The Mercantile Arch.

In some respects the most novel street
decoration is that made by the P. q. Kelly
Mercantile company, and Allen, Moon &
Co., conformity across Third street oppo-
site the places of business of the two firms.
The decoration consists of an arch which
will attract the attention of every one of
the many thousands wha will honor the
occasion with their presence. The col
umns on either side Of the street on
which the arch rests is made up
of barrels, kegs and boxes of
merchandise in the following order: Base,
sixteen barrels of syrup, topped by bar
rels of pork and pickles, kegs of syrup and
fish, and boxes of soap and canned goods.
The arch is covered with kegs of fish, with
canvased ham and bacon suspended from
underneath. On one side of the arch will
be the inscription, ''P. Fl. Kelly, Mercantile
Co." and on the opposite, "Allen, Moon
q Co." Over the center of the arch is an
equilateral triange bearing the letters, IN,
P. R. r. and underneath, est. Paul."
Portland" the open space at the bottom
being filled up with two
clasped hands, while underneath the whole,
in German text, is the word 'Welcome."
The apex of the arch is twenty nine feet
above the street. Bunting and ribbons is
used literally, and with the unique design
and happy arrangement of goods dealt in
forms a picture that will long dwell in
the memory of those viewing it.

The SDILrp1lir.

Asouven1r of the event with which the
visitors will be presented on behalf of the
municipality of st. Paul is a biiou book,
handsomely bound in morocco, giving in
brief history of the Northern Pacific
road, the city of st. Paul, description of
the ''Wonderland," and other interesting
and valuable data intimately associated
with the great enterprise. The work was
compiled by j. Ell. Hanson, long associated
with the land department of the
road. The title page reads, ''St.
Paul and the Northern Pacific railway,
grand opening, September, 1883, compli-
merts of the city of st. Paul." The open
ing page Of the book gives the present city
officials of st. Paul, which is followed by
the committees of the city for arranging
the reception. Following is a sketch of
the city of st. Paul, its site and environs,
wholesale trade, rail and river connections
with the marts of the world, manufactures,
growth, sketch of the National park, etc.,
concluding with the first published anthem
tic map of the "Wonder' land
of the world" The work is

railroad headquarters, the high school
building, the Gilfllan, Drake and several
other of the more prominent business

ANEW SECT.

Fanaticism seems to be an Ingredient in
many minds by graceless fanatics and
unprincipled blasphemers. In these mod
ern days new socalled religious sect is
easily made to take root, however strange.
pernicious and immoral its
tenets and practices may be. When
Mormonism arose there are many who can
well remember with what derision and
scorn the revelations of Joe Smith were
treated, but we see to what a power it has
finally grown.
And now we have another sect growing
up in Schuyler county, and several ad-
jacent counties in Illinois. The leaders
are two apostate Methodist ministers.
They accept one of these men
as their Deity, one Rayburn
and in their praise songs the word "God. !"
is omitted and the word 'Rayburn' SUBJ
stituted. They call themselves ssPiI-
grims," talk and practice the tenets of
'free love-" and in the matter of "spirituaI
unions," seem to out rival even the Nor
mons. The opostate Methodist minister
who started this sect is Caleb Anderson
Obenshain. His confederate is
one Rayburn an ex-Methodist
minister. They have visions and reyela-
lions from God,.hold open meetings and
secret conclaves, in which latter occur the
most disgusting orgies. Obenshain has
abandoned his wife IA very worthy woman)
and his children, and taken unto himself
a spiritual wife in the person of a pretty
young servant girl. This was not to be
the only spiritual consort of the prophet,
who at one of his meetings announced
that he had vision in which God told
him that there was to be born in Erwin
(the town in which they have their head
quarters this year new prophet who would
dictate to the world, and he (Obenshain,
was to be its father. A few nights later
one of the married sisters arose in the
meeting and remarked that it had been
revealed to her that she was to be the
mother and Obenshain the father of the
expected prophet, an announcement that
received the unqualified approval of those
present, the woman's husband, who ia also
Pilgrim, not excepted.
Can beastly pretense to divide reyeIa-
zion we'll go further. These things have
aroused the community, and the most in
tense excitement and Indignation prevails.

violence against them perpetrated, but

Burial of Mrs. S.Lea Davis.

Yesterday afternoon the remains of the
late Mrs. S. Lee Davis were consigned to
their last resting place in the beautiful
grounds of Oakland cemetery. After an
opportunity had been given to the friends
and relatives of the deceased to take their
last sad looks at the remains, at the resi-
dence, the plate of the beautiful casket
was replaced and the familiar features of
that lovely lady were shut out forever from
human view, and the casket, covered with
profusion of the choicest flowers, which
shed gentle perfume about the sad and
mcurnful scene, was removed to the
hearse, and the coretge moved to Christ
church, where the short, simple, and
touching Episcopal burial service was
read by the Rev. Mr.. Gilbert At its con-
clusion, the pail bearers, W. S. Timber
lake, E. S. German, A. P. Wilkes, Geo. A.
Monfort, S. B. Gault, Charming Seabury,
Peter Berkey and Robert A. Smith, again
placed the casket in the hearse, and with
a long line of mourners followed it to the
cemetery, where, as the mild September
sun was sinking into the west, the remains
of this lady were consigned their narrow
resting place, amid the most profound
sorrow. 1t is rare that funeral is wit
messed where the general attendants all
had the appearance of mourners, but in
this instance each one present manifested
a personal sorrow, showingthe affection that
was universally felt for the deceased.

the most lllustrlous representatives of the
dear old fatherland. I consider it, he said,
great honor that l, German, was per-
mltted to complete the Northern Pacific
railroad, conceived and begun more than
ten years ago by enterprising citizens of
my adopted country. 1 hope the sanguine
expectation of the German citizens of st.
Paul in particular, and the people of the
great northwest in general, which
are based upon the completion of
the Northern Pacific road may be fally
realized, AS for myself, have not the
slightest doubt that the results which will
emanate from the completion of our road
will moro than justify the hopes of the
most enthusiastic. Applause. 1 came

twenty-five years ago, when the city was
in its earliest infancy, there being only
population of about 5000, and you all
know, gentlemen, what it is to day. APP
plause. And 1 have firm conviction
that the growth of this city for the next
twenty-five years will far exceed the rapid
progress of the last twenty-five. Renew
ed applause. Again, repeating his thanks
for the cordial manner in which he had been
received and the generous hospitality ex-
tended to his guests, he resumed his seat
amidst thunders Of applause. 1t was then
announced that the party would proceed
to Minneapolis upon the o'clock train
in response to an invitation which was ex-
tended also to the st. Paul committee.
During the inter7el of half an hour
elapsing between the lunch and train time
the GLOBE polyglot man moved about
among the strangers to ascertain
their impressions of the metropolis
of the northwest. Amongst those who
we're warmest in their admiration of st.
Paul was NTH. V. Hoist, one of the facul-
ty of Freiburg university. The professor
stated that he was in st. Paul in 1869, and
no one who had been accustomed only to
the slow growth of European cities could
believe it possible that snch rapid strides
could be made in the short space of four
teen years. Those who had not seen St.
Paul before and were fresh to the western
world were enthusiastic in their expires
sions of admiration. The public
buildings, the splendid stores, the lux
urious private residences, the magnificent
school houses; the beautiful market house
with its bustling busy Thong and marvel
Gus vegetables, the handsome and COM
modious railroad depot all came in for a
share of unlimited praise,k but above all
the strangers were impressed by the right
royal way in which they had been received
and ell were unanimous in saying that it
must be pleasant to live with people so
free and warm-hearted, SO hospitabie, so
congeniel and social.
The whole party left on the
Is o'clock train accompanied by
several of the st. Paul reception commit
tee, who promptly accepted the invitation
extended to them by Minneapolis.
This morning a special train will leave
for Minnetonka at $50, when the day will
be spent in German fashion. The whole of
the guests and the reception committee
will be grouped SO as to be photographed,
which is to be quite a work of art in
grouping and photography, and will be
presented to each guest as a souvenir.

THE ARCHES.
Grand "WeLcOlncv 4reh.

Probably the most elaborate of the sew.
eral arches is the one erected on Third
at the Intersection of Cedar, of which Cass
Gilbert is the designer and M. Shiere
Bro. the constructors. The general de-
sign is oriental, being copied from the
Moorish, or Saracenic arches forming the
gateways of cities. The structure is about
sixty-fve feet in width by twenty in depth
The arch, which is of a moresque, or horse
shoe form, is twenty feet across
the base and the height of the crown from
the pavement thirty feet. The arch is
fanked on the sides by platforms elevated
above the street some eighteen feet, resting
on cedar posts, which are trimmed in deep
red the intervening spaces being filled up
with different shades of green. On the
platform will be placed symbolic groups
of the cities of st. Paul and Portland, the
two termini of the road. Above the arch
is frieze six feet high of ever-greens,
bearing the word welcome" in large
brown letters. Above this frieze there is
light projecting cornice, and surrounding
the whole huge dome sixteen feet in
diameter, of yellow ground with rib lines
of gold, the whole structure rising sixty
of the main structure are miniarcts run
ing up to height of forty-ive feet, with
conical shaped cappings ofiGold, the min
iarets themselves being treat
ed with Turkish red
aligned with green and silver decorations.
The main space between the arch and the
corners is richly ornamented with varied
detail, composed of gold and silver deco
rations on red, black and blue grounds.
The Immediate frame around the arch is a
blue groundwork bearing the words in
bronze:
"St. Paul Greets the Northern Pacific and
its Friends"
Outside of this is band of bright GRIM
son, fanked with evergreens, the whole
framed in by a plain black band
ornamented with silver and
bearing the word "Villard," repeated seven
times. The remaining space is profusely
ornamented with floral decorations,
streamers, etc. The inside of the arch is
covered with bands of yellow and green
and festooned with ribbons. The min
arets are trimmed with blue and white, and
from their tops will fly streamsrs, while
festoons are strung in bewildering num-
Der and irregularity to all parts of the
structure. On the platform in ad-
dltion to the symbolic emblems above
noted, will be some eighty young ladies,
concealed from public view by the decora-
lions, who will shower the distinguished
visitors with cut flowers as they pass I'M
derneath. Extending on both sides of
Third street from the arch 128 feet in
length in the direction of Wabashaw is a
platform seven feet in width elevated some
two feet above the street, which is to be
occupied by young girls dressed in white.
who will distribute flowers to the visitors
as they pass.

The Chinese Arch.

One of the most beautiful and imposing
structures in connection with the demon
stration will be the Chinese arch in course
of completion on Wabashaw street be-
tween Ninth and Tenth streets. This will
undoubtedly be one of the most attractive
and elegant affairs Iof the celebration.
In form the structure will be compost
consittiag of an arch and pagoda in orr
entail style and workmanship. The span
of the arch is forty feet in length, leaving
an opening of twenty-four feet in the
clear, with passages of eight feet in width
at the base or sidewalk.
The height will be fifty feet with
bamboo poles twenty-five feet long, sur
rounding the pagoda, making total height
of seventy-two feet. Each pole will bear
a flag fixed in the center, and if there is
any breeze the stars and stripes will float
sixty-three feet from the sidewalk. The
towers will be thirty-two feet high and
surmounted by fine flags each,
representing the colors of
America, France, Prussia, England and
Ireland. The centre of the arch forms
unique pagoda, three stories in height;
they will be painted in the Japanese colors
of red, black and yellow; the roof will be
tastefully draped in the national colors of
red, white and blue. Some idea of the
magnificent effect producedi will be had
when it is said the roof will be embellish-
ed with over two hundred Chinese lanterns.
On the front side of the arch will be the
