Royalty Banqueted by Prominent
Citizens Of That Nationality.
A notable and distinguished gather
ing was that which assembled last even
ing in the banqueting hall of the Mer-
chants. Several weeks ago that prince
of good fellows, Hon. Albert Schetfer,
conceived the idea of the German-Amer-
lean citizens of st. Paul entertaining at
a banquet the GermanAmerican MEM
bers of the legislature. The PROPOSE
ton was heartily Endorsed by the most
prominent citizens of the Capital city,
and a committee was formed to carry it
out. The composition of this commit
tee was made up as follows:
William Hamm, M. F. Propping, Otto K.
Sauer, Daniel Aberle, George Benz, Joseph
Bobleter, M. Auerbach, William Bickel, Otto
Kueffner, G. Heinemann, George Refs, T: j..
Giesen. Robert Seeger, T. L. Schumacher.
Gerhard Willrich, NJ. Frankel, DR.. G. Stamm,
Albert Schetfer.
A banquet was decided upon and last
evening" at the Merchants hotel the date
fixed upon which it was to be given. The
German-AmeTiean members of the legIs-
lature thus honored are:
Senators Fred Borchert. Henry Burck
hardt, George Geisel. Hermann A. Crate,
Chris Guderain, Henry Keller, j. A. Kiester,

A spIjnkling of other prominent citizens of

Messrs. S. Hill, Judge Cory, City Attorney
Holman, Judge Twohy, Hon. j. Il. Ives.
Rabi Hess Hon. Theodore Sanders and Hon.
W. F. Bickel. Hon. Daniel Bandmann, the
world famed tragedian, graced the proceed
ings with his presence.
The banquet was a great success. The
menu was choice and served ia a manner
worthy of the high prestige of the Merchants.
Short speeches were afterwards made by the
entertainers and guests.
Hon. Gerhard WiIrich, as chairman of the
committee, presided. and delivered a very
sensible and Interesting address. His re-
marks were confined TO the paramount duty
of all iberty-loving Germans in maintaining
that freedom which had been handed down
as the heritage of the American people.
Though American citizens, as Germans he
expected them to stand by the German
spirit, the German heart, and the German
love of honesty. His remarks were received
with reiterated applause.
Hon. Albert Schetfer acted as POSTMASTER,
and in the German tongue delivered several
very eloquent and pertinent addresses
Senator Probstfeld responded on behalf OF
the senate, and Hon. j. H. Capser on behalf
of the house.
Dr.. Stamm. of ST. Paul, and Hon. Daniel
Bandmann, of Montana, also spoke.
A most enjoyable evening, full Of mirth,
eloquent speech and general good-fellowship
was enjoyed by all, and at late hour the pro-
ceedings broke up amid hearty cheers for the

He Would as Lief Hang as Not
No Malta in 1t.
SAVING Radino, the murderer of Binda
Paolo, was arraigned in the municipal
court yesterday. He waived prelim-
mary examination and was held to the
grand jury without bail. Radino's
reckless character is apparent in his
actions since the murder. He doesn't
seem to care whether he hangs or not,
and the matter of making a plausible
defense is totally ignored by him. Since
his arrest he has attempted to kill him
self by choking, and if he could get a
weapon in his hands he would commit
saicide. He is almost total stranger
in the city, having come here f1om the
South but recently. He is absolutely
triendless and without money. If ever
a person stood a good chance of being
hing in this city that person is SAVING
Radino.
A senseless and sensational effort has
been made to connect Radino with the
Malta, but there is absolutely no toanda-
ton for the story, which is laughed at
by every intelligent Italian in the city.
The murder Of Paolo was the result of
drunken carousal. and entirely with
out political features.

ANTE-LENTON SOCIAL.

The German club ball at Westmoreland hall
last night was the browning event of the
many brilliant ones given by the club during
the present season. 1t YVES the final ball
prior to the abstinence from ballroom frivoli-
ties which the season of Lent imposes, and
the attendance was the largest ever seen in
the hall. The decorations had been left in
competent hands, and the draping of the
walls and floral designing were alike very
tasteful The management was as perfect as
experienced committees knew how to make
it, and the event was pronounced by all par
Elephants glorious success.
+ +
The National Culinary association ball at
Turner hall last evening was a very pretty
affair, the attendance being even larger than
was anticipated. The hall was filled by 0
o'clock, and late couples kept arriving until
the supper hour. The programme was an at
tractive one, and the dancers enjoyed them
selves very thoroughly. 1t was almost day
light before the last extra had been con-
Guided.
The ball given last evening by Gettysburg
post, G. A. r., at Paul Martins hail. was one
of the most enjoyable events of the kind of
recent date. The new hall has the most at
tractive floor in the city at present. and the
number in attendance there-Iast night was
sufficient evidence that the advantages are
appreciated. The music was very good and
the affair was enjoyable in every way.

Miss Blanche Butcher, of st. Paul, and
Robert S. Doubleday, of the ST. Paul Dis
patch. were married yesterday afternoon at
the apartments of the brides parents in the
Hotel Barteau. Mr.. Doubleday is very well
known in newspaper circles, and Miss Butch
er is a favorite in society. The young couple
left for New York last evening, and will re-
turn to st. Paul after an absence of three
weeks in the East.

Miss Tibbie Richtie, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. P. F. Richtie, and P A. Rockwell, of
the Eastern Minnesota railway, were mar
ried yesterday afternoon at the home of the
brides parents on Pleasant avenue, by Rev.
Charles D. Andrews, of Christ church. A re-
ception followed the ceremony, at which a
very large gathering of the friends of the
young couple assembled to bid them bon
voyage. They left for the East last night
and will be absent several weeks.

Two Very Revolving Cases for

The Loyal Legion held regular ses-
sion in the ordinary at the Hotel Ryan
last night. After the customary ban
quet Capt. James Starkey entertained
those present with paper entitled.
''Indian Depredations in Minnesota"
Capt. Starkey took up his story at the
year 1857 with the organization OF a
militia company known as the st. Paul
Light cavalry.
He related the difficulties experienced by
the company III securing arms and equip
ments they having been furnished by the
government with only one holster pistol and
one old fashion army sabre each. With this
meagre equipment they were ordered al
most before they had fully organized, to pro-
coed to the Rum River country to protect
the scattered settlers against the depreda-
ton of rowing bands of marauding Chippewa
Indians He then detailed the occurrences
and incidents of what has since
been known as the sun Rise expedition, tell
ing of the discovery of a band of twelve In
dams; of the attempts OF the troops to per-
suade them to return peaceably to st. Paul.
and of the atrociouS murder. by one OF the
Indians, of Private Donnelly. Then fol
lowed thrilling description OF the general
fight that took place between the militia
and the Indians in consequence OF the
killing of Private Donnelly in which
the troops were finally victorious, without
the loss of another man. He concluded his
narrative of the sun Rise expedition with an
account of the return to st. Paul and the dis
charge from custody under habeas corpus
proceedings of all the Indians excepting
Shah-go-ba, who was held for the murder OF
Private Donnelly, but subsequently escaped
from jail. In the same interesting manner
Capt. Starkey related the troubles which took
| place between the white settlers and the In
dams from that time until 1863 His paper
| was enthusiastically received by those pres
emit among whom were:
