by four horses and occupied by two
young soldiers of the regulay army,
Owen McTasney and Zephinin Maurice,
who, having obtained three months fur
Tough from Fort Niobra Station, Ne

country to New York. Two others
started also, but were taken sick on the
way and left, one at Peoria, Ill.,, and the
other at DeBoise Pa. The distance
travelled approaches twenty-five hun
dred miles, a rate of twenty-seven to
thirty miles per day being held through
out the journey. No provisions were
carried, supplies being purchased along
the route. The first named of the party
gave his residence as Orange, and said
that he was going home after an absence
of three and half years in the army.

LOCAL ODD FELLOWS.
Review Of MOrristown Lodges and
Sovereign Grand Proceedings.

Organization of Roxiticus and Morris
Lodges and Enterprise EncamPment-
Original charter of Roxiticus and the
Old Time RegaIia- Convenient Quarters
Of Local Lodges-Interesting Statistics
ON the order in the World
Just now, while public attention is
being attracted to Odd Fellowship, oc-
casioned by the annual sessions of the
Sovereign Grand Lodge now being held
at Springfield, H., it will be of interest
to many to note the history and develop
ment of Odd Fellowship in Morristown.
Although Odd Fellowship in this city
is not fully up to what the members of
thel order desire, still there exist two
subordinate lodges and one encampment
with combined membership of about
three hundred. The encampment
branch is one step higher in the fratern-
ity. Before uniting with this branch of
Odd Fellowship person must be a
member in coed standing of a subordi-
nate lodge. An effort was made few
years ago to organize Rebekah degree
lodge in this city, but the project was
not a success. The Rebekah lodge is
composed Of the wives, sisters and
daughters of members of any subordi-
nate lodge and in some parts of the State
this degree of feminine Odd Fellowship
has grown with considerable rapidity.
Roxiticus Lodge, No. 9S, /. 0. 0. F.,
the oldest lodge Of the order in this coun-
ty, was organized on February 18th, 1850,
with the following officers: Isaac A.
Canfeld (of the late firm of Garfield &
Legderwood, proprietors of Speedwell
Iron Works., noble grand; David G..
Tappen, vice grand; Augustus w. Bell,
formerly Prosecutor of the Court of
Common Pleas, secretary; Isaac A..
BlauveIt, assistant secretary; Captain
Dorastus D. Logan, treasurer. During
the late war the lodge passed through
somewhat stringent circumstances and
it was with great difficulty that the
members held together, but the organi-
cation rallied, and to-day is one of the

Returns of Tuesdays special election
on the Constitutional Amendments pro-
posed by the last Legislature show that
they are lost by total majority in the
State of about 1000, the heaviest Ivote
being against the anti-gambling amend

ganization of the so-called honorable citi-
zens of the State who are opposed to
race track gambling and the lottery
business, handicapped by the astonishing
apathy of the voters in the rural coun-
ties proved to be small match for the
well organized and capitalized forces of
darkness and dishonesty, and the amend
ment was balloted out of sight for the
next five years to come, and that on the
lightest vote ever polled in New Jersey.

hard at work and the numerous details
connected with the great undertaking
are being carefully considered. Contri-

earned a reputation as one of the best in
the state and its home record is SO well
known that there should be no difficulty
in securing the balance required. The
hospitality of Morristown, whether it be
to visiting veterans or fremen, is pro-
verbal and the ensuing celebration will
be no exception.
