Housing and Enthusiastic Gathering Last
Night.
The meeting of the Workingmen's Union
last night was by all odds the most enthusi-
astic political meeting held in the city for
years, while in numbers it was second to
none. TO compare it with the so-called Re-
publican ratification meeting of Saturday
night would be much like comparing an OK
to the fly that seeks to anoy it. Seats
were provided for $50 persons
Had four times as many been
provided, the indications were that
they would be used. Not only was every
seat occupied and every available inch of
standing room utilized, but the halls and
stairways we're crowded, and in at least one
half the main hall the audience sat two deep,
SO that over eight hundred persons were in
attendance. In addition, immense crowds
gathered on the sidewalks, unable to even
get into the building, and it is estimated that
fully another thousand went home.
OF the proceedings it is sufficient to say that
they were in keeping with the occasion.
Telling speeches were made by NJ. w. Glenn,
P. M. McPardin, G. McC. cReeve, D. M.
Guerton, E. A. Cramsie, E. Hodgson, b.
McDermott, j. B. Bassett and others, and
the crowd yelled for more. At late hour
the meeting adjourned with ringing cheers
for Glenn and victory.

Mr.. A. H. Beal, the photographer, who has
80 frequently been burned out, has once
more come to the front, and now is Offering
an entirely new picture to his patrons, and
one, too, that surpasses anything heretofore
offered in this market. The following de-
scription of the picture will, to some extent,
enable one to judge of its beauty:
They are permanent impermeable prints,
redresscd, enamelled and colored, are OBJ
tanned in every tint, on different colored
artistic borders and designs, mechanically,
and quicker than by the other silver or car
bon processes without enamelling. The
chromotypes are admitted to be far superior
and essentially different to all that has been
obtained to this date by all the silver and
carbon processes known. Colored prints
are obtained mechanically, and can be de-
ivered permanent and impermeable the day
of the pose. All the defects of negatives
easily corrected without retouching prints.
Rembrandt pictures obtained from ordinary
negatives; lights or shadows added, if de-
sired. Whites purer than in silver processes
and shadows brighter. Matt, half gloss, or
enamelled prints attained at will. Tones or
colors mechanically obtained. No more sill
YER, gold, enamelling, washing, toning, nor
pressing required. Whites purer than in
porcelain, opal, or enamel pictures. Por-
traits obtained on wood, canvass, mica, or
porcelain, on fiat, irregular and curved sur
faces.

County Commissioners,

county commissioners,
The business transacted by the board of
county commissioners yesterday was as fol-
lows:
The committee on poor farm reported in
favor of accepting $4,000 in full for insur-
ance on the new house at the poor farm re-
Gently burned, together with the furniture,
and provisions in the same. The report of
the committee was accepted and adopted
without dissenting vote.
The total amount of insurance was $5, 800,
but the amount of property saved was con-
sidered by the board and adjusters well
worth $500. The settlement is perhaps the
best that could be arrived at, and certainly
it was wiser for the board to accept the COM
promise than to involve the county in ex-
pensive litigation. The money was paid
over to the board.
The chairman of the board was authorized
to adjust all matters of insurance on the old
building at the farm, and to sign all neces-
sary receipts and vouchers, and accept in
behalf of the county all moneys due or to
become due by reason of such loss. The
amount of insurance on the old building was
So, 900, and on contents $500. It was to.
tai loss, and the amount will be paid in full
the adjusters for the companies feeling sat
isfed that the county had lost to the full
amount named in the policies.
The board then adjourned till Thursday
morning at IL o'clock.

drink. The inhuman being whom she has
been taught to call father, told Mrs. Nice
that he intended taking but one room for
himself, his son, about nineteen years Of
age, and Julia, and that he intended having
them all sleep in one bed.
This state of facts becoming known to Dr..
Turner, that gentleman has referred the
matter to the Society to Protect Children
from Cruelty, who have taken steps to pro-
tect the child from further barbarous treat
ment. She is now eight years of age, but
does not even know the alphabet. IF there
were any doubts as to the genuineness of
her mothers high birth and education, they
would be dispelled by look into her inter-
esting face.
Julia has beautiful face, rich growth of
dark brown hair, clear, bright hazel eyes,
with long dark lashes, a Grecian nose, . skin
as pure as alabaster, and with cheeks resem-
bling IN color half-ripe cherry. In her
manner she is frank and modest, and, al
though she has been accustomed, during her
short and eventful life, to listening to
bad language, yet one ignorant of her his
tory might suppose she had been raised in
the lap OF luxury. Asingular fact connected
with the strange history of this worse than
orphaned child is, that no legal transfer was
made by the mother to Mrs. Wonderley, SO
that as the case now stands, she is without a
legal protector, or was until the society as
summed the charge of her. The case has in
voked the sympathy of the whole community,
and much anxiety is felt as to the fate of the
little heroine of the romance.

BOARD OF TRADE.

Monthly MISUNDERSTANDING RepOrt-I,,-
crease of Observation-Disclosures, etc.
The Minneapolis Board of Trade held its
regular monthly meeting yesterday morning.
The business transacted was as follows:
First, the minutes of the last meeting
were read by the secretary. He then pro-
ceeded to read to the board reports of the
New York produce exchange and of the
board of trade of Chicago for 1877.
The following resolutions were offered by
Mr.. Chute, and unanimously adopted:
Resolved That the commercial interests of
the entire country would be greatly subserved
BY speedily disposing Of the proposed tariff and
or rejection; agitation and uncertainty having
the effect to interrupt all business, and if long
continued, amounting to a positive calamity.
Resotued, That in the opinion of this board,
frequent attempts to alter or amend our tariff
and tax laws are most detrimental to our COM
merce, and are greatly to be deprecated.
1T IS further Tesozued, That the frequency
with which our presidential elections occur,
with all their attendant excitement and agita.
ton, together with the changes of policy which
| frequently attend them, is detrimental to the
material interests of the nation; and in ou1
opinion, the proposed amendment to the con.
stitution of the United States which extends
| the presidential term to six years should bt
! promptly adopted.
Resolued, That copies of these resolutions b.
forwarded to mem bers of Congress, and also t.

.Bea stlv Outrage.

One Of the most beastly and inhuman
outrages that has come to our notice for
some time past, was committed in the city
recently. and the perpetrator thereof has
been arrested, had preliminary trial, and is
now confined in the county jail to await the
action of the grand jury at the next term of
the district court.
It seems that young man by the name of
Frank Beacon, who has been employed in a
butcher shop on lower Washington avenue
had sleeping apartments over the store. One
day two little girls named Josephine Depo;den
and Lizzie Mandary, called at the store and
Reaon asked them to go up to his room as
he had some pictures. to show them. Little
dreaming of the danger they were in, the
children followed him. Upon entering the

not allow the latter to depart. The man
then caught Josephine Depolden, who is
only ten years old, threw her on the bed,
and, despite her resistance, outraged the
child's person, leaving her in terrible con-
dition.
The young man was brought before the
municipal court yesterday afternoon for
trial. The details are too revolving for pub
lcation, and arc consequently omitted. At
late hour he was bound over in the sum of
one thousand dollars to appear at the next
term of the district court. In default of
bail he goes to Jail.
