History Of Freemasonry.

HISTORY OF FREEMASONRY .

( Continued from page 281 . ) AMONG the instances cited of tbe Goncmirs , is that which occurred in Marseilles in 1808 , between the locksmiths ( Sons of Jacques ) and the locksmiths ( Sons of Solomon ) . The former entrusted their a-use to aDauphine ,

the latter to a Lyonnais ) who wore locked up in their several rooms under the guardianship of their rivals , having nothing else passed into them but their food and tbe necessary implements . After tbe lapse of several

months , the competitors were released , when the DaiipMne's lock was found to be beautiful , and the key still more so , while the Lyonnais was found to have devoted his time to the manufacture of the several implements for fashioning

a most complicated lock , but the lock itself had not even been commenced . The latter was accused of treachery , left tbe town , and was never heard of afterwards . Of the other method of settling the Goncmtrs , namely , by a fight ,

we are told the most memorable instance is the battle fought on the plains of La Crau , between Aries and Salon , in Provence , between the Sons of Solomon on the one part , and the Sons of Jacques and Soubise on the other , the

original parties to the quarrel being the stonemasons , joiners , and locksmiths only . Even firearms were used ; the number of killed was very large , ancl the military had

tbe greatest difficulty in restoring order . As to other matters , we are told that the Sons of Solomon _ admit workmen of every religious creed to the Compa ? nionage ,
