Rcpor. OF National Convention.
The presiding officer announced that
through the courtesy of c. G. Boland
of Scranton, who was delegate from
the Scranton union to the last national
convention at st. Paul, Mimi, enough
of copies of the proceedings of the
national assemblage had been secured
to distribute among the delegates. A
delegate made motion to the effct
that an order be drawn on the union
treasury to reimburse Mr.. Boland for
the expense attendant upon the pur-
chase and shipment Of the copies, but
Mr.. Boland arose and refused the Offer
J. Washington Logue, Of Philadel-
phia, first vice president Of the national
union, sent a telegram conveying the
information that he would reach the
convention this morning. Messrs.
O'Toole, of Scranton. Carroll, of Car
bondale, and Mahon, Of Scranton, were
appointed to receive him.
Secretary Mack read the minutes of
the various meetings of the board of
government held during the year, and
then read his own report. 1t set forth
that there are 1880 adult male men,
bers representing Al societies; 2,S19
boys, representing 35 cadet societies;
and 165 members representing ladies'
societies, total of 1914 members in
the union.

figures: Balance in the exchequer on
May II, 1894, $S51.24; receipts for the
year, $143.55; expenditures, $729.90; bal
ance now in treasurer's hands, 1854 80.
Both reports were referred to the audit
ing committee.
President Devine'S annual address
was the next order of business. He
spoke off-hand and impromptu, and
withal he acquitted himself with
marked credit. After the usual open
ing remarks he impressed upon his
hearers one fact in relation to the
standing of the Scranton Diocesan
union. The speaker said he has
from Mauch Chunk to Forest
City among the temperance societies
embraced in that district and knows
that the movement Is proceeding along
successful lines. The union is stronger
than any other embodiment of societies
In the Scranton diocese.
A desired tribute WAS paid to Father
Melley for the good work ne has done
during the two years of his spiritual
Mr.. Devine concluded by
urging the delegates to follow the ad-
vice Of Father Melley and not separate
from religion.
That Old Trophy Troubles.
The matter Of the trophies that the
st. Aloysius siciety, Of Pittston, re-
fuse to give up, was taken up. A few
years ago the union purchased sets of
valued at $3.50, which were set
