the same instant La Champagne's

Both these Incidents convinced Keely
that he was getting in too close. He
rang to ston her. and she struck bot

have been about n knot faster per hour

count for his position. He declares pos

was not ringing.
Keely II thirty years Old. and has been
a pilot for ten years. This is his irst

SONS OF BENJAMIN QUARREL,
The Dig Fraternity Fight to lie
Aired In Court.

The trouble that has been stirring one
of the largest Hebrew fraternitles in
this country, the Order Sons of Benja-
min. since February last. Is now to be
ventilated in the courts. The case.
which will be heard before Justice DAILY
on Friday ne1t. Is entitled Leopold. as
Treasurer OF Raphael Lodge, Order of
Sons Of Benjamin. w. Ferdinand Levy,
Grand Master, and the order OF the
ons of Benjamin. A temporary injunc-
ton has been obtained, prohibiting the
suspension of Raphael Lodge and its
members for non-payment OF an assess
ment for the Endowment Guarantee
Fund. which the Lodge claims is ille-
gally assessed.
The ground of it's complaint Is that
the law authorizing the fund, passed at
the recent Convention of the order in
Baltimore. did not receive a two-thirds
vote of the delegates present: and that
the law changing the Constitution Of
he Board governing the fund from 100
to forty members was improperly voted
on, the nays not being asked for or
counted. The plaintiff asked the Court
not only to enioin the Order from sus-
pending the Lodge, but to compel the
Grand Master to call q special Conven-
ton to settle the matter permanently.

NOT A BLOW AT FALL RIVER.
Explanation of Expected Change
In sound TRANSPORTATION.

The rumor Of changes ,in the terminal
points Of the Fall River line did not
excite much establishment on the
part OF any of the employees when
they were seen upon the subject to-day.
One OF the leading officials in the alb
sence OF the Superintendent snid:
Tho entire business. both by land and
water, is now In the hands OF the New
York. New Haven and Hartford Rail-
road Company. This Company is now
an integral. part of that, and as they
ran supply better facilities for terminal
business at Providence than at Fall
River IT will undoubtedly be good policy
to change the route of these large
steamers to that port.
The only question at issue was the
practicebility of taking the large craft
up the Providence River.
whether this will also put an end
to the stop at Newport for freight and
passengers l do not know. Nor Is the
projected change a blow at Fall River.
The Company owns considerable prop
erty at both Fall River Inc Providence,
and the movement is n necessary con-
c%ession to the increasing and natural
demand of our business. The corpora
ton of the Fall River line Is a Massa-
chusetts institution. n Of necessity the
