The Jaet secret order that has been 'sirgticized in Concord ia the Woodmen of the World, wbicb as a lodga, id only a branch of tbe large order of Modern Woodmen of America. The originator of this order, Me. Joseph Cul'en Riot, who was onc9 a member of Modern Wood men of America, seeing a chance lo bring something new before the peopln in the way of insuring their life, withdrew from tiie Woodmen uf America, nnd at Omaha, Nebras ka, organized the Woodtuou if tbe World. This ordur was orgmizj.d in Con cord in August 1897, now being only about seven months old. It was organized with ten members and now it numbers thirteen. This is both a fraternal and an insurance order. Their secret work ings is said to be very fine and in teresting. It consists of three de greesMorning, Noon and Night. This order has no sick benefit fund, but similarly, when one of their brother members becomes die abled and cannot carry his pedicy, it is carried for him by the meru h, m. In case of death, the aura ol ine hu'idn d dollars is taken from ihe lodge to erect a monument at his grave. This amount actually comes from tbe lodge and is not taken from the amount that ia due the widow or any designated per son. Another thing we notice about them, is that tbey always is sue a paid-up policy. One of the finest burial ceremo nies used by any order, is aid to be practiced by this order. This order here has never been called upon to witness the death of one of iiej brother members. Every member of the lodge is securely in jured there days, though none of them have yet taken a single de cree in its work. Not until lately has any one here been able to take them through the work, but Mr. W G BoMbamer.of this city, has been ap pointed Deputy Head Consul tor this State, and will begin soon to take them through tbe different de grees. The order meets only once per month. Their place of meeting is in the Royal Arcanum Hall. Tbe present officers are as follows: Consul Commander, Dr. J E Smoot; Advisor Lieutenant, A L Sappen field; Banker, John D Hatchett; Clerk, W G Boehamer; Escort, R E Ridenhour; Watchman, Ed. W Freeze; Sentry, W A Sellf; Mana gers, Messrs, C T Troy, R L Duval and R A Brower. This closes the write-up of the different fraternal organizations in our city. We think tbat tbe people will fiod that Concord is well repre sented in tbe different kinds of or derp, and not only that, we haye heard many compliments by mem bers from other towns as to the thorough knowledge that our mem bers have of their organization.

Tbe manifestations of prief widen, digs are at half mast and tbe great disaster fills the papers and. the minds of the people. A court of Inquiry hug in en instituted. Theories are 1 float, some of wbicb would be plausible enough without contradictor? evidence. Certain coala have tco slig'it ten- d.'ncy to spontaneous combustion, but this vessel had on chiefly thi Key West coal, which is said to ba absolutely free from such danger. Priva e Ut'ers received by the wives of certain members of Ihe crew indicate their fear of just what happened. Tie spirit of reyenge and desperation by certain Span lards who are about as reckless in their demands for fpiin to lesent the presence of the Maine at Uayan na and as frenzied at the sentiment of American interfrrenoe as many rf our own overzealous Know-it-all kind are for our nation to in erf err, found vent in a cncular so incen- d ary in its naturo as to warrant the gravest suspicions if it skould be proven that the explosion was from without. Th? New York World's corres- pond. tt, Sylvester Scovel, rives some forceful news, if not exaggerated, tending to show a rpirit on the part of Coojcatito tbat would make such a deed look cot overly surprising. Yet it ia all theory, and the first bit id of worthy surmise is yet lack ing, iz: Did thi! explosion occur in. aide or outside ? The dead thus far obtained were buried at 3 o'clock Thursday at Ha vana with public funeral in wbicb the local tflicials und ritiz ni par ticipated. We append tbe following story as one tbat we think will be read with keen interest. Key Weat, Fia., Feb. 17 Lieu tenant John Blaudin, of Baltimore, one of tbe Maine's survivors, wbo i at tbe Key West Hotel, gave the correspondent of the Associated Press, this evening, a succinct ac count of the disaster, saying that not until now has be been able to recollect the sequence of events in tbe awful 10 minutes following the explosion Tuesday evening. Lieut, Blandin was on tbe Trenton at tbe time of the terrible disaster off S.iiuoa, in March, 1889, when American and German vessels lost 241 men all together. He says : "I was on watch, and when the men had been piped below, I looked down the main batches and over the side of the ship. Everything was absolutely normal. I walked aft to the quarter deck behind tbe rear turret, as is allowed after 8 o'clock in the evening, and sat down on the port side, where I remained for a few minutes. 'Lhm for some reason I cannot eip'ain to myself row I moved to the starboard side and sat down there. I was feeling a bit glum, and, in fact, was to quiet that Lieut. J Hood came up and asked laughingly if I was asleep. I said : 'No, 1 am on watch.' "Scarcely had I speken when there came a dull, sullen roar. Would to God tbat I cmld blot ou'. the sound and ihe scenes that followed. Then came a sharp explosion, some say numerous detonation'. I remember only one. It seemed to me that the 4' nnd came from the port side for ward. Then ca ne a perfect ruiu of missiles of all de-criptions, from nrga pieces of cement to blocks cf wood, sted ratlings, fragments ot gratings and all the debris that would be detachable in an explosioc. "I was struck on the head by a piece of cement and kuocked down, but 1 was not hurt, and got to my feet in a moment, liieut. Hood had rju to tbe roip and I followed. He nas dezed by the shock and about to jump overbo.irJ. I bailed him and he answered tbat be bad run to the poop to help lower tbe boats. When got there, though scarce a minute tould have elapsed, had to Wiidu in water t) my knees, aud almost in stantly the qaarter deck was awaeb. Ou the poop I found Captain Sigs bee, as cool as if at a ball, and soon all the officers eic-pt Jenkins and Merritt joined us. Tbe poop was above water after the Maine settled to the bottom. Captain Sigsbee or dered tbe launch and gig lowered, and the officers and ni.-n, who by this time had assembled, trot the tjiia's ous and remue I a number 111 tiiH wa'et. Ctiptu ' Liigabee ordered IiituI'Miao'; ( 'onimuuder Wainwright forwari 10 im tbe extent of the 'Jamai!'-, nid i .-n1 thing could be done i" M'tci tin'-) forward or to fx-iugi ;s.i i-i.i llin.es, which follow ed close upon tbe explosion and buined fiercely as long as there wert any combustiblts above tbe water to feed tbem. Lieut. C-mmandei Wainwright, on bis return, reported tbe awful character of the calimity, and Captain Sigsl es gave the laai sad order, 'Abandon ship,' to met. overwhelmed with grief, indeed, bin calm and apparently unexcited. Meantime four boats from the Span ish cruiser Alfonso XIII, arrived, tc be followed soon by two from the Ward Line steamer, City of Wash ington. Boats from the City of Washington were found to be rid dled with flying debris from the Maine and unfit for uje. Captain Sigsbee was the last man to leave her, and 1. ft in bis own gig. "I have no theories as to tbe cause of the explosion. I cauno. form any. An exami ration b) divers may tell something to a court of inquiry. I, with others, bad beard that tbe Uuyanua harbor was full of tarpedo?s, but the officers whose doty it was to examine into that re ported that they found no signs of any. Personally, I do not believe tbe Spanish had anything to do with the disaster. Time m iy tell. I hope oo We were in a delioate po sitloo ou the Maine so far as taking any precautions were concerned. We were friends in a friendly, or alleged friendly, port, aud could oot fire upon or challenge the approach of any boat boarding ns unless con vinced that her intentions were hos tile. I wieh to heavens I could for !,eii'. I have been in two wrecks now and bave had my share. But the reverberatiors of that sullen, yet resonant roar, as if the bottom of tbe sea were groaning with torture, will baunt me for many a day, and tbe reflection of that pillar of flame c lines to me when I close my eyes." MORMON CONVERTS. Two Men of l'bauuel iliiircti "ielgu borbood Accept the Faith. A report reaches the. Sun tbat Rowan now has several Mormon converts. Two men, in the neigh borhood of Pbanuel cburcb, near the Rowan and Cabarrus line, just across tbe line in Rowan, and who were members of Phanuel, a Bap tist congregation, the report says have united with tbe Mormon faith. Several Mormon elders had been at work in the neighborhood for some time with the results as reported. Tbe congregation at Phanuel has had quite a variation in religious worship the last few years. Some eight or ten years ago tbe church was of tbe Lutheran faith, and worshipped according to the Luth eran discipline. Later th) Meth odists went in and held services for a while, but did little. Still later, tbe Baptists made their appearance and a large majority of the con gregation became converted to tbat faith. The Baptist minister from Concord held services there for some time and great interest was manifested. More recently his Bervice has been allowed to lag until now it seems the Mormons have a good field. Whether they will succeed is not ascertained. The history of the church in the last ten years is, to say tbe least, interesting. Salisbury Sun. The writer oft attended this church, which was built more than balf a century ago, and sees with the eye of memory the Shivea, the Goodmans, the Bostians, the Pleas es, the Yosts, the Finks, the Wal ters aud others who clung steadily to tbe faith of the fathers, and the congregation seemed as unshaken as that noble granite wall they placed around tbe hallowed dead. Bat many of the pillars are removed in death and the young are scat tered to different fields, the regular ministration of the church ceased, probably from lack of means of support. The former anchor was broken, and r ow there seems a drift, dritt, drift. Alas for Puanuels, if the starlers glide is to ingulf the onc s'roog shin in the maeltrom of Mormonism Do you ever tbiiik of the "good aid days," when cne tidlow dip, was sufficient to give light enough for a whole family f ... Now it requires several lamps and perhaps a few gas lights thrown in. It is no wonder many of our ancestors could ''save a penny for a rainy day." Fulton Republican. HORRORS NO .LESS, LIGHT NO GREATER. One Hundred and 1 hlrly-Fl ve Itoille Kecovered tien. Lee's DlNpalcb. Like ?n many other instances the public cannot be gratified with any satisfactory answer as to the cause' of the great Maine explosion. The - theory of foul play is not gaining any speoial toroo. One hundred and thirty five bodies have been recoycred and they continuo to rise to the surface, when they are tenderly coffined and deposited iu the cemetery with religious ceremony. The greatest care is being taken to get only responsible reports free from biassed sensationalism. Therefore a strict guard is kept so that reporters cannot fill the newspapers with manufactured news under the semblance of truth to further feed the passion ate strife stirring desire. When an official report is made and a report from responsible sources is given it is fair to presume that we will be as near the facts of the case as it is possible to get. A cablegram from Consul Gen eral Lee contains the following : Havanna, Feb. 18. "Assistant Secretary ot the State, Washing ton : "There was great popular demonstration at the funeral yes terday. Military, naval, firemen and civil organizations were gen erally represented. Tho bishop of Havanna, General Parrado, next in commaud to the governor general, the Autonoinistic cabinet, civil governor, mayor and other prominent persons, walked in the procession over part of the route in accordance with custom to testify sympathy. Forty bodies were buried. Many have come to the surface of the water since, but they are now difficult to recognize. They will be buried with religious services, as collected. (Signed.) Lke." LYCEUM MEETS And IloldN Im Iiniienchment Trim Acquitted oroue uhnrite anil Found (utility ol Another. The Lyceum met Friday night in the Graded School building, the house being called to order by the regular president, L D Duval. The usual preliminary business was transacted, after which the articles of impeachment against Dr. D D Johnson for innocuaus desuetude were presented and accepted. Tbe trial was tben entered into, with two attorneys on each side. Time for bade very long speeches from the counsel. After pleading in most sympathetic tones for Dr. Johnson's acquittal, his counsel cleared him of tbe charge, but no sooner tban he was found not guilty of the charge, another one was entered against him. For certain good reasons he has been found guilty of destroying tbe Maine. He will not even stand trial for this charge, the case being so plain. The program for next meeting is tbe debate of tbe question, Unsolved, That the Mormons should be ex cluded from North Carolina. A motion was made that the next meeting be made a public one. The place for the holding of tbe meeting will be stated later. A Baby Dyluir on the Train. Conductor Roseboro, on No. 35, had a queer experience Thursday morning near Greenville-, S. C. He heard a peculiar sound under one of the seats and drew out a basket containing a 3-days old baby. It had been deserted and was evidently drugged. It died before the train reached Atlanta iu spite of the care of a physician.
