Temple Shaken to
Foundations.
THE END IN SIGHT.
Money and Pledges May
Very Likely be Returned.

The foundations of the proposed Ma
sonic temple, never very substantial,
totter again
There was an important meeting of
the committee of SO at Masonic head
quarters, last night. The action taken.
If there was any, was carefully guard
ed by all of those present, but the bust
ness was of sufficient Importance to
keep most of the members in session
until after midnight and several until
between 1 and 2 o'clock this morning.
1t will be no surprise if the money
and pledges for the new temple fund
are returned today For some time
there has been a strong minority of
the members of the committee of 80 in
favor of such action, but vote to this
end has been prevented by the others
who have remained away from the
meetings and so prevented a quorum.
There was a determined effort week
ago last night to secure a quorum Of
the committee and vote to return the
money and pledges and wind uD the
business of the committee. Sixteen
members were in session for nearly two
hours and hacks were sent all over
town to secure the attendance of one
more member to make the Ii necessary
Tor quorum The effort failed,
though there We're more than half a do
zen members within easy reach Of the
hall. Had the 18th man been found,
the committee would have voted to re-
turn the money pledged and subscrib-
ed for the temple fund and the commit
tie of 81 would now be on it way to dis
solution.
The action of the obstructionists was
based on the hope that Goddard coun-
ell and Lawrence Chapter, which met
Monday night would endorse the propos-
ed amendments to the bylaws. This
hope was dashed to the ground by the
FAILURE of Goddard council to accept
these changes. A four-fifths vote was
necessary and out of e. members Of
the council present only & or 43 votes
We're cast in the affirmative. The by
laws of the council decree
that favorable action shall be taken
by four-hfths of those present, and so
the proposed amendments failed.
As soon as this vote was announced,
it was felt by many of the staunchest
friends of the temple project that the
last hope had vanished. The commit
tee of SO reorganizes tomorrow night
and 10 new members replace as many
of the old ones.
Most of the new men were elected by
bodies opposed to the changes in the
bylaws as proposed by the committee
and adopted by only two of the Ma
sonic bodies.
Unless the committee goes out of ex-
istence of its own accord, as it has
the power to do, before the annual
meeting tomorrow night, it is possible
for the faction opposed to the bylaws
to control the new committee of SO and
upset all of the plans of the past three
years,
1t was rumored last night that the
old committee had taken the bull by
the horns and had voted to return the
money and pledges and to dissolve the
corporation.
If this is the case, there =, little show
for Masonic temple in Worcester for
years to come.

A NEW RULE.
Proposed to Make Abutters Sign OFF Dam
ages Before Street is Made Public.

The committee on streets, on the part
of the city government, met in room 80
at the city hall last evening, and con-
sidered several matters left over from
last years city government. There
was considerable discussion of the
question of land damage cases, and it
Is probable that as a result of this dis
cussion, an order will be introduced at
the meeting of the city government
next Monday evening, requesting the
city solicitor to draft a new rule for
the making of streets public. 1t is pro-
posed that when a petition Is presented
to the government, asking for the max
ing public of a street. there shall also
be filed with the petition a release in
full signed by the abutting owners of
all land damages that may result from
such making public. Recently there
have been a large number Of these pc
titions, and the city has been put to
great expense, and it is to avoid this
expense that it is proposed to adopt
new rule.
The committee voted to recommend
that the order relative to the sidewalks
and approaches to the various public
buildings be referred to Superintendent
of Public Buildings Charles II. Peck.
Ought to pass will be recommended on
the petition for the change of name of
Bartlett place to Bartlett street. In
eXpedient to act will be recommended
on the following: The order instruct
ing the city engineer to report the
names of streets upon which the es-
tates need REMEMBERING; the order for
the purchase by the city of a plant and
equipment for watering the streets in
place of the contract system now en-
ployed; the change of name of the ex
tension of Orne street to Eldridge
street; the order assessing a portion
of the cost of street watering upon The
street railway companies; the petition
of the Central Labor Union for the
payment of the city employees be-
tween the hours of Z a. m. and p. M,
and granting them a holiday on cleo
ton days without loss of pay; the pc
tition of Eleanor j. Bigelow and others
for a sidewalk on Vine street; the pc
tition of George w. Brooks and others
for q sidewalk on Oberlin street, and
the order for the construction of Boyls-
ton corrt from Jefferson street to Pat
tersOn street.
