Oinnd l.oditc.

which began n year ago In the order of

In all the lodges of the United States, In
which It is stated that "any subordin
ate lodge or lodges refusing allegiance
to the grand lodge, defying its author
ity, attempting or claiming to exercise
the right nnd functions of Elks by
virtue of any pretended authority from
any other power or body, shall be
deemed guilty of treason to this grand
lodge."
The occasion for the pronunclamento
is the proposed meeting of a self-constituted
body of KIks to be held In Huffn
lo, N. Y., May 20. .Mr. May vigorously
refuses to contennnce the meeting or Its
purposes, and adds that it could ac
complish nothing more than to keep
alive the controversy which began over
the Jamestown-Atlantic City meetings
last June. He deplores the attempt to
banish the old order, turn down Its
landmarks, forsake Its history, blot out
Its dearest memories and forget Its
founders and Its traditions. AH lodges
that have elected a delegate to go to
Buffalo are requested to reconsider
their action and reaffirm allegiance to
the grand lodge, which will meet in an
nual session at Atlantic City, N. J.,
July 9.
The grand exalted ruler quotes sec
tion 13 of the constitution, which says
that any body unlawfully assuming to
be the grand lodge of Benevolent Pro
tective Order of KIks shall be suspend
ed from membemhlp In tbt grand
lodge, and significantly adds that
while the order exists Its laws must
be obeyed."

ing question open.

of Japan's concessions, but Insists that
the Japanese occupation of a portion
of the Chinese mainland must not be
unlimited.

GOLD AND SILVER RUMORS.
The Syndlcnto Purchasing Story Is
Denied hy Smelters.
Denver, May 7. The rumor that a
syndicate Is buying up gold In Colorado
Is denied by smelter men. "The report
Is erroneous," said ex-Governor Grant,
of the Omaha and Grant smelter. "We
are shipping our bullion to New York,
and have been doing so for a month or
more, because we get 65 cents per 1,000
premium on gold bars in New York
market."
Mr. Grant expressed himself as
strongly of the opinion that no gold
syndicate was operating In the west.
The low express rates are pointed nut as
one of the agencies that have caused
the receipts of the Denver mint to fall
off f.0 per cent, within tho last sixty
days.
A well-Informed express agent est!
mates that 8!i per cent, of the silver pro
duction of Colorado Is going to San
Francisco on account of the demand
occasioned by the war between China
and Japan. The San Francisco quoin
tlons have ruled one-quarter to two
thirds of a cent more than New York
quotations for three or four months
paHt. The express rates have been
practically cut In two by the hard times
and close competition In business. One
express company In eight days recently
shipped $220,000 In bars out of Denver.

but Insisted that the vouchers by which

and, notwithstanding the onslaught of
the infuriated men, they more than held
their own. In a short time they had
scattered the crowd. Tho police sent
for reinforcements, and In hulf an hour
100 officers were on the scene. Twenty

An Attempt Is Made to DcmolNh Peter
Patten's Hotel.
Cranford. N. J.. May 7. Peter Pat
ten's new hotel nt Fanwood was par
tially destroyed by dynamite at 4
o'clock this morning. Holes were dug
on each side of the arch supporting he
building nnd a cartridge with n fuse
attached placed Inside. The earth was
replaced nnd the fuse lighted. The ef
fect of the explosion was to tear away
most of the weatherboards from the
house and to break nil the windows in
the hotel. Ln.nillord Patten and his
wife, the only oecupnnts, were unhurt.

commlrted by a jinloun rival of Patten,

HUMAN STORAGE BATTERY.
Mniy nirchnll. of Henderson, Credited
with Marvelous Powers. .
Henderson, N. Y., May 7. The latest
wonder here Is an electrical girl, Mary
Rlrchall, who lives with her parents in
a dilapidated frame house on the lake
shore. One of her many alleged feats
Is that of transmitting a current of
electricity to a sewing machine nnd a
grindstone, causing them to run at any
desired rate of speed. All the family
sewing Is performed on an old-fash
ioned affair driven from an electric cutr
ren from the girl's finger tips, while
the edgerl tools of the farm are sharp
ened on a grindstone revolved by the
same form. She can light up a dark
room at her will by her presence.
The most marvelous thing, however,
about the feat Is that human eyes have
not been nble to see where the light
comes from. When producing the phe
nomena she seems to he chnrgiil with
all the electric energy of u live wire,
and It is extremely dangerous for a tier
son to touch her. The atmosphere that
surrounds her nt such times repels and
thus has saved many from Injury. A
large shepherd dog owned by the fam
ily rubbed his nose against her when
she was 'transmitting force, to tho
grindstone and received a shock that
stretched him lifeless. In illuminating
the cow stable one night a vivacious
heifer kicked the girl on the hand. In
stantly the nnimal experl"nced a
shock that paralyzed a limb, anil, not
recovering afterward, It was killed by
Mr. P.irchall.
55eko Harris, who lives over nt Six
Town Point, en mo over to Investigate
the case the other day. He asserted his
willingness to undergo the torments of
the girl's power. He took hold of her
nnd at once began to experience shocks.
He did not withstand the ordeal long,
and at the end of a few seconds he was
unconscious.
MYSTERY IS rLEABlXC.
Decomposed ftody f ound Nearly a Month
Ago in u Dickson City Culvert Is Sup
posed telle That of Micliucl Cluney, of ,
Shamokin Ills I trot her Visits the
Coroner.
Coroner J. A. Kelley received a visit
from I. J. Clancy, of Luzerne street,
yesterday morning, who believes that
the man whose decomposed body was
found a month ago hi a culvert near the
Jermyn breaker, in Dickson City, was
his brother, .Michael Clancy, of Sha
mokin.. The first Inttmutlon Mr. Clancy
received that the (b ad man was related
to him was on Monday. It had been
generally supposed that the corpse was
that of a Hungarian. He received the
following extract from an article In a
Shamokin paper:
"There is some belief entertained In
this city that the unknown man found
murdesfd In the Dickson City culvert
may have been Michael Clancy, of Rig
Mountain, who so mysteriously disap
peared last December. This man had
been In trouble last fall, and he went to
Scrantun.
Dropred Out nt Slht.
After he had been there for some time
he sent for his wife and four children.
One day ho took his little boy out for a
walk7"and coming to the Rridge street
crossing of the Delaware and Hudson
railroad he hurried across In front of nn
approaching train, leaving his boy on
the other side. When the train got past
the father was gone, and from that day
to this the family had watched fnr his
coming heme. The wife and children
returned to Uig .Mountain a short time
after."
The coroner directed his visitor to go
to the establishment of Undertaker
Jones, of Olyphnnt.innd see if thr dea l
mam's clothes, which nre kept there,
could be recognized as those of his
brother. He Identified the clothes as
those his brother wore the last time he
saw him. Undertaker Jones Informed
Mr. Clancy that in the pockets had
been found a large peculiarly shaped
clasp knife, this Inscription being on
the blade: "Hickory Swamp, Shamo
kin, Pa."
Identified the Knife.
The weapon is now ,n possession of
County Detective Lcyshon. Mr. Clancy
stated that his brother had a knife an
swering a similar description, and he
believes from all the evidence In the
case that the dead man was his brother.
He has nut taken any steps yet to
exhume the remains from the Olyplmnt
cemetery, where tho body has been In
terred among the unknown dead. The
wife and four children of the deceased
live In Shamokin.
