The Fraternal Situation.

The clOgglng of the wheels of business and
almost positive cessation OF many regular avo-
cations. coupled with the inevitable stoppage
OF revenue TO thousands, must and Will have Its
effect Immediately upon the prosperity OF the
great fraternities, and especially those whose
laws imperatlVely demand the payments OF
assessments al given dat of the month or the
forfeiture of beneficiary privileges. This is
fraternal city and State. 1t is no exaggeration
to say that three-fOurths Of the respectable ctti
zens belong TO some fraternity, and large per.
centage are conn cted with what may he
termed practical benefit orders, guarantyng
payments weekly in event Of sickness and
death. or course these orders can only fulfill
their obligations by the p Ompt and conttn ued
payments of their membership. and hence laws
must b positive and imperative that in such
orders as the A. o. U. W.. X. of h., A. L. OF H.,
and simitar fraternlties, gUarantying moneys in
sums OF $4,000 or more at death, dues and
assessments must be paid by each and every
one on the dates named each month.
Men paid by the mouth and drawing their
money, say ON the LIST, Immediately set apart
the necessary sums for these purposes. ana
others reserve. week by week, from their earn
ings the required amounts.
just at this time there are hundreds Of men
whose wages are due that cannot obtain the
payment, and many others, dependent upon
daily labor aud salaries, by the untoward state
of affairs, have been temporarily discharged,
from the fact that there is nothing for them TO
do.
1t IS unnecessary to analyze or argue what is
patent to all. The question for ref ctoa is
what should be the attitude Of the fraternities,
especially the assessment orders, when the date
of monthly payment comes and from causes
well understood, membership have ever been
prompt are unable TO pay. The laws impera-
lively susp nd unless payment Is made. and 1t
is requisite iE ider TO preserve the system an d
the treasures that payment should be made
How and by whom? No more striking Illustra-
tion OF the fact that these are fraterna as
we'll as business associations could be given
than by an agreement and action 10 use for a
time a part of the general fund or outside as
sets to keep in standing those who are In the
unfortunate position alluded 10. Keep good
members in standing by temporary loan. ana
suffer no one overtaken by the lie-up 10 forfeit
his membership.

BICYCLE RUN.

On Wednesday morning the announce
msnt that number of bicycle riders from
New Market and Mt. Jackson wonld re-
Law q message from the Editors Of the
Shenandoah Talley at New Market TO the
editors of the Shenandoah Herald at
Woodstock, aroused considerable interest
among our people, who were anxious to
sec whether the record made last week by
the members Of the Woodstock Cycle
Club. who carried a message over the
same route, would bs lowered. Between
9 and 10 O'Clock q crowd had Nam and
Court streets to watch for appearance of
the last relay as he turned over the sum-
nit of the hill at the south end of town.
The dispatch left New Market at 8 a. M,
and as the minutes began to strlug ont
after 10 o'clock tho interest deepened. At
last grosp Of wheelmen were seen COM
ing over the hill, and ]. Z. Windle, es-
cortsd by a number OF the Woodstock Club
came swiftly down Maiu street dropping
the message into Capt. Jno. H. Grabilps
hand at twenty seven minutes and three
quarter seconds after ten o'clock. II
last rider had the hardest run Of the trip
his ride being from the Narrows above
Willow Grove to this point which in
cluded the long hill south of Willow
Grove.
Although the Woodstock Club brought
the message through in nine minutes and
some seconds less TINS thar the above il
must be remembered that they had
eleven riders whils the last run W as made
with eight.
We hope the boys Will keep this thins
up and see how much the time can be re
duced.
The riders who brought the message
were: Mark Minnck, J. C. Lindolo
Jack Bradford, Jno. Whitmire, Lee
Brenaman, J. H. Proctor, joe Snyder anC
j. E. wiDdle.
The following is the message:
NEW MARKET, Sept &c. 1894.
To TIE HERALD,
Woodstock, Va:
Emulation is lively and generous; envy
base and malicious
The Woodstock cycle club bore our frs
message to you. 1t is now followed, il
friendly emulation, by other cyclists
(Mr. Robt. Bradford, direoior.) with tn,
hopes, that "the records may be lower
ed, and that the utility of BICYCLES 70
rapid transit, be again demonstrated.
With very best wishes for your health
wealth and happiness-not always full!

A Bold Burglary.


A bold burglary occurred at CABIN Hill,
or Gainesville as it Is now known, on
Sunday night, by gang of four or FIVE
men, who entered the store of Mr.. Noah
Coffman and blew open his safe securing
sixty dollars in cash, check for SIX dol
lars and eleven cents, and a railroad
ticket to New York and return.
Messrs. Chas. Dodson and J. W.
Stickley, we'll known young men of that
section, had been out calling on the ladies,
and passing t5e store between aud 2
o'clock, in the morning saw light in
side. Surprising Mr. Coffman to be in
they rode up and stopped in front Of the
building where they were met by several
of the gang, who with drawn pistols COM
PEELED them to go inside where they tied
their hands behind them and to an ak
helye down the back of one and an cd
coal-oil pump down the back of the other.
Thev then gagged them by stufiing their
months with cotton and tying bandsge
tightly over them. They then robbed
Stickley of his watch and nine dollars,
but allowed Dodson to keep bis watch, he
pleading that it was his mothers. They
them left them 10 their uncomfortable
fix until Mr. Coffnan released them about
O'Clock. AS both gentlemen had been
out counting they don't hesitate to say
that the first part of the night was far
more pleasant than the last.
With the exception of the articles noted
above nothing else has been missed. In
blowing open the safe the force OF the ex.
ploson was so great that the heavy iron
door was blown through a window. There
IS no clew to the robbers as far as We ca .
learn, but we hope no pains or expense
will be spared to overhaul them as they
