I. O. O. r. and Fargo Lodge.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Sept. 49,
A committee of the sovereign
grand lodge /. o. o. F., which is in
session in this city, is considering
what promises to be one Of the
most important questions to be
dealt with at this session. 1t is
known as the Fargo, n. D., diff
Guilty.
In 1891, Fargo was visited by a
disastrous fire in which a large
number Of Odd Fellows suffered
loss. The lodge of that city ap-
pealed for aid to the various lodges
of the country, and $4,000 was
contributed, presumably for the
sufferers. The hall of the Fargo
lodge had been burned, however,
and the local committee diverted
some OF the funds to rebuilding
This becoming known to grand
lodges throughout the country
they protested, and at Chattanooga
last year the matter was brought
before the sovereign grand lodge.
A committee from the Fargo lodge
appeared, made an explanation
and were exonerated, but after they
had gone home, the matter was
brought up again, a special com.
mittee reported against the Fargo
committee, and during the closing
hours of the session motion went
through holding the Fargo lodge
responsible and ordering that the
money so Invested should be re-
turned to the various jurisdictions
pro rata.
The feeling seems to be that the
sovereign grand lodge will vote te
make the Fargo lodge return the
money.

The formal opening of &. H. Levy &

ton street, last night, was an event in the
mercantile life of Savannah. Upwards of
10000 people visited the handsome stores
during the day.
What may be called the formal
opening was the reception from 5
to 10 o'clock. Between those hours no
goods were sold and the members of the
firm and their employees devoted them
selves to receiving their visitors. The
handsome stores were decorated from the
entrance to the roof with evergreens, flow
ers. and potted plants. The main entrance
was hlled with palms and behind the plate
glass show windows were rows of bouquets
and floral designs sent from all over the
country to the firm. The chief decora-
tons were by Oelschig and Wolf
Just inside the entrance was an i'm

busy as 1t was, was not forgotten in the
decorations Icons fun orchestra was

During the day every visitor was given
a neat little brochure on The History Of

case comb, inscribed: Souvenir from q.

congratulatory kilograms were received
from their correspondents in the north
and west. In fact, the Inauguration of

butcher and grocer at South Broad and
Jefferson streets. accidentally shot her
self in the head yesterday afternoon about
o'clock. and at a late hour last night
1t was not thought possible for her to live.
In fact. her father had about given her

The accident was strange one. She was

pistol hung in holster which was at
tached to belt, and was put high enough
TO be out OF reach of the children.
Unfortunately the house girl, or some
one IN cleaning up the room, hung the
pistol down lower where the little girl
could reach 1t. For while after dinner
she was playing with her father. and when
her sister came home from school she
played with her. Her father was then

room, and the sister had left her Ii is
supposed she played with the holster until
she round a way to open 1t and get the

on the floor where the little girl had
dropped 1t, and herself where She had
fallen, after the bullet had done its work.
Inc blood was coming from her head and
she was almost unconscious.
Inc first thought of the father was of
medical attention for his daughter, and
picking her up hurriedly in his arms, ne
carried her over to the Office of Dr. r. G.
Norton, where her wound was dressed.
Dr. Norton gave the father little hope. The
