Resolutions,

which were adopted amid much enthusiasm.
which also greeted their reading, especially
when Charles Stewart Parnell's name was men
toned. The resolutions were as follows:
WHEREAS, 1t is the province of free people
to sympathize with the oppressed of all ma
lions, and cheer them on in their struggle for
liberty, thereby giving voice to freedom in
the holy battle Of right against might; there
fore, as free citizens Of a free republic we do
most earnestly sympathize with the Irish peo-
pie who struggle to-day for the fields they have
made rich with the sweat of their brows, for
the soil God has given them for an Inheritance,
yea, for very existence in the land of their
birth. We know full we'll the fearful disad-
vantages under which they labor-a disarmed
and impoverished people witha Just cause,
having arrayed against them landed aristoc-
Faey, with all the machinery of unjust laws
and resources of great power at their COM
mand. Therefore we recognize and admire the
heroic determination of people who boldly
make known their rights and demands under
circumstances the most trying.
WHEREAS In accordance with her oft asserted
right of nations, the British government, in
the interests of the Turk and Mussulman has
demanded reforms in Turkey and othef couuin-
tries of the east, therefore, in the intereat of
Christian civilization. it is the right and privi-
lege of the American republic to call for re-
forms IN ireland, ana especially In the land
laws which make few hundred aliens and
non-residents the absolute arbiters Of the lives
liberties and happiness of five millions of peo-
pie; therefore, be it

Resotled, That We approve of the policy of
the Irish National Land League in keeping the

Meeting MinueaDolfs.

mass meeting of the citizens Of Mime
apo!is was held at the Academy of Music last
evening, for the purpose of discussing the
troubles of the people of down-trodden Ire
land. The meeting was a large and enthusi-
astlc one, and the many warm words of sympa-
thy spoken during the evening were greeted
with tremendous applause. The meeting was
called to order by DR.. Collins who
introduced Mayor Rand as the presi.
dent Of the meeting. Mr.. Rand
viewed at length the sufferings of the Irish
people from scarcity of food and clething.
Prof. o. V. Tousley delivered an able speech
reviewing the troubles of Ireland from per.
sonal observation during his recent European
tour: The trouble, he explained, arises from
the fact that the large property owners reside
Ireland, and rent their lands to farm
tenants, who pay exorbitant rents for Its use.
With the increased Improvements on land. the
rents are raised, thus putting q very severe tax
on industry. Through this state of affairs
Ireland. although one of the most fertile spots
on earth, is in the worst possible condition,
and the people actually in starving con-
dition.
Prof: Tousley was followed by VIM. Lochren,
Platt B. Walker, Capt. J. q. Rea, Hon. e. M
Wilson and DR.. Collins, each adding words of
sympathy for the oppressed.
. w. IA I!isDury OHered the following resOlu-
ton, which was unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, 1t appears that the people of Ire
land are in serious danger Of suffering from
famine; and 49,
WHEREAS, The restitution and suffer-
ing now prevailing seems likely to in
crease in that country, is in great
measure attributable to the oppressive system
of land tenure which obtained and has existed
there for centuries; therefore
ResolOed, That we offer our sympathy to the
people of Ireland in their present distress, and
are Of the opinion that reform Of the
land laws, SO as to enable the cultiya.
tor to become the owner of the
soil, is imperatively called for;
and that at the least the laws of primogeniture
entails, and other outgrowth of feudai tenures
should be abolished, so that by the peaceful
operations of natural laws large estates may be
broken up and the acquisition to titles to land
by the industrious and thrifty become DOS
sible, as in other countries, and We protest
against the attempt the constitutional adj
vocacy of the redress of admitted grievances.
as calculated to drive the people into the
adoption of violent remedies.

SALTWATER, Dec. 1S.-Caroline Krutzer, q
female convict in the penitentiary, deliberate
ly threw herself from three story window at
that institution this morning, falling dis.
lance of forty-6ve or fifty feet. This morning
the matron, who has charge OF the female con-.
victs, Miss Annie Bowling, started on her
usual morning rounds, opening the cells in
order to let the inmates have their breakfasts
Opening the door of the cell in which Mrs.
Krutzer was confined, she passed on to the
next, and, while unlocking the door, saw Mrs.
krutzer pass iuto the hall with an apron which
abe had been sewing in her hand. Miss Dow
ling thought nothing of this action on the part
OF Mrs. Krutzer, supposing her to have gone
after wood, which is left in the hall.
Mrs. Krutzer, not having returned, however,
by the time she had locked the door of tho
other cell, she started in search of her, and
proceeded to the kitchen, but no
one there had seen her. She
then opened the front hall door
and found the woman lying upon the
ground grooming with pain. She had in FALL
ing, struck partly ON the side of her head, and
also received internal injuries. Assistance was
summoned and she was carried to her room
and DR.. Pratt summoned Both eyes swelled
and blackened rapidly, and she suffered in
tense and unconscious pain. No definite rea-
son can De assigned Tor the rash act, although
it was probably caused by temporary insanity.
In an interview with Miss Bowling it was
ascertained that for short time past the wo-
man has appeared to be very melancholy, and
has often said that she would die soon. No
attention was paid to the remark, however,
until her leap from the window revived it all.
The other female convicts stated, yesterday,
that she had hidden them good bye last Satur-
day, saying thatnhe expected to die, and two
letters written to her husband, in German,
were found yesterday, the purport of which is
that she forgave him and others, and that she
would soon be dead.
The hall into which the women's cells open
turn right angle before reaching the hall
windows, and after turning this angle Mrs.
Krutzer was out of view of the matron.
Throwing up one of the windows she took the
dreadful leap into eternity. sE ss-s. = !
The dead woman was sixty years old, and
was sentenced from Anoka county on the 18th
day Of September, 1879, for assault with a
dangerous weapon, for one year.
She died yesterday at o'clock, after suffer-
ing intense pain. No bones were broken by
the fall. Her husband has been telegraphed,
and the prison authorities are waiting his arri-
val to see what disposition will be made of the
