WON'T HAVE TO PAY RENT.
Solomon's Lodge of NJ asons Opens It's
Lodge Room,

The older masonic institutions of this
city will hereafter occupy the lodgeroom
in the Masonic Temple free of rent.
Solomon's Lodge No. the owner of the
property, having passed a resolution TO
that effect at its last regular communion
ton. This action is in accordance with a
resolution of the lodge, passed March Z,
1878, providing that as soon as the debt
incurred in erecting the building shall
have been paid, the third story of the
Masonic Temple should be devoted ex-
clusively to masonic purposes free of
rent.
Solomon's Lodge has not paid of its in
debtedness. but in view Of the fact that
those interested had waited so long a
time, and that there was no immediate
prospect of the lodge relieving itself of
Its financial burdens, it was deemed
proper to carry out the resolution Of six
teen years ago.
The masonic bodies that are benefited
under the resolution are Zurrubabel
Lodge No -, Clinton No 81, Ancient
Landmark No. DBL, Georgia Chapter No
3, Royal and Masons, Georgia Council No
2, r. and S. NJ. and Palestine Com
mandery No 7, Knights Templar.
Landrum lodge No. As, r. and A NJ.
and Alpha Lodge, Scottish Rite, do not
participate in the free tenancy, as they
were not in existence when the resolution
Of 1878 was passed.
Under the new arrangement the third
floor, which is now entirely devoted to
masonic purposes, will be under the
joint control of the bodies named
and Solomon's Lodge. 1t is very probable
that as soon as the proposition is &C
cepted, the floor will be rearranged and
the rooms refitted in the latest style of
furniture and paraphernalia.
The settlement of this old time agree
ment will set at rest some matters that
have Occasioned a little friction and that
has threatened to disturb the harmony
which is one of the beauties of masonry.

What Savannah Street Railway Men
Say About 1t.

say ABOUT IL.
The sale of the United Electric railway

some attention in Savannah, as the owners
of this road were the principal owners of
the Savannah Street railway. and are
now largely interested in the Electric
Railway Company of Savannah
President Collins, of the lat
ter company said yesterday
that the sale was merely for the pur-
pose of squeezing some of the water out
of the stock. The street
railways of Nashville were CON
solidated sometime ago, under the
name of the United Electric railway.
There were 81 100000 of top bonds and
81, 100000 of underlying bonds
The bonded Indebtedness was too
great, and the road went into the
hands of receiver Mir T.
w. Wrenne, who is well known
in Savannah, was made receiver. The
road was bought in by the holders of the
underlying bonds for Sl3S, 500, the sale be-
ing practically in their favor.

quaintance with Old Pap, as the boys called

across an old confederate who hmped at a
snail s pace, evidently dragging his exhausted
frame with great difficulty.
Here, get up on my horse, said pap. The
wounded soldier, with tears in his eyes, pro
tested that he couldn't think of doing it, but
the general jumped down lifted the man in
the saddle, and plOdded along Thea muddy
road. paying no heed to his subordinate's
thanks.
And this another side: It was during the
battle of Lexington. and the bullets flew

AGAINST THE TROLLEY
Debate in the House on the Metropolitan
Railroad Bill.
Fighting Over the Railroads. Paving
Tax Bill, and the Motive Power
to Be Used.

Il want to call your attention to this
fact, that every effort which has been made
to secure betterment of railroad facilities
in this city has been the attempt of some
other of the committees of this House
than the committee on the Dis
trict of Columbia. We have seen today
these gentlemen (and l speak of them with
perfect respect, for have the utmost conf
dence in them,)as advocates of this corpo-
ration devoting themselves to that line of
argument that their attorneys would have
made had they been permitted to come be-
fore the House, and without that complete
candor that seems to me we have the right
to expect"
This severe arraignment of the District
committee was made on the floor CT the
House yesterday afternoon by Congressman
Hepburn of Iowa. 1t marked one period or
a very stormy day for the metropolitan
Railway Companys bill. The bill had eX-
perienced a safe and easy passage through
the District committee, but when 1t got
into the House it struck shoal water and
large-sized Roncador reef.
The Stars report yesterday closed with
Congressman Cobb'S argument FOR the COM
pany In its suit against the District. Near
the end of it Mr.. Abbott had suggested that
the Washington and Georgetown railroad
had a similar case against 1t as the Metro
politan and had settled 1t, WhereuDon MI.
Heard replied 1.-The Washington and George
town Company paid that money only when
they had other important legisla ton pend
ing in the Senate, and they wished to make
fair weather in Congress in order to get
further benefit" Il do not know those
facts" responded Mr. Abbott, but l think
that this company, which also desires to get
the benefit of further legislation, ought to
do likewise"
Against Overhead TrOlleys.
Mr. Walker of Massachusetts was recog-
nized to offer an amendment restricting the
company to the use of electricity in its
underground system. and made a vigorous
.peech against overhead trolleys and in
favor of the underground system. He said:
"Mr. Speaker, the cities of this country
have a perfect network of trolley wires over
their streets. 1t is conceded on all hands
that no other thing could be conceived OF
that would be permitted in streets so dan
eerous to life and property as these over
head trolley wires There is an effort now
heing made and which has been made from
the date when the first trolley Wire was
strung to get these trolley wires out or the
public streets and underground. The diff
entity is not a mechanical one. Inc dill
culty is purely because the great trusts. the
! General Electric Company and the Wessing-
/ house Electric Manufacturing Company,
which are two trusts when they carry out
| their purposes any better by being two
than by being separate and individual, and
which are one great trust when they can
carry out their purposes any better by be-
! ing one trust and combined with the over
head trolley street railroad companies, are
determined that no underground electric
trolley system shall be put in anywhere II
