Thomas Connor, of the Lonaconing Aerie, supervised the proceedings under Joseph B. U. of this place, presiding.
Messrs. Wm. G. Carr, of Cumberland, and William M. Ward, of Pittsburgh, Pa., made brief addresses.
Great interest was shown by the promoters and their adherents, and much commendation bestowed upon William Offman and Jefferson Eichhorn for their enterprise and industry in seeking applicants for membership. Offman has wrought unintermittingly several weeks, and to him is largely due the proposal to occupy the entire third story of the Shet building and make it the most sumptuous fraternal home in Western Maryland. For, as Tennyson asked-
Shall not all eagles be eagles
It will the world were eagles what of that
The wider of the eagle were the less
But the eagle not less the eagle.
