where the south end of the box was.
They used souniiug rods to find where
the _, south end; of the box was. lt
took four or five days "to find' it. The
box drain ran diagonally across under
the * fill from one side to the
other. There was from twelve to fif
teen feet of water at that time
in the basin, and after the heavy ram
on July *2o it was 30 to 35 feet in depth.
They then tried to drive a ?.v2 iron rod
through the drain from the north side,
but the . I^RHKLSBB
, Hod Became Set,
and that plan bad* to be abandoned; a
shaft was then sunk and was within six
feet of tin; box the night of the big rain
on July 26. The next morning the pond
was full of water, it was then decided
to commence 011 the east end and
put a sluice box in on the solid
ground. They .put a box in there
which started .-.about twelve or fifteen
feet from the water and ran north across
the fill. The box or trench was inclined
from six feet at the starting point to fif
teen feet on the north side oi the fill.
The north end of the box leaked and it
was necessary to be repaired and made
watertight. Four or five men were
floating around the. pond for four or
five days trying to locate the south end
of the* drain box. The mouth of the
box was in the bed of the stream,
there were four or five men at work
before the big storm, after that there
were ten or Twelve men. lie had been
ordered to keep the force of men down,
because the work during the mouth
previous had used up more funds than
were apportioned for such work. He
did not work the men at night, because
"starkey considered if there was any
dancer it would be safer to work in the
daytime. He told three or four resi
dents that there might be some danger,
and if they heard any alarm to get out
of the way." There was no particular
alarm agreed upon. He didn't receive
orders -from Mr. Rundlett to put
watchmen there, but reported the fact
of these being placed there to Mr.
Puitidlett. The watchmen were in
structed, if anything broke, to dump in
the manure which was at hand and
Give the Alarm.
Fire engines could not have pumpeo
the water out any better than the
syphons. One of the discharging hose
used was about twenty feet below the
intake end and an immense amount of
water was discharged. There was no
evidence of any weakness in the bank
when it broke." The water was running
in good shape when the men left after
li o'clock. The box culvert was about
115 or 120 feet in length. He did not
know whether there was an angle m
the culvert or not, but some of the
neighbors said there was.
Henry Starkey. a foreman in the engi
neer's office, was called. His testimony
corroborated Mr. Shanley's regarding
the time spent in locating the south end
of the box drain, the* sinking of the
shaft before the storm and the work of
using siphons to lower the water. He
had noticed a few cracks in the fill. The
ftlliwas part clay, --ravel and sand. The
iutlet of the siphon was about live feet
jfelow the surface of the water. The
water would have, been carried much
faster had the siphon hose been longer.
He did not have any more hose or he
would have used it. .The hose was
thirty-two feet long. He could not say
whether more hose could have been ob
tained or not. He did not think if the
hose had been larger it would have been \
a better way of draining the water off j
than by the ___\
Sluice l ■*■--. and Siphons.
lsadore L. Cross, foreman of one of
the street gangs, testified to trying to
find the south end of the culvert. He
had notified Commissioner Sofrancfc of
his failure to firfd the end of the drain.
Dbminick Phillips was one of the
party who tried lo lind the south end of
the. drain, and afterward worked at the
shaft sunk to get at the plugged end of
the culvert, lie was told if any indica
tions of a break occurred to warn the
residents. When this order was
"riven he was acting as watchman.
The bank gave way at 9
o'clock. He could see no change
iv the condition of the embankment
from other days the night of the acci
dent. The siphons were working when
the bank cave away. As soon as he
heard the crash he started down the
hill to warn the people living below. ; It
was about two blocks and a halt to the
houses. When he reached the houses
the flood had passed. He had been
watching six nights. The watchmen
were all on the west end of the fill when
it gave away. One of the men had just
crossed from the east end. There had
been no change in the bank ; at least
none he could see.
August Borne, a watchman, and son
of the man Gotleib Home who was
killed by the flood. said he went to work
at 7 o'clock. Mr. Shanley had hired him
that day, and told him to notify the peo
ple if the bank washed or showed any
signs of washing away. He had just
walked from the east side of the fill to
tiie west side when the break came.
His people knew there was water there,
but did not know there was any danger,
lie had not warned any of the residents
of the danger of the
Fill Wasblag Away.
F. W. McCoy, recalled, said: lie had
not examined the siphons nor given any
instructions about their use. He thouglii
the hose used hart been handled all
right, and was not of the opinion that it
would have been better to have used
larger hose in draining the water off.
The time taken. in preparing the trench
or sluice box would have been saved by
using larger hose, but it was a question
whether the draining would have been
done any faster, as the long hose would
naturally fill with air and not discharge
well. .
C. .1. A. Morris, a civil engeneer who
had been present during the taking of
testimony, was called. He had been
engaged in practical engineering for
years, and was familiar with construc
tion of dams, sewers, railroad bridges,
and had made a study of hydraulics.
The best thing to have been put in a till
Mich as that at Page street was a stone
culvert. It would not necessarily follow
that a stone culvert live or six feet
high would not become stopped up.
The plan adopted. to drain the water off
by siphons and a sluice box was a very
common way to drain water, ln his
judgment it would have taken about
fifty-five hours to drain the pond if the
water was running off as testified to by
the witnesses, In his opinion the re
sults would not have been greater had a
tire engine been used to drain the pond,
•ns the hose was liable to become clogged.
In answer to questions of one of the
jurors, he said the time in preparing the
sluice box or trench might
Have Seen Saved
by using a longer boss to run the water
off. The results, however, would be
doubtful, as the extreme length of the
hose necessary to carry out this plan
would render the discharge very slow,
and possibly no water would have ran
through. The theory of having
the intake end of the hose, say ten or
twelve feet below the surface, and the
discharging end near the base of the
north side of the fill was correct, but it
did not. or rather would not. always be
the most practical, because so much of
the hose would be on the
level of the street .that it
would ... not carry off the water.
The cracks in the fill would indicate
that the embankment had become well
soaked by the water. As to the use ol
the watchmen, he thought tlie warning
they could give would depend largely
dii how the break started. His opinion
was that the water had soaked between
the natural earth and the tilled portion
of the embankment, and was what had
caused the break.
At the conclusion of his testimony
Attorney Butts inquired if the witness
was a relative to Building Inspector
Morris. Mr. Morris replied that the
building inspector was his father.
The jury were locked up for about
half an hour and then returned
The Verdict.
That the said Frederick Kreiger came to
his death on the 3d day of August, 1892,
through the negligence of the city engineers
and assistants in not properly ' attending to
the drainage of the -accumulation of water
south of Page street, between brown avenue
and Woodbury si reel. The force of said
water, when breaking its bounds, ties) -ovine
the residence of said Frederick Kreiger "arid
causing his death in the wreck that followed.

Business, flavored with funny remin
iscences, of the late outing of the
Junior Pioneers, took up the time of
the members at the meeting last even
ing. The report ot the president in re
lation to the excursion was* not quite
complete, but enough returns were in
to show that the outcome would be
quite satisfactory. After disposing of
the. routine business, under the head
of resolutions.there^were many changes;
of the constitution proposed. The con
stitution of the Juniors can be changed
but once a year,. with a notice of 1 four
weeks, and as the annual .election of
officers occurs- in October, when these
changes will be voted upon, it was
thought advisable to - give no-,
tice of them at. this meet
ing in order to give suffi
cient time for a general discussion.
Some of the changes are quite import
taut, the principal one being tne ques
tion of incorporation, ami this was re
ferred to Messrs. Zollman and Aid. In
gersoll to make a report, especially on
the legal status of the case and the ad
visability of the move.
The next most important question
was that of extending the "time "of eligi
bility to membership, and- it is proba
ble that this point will cause a very ani
mated discussion when the question
comes up for final action. The scheme
at present proposed is to have the pres
ent association remain intact as the
Junior Pioneers, then allowing new
members to come in after a residence
of thirty years in - the state, -the
time of eligibility at present being
prior to " Jan. 1, 1501. For
instance, a person born in IS('*2. or com
ing to the state less than twenty-one
years of age at that time could become
a member'in 1892, and be known as a
Junior of ' 62. Those becoming eligible
in 1894, or 1897, would be known as
Juniors of '63 and-'CG. The whole idea
is to perpetuate the organization, and as
there are many views as to how this
should be accomplished a lively time
may be expected at the next meeting.
Tiie main features of tile other amend
ments are a proposal to have an initia
tion fee, allow the secretary a salary of
$30 and providing for remitting of dues
for sick and unfortunate members.
A resolution of thanks was passed by
the association to Messrs. W. A. Rus
sell and A. E. Kuester for the excellent
service they provided on the Duluth
road for the Juniors' outing. A great
deal of credit is due these gentlemen
for the train service they provided and
the promptness with which they carried
the crowd there aud back, as well as the
facilities provided at Lindstrom.
The committees were all thanked for
their services, especially the sporting
committer, and the police in charge of
order at the grounds:.." 7'"' ' 7 1;77- 7

MAID CARRIERS AT PLAY.
A Delightful Day Spent Amid the
Beauties of Wildwood.
There'll be songs and speeches.
And dancing light and gay
Thro' out the woods o' Wildwood.
And right merrily did the letter car
riers of St. Paul disport themselves at
Wildwood yesterday afternoon and
evening. The occasion was their first
annual outing day, and was thoroughly
enjoyed by the boys aud their guests.
Notwithstanding the threatening aspect
of the heavens, the afternoon trains to
the lake were all well filled with pleas
ure seekers, but, as evening drew near,
heavily laden trains followed each
other from the city in succession. Two
thousand would be a conservative esti
mate of the number on the grounds at
7 o'clock. Sei ben's band was in attend
ance, and dancing was indulged in by
the ooys and their sweethearts until
late in the evening. At 4 o'clock the
regular programme of sports was com
menced, after a short programme of
songs and recitations rendered in the
Casino. The contests were fourteen in
number, the entries were .numerous,
and the competition close and exciting.
The prizes were all articles of.. value,
and were donated by different mer
chants ot the city. The results in the
different contest were as follows:
100 yards dash First Allen, second Monroe.
Fat" man's race— Revord. second

After the shot-putting contest Will
iam Geraghty mounted to the top of the
bear cage, and, in a voice husky with
emotion, feelingly addressed the as
sembled revelers. In the course of his
remarks Mr. Geraghty indulged in
flights of oratory absolutely startling,
and carried his hearers to heights sel
dom attained by any open-air. speaker.
After a touching allusion to the manner
in which the very foundations of our
government depend in a measure upon
the faithfulness of the letter carriers,
and St. Paul's carriers in particular,
Mr. Geraghty closed with these words:
It is our earnest desire that there shall be
no limit to your enjoyment this evening.
From now until the hour when daylight dies
let pleasure be uneonnned. Let this roman
tic spot be our heaven tonight, and the
matches made will be consummated in that
earth of ours called St. Paul. Tomorrow. In
place of this Eden called Wildwood, we shall
find ourselves in the busy haunts ot men:
these secluded walks will be replaced whi
the crowded streets; but as the orb of day
light sets our thoughts will wander back to
Wildwood, where should dwell the doves
that do attend Cupid's warm commands
when friendship grows to love. To* Wild
wood, where virgin lilies bathe their beauties
in the lake— to Wildwood, where closed the
day 100 soon.
After the last of the athletic exercises
luncheon baskets were brought into
requisition, and the grounds were soon
covered with little groups, busily en
gaged in devouring the usual picnic
delicacies. After supper the people
amused themselves -in various ways.
At 10 o'clock the long, string of cars"
drew up at the platform and all depart
ed for the city, after a day and eveniug
of thorough enjoyment.

THE SAINT FATJL DAILY GLOBE: WEDNESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 10, 1892.
MORAL LINK LET OUT.
Saloon -Closing Orders Issued
After Two Weeks of License.
For the past two weens . there have
been no complaints .sworn out nor ar
rests made for keeping saloons open
after midnight. The seeming vigilance
of the patrolmen has been relaxed, and
saloons were kept open all night, or.
just as long as the proprietors de
sired to remain behind their bars.
The ordeu> of .the mayor, issued with
such a blare of reform trumpets, and
the failure to enforce it have been the,
cause of much comment Some claimed
the mayor and chief of police were try
ing to make good fellows of themselves,
while others said the Republican,
party managers had fixed things so
the order would be a dead letter until
after the fall election. Just what caused
the sudden switch of the reform wheel,
is not known, but last night the saloon
men were notified by the police to
close promptly at midnight or abide
the consequences. The order was
promptly obeyed, and at a minute after
midnight it was impossible to break into
a bar room anywhere. The most reason
able explanation of the hot and cold or
ders is that the mayor and chief of
police were suffering from a lapse
of reform fever and that the medicine
taken by one or the other yesterday
went the wrong way and caused a re
turn of the old feeling. As one of the
saloon men expressed it last night, "this
is a great country. Now you see it and
now you don't, lam in favor of re
torn), but blow me if I'm in' favor of
such sudden changes in the reform
breeze. . There is no need to kick, for if
you do the screws are put on and your
license, is revoked in a jiffy."

HE'S A GOOD Iti:i , UBIaICAN,
Cut Off Goes His Head— Officer ,
Honey's Discharge.
Patrolman James R. Haney was dis
charged from the police force yesterday
by Mayor Wright. Haney was brought I
before his honor 011 a charge of using
laoguage unbecoming an officer and a
gentleman. The complaint was
made by Sergeant Jerry Sullivan.
On Monday night Haney left his
beat to talk to another patrolman. The
sergeant called him down for the in
fraction of the rules. Haney abused
the sergeant in a vile manner and was
ordered lopppear before the mayor. As
a result of the investigation he was
given a chance to resign, but. declined
to hand in bis resignation. There being
no other way out of- it, the mayor dis
charged him. Haney feels very sore
over the matter and intends to make a
light in the council against the
action of the mayor. He claims
to have always been a good Republican,
a*id, as a matter of fact, was one of the
first of the police department to call
on the mayor the morning after elec
tion and congratulate him on the result.
At the time he explained to the clerks
in the mayor's store that he had been
waiting anxiously for twenty years to
see a Republican mayor elected, and he
was glad it had come at last. Taking
all this into consideration, Haney and
his friends are much put out over his
summary dismissal, and threaten ail
sorts of things in case he is not rein-,
stated. it iias been whispered among
those who assist in piloting the •'re
form" ship for some time that the
mayor was only waiting 10 get a chance
at Haney, and when he did he would
use the ax.

A Quartette of Unfortunates Go
to the Asylum.
The judge of the probate court was
busily engaged yesterday in conducting
the examination of four persons sus
pected of being insane. The first case
was that of Patrick O'Donnell. a single
man of twenty-seven years, residing at
920 Conway street. Drs. P. Marchand
aud Arthur Sweeney, who appeared as
experts, testified that the man was suf
fering from acute mania, caused by ex
posure to the sun and overwork. He
was possessed of the idea that he was
being followed by a number of persons
who wanted to harm him.
Jonn Wagner, a Polander aged thirty
nine years, was crazy with the idea that
he had received visits lrom the Virgin
Mary and that his mission en earth was
to convert every one to the Catholic faith.
He was found wandering around the
city in an aimless manner, and was. at
the city hospital for a time, but his case
was also pronounced as acute.
King Kee, a son of the flowery land,
seemed to be a bright, intelligent fellow,
ana could speak English fairly well,
but he also had a bee in his bonnet. He
assured the doctors that he could see
holes in the walls and that some one
was squirting water from them on to
him. He also desired to cut off his Dig
tail, a not very insane act to American
ideas, but a deed of the worst kind in
the eyes of the sons of Confucius.
Mary Grady, an old woman of sev
enty-six years, was brought into court
by the Little Sisters of the Poor, who
desired that the woman should be com
mitted to the insane hospital, as she
was suffering from senile dementia.
She sees spirits and ghosts at all hours,
and thinks that her life is in danger.
On the testimony of the doctors the
judge of the court made out orders for
the detention of the four persons ex
amined at the hospital for the insane at
Rochester. They were conveyed there
by the deputy sheriffs during the day.

Political Jottings Gathered
" From the ■-. Ranks of All
Parties.
' A lively fight is being precipitated
among.- ; the Republicans of Ramsey
county as to the party's nominee for
congressional honors.' The avowed can
didates are Col. A. 11. Kiefer and E. G.
Rogers. , It has been stated that Sena
tor Dean and "Senator Stevens have
been . "approached," but positively de
clined to enter the arena. The contest
for , the . nomination - will therefore be
lought out -between Col., Kiefer and
Mr. Rogers, and, from the present out
look, considerable . feeling * will be ere-,
ated in the Republican ranks,
-.••■ : 7t -t t
Col. Kiefer's candidacy for congress
dates from the city spring camuaign. It
had been. generally understood, up to
within twenty-four hours of the holding
of the Republican city convention, that
Col. Kiefer had but to say the word and
he could have the party's nomination
for mayor. The colonel, at the time,
was laboring under the infliction of a
severe family bereavement, and, it is
said, .was approached by the friends
of Col. Wright, who promised, npon his
withdrawal from the mayoral candidacy,
to give him their support for congress.
George Thompson was prominent in
these negotiations, as were also li. F.
Stevens and M. I). Munii.
ft t
The recognized supporters of Col.
Kiefer in this county have been the
much-maligned "kids" of the Repub
lican party, the workers of the. party,
to whose efforts the success of the party
in the city is largely due. The "kids''
were very desirous that Col. Kiefer
should consent to accept the nomina
tion, and dallied for days in the vain
hopes that he would come round to
their way of thinking. But the blan
dishments of the silk-stocking element
were too much for Col. Kiefer. lie re
tired from the field at the eleventh hour,
and Col. Wright secured the coveted
nomination. "-
The "kids" have not forgotten this
act of desertion on the part of their
leader, and now comes the sequel— they
will be found on the side: of E. G.
Rogers in the . primaries for the con
gressional delegates. That they will
win is apparent from the recent stand
made by the "kids" for McGiil's guber-,
natorial boom, In that fight the "kids",
were opposed by the. very men who
have pledged their support to Col.,
Kiefer in his attempt to get a seat in.
congress, with the result that the silk;
stockings were beaten hip and thigh.
No one will deny that the' "kids'- have,,
control of the Republican primaries of ;
this county, and can manipulate the,
county conventions to please them-'
selves. And they will nominate Rogers,;
in spite of the opposition of Messrs.
Thompson. et al. . . -^>> 7 ■
■t. t t 7 •'«.;;■
One of the young Republicans re- ;
marked yesterday:. "We. propose, .to".
teach Col. Kiefer a lesson. . He deserted
his friends when charmed .'by honeyed',
words and fine promises of his Whilom
opponents, and he must take the conse
quences. That the young Republicans,
can accomplish his defeat is evidenced
by the manner in which Thompson,
Costello & Co. were swiped in the re
cent county convention. These men
are the backers of Col. Kiefer. and when
the caucuses take place the gallant col
onel will not carry . more than two
wards. Mark my prediction: Ed Rogers
will be the Republican nominee for
congress.".
t T t
If Col. Kiefer cannot get the support
of Ramsey county in the congressional
convention he is "a very dead duck."
The Fourth congressional district is
made up of Ramsey, Washington,
Isanti, Kanabec anil Chisago. Mr.
Rogers' friends claim that he will carry
all the outside counties, and with the
opposition of the "kids" in his own
county. Col. Kiefer had better return, to
his desk rather than go down to an
inglorious defeat. B-ShSBSI!

Senator Davis, who is home to take
the stump in .the ensuing campaign,',
from an interview yesterday would. in
dicate that he is going to do so solely in :
the interests of the Republican party. \
"Senator Davis says : "1 shall . take the Y
stump and work for the success of the"
party, wherever it can be of service,.
from now until election.*' The senator,
might take the people into his confi
deuce. Were it not for the fact that he
is r a candidate for re-election to the
United States senate, he would not be
seen on many platforms in Minnesota*
this campaign. The senator is going on*
the stump for— for himself. - ;

The Republicans are very eager to
pull Ignatius Donnelly out of the gub
ernatorial race. They see that with the
People's party in the held, there is noth
ing on earth to prevent the election of
the Democratic candidate. Mr. Don
nelly may be a fool, but he cannot be
such a fool as the Republicans would
have us believe— having fought lira
nomination for years, and then, having
secured his ambition, at once retire.
The wish on the part of the Republicans
is but father to the thought. A close
friend of Mr. Donnelly's yesterday said:
"There is not the shadow of truth in
these statements. Mr. Donnelly . will

BLOODED STOCK IN PLENTY
Will Be a Feature, Col. Liggett
-:• Says, of the State Fair.
Col. Liggett, of the state railroad and
warehouse commission, was chatting
with several well known farmers of this
state in one of the leading hotels yester
day regarding the annual state fair.
The colonel has charge of the depart
ment devoted to cattle, and has for a
number of years been one of the hard
est.workers to make the annual exposi- *
tion of the products of the state a suc
cess. "The prospect for a good fair has
never been better at this season," he
said, "and the exhibits bid fair to be
larger and belter than at any previous
fair. Our . association offers a large
number of premiums, and the fair is so
liberally managed as to cause exhibitors
from- other states to compete in the
"various; departments. Minnesota will
come to the fair with her quota of
blooded live stock. 1 wrote to the lead
ing ; owners and breeders asking
them to exhibit, and have already
received many assurances* that they
inteud to show «their stock." Let
ters which the colonel has received
during the past week add to.
the list the following: Thomas Clark,
'Beecher, 111., with Herefords: the Larch
wood estate, of - Larch wood, 10., with
'Galloways; the Lake Home farm, of
[Mipneapolis.with Guernseys; Mr. Bick
•n'ell, of Hennepin, with Jerseys; Evart
'Irwin,' of Richfield, with "Holstein-
F.icisians; M***- E. Moore,, 01 Cameron,

'company, Fort Wayne, .Ind.; -E.
'W. Richmond, Columbus. Wis. ;
'0. H. Cosgrove, Le Sueur, end
■11. F. Brown, Minneapolis.
'Col. Liggett stated that in his opinion
now is the time for the farmers to se
cure blooded stock when prices are low.
'"There is no excuse for any Minnesota
|faimer.to be without good stock now. i
when high class blooded animals can be. !

BlXBi'S BENEFIT.
Cal Stone Sends a Characteristic
Letter From Denver..
1 The sale of seats for the benefit to be
given to Manager Frank Bixby, of the
Grand opera house/Monday evening
next, will open this morning at the box
office 01 the theater. Tickets which
have already : been" purchased will be
exchanged for coupon tickets at the
theater for the balance of . the week.
That the popular manager will be given
a rousing benefit cannot be doubted, for
his friends are legion. The programme
to be presented will be a most pleasing
one, and the committee having the af
fair in charge are busy in perfecting
tiie details. A full list of attractions
will be announced in the course of a.
few days, and -the benefit will no doubt
exceed the expectations of the mana
ger's friends.
Cal Stone, the well-known railroad
official, yesterday sent the following
characteristic letter to the beneficiary!
I see by the Denver News, as well as the
Pall Mall Gazette and the Paris Figaro, that
your benefit occurs An?. 15. I regret very
> much my inability to be present on this gala
occasion; but believe me, uo more deserving
person could be tendered a rousing benefit
than your humble self. Enclosed please
lind my check for $10. whicti I believe is the
usual cnarge for a box. As an empty seat
would look strange at such a lime, I wish you
would send one" seat each, provided they are
nut already supplied with tickets; if so,
transfer them, to Benjamin Harrison, Grover [
Cleveland and Ignatius Donnelly, thus as
suring dignity, avoirdupois and brains in my
stead. I trust that the crowds which will
ti.ruug the theater doors, eager .to gain ad
mittance, will surpass even tbe palmy days
when you were manager of the great Madi
son Square success, "Hazel KirKe." and that
you will not require the services of your old
protege. Lulu Hearst, the ''magnetic girl," to
draw the crowds; and that on my return to
my native heath 1 snail - hud the man who
stood by the side of Lew Wallace in those
dark and bloody days when he (Wallace)
wrote "Ben Hur,'' and gave him points on a
chariot race, with plenty of -money, all the
,' result of friends who are legion. - *

SOLDIERS ARE SHY.
As Republican Boomers They Talk
Much of Pensions.
The Union Veterans' league held its
monthly meeting last evening in the
municipal court room, Dr. G. A. Got
wold in the chair. The attendance of
the. old 'soldiers who . are to boom the
Republican campaign ' in the fall
was very light, and there was a per
ceptible absence of enthusiasm. Ten
new members were enrolled, and the
chairman slated that the new order now
numbered 128 veterans on the roil. A
resolution by Comrade Stees '.was
adopted, thaukinir Senator Davis for his
action in the matter of securing pen
sions for the veterans, and pledging
themselves to use all means to re
elect the senator. Col. Kiefer was
also indorsed for candidate for con
gress': in the Fourth ': district. A
committee was appointed to: wait on
Senator Davis and request him to ad
dress the veterans some time next
week, and to secure Market hall for
the purpose of holding the meeting.
Dr. Murphy, who was present, was
called upon to make a speech, and the
well-known medico made a' short but
pleasing address, in which he praised
the old soldiers for their services, anil
urged them to stand by one another in
the coming campaign. He paid a high
• tribute to the services rendered the vet
erans by Senator Davis.
