Resolutions of Malta Lodge, No. So,
A.. f. & A, NJ. at Charles Town, West
Virginia, February IL, 1909;
Whereas, Brother William Price Craig
hill has been called by the Great ArchI-
tect OF the Universe 10 the Grand Lodge
above, it is befitting that We, his Masonic
bretneren. should, III mourning his loss,
briefly eulogize his distinguished career
and extol his services to the Craft.
Brother Craighill was at the time of his
death the Oldest Master Mason OF Malta
Lodge, having served for over fifty three
years, being raised III Malta Lodge on
July IS, 1855.
He was Jealous in his devotion to the
principles of the fraternity, and possessed
a fund of Masonic knowledge aud 1arls-
prudence with which he was wont to re-
gale his brother Masons to their edlfica-
ton and great enjoyment, They recall
with pleasure, the occasion OF the banquet
rendered to him by the Lodge on the
fiftieth anniversary of his initiation into
the mysteries of Freemasonry, as an event
unique in the history of the Lodge. and
full of interest and satisfaction TO all who
participated.
In his chosen avocation. that of the en-
gineering branch of the military service,
Brother Craighiil rose to the highest rank
attainabe, that of igadier-General and
Chief-of- Engineers, of the United States
Army. There are but few sections of his
country which do not bear evidence OF his
engineering skill. notably, the 'Craighill
Channel" of Baltimore hafbor, which for
all time will perpetuate his memory, by
facilitating the shipping operations. and
increasing the commerce of that port.
But it was in the more intimate rela-
tons of Masonic brotherhood that Brother
Craighlls life appeals to us. Kindly and
genial in his nature, gentle and courteous
IN demeanor towards his fellowmen, we
| feel that the community IN which he lived
and in whose history and best interests
he took so profound a concern, has. with
us. suffered in his death the loss of one
who can i'll be spared.
Therefore. deeply rearetting the loss
| 10 our Fraternity, but bowling to the will
of our Heavenly Grand Master, Be il
| Resolved:
That the family of the deceased be ex-
tended our heartfelt sympathy IN theii
| bereavement.
That in honor of our deceased brothei
we wear the usual badge of mourning
and our Lodge-room be draped accord
inaly for the space OF thirty days. anc
that these resolutions be spread upon Out
minutes and a copy sent to the family o
tie deceased and copy be published II
the newspapers of the county.

gramme of road improvements for the
year for the consideration of the county

were built, at cost of about s24, 500; in
the last four years, 1T were built, the
greater part of them. of enduring ma

possible. The tests of various dynames and
powders used in blasting coal are being made in
mammoth boiler plate cylinder which has pre-
viously been filled with gas or coal dist The CYL
inder is 100 feet long and six feet in diameter.
Safety valves have been placed all along the top
and are left unfastened in such a manner that
whenever there is explosion the valves fly
open on their hinges. series of portfolios on the
side, covered with onehalf inch glass, enables
those conducting the experiments to witness the
results from an observation house 60 feet away
An explosive mixture of fire damp and air, or coal
dust and air, is pumped into the cylinder and the
explosive which is to be tested is shot into it from
one end of the cylinder, so that the flame goes
right into the fire damp or coal dust. Natural
gas is used at this station for fire damp because
it corresponds very closely to this deadly gas.
The cannon in which the explosives are placed
is fired by electricity from the observation house
which is parallel with the cylinder itself.

psh double purpose; not only reduction in
the number of men killed in the mines, but also

Invitations have been issued to operators through
out the country to send picked men to the expert
ment station where they may watch the govern
ment rescuers at work and later go through the
same training themselves in order that they may
gain the necessary confidence in the use Of these
helmets Already number of the large mining
companies have taken advantage of this invitation
and are organizing rescue corps at their mines
fully equipped with oxygen helmets
In 1907 more than 1925 men were killed in the
coal mines of the country-a death rate of 4s6
for every 1000 men employed. This is from three
to four times as many men per thousand as are
killed in any coalproducing country of Europe,

separate the auditorium from the gas

been but little opportunity so far for
the rescue corps to demonstrate it's eff
some good work.
Once the helmeted men while fight
ing a mine fire succeeded in bringing
an unconscious man to a place of safety,
where he was given oxygen treatment
and recovered his senses in short
time.

pose of discovering the causes of mine disasters
and suggesting a remedy.
Along with establishment of this station and
the agitation which preceded the necessary legis-
laon, there has been falling off in the number
of deaths in the coal mines for the year 1908, and
while the official figures have not yet been OBJ
tanned, it is stated that the number of deaths
will be several hundred less than in 1907, which
was an unusual year In December, 1907, four
