Lodge Only Partially Answered.

Lodge Only Partially Answered.
NEWARK. N. j.. May 23.--The local
lodge of the Order of Tonti has held
several lively meetings since word was
received that the Order had made its
assignment. All OF the meetings have
been secret, but 1t has just become
known that at Saturday nights meet
ing 1t was resolved to send a number
Of written questions to the officers Of
the Grand Lodge. asking what should
be done.
The questions were: Are the members
compelled to pay all rlief fund assess
ments coming due? In case they don't
will 1t effect them or their stand in the
final distributions OF the assets OF the
Order? In case they have to pay the
relief fund assessments, will they also
have to pay the general fund assess
ments? Has the Order or its represen-
tatives the power to suspend member
for non-payment of assessments after
the Order make it's assignment?
The reply to these question was re-
ceived yesterday, and is: "Will reply to
the questions you submit as soon as we
are advised by Council. In the mean
time we think that members for their
own protection should pay in all as
sessments called prior to May IS, and the
assignors will retain such payments
subject to the decision of the court"

stands, Although Convicted.

StunuS, fthOuSh SohNicteu'
ELIZABETH, N. j., May 23.-Judge
Van Syckel. in the Union County Cir
cult Court, to-day rendered decision
in the remarkable case of Ernestine
Wenzel against Charles Sauer. Rah-
way baker, and Charles Wright. de-
tective OF that place.
The men accused Mrs. Wenzel Of
grand larceny, and had her indicted and
convicted last October for the alleged
theft of $3.50 from Mr.. Sauer's house.
Meanwhile she brought suit against
both men for damage to her character
and a few weeks ago jury gave her a
verdict for $50, thus practically revers-
ing the action OF the former trial.
The lawyers for Sauer and Wright ap-
pealed from this verdict, on the ground
that II was contrary to the evidence.
and asked for a new trial. Judge Van
Syckel refused the application, and the
defendants will either have to pay Mrs.
wenzel or carry the matter to the Su-
preme Court.
The verdict rendered against her, in
view OF the second trial, must be set
aside by the Court. Mrs. WenZel is out
under bail, sentence being suspended by
Judge Mccormick until the civil suit
was decided.
