CLGCTIKr. TilEl X PRESIDENT.The Itasca Club Confer the Honor

on Char let* Davi<.on.

The Itasca club met last night to electBflicers for the ensuing year. The attend-ance did not fill all the chairs, but there wasa fair representation. At 8 o'clock sharp

I'iesident Willis pounded on the desk with a

gavel, and, announcing that his term of

Dfltoe had expired, proceeded to the deliver-ance of an eloquent address that consumedabout fifteen minute*. Upstairs the Cribclub was indulging in a few friendlyset-tos with large gloves, and theliulou urnhnndlni therefrom somewhat dis-turbed the speaker, but he managed to makehimsHf lieanl effectively enough to receivefrequent applause. He reviewed the his-tory of the club since its organization, di-lated on Its progress and success, and ex-pVMMd hopes for its future and retiredheartily thanking the members for the una-nimity with whioh they had worked withlltD for the welfare of the organization.The racket of the muhMMlltt upstairs wasost for a moment in the rattle of appfatOMliat Mr. Willis received as he d»«Bdedroni the rostrum and took a seat in the»ody of the house. John Ives arose and

f thanks to Mr. Willis for trie earnestoanner in which he had worked for the me-rest of the club, and without a dissentingoice the resolution was adopted. Noinina-tons for president of the club being in or-<t, Mr. Willis, with a brief eulogy, pre-r:nted the name of Charles Davison. J. J.IcCafferty said while he had the highestegard for Mr. Davison, he wished to re-joininateMr. Willis for the office wliic'i helad held the past year so efficiently andwith so much credit to hiiusellmd the club. He thought there wasno man in the organization whopossessed quite so much executive ability asMr. Willis and he should be re-elected.Mr. Willis, while he appreciated the honorthat his friend MeCafferty woifld thrustipon him, declined having his name uien-

lioned in connection with the candidacy, astte believed rotation in office imbued any•rganization with fresh spirit and was nec-essary to its success. Still Mr. MH'affertyinsisted in presenting his name, and dweltnpon it so enthusiastically that John Iveswas at last stirred, and. rising, he said inas-much as Mr. Willis had absolutelyrteclined to allow his name tobe used, he thought it wasthrowing an insinuation of doubt at hissinceriiy by persisting in his nomination.By way Of explanation, Mr. MeCaffertysaid he had no such idea. The clubshould confer the honor of an election onMr. Willis, and if he wanted to declinethen, be hail a right to. The matter wasin this manner c.iinpioniised. and an in-formal ballot proceeded to, which broughtMr. Willis 20 votes. Davison 4. Hemlrick-BOn i, and Judge Cory 1. When the formalballot was taken. Mr. Willis was elected,ami promptly and emphatically refused toaccept the omen. A new brJlotwas taken with the following result:Davison, 14: Coiy, 6; Hend^lickson. 2; Me-Cafferty, I; SlcGrorty, 1: Ives. 1. Davisonwas declared elivted, and Messrs. McCaf-rertyand ives escorted him lo the chair,where he made a brief inaugural address,dwelling upon the nossibilities of the clubin the future, and suggesting that somepolicy should be shaped whereby the linau-cial condition of the club would !>e im-proved.

OTHKK OKFICKKS RUSCTED.The election of the other oflicers was car-

ried on, tin* monotony iM'ing relieved byfacetioua sparring between Ives and Me-Caffert] and Dr. Snvder. The result ofthe election was as follows:

President— Charles Davisou.First Vice President —John H. lyes.Second Vice President —W. C. Severns.Secretary —John Tuohy.Treasurer —Andrew I>elanpy.Executive Committee—Hon. E. A. Hen-

A vote of thanks was extended to CharlesL. Willis for the gift of hanging portraitsof President Cleveland and the late VicePresident liendricks. Other business waspostponed one week on account of the late-uess of the hour and the club adjourned.

CARNIVAL PA RATIONS.

The Corner Rlock of the Palace**Details Settled.

The executive committee of the directorsof the Ice Palace and Carnival associationmet at the Ryan last Bveulngand receivedthe report of the committee on amuse-ments. There were a number of gfintle-men present by invitation of the committeeto aid, by their suggestions and advice, thatbody to provide a suitable program of at-tractions and amusements during the car-nival. A number who had been invitedfor this purpose were absent, however,which was very much regretted by the ex-ecutive committee, as that body has itshands full.

There was one thing on which the com-mittee expressed themselves very fully, andthat was at the dilatory way in which someof the various club members were acting inregard to their costumes. Dr. Macdonaidproposed that in order to arouse the enthu-siasm of citizens generally and winter clubsin particular, that the corner block of thepalace should be laid with a grand demon-stration befitting Mich an event, and pro-posed a

<;i:anp TOBCHUGHT PBOCBSOOMof all the various winter club* of this ettyand contiguous places, to be participated inby the citizens generally with liningcere-monies. These ideas impressed the entirecommittee and it was decided t-. adoptthem. Dr. Itaedonald was appointed thechairman of a committee, which be wasauthorized to complete, to whom the matterwas referred with full power to act.The ceremonies will be eonetaded underthe united auspices of all tbe roomhoe, to-boggan, curling and other clubs, and willocettr ne\t Thursday evening at s o'clock.Dr. Macdonald said that he would till outthe committee at once and arrange his pro-gram, which would be announced in a few-days—by Monday at the farthest. Aid.Van Slyke slated that be would to-morrowascertain just the location where electriclights should be placed on the carnivalgrounds, and attend to their erection im-medtately. The city council would haveMinnesota street, from Seventh <-treet tothe entrance of the palace grounds, brill-iantly illuminated.

Mr. Hall informed the committee thatabout one hundred editors 01 newspapersin this state, belonging to a union, were tohold a convention in this city on the secondday in February, and lie asked s/haisnedalprogram W attraction could be arranged fortheir benefit. He said that if some attract-tive feature could be arranged for at thattime, or a few days later, the conventioncould be postponed so as to enable theeditors to witness something that theycould go home and describe in their jour-nals, aud thus advertise and keep up theinterest in the carnival. The committeewas favorably impressed with the sugges-tion offered by Mr. Hall and laid it overwith other matters to be attended to in anexecutive session.

A committee from the North Star Tobog-gan club, composed of Dr. Mae-dunald, Dr. Whitcnmb and R. C. "W hite.called upon the committee on behalfofthe toboggan club, of which tiiey weremembers, and asked if the committee pro-posed to do anything toward securing Ham.*ey hill for tobogganing purposes. Thegentlemen were informed that the matterwould be coafdderad find they would be no-tified of the action of the committee.

The genttefuea outside the committee byie juc^t submitted many ideas in re-

pard to various entertainments and attrac-tion-during the carnival, and they werenoted by the secretary and afterwards re-ferred to the committee on amusements toput in shape, and preparing such as theysaw fit. Itwas given full power to act inthe matter. Mr. W. K. Bramhall, presi-dent of the St. Paul Boat club, stated thatthere were a great

MANY ELF G ANT BKATERSamong the ladies aud gentlemen ot thiscity who cared nothing for toboggan andsnowshoe sports, but who would be glad toorganize into skating club* iffacilities couldbe offered by the association. He assuredthe committee that if such clubs could beallowed the exclusive surface of one of therinks on the grounds at certaintimes, attractive programs would be ar-ranged and some fine exhibitions given.The gentleman was assured that the com-mittee would gladly extend the facilitiesasked, and it urged the formation of skat-ing clubs and their adoption of an attrac-tive costume. It was decided to have aGrand Armyday and invite Mr. 8. S. Bur-dette of Washington, grand commander ofthe order, and Gen. Phil Sheridan.The date was not appointed.

There were many suggestions made, oneimportant one being a driving day, whena turnout of fine teams and equipages intandem, three, four or six-horse, could behad and give citizens an opportunity ofmaking a grand display. Mr. Tallmadgestated that he knew of one sleigh that hadcost v-i.uoo that had been especially con-structed forthat purpose.

I'HIZKS OFFERED.The committee on prizes have arranged

forKiiowshoe distances, a grand challeugecup forcurlers, fancy and fast skating, bestdecorated building, best display of tobog-ganing by any club, best costumes at uia-s-

--querade ball, and have not yet completedtheir list. The association decided to offera prize of 8100 for the best figure carved inkm, all entries for this prize to become theproperty of the association. It adjournedsubject to call.

NOTES.Mr. (Jeorge D. Wood, who was very

prominent in the entertainment of the m.I'auJ delegation that visited Winnipeg, wasin the city yesterday. He said that Winni-peg would send a delegation to the car-nival and St. George's club of that citywould send down 200 snowshoers.

The North Star Toboggan club held ameeting at the Ryan last evening andelected a number of new members. Theconstitution and by-laws were adopted.The club elected Dr. Macdonald its hon-orary president.

The carnival association has lithograohsof the palace in tubes, all ready for mailing.They can be had at carnival headquarters inthe Ryan for 10 cents each. Many businesslinns are sending them out.

One of the most attractive arches willbeerected at the corner of Third and Sibleystreets, through which every visitor to thecarnival willpass, as they come up from thedepot.

The Kyan hotel has ordered 5,000 envel-o]>es bearing a cut of the ice palace for useamong their quests. A great many busi-l.t-ss linns are booming the palace in thesame way.

The cold weather is booming ice palacestock. Aid. Van Slyke of the finance com-mittee received several subscribers yester-day for a SIOO each.

It is the intention of erecting upon an icefoundation a large polar l>ear, carved out ofice, in front of the union depot.

There are branches of the St. GeorgeSnowshoe club in Eau Claire and Still-water.

THE RYW HOTEL.Explanation of a Chattel mortgage

Given by tbe Proprietor*.The published report of a commercial

agency. Mgardlng a chattel mortgage givenby Messrs. Brugh & Truman on the per-sonal property owned by them, to Mr.Dennis Ryan, owner of that building, wasthe cause of considerable speculation yes-tenlav. To a reporter of the Globk Mr.Brugh said yesterday that such a mortgagehad been Eton in accordance with theterms of their lease. It was not becausethey were indebted to Air. Ryan, as theydid not owe him a cent, but' It had beenneglected until Tuesday by both themselvesand Mr. Ryan. Atthe time the him leasedthe hotel from Mr. Ryan it was agreed byboth parties that Messrs. Brugh & Tru-man should execute a chattel mortgage ontheir personal property in and about the ho-tel. Bndfhre to Mr. Ryan as security for theleM& It was neglected, however* by bothMr. Ryan and the linn, and was not at-tended to until Messrs. Brugh & Tiumanhanded Mr. Ryan the mortgage, in order tocarry out their part of the stipulated agree-ment and make their lease valid. Thehotel is in a highly prosperous condi-tion, and is paying far in excess of allanticipation* of business for this season.In the matter of rent and other expense,Mr. Ryan had always been promptly paidand held no claims against the firm.

Mr. Ryan waR also seen ivregard to thematter and explained it in substantially the jsame manner as Mr. Brutrh. Itwas a con- jdition of the lease, and was executed in ac- jcordance with the terms agreed upon, andnot because there was anything due him.He desired to correct any impression thatmight have been formed in regard to the 'matter, and stated that Messrs. Brugh & |Truman did not owe him anything, and that ithere had been no lapse in the regular pay-ment of rental upon the hotel, which was ,dote*a large and successful business. Inexpressing himself Mr. Ryan stated that it |was simply a procrastination in attending !to details.

VOLUNTARY »»mi,miim.

A Urll-knowii JrurlcrTuruaOvrrRli Stock.

Yesterday Mr. Jacob Morjran stern, awholesale and retail jeweler doing businesson Sibley street between Fourth and Fifth,made a voluntary assignment to Benjamin11. Plechner for the benefit of his creditors.Mr. Morgan stern has been hard pressed bysome of his creditors fur some time, a num-ber of claims having been placed in thehands of attorneys here in St. Paul for col-lection. He has managed tokeep along inhis business by paying in one way or an-other many of these claims and makingtemporary provisions for others. His as-signment was. ' however, precipitatedby an execution for i113.2.> obtainedin Minneapolis in favor of Holmes,Booth&llaydenof Connecticut, The iifmade a levy under this execution yesterdayand took property enough from the store tosatisfy it. It is claimed, however, by theattorneys of Mr. Morgaustem, Messrs.Itodgers &Hardy, that the good3m takencannot be held under this execution as thelaw has not been complied within severalparticulars. No schedule of assets or lia-bilities has yet been tiled. Mr. Morgansteruformerly had Iplace of business on Jacksonstreet and has been in business hen in St.Paul for something more than eight years,and was supposed to be doing a large andprofitable business. Xo claims are secured.So far as can be learned the Indebtedness isMl less than $13,000, while the assets,stock in trade and accounts are not ex-pected to pay 50 per cent, of the indebted-ness. This, though, is mere guess-work.

Mr. Pleehner said lie knew nothing aboutthe matter, except that an assignment hasbeen made, and that he had been appointedassignee. lie willcommence taking an in-ventory this morning. Of course, he hasno information whatever as to the amountof the liabilities, the value of the stock inthe store, or the residences of the creditors.It was reported yesterday that one of thebanks in St Paul had between $3,000 and84,000 of his paper. The creditors aremostly in the East.

Erick Hogland has made an assignmentto James N. Grunjrer. who gave bonus inthe sum of $2,400. This, however, is a\ cry trifling matter. The stock is small,and is valued at only a few hundred dollars.

Lizzie ay I'lmer in "Dad's Girl"'at the f.ruml lust >iK iit.

Lizzie May I'lmer appeared at the Grandlast night to a house that would undoubt-edly have been much larger had not a bliz-zard been blowing outside. As it was sheplayed with as much spirit and vivacity asshe would had the theater been crowdedwith admirer-. Mi-s I'lmer has a fine con-ception of pathos and humor and her de-lineation of these elements in tbe charac-ter of "Dads Girl is truly interesting. Hersweet face and quiet, affectionate mannersand her artless, sunny disposition appealsto the finest chords of sympathy and lore inthe hearts of her observers. While her ges-tures are too stiff and studdied their lack ofnatural grace is forgotten in the pure unaf-fectedness of her manners, which give theimpression that she is doing and not acting.The play, in the title role of which sheappears, is simple in plot and natural indetail, and the character in which MissUlmer appears is well fitted to her. Hersupport has been well chosen, Harry Mackas Vasco de Gatna Biles, an eccentric indi-vidual with a new idea, being exceptionallyclever in his role. The company occupythe boards to-night and Saturday nightgiving a Saturday matinee, and they aredeserving of large audiences.

INTERESTING POINTERS.

"a branch of the signal office was locatedin a particularly tough town. Tbe seasonfollowing the weather proved unusually dis-aereeable, and the inhabitants held an in-dignation meeting and took action to theeffect that the office must be abolished or

Ci.evki.and, 0.. Jan. 7.—There Is greatexcitement among the residents of Brown-ell street, a thoroughfare that crossesEuclid avenue and penetrates the best resi-dence part ofthe city. Last night Miss InaNorton, a pretty blonde, residing at No. 69Brownell street, went to 162, Prospectstreet, to participate in a social game ofcards at a party gathered at the house ofa Miss English. Throughout the eveningshe seemed extremely nervous, and at 10o'clock requested some one to take her handat whist for her. Kising from the table,she went into the hall and was seen nomore, Her parents, who were present atthe time, were very anxious about the girl'sdisappearance and reported the matter topolice headquarters. This morning it waslearned that a marriage license bad beenissued to (ins Barber and Nettie I. Norton.(Jailing at the house on Brownell street, areporter was met at the door by a coloreddomestic, who immediately asked: "Areyou a reporter?" Answering in the affirm-ative he was told that Mrs. Norton wouldsee no one. Inquiry of the colored personselicited the fact that she was very well ac-quainted with Barber, but Mrs. Norton,who evidently had been listening, then ap-peared on the scene, and said that therewas

XOTITIXG TO BE STATED.The reporter then called at the home of

Miss English. A number of friends of theNorton family were present, and the fol-lowing facts were ascertained: The Nor-ton family moved from Seville, 0., toCleveland three years ago and opened aboarding house near the Woolendon hotel.Two colored domestics were employed, oneof whom is at present with the family, andthese girls had two lovers, Bragg and Bar-ber, both of whom were tonsorial artNN.Barber is a colored Adonis, and it tran.spiresthat bis affections were rapidly transferredfrom the servant to her white mistress, andMki Ina did not seem to be averse to thesame. Clandestine meetings were frequent,the colored girl acting as a go-between, andon Wednesday afternoon Barbers coloredchnm, Bragg, procured a marriage licensefor him, and Mr. Augustis Barber wasunited in marriage to Miss Ina Norton atthe residence of Rev. Gassoway. pastor ofthe African M. E. church on Erie street.The lovers then separated. Miss Ina wentto the card party, and leaving her handwith a friend, she went outside and metthe barber, who was in waiting with hisfaithful Bragg. A carriage whisked themto the Union depot, and it to supposed thatthey took the train to the East.

The Success of "Adonis."New York, Jan. 7.—To-night at the

Bijou opera house Mr. Henry E. Dixeygave his five hundredth consecutive per-formance of "Adonis." As this made itthe longest run on record, the event wascelebrated after the performance with agrand ball at the Metropolitan opera house,tendered him in the name of a lanre numberof prominent citizens. Among the decora-tions was a floral arch of triumph nearlythirtyfeet high and Adonis himself outlinedin gas jets. Itwas one of the most brill-iant affairs of its kind ever seen here. Fourbands, including Gilmore's, furnished mu-sic forthe occasion. The reception by Mr.Dixey and the dancing which followed oc-cupied nearly the entire night.
