CARDOZO ARRESTER.
F. L, (.'ardo//) was arrested on last Sat
urday, at the instance of the Special In
vestigating Committee, upon the charge
nf improperly paying out while State
Treasurer money which wns appropriated
for other purposes. Thc instance cited
is thc payment of over $10,000 to thc
linn of Thou. W. Price .&, Co., of Phila
delphia, when no appropriation hud
been made ! ? pay thc account. It is in
timated thal thc firm of Price & Co. had
much to do in keeping up the Union
If>niltl, which was Chamberlain and
Cardozo'u paper, and hence his diversion
of thc public money. He wa? hailed in
the sum of twenty thousand dollars, and
will bc tried in October. Thus another
cx-ofilcial is in thc snares of the law, and
still the investigating committee is not
through with its work. Who next?
THE WAR FOR WAURN.
Strike on the Beltimore and Ohio Rail
road, in Y/eat Vhglnla. extends to other
Roads and States-The Militia called
out-Federal Troops sent to the cccno
of conflict---Fighting at Martinsburg,
Baltimore and Pittsburg.
tilB CAUHK OP TI1K 8TKIKK.
In order to understand tho cause
which has produced the terrible conflict
between the employers and employees of j
several of the leading railroads in thu
North, wc subjoin tho following brief ac
count going back to its inception taken
from the New York Herald:
On tho 1st of July the lhiUimorc and
Ohio Railroad issued an order to thu
ciTect that on and after the 16th inst, the
wages of all employees receiving over $1
i?cr day would bo reduced ton per cont.
Phis was done, as claimed, hy the com
pany on account of the reductions in
freight rates, and tho samo order had
Iireviously boen issued by tho other trunk
ines. Tuc employees throughout the
country claim that not long sinco their
wages" wero reduced from $2.25 and $2 to
$1.75 and $1.50, which they stood with
out a murmur, but that now, in addition
to tito proposed reduction of ten per cent.,
they ara not to bc allowed to make but
lifteon days in a month. This, they say,
will not furnish them with tho barest
means of subsistence. For example,
fifteen days at $1.85 per day is $20.25 ;
board is, at tho lowest estimate, twenty
five cents per meal ; thirty days at sev
enty-five cents is $22.50; this brings
them in debt $2.25 per month for board
alono. They also claim that tho com
pany .will find it au up hill job to find
men to fill tho places of tho present om
ployccsj and lose thousands of dollars by
employing inexperienced hands. The
firemen and brakemen employed in tho
city say that tho first cut was made on
their pay in 1873. They had then bad a
quarter of a day deducted from the time
allowed on a trip which previously occu
pied a day and a quarter, and a similar
reduction equal to twenty per cent, mado
in all cases. On Sundays they had been
allowed a half day's oxira pay, which
had also been deducted. Tho quarter of
n day allowed them at tho depot when
called and not sent out wtv ohio stricken
from their pay, which it 'hat time was
$2.25 per day. On August 15,1876, this
waa reduced to $1.75 and additional work
given them. They wcro compelled io
tako trains greater distances and put up
their engines, which gave them thro
hours additional work daily without
compensation. By this last reduction
tho firemen Mid brakemen of tho first
class received $1.58 per day and tho sec
ond class 91.85, with but four days w< 'k
in tho week. Tho engineers formerly re
ceived 98.75 per day and a bonus of
twenty-nvG cents per day for overy other
month. They now receive $2.00 per day
and con- ictors $2.25. Whilo neither of
the latter had joined in the striko they
sympathized with tho movement and lent
it all tho aid they could.
A largo number of tho strikers assem
bled at Martinsburg, West Virginia,,
stopped nil freight trains, and would per
mit nono to depart from tho place. Tho
militia were cautd out, and Tuesday the
17th inst., occurred tho first conflict.
DETAILS OP THfi RIOT AT MARTINSBURO.
Tlie following is published as an accu
rate account of tho collision at Martins
burg on Wednesday morning between
Captain Faulkner's militia and tho
sinkers: Tho militia company was de
ployed on both sides of a train which was
about starting, an engineer and fireman
having volunteered to work. As the
train reached tho BWI?CII one ot vue
strikers, William Ynndergriff, seized tho
switch ball, to run tho train on a side
track. Johu Foisal, a member of the
militia company, jumped froa. the pilot
of tho cngipo .ana attempted to replace
tito switch so that the train should go on.
Vandergriff fired two shots at Poisal,one
causing a slight flesh wound in the side
of the. head. , Poisal returned tho fire,
shooting VandergrifT through the jip.
Soveral other shots woro firca at Ya.' !cr
griff, ?tri Ww* him in the head ltd atm.
When tho fifing was heard a vcr - .urge
crowd of rallroadcrB and citizens colu jtcd,
arid tho feeling became intense. The
volunteering engineer and fireman of the
train ran off as soon as the shooting be
gan. CUnt-in Faulkner then made tho
suiicrdeni that he had performed his
duty, and if tho train mon deserted their
posts hs e$tUd do nothlner more: The

RIOT AND BLOODSHED IN RA ETI MORE.
The Governor of Maryland having re

from Cumberland, stating that all froight
trains were stopped thcro and the crows
taken from thom by the strikers, ordered
Gen. J. R. ^Herbert to proceed with a

A BU"HOING MAW.
Thc crowd collected rapidly on nil
sides of thc building, und in letts thai
half an hour tho street? approaching it
were blocked up with a surging mass of
h u niau ?ly, numbering fully five thousand.
Four policemen jtood at the door of thc
armory for the purpose of preventing thc
entrance of any Lut members of the reg
iment. These the crowd openly defied
with hoots, hisses and curses, coupled
with every manlier of abuse. When a
mau in soldier's uniform appeared or
attempted to make his way through the
crowd bc was net Upon, beaten, and in
one or two cases thrown over the bridge
into thc stream below. Some feeing
what awaited them, and being unarmed,
returned to their homes. The crowd
commenced burling missiles at the build
ing, and the whiz of an occasional bullet
was benni amid the din caused by their
shrieks and howls.
it Kr it KAT <?K rm: ouAitns.
It becoming evident that the guard at
the door were only endangered by the
stones thrown nt them they were ordered
inside and ihc doors, which wi re of heavy
plate glass, were closed Tho retreat of
the guard ann hailed by thc mob as an
indication thal the military were intimi
dated, and a shower of bricks and stones
were lin ried at their retreating forms, and
the doors, and windows shattered and an
officer badly injured.
The crowd in the stn el meanwhile was
constantly increasing and becoming every
moment more and more furious. The
Captain of the police of that district
next appeared upon the seem- and ex
pressed his inability to do anything with
the force at his coin maud to quell tho
riot.
('HEPARIN?. KOK 'IHK KU AV.
Inside thc armory all was busy willi
quiet preparation. The companies were
being formed and each man furnished
with twenty rounds of ammunition. The
members appeared calm and collected,
notwithstanding thc assaults made upon
the outside. At fifteen minutes past
eight p. m., thc preparations being com
pleted, thc order was given for Company
I to leave the armory, thc pol? e having
been previously notified to open thc doors
and then stand aside. The door was
only wide enough to admit of the passage
of two men at once, and on their appear
ance a perfect shower of missiles fell upon
them, followed by the more deadly con
tents of revolvers and other small anus.
Thc utmost confusion i OSUud. The mi
litia seemed paralyzed, but, regaining
their composure, marched out into thc
street. As they formed in line thc first
rank drew up their rifles and poured a
deadly volley into the muss of humanity
in front of them, which scattered thc
crowd temporarily in every direction.
T1IK MOJI IIAI.i.V.
A few moments' delny on thc part of
the troops enabled the mob to return to
the field from the alleys and cellars where
they had taken refuge, and a second at
tack was made, not only with bricks and
stones, but with numerous small arms.
This was repulsed, ns had been tho for
mer. Tho nouses in the neighborhood
were pierced with bullets, .ind the win
dows lor a willare shattered ; tho street
was strewn with debris, and the dend'aiid
wounded were weltering in blood. The
troops had moved but a few yards from
thc armory and thc crowd was constantly
augmented by people hurrying to thc
-pot in search ot friends whom they feared
might be in thc metre. Leaving tho armory
the soldiers marched up (ray to Hal tim ore
drcct, followed by the howling mob. On
turning into Baltimore street they were
igoin attacked. It was nearly nine
o clock and thc streets were thronged
with people in the pursuit of legitimate
business. These were swayed aside by
thc throng surrounding the troops, and
every moment or two n Hash of musketry
and tho rattling of a volley added to tho
wild tumult of the scene.
DESPERATE KIGHTINU.
Between (Jay and Calvert, on Balti
more r.treet, in which location all the
newspaper offices aro situated, the troops
actually fought their way step by step,
and tho battle did not cease until the
depot had been reached.
ACTION OF THE Kl PHI REGIMENT.
Tho Fifth regiment, which is tho crack
corps of thc city, assembled ut their
armory at the sarno hour as tho Sixth,
and left for thc depot nt about seven
o'clock. Thc route of the Fifth lay in a
direct line south, through Eutaw streut, a
distance. ( '.bout ono mile to the depot.
On leaving the armory they were greeted
with cheers and rounds of applause from
an immenso crowd of thc better portion
of t'ne citizens. They numbered 250
men, each of whom were, liko the Sixth,
provided with twenty rounds of car
tridges. All along the route they mot
with demonstrations of approval from
tho people who thronged tho sidewalks.
On their arrival nt Camden Station the
tono and humor of the crowd took a de
cided change, and they were hooted and
jeered by several hundred mcu who bad
congregated in that neighborhood. No
notice was taken of it until the rear com
panies filed into tho depot, when they
were attacked by tho mob with stones,
bricks and bludgeons, and many of them
seriously injured. A squad of police,
who went to th"' - relief, were also rough
ly handled MIL .riven back by the riot
ers and several of them knocked dowi.
and severely beaten. Several muskets
wore abo taken from tho prostrate guards
men, which were, however, recaptured in
a gallant charge made by ono of. tho
companies with fixed bayonets. Toe
extra ammunition for tho regiment had
been carried into tho armory and placed
in front of tho ticket office. An attempt
was made by tho rioters to capture this,
but they were twice repulsed.
Upon tho march of tho Fifth regiment
to thc depot, it was also attacked and
several ot its members more or less
seriously injured. Upon thc occurrenco
of these events tho Oovernor counter
manded his order ordering tlieso regi
ments to " ..nbevusnd, and they remained
in tb? city of Baltimore to secure its
peace.
BI.OOliY RIOT IN PITTSBURG l.AHT SAT
URDAY.
The firemen and brakemen who are
resisting tho reduction of ten per cent,
from their wages collected nt tho outer
depot of tho company on In t Saturday.
Tho order was given to tho State militia
io clear the track, 'inc troops attempted
to carry out this order, nnd wcro stoned
and fired at by tho mob. The militia
fired into thc crowd, killing six and
wounding eleven.
5 p. m.-Tho military wcro ordered to
clear tho croping at Twenty-eighth street.
The crowd attacked them with stones,
and tho military fired a volley, when tho
crowtl returned the fire from revolvers.
Four wcro killed outright, and n number
wounded.
5.40 p. m.-A drendful riot occurred nt
the outer depot of the Pennsylvania Hail
road an hour ago. A number of men
and several women and children were
killed and wounded. S'-vcn dead have
been taken from thc scent, and it is not
known how many may yet bc gathered
up. Tho firing was dono by thc Phila
delphia militia on their own men, and
ene Of the Pittsburg RolfGf.ni wan tilled.
Tho bystanders all say tho fire was un
Srevoked. Thc excitement was tremen
dous. A Urge body of men left for Al
leghany arsenal a few moments ago, with
tho avowed purpose of seining the arms
stored there, to bo used in repelling tho
militia.
At twenty minutes to 1 o'clock tho
Philadelphia troops left tho Union depot
for tho sceno of tho disturbance, march
ing out along thc track, and proceeded
by tho sherill* and his pow. Expecting
to fail in an effort to disperse the strikers,
tho nbferiff jvauld endeavor to moko
! arrest*, and call upon , tho military fbr tho
'JWrt^toUtanw^ arrived at
Twouty-oighth Bittet shortly before t>
o clock, the railroad tracks at that point
being completely blocked ?rilli striker?. \
The Black Hussars of Philadelphia were 1
onlcrcd to clear thc railroad crossing, but ?
not being able to do so, another company I
was ordered to their assistance. Thc t
..lilitary advanced with fixed bayonets. <
hut were met with a shower of stones and j
..fissiles from the crowd. They opened
fire on the crowd indiscriminately and in '
rapid succession. The crowd retreated
toward Hast Liberty. There is a long
list of killed ami wounded. The terrific
results of the volley hus caused intense
excitement throughout the city.
At this hour, 9 p. m., the < richement is
raging over the city, which is virtually
in the hands of an armed mob, comp ?ed
ol'laborers and iron workers, coal miners,
stevedores, and others who are in full
sympathy with the strikers. A large
mob visited Johnston's Gun Factory, on
Smithfield .street, ami armed themselves,
und a stiil larger crowd has just finished
the demolition of Brown's establishment
on Wood street, which they completely
gutted, then marched down Fifth avenue
with drums heating and flags (lying.
They number nearly three thousand.
As yet they have not shown an inclina
tion to destroy anything hut railroad
property. The Philadelphia militia ure
besieged in the round house at thc outer
depot, which is pelted with stones and
other missiles. Threats are made by the
striken to destroy the I nion depot.
Later.-The rioters have captured
three pieces ?d' ordinance belonging to
l\ impp's battery.
Clf.MllKltl.ANI?, Ml?., July 22.
The strikers, supported by thc boat
men, are hold and defiant and threaten
serious work .should thu Company attempt
to move thc ears to-night.
PilTSniTKil, July 21 -1 p. Ul.
Thu outer depot and yards of thc Penn
sylvania Railroad have been abandoned
by all thc troops. The Philadelphia men
went down Pennsylvania avenue and the
Pittsburg buttery noys spit ed their guns
and came down to the Union depot. The
mob have things all their own way.
The Roundhouse and shops, together
with thc engines and a number ol cars,
were entirely destroyed by lire, lt is re
ported about twenty were killed and a
number wounded.
Pon T J KI: vis, N. V., .Inly 22-noon.
Things look serious here. The crisis
of the railway strike in this city, was
reached yesterday evening about 5o'clock,
when the Philadelphia troops tired upon
tlie crowd. Thc terribly fatal effects of
the shots fired by the troops exasperated
citizens ns well as strikers, and in less
than an hour workingmen from thc roll
ing mills, coal mines and various manu
facturing establishments established a
scene ot conflict, determined to have
revenge on the troops and railroad
officials. It WUK stated that ( len. Pearson,
had directed the troops to lire before any
resistance had been made, and the fact
that many of those kil'.ed and wounded
had gathered on the hillside merely as
spectators, served to increase the bitter
ness of thc crowd. Ry eight o'clock in
the evening mobs were moving about
sacking .dores to secure arms, breaking
into thc armories of the military compa
nies and preparing themselves to execute
the threats of massacrcing thc entire
Philadelphia command, fly this time
the military had withdrawn from Twen
ty-eight street, where the first conflict
took place, and ordered to one of the
roundhouses where they could find better
protection. About 10 o'clock in the
evening it mob numbering several thou
sand had congregated about thc Round
house. They had previously clotured
thu guns belonging lo Hutchinson's Bat
tery, a local organization, and planted
them so ns to command the Roundhouse.
Several solid shots were fired at the
building and a breach made in thc walls,
lint when the infuriated mob attempted
to rush in thc military were ordered to
fire. Thc volley of musketry which fol
lowed, and the rumor that thc Gatling
gu IM of tho command were being brought
into requisition, cnuscd a panic, and the
mob fled precipitately for several squares,
the military meanwhile keeping up the
firing. Thu rioters returned, however,
but wcro again driven hack.
Finding it difficult to dislodge the mil
itary from thc building, the crowd re
solved to burn them out. in conse picnee
of thc blockade, thc sidings iu the outer
depot yard, ns well as those extending
eastward HOIIIC three or four miles, were
crowded with freight cars filled with pro
duce and merchandise of all kindB, be
nnies a number of oil cake and coal can
were piled up in mass. While a portion
of tho mob surrounded thc building ifj
which thc military had taken refuge
large bodies ??et fire to thc oil cars, and
in a moment the huge volumes of blac?
smoko which rolled in every directior
told that thc work of destruction hat
commenced. The sight of the flame:
seemed to literally crnzc the rioters, som<
of whom rushed wildly about with flam
ing torches, applying them to cars in
discriminately. An alarm was sounded
and tho lire" department promptly re
sponded, but tho rioters rcfiiBcdto pcrmi
them to make any effort to extingu?s!
thc flames. They said they were deter
mined to destroy tho railroad company';
property, but to do no injury to tba
belonging to privato citizens. Trail
after train was fired by tho infiwintei
crowd. Finally, a large party of striker
captured a car filled with coko, whicl
they ran from tho Allegheny Valle
Railroad track to a siding conncctin;
with tho Pennsylvania Railroad. Thc
then procured large quantities of petrc
lou m oil, and pouring it over tho eoki
ignited tho materials. In a very fei
moments thc car was a mass of fire, an
was then pushed against thc Round
house. Tho building was soon ignite!
and thc soldiers were now compelled i
prepare to fight their way ont throug
thc frenzied mass of humanity clamorin
for their blood. Tho building did nt
burn as rapidly as desired, and thc mol
bent on rcvcngo{ rushed out on the ron
ond sent burning trains towards tli
doomed building From midtiight unt
5 o'clock this morning thc main cflbr
of tho ciowd were directed to firing tl:
buildings and cars, but, about half n
?iour hiter, thc mob which had I."en b
sieging thc military left for s< mr. une:
plained reason. This afforded tho troop
who were in actual danger of heir
roasted alive, an opportunity to cmcrf
from thc building.
Their objective point was tho Unitt
States arsenal on Butler street whero th;
expected to gain ahe-iier. Sume of li
troops fired at tho citizens ns they we

cry for revenge. When they reached tl

?C*tt^r<>d ?nd tho mid? was divided in
very small bodies. The city was in
atato of anarchy. Thousands who h,
not joined in tho pursuit of thc flccii
troops gathered about tho burning buil
inga and trains, and assisted in sprcndii
thc flames wherever they had not be
applied. By 7 o'cljck tho fire bade
tended to and cn/cloped hundreds
cars, the oxtcn?.?vo machino shops, ti
roundhouses, tho depots and office of t
Union Transfer Company, blackant!

thiel) will bc Biutv.incd ii? this iicin is
mt a trille in thc aggregate of damage
lone. While hundreds were engaged
iring thc cars and making certain de
duction of the valuable buildings at thc
)uter depot, thousands of men, women
iud children v.. rc engaged pillaging cars,
ilen with heavy sledges would oreak
>nen cars, ami the contents would be
thrown out and can lcd off by those bent
m profiting by the reign of terror. Thc
street was almost completely blockaded
by persons laboring to carry olf plunder
Ihey bad gathered together. Ju hun
ireds of instances wagons were pressed
into service to enable thieves to get away
with goods,
Mayor McCarthy, carly in the day, en
deavored to stop thc pillage, but the
handful of men at his command were un
able to control the crowd, win? were des
perate in their anxiety to secure the
goods. Pillage was checked, but the
mob tired the cars, and proceeded with
the work of destruction. It is impossible
to form au ?ilea of the amount of goods
stolen, bot hundreds of thousands will
not cover thc loss. At ll o'clock in the
morning it became apparent that some
thing mu?t bc done to check the mob,
and a number of citizens hurriedly pre
pared notices calling a mass meeting of
thc citizens to take measures to prevent
further destruction of property. The
meeting was held at noon. A committee
appointed to wait on the rioters failed to
induce them to refrain from further de
struction of property, and thc railroad
authorities could not bc found. From
the time thc military lied up lo 3 o'clock
in thc afternoon no effort had been made
to check the riot other than thc meeting
of citizens referred to. The mob worked
very quietly, and it was a noticeable fact
that lew of thc railroad employees were
engaged in the work of destruc'ion.
Here and there a man who had been dis
charged might have been seen leading a
crowd, but generally the ringleaders were
men who hail never been employed on
any railroad.
At 3:30 a burning car was run down
the grade under the sheds surrounding
thc Union depot, and the mass of pine
lumber used in the shedding over the
tracks was soon a sea of fire. Boxes of
freight received for shipment were broken
open and their valuable contents carried
oil'. After plundering tho depot for au
hour, ami when Hour, hams, and all
kinds of provisions had been carried
away, the torch was applied, mid soon
thc vast depot and company's general
offices adjoining were a mass of Hames.
The western part of Pittsburg is in thc
hands of thc rioters. Thc control of
affairs has passed from the sirileers into
the hands of the discontented labores of
all classes, and the most terrible disor
ganization exists among them. Oil cars
are set fire and pushed from point to
point for incendiary purposes. The por
tions of Knapp's battery which the rioters
captured arc strategically placed to pre
vent the soldiers approaching the city.
Sheriff Fife is certainly killed. Gen.
Pearson is said to bo dying in the Round
house where thc soldiers arc besieged.
They owe their present safety from mas
sacre to having a Catling gun in thc
Roundhouse which tho troops seem to
handle with discretion and effect. Dead;
bodies are lying in the vicinity which
the rioters are afraid to move. J
WASHINGTON. July 21./
The Secretary of War directs Cen.
Hancock, with two strong batteries/to
occupy both Washington and Fort lic
Henry. He also, after consultation ??th
the President, has directed Cen. Fr/nch
to send a portion of his troops to Cum
berland. This is in response to a oqui
sition from Gov. Carroll, of Mar/land.
Thc Secretary of the Navy has ordered
thc vessels of the North Atlauticequad
ron to assist in transporting the troops.
Thc President has issued a proclama
tion similar to that in regard,to West
Virginia, covering the entiry United
States, and he orders the obstructionists
to disperse, on or before 12 o'clock to,
morrow, July 22. This proclamation,
however, nlludes to Maryland and Cum
berland, and to the cal! of Governor
Carroll. Tho Secretary of Var has or
dered Gen. Hancock to Ballimore.
Latest from thc strike.
PITTSBURG, July 23.-Thc citizens
early in the day affected ali organization
which has subdued thc rioters and re
stored thc control of the ?own to its mu
nicipal authorities. The/ have invited
thc fugitive Philadelphia soldiers to re
turn, assuring, them of protection. Head
ed by the mayo , tho citizens marched
to the wharf ana prevtrntcd accessions tc
thc thieves from the ihrer.
Thc disorderly element should not no?
be called strikers, because the real
strikers arc rendering effective aid to the
municipal authorities in maintaining
order. Thc mayor nas possession of the
cannon and most ot the arms used by thc
mob, and the reign of terror may be re
garded as over.
BUFFAI.0, July 2-3-7 p. m.-The mob
reinforced by Irr^?e numbers, called a'
tho car shops i vb Lake Shore and Erh
Railroad C?mpralos and ordered all th?
workmen thereto quit work, which the]
did forthwith. No serious demonstra"
lions are as jct being made. About <
o'clock this "afternoon a Bufialo am
Jamestown train, which leaves the Eli

remonstrated with the strikers, statin;
that the-o had been no reduction c
wages or. their road, nor lind there bee
any since its inauguration. The offectc
this statement was the bringing back e

of the Sixty-fifth regiment, with aboi
thirty men and three officers, foolishl
proceeded to tho roundhouse to retake

of derision from tho "crowd, and under

At a meeting of railroad men at i

The roads affected by this prohibition are

thc Narrow Gunge Roads.
Trains were -topped at Rending, Pa.,
and two cabordcs bred about ll o clock.
A one hundred thousand dollar bridge
over the Schuylkill has been fired and
totally destroyed. The object of burning
the bridge seems to be to prevent the
passage of troops toward I larnsburg. A n

"".e Federal : ?overiiuient, in a leeblc

them within protecting distance ol' the

there is no doubt it is hideously exposed,
and there are many millions in it. Thc
following curiously involved sentence,
which is official, gives the idea: "It is
not tlie iiiriwMC of the government to

safe trifusportution of the mails except
incidentally while protecting its own

All Sub-Granges are earnestly request
ed "to keep chv.r on the hooks." The
quarterly dues are so small now, that
very few delinquents can justify much
delay on tin: .seme- of ?tani times.
Dues for the second quarter of this
yearnhould now be in thc hands of thc
Secretary of P. G., P. H., ami ready for
payment to the Secretary of the S.r.te
G range. Only two Sub-Granges-242
and 204-have responded with true
Grange promptness, ami are "clear on
the books" to 30th June, 1S77. Thc
following have paid to 3ist March, 1877 :
Nos. 71, 141, 17i?, 177, 214, 215, 251, 204,

Secretary Grange No. 44.-Section 84,
page 33, of the Parliamentary Guide,
means that you shall send no part of the
charter fees to State Grange, but that in
all cases where you receive members after
a Grange is orgnuiaed, then you send
part of tho membership fcc to the State
Grange, viz. : One dollar for males and
fifty cents for females. As to monthly
ar.d quarterly due?, nil members, whether
charter or otherwise, pay them alike.
Reports from Masters of Pomona
Granges for quarter cnaing June 30 arc
coming in, cont- "ning complaints that
they cannot get reports from thc Masters
of some of tho .subordinale Granges,
j This is to most earnestly request and urge
all Masters who hayo not already done so
to ; jort at once for the past quarter.
This is required by thc State Grange and
must bc done, and a continued refusal or
neglect to do so will most certainly work
a revocation of chartar. Let all Masters
attend to it, and sec that their Secretaries
also make their quarterly reports prompt
ly. Masters of romona Granges arc cx
gectcd to continue to call on delinquent
franges for reports from Masters and
Secretaries, and'if not received in a rca
sonahlo time, send some member of Po
mona Grange to visit Master and Secre
tary of each delinquent Grange, and in
quire into thc condition of it, and revive
lc if possible. In all cases where this is
j done and the report is that tho Grange is
hopelessly dormant, then let the Masters
of Pomonas report to this office to havo
charters revoked, and let such members
as desire to remain in thc order join other
Graugcs. It. is fur better to have fewer
Granges and members zealously doing
their duty and reflecting credit upon the
order, than a large number disregarding
their obligations and reflecting discredit
upon their brethren.
