WANTS TO WITHDRAW.
COMMISSION MERCHANT VEIN
ERT APPEALS TO THE COURT
TO HOLD LAURADA.

The question as to the withdrawal OF
the consent of William Weinert, who
holds a mortgage against the steamer
Laurada, to the release of the vessel
was argued in the United States Court
before Judge Bradford. Several wit
nesses were examined I'm the case.
Weinert testified that he was com
mission merchant In Philadelphia. and
had given his consent to the release of
the Laurada because he had been given
TO understand that the vessel was to be
put in commission so that she could
pay of the claims against her. The
amount Of Weinert's claim is s7,45S.52.
He got the mortgage through John ID.
Hart, who had been importing ba-
nanas. and he, the witness, had been
selling them for Hart, and took the
mortgage to secure the account
Captain Ker was sworn and said
that when he bought the. steamer he
felt that he might need some ready
money, and asked George Lodge TO
loan him some. Mr.. Lodge consented,
and mortgage for $4,000 was drawn
and placed in the hands of a
ship broker, so It would be ready
whenever the money was needed Mr..
| Ledge never paid any money for the
mortgage. and Mr.. Ker never received
any from him. Mr.. Ker supposed the
mortgage was locked in the ship bro
ker's safe until late last Spring, when
he was notified by Philadelphia law
yer that Weinert held the document
As soon as he was able Mr.. Ker took
steps to have the mortgage satisfied.
Then followed q dialogue between
witness and ex-senator Higgins, coun-
sci for Weinert, concerning the wit
nesses's knowledge about the Laurada
The hearing was resumed this morn
ing. but nothing developed. The cast
was postponed until Monday next L
hear further testimony on the part o
ecrge Lodge. who holds a mortgage ol
the vessel.

OSTENTATIOUS!
WERE THE OBLIGATORY CEREMONIES
OF YALE'S NEW MASONIC TEMPLE.
oRAToRY AND MUSIC FURNISHED AN
EXCELLENT PROGRAM.
TWO Hundred and Forty People Enjoyed
the Banquet at the RapIey House.

the Banquet at the RapIey House.
Thursday of this week was gala
day for the Masonic fraternity of Yale,
it being the dedication of the new hall
of Brockway Lodge, No. 3l6, +. IL A. NJ.
The day dawned clear and bright and
everything pointed to a grand time on
this memorable occasion. Both morn
ing passenger trains brought members
Of the fraternity and their wives and
all during the day rigs drove into town
containing persons who had come to
enjoy the good time which Yale people
| can always provide.
At 200 p. m. the new hall began to
| fill. The room was beautifully deco
rated with ropes of evergreen l0oped
on the walls, lovely bouquets and
potted plants and pictures. A large
square and compass. a star and the
letter 'G" were made up of different
flowers and presented fine appearance.
The dedication services were con-
Quoted by deputy Grand Master Geo.
+. Dutton, master of Pine Grove
Lodge, Port Huron, assisted by others
from Lexington, Port Huron, Ayoca
and Yale. They were very impressive
and interesting. Afterward a social
time was indulged in until five O'clock
when the Masons, headed by the Yale
Cornet Band, marched TO the depot to
meet the Rev. Joshua Stansfield who
was to give the address of the evening.
Returning to the hall all filed in order
and proceeded to the Rapley House
for supper where banquet worthy of
Kings and Queens was placed before
the immense crowd, the long tables
were filled and cleared many times.
About nine o'clock the program was
opened in Masonic Hall by the string
band after which Pearl Scott, of Capac,
gave very fine recitation. Miss Scott
is sister of NJ. Florence Scott who
conducted class in elocution here at
one time. Miss Pearl has had excel
lent training. Rev. Joshua Stansfield
then occupied the time with short
but fOrceful address. The Reverend
gentleman is favorite in Yale. An
other selection by the string band fol-
lowed by recitation by Lura Nc
Kenna. Lura has just recently grad
uated from school of elocution in
Toledo and to say that she does well
is exceedingly faint praise. Lulu
Highs violin solo was a pleasing num-
ber and another recitation by Miss
Scott was delightfully."- listened to and
given an encore. The string band
once more gave fine selection and
Lura McKenna was again called for.
Her style is inimitable and she pleases
the entire audience. Plenty of vocal
music was down on the program but
at the last minute it was found that
sickness prevented several from being
present which was great disappoint-
ment to all.
The day is one long to be remem-
bered in the hearts of every Mason
who worked so faithfully to make it q
success. Everything passed off pleas
antly. A large crowd was present and
all seemed good-natured and well
pleased.

All Night.
The negro has undoubtedly a very
strong inclination to sleep in the day
| and to spend the night in gossip, dane
ing or singing, says the Saturday Re
view. On this account he is often
nuisance to his neighbors. especially
when he has a wake. As his home is
often nothing more than single room
about eight feet square. the funeral
party is conducted in the open yard.
Here congregate fifty or a hundred peo-
pie. who begin the entertainment with
hymns. going on after midnight to
scngs and games and often winding up
toward morning with free fight. Then
there Is the cumfoo dance. one OF the
finest Institutions in the world for pro-
ducing nightmare. Two men beat
drums with their hands, the one in
strument producing a tum-tum and the
other a rattle-rattle, almost without
intermission during the whole night
At intervals OF about minute the
party utters a weird evy in some Afri-
can language which siartles you as
you lie in bed yainly tryins to sleep.
As hour after hour passes your house
appears to vibrate. the bed shakes and
your spine feels as II made OF loose seq
ments. How can the drummers keep
this up for ten hours? And the dan
GERS? With the latter exhaustion alter
mates with the renewal of the orgy:
one set falls down and another takes
its place. This and other dances are
connected with obeah. the witch cult
OF the African, Every negro and most
OF the colored people have an innate
fear of the obeah man. however they
may deny It to the whites One OF the
latest Developments of this superstI-
tion was brought TO my notice short
time ago in connection with cricket
match The East Coast Invincibles and
the Admirable Creolians were to play
a match, and from the few words
dropped by the captain of the latter it
appears that he was sure of victory to
his side because a notable obeah man
had oiled their bat.
