The Congressional Deput-
les Grand Chancellor
Meet in Their First
Annual COnven-
tion, at Co.
lumbus.
Judge 0. w. II. Wright Of Ours, the
Deputy of the 18th Congressional
District, In Attendance.

On Monday last the First Ann
ual ConveItion of the Congressional
Deputies Grand Cha ncellor X. of
p. Domain of Ohio, was held at &C.
lumbus, o. This congressional dis
trict was represented by Deputy
Grand Chancellor Judge 0. w. H..
Wright. This initial convention
was one of the grandest coming to-
gether of the heads of this great
order in the State of Ohio that has
ever been held. The congressional
deputies is new feature of this
fraternal organization, which
brings the subordinate lodges more
closely in touch with the Grand
officers of the state, and we favor
the time and the time will be when
there will be no Grand Lodge
assemblage of eight or nine hun
red each year to make laws, but
that these twenty-one congression-
al deputies with the grand officers
will constitute the grand lodge, and
upon their good judgement will
subordinate lodges in the future be
governed. judge Wright took one
step in this direction in his ad-
dress to the convention on Monday.
He suggested that the Past Chan
cellor's Degree be conferred at the
Congressional Deputy Conventions
as well as the cessions of the Grand
Lodge. One by one the powers of the
grand lodge will assimilate to the
congressional Deputy Conventions,
and we say speed the time, thus
saving thousands of dollars that
are paid out yearly for grand lodges
which money is needed for the *.
of p. widows and orphans home.
Judge Wright was appointed on
the Committee on Rules and VIII
call together in April at Logan,
the Past Chancellors and knights
of this district to eXemplify the
work, and receive instruction as to
the will of those he represents as
to the code of rules and manner
is ms desired.

An Awful Struggle for Life in the
Bottom Of the Murky Ohio
Waters.

For tho past week the high wat
ers on the south end of the G. III. V.
& II. R'y near the Ohio River have
caused much damage to this prop
erty, and the railroad crews have
been busy each day in their en-
deavor to save the company's ef-
fects. On Wednesday Engineer
Warren Bennett and Fireman Rob
ert Smith of this city were engaged
in this duty near Gallipolis. They
had been ordered to load the tres
ties which were nearly under wat
er, with cars to keep them in place.
They had crossed certain trestle
several times in this duty, under
which was ~ feet of still water
backed up from the river, but at II
O'Clock In crossing the same, though
having male the run safely few
minutes before, the trestle gave
way and submerged the engine to
the bottom of the forty foot gulf,
The engineer and fireman went
down in the awful rush, having no
time to leap from the cab. On
reaching the bottom each felt the
other serambling about in the cab
to find an exit, and by the tender
ministration of Providence, each
were permitted to extricate him
self, and rise to the surface of the
water. Smith came up first hav-
ing found exit through the cab
window. He seized u floating log
and knowing by the voice of the
crowd on the shore that he was
tie first to come to the surface, his
first impulse W as return If possible
to the fated locomotive and save
his brother engineer, but Il moment
later Bennett appeared at the sur
face of the water almost exhausted.
Smith, though almost perished,
sprang forward and seized the en-
gineer as he sank again beneath
the murky river. For several min
utes 1t was u struggle between life
and death for both,the faithful fire.

Wolford Stiers was up again be-
fore the council in regard to a ditch
which runs through his property {,
but did not get much satisfaction.
John F. White spoke on the sub
ject and in his opinion he thought
council could do nothing in the
matter as a former council had
purchased the right of way for this
ditch and he didn't feel as though
the present council should be asked
to buy again something that had
already been paid for.
The Cemetery Trustees asked
council that money belonging to
that fund be turned over to the
Treasurer and the clerk was in
structed to attend to the matter.
Councilman j. +. White said q
great deal of complaint was being
made about the water standing in
the cutters which came from a
certain livery stable, and motion
was made and passed instructing
those in power to notify those " no
use the water works for other than
ordinary use that they must con-
meet with the sanitary sewer.
Ga the call for report OF select
committee j. f. White reported
the action taken at the citizens
mass meeting on the Natural Gas
question and made u motion in.

but the motion. was finally put to

the American Railway Unions head
quarters today. They are volunteers
for the army to lay the foundation OF

several thousand capable idle working

The winding up of the affairs of the

The delegates from the labor and

The convention which opened today
will devise ways and means to carry
out the plans of establishing a CO.

The big fight, however. is expected to
occur over the selection of state in

be necessary to refer the whole matter
