LEJOK ROLL-CALL.
First Annual Big Success-Odd Eel.
lows Reminiscent.

First Annual Big Success-Odd Fell
lows Reminiscent.
The first annual roll-call of Lejok lodge,
The good time enjoyed by the large
number OF Odd Fellows attending assures
the continuance OF the roll-call as an
annual feature.
AT $50 O'Clock supper was served,
and it was good supper, too, such as the
Ellsworth Odd Fellows know how to pre-
pare and how to enjoy.
After supper, all adjourned to the main
hall, where cigars were lighted, and a
social hour enjoyed. 1t was entirely in
formal, and good fellowship reigned
supreme.
Then the roll was called, and many re-
sponded in person or by letter. The let
ters from absent Odd Fellows were greatly
enjoyed. They came from widely sepa-
rated parts OF the country, from the
Pacific to the Atlantic.
Most OF the speeches Of the evening were
reminiscent of the early history of Lejok
lodge. Among those who spoke were
John p. Eldridge, the first noble grand OF
the lodge, and Barney Mullan, who sue
ceeded him in that office. Mr.. MulIan
spoke most interestingly Of the early
days Of Lejok lodge.
There were just three Odd Fellows in
Ellsworth when the idea of organizing a
lodge was taken up early in 1882. They
we're John P. Eldridge, Barney Mullan
and George Cunningham. Two other Els
worth men--Dr. w. M. Haines and Robert
B. Holmes, took the degrees in Bangor in
order to make the necessary five applicants
for q charter. OF these only three are now
living-these are Messrs. Eldridge, MulIan
and Holmes, all OF whom were present at
the roll-call.
At the institution Of the lodge March %,
1852, fourteen more members were taken
in, as follows: Henry A. Haynes, B. F..
Joy, Frank E. Gray, c. c. Burrill, John B.
Wiswell, Emerson d. Carr, Horace F.
Lord, Adds E. Hopkins, Joseph w. Pat
ten, Thomas j. Holmes, Edmund E. joy,
A. w. Packard, David Friend, Robert F.
Sweeney. OF the growth of the lodge,
everyone in Ellsworth is familiar, and all
Odd Fellows are proud.
Among others who spoke during the
evening were E. E. Joy, j. F. Knowlton,
David Friend, Frank 8. Lord, Fred L.
Mason, Joseph w. Nealley, Frank s. Call,
Roy c. Haines, w. A. Alexander and
Charles J. Brown. All breathed the spirit
OF Odd Fellowship, and pronounced the
roll-call success.

Capt. Richardson's Vessel Sunk.
Press dispatches from Florida following
the terrific hurricane with devastated Key
West and other Florida ports, tell of the
sinking at Key West of the handsome
four masted schooner Medford, COM
manded by Capt. E. A. Richardson, OF

would be total loss, that the second mate
was drowned, that Capt. Richardson
himself narrowly escaped drowning, and
had not, at the time of fling that despatch,
sufficiently recovered to report to his own
ers.
Later dispatches said no member Of the
crew was drowned, did not mention Capt.
Richardson's narrow escape, and said
there was a chance of saving the vessel

FOR SEWER SYSTEM

IN HEALTH SAFEGUARD
Establishment of Modern Fire Depart

Rates

MONROVIA, May 22.-The bond cleo
ton, which will take place June I ana
which will provide for a sewer system,
fire department and additional equip
ment for managing the water supply,
has already excited great interest
among the residents of the toothlll
city.
At a recent board of trade banquet
Mayor w. B. Scarborough pointed out
the many advantages to be derived
from the proposed sewer system. He
showed that it would not only be q
great safeguard to health, but that IN
all probability it would increase real
estate values at least 10 per cent with
in the ensuing year. 1t has also been
estimated that a grove of eucalyptus,
fortified by the refuse from the sew
ers would, inside of ten years, pay for
the original cost of the entire system
which will be in the neighborhood OF
100000.
The proposed fire department is Sec
ond in Importance to the sewer system.
Not only are insurance rates in Mon
rovia extremely high, owing to the lack
of any equipment, but in no instance
when a blaze has started, however
small, has the present apparatus, Whlch
consists of a small reel of leaky nose
and a hand pump, been serviceable TO
cope with it, several dwellings having
According to present indications It
is probable that the bonds will carry

ROB OVERLAND
Squad of Police Hastens from Omaha

bers
1Rx Associated Press.1

OMAHA, Neb., May 22.-Four masked
bandits held up and robbed Union
Pacific passenger train No. 2, known
as the Overland Limited, few miles
west of the city, just before midnight
tonight, and secured seven mail sacks,
believed to have contained a large
quantity of registered mail.
The robbers evidently got on the
train at some point west of here. The
holdup occurred about five miles west
of the city limits in deep cut along
the recently constructed Lane cutoff.
The robbers climbed over the tank
and forced the engineer to stop his
train and then proceeded to the mail
car. The clerks were forced to open
the door and hand out seven pouches
of registered mail The robbers then
hurried away in a southerly direction
and permitted the train to proceed.
The passengers were not molested and
as soon as the robbers left the scene
of the holdup the train came to this
city.
A large squad of police hurried to
the scene and quickly started in pur-
suit of the bandits.
