACE OF MEETING

NEXT PLACE OF MEETING
was one OF the most interesting matters
taken up at the morning session. Wells
burg, Wheeling, Point Pleasant, Hunt
ipgton, Harper's Ferry and Parkers-
burg each presented claims for the
honor, and there was considerable work
done among the delegates on behalf Of
the respective places. Harper'S Ferry
asked for the Grand Lodge upon the
strong claim that there are about ten
subordinate lodges in its immediate
vicinity, and no session OF the Grand
Lodge has vet been held in that section.
Delegate Richard Woods, OF Hunting
ton. made a strong fight for his city,
which has probably made an impression
that will take the meeting there IN
1895. On the third ballot the contest
narrowed down to Harpers Ferry and
Huntington, and when the ballots were
counted il was found that the historic
town in the Eastern Pan Handle had
carried of the honor by ninety TO
seventy.
About two-thirds Of the afternoon
session was devoted TO secret WORK.
The first business taken up was the re-
mort of the Committee on Finance, rela-
tive to the expenses of the order. Then
followed other routine committee work.
A document which was listened to
with close attention, was the following
letter from Thomas Wildey, the father
of Odd Fellowship, bearing date Seo-
ruary 25th, 1886:

NOMINATION OF OFFICERS.
The most important work of the af-
ternoon was the nomination OF officers
for the ensuing year. This resulted as
follows:
Grand Master, Septimus Hall, of New
Martinsville.
Deputy Grand Master, John A. Book,
OF Pennington.
Grand Warden. Richard Woods, Of
Huntington; DR.. James A. Cox, OF Ma
sontown; S. L. Dodd, Of Martinsburg;
d. w. Martin and Louis Hoffman. OF
Wheeling; ]. w. Kyle, of Mon tgomery;
c. Shriver, of Bethany; c. NJ Roach.
of Grafton,
Grand Secretary, E. A. Billingslea, of
Farmont
Grand Treasurer, Henry Seamon, Of
Wheeling.
Grand Representative to Sovereign
Grand Lodge, Austin G. Day on, OF
PhiippI.
With the exception Of the Office of
Grand Warden, all these nominations
are equivalent to election, as but one
candidate is named for each place. The
contest for Grand Warden promises TO
be very interesting, and from the num-
Der of friends who are working for
each candidate, it looks like anyOody's
fight. The election OF the retiring
Grand Master as Grand Representative
is'a custom which is observed every year.
Mr.. Dayton has been a capable and eff
Gent officer, and he retires with the
best wishes of his associates in the
| Grand Lodge, and with the conscious
ness Of duty we'll performed.
NEW LODGES CHARTERED.
The Committee on Charters presented
its report, and new lodges were charter
ed at the following named places:
Dunlow, Wayne county; Spring Hill,
Kanawha county: Masontown, Preston
county: Buefeld, Mercer county;

! Kanawah county; Roncevert, Green
brier county. Several Rebeckah degree
! lodges were also chartered
! = The Committee on State of Order pre-
sented its report pertaining to the order
and Jurisdiction. This concluded the
business of the day, and the Lodge ad-
journed until this morning. To-day's
sessions will wind up the business Of
the meeting. This morning the report
of the Committee on Appeals, of which
Col. Romeo II. Freer is chairman, will
be presented, and as there are quite a
number OF appeals, its consideration
will take some time. The officers for
the ensuing year will also be CHI osen to-
| day.
