dues was declared by our Bro. AXE
and others nothing but fair. and as a
motion to that effect was lost, Bro.
Axe moved to reconsider the vote, but
his motion being declared out of order,
he having voted for the proposition,
he induced another member TO make
| this motion, and it was carried. A
week after We were notified that such
action would be unlawful for No. 107,
and the n. G. Chas. Arnoldy. advised
us to fix this matter in way of a do
nation solely in our Lodge. then it
would be all right The Secretary OF
No. 107 was the y. D. &. NJ. who. in
this capacity gave the stated Import
ant division. Thanks for your con-
fession. that We were wrongfully ad-
vised by the d. d. G. NJ. who was
Secretary of No. 107.
| must here confess too, that before
the consolidation. honey was smeared
round our mouths by No. l07, and af-
ter we were bound, took wire brush
to scrape it off again.
Correct you are. that at our last
meeting in June, '95, wrote in the
minutes ''no quorum" of Pilot Knob
Lodge members. The Secretary of
No. 107, knowing that this meeting
was of Importance for his Lodge, vis-
iting our Lodge, declared that he, un-
der such circumstances as ID. d. G. NJ.
could open any subordinate Lodge, aud
he did open in regular form. The ac-
tions of Lodge opened in regular
form are legal. But. if the actions of
that meeting were illegal, the con.
Solidation in all its particulars is ille-
gal also.
The Committee appointed by Iron
Lodge, to examine the books, had no
business whatever, to peep into our
Minute Book, it is the record of the
transactions of Pilot Knob Lodge, and
both Lodges had no intercommunion
whatever, it was confined to examine
the correctness of the entries accord
Ing to the vouchers presented. The
donation of $3.50 to our Treasurer was
made from the savings and the prop
erty OF Pilot Knob Lodge, being quite
independent from Iron Lodge, and be-
fore there was any surity that con-
solidation would be effected.
Finally, please answer plain ques-
tion, you can do it even If the Grand
Master faileth to answer it:
Where, 10 the name Of common
sense is the contempt for non-appear-
ance in Ironton on December 10Th, '96,
when summon for this appearance
reached me December goth in Poplar
Bluff. which must be punished with
expulsion?
From whose report explains the
Grand Master his approval of my ex-
pulsion for this impossible crime,
when he wrote: AFTER examining fully
into your case, find that you had no.
tice of your expulsion from the Order,
etc." which is not true. Who has
sent this notice? When and where is
it sent to?
Now, my former Bro. confess too.
that | am right with my remark, Iron
Lodge wanted the money only of Pilot
Knob Lodge, but not its members. af-
ter the Treasurer was unrightful dis
posed of, the old Secretary, anything
else but the Treasurer's alleged coadju-
tor, had 10 go under all circumstances.
the leaving of others would follow; and
it did. making this illegal consolida-
tion a very valuable TRANSACTION for
Iron Lodge. CHAs. MAsCHMEYER.
