Kentucky Irish American. (Louisville, Ky.) 1898-1968, 1898-09-17

Too much praise can not be bestowed
upon the following young ladies, who so
pleasingly presided over the refreshment
booth. They formed strikingly hand
some group and proved de-
cided attraction: Misses Lily Kirley,
Mary Glenn. Julia McDonough,
Agnes McDonough, Mary Higgins,
Lizzie Mccormick, Mamie Holland, Nellie
Holland and Mrs. A. J.. Norton, chape-
rome. The dining table was in charge of
Mesdames Mary Curran, M. Burgy, James
Tighe, James McNamee, 7. w. Tarpey,
Cronan, Walker and Misses Mamie Can
non and Mary Mcdonald, and their
patrons we're treated to an unexcelled
dinner. The "fish-pond" was conducted
by Misses Mary Belle Cronan, Annie and
Katie Vaughn, Lizzie Tarpey, Lily
Shaughnessy and Barbara Ballman, and
they caught everything that came in its
vicinity.
The Sacred Heart congregation-pastor
and people--are deeply thankful to all
patrons, especially to Mr.. L. Simons,
who gave the park free, with many other
favors.
The entire proceeds-$l, 000-will be
devoted to paying off the debt contracted
on account of the awful destruction
caused by the cyclone of 1890.

SACRED HEART PICNIC.
Success of the Year Scored
Handsome Sum of Money
Realized.

The Sacred Heart picnic given last
Monday was an immense success. 1t
would be difficult and invidious to men
ton all who contributed to make the pic
mic the splendid one that it was; but it
would be almost treason to consign to
silence the names of those who signally
distinguished themselves-Miss Lily Kir-
ley and her many beautiful assistants
at the refreshment table, and, above all,
Mrs Mary Curran and the band of noble
matrons who helped her at the dinner
table. The officers, John P. Toner, Presi-
dent; Walter Hensley, Secretary; T. d.
Claire, Treasurer, were faultless in their
management, which made the picnic the
most enjoyable and decided success of
the whole season.
Mrs. Mary Curran, the heroine of 100
picnic battles, won the prize-a handsome
gold watch, donated by Father Walsh;
and Miss Annie Curran carried off the
pretty amethyst ring, also given by
Father Walsh as second prize.

the municipal bodies will be elected.
The cities and towns will thus be the
first to experience the operation of the
act, the first elections in the counties not
taking place till March 25 next. In
the case of towns which are not urban
districts, the provision enables the local
government board to constitute any town
having populationof over 800 into an
urban district, provision which, if
widely applied, can not fail to have an
enormous effect for the betterment of
town government in Ireland.

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS.

For some time past a number of prom
inent gentlemen have been interesting
themselves in the organization in this
city of branch of the Knights of Column
bus, fraternal order that is very strong
and popular in the East and is now max
ing great progress in the West. With
this object in view meeting was held
at the Louisville Hotel last Wednesday.
Mr.. Matt J. VIM was elected to preside
and James ]. Hines was made Secretary.
After the transaction of considerable bus
mess it was decided to hold another
meeting at the Louisville Hotel Wednes-
day night, when permanent organiza-
ton will be effected. Mr.. Winn would
make an excellent President.

The visitors were in good shape and were

made four runs in the first inning and
one in the second, while Charleston was
fumbling and playing without much snap.
Before the fourth inning Savannah
would have been picked for an easy win

tom fell out of everything from the stand
point of the Georgians. With two men on
bases Jones knocked a home run, and af-

ly justified In the first inning he gave
them the benefit of a very close decision
that netted them three runs. Score:

Atlanta, Ca, April 1s.-While working

this morning, L. N. Brewer, a white iron,
worker, fell through the elevator shaft,
eight stories to the ground.
Brewer was taken to the Grady Hospi-
tai, and on examination ii was found that
one Of his thighs had sustained a bad
fracture. That he escaped instant death
is little short of miraculous.

GUS internal injuries.

shock sustained from his dizzy fall
He was standing on a plank supported
on the steel girders. The plank slipped,
Brewer lost his footing and plunged down
the shaft above which he was working.
1t is believed that he struck several planks
in his downward plunge, as several cuts
were found on his body.
