May Lose Their Money.

The 80-called Masonic Mutual Benefit Seoiety, of Indiana, bus boon about on its last legs fop some time, and reports that it has made an assignment, have been circulated within the last few; days. These reports seem to lack confirmation, but it is pretty evident that the concern must soon go under if it has not already. Two Rensselaer ladies Mrs.-J. W. Duvall and Mrs. J. H. Loughridge have unpaid claims against the society of about $1,250 and $750, respectively, on policies held, by their husbands. A large part of these claims they will evidently lose, if not all of them.
