the evening wes the presentation to John M Mulloy of three handsome pieces of furniture as a token of esteem for the unselfish services he has rendered Division 1 and the order generally during the past three yearsc Incidental to the presentation there was plenty of Irish oratory sweet music and an abundance of light refreshments and cigars Taken all and all it was the best thing the Hibernians have done Inm years While there was a good crowd present the pity of it was that so few P from other divisions and so few outside of the order attended An affair like that of Tuesday night when Irishmen outside the order are Invited would do more to swell the ranks than the per ¬ sonal solicitation of members President James P Barry called the division to order at 8 oclock and at once announced that in view of the fact that the special committee had provided a social session all routine business would be dispensed with He then introduced Attorney Thomas Walsh as the first speaker

Hibernian whom the members of Division 1 wanted to thank to whom they wanted in some slight manner to show their appreciation for services rendered a man who night after night and day after day had given his time and his labor for the success of HI- bernian ¬ enterprises- At this juncture Messrs Joseph Dougherty John J Cronen and William M Higgins of the Social Session Com- mittee appeared from

handing me something Again he was assured that he had guessed right Finally Mr Mnllor modestly thanked the members of Division 1 for their splendid gifts but assured them that he had only done his duty as a member had only done what he thought any Hibernian should do and that he had done it without any hope of reward He pledged himself to con ¬ tinue to work as hard for the order i in future as he had in the past Mr Mul boys little address was received with round after round of applause Tom callys orchestra helped to enliven the affair with a medley of good old Irish I airs while Mr Mulloy

From Ashes of the Old Right Rev Bishop ODon aghuo Will Officiate at Exercises OF PRIEST AND PARISH The new church of St Augubtirie in in effersonville will be formally dedicated the service of God tomorrow morning The Right Rev Denis ODonaghue Auxiliary Bishop of Indianapolis will officiate at the dedicatory ceremonies and will also preach the sermon The Rev Father W J Cronin of Clinton h- Ind who was formerly assistant rector the old St Augustines will celebrate the high mass following the dedicatory exercises It is needless to say that stand ng room will be at a premium within the edifice before the ceremonies begin since Catholics of New Albany and Lou sville will vie with their brethren in Jeffersonville in their interest in the new house of God Besides Bishop ODonagbue it is believed that many of the most prominent clergy in Indiana will assist at the ceremonies In the Evening at 730 oclock there will be the rosary sermon and Benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament The orator of the evening will be one noted for his eloquence and zeal in the cause of they one true faithI The new St Augustines is indeed a stately edifice and would reflect credit S- on the Catholics of a larger town It has seating capacity of about 700 but it is estimated that it will hold close to 900 people The new pews have been placed and the three handsome alters have been erected In fact everything is in com plete readiness for the ceremonies which will take place tomorrow And to be sure there is not a prouder happier man Indiana than the Rev Father John P OConnell pastor of St Augustines It was he who on that wintry night of December 9 1903 stood in the street with tears streaming down his face when he saw that the firemen were unable to prevent the destruction of the old church He was well nigh heart ¬ broken But his people rallied around him and bade him be of good cheer As i i- in the days of Joshua the people held up the arms of their priest while he prayed for victory And victory has been theirs Priest and people are proud of their achievementAnd all the credit is due to the people of St Augustines In theit t darkest hour the nonCatholics of Jeffer souville with true Christian spirit came I to the aid of their afflicted brethren On the morning after the church was burned and neither pastor qor people I knew where to seek a temporary place ofworship Mr Speith the proprietor l of Spieths Hall came forward and ten- dered ¬ the use of his building free ofe charge for 63 long a period as it wouldI I be necessary The offer was accepted I with thanks and for more than eighteen 4 months services were held in Speitha I Hall on Sundays and holydays For this favor the Catholics of St Augustine are under a lasting debt of gratitude and which they will eventually repay a hundredfoldFather P OConnell who has worked so hard to build the new church was born at Loogootce Ind of Irish parents Early in life he decided to devote his life to the ministry of God After a preliminary schooling at Loa Bootee he pursued his classical and theo ¬ logical studies at St Meinrads College He was ordained at Indianapolis in 1893 and his first mission was that of assistant at St Augustines He proved an able aid to Father Audran now deceased and soon endeared himself to the whole congregation On the death of Father Audran several years ago Father OCon nell was appointed pastor Ever since be has labored night and day for his people and is not only beloved by his own but he has the respect and admir ¬ ation of all denominations in Jefferson ville In the work of securing funds for building the new church Father OCon nell has been greatly aided by the fol ¬ lowing members of his parish Georg- Volgt Michael and John Kenney Rob- ert Gleason James B and Frank Doherty Maurice Barney and John Gelid Edward Michael and Archie Kehoe James Burke Thomas and Ham ¬ ilton Duffy Peter Madden Police Com ¬ missioner John Murphy Redmond Stan ton Martin Fogarty James

dedicated This church was 50x22 feet and was built on Canal street between Maple and Market It was known as St Anthonys and was fre- quented ¬ by both German and Irish Cath ¬ olics The first mass was celebrated in the new church by the Rev Father Otto Jair of St Bonifaces church Louisville Father Jair again celebrated mass in the new church on January 23 1852 Being unable to take regular charge of the con- gregation ¬ Father Jair had to content himself with attending sick calls It was not until March 17 1853 that Jeffer sonville had a resident pastor He came the person of the Rev Father August Bessonies who was accompanied by Bishop de St Palais of Vincennes At the end of three years Father Bessonies left and was succeeded by the Rev Will- iam ¬ Doyle who was succeeeed by his brother the Rev Philip Doyle a year The congregation was growing all the time and it became necessary to make provision for the better attention- of the people The corner stone of St Augu tines church was blessed on Octo- ber ¬ 10 1863 by the Right Rev Bishop Spalding of Louisville but on April 16 1804 the Rev Father Andrew Michael was appointed pastor of the new congre- gation ¬ and not until then was work on

Seventeenth was just emerging from a state of wilderness German men and women from the Fatherland had settled thereabout and were beginningto make it bloom as the rose It was in that same year that the KnowNothlngs with their bigoted cry Down withjthe Dutch and to hell with the Irish had causedthe sac ¬ rifice of innocent lives and valuable prop ¬ erty on Bloody Monday But these faithful German Catholics were nothing daunted They and their forefathers had withstood persecution for the faith in the old land for centuries Why not in the new world And so it came to pass that in the fall of 1855

pastor of St Peters has given much time and thought toward arranging this programme lIe has so devised that the white cowls of St Dominics followers will mingle with the brown of the order of Friars Minor and the black gowns of the Passionists and his own order of Minor Conventuals as well as finding a place for the secular clergy In this work he has been ably aided by his as ¬ sistant the Rev Father Paul Vollrath O M C As a matter of course theseI I two worthy priests have been encouraged- by their parishioners in making suitable provision for the proper entertainment the visiting clergy When first established St Peters wast a small structure Now the church its adjoining rectory parochial school build Ings and parish hall are among thes largest and most improved church propi i erties in this city As it was in the be- ginning ¬ so it is now a Germanspeaking i congregation Its members are among the most thrifty and substantial citizens of Louisville and all are proud of their t church and of the celebration about to be InauguratedThe Father S M Beyhurst a secular priest was the first pastor of Stf Peters and remained there until 1857 when he was succeeded by the Revt Joseph Kidder a Capuchim friar who remained till 1860 In that year the Minor Conventuals came to Louisville and assumed charge of St Peters with the Rev Father Bonaventue Kellar ast pastor In 1870 he was succeeded by theS Rev Father Alphonse Zoeller who in turn was succeeded by the Rev Father Anthony MUller in 1872 Father MilllerI I It will be remembered was the maternal uncle of Mary Anderson the greatest actress America ever produced Father Anthony as he was known all over the city had a thorough knowledge of medi cine and frequently when physicians held out no hope of cure he was be ¬ sieged by friends of stricken ones to use his skill He effected many marvelous cures He remained as pastor of St I Peters until 1877 when he was suc- ceeded ¬ by the Rev Leopold Bonaventure Moczgemba Father Mliller however remained at St Peters as assistant until the following year when he was called to his eternal reward He was the only 1 priest who died while at St Peters InI I July 1878 Father Leonarde Reich beI I came pastor of St Peters He is now Secretary of the Province with head- quarters ¬ at Syracuse In the same yearj j Father Vincent Dulmovich now ChapI I lain of St Jbsephs Orphan Asylum suc- ceeded ¬ Father Reich Father Vincent J j remained in charge until he was relieved I by Father Leo Greulich in 1893 Five I years later Father Leo was transferred to St Anthonys and Father Jerome Preis ¬ ser the incumbent succeeded him His people pray May he long be the last Previous to his appointment as pastor Father Preisser had served five years as assistant so that he is fully conversant with the people and their needs It would be faint praise to attempt to tell what be has done One has only to look at the handsome church and theI magnificent buildings adjoining to see that the finger of God has been upon his workStrange as it may seem St PetersI with its vast congregation has fewer sick calls than any parish of similar size in the city Its people die usually of old age Of those who lived in the parish when it was formed hardly any are left Only one can be now recalled He is Clement Kramer a farmer on the Cane Run road who has been living in the same vicinity since 1840 Among some of the older men who have spent the greater part of their lives in St Peters parish are John Meerman Frank Senn Sr Matt Goetz Ignatz Spickermann John H Bloemer Peter Lang Frank

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
