MASONIC MUTUAL ROW
PETITION TO HAVE THE AsSIGNEEs
REMOVED HEARD YESTERDAY.
Further Postponement in the Krag-
Reynolds Inquiry Asked-suit for
Damages--COurt Briefs.

Judge Allen, Of the Circuit Court yester-
day heard in chambers the petition to re-
move Harold c. Megrew and Irwin Robbins
as assignees of the Masonic Mutual Benefit
Society. o. II. Carson represented the Pc
titioners, Edward and Mary zook, and
Smiley n. Chambers, attorney for the So
ciety, appeared for the assignees.
1t was charged that Megrew, who had
been manager of the Masonic Mutual Bene-
fit Society, was unfit to serve as assignee
because of former mismanagement of the
affairs of the order. 1t was charged that
favoritism had been shown in paying off
claims of members; that in one month in
1886 one person with a claim of $500 had
been paid $500, while another claimant had
received $70O. Attorney Chambers admit
ting there had been some difference in the
manner of settlement, declared this was not
due to favoritism, but was rather the eff
feet of pursuance of a mistaken policy. Mr..
Megrew said the board of directors of the
society always decided the manner in which
payments should be made. The directors
always acted in the way they deemed best
for the society 1t was admitted that
claims were settled in some localities with
q view to keeping down criticism. This was
more especially true of localities where the
order was strong and there were many good
paying members. Mr.. Megrew said it had
also been the policy to make settlements in
manner to prevent suits if it was thought
suit was likely to be brought by claimant.
Attorney Carson told the court that since
the petition for the removal of the as
signees had been filed he had received a
communication from DR.. Isaac Haas, of
Evansville. DR.. Haas's letter was turned
over to the court who read 1t without max
ing known the contents. Attorney Cham
BILE for many of the complaints against the
society. Judge Allen, after perusing the
letter. said he could see nothing in it to
warrant the charges against Mr. Megrew.
The court then went on to say that while
he was satisfied that claims had been paid
in an irregular manner, there was no
ground for charges against Mr.. Robbins
AS to Mr.. Megrew, the court was satisfied
that the board of directors were largely re-
sponsible for his manner of conducting the
business While Mr.. Megrew was the man
ager and secretary of the order, it was to
be supposed he carried out the instructions
of the directors. The court intimated how
ever that he saw no reason why it should
require two assignees to administer the at
would take no action on the petition for re-
moval at this time but would hold the mat
ter under Amusement.
Mr.. MegreW stated that 1t was through
no choice of his own that he became an
assignee for the society. His attorney said
| the assignee had given up a better position
| to act for the society, because it was felt
| that he was familiar with its business Mr..
Robbins said he only accepted the place
with the understanding that he was to act
with some one who was familiar with the
hooks.

excellent rnqdicine | should be on my back.
l take great pleasure in writing this letter,
because so many people are suffering from
this trouble who, like myself, did not know
whore to look for a permanent, reliable,
safe cure sae4
Experience with the Pyramid Pile Cure in
the past three years has demonstrated to
the medical profession, as well as TO thou
sands of sufferers from piles, put it is the
safest and most effectual pile cure ever of
fered to the public, containing no opiates
or poisons of any kind, painless and con-
venent to handle. and being sold by drug
gists at 80 cents and 81 per box. is within
the reach of every sufferer.
Very frequently two or three boxes have
made complete cure of chronic cases that
had not yielded TO other remedies for years.
There is scarcely a disease more aggra-
waiting and obstinate TO cure than the vari-
Gus forms of piles, and it is a common prac-
tice to use ointmants saves and similar
preparations containing dangerous polsons
to remove the trouble. The Pyramid has
superseded all of these intellectual remedies
and no one suffering with any rectal trouble
will make any mistake in giving the Pyra-
mid a trial.
If in doubt as to the nature of your
trouble send to the Pyramid Drug Co, Mar
shall, Mich, for o valuable little book on
piles, describing all forms of the disease
and describing the method of cure.
Any druggist can furnish the Pyramid
Pile Cure, as it is the best known and most
popular remedy for piles. and IL you ask
him he can doubtless refer you to many
people In your vicinity who have been
cured completely by it.

Inquiry among passenger officials at this
point shows that without exception. every
indianapolis line did a much better business
in January this year than in January, 1897.
Receipts from sales of tickets were in ex-
cess of last year and in tonnage of freight

phcable. Since Jan. ] there has been a
steady increase at Indianapolis in revenue
from both the freight and passenger de-
partments, and there is good authority for
stating that Indianapolis has shown better
gains than any other terminal or local point
rrcportionately. There is one singular fact
spoken of by one OF the passenger officials,
which is that business has increased in
greater percentage at terminal points than
at local stations. To this there are but Few
exceptions, and those are in the Indiana gas
belt territory The receipts from the sales
of tickets by the Big. -Four, the Cincinnati.
Hamilton & Dayton, the Monon and the
Pennsylvania and Vandalia lines and of the
Lake Erie q Western run several THOUSAND
dollars ahead of those of January, 1897, and
the shipments last month from the stock
yards, the packing houses and the manu-
factories of cerealine products were the
largest on record. The shipments of horses
and export cattle exceeded one hundred
carloads, and the shipments of dressed
meats and provisions averaged fully forty
cars a day. The furniture and carriage
works last month shipped double the num-
Der of carloads OF their product, compared
with January, 1897, and the commission
houses did so per cent. more business than
in January last year, the weather being
moro favorable to the handling of perish
able goods. The malleable iron works, the
iron foundries, the stove works and engine
builders all made shipments largely in ex-
