among the boxing fans of New Orleans

MASTER
Spirited Election in Garfield
Lodge Takes Place at the
Masonic Temple Last
Night, and Lodge Politics
Is Played to a Finish.

At the annual election of officers of
Garfield lodge is resulted in the selec-
.tion BY a substantial majority of J..
". Davis for the exalted position of
master of the lodge after a spirited riv-
airy and an unprecedented campaign.
The election was regarded as one of
the most important that has ever been
held by the Garfield lodge, and the
result is highly satisfactory to those
who have built up this splendid order
until now its building is nearly paid for
and its membership is nearing the 500
mark.
August Schneider was elected to the
position of senior warden in the place
vacated by the elevation of J. w. Da-
Wis to the position of worshipful mas
ter
The office of junior warden was prac-
tically rendered to w. S. Jones. he hav-
ing received practically four times the
vote given to the next highest man.
Good Feeling Prevails.
AS has been the custom for a num-
Der of years. Theodore Moore was elect
ed treasurer. r. Scott Caller was elect
ed secretary and Jacob Kasper was
elected tyler by practically a unani-
| nous vote in recognition of their splen-
| did services in the past.
Although the election was one of the
most interesting that has ever beer
held in the history of the Garfield
| lodge, there was the best of feeling
| prevailing on the part of great ma
jority of the members after the ballots
had been counted.
In fact, in previous years, or until the
| last two years. the office of master OF
| the lodge has been practically conceded
to the senior warden. Last year, how
ever, DR.. W. F. Howatt was elected te
the office of worsf1ipful master over the
senior warden, and this year the same
| circumstance prevailed.
| Garfield lodge now looks forward t
one of the most prosperous years In 1t:

| has come up from the ranks and ha!
long been recognized a one of the mos
faithful workers in the Hammond

Masons as tribute to his zeal in lodg,
matters. At the time of the dedication

Quest of Water for Engines

Railroads have been tied up for var
ious causes, but yesterday the fifty or
sixty engines of the Chicago, Indiana
& Southern. and Indiana Harbor Belt
railroads were compelled to go all over
the district in quest of water.
Some of the engines were supplied
at the Hammond distillery, others at
the plant of the Standard Forgings
company, several engines were sent
over to Calumet Park to the pumping
station on the Calumet river there, and
a few were sent all the way-to St. John
on the c., l. & S. railroad. where water
was secured.
The trouble was due to the fact that
slush Ice got into the intake of the
private main which supplies the New
York Central lines with water. 1t
was impossible to pump any great
quantity of water. and as engines must
have water the problem became SER
ious one
Freight Delayed.
The result was that a large amount
OF freight was delayed. and today the
railroad has employed a tug to &c to
the intake at Indiana Harbor and open
it.
The same trouble was encountered
by the other railroads in Hammond,
where the water pressure was as low
as twenty pounds. The Erie and Mo-
non railroads were compelled to search
for water yesterday on account of the
low pressure in the Hammond mains.

sion of Lamp-Mistress

Hard luck Would have it that the
worst fire that the city has had this
winter should break out today on the
coldest morning that the city has expe-
rienced thus far. The family of John
August. living in the w c. Belman cot
tage, 96 Hanover street was made
practically homeless owing to the fire,
which was caused by a lamp explosion.
The damage is estimated at 5000 Mrs.

with her apron, burned her hands Sc
verely, and it was some time before
somebody could get to a telephone to
summon the fire department No. / and
No. 8 responded, while No. went to
the Central station to protect the bust
ness district.
Mrs, August was at work in one part
of the house when she heard the lamp
explode. Running to the bed room
where the lamp stood, she found the
room ablaze and attempted to put out
the fire with her apron. The fire had
gained considerable headway by the
time the fire department arrived. The
roof of the building could not be saved
and considerable damage was done in
side to the furniture by the smoke and
water. The walls in the building, how
ever. remained intact
There was no serious handicap by
the fire. but the department took nc
chances, and connected with Holman
street water plug.
The hose wagon of the Central sta
tion was called out last night to the
home of John Sherer. 203 State Line
street. A little fire had broken out il
one of the living rooms, owing to low
base of a stove. The damage was nom
