Alter a long speech, going over much
ground made familiar in the former de

and issued fire and marine policies,
suspended business today.
Washington, June 24. The follow
ing special notice was today issued by
the general superintendent of the rail
way mail servioe: i
"By order of the Postmaster General,
the clerks named below have been re
moved from the service for insubordina
tion in conspiring to obstruct the regula
tion of the service by the department and
to injure its efficiency. They have se
cretly attepted to form an association
with a view; to dictate action to the de
partment, and many of them have also
been guilty of deception towards their
fellow-clerks by representing the pur
pose of such association to be merely a
benevolent one, and thus entangled them.
At the same time the postmaster gen
eral direct1, me to express his gratifica
tion that ao far comparatively only a
small number could be found to engage
in such a scheme and hia acknowledg
ments to those who have kept the de
partment informed. A list of twenty
seven olerks in the railway mail service
appended,' all of them being located
18
west of Pittsbnre, north of the Ohio
river and eifct of Omaha, a majority of
them being in Ohio, Indiana and Illi
nois. The postmaster general in further
explanation of the causes which re
sulted in the; issuance of this notice, in
an interview this afternoon said that sev
eral weeks ago information was received
by the department that a few postal
clerks who were apparently conscious
that there; were reasons for their re
moval from ! the ; service were en
deavoring I to j enlist the co-operation
of the postal clerks g nerally in an asso
ciation to be formed for the purpose of
interposing their opinion on the ques
tions of removals by threateniug a strike
or the combined resignations of many
clerks at one time,, to. menace the de
partment with embarraemeiit. The at
tempt to enlist general co-operation
failed, the; greater number of postal
oierks who were approached on the sub
ject refusing to entertain it. It was the
plan of the originators, after the initia
tion of a member, during which he was
bound by an oath to secrecy and obe
dience, to; secure his resignation in
blank and to have all resignations the
hands of th executive eommittee, to be
filed simultaneously, and require the
clerka who were members of the associa
tion to; abandon their run at a time to
be fixed J- Their object was to
. a
maintain their own position ana
tenure .of ' office. The department
has waitedi until the principal
ringleaders and executive officers were
certainly known and those removed em
brace thoses who have been specially
active. "In point of fact," continued tho
postmaster 'general, "the scheme never
secured general favor and the depart
ment is not desirous 01 punishing oy
removal those who have been cheated
into a nominal oo-oporation, but does not
wait for resignations from any who have
been aofiveiifl the enterprise." "It is
a curious commentary on the tolly of
men," aidthespeaker, "that upon ex
amining the filea in the cases of men
who are removed by this order it ap
neara that!verv tnanv of them have
been complained against for somo reason
and their removals sought before, but
the department had refused to make the
removals, and an outcry had been made
in their oases for their retention. Their
position would have been quite secure
bad they not forfeited it by lmubordi
nation. The headquarters of the move
ment baa been in Indiana. Some little
effort was made to organise at Chicago
and other places, but with no success

Yesterday, ss St. John's day, has a
high place in the Masonic calendar.
Right worthily did the grand lodge of
that noble order observe it. With 1m-
. 1 l . 1
pri sHive ceremonies it lata tne corner
stone of an induetrialbuilding at the
Oxford orphan asvlum. There was a
large gathering of people there, and
Masonic lodges in various parts of the
State were well represented. It was es
timated that 500 Masons were present
and fully 3,500 persons had the pleas
ure of witnessing the exercises and of
hearing the speeches.
The train left Raleigh with S3 on
board, most of them Masons. His ex
cellency Gov. Scales was of the par
ty, as was also the grand master 01 Ma

took on a number at Henderson, which
place it left at 9.15. , It waa crowded
when at y.40 it reached Uxlord. At
the depot the Granville Grays, Capt.
Bobbitt, were drawn up in line and sa

Masons also joined in doing the honors.

thence to the court house. ;
There were many strangers in Ox-

was evident that good old Granville
couLty was well represented. At the
spacious grounds of the asylum the
acres of white-oaks gave a generous

erected near the building, while seats

wit Join and benevolence, and who had
so managed it as to make the State see
