TRAMP MINISTER
RAISES THE MONEY
"Rev." D. c. Borsers, Driven From
Minneapolis, Is Sent Home.

The minister of the PRESBYTERIAN
church who was warned to leave Min
neapolis under suspended sentence
Tor vagrancy Friday was sent to his
home at Neilsville, Wis, last night by
the st. Paul Relief society. The man,
who says his name is Rev" D. c. Bor-
gers, applied last July to a Presby-
terrain minister of st. Paul for aid, and
was given money to return to his home,
but he failed to leave the city.
He applied to the Relief society for
aid yesterday and number of minis
tiers were notified of the mans condi-
ton, with the result that one advanced
money sufficient to send the man to
his home. Relief Agent Hutchfns ac-
companied the man to the train last
night to see that he went off,
Borgers says that he was at one time
an ordained minister of the Presby-
terrain church, and that he had charge
of congregations at La Crosse, Sleepy
Eye and Neilsville. He left his last
charge six years ago, and since has
been drifting aimlessly about.

More Than 800 Votes Cast, So Keen
Was the Interest.

The election of the officers of the
Central High School Debating club was
finished yesterday, when the 500 or
more votes cast in the balloting of Fri
day were counted. The result given out

delay in announcing the result, which
was as follows:
President, Henry Horwitz; vice pres
ident, Harvey G. Fuller; secretary,
Kate Tallman; treasurer, John Bunker,
and finance committee, Paul Gauger,
Milton Firestone and Lynn Denny.
The election was one of the most hotly
contested ever held in the school, the

WE'D BEFORE PUBLIC
Volunteers of America CeIe.
brate Marriage.

The first public wedding to be cele-
brated by the local Volunteers of
America since their organization in st.
Paul was celebrated at the hall, Ala
Jackson street, last evening, when J.
F. Tonpllins, of st. Paul, and Miss
Anna Johnson, also of this city, were
married by Battalion Commander c.
w. Andrick, of Minneapolis.
Those who attended the ceremony,
with the expectation of witnessing
something sensational, were disap-
pointed, as the service was as quietly
and decOrously conducted as it would
have been in any church in the city.
After song service, the bride and
groom, accompanied by John Peters
as best man and Mrs. Rachel Master
son as matron Of honor mounted the
stage and stood before Commander
Andrick. Mr.. Andrick first read the
marriage license and then from the
book of the Volunteers Of America read
the marriage service, which, with the
responses, follows, with but few
changes, that of the Book of Common
Prayer of the Episcopal church.
After the service was finished and
they had been pronounced man and
wife, Mr.. and Mrs Tompkins stood
and received the congratulations of
those in the assembly who came for
ward to greet them. The bride was
dressed in white and wore long veil
fastened upon her head by wreath OF
white roses. She carried in her hand
a large bunch of white roses during
the ceremony.
After the wedding those present
joined in a song and praise service, in
which Volunteer music figured, with
much of the bass drum and tambour-
inc.
Both Mrs. and Mr. Tompkins are
converts as a result of the work of the
Volunteers in this city, and the officers
were very proud last night of the
formal union of two of their earliest
members. Tompkins is a carpenter,
and works for the Hackett Hardware
company. He is twenty-five years of
age, while his wife is twenty-four
years old. The newly wed couple will
reside at 229 Eighth street.
