CONSCIOUSLY ABSENT.
John S. Davies Seems to Have
Left the Town Mysteriously.

John S. Davies Seems to Have
Left the Town Mysteriously.
John S. Davies, a young man of
pleasing address, who moved in good
society, and is quite well known about
thescity, is said to have turned up miss
ing, and circumstances indicate
that his absence was contem-
plated, and arranged with the in
tent to leave numerous creditors
in the lurch. For the past three years
he has been in the employ of Wood
ward & Co., in the corn exchange,
whom he has represented both on the
road and on the floor of the chamber of
commerce. A week ago he left his
firm, and engaged to go to work for
Woodford & Holbrook, another firm of
commission merchants. Last Sunday
he was fitted out with mileage
and money for the expenses of
trip through the country, solicit
ing consignments from shippers. Mon
day, the day following, he wrote Wood
ford & Holbrook from Window. and
him. The next day two drafts for $50
each he had drawn upon the firm
through country banks were presented
for payment. AS they were not author
lied they were not paid, of course,
and as Dayits was supplied
with all the money he was
likely to need within two weeks
the presumption is that he has been do
ing up the banks and does not intend to
return. Inquiry at the Clinton house,
on Fourth avenue south, near the High
school. where he had boarded, reveals
the fact that he had packed his trunk,
as if for an extended journey, and. as
numerous bills of recent contraction
have turned up 1t looks very much as if
the young man has gone to some other
state to spend the winter. 1t is also ru-
mored that there is woman in the case,
who is also conspicuous by her absence
from the particular circle of society she
adorned, but this part of the affair
could not be confirmed yesterday. If
Mr.. Davies, however, has not left the
town for ''keeps," he has certainly acted
in very suspicious, not to say repre-
henSible, manner.

THE PARK BOARD
Holds a Meeting and Transacts
Regular Business.


In the absence of President Loring.
Vice President Haugen presided at the
meeting of the park board yesterday.
A communication was received from
Ezra Farnsworth Jr., calling attention
to the. fact that there are now two
Prospect parks in Minneapolis, and sug-
costing that the name of the one in
North Minneapolis be changed to NicOl-
let, Hennepin, Washington or Lincoln.
The communication was referred to the
special committee on naming parks.
Upon the recommendation of the
committee on designation of grounds
the matter of accepting the
grounds set aside for park purposes in
Park addition to Minneapolis was re-
ferred to the attorney and superinten-
dent of the board for investigation. The
for the purchase of the Dean d. Iceland
tracts, between Lake Calhoun and Lake
Harriet. recommended the purchase of
fifteen acres of land owned by Joseph
Dean for $4,000, payable in ten equal
payments, without interest, the first
payment to be made on Aug. l, 1891.
They also recommended the purchase of
eight acres of the LELAND tract at cost
of $50, 900. The board adopted the re-
port of the committee, and the grounds
were designated for park purposes. The
annual report of Secretary Nye, which
has already been published, was adopt
ed. Bills to the amount of S479.72, and

AT THE SPECIAL TERM.
Gases Decided by Judges Smith,
Hicks and Hooker

hIChS anu F1OOAGFs
The special term calendar was rather
light yesterday. One of the first cases
to come up was the suit of Hattie Smith
for a divorce from Charles Smith. The
case was argued before Judge Hicks
and submitted.
Judge Smith denied the motion of G.
II. Hutchins for new trial of his dam
age suit against the Manitoba railroad.
Judge Hicks decided to allow the
claims of all the creditors of Hays &
Sterling except those of S. j. Morris,
which were thrown out.
Judge Hicks granted the petition of
S. II. NJ. Larson for a divorce from her
husband, Hans Larson.
The motion for new trial in the case
of Oscar Hanson against Peter Marks.
druggist, WAS denied by Judge Smith.
Hanson sued Marks for S25, 600 damag-
eS. alleging that he had been poisoned
by the putting up of a prescription with
the wrong ingredients. He secured a
verdict for 5000.
Judge Hooker heard the suits of RIB.
Langdon against Maria Gervais and also
against Francis B.Noyes, both being for
the setting aside of certain claims of
the defendants against real estate
owned by Langdon. Judge Hooker de-
clded that Langdon alone owns the
land

Freeman p. Lane Talks Fiercely

There were no further developments
in the Clough-Moore scandal, sensation,
or whatever term might be applied to
the conglomeration of social nastiness
that has been brought into public light
by the bringing of the damage suit for
$4,000 against Senator Clough.
Freeman P. Lane, attorney for SEN
ator Clough, yesterday outlined the
policy of the defense. 1--WE have nothing
to conceal in this matter" he said, "and
we propose to push it to the end. Sen
at0r ClOugh's defense win be double
header. We will not only prove that
the allegations set forth in the COM
plant are absolutely false. but we will
also prove damnable conspiracy be-
tween Moore and other parties to eXtort
money from my client. 1t is the
worst case of blackmail. pure
and simple, without the least foun-
dation in fact, that l ever heard
of. We are in earnest, and some
of the people engaged in the nefariOu s
scheme to blacken and besmirch
the private life of one of the most prom
inent citizens of Minneapolis will find
themselves behind prison bars before
we get through with them. We have
twentg days in which to file our answer,
but we expect to have all the papers in
the case ready some time during the
coming week. On the Sth of January
the custody of Moore's child will be
brought before the court. AS attorney
for Mrs. Moore, will place evidence
before the court which will conclusively
prove that this man Moore is not only
unfit to haue the custody of the child,
but unfit for the association of any one

But to return to the subject. The
seemingly necessary evil of having
oyerbearing ignoramuses mar the pleas
ures of such delightful occasions by
their sarcastic and idiotlc reprehensiop
and expression is to be deplored. But
the writer is inclined to believe that the
evil can be greatly remedied, if not en-
tirely done away with. There is a good
way and an effective one to deal with
these people. For instance. ii you
know solecist, intimately roast him to
his face. if only by name, or on short
acquaintance, drop him a well-punctu-
ated letter informing him that the pub
lie has adjudged him lunatic, and that
if he persists in continuing his indecor-
Gus ways, st. Peter will be afflicted.

MANNERS A LA MODE.
Etiquette for the Gay and Giddy-

Etiquette for the Gay and Giddy-
A Notable Gathering.
There is a certain class of young men
and ladies in Minneapolis who are too
gay and giddy and a careful study of
the rules of etiquette will do them I'M
limited good. The society they repre-
sent is very swell, to let them tell 1t.
But men aud women who are seIf-re-
speeding and self-supporting, neither
rich nor poor, but are accustomed to the
niceties of life. regard these acephalists
with utter disgust. They make con-
spicuOus their ignorance and lack of
breeding in their blatancy and rude
manner of stunning civilities. They
display gorgeous costumes and valuable
jewels purchased with money made
by some one elSe's eXertiOns and
worse than all they exhibit an unbe-
coming arrogance. There is nothing
that speaks better for person than
well-trained manners; artificial man
nerS are easily detected. If you enter.
tain at home or visit abroad your atten-
ton and ciyilities are always noticed.
and an improperly, though uninten-
tlonal, often creates malignant and
perpetual feeling among friends. There

HIS LAST SUNDAY.

Thursday Next.
This will be Bishop James McGol-
rick's last Sunday in Minneapolis, and
this afternoon he will administer con-
frmation to about 200 children at 8
o'clock at the Church of the Immacu-
late Conception, this being his first adj
ministration of the sacrament since his
conservation. Bishop McGolrick will
go to Duluth to take up his residence
there on Thursday, and arrangements
are being made for a special train to
accommodate delegation of Catholics
from Duluth and Minneapolis friends
who desire to accompany him to his new
charge.
The question as to who is to succeed
Bishop MeGolrick at the Church of the
Immaculate Conception is still unset
tied. Father Burns, secretary to Arch
bishop Ireland. and Father Harrison. of
st. Paul, have been mentioned in con-
nection with the vacant pastorate, as
has Father Christie, of Waseca. 1t is

day and nothing to do. There is
little bit of gossip going the rounds on
this appointment that sounds very
much as if Capt. Tirrell. the good-nat-
ured clerk of the district court played a
full hand when Mcintyre got the Office.
Mcintyre was good man where he
was, and as he always got along well
with the captain, the latter ordinarily
would not be expected to get other
quarters for him without some good rea-
son. The captains friends, it is said.
became alarmed of his chances for a re-
nomination next fall, and fearing that
Mcintyre. who was becoming very pop
ular, would continue to make friends as
he has done during the past year, would
begin to think that he should be recug-
niZed as a candidate for the CAPTAINS
Office. decided to nip the idea in the
bud and so had him appointed at the
distillery. 1t is said that he did not
want the Office at first, but when it was
shown him that he cnuld spend two
thirds Of his time at home and draw his
salary Of S125 month just the same for
four years. he decided to take the office
and let Tirrell have another term. The
little game was well conceived and
equally as well engineered. The cap
tain outwitted the colonel. and if army
tactics go, deserves promotion, will he
get it? Let us see.
