the substitution of the minority report
to give the German lodges five years’
grace in which to adopt the English rit
ual, resulting 74 to 41 against the minor
ity report. Then the majority report
was adopted by a vote of 79 to 86. The
gist of the majority report is found in
the following recommendation:
“That the Supreme Lodge rean
nounces and affirms the declaration
made at the Kansas City session, and
that henceforth and forevermore the rit

speaking nations be printed in the Eng

in the language of such government, to
the end that it may be known to all men

The report remmends the Supreme
Chancellor for his action in upholding
the law in thi^natter, and was signed by
four memberspf the committee—Stanton
L. Charter, Thomas D. Mears, L. P.
Hunt and Aaron Myers. John P. Pusse
of Indiana was the author of the minor
ity report, which recommended that the
lodges whichhave remained loyal to the
Supreme Lodge, and who were working
with rituals in other languages when the
last ritual waspromulgated, be furnished
with rituals in the language they were
previously using for a period of five years,
after which they shall surrender them
and use only the English. Three hours’
debate was had. The principal speech
of the minority was made by Representa
tive Featherstone of Wisconsin, and for
the majority by Representative Carter
of Colorado. It was argued against the
minority propositition that if five years
were granted the German lodges they
would apply for another extension of
time at the end of that period, and the
whole question would have to be fought
over. Sitting in committee of the whole
the lodge has approved the unanimous
report of the committee on the statement
of the order recommending that saloon
keepers, bartenders and professional
gamblers be ineligible to membership,
but not affecting those who have already
become members. The question has not
been acted upon by the Supreme Lodge
proper. The same committee recom
mends that the Supreme Lodge protest
against the use of the name Pythianism

L ofty , Penn., Septembers.—The little
mining town of Scotch Valley, near here,
was swallowed up to-night in one of the
most complete mine cave-ins ever known
in this region. The scene of the disaster
is on the slope of Mount Lookout, and a
score of houses comprise the hamlet at
the mouth of the shaft from Mount Look
out colliery. The wildest excitement
prevails through the region, and details
are fragmentary. It is known, however,
that the dozen houses on each side of
the principal street of the hamlet are
completely swallowed up in the gaping
hole, and nothing can be seen of the
other buildings but the roofs, gables and
chimneys. It is impossible to state ac
curately the number of fatalities, or if
there are any. Parties are -exerting
every means to release the occupants of
the engulfed dwellings. One of the buried
houses has taken fire. The cave-in was
caused by the giving way of timbers and
supports in the workings of the Mount
Lookout colliery, which has not been in
operation for two years and had been
neglected in consequence.
At 4:30 the inhabitants were startled
by rumbling reports like falling rock in
the caverns of the abandoned mine many
hundreds of feet below them. The
ground trembled and swayed like an
earthquake beneath them. Report was
followed by report, and, accompanied by
other tremors, the village sank out of
sight in the gaping cavern. In the
meanwhile about fifty miners were im
prisoned in the colliery. They had been
at work in another portion of the mine,
and all means of exit from the mine was
wiped out by the cave-in. James Perrin,
one of the oldest miners, gathered the
men together and started to lead them
up through a tunnel, which had been
used for an air shaft. The rescuing party
on the surface had made an attempt to
push a passage through the mass of
debris which blocked the main entrance.
Failing in this, some of the more daring
entered the passage and came to where
the imprisoned miners were struggling
upward. The men were carried to the
surface, where a large crowd of excited
people were awaiting them. Up to 9
o’clock to-night all persons who could
be found had been taken from the ruins,
although a full roll of those to be ac
counted for cannot be prepared until
morning.
