hASONS TO MEET.
Three Bodies Will Hold
Forth in Trenton
Tomorrow.

Especial to s"The Jersey City News"1
TRENTON, May 13, 1901.-Beginning to-
morrow night, representatives of the
higher degrees of Masonry in New Jersey
will enter in upon a three days session
in this city. Three distinct bodies of the
Free and Accepted Masons will meet for
the purpose of electing officers and trans
acting other business of Importance.
The Past Commanders Association will
inaugurate the exercises tomorrow night.
After electing officers in Masonic. Temple
the members will adjourn to the Trenton
House, where they will enjoy their an
nual banquet.
Tuesdays proceedings will really be the
most important feature of the three days
gathering. 1t will mark the forty-third
annual convention of the Grand Com
mandery of the New Jersey knights
Templar. The event will be held at Ma
sonic Temple, beginning at II A. M.
Wednesday morning the Grand Chapter
of Royal Arch Masons will confer The
organization is to choose officers, listen to
the various reports and consider new busi-
ness for the coming twelvemonth.
OF the three days exercises more gem
eral interest will be centred in the result
of Tuesdays conclaye. Nineteen COM
manedries connected with the Grand Com
mandery will send delegates. Each COM
mandery will be represented by four or
five members, about one hundred in all
being in attendance. AS usual there will
be considerable business to engross the
attention of the assembled commandery
representatives New officers are to be
elected and there is much speculation as
to the prospective selections.
William B. Pugh, the present grand
commander, will step out, as is custom
ary, and the election of Josiah S. David
son, of Washington, as his successor is
very likely. The three Trenton members
of the Board of Officers, the Rev. George
c. Maddox, Charles BechteI and Alfred
T. Osmond, are candidates for reelection.
They have all proven efficient officers
and little doubt is entertained concerning
their reelection.
While the choice of officers is some
what problematical, the following slate.
it is thought, viii receive the Grand Com
mandery's official endorsement
Grand Commander, Josiah S. Davidson,
of Washington; Deputy Grand Command
er, Daniel Demarest, of Newark; Grand
Generalissimo, D. C. Adams of Plain
field; Grand Captain General, r. A Shir-
refs, of Elizabeth; Grand Senior Warden.
John J. Henry, of Newark; Grand Junior
Warden, Frederick G. Weise, of Borden
town; Chaplain, the Rev. George C. Mad

LlEDERKRANZ TRIP
Excellent Ac columodations at Pan
American Secured.

For years past it has been customary
for the members of the Jersey City Lie
derkranz Society to enjoy an annual out
ing or excursion to distant points, usu-
ally remaining several days. This year
the members decided to take in the Pan
American Exposition at Buffalo and the
Niagara Falls.
An excursion committee composed of
Charles r. Hartmann, Ferdinand Ehlbeck
and Martin Schinder. lessee of Liederkrana
Hall, along about January l went to
Buffalo and completed all arrangements
for the proposed excursion. They made
hotel arrangements for the accommoda-
ton of ia persons, chartered special cars
for a trip to Niagara Falls and made
other arrangements, including admission
to Exposition grounds for the pleasure of
the party, for all of which they secured
cast iron contracts. The demand for such
accommodations greatly increased as the
time for opening the Exposition drew
near and the committee has been offered
sums appropriating $1,000 for release of
the various contracts. The offer has
been refused. The members will enjoy
the trip at the rate of $3.50 per capita.
Contrary to the usual custom they will
take their wives and sisters or sweet
hearts.
They will leave Hoboken ON a special
train on Thursday morning July ar
irving at Buffalo in the evening. Friday
and Saturday will b. spent inspecting
sights of the Exposition. Sunday the
members will enjoy a seven mile trolley
ride over the world famed Gorge route.
taking in the Niagara Falls. passing the
Rapids. the Whirlpool, Devils Hole, ETC.,
to Lewiston, on Lake Ontario
In the afternoon a trip will be taken
on the Maid of the Mist, passing the
Falls to the Canadian shore. The party
will start home Sunday night, arriving
in Hoboken Monday morning at clock.
over one hundred excursion tickets have
been already sold The ladies of the par
ty will have a Pullman sleeper for Their
accommodation. 1t will be attached to
the rear of the train and the men say if
they don't behave themselves they'll cut
them off or side track the car, Each one
of the men will have two seats Tor
sleeping accommodations. A buffet car
will be attached to the engine.
The society proposes next year to take
a months trip to California

, intended to build a. railroad to connect

is intended to build a railroad to connect
the bridge with the tracks of the New
York Central at Thirtieth street. This
will permit of the running of through
trains from New Jersey up New York
State and to New England.
What we wish to have understood
more than anything else is that the pur-
pose of the bridge is solely to facnltate
the transportation of passengers.
The railroad companies will have
nothing to do with any scheme to send
freight across the river by a bridge
They know very well that there is no
room on this side of the river for tie
storage of cars. Even in Jersey City,
where they occupy miles of the river
front, they have less room than they
need.
''They were not interested in the
freight railroad project of the New YORK
and New Jersey Bridge Company, bul
they are all heartily in favor of pas
senger bridge and bound to see it built
as soon as it can be accomplished"

WHAT A YELLOW DOC DID

A queer accident in which, fortunately,
no one was hurt, took place yesterday
afternoon on Glenwood avenue 1t caused
much amusement to those who witnessed
it. An automobile was gliding rapidly
along when a yellow dog belonging to
Lawyer Rurode got in the way. To save
the dog the "chaffeur'' gave the lever a
sudden twist. Doggie escaped but the
sharp turn caused the automobile to turn
turtle and pitch its occupants onto the
roadway.

FELL IN PEST HOLES.
Mayor Hoos Receives an Anonymous
Letter Containing Suggestions.

Mayor Hoos found in his mail thi'
morning the following anonymous letter
which he referred to the City Board o
Health
The Honorable Mayor Hoos.
Sir--I notice in the papers the new
idea of beautifying the city by re-
t claiming and filing in the eyesores,
the sunken lots, the lurking spots of
all diseases. Parks in name and in
culture sounds well, but why ignore
the general danger? Why not de-
mand all lots that are adjacent to the
large tenement houses to be levelied by
filling in before the breeding season
of all diseases begins in the stagnant
water that these receivers are capable
of nurturing. Not alone are these
places against the municipal laws that
you so worthily preside over and
against the health laws, but they are
a blot and an inviting danger to the
surrounding property. Along Second
street, First street, part of Montgom-
cry, Bright and Monmouth streets,
and particularly Monmouth and Grand
Streets should at once receive their
attention and that of the Board of
Health
Very sincerely yours,
