marched with solemn tread. The society

though three of it's members have passed
into the great beyond, only one died and
was buried in this city. 1t was to per-
petuate his memory that services were
held yesterday. The Woodman erect a
tablet over the grave of every departed
brother, and the ceremony was the first
of the kind since the local order was or

acting Council Commander, and opened
the services by reading a portion of the
ritual. This he did in a solemn and ef-
fective manner Nearer My God to
Thee" was sung by the assembly and
there, was not dry eye at the grave.
The reading of the ritual was concluded
and the Woodmen joined in the singing
of Rock of Ages" The, family of the
departed brother attended the ceremony
and Joined in the service.
Rev. J. l.. Seully, rector of ST. Pauls
Episcopal Church, delivered a beautiful
memorial address. He compared the work
done by ministers of the gospel with that
of the secret orders, and commented on
the paragraph in the ritual wherein the
lodge is required to hook after and care
for the graves of departed members. Mr..
Scullys effort was a touching one and
his was high tribute to the Woodmen of
the World The services closed with a
duet, christians, Goodnight" by Messrs.
John Banks and r. w. Clarke.
The Woodmen of the World is one of
the largest orders of the kind In the

WANT THE CASE TRANSFERRED

In the Court Of General Sessions Thurs
day Johu Lynn, through his attorneys,
Levi G. Bird and Walter II. Hayes, made
formal application to have the eleven
indictments found against him quashed
and also to have the cases transferred to
Kent county on the ground that he could
not secure a fair trial in this county.
Mr.. Hayes presented the motion to
have the indictments quashed and his
reasons were that every member of the
grand jury which found the true bills
was a taxable citizen of the county and
pecuniarily interested and because the
indictments were indefinite, uncertain
and insufficient.
Mr.. Bird then read the formal applica-
ton of the president of the Levy Court
for change of venue to which was
adopted.
