ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND.
That Number of X. P.,s Expected
in minneapolis in Ninety-Six


meeting was held at the Com
mercial club yesterday by a commit
tee of prominent gentlemen having in
charge the arrangements for the
nineteenth biennial convention of the
supreme lodge of the Knights of
Pythias in this city in 1896
The transportation committee, which
includes F. H. Peavy, chairman C. A.
Pillsbury, o. B. Clark, J. S. Bell, H.
j. Burton. B. T. Nelson and F. E.
Wheaton, will endeavor to secure a
rate of one cent a mile from all parts
of the United States to Minneapolis
The gentlemen believe that the reali-
cation of this plan will secure an at
tendance of not less than 100000 visit
ors to the convention.
There seems to be little doubt that
the convention will attract an enor-
nous crowd to Minneapolis, the most
conservative of the knights placing the
number above $4,000, of whom $4,000
will be in uniform. The knights will
camp out during their sojourn here,
and it is estimated that fully fifty
acres of ground will be occupied by
/ their camping equipment, which will
contain upwards of 1000 tents.
The sum to be raised by the COM
mittee for necessary expenses will not
exceed $4,000, of which amount s1,5O0
will be given in prizes for drill dis
plays.
Delegates will be present from every
state in the Union and from Canada,
British Columbia, New Brunswick,
the Sandwich Islands and Mexico.

FANATICS OF WORST KIND.

Neighbors.

Strange Letter From Mnason
His Funny Idea Of
~ himself.

One of the strangest characters In
the whole wide country-a man
whose religious fanaticism has long
troubled the community about Park
Ridge, N. J.-has just packed UP his
few traps and fed to Scranton, Pa,
with the intention of seeking new
fields for the planting of his weird
Biblical beliefs.
The man is known as Huntsman
Mnason. He calls himself the Saw
Tor. and claims that the Lord speaks
through him and that whatever he
SAYS is the voice of the Gospel. At
the place in New Jersey where he
has lived for the past five years he
had six converts, four women and
two men. Three Of the women were
old and the fourth was a young girl,
attractive and pretty. One of the
men was known as John the Bap-
tist," and the other was called "Silas
the Pure" Mnason was the chief of
the band, and he lorded it over the
others with a power as absolute as
if he really were what he claims to
be.
The people in the surrounding
country always spoke of them as
1.-THE Angel Dancers" and urpleas-
ant stories were told of Mnason' S
queer influence over the women
Time after time efforts were made
to drive them out of the neighbor-
hood, but without success. Mnason
is a very shrewd man, and when
the law was evoked he was generally
able to wriggle himself free by the
exercise of some legal technicality
Except for his shrewdness it might
have been possible to have him con-
fined on the insanity plea, but the
people who disliked him the most
acknowledged that he was an I'M
usually clever man.
CALLED IT HAPPY VALLEY.
The strange people lived on what
was known as the Storms farm,
about three miles from Park Ridge,
a; suburb less than twenty miles
from New York. The farm is in
sparsely-settled region, and it's iso-
lat3on was one of the causes of the
prolonged stay of the obnoxious sect
in that neighborhood. AS it was,
frequent threats Were made of tar
and feathers for the members of the
babd, but Mnason only laughed
them to scorn. Mnason called the
farm Happy Valley" The neigh
bors called it ''Hell's Hole

Again the Side Middle.

The endless complications growing
out Of the Side assignment were par
AIDED before Judge Pond yesterday.
when an application for receiver for
the Side block was made. The suit on
which the motion was made was
brought by Arthur G. Noyes, assignee
of Henry G. Side, asking to have a
100000 mortgage set aside. which, it
was alleged, was made previous to the
making of. the assignment, and at a.
time when the Minneapolis Trust COM
pany was aware of Sides insolvency.
Mr.. Noyes was represented by A. M.
Harrison and the defendants by ]. w.
Lawrence. The motion to appoint a
receiver was taken under advisement
by Judge Pond.

Getting Ready for the Dam

Maj. Duchane, the United States civil
engineer, who will have charge of the
construction of the Meeker island DAM
called upon Mayor Pratt yesterday in
quest of information as to the owner
ship of land bordering the site of the
proposed lock and dam. He was re-
ferred to City Assessor Plummer, from
whom he obtained the desired infor-
nation.
Maj. Duchane says that the work
will be commenced as early as posi-
BILE and prosecuted with great vigor.
The government has already appropri-
ated $3.50, 600 for the work. and this sum
will be exhausted in a short time. 1t
is estimated that the Improvement
when completed will cost over $4,000

MAD. AMEs NOW.
The Minneapolis Captain Success
full This Time. -

The commissioned officers of the First
regiment met yesterday afternoon in
the Minneapolis armory to elect
major. The new military bill provides
for an additional major in each regi-
ment, and called for the electious
Capt. Fred w. Ames, of Company a
Minneapolis, was elected, receiving fs
votes to Is for Capt. w. B. Tomlin-
son, of Company I. These were the
only candidates. The informal ballot
gave Capt. Tomlinson Is votes to IA for
Ames, but 2 of ToInlinson's supporters
switched over on the deciding ballot,
and changed what seemed to be "a
sure thing to hope deferred. General
satisfaction was expressed over the re-
suit.
Capt. AmeS has been connected with
the guard continuously for the past
twelve years, four years of the time
as captain. He is exceedingly pop
ular with his company, as well as with
his brother officers He has twice be-
fore been a candidate for the same
rank, once being defeated by Capt.
Bronson, of st. Paul, now lieutenant
colonel, and the second time by Capt.
Price, who is now his colleague as
major in the First regiment.

ASTRANGE LETTER.

Mnason's Idea of himselfis ad-
mirably shown in the following let
ter, which he sent to Presiding
Judge James NJ. Van Allen the day
he left for Scranton. Judge Van
Allen was the official who ser fenced
him to the year in prison. This is
the letter:
After taking my departure from
thee, at thy Office, the spirit of God.
the Lord of Hosts, the Holy One of
Israel. in still voice, spake unto me
as 1 went on my way down the street
to take the train to New York and
thence to Scranton, Pa. The still,
small voice of the God of Israel spake
unto me, saying:
Thou son of man, write unto Van
Allen, the judge and ruler of Israel, my
word. saying it is written whatsoever
thou has met unto others shall be met
unto thee
Moreover. the word of the Lord
came unto me. saying:
:" AS thou, o ruler, met unto those
my servants in the court of injustice,
and intended to stop the cause of the
Almighty and most high God, so will
stop thy course, in the world of thy
natural life, and thou shalt be re-
moved
Moreover, the word of the Lord God
Almighty came unto me, saying: Thus
saith the Lord God Almighty unto the
ruler in the midst of Israel, an angel
of the Lord God, the most high that
ruleth in the kingdom of men. will
smite thee because thou wouldst not
give God the glory, and the worms will
eat thy flesh and thou shalt give up
thy spirit
Thus saith the Lord God of Israel.
the most high unto thee. For the
mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.

THE NORTHERN TROUBLE.

The trouble which was recently

ullst press MI deny that any overt act
was contemplated by the union men.

unlawful act. while the republican pa
prrs are all positive that the prompt nc
tion Of Governer Mcconnell In mastering
troops and calling on the militia to hold
themselves 10 readiness for service was
