Additional Visitors from Abroad Present at Yesterday’s Session—The Banquet and Speeches of the Evening The ceremonies of the Scottish Rite Masons continued yesterday by the conferring of the 15° and 10°, Saraiah Council Princes of Jerusalem, during tlie afternoon, with Dr. C. E. Wright, 33 ', asM. E. M., and H. H. McGaffey, 32°, as master of ceremonies. These beautiful and ininstructive historical dramas were never before presented in this city with the excellence they attained yesterday. The elaborate scenery was never managed with so.mu' h effectiveness, and there was an attention to detail that has never before been observed, and which resulted in a complete and harmonious presentation. In the even ingthe work was in Indianapolis Chapter of Rose Croix, 17° and 18°, with Judge Byron K. Elliott, M \ W. \ and P. '. master, and Jacob W. Smith. 33°, as grand master of ceremonies. The large stage and new scenery gave opportunity for some grand effects, and the music, both vocal and instrumental, was excellent. The following pieees were rendered during the conferring of the Council degrees: “By the River of Babylon” Choir “Go Thou Unto the King” Choir “Truth” Choir “Do 1 Wake, or Am I Dreaming?” Choir ‘ ‘Welcome” Choir In the evening, during the conferring of the 17th and 18th degrees, the programme was: Chorus—Processional. Chant—“ Woe Unto Mankind” Choir Chorus—Recessional. Solo and Chorus—“l Alone the Cross Must Bear,” Cassady and Muneic Quartet. Solo— 1 ‘Faith” Belcher Solo —“Hope” Belcher Chorus—“ Charity” Choir Chorus—“ ‘Gloria’’ Choir Chorus—" Hosannah” Choir Hymn—“ Rose Croix” Choir Solo and Chorus—“ Child of a King,” Blake, Trisagion, Belcher and Choir. “Coronation ’ By the Lodge The annual banquet was held at 5:30 p. m., in the banquet room of the rite, and took place immediately after the close of work in the sixteenth degree. Dr. Clmrles E. Wright presided, and introduced each toast with fitting and appropriate remarks. John H. Holliday, of the News, was the first speaker, and delivered the welcome address. He spoke of the proverbial hospitality of the various bodies of the A. *nd A. rite in Indianapolis, and assured all members of the order a cordial welcome whenever they visited Indiana consistory. L. D. Richardson, of Chicago, responded briefly to the toast, “Our Visiting Brethren.” “The Candidates” was responded to by Judge Niblaek, of Vincennes. He made a very witty speech, fully appreciated by both candidates and members, and was frequently interrupted by applause. Colonel N. R. Ruc kle answered the toast, “The A. and A. Kilo,” giving a short history of the order in this State. He gave Dr. James M. Tom linson the credit of being the first to move in the matter of introduciug the rite in this city. “The York Rite” was responded to by Bruce Carr. “The Southern Jurisdiction,” by John R. Parson and W. H. Mayo, of St. Louis. Both speakers commended the manner in winch the degrees were conferred here, and hoped the day wus not far distant when there would be but one jurisdiction, and not divided as it now is, in name only. Other addresses were delivered by E. A. Armstrong. of Detroit; J. C. Suit, of Frankfort; Judge Byron K. Elliott, of this city, and Judge Viehe, of Vincennes, one of the candidates.

Thirty four members of the consistory took the oriental degree ye sterday in one of the parlors at the Denison. The visitors from other consistories are all lavisli in their praise of the work of the Indiana consistory, and say they never before saw the degrees conferred so impressively as they are here, Cincinnati not excepted. The work of caring for and entertaining visit ors was attended to by T. S. McKinley, of Crawfordsville; R. A. Wilson, of Mnncie, J. A. Manning, of Michigan City; >V. P. Kellar, of Mattoon, 111., C. F. Holliday and G. W. Davie, of this city, who labored hard to see that none went away dissatisfied. The Masonic Sign. Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph. As is well known, all Free Masons have a small Maltese cross indelibly stamped into the skin jnst behind the right ear. Formerly the cross (which is the insignia of the sixth degree) was branded in. For this purpose a small silver or platinum branding iron was used. But some ten years ago Sqnozaek Lodge, No. 5, of Portland, introduced the practice of burning in the mark with aquafortis or nitro-Sulpliuric acid. This is now the prevalent practice except in those remote lodges where a dispensation

TIIB INDIANMPOLTS JOURNAL, THURSDAY, MARCII 20, 1881.

from the Grand Central has not yet reached. The acid leaves a well-defined black mark directly behind the right ear, which is easily observable on turning forward the superfluous auircular flange. Branding by the brand iron made a sore that frequently lasted four or five weeks, whereas the aquafortis only produces a slight swelling. A’ gentleman of Allegheny who recently took the sixth degree, went home rather late, and very sleepy, the other evening. His good wife, observing the wound behind bis ear, and not yet apprised of its significance, thought it a ring-worm, and immediately placed a vigorous mustard plaster over the snot. The cross has entirely disappeared, and an enormous borealis has taken its place, and the lodge is at some trouble to know what degree to give the gentleman. Pardoned by the Governor. Governor Porter yesterday pardoned Daniel B. Herd, convicted in the Jefferson Circuit Court of manslaughter aud sentenced to twentyone years' imprisonment. He has served seven years of his term, and the judge before whom be was tried is now convinced, by investigations which he has made, that the prisoner has suffered an unjust penalty. Herd was attacked by several men employed in a stone quarry near North Vernon, and, in defending himself, stabbed a man named Jacob Simon with his pocket knife. Simon died from the injuries, and Hord was convicted of manslaughter on false evidence. There are several hundred signatures to the petition for his pardon, and it is recommended by the judge who sentenced him. Governor Porter is convinced that Hord killed Simon in self defense, aud feels that he has suffered unjustly. Accused of Slaughtering “Crips.” Peter Sindlinger, a butcher, was before Judge Norton, yesterday, on the charge of slaughtering crippled hogs. Witnesses testified that Sindlinger had recently purchased a number of crippled hogs, but there was no evidence to prove that he had slaughtered or sold them. Mr. Sindlinger writes a card to the Journal, stilting that “it has not been proven, and can not be before any court of justice, that he ever sold diseased meat or slaughtered cnpplcd hogs.” Mr. Bloom Wants Damages. Fred Bloom, who whs arrested about ten days ago, and locked up in the station-house, on suspicion of knowing something about the Pacific Express robbery, lias brought suit against Superintendent Lang and Captain Colbert, demanding SIO,OOO, for false imprisonment. Bloom is the mysterious stranger who has been stopping at the Bates House for several weeks. He was arrested at the request of the chief of the St. Louis police. Mr. Christie Sent l T p. In the Criminal Court, yesterday, Clements Christie, who kept a “fence” for stolen harness on West Washington street, was sent to the penitentiary for three years by. Judge Norton, who intimated that if there had been a jury trial the defendant might have suffered much worse. Christie's arrest and conviction was mainly due to the efforts of Police Officer Ben Thornton, who worked up the case skillfully.

The I’faff Index Claim. The county commissioners yesterday had under consideration the claim of ex Auditor Fluff for $2,000 for making a general index of tax sales in accordance with a contract with a previous board, and allowed him S9OO. It is not likely that Mr. Pfaff will accept this amount in full payment, and lie will probably bring suit, as he says the work cost much more than the allowance made him. Bau Ah Brail's Last Lecture. Sau Ah Brah delivered his lecture on “Burmese Life,” at Central-avenue M. E Church, last night, to a large, audience. Ho was dressed in the native costume of his country, and the lecture was as interesting as it was novel. 11l the matter of information one can learn more of the country of King Thebau in one hour from Sau Ah Brah than in a week’s sojourn witli books on the subject. Marriage Licenses. Marriage licenses were issued yesterday to William J. Lynch and Lcnna M. Corey, Marshall S. Glidewell and Laura A. Hackcnsmuth, George Washington Davis and Mary E. Johnson, Aldus E. Herrin and Martha J. McCoy, George W. Bowman and Maggio White, Theodore S. Holmes and Ada Grace Rhoades. Buy the popular $1 shirt, at Parker's. Explanation.
