MASONIC HEAD WARNS AGAINST DESTRUCTIVE TENDENCY AT TIES Governor Tener Also Points Out Governor Tener Also Points Out That Those Who Denounce Seldom Build I Hundreds of Masons from all parts of Central Pennsylvania attended the anniversary celebration of the Robert Burns lodge at the Masonic Temple last night. This lodge is forty-four years old and has had a remarkably interesting and prosperous history. In the opening exercises Arthur D. Bacon, past master of the lodge, made ! the address of welcome and Frank B. Wickersham, also a past master, pre sented to Charles S. Davis, who occu ! pied the important chair of master last j year, with a past master's jewel. Mr. Davis responded to Mr. Wickersham's | eloquent remarks in a speech of ap preciation in which he complimented those who were associated with him in the work of the lodge. The banquet was spread in the large hall and the diners sang popular isongs led by an orchestra during the '■ evening. After the several toasts the j main speakers of the evening were in troduced by District Deputy Grand I Master William S. Snyder, who was i requested by Francis Neely, the wor .shipt'ul master, to act as toastmaster jof the occasion. J. Henry Williams, of Philadelphia, the head of the fra- Iternitv in Pennsylvania, responded for ithe grand lodge and in the course of liis remarks developed the thought that we are upon days which require men; that it is easier to tear down than to build up; and that it behooves I the Masonic brethren and all other | men devoted to the welfare of the | people to stand fast against the de i struetive tendencies of the age. Governor John K. Tener arrived j toward the end of the feast and was | given a most cordial reception. Ho responded to the toast, "The Mason and the State," and took occasion to voice his appreciation of the kindness i which had been shown him during j his stay in llarrisburg and especially |of the good feeling which had been j manifested by the brethren of the fraternity. He also emphasized the | thought of the previous speaker that men who spend their time in de nunciation and criticism have little ; tim>> left for creative work. The Rev. Clayton A.

NEW BERLIN BARNS DESTROYED BY FIRE Starts in Central Hotel Stable and Threatens Great Por tion of Town Sf trial to 7 <i t Telegraph MlfTlinburg, Pa., March 28. This morning about 3 o'clock the largest and most destructive fire ever occur ring in tho town took pface at New Berlin, a few miles southwest of Mlf flinburg. Thousands of dollars' dam age was done and only the good work of the local flro company and citizens prevented the destruction of the entire western portion of the town. A heavy rain was falling at the time and this aided materially in preventing a spread of the flames. The Ore Is supposed to have been of incendiary origin and started in tho large stable attached to the Cen tral Hotel, of which William Hart wick is the proprietor. This building and several large outbuildings belong ing to the hotel property were com pletely destroyed, with their contents, except the horses, which were saved by the firemen after heroic work. A number of the firemen were overcome by smoke, but soon recovered and re sumed work on the flames. Sever.il horses were severely scorched before they were taken out of the stables. The fire spread to the adjoining barns owned by Dr. Harvey Wilson and George H. Bubb, both buildings being destroyed with their contents. The horses in these barns were also saved by the firemen, although some small livestock was burned. Proprietor Hartwlck's loss, includ ing the building, will amount to about $1,700; Dr. Wilson loses SI,BOO, and George Bubb, about $l,lOO. The loss is practically covered by insurance. STEAL MARKET BASKET One market basket was reported stolen at Verbeke market this morn ing. It belonged to Mrs. L. P.

'Horning to the recent rumors to the j effect that the Pennsylvania Steel Company intends to erect a number jof new mills at its Steelton plant. Among the new equipment to be added to the Steelton plant will be a 132-inch roughing mill und a 28-inch finishing mill. Both these mills are a i Part of the equipment of the Milliken steel plant on Staten Island, recently purchased by the Pennsylvania Steel | Company. A new 4 0-inch blooming | will be purchased and erected at Steel j ton to furnish the blooms to feed the I new roughing mill. The.se new mills will be erected on the ground made available by the re moval of the old Nos. 1, 3 and 4 open hearths. The ground recently acquired in the lower west side, and from which the dwellings ure now being removed, will be covered b'- four big ten-ton electric cranes. The operation of these new mills will be under the head of a new department of the steel com pany to be known as the rail and structural mill department of the Pennsylvania Steel Company. The new mills will turn out a high class prod uct of railroad rails, "I" beams, chan nels, angles and other structural steel. This will enable the Steelton plant to handle larger contracts and to ship a large amount of steel to the Sparrows Point plant, a subsidiary of the Penn sylvania Steel Company, where it will be used in the construction of large sea-going vessels. To Electrify Mills \\ ith the erection of these new mills there will be greater activity in the bridge and construction department. hile these new mills are going up improvement will also be made to the old equipment and a part of the plant will be electrified. The old 13-inch guide mill at the lower end of the big plant will be remodeled and changed so that it may be operated by electricity. The old No. 4 open hearth building has been left standing while the Nos. 1 and 3 have been demol ished. This building, which is still standing, will lie utilized to house one of the new mills. Actual construction work wit; be started within a few days and will be pushed just as rapidly as possible and before the present summer is gone most of the new mills will be in place. An interesting feature of the im provements is the arrangement of the mills. Each mill will be placed so that the material, from the time it enters the first furnace in the form of raw ore until it leaves the last rolls as fin ished product, will be moving in one direction all the time. The raw iron ore will enter the blast, furnaces down near Swatara street. Here it will be converted into pig iron blooms. These blooms will move to the open hearths where the necessary scrap iron will be added and the steel making process will be started. Railroad Sells 27 Houses for S7OO To make way for the proposed Cum berland Valley Railroad bridge and subway improvements, twenty-seven old landmarks in Mulberry and Sec ond streets, some having been erected seventy-five years ago, were sold at auction this morning for a total of S7OO.

Only S2O was bid for the Cart wright building, once used as a court house, and also as the Black Swan Hotel. The Jauss building brought Just $25 and was passed.

' Buffalo, N. Y., March 28. —Towns in Western New York are threatened with a repetition of the disastrous floods of a year ago, when homes were washed away and damage estimated at several hundred thousand dollars was done. In the lowlands of the Tonawanda people are going to and from thetr homes in boats to the over flow from the Tonawanda and Allcotte creeks. At Batavia the municipal sewerage disposal plant is ei*ht feet under water. Account of the Wedding The Telegraph of March 29, 1889, says: "On the opposite side of the river from Harrisburg are the pretty and homelike villages of Bridgeport (now Lemoyne) and Wormleysburg. Just where the town lines separate the two places is not positively known; but they are separate and distinct in geo graphical locations and in State no menclature. Double weddings are no uncommon occurrence in these twin villages ,and last evening another one took place with but few variations. Wedding bells rang merrily at the hos pitable residence of Citizen William Miller at Wormleysburg, where an in teresting ceremony was performed by Rev. B. F. Beck. The bride was Miss j Bertie Miller and the groom Mr. Sani j uel W. Long, a worthy and industrious young man. The marriage was a i pleasing event and the j leasures of j the occasion were dispensed with | graceful liberality. Previous to the Long-Miller nuptials Rev. Beck had j performed a similar interesting rite j for Mr. William Miller, son of Citizen ! William Miller, and brother to wife land bride of happy *!r. Long. This I ceremony united young Mr. Miller 'with Miss Ella Harling, a charming I young lady, whose home is in the j same locality. "After the Long-Miller wedding i young Mr. Miller and his bride, nee I Miss Harling, accompanied by forty : or more friends, called upon the joy ous young couple, and the neighbors, ; being invited, they joined in making j the event one of pleasure and long re membered happiness. The wedding I feast was-spread In the spacious din-, j ing room.*, where more than 100 j guests partook of the fat of the land, j j The Fort Washington band serenaded | i the happy couples and rendered choice ■ music appropriate to the matrimonial j occurrences.

It Is rather a powerful melodrama that holds up the mirror to life and reflects a condition of affairs among the white slavers that is nothing if not absorb ing, exciting and interesting. The story is being told in moving pictures but it takes the drama to give It the real spark of animation to stir the pulse and emotions to the conditions that are as deplorable as they are apparently beyond the control of leg islation.—Advertisement. "ROMANCE" Romance," one of the season's most successful love dramas, will be pre sented at the Majestic Theater Mon day afternoon and evening, with a bargain matinee at the lowest prices ever fixed for this afternoon. Mr Dillingham in forming this company : was most fortunate in selecting an ex cellent cast by reason of "The Great Adventure" and Belasco's "A Tem peramental Journey" terminating their reason.—Advertisement. GREEN BEETLE COMING Vaudeville's most beautiful head liner "The Bride Shop" and the wealth of clever talent that supports it, will bow to local theatergoers for tho last engagement to-night. For next week the management Is announcing "The Green Beetle," a two-act "Chinese Fantasy." If this absorbing playlet with its mysterious air and dramatic intensity lives up to all the glowing newspaper articles It has drawn from the pens of important critics, it will easily score the dramatic hit of the Orpheum's career. It is said to be played and staged with remarkable faithfulness as to details. The act is melodrama, but melodrama of a very restrained, carefully contrived, pic turesquely exhibited type. The scene is a curiosity store in New York's Chinatown, the first act fifteen years ago, the second to-day. The play was written by John Willard, and the pro duction by Joseph Hart. Mr. Casa vant is supported by a competent cast and the whole thing is miles above the level of ordinary vaudeville. AT THE COLONIAL This will probably prove a big day for Young Harrisburg at the Colonial. Teddy Osborne's Pets, one of the best and most interesting animal acts in vaudeville.
