GOSPEL TEMPERANCE UNION.
A Business Meeting Held Yesterday to
Perfect an Organization.

The Gospel Temperance union held business
meeting yesterday afternoon at O'Clock, at the
jackson street NJ. E. church, about 200 persons
being in attendance. Hon. j. B. Brisbin, presi
dent Of the union was in the chair, and opened
the meeting by calling on DR.. Dana for prayer.
Upon motion Messrs Gibson, Thorpe and Ladd
were appointed committee to draft set of by
laws for the guidance Of the organization, and
while they were deliberating Dr. Dana took
casion to say that he was heartily in sympathy
with the body in the work it had before it. He
said it could not be too patient too persistent
in the labor OF perfecting system which would
produce the greatest amount OF good, and that
the union would be but small and feeble insti
tuition without thorough organization and earnest
labor on the part of its members. Mr.. Brisbin
followed by reading a piece of poetry entitled,
There's Danger" from an Atlanta, Ca, paper,
the sentiment of which, he endorsed, without
endorsing the poetry as poetry. DIR. Mar
shall said something should be
done to give the union permanency of ex-
astence. Without constant attention by all its
officers it would grow smaller by degrees and
| finally perish. The meetings should be held in
hall which should be especially set apart for
/ the of the uniOn, where the members might
gather during the week and read the papers, hear
/ good music and enter into social converse, and
/
/ given at which our wives, mothers and sisters
could be present. Young men go the saloons,
not much for the rum that is sold there, as
/ for the social atmosphere which is there present.
/ Something must be done to counteract this drift
I 10 the grog shops by affording young men
/ some other social attraction.
The committee then returned and reported q
/ set of by laws Some discussion ensued a. to the
! frequency, hour and place of meetings, which
was finally disposed Of by making them weekly
on Sunday afternoon at O'Clock in a hall to be
| provided by the organization, and the bylaws as
a whole adopted.
Messrs. Thos. Cochran, J. II. Thorpe and Mrs.
Burchard were appointed committee TO select 4
/ hall for the meetings and report on Sunday after
noon, at the Jackson Street VI. Z. church. where
the next meeting will be held.
After an announcement by the president that
/ Rev. ". W. Satterlee. of Minneapolis. would
/ speak next Saturday evening at the Commercial
! college, corner Of Seventh and Jackson streets,
/ the meeting adjourned.

TAX PAYERS MEETING.
A General Kick Over the Assess
ment for Grading Winifred
Street.

The following call was publshed'in Fridays
GLOBE:
The tax payers of the Sixth ward and those in
terested outside of Winifred street will hold
meeting at Rebholz's hall, Dakota avenue, on
Sunday afternoon, Sept. 2Sth, 1884, at 3 p. N.
All those that are ready to have justice done
them are requested to come prepared financially.
In accordance with the call quite a large audi
ence gathered, The minutes of the last meeting
were read and approved.
Mr.. Peters was asked by Mr.. Southwark how
it was that Mr.. Dawson was rebated $50 on each
lot for assessment Mr.. Peters did not answer
Mr.. Meyer, who owned property Winifred
street, objected to anybody paying or helping to
pay for his assessment. He would pay for his
own and have others do the same.
Alderman St. Peter rose in yindication of his
actions. lie stated that majority of the prop
erty holders on Winfred street asked to have it
graded, but with the outside assessment he had
nothing to do, and was in sympathy with those
on the outside who were assessed.
Nels j. Ness stated that he had expended over
$500 for the drainage of his block, and that he
was taking out stone which might in a short
time make him even.
Mr.. Peters stated that Mr.. Ness had left
hole twenty feet deep which obstructed
the street. and that was why he was assessed.
Chas. Butcher said that he was in no hole, but
West side, and wanted to know why he was as
sessed.
1t was moved and seconded that all property
owners outside of Winifred street. who have
been assessed for other peoples property, and
who have not contributed to the fund to fight it
in the courts, be requested to come forward and
sign their names and assert their willingness to
stand their share of the expenses. Carried.
1t was resolved that the member of
the legislature, to be elected, should be in
structed to work for the passage of law for the
election of members of the board of public works
and city engineer by direct vote of the people.
Mr.. j. w. Iverson came as a representative of
the 'plat to endorse the action the meeting, and
suggested that instead Of asking that the board
of public works and city engineer, who were only
tools of capitalists, be elected by the people,
they be abolished altogether.
Itwas resolved that mass meeting of the citi-
zens Of st. Paul be called to lay plans for the
election of Legislators to secure law
abolishing the board of public works and the
office of city engineer, and that the board of
aldermen be authorized and suitably compen-
sated for properly doing what the board of public
works are now expected to do.
Mr.. Peters admitted there was no petition Of
the property owners along Winifred street to
have that street graded but he took the word Of
q few who owned considerable property on the
street that it was necessary.
The mass meeting was called for next Sunday
at 3 O'Clock p. m.

A Newsboy Killed by Street Car.


A shocking and fatal accident occurred on East
Seventh street abo6t 9:S0 yesterday morning, re-
sulting in the death of a ten year old newsboy,
named Simon Boadspitts, who was run over and
manged by a street car. At the time the lad
was on the rear end OF car No. %, going west on
Seventh street, between Olive and John streets,
when he was called by boy who stood on the
sidewalk. In responding 10 the call he jumped
from the platform, and just as they did he
vas knocked down and run over across the abGo-
men by car No. as, which
was going in the opposite direction.
He carried bundle ofnewspapers and in falling
the bundle caught under the wheels thus pre-
venting Whist otherwise would have been instant
death As il was he was dragged some distance
being bruised and terribly msngled BY the wheel.
The little fellow was perfectly conscious when
picked and he was carried into drug store when
the patrol wagon was called for The little fel-
low scarcely groaned. bearing his suferings with
fortitude. he was taken 10 the city hospital,
where his injuries were dressed By City Physi-
clan Aucker, who could only render relief TO the
pains of the dying boy. BE lived until D. N.
His parents reside at Post Siding.
Il is stated on good authority, that although
two physians residing in lower town were called
on 10 aid him. they refused. saying that the

DR.. uilr.r,s La.t sundav.in 81. Paul.

Dr. Emory Miller yesterday closed his connec-
ton with the First NJ. Z. church OF St. Paul,
having accepted call from the First NJ E.
church Of Des Moines, Iowa, the largest Metho-
dist congregation west of Chicago. At the morn
ing service yesterday, DR.. Miller, in explaining
why he severed his connection with the church
at the close of the second conference year instead
Of the third, stated that he had decided upon
the step because he felt that he could be more
useful IN the parish to which he was going than
he could here, and that he was convinced that
duty called him.
Q In the departure OF DR.. Miller, st. Paul loses
one of the most scholary and learned divines
that has ever labored within her bor-
ders. His disccurses are marked by the
most profound thought and exhaustive research
while his diction is graceful and finished. In
logical and argumentative construction his SER
and are at once instructive and strengthening,
opening new fields Of thought and leading the
listener by clearness OF analysis to discern and
appreciate the sacred truths in all their rich and
supporting grace. Never attempting the tricks
OF rhetoric or indulging in fowery flights of
fancy, his discourses may fail TO satisfy the su-
perfcial mind that seeks sensation even in the
pulpit, but the thinking, earnest seeker FOR
light finds In the reverend doctor q conscientious
teacher and a satisfying expounder of the word.
Many heartily regret DR.. Mller's departure, feel
ing that ST. Paul loses in him Christian gentle
man whose friendship is not only privilege but
an honor.

Co,,,,odorc Kjt,so,,,s Yorses,


Though Johnston and Minnie r. did not do
well at Milwaukee as it was hoped they would,
the display they made was good could be
expected under the circumstances, and even bet
ter The attendance was very slim though. This
was probably owing, in a considerable degree, to
the raw wind that swept over the track. Rich
bail the Texan PAGER, did not succeed in pacing
a. fast as he has other tracks this season, and
the best he could do on the Milwaukee track
was =: 13M johnson did better than this and
paced right down to his record of 2:10. Though
he failed by the record do that which he set
out 10 do viz: 10 down his own record, he
succeeded in equaling it, and taking the circum-
stances surrounding it into consideration, the
10 on Saturday at Milwaukee was a better per-
Torrance than any other made by him. The
track was in good condition except in one spot
whereth dirt was soft and wet. In addition
to this a strong wind blew down the home stretch
interfering very greatly with the speed of the
great PAGER Minnie Il. accomplished what she
set out for and dropped her record TO 2:05H
which is a gain for her of three-quarters OF
second. Fannie Witherspoon beat Fritz easily
in 2:19. Had the day and track been more favor
able johnson would undoubtedly have lowered
his record The work he did and the manner in
which he did it show that there is speed
in him than he has ever yet made pubic. The
season is little too far advanced, under ordi-
nary circumstances, for the fastest time, and
these cool fall days are not calculated for fast
records, especially in these northern ATTITUDES
1t is probable that he Will not drop his record
this season, but all who know the horse feel con-
ident that he has yet reserve Of speed in him
that will, on some favorable occasion, enable him
to knock off one or more seconds from the -2:10
record. Fannie Witherspoon had no trouble in
winning against Fritz. The result was a fore
gone conclusion, and she beat him out in 2:19
with comparative ease. The commodore has
reason 10 feel satisfied, all things considered,
with the result of Saturday. 1t is greatly to be
regretted that johnson and Mime Il could not
have had a chance to make their trials on either
the Hartford or the Rhode Island tracks. The
horses will probably work their way sonth from
Milwaukee, and will in all probability go to Gin
cinnati and Kentucky.

AMONG THE WORKINGMEN.

Much has been said about the disaf-
lection among the Democratic work
ingmcn of New York city ut the noini
nation of Cleveland. To get at the real
feeling, the Irish World sent its re-
porters into the shops and factories
among the workingmen thems elves,
with instructions TO give reports ex-
actly as they found them. Some thir-
ty-five or forty establishments were
visited, which employ over 5000 inca.
Most of these are Democrats, aud the
large majority of them Irishmen.
They found the men ouespoken in
their opposition to Cleveland. While
few said they would not vote at all.
and others said they would vote for
Ben Butler, at least three -fourths de-
clared openly they. would support
Blaine. The manufacturers as well rs
the workmen expressed themselves
very positively against the free trade
tendencies Of the party. This was es-
pecially the case with those from for
eign countries who have had taste of
European free trade as practically APP
piled TO business. There is no doubt
but that the tide has fairly set in
against the Democratic party among
the great industrial classes, and the
indications at this time are that its de-
feat will be overwhelming.

mot NEW"
To the Editor Of the Eagle !.

To the Editor Of the Eagle:
The charge is made editorially in yester-
day mornings EAGLE that the article on
Educational Reform published the day
before contains nothing that is new
either in fact or theory. By the manner
In which the critic snarls and shows his
teeth through this editorial he at once I'M
Willingly reveals his genea!ogy and meas
ures the distance from his anthropoid an
cestors. As to the article containing moth
ing new. tie writer desires to say that it
was not necessary for the purpose that IL
should. 1.-THE application is original, that
Is enough. Not only has it been advocated
but it has been approved by some If the
foremost edueationalists Of the day. 1t has
been ruled out always by those who thought
they saw in il danger to their religious
opinions.
Briefly, the step proposed WAS that natural
science in primary schools be taught
according TO the formulas of evolution, and
that particular phase OF evolution known
as Darwinism. Anybody who knows any
thing about il knows that the present
methods are inconsistent with the best
known facts OF science and contradictory to
reason and common sense. To say that to
teach science from a standpoint SO radically
different would be no reform, argues only
ignorance OF the question and is too fatty
absurd to merit contradiction.
Ii anything further were wanting to con-
vince us of what kind OF information the
critic has on this subject, all doubt
would be removed by his. own
statement to the effect that only few
wild-eyed enthusiasts accept the doctrine
Of evolution.
There was 4 time when only few wild
eyed enthusiasts accepted the doctrines Of
Jesus Christ, and when he himself exclaim-
ed ''The birds OF the air have nests and the
foxes have holes, but the son of man hath
not where to lay his head.' The great
doctrine of evolution meets with better
support as my critic will find when he shall
have lost his prejudice and become better
informed Till then be had better devote
his days aud nights to finding out what are
some of the opinions OF the scientific
world
For one who prides himself on being q
descendent Of the monkey it strikes us that
our friend forgets the respect due his an
cestors in so lightly coupling their generic
name with one who, in his estimation,
knows so little. The fact, admitted by all
scientists, SO far as we have any knowledge,
that Darwin not only failed, but that Ma
ture in all her records has failed to show
an instance of the organization OF even a
single species by natural selection, seems
to go for nothing with our correspondent.
TO either Of his communications we have
no further Commercially. EAGLE.l
