! Timothy Horan, we'll known to the;
old settlers Of ST. Paul, died Tuesday
evening at his residence, 358 Rosabel
| street. Mr.. Horan has been in poor
health for some time, and his death was
not unexpected. He was rs years old,
and came to St. Paul in 1856. Since
| 1865 he has lived in the house on Rosa
bel street in which he died. He leaves
wife and one son, Thomas Horan, who
was formerly connected with the police
department.
Archbishop Grace, who has been i'll at
St. Joseph's hospital for several weeks,
suffering from an attack OF pneumonia,
| is still in precarious condition, No Inn
mediate fear is entertained, though he
does not rally from the effects of the dis
ease as rapidly as his friends would de-
sire. Two weeks ago the pneumonia
itself had been overcome by the ply
sicians attending the Archbishop, and it
was thought he would slowly regain his
normal health. The improvement in his
condition was so marked that he was at
times able to sit up and converse with
friends, but the shock to his enfeebled
vitality has been more severe than was
at first supposed, and he is now reported
much weaker.
The Hibernian band will give its first
social hop at Workmen Temple hall,

described as one OF the strongest plays
of the season, and has been favored with

Receiver Smiths Report.

The first annual report of receiver
John L. Smith. of the Hennepin County
Catholic Building and Loan Association,
| Was mailed to all members Of the AS
sociation during the past week. 1t was
as follows: ~ = .-
1.-THE first year of my receivership has
passed and considering the hard times
and the unsettled condition of the affairs
! of the Association when was appointed
I feel we'll satisfied with what has been
| accomplished as shown by the state
ment of receipts and disbursements here
| in given. I regret that have been un-
able to declare dividend to Free Stock
| holders during the year. AS an explain
alton, the plan of settlement provided
that borrowers could apply free stock
at 80 per cent of the amount paid there
| on towards the repayment of loans; free
stock has been sold below 80 per cent of
it's value and by purchasing the stock
at a less figure the borrowers were bene-
flied and while the receiver did not re-
ceive cash every certificate cancelled was
the wiping out Of liability and 20 per
| cent of stock so cancelled went into the
reserve fund for the benefit of those who
are obliged to wait.
| [ found the real estate in bad condi-
| ton, titles defective, and taxes delin-
quent and to protect the interest OF the
| members it was absolutely necessary to
clean up all back taxes and put build
| ings in repair so they could be rented Or
sold; this required considerable money
! and was compelled to borrow S1,700 in
| addition to receipts from rents, interest,
| etc.
All sales of real estate, with one Or
two exceptions, have been made for
| enough to cover list price including
! amount paid for taxes and repairs.
In all items of expenditure have been
careful to get the lowest figure, conse-
quently the expense account, including
legal services, has been very low, indeed.
During the year have been compelled
to foreclose eight mortgages, which if
not redeemed will add s11,5O0 to real
estate account I have also settled six
teen loans by deeds from borrowers thus
avoiding expense and delay Of foreclo-
sure.
| started out with the intention of
keeping out of the courts, knowing how
expensive law is, and so far l have not
had a single suit; all disputed points
have been satisfactorily adjusted with
the exception of one or two and if no
! reasonable settlement can be made in
these cases I will see that the interests
of the Association are protected as we'll
in court as out of it. My intention Is
to wind up the affairs Of the Association
in a manner satisfactory and fair to
both borrower and free stock holder and
ask for the good will and cooperation
of each member. am always ready to
give information, advice or assistance
to any member desiring such and am al
ways pleased to have members call that
I may give them personal attention.

of receipts and disbursements during
the past year. Those desiring complete

Uncle Ned.

Young readers, since my last writing
your old friend has been abroad. He
has taken in some very valuable lessons
for you as well as himself He has seen
the inside Of another great nutshell-we
will say all sorts of people-the high
and the low, the rich and the poor, the
proud and the humble, the manned and
the whole, the grave and the gay, from
the humble merchant down TO the hum
BILE lunch man, and he finds that happi-
ness does not always dwell within the
golden mediocrity. Care, anxiety and
ambition on the one hand, simply con-
tent on the other. These are opposite
terms, little friends, but happiness is
generally found in the nutshell. U. N.
might dwell on this subject, but let him
simply say that word to the wise is suf-
ficent.
Nothing important, l believe, has trans
pired in his absence. He found num-
Der of warm friends to greet him on his
return, and it made his old heart leap
as for joy to see the smiling faces of his
little friends. as he could hear them whis-
per, There's Uncle Ned back again"
He hears that new store viii spring up
near Wible's shop, Cedar Point, his hon
or, Judge Downs, proprietor. Mr.. ID.
hopes that Uncle Ned will bring all his
little boys and girls around occasionally
to see him. We are informed that the
weed known as the Golden Rod" is
supposed to be the trouble with the
horses. Perhaps IL there vas a little
Free Silver" mixed with it, il might in
\ some way modify or compromise so as
to make the epidemic less fatal.
Well, my little friend Etna, you make
Uncle Ned very happy to know that he
has gladdened one little heart among the
many, and he hopes that all the little
folks may be profited more or less by his
untiring zeal for their future welfare.
Bravo! little Goughie, you have done
well on the start, and we hope to hear
from YOU again. You have made one
step upon the ladder and U. N. hopes
some day to see you climb to the top
mast round. Great oaks are feiled by
one stroke at time, and the short mo-
ments that make up the hours soon count
up to days, weeks and years. Robert
Burns was plow boy, but his verses still
live after him, and will continue to live
on for the coming ages.
We want to hear some good, sound
Democratic speaking around here and
we think it is getting time for turn
out. UNCLE NED.

ST. GEoReE's ISLAND, Sept -. 1877.
| Mcssrs. Eiifors:-The following ad-
dress was delivered on st. Georges Is
land By Mr.. Charles L. Rcbrechf on the
injustice Of the Republican party In gen.
erai. Il Is a. follows:
Nv Friends and Fellow Democrats -
As We mediate upon the injustice with
which the people have been treated since
1895 we recognize the importance Of
supporting the Democratic ticket. Shalt
the honest people Of old Democratic
Maryland be represented BY party that
il pledged 10 tax Ike poor and exempt
the rich: Shall they be enslaved BY a
party that Is determined TO take from
them the most sacred of ali righfs-the
secrecy Of the ballot. VIII they be rob-
bed and cheated out Of their right Of
suffrage. viii they be defrauded of the
protection 10 their oyster beds that they
have had under Democratic government.
viii they as honest. liberty-losing citi-
zens and followers of Jefferson. meekly
stand the unmanly and cowardly insults
Of the present reassessment law.
IL the people are going to resent all
the insults that have been hesped upon
Them il Is the duty of every Democrat to
register. We must always bear in mind
that united Democracy is victorious De-
mocracy.
Therefore let us lay aside al factional
differences and support the whole coun-
~ and State ticket. Let US ON the end
Of November be able TO say with pride
that Maryland my Maryland is back in
the Democratic fold. Let not the Re-
publican wolves who go about preaching
reform deceive you. BY their fruits the
people shall know them
Two years of robbery and deceit has
taught the people the differences between
figs and thistles. Let Democracy roll
like tide and let the banner of jackson
and liberty be planted upon the State
capital. / would like to be as sure of
the success of the ticket in every district
in st. Mary's as / do of its success on
old st. Georges Island
We can point with pride to the fair
aEd just administration OF affairs by the
Democratic party. II has served the
people with honesty, dignity and patri-
otism for the long period of twenty
eight years, and not single spot or
blemish can truthfully be found upon
its history. And just TO think that with
in the short space of two years, that so
much dishonesty and fraud have been
wrought upon the people by the present
dominant party.
Therefore, my friends, vcte not for
men, but for measures. Remember that
the destiny Of the people of Maryland
rests in the manner in which we vote at
the coming election.
Let me entreat you to see that you
have your rights as American citizens.
The men who have been nominated on
the Democratic ticket are mea of conf
dence and respect. Men who have been
lifelong Democrats and supporters of
the Democratic ticket.
DEMOCRAT.
