COLONEL CREATON , PAST GRAND TREASURER . IT was amidst the festivities of an unprecedentedly happy gathering of the City of Westminster Lodge , on Thursday night , at the Cafe Royal , Regent Street , that we first heard the sad news of the decease of Lieut .-Colonel Creaton , for some years Grand Treasurer of the Grand Lodge of
England . The intimation , as it fell from the lips of the Rev . R . J . Simpson , Past Grand Chaplain of England , caused a thrill amongst the brethren assembled , and as our reverend brother observed , it " struck a minor key " in tbe hearts of all that goodly company , none of whom appeared
to have known that our illustrious late Grand Treasurer had been ill . As Brother Simpson proceeded to relate the " melancholy fact , in which we are all deeply interested , " there was a temporary gloom over the assembly
which had up to this time been so animated , "for , " said he , " our Brother Colonel Creaton departed this life at one o ' clock to-day . " As Past Grand Treasurer of England , and so intimately connected with our Charities for many years —a most true and noble Brother—he was known and
beloved by all , and his death will be heard of with the deepest regret by all the brethren , not only here , bub throughout the kingdom . " The mournful intelligence reached us too late to say more upon the
subject in this number of the FREEMASON ' CHRONICLE , and probably it were well to leave any further comment it may be necessary to make until tho first flush of sorrow and regret caused by the unexpected event shall have passed away in tho minds of the brethren .
