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. Smucker. pas
tor of the Stephen's .Memorial M. E.
church, dwelt upon the benefit to the
jworld of men getting together for bet
ter things and made a fine impression
upon his hearers. Jesse E. B. Cun
ningham, Deputy Attorney General,
made a most, impressive address on
"Some Corner Stones nf Free Ma
sonry." He referred to the beginnings
oi the craft away back in the cen
turies and its symbolic meaning. His
address was a most finished effort and
evoked a storm of applause.
Many compliments were bestowed
upon the toastmaster, Mr. Snyder,
who made it easy for the speakers by
his clever introductions and his ap
propriate stories. The committee in
charge of the banquet included: John
Fllckinger, Andrew S. Patterson. Ed
ward L. Melhorn, Edwin H. Hess, An
drew S. Dellinger. John N. Kinnard,

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

had been filled at a cost of $6.50.
i MANY NEW MILLS
FOR STEEL PLANT
Pennsylvania Company Will Soon
' Undertake Big Expansion Work
at Steelton Plant
j Official confirmation was given this
! '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 the buildings were offered for
sale, but the purchasers, mostly out
of-town folks, got bargains. Two of
the most famous places, the Cart
wright building, at 135 South Second
street, and the Jauss property, now
occupied as a station on the opposite
corner, were not sold.
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. The Weaver
building, at Second and Mulberry
streets, a three-story brick, 75 by 20
feet, brought sll7 and was sold to
Peter Schilling. 1238 Herr street. The
Phelps property, an old landmark at
207 Mulberry street, was sold to J. E.
&hank for $33.

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. The two weddings of
] last evening are the talk of the twin
i towns, and it is rumored that other
i young people are thinking of combln
| ing and making one ceremony do for
.all marriageable and well-matched
1 lovers."

"TRAFFIC IN SOULS''
There are no problems or .theories
in Traffic in Souls" that Helen Grayce
and her clever company will present
at the Majestic Theater this evening.
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. Is delighting children of
all ages there this week and the holi
day of many will undoubtedly be spent
