TRIBUTE OF RESPECT, AT g regu-
lar meeting Of Robert White Lodge
held on Saturday, January 5,the fol
lowing preamble and resolutions were
unanimously adopted : The Reaper
Death, with his sickle keen has en-
tered the tiled recesses of our Lodge
room at time when we least ex-
pected him and cut down in the Wig
or of manhood our cherished broth
er, c. Albert Quenzel, and we are
called upon once more to assemble
together as Masons in the Temple of
Mourning, sad though it be, to pay
the last tribute Of respect to his
memory.
We loved him as q man and broth
er Mason, for he was good and true,
gentle and kind, and could we have
staid the decree Of our Supreme
Grand Master bat for a little while
how gladly we would have done it.
But we console ourselves with the
blessed thought that his spirit now
separated from its casket Of clay is
basI<ing in the bright sunlight of an
endless dav. Brother Quenzel was
an honest man and always strove to
do the right in dealing with his fell
low man. He was always ready to
respond to the call of charity and
relieve the wants of those in distress,
and he will long be remembered for
his kindness and liberality. He was
jealous Mason and consistent
member of Robert White Lodge for
almost score of years We deeply
deplore his death and will keenly feel
his loss and shall not soon forget his
familiar face. We tender our sincere
sympathy to the family Of our de-
ceased brother in this their hour of
grief and sadness. But while we
mourn we are not without hope, for
the thought so sweet and consoling
that death to the righteous is only
the beginning of new and better
life, and a path that must be trod, if
we would ever pass to God. May we
hope that be has only gone before to
that unknown and silent shore, for
''There is no death;
What seems SO is transition,
This life of mortal breath
Is but suburb OF the life Elysian,
Whose portal we call death.r
Ordered that this be spread upon
the minutes of the Lodge and copy
be furnished the family of our de-
ceased brother and it be publish d n
the city papers, and that We wear the
usual badge OF mourning for 80 days.

GOVERNOR M'CORKLE MESSAGE
Upon the organization of the
State Senate and House of Dele
gates, about the first thing presented
for consideration was GovernorMac-
CorkIe's message. It contains over
$4,000 words and many suggestions
and improvements III our public laws
and institutions. He recommends
entirely new school laws, abolishing'
Independent school districts, new
militia laws, the substitution Of dis
francbisement and ireligibility to of
fee of a voter found guilty of selling
his vote for the present penalty, the
establishment of the Office of Fish
and Game Warden in place of a fish
commission, and the revision of
State laws relative to insurance COM
panies and building and loan asso-
Citations. The message further states
"the condition of the State to be I'M
exampled in her history. Her fl
nances are in the best condition; her
growth in material prosperity is al
most without q precedent; her insti
buttons haye@been managed with an
eye single to the good of the State
and if there is any corruption in any
official board or State institution it
has so far escaped the most rigid in,
vestigation. Our sister states look
with surprise when they see our won
derful progress on the road to pros
perity and wealth. Our own people.
who thought they knew, and correct
ly estimated, our hidden wealth, are
amazed when the hands Of progress
have disclosed to them treasures of
which they had not the faintest con-
panfiOn

question IS msde, followed b. an in
genious and equitable proposition as
to tic share OF the debt that West
Virginia should assume.
1t is CRAFTY to be regretted thas
the matter cannot be settled in the
proper eourtoflaw, but, as is pointed
out in tic article referred to, this is
impossible because We t Yirginia's
constitution exp. essly forbids the
State from teconing a def nd2as
either ut law or equity. We agree
with lie author that it is . risky
business to submit the question to a
partisan legislature for settlement
much less 70 commission that has
been or may be created at the in
stance Of interested SPECTATORS. We
do not think that the fact that this
matter is still unsettled has the
slightest preiudical influence to the
prosperity OF our State, nor do we
believe that it ca IS stigma upon
our fair fame.
Tue conclusion offered is g SQUAD
one: To let the whole subject be de
liberately and intelligently discussed
by the people of West Virginia snd
then have them vote upon a plan or

wise and patriotic labors of an intelli

FIRE LIMIT AND PROTECTION.
The common council OF the Cor

boundary lines within which, none
bat brick or proof buildings can be

sent of the council. Their action
Was necessitated by the many fires
originated from old frame or plaster

been taken years ago. The ordi-

so large a city; it is this kind of

Jay Goaid's Estate.

New YORK, Jan. THE estate Of
Jay Gould has been appraised ia its.
personal property for the purpose of
taxation in thu Surrogate's Court.
Appraiser David Mcclure has pre-
pared report, in which be finds
that the estate is worth exactly $780,
634,58O 70, aside from its two mil
lion dollars in realty. This value is
given as of the date of the death of
the testator. The appraiser finds,
however, that it should be taxed for
about $6,000,000 less this amount,
as he decides that the estate of Geo.
j. Gould owns that much of Jay
Gould's estate because of the SER
vices Of young George for twelve
years for half a million dollars a
year. Mr.. Mcclure said that Gould,
by his codicil executed November
81, 1891, made this provision for
George, and the appraiser SAG 5 that
Jay Gould could not have intended
to invade the tax Of the Surrogate's
Court proceedings, as Jay Gould
could have given the securities over
to his son before his death.
