MASONIC GRAND LODGE.
Animal session at Wheeling Last
Week.

The project to establish a Masonic
Home in West Virginia, was de- ba ted
at considerable length. Similar in.
situations are in existence IN other

Homes were a source of ~siderab HE
expense to the fraternity in the re.
spective States. The Grand Lodge
finally decided to make an appronria
t'on of $4,000 toward a fund for the
establishment of the Home.
The souvenir buttons, containing a
likeness of Odell 5. Long. were very
popular among the representatives.
md all will return to their homes win
buttons upon their coat lapels.

Campbell said to Boyce: what do you
accepted?"
Boyce replied that he wanted him to
write letter to the president to the ef-
feet that he would vote for Hanna.
Boyce then wrote telegram to Presi-
dent reading: For the best interests OF
Ohio and the Republican party, l VIII
cast my vote for M. A. Hanna for sena-
tor for the short and long terms"
This telegram Campbell was to submit
TO Otis, and if the latter accepted the
proposition he was to sign 1T and the
telegram to be returned to Boyce, who
was to forward it to the president.
Mr.. Campbell carried the telegram
away with him and showed 1t to Jared
Bliss, who agreed to copy the telegram
and sign Otis name to it, which was
done. At the next meeting the telegram,
or, rather, a copy of 1t, was shown TO
Boyce and he was told that Otis had
finally consented, and that there was the
telegram. Campbell said to Boyce:
you will now pay $1750 and $3.50 when
YOU reach Columbus whereupon Boyce
counted out $3.50 more. Campbell said:
"This does not make $780," Boyce re-
piled: "You have already got $1,000, and
this makes the $780,"
Campbell replied: II thought the
$1,000 was my fee"
Boyce replied that he could not give
more at that time, as he could not let
it cost more than $4,000 at that time, al
though Otis was to get $6500 more when
Hanna was elected.
Mr.. Campbell then demanded re-
ceipt, which Boyce did not care to give,
although q receipt was finally written
for the $175O already paid and the addi-
tional $1750 which was to be paid on
reaching Columbus. Campbell said he
would take the $3.50 and the receipt and
show them to Otis, to which Boyce
agreed.
The plan was that Campbell, Boyce
and Otis were to meet the next morning
at o'clock and come to Columbus. Boyce
did not show mp. and on later train
than had at first been intended Campbell
came to Columbus with Mr.. Otis. The
witness here, in response to request,
produced the $1750 that he claimed
Boyce had paid to him. He said that if
Boyce would return to Hamilton coun-
ty he would give him back the money,
although he might use a part of it if
Boyce did not return, in paying the ex-
penses of the lawsuit he had started
against Il paper.
