LODGE LAW IN COURT.
Trouble Exists in Chapter 8, Order
of the Eastern Star.

IN y,
of the Eastern Star.
There is trouble in Minneapolis Chapter
No. g. Order of the Eastern Star, which
has finally gone to the district court, and
will be heard in chambers April 1S
The action is entitled Minneapolis Chap
ter, o. e. S., VS.. Pattee, and is an action
for the purpose of securing a mandamus
1t appears that claims were made that
the chapter has taken certain steps in
the matter of eXpelling members from the
order, which it was claimed were Illegal,
in lodge law, and as a result the worthy
grand matron- took away the charter
under which the chapter operated, so that
they could not legally hold meetings until
the trouble was heard by the grand lodge,
and was settled one way or the other.>~
1T is claimed by the friends of the grand
officials that the mandamus canont lie,
for the reason that under lodge law it
would be impossible for the officials to
live up to an order Of court. Should the
mandamus prevail the court would order
that the lodge be reinstated by the
worthy grand matron, and according to
lodge law that cannot be done until the
meeting of the grand officials. 1t is a
trifie mixed up.

SUICIDE A FARCE.
Comedy at WinOna in Which Blank

Despondent over the fact that his father
had chided him for keeping company with
a girl whose religious belief was contrary
to his own, William Deilke, a young gro
Gerry clerk, made sensational attempt at
suicide this morning, but which, when in
vestigated by the coroner and police, who
had been summoned In hot haste, resulted
in an amusing farce.
Deilke, when upbraided by his father,
Immediately went to his room with the
threat that he intended to kill himself.
The noise of a shot followed by an ago
nizing scream, led the family to believe
that he had carried out his threat, and
they summoned the police and coroner
and doctors The young man was found
by these officials laid out In approved
style and with the smoking revolver still
in his hand. but. on investigation, it was
found that the weapon was simply loaded
with blank cartridges.

bIe-JOhn f. Stevens Again In
Charge.
Local passenger officials of lines con-
meeting with the Michigan Central yes
terday received new rate sheets and no.
tees from George H. Heafford, general
ticket and passenger agent of the Michi-
gan Central. authorizing the sale of tick
cts to New York in competition with the
differentiaI lines. The new rate sheet
yesterday. The rate from ST. Paul and
Minneapolis to New York will be $3.50
and $3.50, the same as the differential
lines.
By this action the Michigan Central puts
itself on the same footing as the differ
entail lines and declines to further &C
knowledge that any of the Chicago-New
York lines are entitled to a 81 advantage
in the sale of tickets. The new rate does
not apply out Of Chicago.
1t is not expected that the change will
draw any business to the Michigan Gen.
trail from st. Paul and Minneapolis ew-
ing to the fact that all roads are now
selling at s25 and $23; in competition with
the cut made by the 500. In territory
where the 500 rate does not apply, how
ever, the low rate will undoubtedly carry
a great deal of Eastern travel via the
Michigan Central. The differential lines
have intimated that they will not allow
themselves to be placed on the same
footing with the others, and it is expect
ed that this action of the Michigan Cen
trail will be followed with another 81 cut
by the differentiai lines. In this event
another big passenger rate war will be
on, for the Michigan Central people are
said to have declared that the time has
come when the differential should be
done away with and all lines placed on
an equal footing. 1t is expected that the
cut made by the Michigan Central will
call for similar rates from the other
hrSt-claSS lines.

OF INCENDIARYS ORIGIN,
Fire That Caused the Death of
Thirteen Persons

NEW YORK,Apri 8.-Despite reticence
upon the part of the police, facts became
public today which made it apparent
that the fire which destroyed thirteen
persons was of incendiaryv origin. 1t
transpired that a few hours before the
flames were seen a policeman was sent
for from the Andrews house and mys-
teriously dismissed by a servant. who
said he was not wanted. Letters threat
ening the lives Of theSrAndrews family
and the children of MIS- 1t John were
found. 1t is believedEt that the motive
for incendiarism was revenge, and that
the affair arose out of az quarrel among
the servants. Foley, fhsSbutler in the
Andrews family is unders surveillance.
and the police are hard atswork investi-
eating the clues. which chiefly rest upon
the anonymous letter.. Il
