Morton Lodge ia well known throughout the Jurisdiction of the grand lodge of this state, and has always been regarded by the craft as ono of the most conservative and consistent masonic bodies of the order.

Its history is full of "what masonry teaches and its survival of all that has occurred to discourage the practice of its professions has stamped it in the eyes of the community as an institution worthy of esteem. The centennial celebration will be attended with ceremonies that will be purely masonio and from the interest manifested by craft of Long Island it will be a memorable event, bringing together as it will, perhaps, the largest representaion of masonry that Long Island has yet witnessed.

At the first commuication held in the present century, on January 1800, "the worshipful master made a motion that this lodge dress in mourning for the space of six months, commemorative of the death of our illustrious and worthy brother.

the north side of the island, perhaps twenty miles from Hempstead. They reached tho lodge by what is called the "ride and tie" method. That is, they both started together early in the morning, one riding the single horse on the farm, and the other walking. The rider proceeded to a place agreed upon, where he tied the horse and took up his journey afoot. When the first walker reached tho horse ho mounted and after passing his walking journey, tied the horse again another place agreement.

So the Jour ney was made to tho lodge, and the return tho following morning was a repetition of the scheme. The second story Is told of a man named Piatt Stratton, living near what is now College Point. Stratton was a candidate for Masonry and rode Into Hempstead on Horseback at about noon. Having looked after hore in tho barn he went into tho hotel through the kitchen, which was as fashionable a way as the front door at tho time. In tho kitchen ho found an old colored oook standing over a great fire in the large chimney place across which was a gridiron of very ample proportions.

"What's the gridiron for, aunty?" asked Stratton, to which the old cook replied: "Ise don' know, marsa, zackly, 'cept that the Masons meet, ter day an dey genly uses it when dey meets." This was enough for Stratton. He returned to the barn, mounted horse and rode off. Nothing was ever hoard of him again by the lodge and he doubtless died In the faith that the gridiron. waB intended for him. Sketch of Master Robert A.

MRS. KERBER'S WILL Set Aside by Surrogate Weller Some Rather Severe Criticism of Mr.

Wendelstein's Course. Jamaica, L. June 19 Surrogate A. N. Weller of the Queens County Surrogate's Court handed down an opinion this morning setting aside the will of Mrs.

Henrietta Ker ber of Evergreens, who died on January 9, 1894, leaving one third of her property to Carl Wendelstein and one third to each of her two daughters, Jennie Hohenstein and Mlna Lawrence. Wendelstein was made sole executor of the will, with power to dispose of the real estate as he saw fit. According to the evidence given before the surrogate on the trial, Wendelstein had lived with deceased several years before her death, although he had a wife living at Boston, Mass. According to the testimony, he tried to induce his wife to come to Mew York and gain a legal residence here In order that she might get a divorce from him. The surrogate states in his opinion: "The sole question is whether the deceased made tlie will offered for probate under undue influence exerted over her by her paramour, Carl Wendelstein." He states that "if It had not been for his baleful Influence it would not have been made" It Is declared that he lived on her bounty and that he ohtained an $800 mortgage on the house at Evergreens for what he, Wendelstein, claims, was a loan of The surrogate states that it is extremely doubtful whether the man ever 'furnished even that sum.

The surrogate continues: "To sustain this will would he rewarding a man for coming into a household and taking away the affections of a mother for her children. The property was left to her by her husband, the father of the contestants, and it a violation of all sense of justice that a paramour should step in and take this property or any part of i't away from the children of the man who earned and accumulated it."

5 i A LATEST LONG ISLAND NEKS, Hearing of the Montauk Indian Case Temporarily Interrupted. JUSTICE SMITH THE CAUSE. Years Ago His Honor Was Counsel in an Indian Partition Suit That May Disqualify Him From Passing Upon the Present Litigation Mohegans Prom Connecticut Interested AttendantsThey Have a Similar Case of Their Own. (Special to the Eagle.) Patchogme, L. June 19 Another hitch In the celebrated case of the Montauk Indians against the Long Island Railroad Company wa encountered to day in the hearing th demurrer to the complaint before Supreme court Justice Wllmot M.

Smith. It appears that there may he some grounds which will debar Judge Smith from rendering a decision In tne matter, Dy reason or ms having been connected with an Indian partition suit some years ago. Pending an inves tigation of the matter it was agreed by coun sel to submit oral argument on the demurrer interposed by the defendant. Lawyers L. B.

Treadwell of New York and F. M. Morrison of Worcester, of counsel for the plaintiff, were present. George M. Curtis and ex Juudge Henry W.

Scott, both of New York, plaintiff's attorneys of record, were unable to be present. W. J. Kelley, attorney for the railroad company, was in attendance at Inwood, at the coroner's inquest over the Valley Stream coaching accident, and Lawyer Alfred A. Gardener appeared in his stead.

Both sides presented their arguments on the demurrer. After hearing the oral argument Judge Smith informed counsel that he would investigate as to his right to give a decision in the case and would report his decision in the New York Law Journal. Should the judge be entitled to determine the case counsel will then submit briefs, and should Judge Smith not bo entitled to aot the demurrer will have to be argued before another judge. The Montauk Indians, through their chiet, Wyandank Pharaoh, brought the suit to recover possession of about six thousand acres of land, which includes the eastern peninsula of Long Island, known as Montauk Point and from which this Indian tribe received its name. About a.

year ago the Long Island Railroad Company extended its line to Montauk, over part of the property claimed by the Indians, and the latter have sued to eject the railroad company from that portion of the land, to which the company now claims title. In its demurrer to the complaint tho railroad company says that the plaintiff has not the legal capacity to sue in that he is not a natural person, nor the tribe or incorporated association permitted by law to maintain an action at law as a tribe. That there is a defect of the parties plaintiff In that the names of the members of the tribe are not known to the defendant and are not made parties to the suit. In conclusion the demurrer states that there are not facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action. Among the Interested parties at the hearing were J.

S. Morgan and W. T. Storey of Groton, members of the executive council of the Mohegan Indians of Connecticut. The Mohegan IndianB are to bring action against parties in Norwich to recover property now built upon by many prominent residents or tnat city, me iviouegan Indians claim that the property In question was tho burying ground of tho royal families of the tribe and contains about sixteen acros.

Morgan and Storey were present in behalf of the Montauk Indians to testify as to Indian customs and points in relation to Indian conveyances of property. Mr. Morgan married one of the daughters of a Mohegan chief. He says they expect to win their case against the Norwich people. Chief Wyandank Pharaoh of tho Montauk Indians was unable to be present.

N. J. Cuffe of Shelter. Island Heights, chairman of tho Montauk Indian council, and E. A.

Johnson of Southampton, a leader among the Montauks, were on hand, and carefully watched the entire case. They declare that they will win their case. The suit in which Judge Smith was counsel for the Montauk Indians was recorded about twenty years ago. At that time Judge Smith was a young lawyer at Smith town. Judge Smith informed tho parties to the present action to that effect, but they preferred to have him act as judge In the case.
