SHIELD OF HONOR.
Annual Meeting of the Grand Lodge of
Delaware In This City.

Annual Meeting of the Grand Lodge of
Delaware In This City.
The Grand Lodge of Delaware, Shield
of Honor, began its l4th annual session,
at its headquarters in the hall at the
northeast corner of Eighth and Orange
streets, at 10 o'clock Tuesday, with
Grand Master W. r. White presiding
and good attendance of delegates.
The morning session was devoted chiefly
to the transaction of preliminary
routine business and the reading and
consideration of reports.
The reports of officers and commit
tees for the past year showed the or
ganization in the State to be in pros
porous condition and everything is
working along tremendously. A steady
increase in membership and finances
was shown. During the year 9S candi-
dates for membership were admitted,
one was received by card and three
were reinstated, making a total acgui-
sition to the ranks of 80, which brings
the membership in this jurisdiction
up to $50. The greatest gain for any
one lodge was made by Clayton Lodge.
A very satisfactory increase in funds
was reported, the gain for the year be
ing 81, 025. 20. Reports from the several
lodges show outside investments
amounting to So, 1913. 10. There is a
balance in bank of 1851. 80.

WOMAN HAS DISAPPEARED.

Mrs. Samuel Mazurie, a middle Gagged
woman, of 1908 Buyard avenue is missing,
having disappeared about O'Clock Tues
day afternoon ms completely us if the earth
had opened and swallowed her, and up to
yesterday her husband, who was making n
dilgent search, Ind found no traces of her.
Samuel MaZurie is a retired business man,
and Tuesday afternoon he and Mrs.
Ma2uriG started ont in their sleigh for n
the first tollgate the horse became fright
encd ut an automobile and ran AWAY,
throwing Mr.. Manure out. His wife re-
manned in the sleigh. The horse continued
to run and was soon out of sight.
Mr., Mazurip, who was pretty badly cut
and bruised, started to walk home, and by
the time he reached the house the horse and
sleigh were there, having preceded him. 1t
is supposed that the horse turned of mt the
first cross road and got home MS quickly as
possible.
Upon seeing the sleigh Mr., Mazurie
thought his wife was in the house and was
much surprised at not finding her there.
After he had had his wounds dressed he
started out to look for her, fearing she
might have been thrown ont along the road.
He searched until late in the night, but
without success, and as he had still heard
nothing concerning her, started out again
yesterday and at O'Clock yesterday after
noon was still engaged in the search. He
traverscd the turnpike for several miles and
visited all the houses along the road, but
learned nothing concerning his wife. He
communicated with the hospitals, but moth
ing was known about her there.
He cannot imagine what has become Of
her. Some of her friends fcur that she
might have been thrown into n snow bank

TROLLEY CARS SHOWED up.
Wilmington and Chester Line Completely
Tied Up.

wilmington and Chester Line Completely
Tied Up. 49,.
As result of the drifting snow, the
Wilmington & Chester trolley line is
tied up and it has been impossible to
move cars over it since Monday night.
That night two of the big cars, ono
running north and the other south,
struck snow banks at Gordon Heights,
which caused them to be derailed, and
Immediately the snow began to blow
o. ar them, and Tuesday they were
almost buried in drifts. The crews
communicated with the officers of the
road and assistance was sent from Will
mington and Chester.
Immediately after the first car he
came stalled large pillow was sent
down to Gordon Heights from Chester,
but it soon became stuck and remained
so for some time. Then help was sent
from Wilmington and yesterday n large
force of men were at work shoveling
the cars out, After the drifts have
been cleared away the work of replac-
ing the cars on the tracks will not he
difficult.
Ever since the tie-up the crews of
the two cars have been taken care of
by Henry b. and William b. Duncan,
who live nearby, and the Messrs. Dun
can and their families have entertained
them in royal manner
Cars were run all Tuesday night
over the Newport and Stanton branch
in order to keep the drifting snow from
covering the tracks and as u result the
service there has not been interrupted.
All of the Wilmington City Railway
Co. IS lines are open and cars are run
ming on schedule time. There has been
very little trouble from drifting snow
in the city.
The condition is similar on many of
the country roads and teams have
trouble in getting through, at times
going over fields to avoid drifts on the
road. j. II. Fleetwood, wholesale
and retail milk dealer, came in from
Centreville Tuesday morning with his
wagon drawn by three horses abreast
Many farmers had three and four
horses to their wagons and sleighs
The wind has caused more trouble
since the storm than while the snow
was falling, but there is some indica
tion of the wind subsiding, which will
be welcome news to many people.

the belief that the boy, in league with
the evil one, through his knowledge of
the white mans religion, caused the
deaths. The disappearance of the boy
from school aroused the suspicion of
Mr.. Sellon, and he started IN search.
At the outskirts of the village he found
tracks leading to Il fresh grave Dig
ging down, he found the hoy still alive,
his bloodshot eyes telling Of his agony,
and his hair torn in handsful from his
head His finger nails were torn off in
his efforts to escape from his horrible
prison. The boy was lifted from the
grave and carried to the village, where
he lived several hours, bowling like %
