It is not in the power of mr pen

No Nmailpox for Hi Yet.
Oae can hear all kinds of reports
on the streets about tome one being
in town that bas been exposed to
smallpox, but nothing has resulted
from the reports. A negro was in
town Thursday night bailing from
Charlotte, and he was informed by
Policeman Boat that his presence
was not wanted in this place, but
inttead of ths negro leaving he
came np town. Policeman Bjtt
followed and succeeded in getting
him vaccinated, but fearing that
this was not sufficient he was sent
out of town.
This morning two small boys got
off of tbe north-bound train, not
looking to be over twelve years old,
aud were beating the train. Police
man Boat succeeded in capturing
one of them and released him when
be consented to leave town, Tbey
came on tip town, 'and after finding
hat Chief Boger had his eyes upon
them they went op Chureh atree'
towards O Jell's factory. The
Standard at once telephoned foi
them to look ont for them op there,
and they were sent on np tbe road.
We are glad that our officers are
keeping a close eye on this floating

colored people will not harbor any

CONCORD, N. C, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY
THE V. M. C.'S
or Ceaeerd When and Where Or
ganised Oilier ThlDKi.
Very many Carolinians will know
what tbe letters, "V. M. C." sandn
for, though if the writer knows he
is not allowed to tell, as this is one
of the things that a member of the
Royal Arcanum most ponder in ms
heart.
Tbe Royal Arcanum was fourth
in organization in our city and wae
organized juet about one year before
tbe Old Fellows revised tnir loag.
Tbe Cabarrus Connoil, No. 1205,
Royal Arcanum was organized on
the night of tbe 26. h of November,
1889, with the following charter
members :
Mensrs. Luther Boat, Frank Good-
nn, Rpbt.. Gibson, M M Gillon,
John A Kimmons, Cbas G Mont
gomery, Frank L Smith, J W Peeler,
John A 8ime, JohnC W adawortb,
Jeaoe Willeford, Rev. C M Payne,
and DrB. J S Lafierty and R S
Young.
We notice among the names of
charter members Mr. Jesse F Wille
ford, wbo wao also a prominent
Odd Fellow. Unfortunately, how
ever, be withdrew from tbe Royal
Arcanum about four months before
hie deatb, thereby receiving no
death benefits. Mr. Willeford was
also elected Secretary at their first
meeting, we find.
Tbe order has increased in mem
bership gradually each year until it
now numbers forty-two. Out of
this whole number, tbey have never
had a death in tbe fraternity.
This order baoits own ball, which
is upstairs over Dr. Johnson's drug
store, and is nicely furnished.
This order is a fraternal benefici
ary organization. They have both
half rate and full rate certificates,
which entitles tbe holder to 11,500
and (3,000 respectively, tbe amount
to be paid to bis widow or any
designated one at the death of the
member.
This lodge also has a compulsory
sick- benefit, which requires that
the order, in case of tbe sickness of
the brother member, to carry bis
insurance policy until he is again
able to take it up. During all this
member's sickness, and including
th amount tbey have paid out to
keep up his policy, still none of this
amount is deducted from the
amount that is paid the widow at
bis deatb.
The above are ths regular rules
of the order, though existing cir
cumstances sometimes call for tbe
helping still more of the widow and
orphans, and to this they also re
spond.
This order alao bas a most beau
tiful burial ceremony, but, as be
fore slated, they have never yet
pBPn called on to ad minster one.
Durinit the year 1897, the lodge
added le its list new members, and
from their organization to the pres
ent time, they have only lost alto
gether by suspension, withdrawal
and removal, six members.
The times of meeting of this or
ganization is on tie first and third
1 ues.iay nights of each month, in
their ball.
Their present officers, who are
elected aonuallv, are as follows: W
(i Boshamer. Regent; W L Bell,
Vice-Regent; J F Goodson. Seoretas
rv; R E Gibson, Treasurer; John A
Kimmons, Collector; tie. W f Mo
Ghee, Chaplain; J L Hartsell, Ora
tor; Geo. E Fisher, Guide; M L
Blackwelder, Sentry; and C A Dry,
Warden.
Thus closes tbs different points
of interest of the V. M. C.'s of our
city, which were given us by tbe
Orator of tbe Royal Arcanum, Mr.
J L Hartsell.

ing the dead, the proper courtesies,
but tbey do not care to go tbro jgb
tbe same experience that was forced
on them this morning.
There were five in the funeral
party that escorted the remains of
Jackson to tbo cemeler yesterday,
Amonz the numbpr was El De
Brugb, Dr. McComb's driver, Ed
insisted ibat be was not afraid of
smallpjx germs, eo he was selected
to drive the wagon to the funeral
ground?. The other four men fol
lowed at a respectful dis.ance.
Wben the cemetery was reached,
five mea lowered tbe body in tbe
10-foot grave that had been pre
pared and came back to the city.
This morning it was suggested
toat soma kind of disinfectant
should be used by these men.
Finally it was decided that tbey
go to tbe creek below tbe city; take
a winter bath and there burn all of
the clothing tbat they wore to tbe
funeral. Officer Hall escorted four
of tbe men to the creek west of the
city and another officer went witb
Ed De Brugh to the creek below tbe
orphanage.
After it was all over De Brugh
stated that he would not effioiate at
aDy more funerals, especially when
the occasion demands such rigid en
forcement of iht law of disinfecting.
Charlotte News.
The New Oynainoa.
For the first ukc tlie tew engiue
that has lesn put in at the pDwer
bouse around on Spring street,
utar ed on its j)b. Ic was the wri
ter's pleasure to witness it Friday
n'ght. They now have a new Wes
ton engine, and also have the other
one too, so that in ca e an accident
happens ith tbe one, they cam at
oace shift the burden upon tie
other.
The putting in of tbe new ma
obinery was under the management
of Mr. E T Nye, an electrician from
Philadelphia, Mr. Nye informs us
that these new dynumoj are capable
of giving a higher voltage than the
former ones, and can make our
street lights unusually bright. In
order to Ust the machinery Thurs
day li ght be gave the street lights
an unusual amount of voKage, and
found next morning Uaf. quite
number of tbe lamps were burnt out
on account of it.
As for arc lights, this nic'uintry
could give them to us, but both en
gines would have to run at tbe same
time, having none to fill bick rn,
as they will h&ve in the future. I
will be a constant pull for tbe ma.
ohipory, and will be taxed very hea
vily all the time, in the bama way m
this one engine has been in tbe past.
This was oue reason why there ban
been so much trouble about the
lights. This engine bad just had
more to do than it ought to have
done.
