plenty of Irish oratory sweet music and
an abundance of light refreshments andcigars Taken all and all it was thebest thing the Hibernians have done Inmyears While there was a good crowdpresent the pity of it was that so few Pfrom other divisions and so few outsideof the order attended An affair likethat of Tuesday night when Irishmenoutside the order are Invited would domore to swell the ranks than the per ¬
sonal solicitation of membersPresident James P Barry called the
division to order at 8 oclock and at onceannounced that in view of the fact thatthe special committee had provided asocial session all routine business wouldbe dispensed with He then introducedAttorney Thomas Walsh as the firstspeaker of the evening Mr Walsh wastin his happiest vein and paid high tributeeto the worth of the men and women ofIreland who despite tyranny and oppres ¬ l

Ind who was formerly assistant rectorthe old St Augustines will celebrate

on the Catholics of a larger town It hasseating capacity of about 700 but it is
estimated that it will hold close to 900people The new pews have been placedand the three handsome alters have beenerected In fact everything is in complete readiness for the ceremonies whichwill take place tomorrow And to besure there is not a prouder happier man
Indiana than the Rev Father John POConnell pastor of St Augustines Itwas he who on that wintry night ofDecember 9 1903 stood in the streetwith tears streaming down his facewhen he saw that the firemen wereunable to prevent the destruction of theold church He was well nigh heart ¬
broken But his people rallied aroundhim and bade him be of good cheer As ii-in the days of Joshua the people held upthe arms of their priest while he prayedfor victory And victory has been theirsPriest and people are proud of their
achievementAndall the credit is due to the
people of St Augustines In theittdarkest hour the nonCatholics of Jeffersouville with true Christian spirit came Ito the aid of their afflicted brethren Onthe morning after the church wasburned and neither pastor qor people I
knew where to seek a temporary placeofworship Mr Speith the proprietor l
of Spieths Hall came forward and ten-
dered¬
the use of his building free ofecharge for 63 long a period as it wouldII
be necessary The offer was acceptedI
with thanks and for more than eighteen 4
months services were held in Speitha I
Hall on Sundays and holydays For thisfavor the Catholics of St Augustineare under a lasting debt of gratitudeand which they will eventually repay a
hundredfoldFatherP OConnell who has
worked so hard to build the new churchwas born at Loogootce Ind of Irishparents Early in life he decided todevote his life to the ministry of GodAfter a preliminary schooling at LoaBootee he pursued his classical and theo ¬
logical studies at St Meinrads CollegeHe was ordained at Indianapolis in 1893and his first mission was that of assistantat St Augustines He proved an ableaid to Father Audran now deceasedand soon endeared himself to the wholecongregation On the death of FatherAudran several years ago Father OConnell was appointed pastor Ever sincebe has labored night and day for hispeople and is not only beloved by hisown but he has the respect and admir ¬
ation of all denominations in Jeffersonville
In the work of securing funds forbuilding the new church Father OConnell has been greatly aided by the fol ¬
lowing members of his parish Georg-Volgt Michael and John Kenney Rob-ert Gleason James B and FrankDoherty Maurice Barney and JohnGelid Edward Michael and ArchieKehoe James Burke Thomas and Ham ¬

InauguratedTheFather S M Beyhurst a
secular priest was the first pastor of StfPeters and remained there until 1857when he was succeeded by the RevtJoseph Kidder a Capuchim friar whoremained till 1860 In that year theMinor Conventuals came to Louisvilleand assumed charge of St Peters withthe Rev Father Bonaventue Kellar astpastor In 1870 he was succeeded by theSRev Father Alphonse Zoeller who inturn was succeeded by the Rev FatherAnthony MUller in 1872 Father MilllerIIIt will be remembered was the maternaluncle of Mary Anderson the greatestactress America ever produced FatherAnthony as he was known all over thecity had a thorough knowledge of medicine and frequently when physiciansheld out no hope of cure he was be¬
sieged by friends of stricken ones to usehis skill He effected many marvelouscures He remained as pastor of St I
Peters until 1877 when he was suc-
ceeded¬
by the Rev Leopold BonaventureMoczgemba Father Mliller howeverremained at St Peters as assistant untilthe following year when he was calledto his eternal reward He was the only 1
priest who died while at St Peters InII

by Father Leo Greulich in 1893 Five I
years later Father Leo was transferred toSt Anthonys and Father Jerome Preis ¬
ser the incumbent succeeded him Hispeople pray May he long be the lastPrevious to his appointment as pastorFather Preisser had served five years asassistant so that he is fully conversantwith the people and their needs Itwould be faint praise to attempt to tellwhat be has done One has only tolook at the handsome church and theImagnificent buildings adjoining to seethat the finger of God has been upon his
workStrangeas it may seem St PetersI
with its vast congregation has fewer sickcalls than any parish of similar size inthe city Its people die usually of oldage Of those who lived in the parishwhen it was formed hardly any are leftOnly one can be now recalled He isClement Kramer a farmer on the CaneRun road who has been living in thesame vicinity since 1840
