MAsoNIC.-A most interesting meeting
of Andrew jackson Lodge of Masons
was held last night, when Grand Master
Thomas J. Shryock, of Maryland, was
received with appropriate honors, the
work of the third degree exemplified
and a fourth" degree worked after the
close of the lodge by the craft as
sembling in the upper chamber
around a bountifIlly spread t@b' e
which was not deserted until loy
twelve. when the hundred or more
brethren took leave of each other with
another Joyous remembrance of true
Masonic fraternity implanted in their
r.collections. During the progress of
Ibe feast Past Master F. A. Reed filled
the position occupied by Worshipful
Brother Kemper at the last Masonic
bapouet-toastmas which the latter
,rrracd Symp0&imch, word one of last
nights speakers got slightly mixed up
on in an attempt 10 pronounce 1t.
Brother Reed in the capacity of syn
lgSiarch, drcbitlictimUS, dr6itcr bi6endt,
postmaster, or ruler of the feast, (Which
ever title may be preierred) proved as
decided success as his predecessor,
and called first on Grand Master
.5hryock for speech. That gentleman
arose and in the cause of his re-
marks told his entertainers that
his Masonry was implanted in
him and budded in Alexandria.
His grandfather was member of
old Brooke Lodge, and his mother, an
Alexandria lady, had urged upon him
often while a small boy to te-
come Mason when he should have
reached a period in his history when he
could say he was "of lawful age and
nroperlv vouchcd for" The Grand
Master, who spent last summer in
Rome. gave some interesting history of
the working Of the craft III the Eternal
CITY. His speech elected much APP
plausc. Past Grand Master VIM. II.
Lambert followed in one Of his earnest
efforts which was well received, after
which ex-Mayor Downham made .
short address in which he recounted
some instructive and amusing incidents
which came under his observation
whilc attending the meetings of the
Grand Lodge of Virginia, especially
"reminiscences of some of the old-time
worthless OF the Institution who have
long since entered the celestial lodge
above. Brother f. E. Anderson, Past
slastcr J. f. Alexander and Brother
Hubert Snowdcn followed with short
but pointed addresses, and the cere-
monies were brought to q close at mid
night after Past Master Reed had made
one of his happy and entertaining
speeches. Mr.. Nm. SteueInagel, who
was the caterer of the occasion, made
dazzling display on the Maltese cross
table and the variety of the yiands and
the tempting manner in which they
were displayed reflected his skill in his
profession.

ORDER REsCINDED.-The order rC.
Gently issued by the officials OF the
Mount Vernon Electric Railroad Com,
plny causing cars to pass through the
city without making any stops was an
nailed this morning to the great salts
sction of every one, and now all cars
can be stopped and utilized by any one
as formerly. A telegram to that effect
was received from President Abbot,
who states that it had been determined
by the company to bear the incon-
venience resulting from loss of time &C.
casioned by the unbalasted condition
of the road for the next few days
rather than afford any inconvenience to
the people Of Alexandria or incur their
displeasure. Much qualification is
manifested at the result of the issue,
and the concession made by the COM
pany is applauded. Up to this morn
ing the matter remained as it had
been left yesterday, the company hav-
ing made several attempts to meet the
issue by agreeing to allow stops at
King and Fairfax and Fairfax and
Franklin streets, but the murmurs of
dissatisfaction were in no wise stilled,
nor were they by the limiting of the
hours of the cars which would make
no stops nor promises that the order
would be shortlived. There was but
one sentiment expressed, and that was
the immediate resembling of the order.
Mayor Strauss last night delivered his
ultimatum to the officials of the COM
pany, which was to the effect that the
order must be rescinded at once or that
legal tsures would be resorted to i'm
mediately The company were given
until ten o'clock this morning to re-
move the posted order, and before
that hour it was announced at the Of
flee OF the. company that the mandate
had been rescinded. The news was re-
ceived with the greatest tokens
of satisfaction by every one and
the current of indignation which
had set in gave place to express
sions of appreciation towards the COM
pany for their action in meeting the
wishes of the community And now
that the matter has been settled to the
satisfaction, it is hoped, of both rail
road and people, and numbered among
the things of the past, it can be conf
IDENTIFY asserted that the best offeeling
will hereafter prevail between the COM
pany and the people, and that Alexan-
drians will feel as proud as ever of the
electric road which has proven so benz
fetal and convenient to US all.
