ed before the city clerk and the ap-,
plicant not having paid $40 publication
/ fee as required by the statutes. The;
motion was denied. The committee re-
fused to hear any evidence as to the
license being taken out by the Hamm
being posted in the saloon and
on the charge that the Provident
Trust company was on the bonds
of twenty-five other Saloonkeepers.
AS TO the objection that liquor
had been sold outside the room
where the license was granted the
committee decided that the waiter was
the agent of the person who ordered
the liquor and that as the place was a
hotel drinks could be served in any OF
the rooms.
c. N. Woodward being sworn said
that he had visited the saloon on the
evening Of April 10 and had seen liquor
sold after IL p. m. He also saw
policeman drinking at the bar after
the hour when, under the state law.
the saloon should have been closed. A
Mr.. Taylor who was with Woodward
cOrroborated the witness, but was not
certain as the police sergeant drinking
whisky. 1t looked like whisky Tes-
ttmony as to the saloon being open on
Sundays was ruled out by the COM
mittee. On the charge of allowing
minors in the saloon Mr. Hamm said
II 1T could be proved the application
would be withdrawn. A man who had
seen a little child about three years
Of age in the saloon was called and
testified. He did not know whether the
child was one of Tankenoff's or not
Another man testified that he had also
seen a small child in the saloon, and
at the same time noticed four men
playing cards at a table. Mr.. Doty
stated that David Morgan, who was
the witness who could testify as to
cards and dice being played, was not
present. Mr.. Doty and the members
of the committee had a short season
of repartee and then Tankenoff testi-
fled that his children were not allowed
in the saloon, but sometimes came in
! to tell him that his wife wanted him
or to call him to his meals. This ended
/ the farce and the committee decided
to recommend that the application be
granted, Aid. DonahOwer and SAN
| born voting aye and Aid. Allard no.
! The committee took up the dog or
! dinance and recommended that the
one passed by the assembly be favor
ably reported.
AS heretofore referred to by himself,
d. w. Doty came before Judge Kelly
at chambers yesterday afternoon, and
presented petition for an order to
show cause why a writ of mandamus
should not sue compelling the commC n
council to hear evidence showing that
Mrs. j. Tankenoff is not a fit person to
conduct the saloon at Eighth and
Robert streets. The refusal of the as
isSembly to hear the DIRECTORS was the
cause of this move.
Judge Kelly signed the order and
made it returnable before him at
p. m. today.

CAUSE OF TEMPERANCE.
Father Mathew Society Celebrates
Anniversary.


The entertainment at Cretin hall last
evening, in the interests of the Father
Mathew Total Abstinence society, was
attended by an appreciative audience,
which enjoyed an excellent musical
programme and listened to several in
teresting addresses upon temperance
work. Archbishop Ireland was to have
addressed the assemblage, but was I'M
aVoidably prevented from being pres
ent. Bishop COtter, Of Winona, who was
also one of the speakers on the pro-
gramme, was detained by a railroad ao-
cident, and Judge Kelly also found it
impossible to deliver an arranged adj
dress.
AS chairman of the evening Rev. j.
j. LAWYER welcomed the friends Of the
Father Mathew society, and spoke in
commentator of the progress made by
the society since being installed in it's
new quarters at Cretin hall, to raise
funds for furnishing which the enter
tainment was arranged. Each member
of the society, Father Lawler said, was
a--Zealous advocate of the principles
represented by the organization, whose
practical benefits to the individual and
the community in its championship of
the cause of temperance could not be
OvereStimated.
The initial musical number was a
piano selection by Mrs. F. L. Hoffman,
performed in manner to call forth ap-
plause and a hearty encore. bass
solo by John F. Gehan pleased the au-
dience next, when the selections by a
Quartette, composed of Mrs. 8. V. Har-
ris, Miss Nellie Pottgieser, A. P. Cues
mel and G. F. Gehan, proved one Of the
musical features of the evening.
Thomas J. McDermott delivered a
brief address upon the work of the
Father Mathew society, emphasizing
the necessity for activity in temperance
work and the benefits Of total absti-
hence to young men, as we'll as to those
of older experience. The time was not
far distant, the speaker thought when
total abstinence would be one of the re-
quirements of all great men, both In
political and business life. This was a
condition of affairs to be hoped for and
would do away with much suffering
and raise the morality of the people,
Following a cOntraltO solo by Miss
Nellie Pottgieser, T. D. O'Brien spoke
reminiscently of the Father Mathew So
ciety and Of those identified with its
organization and development MIR.
O'Brien related much Of interest to the
present members of the society and told
number of amusing stories of the
early days when those who have now
left the active work in the cause of
! temperance to younger members. were
jealous in the welfare of the organiza-
ton. A soprano solo by Mrs S. V.
Quesnel concluded the entertainment

HELD TO THE FARM
Which Mrs. Wagner Thinks Neces-
setates n Divorce

Catharine Wagner, aged forty years,
has begun an action for divorce against
John P. Wagner. The plaintiff alleges
cruel and inhuman treatment as the
ground The defendant is thirty-six
years of age. The couple were married
Feb. 6, 1896, and lived together on
farm of 246 acres in Scott county The
farm, so the complaint alleges, belongs
to the plaintiff. She further alleges
that her husband wanted her to trans
fer her title to all the property to him.
in return for an insurance policy on
his life, but she refused to comply with
his request. Thereupon, so the COM
plant continues, her husband began
to treat her in a cruel manner, calling
her vile names, threatening to extermi-
nate her, and firing off a revolver in
their door yard. These performances,
she says, followed her husbands re-
turn from Shakopee, which town he
frequently visited. On Oct % last, Mrs.
Wagner became so alarmed that she
fed from her home. She not only
wants a divorce, but asks the right to
resume her maiden name of Catharine
Fisher.

There is one evil to which mankind is
addicted that no amount of adverse ex-

THE FIGHT IN WASHINGTON.
Resolutions Regulating These Who
Worked Against Bryan.

Whereas, it is believed by us. and we
believe by the majority Of Democrats of
Washington county, that the present or.
panization of the Democratic party IL not
friendly to it's interests, but on the con-
trary that its influence and sympathy
have been and still are with the Republi-
can party;
And whereas, we believe the present
organization, in their action In calling
committees and primaries at the neon
venient times and places, is designed to
muzzle and suppress free expression by
the Democrats of the county;
And whereas, we believe that q large
majority of the Democrats of this county,
desire, and that the present and future
interests Of the party demand, that the
county committee be organized, and the
machinery of the party be placed in the
hands of its friends.
Therefore, We, tho undersigned, mem
bers of the county committee who dissent
from the course of the present oruaniza-
ton, do call upon all Democrats of Wash
'ngton county who pledge themselves to
support the Democratic State ticket this
fall, and who did not vote for or support
Mckinley or Walker last fall, to assem-
BILE in mass meeting at the courthouse Of
said county on July &c, 1897, court day
at 2 o'clock p. NJ, for the purposes fol.
lowing:
1st. To reorganize the party by elect
ing two county committeeman from each
magisterial district.
I'd. To elect delegates to the guberna-
torial convention which assemblies at
Roanoke on August 18th, 1897.
3D.. To elect delegates TO convention
to nominate two delegates to the next
Virginia legislature.
4th. To elect delegates to convention
to be held for the purpose of nom
mating State senator for this senatorial
district. r. B. PRESTON,

w. B. ROBERTSON,

CHAS. A. WHITEACRE,

J. B. HAMIL TON,

The immediate reason for the abo re
call is to be found in the action of the So
called Democratic county committee on
the Both inst in admitting, by proxy, to
the deliberatton of the committee, a mem.
Der who openly and ostentatiously
worked, voted and exerted his whole in
fluence against the Democratic nominees
last fall, Bryan and Williams; and, on
account of that action, the Democratic
clubs of Glade Spring AID Meadow View
passed resolutions repudiating him as
committeeman for that district.
