MACKIN COUNCIL
Initiates Eight More Members
and Has jolly
Time.

Notwithstanding the universal interest
in the orphans bazaar, the municipal
campaign and other affairs which attract
the attention of young men, there was a
very gratifying attendance Tuesday night
at St. Anthony's Hall to witness the init
iation of new members into Mackin
Council, of whoid there should have been
seventeen. Only eight candidates were
able to be present, however, but they
were put through the degrees in man
ner that was instructive and pleasing.
President Dan Cunniff occupied the
chair, and after the transaction of routine
business and reports from the Visiting
and other committees had been received
Marshal Charles Raidy and his assistants
appeared with Messrs. AL Kolb, John A.
Alderman, Frank +. Burke, Hugh J.
Higgins, Charles ]. Walsh, Michael Nc.
Carthy, Frank Elvin, Jr., and Henry
Manger, all well known young men, to
whom was administered impressively the
obligation, after which recess was taken
for the purposes of introductions and
congratulations,
There was quite goodly number of
visitors present, New Albany Council
having the largest delegation, among
whom were noticed President Charles
Cheap, Treasurer Pete Pfeffer, Executive
Committeeman John Burke, Joe Trudeau,
Mic Roth and Charles Zellers. Satolli
was represented by President Patrick
O'Sullivan, who in a happy address an
nounced big initiation by his conncil
next Monday night and rendered cor
dial invitation to all present to be the
guests of Satolli on that occasion.
Emmett Slattery, the rising young at
torney, DIR. Beutel and Joseph zahner
were called upon for Trinity Council, and
the response of each was warmly APP
plauded. Tom Carney, the special repre-
sentative of the Ladies' Auxiliary, was
there also. and promised pleasant time
to all who would attend the coming
dances and euchres to be given under
their patronage.
The principal address of the evening
was delivered by Augustus Blot, whose
friends hope to see him a member of the
next Board of Councilman. After con-
graduating the members of Maxim on
adding to its roll the names of such worthy
men as were just initiated he proceeded
to speak upon the various beneficial feat
ures Of the Young Mems Institute and
for half an hour held his auditors SPELL
bound. Mr.. Blot is pleasing speaker,
much on the order of James ]. Fitzgerald,
and at the conclusion of his remarks,
which made decided impression on the
old as we'll as the new members. there
was great and long continued outburst
of applause.
The other nine candidates will be init
lated the latter part of this month, when
an open meeting will be held. During
the talks cigars were passed around, and
so interested and pleased were visitors
and members that it was near midnight
before adjournment took place.

Leading Members of COngrega-
ton Organize a Debt Pay
ing Association.
Hope to Clear Debt of 100000
in the Next Six or Seven
Years.
SPIRITUAL ADVANTAGES TO MEMBERS

There has recently been formed Debt
Association in St. Louis Bertrand's parish
for the purpose of paying off the out
standing principal and interest on the
imposing and beautiful Limerick church.
Every member of the congregation is
considered member of tie association,
each of whom will enter heartily into the
laudable undertaking. The parish has
been divided into about thirty districts
with collector for each, whose duty it
will be to call upon every family in his
district the first week of every month and
receive theii monthly contributions to-
ward paying off the debt now upon the
church. The names of the contributors
and the amount paid will be posted on
bulletin to be placed in the vestibule of
the church.
The debt now upon St. Louis Bertrand's
church amounts to about 10000, and it
is believed that by pushing this plan
vigorously it will be wiped out entirely
within the next six or seven years with
out burdening any one. The officers of
the ASSOCIATION, all well known and cap
able gentlemen and earnest workers, are
as follows:
President-John P. cassidy.
Vice Presidential O'Doherty.
Secretary--Will p. McDonogh.
treasurer. +. Wager
Rev. ]. d. Fowler, ex-officio member
of Executive Committee.
The collectors and members of Execu-
tive Committee are: Martin Callahan,

The spiritual advantages to be derived
by members Of the Church Debt Associa-
ton are:
First-They become benefactors of the
Order of St. Dominic, for whom. living
or dead, each priest of the order in the
whole world say thirty-three masses
yearly. Also four solemn requiem masses
are sung each year for the departed bene-
factors. Besides each convent says
seventy masses yearly for benefactors.
Moreover our convent says two special
masses for the members of this contra
ternity every week. The fruit of ali
these thousands and thousands Of masses
is applicable to the departed as well as to
the living.
second-Membess also participate in
all the good works Of the order-masses,

JHNNlNGS-FINEGAN.

The marriage of Peter Jennings and
Miss Margaret Finegan brought together
a large number of friends of the contract
ing parties Wednesday afternoon. The
ceremony was performed at st. Louis
Bertrand's church by the Rev. Father
Fowler. The bridesmaid was Miss Mag
gle Jennings, sister of the groom, and
Tom Finegan, brother of the bride,
was best man. A glowing touch of color
was given to the handsome gray gowns
of the bride and her maid by the big
boquets. of American Beauties which they
carried and the brilliant illumination OF
the church and altar. Following the cere-
mony the newly welded pair were
rendered wedding dinner and reception
at the residence of Mr.. and Mrs. Michael
Finegan, parents of the lovely bride.
Friends aud relatives numbering over
one hundred called and showered the
young couple with congratulations and
many valuable presents. Rev. Father
Fowler occupied prominent seat at the
wedding dinner and rendered happy
toast to the bride. The pair left Wednes-
day night for Memphis, where they will
make their home for the present, accom-
panied by the best wishes of their very
large circle of friends.

CATHOLIC KNIGHTS.
important Business For Gen.
trail Com mittee FRI
day Night.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Central Committee of the Catholic
Knights of America takes place Friday
night at St. Mary's Hall, and as much
important business must be transacted
President Harry Veeneman hopes to see
present full representation from every
branch in the three Falls cities.
For some time past the prominent
members of the Central Committee have
had under consideration the matter of
the disposal of the funds now in the
treasury, which are considerable. Some
advocate their expenditure for organizing
purposes, but the great majority seem to
think these funds should be held for the
purpose of aiding worthy members who
are sick or out OF work. Not few favor
division for both purposes. The ques-
ton is live one and will bring out able
discussion.
The Central Committee has thus far
been very successful and is doing good
work for all the local branches and the
order at large. The visits made are very
encouraging, and the results therefrom
will be apparent at the next State con-
vention. Many are eagerly awaiting the
decision of the committee on the subject
of another celebration in the near future.
1t is proposed to give an entertainment
during the winter that will eclipse any
heretofore attempted by the Catholic
Knights.

CENTRAL LABOR UNION
Elects Delegates to State and
American Federation
of Labor.

The election of delegates to the State
and American Federation of Labor
brought out large attendance at last
Sundays meeting of the Central Labor
Union. Four unions sent new delegates
and appeals from unions of other cities
for aid and cooperation received favor
able action.
Carl N. Bolander, of the Tailors' Union,
was elected delegate to the American
Federation of Labor convention, which
meets at Scranton on December 5. John
Fuchs, of the Brewers Union. was chosen
alternate. Both are able and conserva-
tive men, and the Central Labor u Mon is
sure to be we'll represented.
Henry A. Garfield was the choice for
delegate to the State Federation of Labor,
which meets at Lexington on November
II. A better selection could not have
been made. S. c. Moore, of the Retail
Clerks, was elected to the Vice Presi.
dency by reclamation.
First Vice President Conway, Of the
National organization of clerks, was
present from Denver, and addressed the
body, his remarks being we'll received.
Drafts of bills to create Bureau oil
Labor and declaring the first Monday in
September legal holiday were referred
to the Legislative Committee.
An invitation was accepted to attend
the ball of the Allied printing Trades
Council, after which The interesting SEES
sion was brought to close.

CATHOLIC UNION.
Election Of Officers aud Dele
gates to the National
Federation.

Tomorrow night at Satolh Council
Hall on Second street the Catholic Union
will meet in regular monthly session for
the purpose of electing officers and dele
gates to the National Federation of
Catholic societies, which convenes at
Cincinnati on December 10. Delegates
are expected from number of societies
heretofore unrepresented, and President
McDerrnott and Secretary Cooney have
issued circular letter fully explaining
all matters pertaining to the uuion and
the purposes of the National Federation
with which it is proposed to affiliate.
The meetings thus far have been very
interesting, and it is hoped that every
Catholic Society in Louisville will be
represented at Sunday nights meeting. 1t
may not be amiss to state that the work
of the union is confined solely to Catho-
lie society interests, social, moral and
intellectual, and nothing that has the
color of politics or partisanism will be
tolerated.
Alter the Cincinnati convention and
the adoption of the constitution and
principles by that body the local union
will be in position to do effective work,
and it is therefore necessary that able
officers should be placed at its head. The
services rendered by President McDer-
mott, Dr. j. w. Fowler and Eugene
Cooney have been most satisfactory, and
it can be safely said they will be unani-
mously reelected.

the gift of David Welsh, the we'll known
Seventh-street plumber, upon which
everybody was willing to take chance.
The ladies from St. Johns, St. Brigid's
and St. Aloysius, who had charge of the
dining-room, were kept busy at all times.
and all who patronized them were well
pleased. St. Williams church was rep
re: ented by two charming young ladies,
who were remarkably successful in
gathering in the dimes. They were
almost irresistible, as were hundreds of
others.
Special days were set apart for the
children of the different schools. Two
of the smallest parishes, Holy Cross and
the Church of Our Lady in Portland,
brought the largest numbers. Wednes-
day was the day set for the little orphans,
and of their visit Miss Elvira Sydnor
Miller writes in Thursdays Times:
1.-THE little orphans from st. Vincent's
Asylum at Preston Park had the time Of
their lives yesterday. They were brought
in town to attend the bazaar given for
their benefit. All the good women con-
nected with the fair We'd with one an
other in making the day red letter one
for the small guests. There was an ele-
giant and bountiful dinner served them
and the good Sisters who had charge of
the small folks, and they were allowed
to enjoy themselves in the hall to their
hearts content. The Louisville Transfer
Company generously carried them to and
from the city. free as their contribution
to the fun, and Mrs. Marcus Doerhoefer
stood ready at her table with 800 in
quarters. Each child got one of these
quarters, which he or she was free to
spend Cd ANYTHING for sale at the tables
at that price. There were tempting balls
of pop corn, rattles, small dolls, fancy
ornaments, tops, all sorts of juvenile toys
certain to catch the eye of the young
purchaser. The children were taken
home about o'clock in the afternoon,
perfectly delighted with their outing at
the bazaar, and certain it is that their visit
gave as much pleasure to the good
women at the hall as to the orphans
themselves.
Sunday night there will be meeting
at St. Francis Hall of the ladies and gen.
tlemen who have been conducting the
bazaar, when plans will be arranged for
the distribution of prizes not yet disposed
of. There are large number of these,
and President O'Brien urges all who can
do SO to attend.
The drawing for prizes Thursday night
was exciting, it being at times almost i'm
possible to gain admission to the hall.
The piano was awarded to a young lady
of Boston, Mass, niece of Rev. Father
Thomas York. Miss M. A. Ryan, of
Seventeenth and High streets, drew the
Trumbo brass bed, and the leather chair
went to C Emmett Fitzpatrick, Twelfth
and Delaware. Tony Norton won the
handsome silver set donated by Mr.. Ma
lone; Father Ratio. case of wine; Father
Rock, gold bracelets, and Father Cum
ningham, bride doll.
All connected with the bazaar are elated
over the results, as the sum realized will
reach away up into the thousands of dol
lars. The names of the winners of prizes
vet to be drawn for will be given space
in these Columns

The amount required for this purpose
is not large. For each room there should
be provided an iron bedstead, leather
covered couch and two chairs, washstand
and toilet set. Rugs may also be pro-
vided for the floor, but no carpets will be
used. Now is the time for those who
contemplate this noble work to make the
fact known. as they will thus be entitled
to choice rooms

FLOOD IN WEST VIRGINIA.
WaterspOut IN Mountains Near Hunt
fngtOn Causes Disastrous over
aOTE-LOss OF Life Great.

Huntington, ". Va, June 25.-The
tremendous high water in the Tug
river, caused by a cloudburst along
the headwateFs of that stream on
Saturday, IS a thing unprecedented
in the history Of that section and
the destruction Of property along the
ElkhOrn and Dry Fork and down the
Tug river to its mouth is most ap-
palling. Though it comes far short
Of rivaling the famous JOhnstOwn
flood, it serves as a vivid reminder of
that terrible deluge and it viii, no
doubt, be many a day ere such a dis
astrous result is witnessed again
from like cause.
The clOudburst occurred near the
headwaters of the EIl1horn and Dry
Fork rivers, whose confluence near
Welch form the main Tug river.
All the lumber plants, and there are
many of them, are great losers, to
an extent that many who have wit
messed the passing wreckage cOnserv-
ativeIy estimate at S1,5OO,OOO.
Tt is impossible to approximately
estimate the loss of life. Early re-
ports sent out indicated that it had
been very great, but each subsequent
report has lowered the number. It
is safe to say that less than 100 have
persisted, and it need be no surprise
to learn that no more than One-half,
or possibly One-fourth, that number
have been lost. Early reports sent
out proved to be grossly exaggerated,
based upon Imagination, as there was
no means of getting ANYTHING like
reliable information.
Much live stock has been drowned.
Among the drift and debris which fills
the river are numbers of horses, cat
tie and hogs. Several horses with
saddles and brides were seen to float
by, thus rendering it a certainty that
the riders had either been drowned
or had been compelled to desert them
and fee to the mOuntainside for
safety.
