KNIGHTS OF HONOR.

 Grand Lodges Annual Session Held in
 Turn Hall Yesterday-The Proceedings.
 The annual session of the grand lodge of the Knights Of Honor of Connecticut was held in Turn hall yesterday. Grand Director George W. Dains of East Liteh- field presiding. About 100 delegates from the various lodges in the state were present. The grand director made the following recommendations in his annual report: < "First-That the grand director be paid salary of $1o0 in addition to his expenses and that he be required to visit each subordinate lodge at least once.
 "second-That the grand director be authorized to continue the experiment. of offering prizes for securing new mem- bcrs.
 "Third-A change in the rule requlr- ing the grand dictator to call two meet lngs of the grand officers and directors of the subordinate lodges, and instead have him call one meeting of the grand officers and dictators and subordinate lodges as soon as practicable after the officers of the subordinate lodges have been installed.
 T believe that a meeting of the grand officers and deputies whereby series of visitations could be arranged to take place during the time of installation of new officers would be of untold benefit and more than repay the slight expense of such meeting"
 The report of the grand reporter C. W. Skin of Danbury shows that the total membership is 2.OS5, and during the past year there have been 24 deaths, Il withdrawals, TIT members suspend ed and six expelled. The report also shows that the total receipts are 3D. 450.SO, of which $293.44 was a balance from the year previous. The disburse- ments were $1,944.50, leaving balance of s30630.
 The report of the grand treasurer, James H. Kelsey of Middletown, shows receipts of s2,45434 and expenses of 1,94O.50, leaving balance in the treas
 
 admitted, including Charles Hendrick- son and Henry A. Loveland of Woolsey lodge and William T. Radon of Stueben lodge, this city. During the session Supreme Dictator Marsden Bellamy of Wellington, N. C., made an address, which was highly enjoyed. At the af- ternoon session the following were elect ed officers for the ensuing year: Grand Dictator-George w. Dains of East Litchfield. Grand vice dictator-R. A. Spencer of Meriden.

REYNoLDsvILLE, Sept. 4, 1894.
EDITOR STAR
To the many readers Of your valuable
paper would like to state the condi-
tion Of things at Big Soldier mine. On
the 10th of last month the machines
stopped, owing to change contemplate
ed by the company. Now these men
are still idle, about 95 In all. Itappears
Big Soldier miners are the only parties
held responsible for the trouble existing
between machine workers and company,
or 1t plainly shows IL to be so when our
superintendent informed our bank com.
mittee on Friday last that Big Soldier
would run no more until machine trOu-
BILE was settled. 1t Is we'll known upon
whom the responsibility rests, for the
offer made machine miners was one
cent ton, or more, short of other places
under same company, or at least under
stood TO be so. 1t is common report
that our superintendent only desires To
have machine coal mined In Big Soldier
as cheap as other mines near by. Why
don't he come up to the mark? We, as
miners Of Big Soldier, condemn any
such action as placing all the blame OF
existing trouble on them and shutting
Big Soldier down on account OF that.
Now, to the readers of these columns,
think the true reason Of Big Soldier
being stopped Is on account OF the bad
state the ventilation is In, and II our
superintendent can rest the blame of
the stoppage of work on the miners of
Big Soldier for aiding and supporting
the machine men 1t would take a load
of the company's shoulders and enable
them to make these very much needed
improvements. Now am sure that 1t
is the desire OF the miners in this vicin-
ity that more pleasant relations should
exist between them and us, but all we
request is fair play and fair representa-
tion before the public. We are not the
dissatisfied lot of people that some would
like to make us out to be. Give us any
thing like reasonable treatment and
everything would run smoothly along.
Now we hope and pray that fairness
will hold place in all our dealings to-
gether from this time, and let us put
behind us those things that open the
breach existing between operator and
employee. Praying these few lines
may set others to thinking, I remain
Yours,
WITNrECc

Four Trips q Day.

We mentioned last week that the
business men of Reynoldsville proposed
to run free hack between Reynolds
vile and Rathmel, distance of three
miles, to accommodate the people Of
Rathmel who want to come to town to
buy goods. Ed. G. Burns, the livery
man, is to run the hack for four dollars
per day and will make four trips every
day except Sunday, two trips in the
forenoon and two in the afternoon.
The hack is to be paid for by forty
business men paying 10 cents apiece
per day. Mr.. Burns will buy q new side
seat, canopy topped hack especially for
the work. The business men are not
putting the hack on to haul people from
Rathmel here and return just for the
fun Of the thing, but expect to accom-
modate those who come here to buy
goods.

Didn't Give II.

The members of the Keystone band

which they did not give because only
about 25 tickets were taken in at the

money to make the last payment on

Big Soldier.

Big Soldier was shut down last Fri
day for an indefinite period. The COM
pany gave notice two weeks ago that
the iron men would be let by contract
again. There was some dissatisfaction
about this and the iron men have been
idle since. We were informed by Mr..
Elliott, general manager, that the mine
stopped work on account Of the iron
men not working, and that work would
not be resumed In Big Soldier until the
iron men were put TO work. A commu-
nicati0n In another column Of this issue
signed by WITNESS" claims the mine Is
idle for other reasons.
The difficulty about the iron men was
settled yesterday afternoon.
