Ancient Order of United Morkmen.

The attendance at the entertainment
held in the County Court House by the
Ancient Order of United Workmen We'd
rfesday night was smaller than was expect
&c, on account Of the RAINY weather. Those
who were there, however, were treated to
flow of oratory and music and we're well
repaid for their trip in the rain. A fair
sized crowd was in attendance, but, had IT
not been for the disagreeable weather, the
Court House would have been packed.
The meeting was for the purpose of
interesting the people in the organization
and securing more members. The local
lodge now has iorty-seven members and
it is expected that the number will be al
most doubled within short time.
The meeting was presided over by MIR.
VIM. E. Mullls, Master Workman of the
local organization. After few selections
by Thompson's Orchestra, he, in brief
and well worded address, introduced Mr..
w. O. McCluskey, of Wheeling. the
speaker of the evening. Mr.. McCluskey
spoke for about half an hour and during
that time he held the closest attention OF
his listeners. He was clear and concise
and proved himself to b, an orator OF no
mean ability.
AT er Mr.. McCluskey's address Mr.. E..
o. Heiole, of Parkersburg, rendered sew
eral fine vocal selections. After the sing
ing Capt. y. w Shaffer made brief ad-
dress and concluded by presenting Messrs.

The Brass Plant.

The question upon which the tarling
into operation of the Brass Works now
rests is the lease OF the building. All
other questions have been satisfactorily
settled and all that the new purchaser
asks Is a satisfactory lease Of the building
and boiler owned by the Improvement,
Building & Loan Association.
The question IS, whether the receivers
of the BROOKLYN Brass Manufacturing
Company have charge OF the building un-
til the expiration Of the lease on March
3ist. 1901, or whether they have nothing
more TO d. with ii after they had carried
OUT the order OF the United States Court
in selling the property OF the Brass Com
pany. The contennon OF the trustees Of
the Building Association is that the un-
expired term Of the lease is an asset OF
the Boooklyn Brass Manufacturing Com
panv, which the receivers. under the or
der of the Court, have right 10 sell and
that the trustees Of the building Associa-
ton have no conrOl over The property
until the expiration of that lease, except
to collect the rent provided by the lease
They are looking after the protection OF
the creditors of the Building Association
ar d if the rent is paid TO some one
else besides the receivers, it will 60
to the creditors of the Brass Company.
The receivers have been paying the rent
over 10 the trustees ever since they have
had charge.
MIR. Hart wants 10 lease the building
for at least two years. The present five
year lease expires one year from next
April.
The result Of the meeting of the Board
of trade was the passing of a reso-
luton asking the receivers of the
Brass Company to make reasonable
lease for the present purchasers to furth-
er insure its operation at once. The
building has heretofore been leased for
So75 per year and the insurance.
All arrangements for the leasing of the
building will probably be perfected within
week and if they are satisfactory the
plant will start into operation as soon
as the lease is granted.
