A large attendance turned out last night
at the regular meeting OF Manufacturer
Lodge, L. q. q. h. The important busi-
ness was the election OF Cffcers for the
ensuing year. The nominations were
all i'm and there were at least four
candidates for every important Office.
The interest was chiefly in the election OF
the vice grand, who succeeds the year fol-
lowing his term of office to the position
OF noble grand. Albert Ii. Taylor will be
the noble grand for the following year.
J. p. Thompson, Jr., of the
firm of Thompson Brothers,
had good majority for the position OF
vice grand. The ther officers were elected
as follows: Recording secretary, John Il.
Bowen; treasurer, Jossph Cough, z. g.;
permanent secretary, john W. Lewis;
trustees, Andrew w. Smith, Il.
Thomas Walsh; hall committee, William
Little, +. q. Ii was voted TO hold public
installation OF the officers elected on the
first Tuesday in January. This will be
the first public installation for five years.
He Left His Trail.
The way George II. Bean, the we'll
known grain dealer OF Plainfield street,
tracked thief this morning reads like a
fairy story, but IL is true, nevertheless.
AS he won't TO his store he mo-
ticed plain line of kornels
OF corn, leading directly away from IL.
This aroused his suspicious and he found
on investigation OF his grain room, that a
two bushel bag Of corn was missing. So
he started 20 follow the trail, which was
we'll defined for about hundred yards,
when It suddenly became much
fainter, though ii was plain enough to fol-
low. Evidently the leak in the bag had been
discovered and the purloiner had tried TO
stop the waste, wish ng, undou btedly, TO
get the full worth of his labor. The
trail led TO a house on
the Andrews plat and the very
least kernel was discovered reposing
serenely on the doorstep OF this house. or
course this was evidence plain enough, so
that the only loss Mr.. Bean will sustain
will be the leakage which enabled him to
trace his property.
Two Runaways.
A pair OF horses attached to an empty
carry all dashed down Broadway into Oh
NEVILLE square last evening, narrowly es-
Gaping a dozen collisions. They finally
brought up against an electric car near
Bough street, the only damage being the
breaking of a wheel.
A defective harness caused another run
away on Manton avenue this morning.
The horse started about mile from the
square and ran TO the bridge which marks
the division line between Johnston and
Providence, ~ here mo was stopped NO
damage.
Robbed CIothesline.
The clothesline of DIR. X. p. Eddy OF
Laurel Hill avenue was robbed on Mon
day evening, several more or less valuable
articles being taken.
The Branch Market.
1880 Westminster street is the cheapest
place in the State to get your meats and
the reason is that We buy in large lots
which fact enables Us to sell about 20 per
cent. lower than our compet-
itors. In muttons and lambs we will sur
prise the customers this Friday and Sat-
urday. Pork and hams cannot be any
lower than They are now. We have
five thousand pounds OF pork
shoulders smoking for this weeks
trade, that we will sell for Sc.
Fine hams for only 10c. Lots OF fresh
fish of all kinds for the lowest market
prices. Now don't forget to call and be
surprised at the wonderfully low prices.
Branch Market, 1880 Westminster street,
