Tno affairs of the ledge dragged along In

no quarrel with any rite or order ; so far it

At this mooting a potltion for mamborship
was racoivod from Isaiah II Bennett The

appointed tlmo the ledge met again and the
commlttco on the petition of Isaiah H , Uon-
nutt reported tbo following
Your commiiteo , having invostlgatod the

In October of the same year a charter was
obtained from the grand ledge ot Illinois

ti B , Kinney , who visited thu grand ledge
for that purpose Thn following officers

warden ; George Hofnor , Junior warden
This lodge was Instituted , und the officers
installed , August U. , 1837. by Brother ttobeit
C. Jordan of Omaha , who , was master of
Illinois for that purpose
During the fall of 185. 1) , General Pater A.
Sarpy , In whoso store the first meeting of
the ledge was bold , banded in his petition
for initiation During its consideration aud
determination u circumstuuoo transpired of
a ludicrous character , caused by uu almost
total destruction ot furniture , clothing and
working tools Tlio incident is interesting
as showing the expedients the craftsmen of
eurly days were obliged to resort to in order
made to bring thu ledge to Omaha Brother
Alexander Atkinson , past master of Capitol
lodge , was ono of the prime movers of this
affair and thu sanction of Grand Master M.
J , Hull was finally obtained on Jnnuary U4 ,
1S88. The lodio was inovod to Omaha nnd
infused with now life New members were
added and tbo affairs of the ledge assumed a

JudgoJohnJ Gorman , sovo reign grand
commander of the Jurlsdition of the United
States , A. A. S. R. , was in Columbus , O. , u
short time ago looking nfler the Interests of
the United States Jurisdiction in the cases
now pending in the civil courts of the state
The Judge was interviewed by a reporter
for a local paper and made the following
statements in reply to questions :
"I am hero , " said the Judge , "to consult
with the attorneys in these casus Wo have
carefully gouo over the sworn testimony in
the cases at the lnstuuco of the northern
Jurisdiction members and find it corrobor
ates and proves boyoud n doubt every clulm
made by the United States Jurisdiction I
thinK our opponents , in their own behalf ,
made a fatal mistaku when they invited this
legal investigation So long aa they con
fined toeinselvos to mere assertions and
declarations that the northern Jurisdiction
was right and the United States
Jurisdiction was wrong , it was to bo
expected that many good but uninformed
brethren would become prejudiced against ,
and active oppouenls of tbo United States
Jurisdiction ; but , slnco the taking ot testi
mony referred to , the situation has com
pletely changed , and many eminent Masons
In tbo east have already admitted tboir con
viction tbut tbo United States Jurisdiction is
Toleration , fratornlty , Justice and equity are
taucht by sccrot societies , but unless they
are also practiced not only towards the
world at largo , but nmong themselves , tholr
great pretentions become as souudlug brass
