LODGE OF SORROW
Is BEING PLANNED.


Locomotive Engineers Will Hold
Memorial Service Late This Year.
A committee to make arrangements
for holding the Lodge of Sorrow, of
Division No. 256 of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers, was appointed
yesterday at the regular meeting of the
division.
The Lodge of Sorrow is the memorial
service which the locomotive engineers
hold every year to mourn the death of
any members who may have died dur
ing the year. The regular time for
holding the service is the last Sunday
before the oath of August. but for a
number of reasons it was found i'm
practicable TO hold it at that time this
year.
The engineers this year have lost
only one of their members, Mr.. j. w.
McAvoy. who died last March. Mr..
McAvoy was employed on the Atlantic
Coast Line.
The committee will make arrange
ments for the service and will possibly
report to the division next Sunday.
Just when the service will be held has
not been decided, but it is hoped to hold
il the latter part of this month.

ANOTHER SNAKE MAY
BE IN THE PARK
Negro Snake Charmer Said 10 Have
Given Them Their Freedom.

Negro Snake Charmer said TO Have
Given Them Their Freedom.
1t is believed now that there is an
other snake in Colonial Park. and it is
probable that a search for the reptile
will be made to-day.
An account of Mr.. w. c. Davis fight
with four foot moccasin in the park
Saturday evening was given in the
Morning News yesterday and attracted
considerable attention. 1t now appears
that the snake had a mate that failed
to put in an appearance during the
fight Mr.. Davis had.
Several days ago a negro who is well
known in police circles, and who claims
TO be a snake charmer, appeared in
Market Square and offered two large
moccasins for sale. He stated that he
caught the snakes near Sand Fly sta
ton. He failed, however, to find pur-
chaser and some hours later reported
to merchant into whose place he had
been. that he had put the snakes in
the grass. 1t is now thought one of
these snakes was the one killed by Mr.
Davis
