A great deal of work wns done on the con stitution and other matters pertaining to the good of the order, but Iving all a part of the secret work of the organization, of course nothing can be given. Jjist night Oglethorpe Lodge No. 1, of this city, met, and a large number of the visiting brothers attended. THE GRAND LODGE. This morning the Grand lodge of the State of Georgia convenes in session. According to orders already issued, Canton Chatham No. 1, P. M., will assemble at its hall at 8 o’clock sharp, and march to the Marshall House and from thence escort the Grand Lodge officers to the hall. It is earnestly requested chat visiting chevaliers, in uniform, parade with the Canton. The line of inarch from the hotel will le west along Broughton to Bull, thence to South Broad, to Barnard and to the hall. All Past Grands of the State are entitled to be members of the Grand Lodge.

Suussy, Esq., ou the part of the local order. After the addresses the Grand Lodge will begin its session. Immediately alter the conferring of the Grand Lodge degree on th.* waiting representatives and past offi cers, the reports of the Grand Master, Grand Secretary and Grand Treasurer wili be read. The election of officers will then take place. It is highly probable that Mr. Duviil p< rtor, the present Deputy Gram! Master, will Is 1 elected Grand Master, as he i* foremost in all work that promisee good to the order, an I indefatigable in his efforts to promote its welfare and growth. He is pei-soually quite popular, also, ami as there la no opposition, his election will probably tie unanimous. It is thought that the pres ent Grand Warden will lie advanced to Deputy Grand, which will leave the field ojicn for the Grand Warden’s chair. The Grand Secretary and the Grand Treasurer will probably lie their own suc cessors. A Grand Representative will also be elected, as Mr. Dorsett’s term expires. After transacting what further business that nuiy come up before thAn, they will adjourn about 1 o’clock for the Tybee trip. At S o’clock they and their friends will leave for this delightful sea beach for a din ner and a surf hath. The tide will be at its liest at 6 and the visitors will greatly en joy their visit.

One very interest mg tonic will probably be taken up to-day, and that will be the “Odd Fellows' National Benefit Associa 1 on,” so called, of Cincinnati. This was first exposed in the Morning News sonic months ago. Tiie home members are greatly worked up over the matter, and propose to sift it to the bottom. A slip is now being circulated containing the facts given in the News article, and great inter est is centred in the matter, espe cially as the members think the Grand Master was imposed upon. Grand Master Lull tte approved the scheme, audit was mainly u|xn his approval that the members were Induced to go into what proved to tie a mu: approach to a swindle, and though, of course, the Grand Master had no idea, Other than of benefiting the members of the order, they think that he should have in vestigated it more fully before approving it. THE GRAND MASTER’S REPORT. It was expected that the Grand Master Would make an explanation of the matter in his report , but he does not refer to it. After the introduction the report speaks of u number of dispensations that have been grouted during the past year to different lodges, for various pui-|KMes, and the other ! official acts of the Grand Master which are ! not of interest to anyone except members 'of tiie order. It gives his decis | ions in the matter of cases and j appeals referred to him, and also ofny-lnws submitted for his approval. It contains the circular calling upon the lodges ; to render assistance to the brethren m j Charleston at the time of the earthquake. ! There is also contained therein a copy of a ' circular which was sent out by Grand Mire John 11. White, which forever cuts off an order known as the Patriarchial Circle, which is severely disapproved by the Odd Follows. It is as follows: By virtue of the authority vested in me by the sovereign (fraud Lodge of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, I, John It. White, Grand Sire, do hereto order and direct as follows: First. That no person holding iiiem'M-rahip in I the Patriarchal Circle or its successors, by whatsoever name it may be known, or In any secret organization not authorized iiy the Sov ereign Grand Lodge, that ho*heretofore or may hereafter require as a qualification for member ship therein a past, present or future member ship in this order, shall lie elected or appointed to, or installed into any office in anv Grand or subordiuale Lodge or Encampment of Odd Fellows under the jurisdiction of the Sovereign Grand Lodge; and it shall be the duty of all installing officers, before installing into office any person who shall have been elected or appointed to any office In any such Grand or suisirdinate Lodge or Encampment, to exact from such persons an affirmation in the following form, viz.: “And any such person who shall neglect or re fuse to take ami : nhscribe such affirmation shall not be installed into office, but said office shall be declarei v acant, und the Lodge or En campment, as the case may be. shall proceed to elect or appoint a qualified brother to fill the va cancy thereby created.” The order further prescribes that no one shall bo admitted to membership in any sub ordinate Lodge or Encampment, or as a memherof or representative t<> any Grand Lodge or Grand Encampment unless they shall take tie: oath prescribed, and anv Lodge Encampment or officer who shall wilfully violate the order, or any member or persons who shall become members, who shall falsely subscribe to the affirmations set forth in the onth, shall be expelled. AN INSUBORDINATE LODGE. The Grand Master then gives the results of twenty-seven official visits, which show the order to Ik. in a most flourishing condi tion. He reports the case of Dawsonville •Lodge No. 74, which was rejiorted to him by D. D. G. M. S. T. Looper as being in a state of insubordination in refusing to nay its per capita tax. The Grain 1 Master declared its charter void ami appointed D. D. G. M. Looper to take from the lodge its charter, books and effects. Tut the lodge refused to surrender t hem and the Grand Master turns the case over to the Grand Lodge. The District Deputy Grand Master’s reports are given next, and they show a flattering growth and most harmo nious condition prevailing throughout the whole State. The Grand Master makes the following recommendations: T recommend the granting of charters for Myrtle Lodge, No. ‘35: Friendship. No. 30; Star, No. 3;: Pleasant Y'iew, No. ”4; Clarke, No. 30, and Jasper, No. 31. I recommend the reducing the fees for degrees to a minimum of fjGO. I recommend that an attorney be appointed to collect the effects of the defunct Dawsonville Lodge ami suggest the name of Col. Marshall 1. Smith, of Gainesville, who is acquainted with nil the parties. I recommend that the subordinate 1 alges be requested to cultivate the fraternal feelings more by having public reunions and pleasing outerta nnients as frequently as possible. I recommend that provision Ik. made for future Grand Masters to visit subordinate lodges. I have seen the good results growing out of such visits. 1 recommend the appointment of a committee of five to formulate or adopt a plan of insurance in whioh all the Southern State; and others, if they desire, can participate. 1 have prepared such a plan, which, I think, will meet the re quirements, and I wish to submit it for adoption at this session. I recommend that terms of office in subordi nate lodges he made twelve instead of six months. He then concludes with some personal re marks to the Grand Lodge. THE GRAND SECRETARY’S REPORT. Grand Secretary John G. Deitz will make his annual report, in which he states that the last year has been a most fruitful one. The membership hits been increased mid the total money receipts were greater than for many years. The membership is now 3,278, and the total money receipts were $2, loti 75. Six dispensations were granted, viz: Star Lodge No. 33, Covington; Myrtle Lodge No. 2,5, Atlanta; Friendship Lodge No. 23, Macedonia; Pleasant View Lodge No. 39, Cole City; Clark Izwlg- No. 30, Athens, and Jasper Lodge No. 81, Jasper. The Grand Secretary reports that, there arc several defunct lodges whose property hits never been surrendered and ho recom mends that steps be taken to obtain it. Annual and semi-annual returns have been received from forty-eight lodges, and semi annual returns to June 20, 1887, front fifty two. MR. JEREMIAH SULLIVAN’S DEATH. He Expires at His Home After but a Few Days Sickness. Mr. Jeremiah Sullivan, an old and well known citizen, died last night at 9 o'clock at his residence. His death was rather sud den. He had lieen sick since last Friday. Last night he was sitting up on a sofa en joying the cool breeze, but feeling tired lay down to rest, but almost immediately expired before any of ins family could get to ui in, they being in the front part of the house. Ho leaves a wife, two daughters and two sons, Messrs. John J. Sullivan and M. F. Sullivan. He was a native of the county Kelt more, Ireland, and was about 65 years of ag ‘, 35 years of which wore spent in this city. He had been for the post. liftt'en years janitor of the Commercial buildings and was reputed to boa very upright citizen, retaining the confidence of all his employers throughout. Our Friends, the Odd Fellows. The Morning News takes this method of extending a cordial invitation to the mem bers of the Independent Order of Odd Fel lows, visitors and citizens, and their ladies, to pay the establishment a visit at any con venient tirao,bures|iecially on the occasion of tin meating of tile Grand Lodge in this city, und more particularly this morning front Bto 10 o’clock. Those who call between the hours named will have an opportunity afforded them of witnessing the Morning News Perfecting Press in operation. This machine is the first, and only one of its kind used in the South. It prints from stereotyped plates, cuts, pastos, folds, counts und delivers 10,000 copies per hour. To those who have never seen one of theße wonderful pieces of mechanism doing its work the visit will lie something to be re membered. Of course visitors are welcome at nil hours, but those suggested altove are the best for them to call. The Oldest Subscriber to the Morning News. Allen R. Wright, Esq., of Rome, is in the city attending the Grand Lodge of Odd | Fellows, of which he is a Past, Grand Mas- I ter. Ho has lteeit a member of the order for forty-throe years. Mr. Wright is 77 yours of age, but d<K*s not look it. He is, as far as ho can ascertain, the oiliest native of Savannah now living. He was brought up in the eouuting room of Hall, Shorter it Tuppor, one of Savannah's big commercial houses of those early days, and if ter ward, for many years, was in business ft himself in this city. Mr. Wright is at old reader of j the Morning News and lias it Ins possession ' a receipt fora ve irk subscription tram July 15, 185* i, to July 15, 1851. 'iliis is probably the oldest evidence of a “cash in advance" subscription extant. It was given just six months after the |>a|ier was started. The Engodine Bouquet, Atkinson's new iKrfume.

THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, AUGUST IT, 1887. ANOTHER DAY OF ROASTING. Yesterday s High Temperature to be Repeated To-Day. Fans anti iced drinks of various kinds played their jiart yesterday, but the per spiring Sftvaunahians derived but little comfort from them. The sun poured its pitiless rays down in hot abundance, and every stone reflected liack an increased de gree of heat. The therm imeter began rising early and reached the lop notch at UK. The average was 87" lieing 7° higher than the average for the last fifteen years. All the stations in the district report a high temperature, the highest in tbe country. Sniithvdle lore off tiie prize with a plucky thermometer that rose to 103”. The mini mum record there was 73’, making the wide range of 80*, quite unprecedented. Jesup did her level best, but could only score 102% while Waycross fell back to 101*. The night rejiorts showed a high tempera ture all over the country, the lowest being at Marquette, Mich., where 58’ was recorded. Shreveport, La., enjoyed 86" at 10 o’clock last night. Very little rainfall is reported. A lap,ana, however, reported .5 inches. The Wilming ton districts, of ten stations, report nil aver age of .60 inches. The indications jioint to a stationary temperature and probably to day will Is: fully as warm as yesterday was. Slight disturbances occurred in the Rio Grande valley, but not of sufficient strength to move this way. IN NEW QUARTERS. The New York Pier of the Ocean Steamship Company. The Ocean Steamship Company commenced using a portion of their new pier in New York this week. It is a great improvement over the old one, and the accommodations for all departments of their immense busi ness are ample. The structure is a double-decker, with the offices above. On the pier floor it is di vided off by a central open passage way, so two vessels can load or unload at the same time, one at each side of the pier. It is well arranged for quick work in this re spect, and has all the facilities needed. The offices are all upstairs, save that of the receiving freight clerks. The passengers ascend at the street end of tho building, procure their tickets, and descend to the vessel from the river end, thus saving tiie old-time perilous journey from the entrance to the vessel through tiie tangle of teams usually on the pier. This alone is a great Deneftt., and one tiie traveler will feel thankful for. The work is not nearly all completed yet, awl will not be finished before Sept. 20. Local Personal. Mr. Marion 51. Bridges has been ap pointed second purser on the steamship Na oooehee. Mr. J. Dunwody left for Atlanta on the Central last night. Ho went to pay a visit to his family. Messrs. J. H. Hunter and D. Hogan were among tiie passengers on tho steamship Tallahassee which sailed for New York yes terday. Among the passengers on the steamship Chattahoochee which arrived yesterday from New York, were C. H. Connerat and J. E. Grady. Rev C. H. Strong left yesterday, on the steamship Tallahassee, for New York. He goes North for a brief respite from his min isterial duties. Mr. John 51. Guerard and wife were pas sengers by the steamship Tallahassee, which sailed yesterday for New York. They go North for a summer vucatiou. Mrs. Fannie AVay, wife of Mr. Charlton H. Way, Consul General at St. Petersburg, will leave on the Chattahoochee, on Friday, to join her husband at his post of duty. Capt. W. 11.

LITTLE GOSSIP FROM THE STREET AND SIDEWALK. Dashes Here and There by the News Reporters Yesterday’s Happenings Told in Brief Paragraphs—Pickings at Police Headquarters. There were four arrests for fighting on the streets, and two for drunkenness yesterday. The Sons and Daughters of Debora will meet at 111 o’clock to-day to attend tho fu neral of Stephen Sevens. Col. Deveaux, of the First Battalion of Georgia Volunteers (colored) says that John Reilly, who made the disturbance at Thun derlmlt Monday, was not quartermaster of the Lone Star" Cadets but of the Georgia Cadets, a company not connected with the battalion at all. Signal Observer E. C. Hanner, of this station, wrote to the Chief Signal Officer last Friday volunteering to go to Key West to relieve the observer there, who is ill. He expects to hear to-day or to-morrow regard ing it. Mr. Hnnner certainly is a courage ous young man to thus boldly face the fever scourge, and if anyone could remain there unscathed he probably could. A cartridge or torpedo exploded under a horse-car wheel on Liberty street, near Houston, at 5 o’clock last nigbt and an im mense crowd was quickly attracted by the repiort. Tho residents in several piarts of the city complain greatly of tho vicious boys and others who place these explosives on the track. The cartridges are dangerous and several narrow escapes from the flying bullets have been reported. Messrs. Freid A' Hicks, proprietors of the Market Hi stmnant, very kindly sent to the Morning News yesterday, the first lot of rice birds that have been brought in. They were somewhat unlike most of the rice birds seen in the market, for instead of hav ing feathers on them, they were dressed only in toast, and it was a becoming cos tume. If the others that ooine in are as nice as those the restauranteurs sent to this office, this will be a glorious year for epi cures. Between 7 and 8 o’clock Monday night John Armstrong, (colored) the second cook on the steamer Katie, fell overboard and was drowned. No one saw him fall over board, but the plunge in the water was heard by a gentleman on the boat, who looked out of one of the windows at the side of the boat and saw Armstrong struggling and sink out of sight iiefore anything could tie done to rescue him. This was his first trip, and nothing was known of him on the boat, except that he belonged to Augusta. Charleston Gossip. The annual review and inspection of the Eutaw Light Dragoons will take place at Eutawviliy to-day. As it will be impossi ble for Adjutant and Inspector General M. L. Bonham, Jr., to be present at the inspec tion, Capt. J. L. Weber, of the staff of Brig. Gen. Charles St. G. Sinkler has been de tailed to represent him on the occasion. Lovers of the antique can see at the store of Messrs. S. Thomas, Jr., & Bro., on King street, an interesting relic of the Revolu tion, in the shape of Gen. Francis Marion’s snuff box. The box was presented by Gen. Marion to Col. Singleton, a kinsman, and a member of his staff, and was presented to its present owner, Capt. Sim Adkins, the Nestor of Charleston bar, by Col. Single ton’s daughter over forty-five years ago. “There was very little information ob tainable yesterday in reference to the Sav annah river freshet,” said yesterday’s News and Courier. “The factors here have gen erally come to tho conclusion, from letters previously received from their correspond ents, and from the stage of maturity at which the crop has arrived, that the harvest will be an absolute failure. They think, as do some of the planters, that some of the rice may be saved, but not in such quanti ties ns would make it in any <’ gree a com pensation for the general desti iction of the staple in the overflowed ftelds.” Avery painful lint not serious accident occurred to a little daughter of Mr. John McMillan,on King street, near the corner of Queen street Monday afternoon. The little girl, who is only about 3 years of age, was playing on the pavement when one of the iee wagons of Bayer & Cos. came along. The child endeavored to run across the street but slipped and fell under the wagon, one of the rear wheels of which passed over the lower part of her body. The driver im mediately went to the rescue of the little sufferer, who was taken into her house near by and cared for. The most painful of the injuries is to the lower part of one of the child's legs. It is stated, however, that the twine has not been broken. The face of the child is also bruised, possibly by the fall upon the street. A local division of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers was formed in Charleston some time ago. The organiza tion has just been perfected, however, and is known as the Jennings Division, No. 340, of the Brotherhoiwi of Locomotive En gineers, being named in honor of Mr. J. J. Jennings, an engineer on the Northwestern railroad, who has taken a very active part in getting up the organization. The local division has been started under very prom isiiig auspices. The following are its offi -ers: Chief Engineer, W. F. Waters; First Eu fineer, L. M. Raymond; Second Engineer, . H. Sneed; First Assistant Engineer, E. A. Wagmm; Second Assistant Engineer, G. S. Hazel; Third Assistant Engineer, W. 11, Dunning; Guide, W. H. Martin; Chap lain, Rev. J. D. Wyld; Delegate to Inter national Convention, .1. J. Jennings. Monday afternoon two of Mr. S. M. Daw sou's children, one a little girl 6 years old and the other a boy still younger were play ing in front of their home in Calhoun street, opposite Wall, when they were very rudely handled, and the boy was thrown to the ground by a colored girl. Mr. Dawson naturally interfered and pushed the girl aside, when Cupid Horlbeek, an obstreper ous colored moil, who keep* a store in the vicinity, and who boasts, it is said, that his cousin killed n white mania 1*76, took part, in the affair and struck Mr. Dawson, being backed up by three or four other colored men. In the melee which fol low.xl, Mr. Dawsou was struck in the mouth with a brick and his children were roughly handled, although s -riously hurt. There is no telling what might have happened, however, had not several of Mr. Dawson’s friends arrived on the scene and saved him from further attack. There was no police ninn at hand to make an arrest, but Mr. Dawson is determined to have the case brought before a trial justice in order to get redress fur tho outrageous treatment of himself and children. The colored men and women who loaf in that section are a great source ol annoyance to the residents. Skinr.y Men.

The most interesting game of base ball tliut has been played in this city during the present season took place at the park yester day between the Amateurs and Warrens. The game was skillfully played and the er rors were comparatively few.

SEVENTEEN GOOSE EGGa New Orleans Wins a Game in One Inning—Arrests for Sunday Playing. Memphis, Tenn., Aug. 16.—Owing to the threatening aspect of the weather the at tendance this afternoon at the game be tween Memphis and New Orleans was small. Just before the game was called Dave Force was led out into the field, and presented with a handsome silk umbrella, the gift of the Memphis team. Tom Brennan, man ager of the New Orleans Club, made tho presentation speech, which Force replied to in his usual happy style. The game was close and exciting up to the sixth inning, neither club having scored, but in the last half of the fatal sixth. Rowell led off with a home ran, knocking the ball over the right field fence. This brake the ice, and when the inning was finished, New- Orltans had scored six runs, due to the bunching of hits and errors of Andrews and Doyle. These wore the only runs made during the game. McVey, of the visitors, carried off the honors by his brilliant work in centre field, capturing three hits after long rums, each of which seemed good for three bags. Powell, in right field, also did brilliant work. The score by innings and summary follow: New Orleans 00000600 x— 6 Memphis 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0— 0 Batteries Aydelotte and Vaugban for New Orleans, McKeogli and Crotty for Memphis. Base hits—New Orleans 10, Memphis i. Errors—Memphis 2, New Orleans 3. ARRESTED FOR SUNDAY PLAYING. Immediately after the game two Deputy Sheriffs appeared upon the grounds and ar rested both teams that had participated in the Sunday game.
