FIRST ERECTED IN THIS STATE Exercises by Grand Lodge Oration by Col. Julian S. Carr Verv jm . Audience Present The Lodze Meeting Last Night. Thei corner-stone for Wilmington's magnificent Masonic Temple, the first ever erected in North Carolina, was auspiciously laid yesterday afternoon at 5 o'clock by the Grand Lodge in the presence of a large concourse of Wil minjrtonians and visitors. ! According to the pre arranged pro gramme the members of the: Grand Lodge; and Master Masons assembled at St. J ohn's Hall at 3.30 o'clock and formed a procession for the march to the scene of the ceremonies, : Plan tagehet Commandery acting as escart for the Grand Lodge. The parade was a beautiful one and the marching was in tune to stirring and especially good music by the Second Regiment Band.!'- : ' - ' When the members of the Grand Lodge and others who were to partici pate in the programme had taken their places on the improvised platform, and the Second Regiment Band had rendered an appropriate selection. Grand; Master R. J. Nobles, of Selma, made the formal announcement; as to the purpose of the assemblage, and called j upon Grand Chaplain A. M. Simms, of Raleigh, to invoke the blessings of God. The Grand Chap lain's prayer was able, comprehensive and fervent.

Carr were the consecration of the, stone, the grand honors the delivery of the imple ments of architecture to the architect Mr. Chas. McMillen, the proclama tion by the Grand Master and a selec tion by the Cecelia quartette. The Orator Introduced. ToCoL A. M. Waddell, Mayor of Wilmington, was assigned the pleasant duty of introducing the orator of the day, Col. Julian S. Carr. Addressing the members of the Grand Lodge . of the Masons of Wilmington and the assembled concourse of people,- Col. Waddell said: "Five years ago Wilmington was honored with the presence of the Grand Lodge of North Carolina, the occasion being the centennial of St. John's: Lodge No. 1, This - was an especial honor, being the first time in the history of the lodge that they had met outside of Raleigh since 1791. Features of that occasion were the reading of a historv of St. John's Lodge No. 1 and sketches of many of the leading Masons of the LiQdge. "It is my pleasant duty to intro duce the orator of the occasion. This is especially pleasant, because in child hood he was my next door neighbor and through all these years he has been my good friend. He was a member of mv regiment during the civil war. and only a few days ago he was chosen Major Graneral of all the United (Jon- federate veterans. He has been emi nently successful in business, lie is widely i known as a benefactor: and eenerous philanthropist, a bright Mason, a ereat business man and a true-hearted North Carolinian. "Ladies and gentleman I intro duce Col. Julian 8. Carr." ! Col. Carr's Oration CoL Carr was greeted with a perfect storm of applause. lie spoke ior probably an hour, delivering a mas terful address, which to publish in full would reouire four or five columns of space. In his introductory remarks, Uol. Car said : - To be honored with the privilege of addressing my brethren of the mys- tic. tie. as represented in tne masonic bodies here to day is an evidence of esteem for which any man might be profoundly grateful, but when the oc inn is the laviner of the corner stone for a temnie ot masonry, in wnicu to teach the truths and practice' the vir tues that for more than a century have made the Cape Fear illustrious in the annals of the craft, ana wnen the scene of the memorable event of this day is the beautiful metropolis of the State, the birth place ana tne wmo of Revolutionary patriots, of scholars and Hi vines, of soldiers and statesmen without number; and of Deauty ana unt. error and devotion, in the' fair women, who add the splendor of their loveliness ana purity to me iiu.lv oi their ancestral heritage, then humility nride. I am as a pilgrim with staff and scallop-shell amid the iiallowAd memories that cluster here ati t.h a classic irround rich with Ma- emnin Hoarls of love: fain would Ire- move my sandals, and rather than lift my voice, would listen to the counsel Thi u-c linked with the future of f,o fomniA wVinsn foundinsT we cele brate wul be historic, and as such brings to mind men who have niofrnMr-nn the -Cape Fear. Whia won fhA hnttlfl of t&6 AsheS and Moores, Hoopers, Harnetts and Lillingtons. Here the first Committee of Safety in 1774, now a century and a quarter ago, with such patriots as I-...J - rl VXnrrrr .. Atlfirum. Walker and the like, dared to tell a Royal Governor that he could not have free passage for his Council to meet on the decks of a British ship of war; aye, although their home lay in peril of her hostile guns. :; - Here a free people, in open, day light, tore off the grasp of oppression, for which others were lauded who ventured to do the same thing at night, and in disguise. , From these sands, Howe led the Second Nortk Uarolma and drove Dunmore and his naval allies from Norfolk. Here lived the gallant minute-men, who o with Lillington and Ashe won under Cas well immortal glorv at Moore's creek. William ; Hooper, " of the fifty-six signers of the Declaration, sleeps un der the; shadow of St James. Harnett went hence to die in captivity. . Culture' and refinement made their altars here. A British Governor de clared it "the region of politeness and hospitality." Tradition preserves the memory of the elegiac poet, Boyd, of the wit of Moore, the literary skill of Pennington, the classic lore of TJovd. the critical ability of MacLaine,: the repartee or JtLowe, the genius andi science of Eustace, well known asf the friend and ! correspondent of Sterne. Time would fail to call the long roll of such illustrious citiiens as the A Hills, Cowans, McBees, De- xtosseis, j jtioimes, Meares, i,ords, Waddells. Kinssburvs and the like. distinguished in peace and war. - Brilliant with the glory of a thou sand battles, the real sunset of the day of the Confederacy was at your jport fisner, wnere a gallant band or North Carolinians, wito the immortal Whiting, fought the most formidable fleet that the world has ever seen, un til the last gun was dismounted and the last cartridge fired. ; les, the blood and fire of that dav painted the sunset of a people's hopes; mere roiiowea DUt the twilight, until black night fell at Appomattox. Said I not truly that this was hal lowed ground? : None the less is it true, that from the earliest days of our ancient craft ia this commonwealth, if a -leader were souerht in our auest of the truth. - in the journey tp- the mystic East, never have brethren looked in vain at the mouth of the Cape Fear. It neeas not that l should recount the long line of Grand Masters and of Masonic sages that have wrought while it was dav. and have departed to their reward within the veil, which tne order owes to Wilmington. Both i profane and Masonic history and tradition mark this spot as the fitting ground for the grand Masonic Temple which our hearts have longed for in North Carolina. And this duty of solemn I dedication to "Brotherly Love, Relief and Truth" we come to perform, i with thankfulness for' the past, and hope in the future. The orator referred in well rounded sentences to Masonic corner-stone lay ing ceremonies and the great truths of which they are symbolic. He scanned the history of Masonry, showing how the noble order antedates all other fraternal orders and even the spirit of association which; brought them to gether. He reviewed the rapid growth and great influence of Masonry. Referring to the strength of the order in this country. and especially in the State, he said: Yet, the Grand Lodge of North Caro lina, in its 113th year has jurisdiction over 269i Lodges, and' 11,191 Masons live within its bounds. Of these, 697 were initiated during the past year. making with all deductions, a gain of 454, or oyer 4 per cent. And the sta tistics for Norm America show that in 1897-1898. the Grand Lodge of the United States and British America rep resented; 817,227 members, a gain over the preceding year, of 14,945. (Of the Koyal Arch Masons, there were 177,- 628 and! the Knight Templars num- berea ll3,3iu.) j Col, Carr ably reviewed the vast proportions of present-day philan thropic I work throughout the world and the influence of Masonry in this great work. In conclusion he made the following reference to the new Temple, the corner-stone for which had just been laid: Mav peace and prosperity come to all Masons of whatever degree, who shall assemble within the walls we dedicate I to-day. Maj the noble escutcheon of our beloved State typify for them a future glorious in the free dom which liberty gives, and rich in the abundance that plenty pours from her cornucopiae.

The,' service was elegant and was under the direction of Mr. Richard -Warren. During the evening excel lent music was rendered by a quartette consisting of Mr. Chas. McMillen, Mr. R. H. Grant, Mr. U.

Chadbouen, ; : Postmasters New Clock Invented. The latest i invention in .clock-mak ing is a one-wheel clock made by Mr. H. Hauser, the - well known watch maker on Front street, for which he has just received a certificate of paten tability from an attorney in Washmg- ton. The clock, constructed with only one wheeL is a marvel of mechanism and is the only one of its kind ever patented. Mr. Hauser claims that the clock can be manufactured at a cost not exceeding twelve cents and re tailed at twency-five cents. He fur ther say that it is the cheapest and best timekeeper in the world and will be guaranteed to give accurate time for five years. He has already received several flattering offers from Northern firms for half interest in the : patent. Mr. Hauser's next invention is the "Speaking Clock," simplified to such an extent that it can be manufactured at no greater cost than the ordinary clock of to-day. Instead of striking the hour indicated by the hands on the clock, it has an electrical appara tus, by which the hour will be spoken in an ordinary tone of voice, similar to that of the phonograph.

TO MEET IN DETROIT. Railway Telegraph Superintend ents Choose the Place for Their 1900 Convention YESTERDAY'S SESSION HERE. Committees Appointed and Additional Mem- bers Elected Trip to Beach Test! monial to Capt. and Mrs.' W. F Williams Other Notes. The Association of Railway Tele graph Superintendents, in their eighteenth annual convention the past two days in. this city, left last night on a special S. A L. train for Norfolk, where during to-day ia the parlors of the Monticello Hotel the conclud ing session of the convention will be held. As announced yester day the cause 'of the members of the association leaving a day earlier than they had at first intended was that it was absolutely necessary for their guest of honor, Mr. Thos. A. Edison, to) leave for his home last night and, as the superintendents of telegraph were anxious to have him present during the discussion of cer tain important topics, they deemed it best to go with him . to Norfolk last night, instead of staying over here during to-day, as had at first been in tended. - i! .:. . - ' Yesterday's Session. The second day's session of the con vention was called to order at 9.30 A. M. yesterday by President Forley. Mr W. W.

Fry, of Milwaukee, and G. H. Thayer, of Chicago, Mr. G. C. Kinsman, of the Wasbash railroad, Decatur, El.", read a paper on "Road Crossing Signals." "Under Ground Cables to Railway Stations" was the subject of a paper by Mr. G. M. Dugan, of the Illinois Central railroad. The committee on time and place for holding the next meeting reported in favor of the third Wednesday. in June as the time, and Detroit, Mich., as the place.! The report was adopted. An invitation from the Masons of Wilmington: for the Superintendents of Telegraph to attend the Masonic Temple corner-stone laying cere monies at 5 o'clock, yesterday after noon was read, and a vote ol thanks tendered; also regrets that it would be impossible to accept the invitation, inasmuch as they had already made a conflicting engagement to pay a visit to Wrightsville Beach. The thanks of the Association were voted Mr. William Niestlie, the drug gist, for a number of Yenus Fly Trap plants, a wonderful flower peculiar to this section.; They were nicely potted and were presented to the ladies of the convention as aouvenirs of their visit to the city. Mr. Niestlie also pre sented specimens of the trumpet plant and pitcher plant.
