elaborate preparations for tho enter.

his characteristic enterprise and good taste,
Tho main dining-room had been tastefully dec
Grated, the national colors depending from the
ceiling in graceful festoons, while the insignia
of the order and the standards of Damascus
Commandery adorned the walls on every side.
The music stand was richly festooned with
flags, while other evidences of artistic taste
were apparent on every side.
Tho entrance to the ball room was through
the ladies' entrance of the hotel, and
the door of the ball room was guarded by
Sentinel Birmingham, who did the honors of
the occasion with his customary grace. By the
time the hour of nine had come about seven
ty couples had arrived, among them quite q
number Of Sir Knights and their ladies from
Minneapolis, Hudson and Chippewa Falls.

done to the repast, when the dance was re.
sumed and continued to an early hour this
morning.
The party was not full dress affair, yet
many of the ladies present were attired richly
and all becomingly. They represented much
of the beauty and refinement of. this city and
our near neighbors. All present expressed
themselves as highly delighted with the enter
tainment and anxious for the approach of the
remaining balls of the series, which will, no
doubt, be largely attended. The attentions OF
Col. Allen and his estimable wife to the com.
fort of their guests were unremitting, and one
and all were more than satisfied with every ar.

The Last Story Made Publtc-It Comes
From the John Kelly Gang.
in. Y. Sun, Dec. IA.
One of John Kelly's organs yesterday made
public story which has, for some time, been
privately circulated among the enemies of Mr..
Tilden and listened to by his friends.
The points of this story are, that after the
election in 1876 a person who is called Mr..
bearing the proposition that tho returning
board of that State should give the vote
of the State to Mr.. Tilden or the
payment of $4,000 cash. When Mr.. Jones
made this offer to Mr.. Tilden, he fatty refused
it, saying that the votes of Florida and Louisi-
ana were already secured, and he did not
need those of South Carolina. Mr.. Jones
by Mr.. Tilden, who requested him to confer
| with gentleman who is described as Mr..
Brown. Mr.. Jones saw Mr.. Brown, and that
gentleman handed him package, saying
! that he had been directed to give it to
him, but knew nothing further about it..
This package Mr.. Jones sent at once and uuo-
pened to Oharleston by an unnamed gen.
| tleman who had come thence with him, tell
ing him that it contained $4,000 to secure
| from the returning board return favorable
to the Tilden electors. The messenger
sailed with this package, but the ship had

by MIR. Tilden, who said he must telegraph at
once to Charleston that the package
must not be opened, and that it must be
Immediately restored to Mr.. Brown in New
York. This Mr.. Jones did, recalling the mes
senger and handing the unopened package to
Mr.. Brown, who is said to have given receipt
for it. There the affair ended, and the elect
oral vote of the State was returned for Mr..
Hayes.
This is the whole essence of the story told by
Mr.. Kelly's organ, and it would have little i'm
portance but for the fact that narrative sim

men as witnesses or parties to the transaction.
Should Mr.. Tilden think proper to meet this
story with any denial or explanation, his
statement would be received With interest by
the public. Meanwhile it may be remarked
| that if this story should be confr med by I'M
answerable proofs, the confirmation would be
as injurious to the other persons concerned as
to Mr.. Tilden.
