FREEMASONRY IN VIRGINIA.
st. Johns Lodge. Norfolk, Chartered in
I.I1-The First Grand Master.

There is much obscurity about tho early
history of Freemasonry IN this State. The
first chartered lodge appears to have been
the st. johns, at Norfolk, which received
its warrant in l74l from the Grand Lodge
OK Scotland. On December -. 1853, the
Royal Exchange Lodge. at Norfolk. was
chartered by the Athoi or ancient York
Lodge. But between l14l and 1853 the
Lodge OF Fredericksburg had sprung into
existence. Its records show that General
Washington was there initiated November
4. 1852. This lodge WAS chartered by the
Grand Lodge of Massachusetts, on July u,
1853. but had been acting under dispense
ton tor several years before. In III
there were ten lodges IN Virginia. two al
Norfolk ana one Ut each of the following
places: Port Royal. Fredericksburg.
Hampton. williamsburg. Gloucester.
CaoIn Point, Petersburg. and Yorktown.
THE FIRsT CONVENTION
On the 9Th of May in that year deputies
from five of these lodges met IN conven.

Textbook" The convention, however,
adjourned 10 June Esd. after stating its
reasons for the election of such an officer.
On that day it met but again adjourned.
Finally it met on October 10. l77s The
record calls 1t "a convention OF the
craft" but it assumed the form of O lodge.
and the master and wardens of Williams

Were overwhelmingly. Williamsburg.

The modern forms of Masonic conventions

Another consideration of value is that
already there is railroad transportation in
nearly all the mineral sections aud abun-
dant water in all aud water power IN

More than thirty distinct varieties OF
valuable timber grow in Virginia. and the
wood for fuel and for charcoal is excessive

OUR BEST FRUIT.
Already Being Preserved
for the Fair.
President LeIong Tells the State Hor-
ticuItural Society the Exhibit
Will Be Instructive.

At the monthly meeting of the State
Horticultural Society held yesterday
President Lelong gave some interesting
information respecting the manner in
which California fruit Will be shown by
the State Board of Horticulture at the
forthcoming Mid winter Fair
Mr.. Lelong stated that lie had written
to different truit-growers throughout the
State requesting choice sam piles for exhi-
bition. Last week we received 400 boxes,
but out of these scarcely more than twenty
could be used, as the fruit was badly
packed, and had spoiled on the road"
President LelOng went on TO advise
w0ud-be exhibitors to wrap up their fruit
carefully. and place it on layers of fine
straw using small wooden boxes for pack
ing. LAS the exhibits arrive" be said.
they are photographed and preserved in
glass Jars. On the Jar Is pasted a label
giving the name OF the fruit and a descrip-
tlon Of where it was grown, also It's gen.
eral characteristics and its color. However
carefully fruit is preserved il changes
color slightly, and we do not wish 10 give
Ea.tern visitors the impression that Cali
fOrnia fruit is insipId in tint.
what we want is an instructive exhibit,
and one not merely for show. We ask
/ especially for choice varieties Of fruit.
! properly named, and for small branches
! of walnuts and almonds If any one is
/ willing to preserve the fruit in their own
orchards the State Board OF Horticulture
will send jars and materials and pay the
/ shipment both ways. A number of jars
in various parts of the State have already
been filed in The orchards"
Captain Henry Brainard of San Jose
read paper explaining the entire process
of prune-drying. This gave rise to an in
teresting discussion as to the best way of
drying the fruit. The present system is to
dip the fruit 10 lye, which causes the skin
To crack and shrink, and facilitates evapora-
ton. The new process is to perforate the
skin by a machine. Evaporation is little
more slow, the latter way, but the fruit so
prepared appears to give great satisfaction.
THE new process will be operated
enough this year 10 place it beyond the ex-
perimental stage" said Captain Brainard.
Prune-grOwers are waiting for the result
with considerable interest.

FIGHT OVER GRADES.
Noe Valley Property-Own Prepar.
ing Petitions.

On September IL next the Board of Su-
pervisors will be called upon TO consid er
several monster petitions from citizens re-
siding in Noe Valley relative to street
grades in the vicinity of Twenty-irst aud
Sanchez streets. The petitions are but
another phase of a row among property
owners in that locality that mas been in
progress for the past two years, aud bids
fair to continue for some time to come
The grade of Sanchez street. between
Liberty and Twenty-second. has been fixed
and the grading completed according to
the specifications furnished by the City
and County Engineer. But the established
order OF things does not suit the property
owners along Liberty street, and they now
propose to nave the grade at Liberty and
Sanchez streets lowered some ten or fifteen
feet. AS this would necessitate a change
of grade ali along Sanchez street, and
would, moreover, leave the houses on top
of the hill some twenty-five or thirty
feet above the street, there is great 0ppo-
sition from those who have already COM
piled with the aw ard graded the street
according to the letter of the ordinance
There are at least four different factions,
and as all want a different grade there
seems to be peck OF trouble ahead for the
Supervisors.
To cOmplicate matters still further it is
claimed Oy some tnaI the present trouble
grows out of an attempt on the part of the
Southern Pacific Company to fix the grades
on Sanchez street so that it will be impos-
sioie to build a ca Die road along this thor
oughfarP. The Omnibus Cable Company
has been trying for several years to have
the grades fixed and the grading done so
that it might extend its lines out Sanchez
street AS such line would parallel the
Castro-street line of the Southern Pacific
Company the claims of the property-Own-
ers in the matter of Southern Pacific inf1u-
ence seem to be not i'll founded.
From a disinterested stand point the pres
ent grades seem to be the most practical
bic, and. in fact, the only ones that would
not work a hardship on the property own
ers on the hill Should the proposed low
erng of the grade at the junction OF Lib
erty and Sanchez streets be carried into
effect a great part of the property on the
hill would have to be contiscated, as it is
not worth enough to pay the grade tax.

SMALL RETURNS.
The Value of the General
Grants Treasure.
The Ships Manifest Shows That the
Amount Was Only $4,000 and
Not $I,500,0O0.

A rumor has been going the rounds OF
the proposed formation of corporation
in this city. the purpose being to fit out a
sailing vessel TO search for the treasure of
the ship General Grant.
That vessel was a new ship, owned by
Page, Richardson & Co. of Boston, and
was wrecked in 1866 on her way from Mel
bourne to London. She drlfteG on the
irOnboun shores of the Aucklands, not TO
be ground to atoms on the endless wall of
rock. but to be embayed in one of the cav
ernous crevices formed by volcanic action
and then drawn into a giant cave. against
the sides and roof Of which the ships TIM
bers crashed until she sank.
A sensational report states that the
wrecked vessel had S1,5O0,O00 in gold on
her when she sank and that il is for this
that enterpriSlng merchants are going TO
subscribe $4,000 to fl up a vessel to 90 To

Quoted on the whaling-eXredition plan
i. e., each OF the searchers is 10 receive a
percentage of the lost treasure after all
expenses have been deducted. Divers,
Seamen and officers are said TO agree TO
this.
IL there be any merchants who are an
ticpating great wealth by advancing a
small amount OF CAPT al for the search
they may as well learn now lar from a
million and half dollars the value of the
gold in the lost General Grant really is.
