KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAs.-The Su-
preme Lodge of Knights of Pythias
of the United States has been in
session el this week at Cleveland
Ohio. The main work to be consid
cred is the adoption of the ritual
whether the German ritual shall be
allowed, and the almost universal
sentiment is against it. Another
question is the Incorporation of the
Uniform Rank.
The change Of the place of meet
ing for the Supreme Lodge from
Minneapolis to Cleveland is likely to
be Investigated. At the time the
change was made it was asserted
that the refusal OF the railroads to
grant one cent a mile rate was the
cause. 1t is now said that no such
rate was given for Cleveland, and
some of the Minnesota Knights ex-
press a determination to ascertain
what was the real reason for the
change. In the Supreme Chancel-
lor's report the receipts for the year
ending 1895 were shown to be over
100000, and expenditures 50 500,
600. The number of new lodges in
stituted since last report were 6 ,494,
and the number of new members IN
it;ated 103,l92. The session and
parades made attracted ever $4,000

WooLEN Mills CLOSES Down.
The Crawford Wooden Mills, of this
city, greatly surprised its employees
lasI Thursday by an entire discon-
tinuance OF business and closing
down OF work. This was not antiei-
pated, and Mr. I. s. Dunn, the man
ager, when interviewed, stated that
the closing down was due to a short
dull season, and they had concluded
to give their employees much need
ed rest. Whether this is true re.
mains to be seen. Many Of the en-
ployes think they will not be called
on to go to work for several months.
This is gloomy state of affairs, and
we hope the company will begin
work very soon.

epidemics OF dysentery in different

Asiatic cholera. Heretofore the best
efforts OF the most skilled physicians

that two young men were lost in the
Swan Pond woods upon returning

at Shepherdstown after midnight.
The following issue of the INDEpEN-

the two young men, contradicting
the greater part of it, which the
writer of the first article seems to
think was detrimental to his charac-

We will just state it was published

THE DEAL Could Nor BE MADE
A gentleman went to the Office of a
Hagerstown lawyer the other day to
borrow $4,000, offering as security a
mortage on a $4,000 property. The
lender demanded that the words
payable in gold'' be inserted in the
mortgage. The borrower said he did
not object. A fter the mortgage vas
drafted the lender drew up a check
for $4,000. The borrower scanned
it and, handing it back, demanded
that it be made payable in GOLD, ssy-
ing, since he was obliged to pay
back in gold, he thought it justice
that he should oe paid in gold. The
lender said his banker would not
cash the check in gold, whereupon
the borrower tore up his mortgage
and the lender tore up his check.
The deal could not be made. The
borrower had nc difficulty, however,
in getting $4,000 on a $4,000 prop
erty, and he was not required to pay
