ST. PATRTCK,S DAY,
To be Celebrated in St. Paul by a Parade
and Meetings in the Evening.

To be Celebrated in St. Paul by a Parade
and Meetings in the Evening.
Last evening a meeting of some of the
Catholic societies was held in the hall in
the basement of the cathedral to arrange
for the proper celebration of st. Patrick's
day. The Father Mathew Total Abstinence
society, the Knights of st. Paul, the Cru
saders, the st. Patrick's Benevolent So
ciety, and three divisions of the Ancient
Order of Hibernians were represented by
delegates. The usual formalities, such
as appointing committee on
credentials, ETC., were gone through
with. When the meeting got down to BUSH
ness the result was that it was decided to
obtain the services of two bands, have a
parade down Third to jackson, up Jackson
to Seventh, and up Seventh to the bishops
residence, where the usual call upon the
bishop will be made. Mr.. William l..
Kelly was selected to act as
marshal of the day, with authority
to appoint two assistant marshals. In
response to this appointment Mr.. Kelly
made very neat little speech, returning
thanks for the honor conferred, and prom
Using that he would put the boys through
in good shape. Besides the societies in St.
Paul, delegations from the Ancient Order
of Hibernians of Minneapolis and Still
water are expected to participate in
the celebration. All the societies that
are to participate are to be at the
cathedral at 10 O'Clock on the morning of
the 18th inst.
The above is the outline of the public
demonstration, and has no reference to the
arrangements to be made by the different
parishes for the evening.

''Do not put frosty bit into horses

by frosty bit as they would have been by

it will be warm, and thus save the
horse from needless suffering

it cannot always be done. The following
can, and it is but moments work: Hold
the bit close to your mouth, blow youa
breath several times upon each side of it.
and put it Immediately in the horses

enough OF the frost, SO that it will not

has been many years in the employ OF the
line. He became the third officer
in 1868, and after serving his time in sue
oeeding higher grades, was promoted to the
command in 1876. He was for some time in
command of the City of Montreal. Chief En-
gineer Todd has been with the Inman line
sixteen years and over, and is credited with
being a thoroughly practical man, in every
way fitted for the position he held. He is the
brother of the leading member of the ship
building firm of Todd, Magregor e. Co.,
of England. The City OF Brussels was of
iron, and one of the fastest and most trust
worthy OF the seven vessels now in the
service of the Inman line. Up to a few years
ago she was known as the fastest vessel ON
the Atlantic, ana, 1t is said,
held the reputation over five years.
She was built for the Inman Line at
Glasgow, by Todd & Magregor, and was
launched Aug. IL, 1869. Her first trip was
made in October of that year, and in the De-
cember following made a voyage from New
York to Queenstown in the remarkably
quick time OF seven days, twenty hours and
thirty-three minutes, which remained the
quickest time on record until 1875. She was
an iron, three-decked sloop-rigged propeller
of the following dimensions: Length 800
feet, depth, So feet, gross ton
mage, 3,775 tons. Her decks were divided by
strong, water-tight bulkheads, furnished
with sliding, water-tight doors, worked from
above. The vessel was steered by a steam
apparatus. Fire-proof steam and ship gal
leys, and baker-shops made it a mostimpossi-
BILE for fire to be communicated to them from
other parts of the vessel. Across the spar
deck was a covering of heavy steel plates.
The forecastle, round-house and poop-deck
were constructed of wire and wood in a most
substantial manner. In 1876 her engines
were taken out, and she was furnished
with compound engines which largely in
creased her carrying capacity, at the same
time she was reitted, the changes making her
practically a new vessel.

New YORK, Jan. "A genteely-dressed
man, about thirty years old, named Harri-
son, was arrested tonight, at Broadway and
Tenth street, on the charge of blackmail,
He refused to give his residence or say
anything in connection with the crime
with which he is charged. Harrison was ar
rested for trying to get $500 from Mrs. Henry
Rich, the wife of a merchant of that name,
who disappeared from his home Dec. 4 last,
and has not since been seen or heard
of. Three weeks ago the be-
reaved lady received letter, signed Asylum
House." in which the writer stated that he
was the custodian of Mr.. Rich, who was
in an asylum. This was followed by per-
sonals in the Herald and other letters, the
writer finally agreeing to bring Rich home
for $500, the money to be delivered
to a messenger. The bargain was to be carried
out tonight. Early in the evening an
American district messenger called with a
demand for the money; he was detained, and
two detectives hurried to the Office of the
company. When the Boy came along he was
Swallowed until he met Harrison, and the de-
t~ectives arrested him. He offered resistance,
but was quickly overpowered.

Judge Burke says William H. Vanderbilt
was elected president of the Nickle-plate
board of directors, which is the same as pres
ident of the company. Mr.. Vanderbilt was
elected till the annual meeting of stock
holders, which will be held on the 30th inst.
Judge Burke thinks it possible that
some changes may be made in the
board then, but cannot say whether
young Vanderbilt will be reelected presi-
dem or not. 1t has been understood for
some time that General Devereux would
accept the presidency under certain con-
ditions, one of which is, that the road should
be operated Independently OF the Lake Shore.
1t is rumoIed here also, that if General
Devereux becomes president of the Nickle-
plate, John Newell will Immediately resign
the general managership OF the Lake Shore.
