The first freight station of the Baltimore

down by the workmen, who are clearing
the space for the new building of the Gen.

The work of clearing the lot is pro-

new home for the Census Bureau will soon
be begun. The structure will be COM
pleted by January l. 1900.

SUES FOR INSURANCE MONEY
4 suit Filed Against the Masonic
Relief Association.

The Masonic Mutual Relief Association
of the District was made defendant in a
suit for 81 1000, brought by Mrs. Louisa NJ
Scharr, who claims the amount named on
an insurance policy issued to George C.
Seharr, the husband OF the plaintiff. Mrs.
seharr is represented by Attorneys Am
brose and Archer.
The declaration of Mrs. Scharr states
that on July Is. 1897, the Masonic Mutual
Relief Association issued TO George G.
Scharr certificate or policy Of insurance
upon the payment OF certain assessments
and dues, promising TO pay TO the plaintiff
81 coo within sixty days afteF satisfactory
proof of the death of the insured, George
G. Scharr. The plaintiff declares that all
the requirements and conditions imposed
by the defendant were complied with and
that all assessments whereof he had notice
were paid by the deceased, George G..
Scharr. 1t is, however, alleged that the
defendant did not notify the deceased of
the falling due of the assessment next be-
fore the last. Notwithstanding this it is
stated that the deceased Scharr, when the
last assessment became due rendered it
through the plaintiff, but that it was re-
fused by the defendant.
1t is understood that the testimony OF
the plaintiff in this suit will be OF a very
sensational character. It is statsd that the
result of the proceedings is being closely
wached by the Masons of the District.

spondent believes he echoes the opin-
ion of a majority in the city in stating
that the captain of the Aorangi acted
in a most sensible manner by refusing
to hold communication with the shore
while his vessel was in port. and also
in his refusal to take mail from what
he undoubtedly regarded as an infected
port Quarantine regulations in Brit
ish possessions are far more strict than
in the United States, and in view OF
his orders to make up time with his
vessel during the absence from the
route of the Warrimoo, he doubtless
he served his cOmpanys
interests better by taking the course he
adopted than to run the risk of deten-
ton at Victoria eighteen days through
having held communication with an
port, without any regard for
the criticism such action would prob
ably give rise to.
