An ImDOSter.

The Weldon News gives warning of
an imposter who is going the rounds
imposing on the Masonic fraternity.
In Petersburg he gave his name as
William Stevens, of Port Huron, Mich.
and stated hal he was a member of
Pine Level Lodge of Masons, of that
city. A telegram was sent to the
lodge, and the reply was to the effect
that Stevens was a fraud and that he
has been making a living this way for
the past twelve years.
\ man answering the above descrip-
ton was in Wilmington yesterday and
called on several MaSOnS for aid. He
doubtless gives a different name in diff
ferent places, but anyhow one of our
prominent MasOns tells us a man called
on him yesterday and represented him
self as belOging to the lodge mentioned
above. He is doubtless the man re-
ferred to by The News, and we men
ton. this SO our citizens may not be
taken in by the sharper.
