Been Done by the Association.


Been Done by the Association.
The annual meeting of the Young Mems
Christian association took place last night at
its rooms in Odd Fellows block. MIR. G.. W.
Hackett, the vice president, called the meeting
to order and opened the exercises by giving out
hymn, after the singing of which he read
selection of scripture, and asked DR. Conn to
lead in prayer.
The report of tho membership committee
was presented by Col. Mcclellan, its chairman,
membership. By the adoption of the report of
the committee, those named in the application
we're declared elected.
The report of the treasurer was then pre-
sented by Mr.. s. L. Robbins. It showed that
the association had only received $1,700 from
long standing, being carried over from the
time that the association had been chiefly en-
gagged in the relief work. had been somewhat
in creased, and was now in the neighborhood of
5000.
It was further reported that after careful
estimate the board of directors had determined
that at least $3, 600 would be needed to pay off
the indebtedness of the society and carry on
the work of the current year.
The question of holding the public annual
meeting in the Opera House next Sunday even
ing, or of postponing it to future time, was
very fully discussed. It was finally decided
that it would be best to postpone it until the
question of holding union services by the as
ISOLATION with the aid of the pastors of the city
| had been fully decided upon, in order that the
annual meeting might be, if possible, the first
of a series of services which should continue
on Sabbath evenings thereafter without break.
A most hopeful spirit for the future per-
| vaded the meeting, and the determination was
| evident to make the commencement of new
! association year and the engagement of the
| new secretary, Mr.. Holdridge, the beginning of
a vigorous and continued effort to make the
association what it has never yet been, an at
tractive place of resort for the CONNIE rcial
| class of young men of the city, and to make
Its influence tell upon their lives in every way.
"A Conditional Pardon.
| For the first time in tho history of the State
a. conditional pardon will be issued to-day
by Gov. Pillsbury. On April IA, 1877, Bernard
Huckenpoehler was sent to State prison for
term of two years from Carver county for the
crime of seduction. The woman in the case
Josephine Clagston, having succumbed under
a promise of marriage. Since the incarcera-
ton of Huckenpoehler, who is represented by
the prosecuting attorney, s. L. Baxter, ESQ.,,
of Carver county, as "a steady, honest and
hard working farmer" the girl has signiied her
willingness to marry the convict, who in turn,
has expressed his desire to SO far vindicate her
outraged honor as to be ready to enter with
her into wedlock. Accordingly, Judge J. L..
Mcdonald, of the Eighth judicial district, be-
fore whom the trial was had, Mr.. Baxter, afore-
said, and Others have united in praying for
executive clemency in the case. Gov. Pills
bury has therefore granted conditional par
don in the following express terms:
This pardon is granted upon the express
condition that as soon as liberated from prison,
Bernard Huckenpoehler shall at once marry the
woman, Josephine Clagston, whom he seduced,
and shall continue to provide for and live with
a wife. In case the above conditions are not
fully complied with in all respects, then this
pardon shall be revoked, and Huckenpoehler
shall be at once recommitted to State prison,
and shall serve out the full term for which he
was sentenced"
