At 9:3o yesterday morninc the entire body of delegates formed into line in front of the hall and marched in column order to ttie Church of the Immaculate Conception. There were nearly 600 uniformed men in line, and with several bands playing martial airs, the siuht of the procession moving slowly along the street was an Impressive and interest ing one.

It was, therefore, 9 o'clock before the meeting was called to order and an an nouncement made that Mayor Winston, who was on the programme for the opening speech, had been called to Eau Claire on important busi ness, and would be unable to re spond. Rev. Father McCarron, of the Church of the Immaculate Conception, volunteered to take the mayor's place and entertained the audience with a few remarks apropos of the occasion. The Ancient Order of Hibernians, he said, had in its many years of existence a noble history. The future would be no less beautiful than the past. It had many points in com mon with other organizations, yet by the signs which symbolized it, the order was in his opinion far ahead of all of them. These signs were broth erly friendship. Catholic unity and Christian charity. By them the mem bers of the order would conquer. Miss Therese Speetman rendered a piano se lection at the ((inclusion of Father Mc- Carron's reir.arks, and was accorded generous applause for her elfort. The next name on the programme was James 11. Byrnes, of St. Paul. The name was the only thing visible of Mr. THE SATNT TAUL DAILY GLOBE- WEDNESDAY MORNING, JUNE 15, 1892. Byrnes, so he was "scratched," and Ed ward O'Brien delivered his college ora tion on "The Canseof Ireland's Debase ment." Mr. O'Brien has delivered the oration on several previous occasions, and, though an excellent pne, it is suffi ciently familiar to newspaper readers to render a synopsla unnecessary.' The sum anil substance of the argument is that Ireland's debasement is caused by a wrong system of laud tenure and be cause thestatutory law is in conllict with thj natural !*#• Miss Francis Bailey sang that tender Lrisli sonir, "Kathleen Ma vourneen." in an exquisite manner, after which Hon. John McCarthy, state delegate of the order, delivered a pithy and humorous speech, giving a short history of the order and a resume of the work accom plished. Over Is:,,(MX) people beloimed to the order, he said; over :'.(K) title brig ades and uniformed companies existed; over \\CMS divisions and branch societies could be found iv every state and terri tory in the Union, as well as Manitoba and Canada. In the past two years 113,000 had been paid out to widows as insuruice money, and annually over a half million dollars were paid out in earing for the sick and needy. In fact, Mr. McCarthy said, the Hibernians was the only Irish organization or earth worth anything at all, and could give all the rest cards and spades. At the con clusion of his discourse Mrs. Haggle Nevin-Dought'ity sang "Dorris" and delighted the audience so much that she was compelled to respond to an en core and sang "Wild Bells."' Miss Marie Cokiins also won the audience with her descriptive recitation entitled "Christmas Night at the Qu. lite is." Chris Gallager awakened the enthu siasm of the audience by indulging in an outburst of fervid oratory. He felt annoyed because the audience was so small, and frankly told his auditors that the Irish people of the city ought to be ashamed of the apathy shown. He said he did not care for a St. Patrick's day irishman, who once a year got out and tied a piece of green ribbon in his coat, for colored people did the same thing, and it showed no particular patriot ism on the part of the Irishman. An Irishman that will work was the the kind he admired. »ln referring to the many brigades and rifle companies, be longing f.o the order, Mr. Gallagher re marked tiiat these rifles were not. only for the laudable purpose of furnishing bread for the orphan and widow, but for English toast. The order was working for national Irish supremacy and the men who form the ritie com panies do not drill merely to exercise their muscles. "So." said he enthusiastically, "they are not out on dress parade, but every time they put their hands on their rifles they doit with the hope that they may level it at the eye of the enemy of their country." Mr. Gallagher also spoke on the pres ent condition of atfairs in Ireland, and incidentally referred to politics in this country. Altogether, his discourse was very interesting. Among the other speakers of the evening were Key. Father Christie, of the Church of ths Ascension, and John Kennedy. The 91 innesota Loan and Trust Co.

They'll Go to Chicago — Union I^eaguers Preparing- a "Wake.*' Minneapolis will be well represented at the Democratic national convention in Chicago next week. A meeting of Minneapolis Democrats was held in the office of James W. Lawrence last even in;: to make arrangements for going to the convention. The meeting was com posed of members of the Jefferson club, some of the gentlemen present t>eing also members of the Cleveland club. Both organizations will have a large number of members on hand in Chicago. Over fifty were in attendance last even ing, and at least 200 Democrats have signified their intention of gointr. The business of the meeting last evening was the appointment of the necessary com mittees on arrangements. The main point at issue is the one of badges. Many of the Jefferson club are in favor of going to Chicago merely as a Democratic club, pledged to the cause of no particular candidate. Cleveland clubmen, qu the other hand, want to wear Cleveland badges, Last nitht a committee repre senting the membership of both organ izations was appointed to canvass this matter of badges and re port to both clubs tonight. The committee will report to the regular meeting of the Cleveland club, at the room.-; oi this organization, 4^l Nicollet avenue, and to an adjourned meeting of the Jefferson club in the office of James W. Lawrence, on the second tioor of the Boston block. Every member of both clubs should attend. A committee was also appointed to make the necessary arrangements with regard to railroad transportation. A change lias come over the spirit of the Union league. No longer is it the lion rampant of the local Republican menagerie. It is the toothless old ex inonafch of the forest, who blinks at tlie gaping crowd and snores away his life dreaming of the days when his lusty roar startled the echoes of the woodland and rent the silent air of tiie desert. His claws are folded on his gently heaving breast but he simulates the appearance of the emepror of the animal domain because he is fed for that purpose. The conven tiondid it all. The Union Lea true met Hood*; evening to make arrangements for a iiititication meeting to indorse the action of- the late lamented (and occa sionally cursed) Republican national convention. Last night the league met again, or a part of it did, to hear reports and make still further arrangments. The Union league has decided to have a ratification meetins. It will be held in Armory hail next Satarday evening. It will be called a ratification meeting on the bill. If it partakes in any degree of the sessions preliminary to it, it will be a sortjof memorial service, or a "w;i ke."' Last uiglit about thirty-five men were present, presided over by President Butters, of the Union League. President Butters wore a mournful, a reverential air. as if con scious of his presence in the house of mourning, of standing race to face with the grim mystery, the end of all life. The members of the club followed his example rigidly. They spoke in low tones, with eyes cast down in solemn reflection. John (ioodnow was about the only man who could so far throw off the influence of the presence of the corpse to be able to make the necessary motions for the appointment of com mittees. And the village dominie was there— William Henry Eustis. He con doled with the sorrowing family but eulogized the deceased, Blame. The sermon had the effect of arousing the ire of a free-thinking member of the funeral cortege, and this furnished the only incident of the evening. When Eustis had finished Joseph T. Mannix took the floor and scored in no measured terms the sort of doctrine Dominie Eustis had been expounding. Republicans were not foreordained to eternal damnation be cause some political John Calvin said so. They would all go to glory. Before he would subscribe to such sentiDients he would give up his desk as a moulder of political opinion and go back to chasing police items and coroner's cases. For once Eustis was "called." and in the "show-down" it was revealed that he had been "bluffing." What about the arrangements for the ratification meeting? Oh, the meeting will be called for next Saturday even ing at Armory hall. All the necessary committees have been appointed or pro vided for. The general supervisory committee will be composed of a man from each ward, these men to be, so far as possible, the presidents of the ward dubs, the Union league, the Scandina vian Union league, the Union Veterans league and the Flambeau club. George A. Bracken will be asked to preside, in recognition of Ins brilliant services as chairman of the convention committee. Fred Douglass, and as many more of the convention visiting orators as have re mained in the cit3 r , will be asked to speak. That is all. While the Union League were mak ing arrangements to ratify, as they call it, the action of the national convention, evidence was cominc into Minneapolis of the real effect of the late convention. Judge M. kSyron, chairman of the county committee in Clay county, wrote to A. S. Dowdall yesterday that lie had just called a meeting of the Republican county committee to elect a new ehainna.li. The action of the na tional convention so thoroughly disgust ed Judge Syron that he could not re main at the head of the Republican committee and his self-respect. He wiU vote for the Democratic nominee for president. The Cleveland ektb will meet tonight at the regular meeting place, 42\ Nicol let avenue. The business before the meeting will be the making of arrange ments for attending- the Democratic national convention in Chicago. The committee on badges, appointed at the meeting held last night in James \V. Lawrence's otlice, will report at this meeting. It is Important thr.t every member of the club shall be present, p HAIIPELS IN COURT. Sequel to the Plot to Kidnap a Little Girl. About four months ago something akin to a sensation was caused on the east side by the attempted kidnaping of , a child named Dotes llarpel. Today] the sequel bobbed up in the district . court in the divorce trial of Selda J. Harpel against her husband, Enianuel Harpel. Mrs. Harpel is a very prepossessing woman, twenty-five years of age. She was ac companied by her child Doris, and kept close watch of her all through the pro ceedings as though fearful of another possible attempt to steal her daughter. The basis of the action is cruel and in human treatment. Mrs. llarpel was the main witness on her own be half. She detailed a long list of indignities she had put up with at the hands of her husband at their home m.Etie, ,I'enn. Although holding a good position, both socially and financially, her husband, she said, com pelled her to do all the work of the house, even to chopping wood. • At the time of her confinement he denied her medical attendance, and frequently struck and kicked her. Her testimony was corroborated by her sister, Mrs. Ellison, and her father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Gjeruni, with whom she is now living on the East side. The case will be resumed this morning. Mrs. llarpel claims her husband would not have defended the case- had she been willing to let him have the child. - MORE BEGINNERS. Commencement Exercises of the South Side High.

'-Resolved, That Kip Van Winkle was more sinned against than sinning." Fred Dustin and Harry Samson sustained the affirmative and Misses Amy Horton and Delia Kirt wood the negative. The music was fur nished by a school chorus led by Prof. O. E. McFaddon. THEY WENT A-JUNKETING. Return of Newspaper Correspond ents From North Dakota. The newspaper correspondents who were taken on a trip over the Great Northern road into North Dakota re turned yesterday morning. The board of trade of Grand Forks was at the • bottom of the trip, which was personally conducted by D. K. McGinn is, the secretary of the board. The Great Northern road placed two special cars at the disposal of the excursionists. They left Minneapolis Sunday night, reaching Grand Forks Monday morning in time for breakfast. Then the trip was continued up the Red river valley, through the greatest wheat-growing country in the world, to and across the Canadian boarder to Gretna. Then they returned to Grand Forks for supper and a look at the principal buildings of the city, leav ing on the evening train for Minneapo lis. The correspondents say that they were royally entertained, that they have met with nothing but hospitality since they came to the Northwest. Famous Criminals. Austin Byron Bidwell and George W. liidwell, the famous forgers who cre ated such a furor t wenty years ago by passing spurious checks to the amount of 95,000,000 on tht Bank of England, are in the city. Austin Bidwell was released from an English prison only a short time ago, havingssrved nineteen years, and George w"as released five years ago. The two are now selling a book descriptive of their experiences as criminals, with the view of securing enouerh money to ameliorate the condi tion of their accomplices, Edward Noyes and George McDonald, and pos- , sibly release tliem. George Bidwell* says that he was really the one to blame ■■ in the affair, anil he thinks his accom plices have been punished enough and should be released. "Vare Is Dobias?" Tobias G. Goldman, the noble and high-spirited clothi ng clerk, who grieved in silence because his Indiana sweetheart married another fellow, is missing. He left his home, on Vine place and Fourteenth street, last Friday ; afternoon and went to Lake Harriet, where he engaged a boat and went out' fora row. Afterwards the boat was found adrift, and in it was his coat, j while his hat was washed in upon the '. shore. His parents believe that Tobias was drowned, but the police discredit the theory. It is thought he arranged everything for a dramatic effect to influ ence his lost sweetheart iv Posey coun ty, and that in a few days lie will turn up again. Tobias was employed as a clerk at the Palace clothing store. Harrison's Relatives. Among the Harrisonites who came to Minneapolis durine the convention were several relatives of the president.

Minneapolis cannot have a monopoly of all the national political conventions. A few weak-minded individuals in this city really believed for a time yester day that the Democratic convention would be held in Minneapolis. It all grew out of a small news item in the morning papers. The storm that swept over Chicago Monday night wrecked a portion of the wigwam being erected tor the accommodation of the Democratic convention. That was all the information that came to Minneapo lis. Before noon the report had been spread abroad through the city that the Democratic convention would actually be held in Minneapolis; that the local committee in Chicago had telegraphed to Minneapolis asking for the use of the convention hall. Tlie story spread and gathered strength as it spread. The name of every prominent Democrat in the city who happens to be away from home just now was connected with the story. Each of idem was said to have telegraphed from Chicago asking for the Minneapolis convention hall. .Some of the members of the local citizens' convention committee actually believed the story, and went so tar as to write out a message to the Chi cago people offering them the use of the exposition building. But better sense prevailed, and the telegram was never sent. That story had the town torn wide open for a time. The telegraph com panies were ready to leave their wires as they are in the building. Several of the newspaper correspondents who iiad made arrangements to leave the city last night were rushing around to se cure accurate information. They would not go if the convention were coming to Minneapolis. The merchants were fig uring on extra profits. But the con vention will not come to Minneapolis. Chicago has that convention. Married in the Morn. Frank W. Commons, one of the popu lar chamber of commerce men, was married yesterday to Delia Marie An drews. The ceremony was performed at the Church of the Redeemer. Key. J. 11. Tuttle officiated. The bride was attended by Misses Emma Commons, Bertha Andrews, Mabel Conkey, Julia Mann, Alice Williams and Beatrice Williams. Howard Commons was best man, and the ushers were Sewell An drews, Archie King, Ed Osborn, Ben Woodworth, Scott Woodworth and Willis Williams. The wedding break fast was served at the home of Loren Andrews, 1700 Hawthorne avenue. Only a few intimate friends and the families of the young couple were pres ent. Mr. and Mrs. Commons will spend the summer at the mountain resorts of the East. Flushed the Sewers. No matter what happens, the city is generally called upon to acknowledge herself to be to blame for it. The re cent heavy rains have caused consider able damage in the vicinity of Twentieth avenue north. The water flushed the sewers, and flooded several cellars: The owners of the aforesaid cellars and j several business men will therefore sue the city for damages. Two Mismated Pairs. Two more mismated couples seek to correct their error through the medium |©« the dlvorco wurt. Gnss Weden wishes to be set free from his wife Edna. He charged her with hav ing committed adultery at various places in the city. They were mar- I ried at Hudson. Wis., in the spring of IS9I, and are thirty-eight and twenty nine years of age. respectively. Next comes Olof P. Holm, who makes simi lar charges atrawst his wife Annie. They were married at Litchfield. Minn.. in October. 1887, and have two children, whom Olof asks the custody of. He claims to be thirty-three years of age, and his wife ten years younger. A Savage Teamster. Jacob Foster, .1 teamster employed in Nelson & Tenny's lumberyard, brutally assaulted his foreman, Andrew Sundlie, yesterday morning. Sundlie ordered Foster to take a load of shingles to Clough's yard, but he refused. A dis pute followed, and Foster, becoming very angry, jumped from his load and I seized a heavy club, with which he as saulted Sundlie. He struck him several blows in the face, felling him to the ground. Before the other workmen fully realized what had taken place, Foster had escaped, and the police are now looking for him. Sundlie was re moved to his home at 1313 Monroe street northeast, where he lies in a precarious condition. -ant*. Democratic Convention.
