KILLED AT DENNIsON.
Philip McTaggart, an ex-PatrOIman,
Loses His Life,

There was touching and sad scene
at the undertaking rooms of Hurley
Brothers on South Wabasha street yes
terday morning. The body Of Phillip
Is. McTaggert, a brakeman on the
Great Western road, lay in coffin and
beside it stood his heart-broken wife
and three small children. McTaggert,
who has been employed on the road
for the past four months as brakeman
on a freight, was instantly killed at
Dennison, Mimi, early Saturday morn
Ing. He was engaged in making what
Is known among railroad men as a
flying switch, and had just cut off the
car when in some manner he lost his
footing and fell under the wheels
The car passed over his head and
upper part of the body, killing him in
stantly and terribly mutilating the re-
mains. The body was brought to st.
Paul yesterday and the funeral will
take place this morning from ST. Mich
aePs church at o'clock, interment fol-
lowing at Calvary cemetery. e1iat
McTaggert was thirty-one years old
and leaves a wife and three children,
the eldest six years and the youngest
eighteen months. He had been rail-
reading for a number Of years, work
ing on the Northern Pacific and Omaha
roads. Some two years ago he was APP
pointed to the police force and after
serving some eighteen months resigned.
He leaves his wife and family without
means. Up to the time he began work
for the Great Western road he carried
insurance in the Woodmen, but owing
to a mistaken idea that he could not
hold a policy and work on a railroad,
he allowed his insurance to lapse

INTO A PARADISE
Can Arizona Be Turned by Means of
Irrigation.


To the Editor of the Globe.
Permit me to state in your columns few
lines concerning the fifth national irrigation
congress, which is to convene at Phoenix.
Ariz., Dec. Is, 1e, IT, 1885, This congress
Will undoubtedly be one of the most inter-
esting congresses yet held. The subject of
irrigation is an important one 1t not only
means the development of the arid region
into productive farms; but also furnishing
homes to thousands of people who are with
out one.
The congress will meet in discussion at the
above date upon methods of developing the
sun-kssed" lands of the West into profit
and usefulness, and to determine means
whereby the United States congress may be
better enabled to understand the situation
of the desires and needs of the people in
those regions.
Any one familiar with the workings of
irrigation systems and the immense pro-
duction of the soil by irrigation cannot bat
be in sympathy with the movement to re-
claim the desert lands. When once water is
no more fruitful soil exists within the United
States.
Many old countries Of the world have
produced by irrigation, in rude form, per-
haps, the sustenance of their people for CEN
turtles. If I am not mistaken, the greater
percentage of the worlds products is thus
produced by irrigation. The congress which
will soon convene will do effective work
along the lines of developing a section of the
United States hitherto idle and unprof1ta-
rich fruitage as reward to the industrious
husbandman. 1t will be profitable invest
ment for those who able to bear the
expense to attend the congress at Phoenix
Ariz., and get glimpse Of vast country
with could be turned into a paradise tenn

FATHER MATHEW ANNIVERSARY
Was Observed by the Crusaders' Alb
stinence Society.


The deep reverence and high honor
In which the memory of Father Math-
ew, the great apostle Of temperance
of the present century, is held by his
followers Of today was attested by
exercises concentrating the one hun
dred and sixth anniversary Of his birth,
held under the auspices of the CRU
saders' Total Abstinence society at
Cretin hall yesterday afternoon. The
hall was well filled with members of
the different Catholic temperance So
cieties and their friends who listened
to addresses on the life and works of
Father Mathew, by Judge William
Louis Kelly and Rev. Father LAWYER.
A choice musical programme appro-
pirate to the occasion was also rem
dered
j. F. Mcguire, as chairman Of the
meeting, introduced Judge Kelly as the
first speaker. Judge Kelly said In part:
when we gaze on a great work of
art we are told that It is the produc-
ton Of some one who received his in
StructiOn from the great masters.
That is intended to call attention to
the excellence Of the work In the
same manner we look upon the work
of Father Mathew and know that he,
too, received his inspiration from the
greatest Master. God and universal
nature were his teachers, and, going
the pledge as the first total abstainer
in Ireland. Where lay his great
power? He had no eloquence; no po-
tent friends; yet he wrought revolu-
ton among his countrymen. Where
was the secret of his marvellous sue
cess? He had a sublime faith in God
and the courage of his convictions, a.
combination Of qualities of such po-
tency that success must necessarily
attend his efforts in the reform which
he undertook. It was his earnest cour-
age, his untiring zeal in a righteous
cause which gave him the victory.
This is the secret Of all success, and q
| nobler example and one more worthy
of emulation than that offered by the
life Of Father Mathew cannot be found
for the young man Of today.
I'm facing this drink question with
which we are today battling as did
Father Mathew years ago, how few
do we find with the courage Of their
convictions. If you desire to achieve
success, young men, be manly. II you
are a total abstainer do not fear to
make your principles known. Carry
your manhood before you and those
who would jeer and taunt you will In
the end respect you the more for stand
ing by your colors."
Father Lawler told briefly the life
Of Father Mathew and dwelt particu-
larry upon the self denial which had
characterized the early exponent of
temperance as a virtue which the peo-
pie Of today would do well to practice.
The musical portion of the pro-
gramme consisted Of a piano solo by
Miss Gertrude San Souci; vocal solo
by Miss Anna Collins, who sang the
Ave Maria" from "Cavalleria Rusti-
cana" responding. to an encore with the
vale Of Avoca." Miss Monica San
Souci rendered violin solo, and Frank
Hoffman sang a baritone solo, accom-
panied by Miss Katherine Collins.

pears that there are a number Of other
firms and persons who have also been
temporarily, at least, done out CT
money and goods by the two gentle
men. Adler and Lee, for some months,
ran the st. Paul art studio, at 101 West
Seventh street. Adler was the artist
and Lee was the manager of the bust
ness. Both members Of the firm had
accounts at the Ailemania bank and
did business with checks. Business
evidently has not been as good as 1t
might have been at the ''art studio"
and last Wednesday the artist and bus
mess manager concluded to leave the
city. Before going they drew a num-
Der of checks, the number being esti-
mated all the way from ten up. and
scattered them about among their
friends and business acquaintance. In
a number of cases the members of the
firm secured goods for the checks. and
at the other places they received the
coin which the checks called for. giving
the explanation that it was after bank
ing hours and the money was needed
Immediately. None of the checks given
out by Lee and Adler was for more
than $15, but the aggregate amount is
reported in the neighborhood of $500.
