MINNEAPOLIS r . . CURRENT COMMENT. The friends of Mayor Ames are deter mined that when he returns to the city It shall not be unknown and unheralded, 1 but that, on the contrary, he shall be re ceived as a soldier home from the wars. It is expected he will return some time during the coming week, but at present he is on his way from Cincinnati to Maine, to corral a little of the magnet ism for which that state is notorious. There has been no programme of ar rangements, as yet, and the reception will probably be of the impromptu and spontaneous character. But Col. Glenn will not deliver the address of welcome, nor will Orville Rinchart imprint a chaste salute on the mayor's alabaster brow. • The wild-eyed efforts to boom Gresh am as a tariff reformer are still kept up by some of the choice spirits of the Min nesota press. The latest convert is Frank Meade, of the Tribune, who re cently electrified the Union league by declaring very emphatically that of all the candidates Gresham was the weak est. Since that time the Tribune,which was supporting Allison, has changed hands and likewise changed idols, and Frank swings gracefully into line. Frank has always posed as a slave to principles, and it is a touching com mentary on his caliber when he is quoted as favoring Gresham "because the Democrats are afraid of him." * * The Republican circus at Chicago and the Sells circus at Minneapolis will occur on the same day, and they will both be sells. The Minnesota delega tion promises to be a picnic, as each of the fourteen delegates favor a different candidate. They will get off for Chi cago in a day or two prepared for a war fare that wiil make the proceedings of their brethren at St. Louis as tame as a church meeting. » * The Milwaukee railroad officials calmly disregard any action of the coun cil concerning the granting of a right of way for its connecting line between the river at short line bridge and the Hast ings & Dakota division, and is laying track right along and blocking the streets to be crossed with embankments of earth and piles of material. This, too, in the face of the probability of a refusal of the council to pass the ordi nance unless a depot is located'at Twenty-sixth avenue south, a conces sion on the part of the railroad, which Superintendent Case declares he will not make. * * There are hundreds of people who are ready to criticise L. M. Stewart's good taste in keeping such a pretty home stead, on the corner of Hennepin ave nue and Fourth street, right in the heart of the city, but somehow no one finds fault with the elder while stand ing in the shade of his trees on a hot day. FOR GRAND ARMY MEN. Rearrangement of Department Territory New Medical Orders. Commander-in-Chief Rea, of the G. A. R., lias issued General Orders No. 8, through Adjutant General Fish, as follows: That part of the Indian territory which is embraced in the Choctaw, Cherokee and Chickasaw nations, is hereby detached from the department of Texa« and added to the department of Arkansas for all Grand Army purposes, -which arrangement will date from May 1, 1880. All posts heretofore organized within the territory herein specified will re port to the commander of the department of and will be subject to the jurisdiction of that department. On the recommendation of Surgeon General Florence Donohue, post surgeons are di rected to transmit, at once, to the medical di rectors of their respective departments a brief statement of the number of destitute ex-soldiers treated by them during the quar ter ending March 31, 1888, together with the sources from which money was procured to ray for medicines and surgical appliances. These statements should embrace also the number of patients treated who were mem bers of the families of ex-soldiers, names beiug in all cases omitted. Medical directors will consolidate these statements and in formally report the same to the surgeon general^ adding tlie results of their own services of like character. The surgeon-general, to whom the subject was remitted by the action of the hist national encampment, is of the opinion that it is not advisable to " resume the system of formal and detailed reports once tried but latterly abandoned. In his judgment the du ties of the medical department should con sist chiefly in searching out such comrades as are unable to pay for needed medical and surgical tieatment and causing the same to be promptly and fully supplied. He is espe cially desirous that the work thus done should be promptly reported- to the end that a proper showing may be made in his annual report. The commander-in-chief heartily concurs in these suggestions and directs that they be duly observed, similar reports will I be made at "the close of the second quarter. Attention is called to the rule which re quires that all proposed changes in the rules and regulations should be communi cated to headquarters in time to admit of their being submitted to the members of the national encampment at least thirty days before the meeting of that body. The date of meeting has been fixed for Sept. 12, 1SSS. Propositions for changes should be in the hands of the adjutant general not later than Aug. 1. Upon the request of the department en campment and officers of the department of the Gulf, the territory included therein will Le designated hereafter as the Department of Louisiana and Mississippi. By request of the National Association of Naval Veterans, notice is hereby given that a reunion of the survivors of the Union navy will be held at Columbus during the national encampment. Particulars as to time and place ot meeting, rales, etc.. will be furnished on application to William Simmons, secretary, care Naval Post No. 400, Philadelphia. CAUGHT IN COURT.

Ed Richards' Gratitude. Ed R. Richards, ex-manager of the Hennepin Avenue theater, is slowly re covering from the injuries received by his terrible fall at the Washington rink, and it is thought that by Saturday he can be removed to his mother's home at Chicago. He requsts the Globe to return for him his heartfelt thanks to those who have assisted him in his misfor tune, especially to the ladies and gen tlemen who so kindly gave their ser vices at the benefit entertainment in his behalf at the People's theater, and hopes to be able to be able to repay them at some time in the future. While Mr. Richards' injuries have been of an exceedingly painful nature, his splendid physique will carry him through, and no permanent disability Will result. THE JURY_DISAGREES Mrs. Lane, of Anoka, Fails to Recover Anything- From the Syndicate. Complications in the Quinlan- King Case—The Good Templars. A Large Attendance at the Catholic Fair— The Irish- Americans. Lightest Output From the Mills Since Last Winter- Other News. THE SYNDICATE W1 NS « The Jury Cannot Agree, Though Favoring Mrs. Lane. The jury failed to agree in the case of Mrs. Nona M. Lane, of Anoka, against the gambling syndicate to recovery $660 her husband had lost against the bank. After an all-day session the court discharged the jury, which stood nine for Mrs. Lane and three for the syndicate. The day was oc cupied with testimony for the defense. Col. Tanner was not impli cated by any witness for the plaintiff, and was not called by the defense, but Col. Flannigan ahd Frank Shaw both swore they had no connection with the gambling room at 308 Nicollet Nov. 28. ', Carl Blake testified that at that time he was proprietor of the place, and rented it from the bookkeeper at the Columbia. Attorney Worrall. for the syndicate, made a Sunday school speech, in which he deplored the sad results of gambling and sympathized with the losers, but could not see how the syndicate had anything to do with it. M". P. Iloyne, in summing up for the plaintiff. was rather humorous. He paid the syndi cate a compliment as men, but roasted them emphatically as gamblers. As men they were square and truthful, but as witnesses against Mrs. Lane they were not to be relied upon. IT LOOKS SQUALLY. Singular Complications in the Qui King Case. The case of Quinlan and King, con victed of compounding a crime, came up before Judge Hicks yesterday on a motion for a new trial. Attorney Worrall appeared for the defendants and made their plea. County Attorney Davis, in replying, said the defense, at the close of the testimony for the state, had not moved to dismiss on account of no evidence to corroberate the state's witness, who was a confessed accomplice. This is a little singular, in view of the fact that the records of the case show the defense did make such a motion. There were three points made and re corded. The first was a motion to dismiss because "there was no evi dence for the court or a jury to convict these defendants, or either of them." Second, "There is no evidence before the court to show that Ueis wenger or Snyder, or Vanguard had committed a crime." Third, "There is no evidence that the defendant knew a a crime had been committed. The indictment against Beiswanger, charged him with having sold to King one glass of w :isky, whereas it was de veloped King nought beer and cigars. There is something very singular about this case, and apart from the fact that it will be taken to the supreme court, there may be some interesting develop ments on the outside. THE GOOD TEMPLARS. Reports for the Year Submitted and General Business Trans acted. The thirty-first annual session of the Good Templars Lodge of Minnesota was held yesterday at Plummer Post hall, with nearly 200 delegates present. The session opened with an address by Grand Chief Templar Quick, of St. Paul. He said, after detailing the work that had been done during the year: "That there lias not been as much work done during the past year as we desired and had intended to do is true. Sev eral circumstances have contributed to this end. Believing that it was better not to commence our work until the busy time in the fall was over, we ar ranged to commence in November. We had "but fairly got the work laid out and started when storms, bad roads and the immense snow blockades settled down over the state and seemed to shut out all idea of attempting to do business of any kind. The entire business of the whole state and Northwest seemed to be at a standstill. It was next to impos sible to do any traveling by rail, stage or otherwise." Mrs. K. L. ,- Pennimau, the grand secretary, reported that there were 101 lodges in good standing in the order, with a total membership of 3,835. The report of the treasurer showed the receipts for the year to have been $4,660.52, and the expenditures $4,0'J3, leaving a balance on hand of $567.52. The afternoon was entirely devoted to lodge affairs and to-day will be given to theelection of officers. The following is the present staff: G. C. T., H. B. Quick, St. Paul: G. V.

There was a larger attendance at the Catholic fair at Harmonia hall yester day than any day since the fair opened. Among the donations received yester day was an ivory-bound prayer book of very fine workmanship, which was sent to Father Kenny from Dublin; an ele gant table scarf, exquisitely embroid ered, sent to Mrs. E. L. Haunigan by Mother Seraphin. of St. Paul; a silver teapot from Reed & Dailey and a framed lithograph of the Savior from Frank llannin. The board of aldermen and other city officials took dinner at the fair yesterday by invita tion, and the Irish-American club are invited to dinner to-day. Some very fine music was rendered last evening by the choir of the Holy Rosary church, and was greatly enjoyed by the large audience which was present. The voting for - the silk flag which is being contested for by the Irish- American club and the Ancient Order of Hibernians is very brisk, as is also the voting for the fine bust of TltE SAINT PAUL' DAILY 'GLOBE: THURSDAY MOEl^a ; JTJNE 14, m& Pope Leo XIII., which was purchased by Father Daenau lt in Montreal. The managers of the fair provide a dinner every day from 13 to 2, and invite the public to call. FLOUR IS DULL, But Stocks Are Low, and an Im provement Is Expected. ; In reviewing the flour situation the Northwestern Miller will say:> The el fect of the present dull flour market was made very manifest in the output of last week. The output was the lightest since last winter, when low water re tarded operations. The total produc tion for tne week was 123.400 barrels averaging 20,507 barrels against 134,200 barrels the previous week, and 117,850 for the correspond ing time in 1887. With no improvement in the markets, the disposition to shut down grows l more pronounced every day. At the present time there are only thirteen milts in operation, against sev enteen a week ago, and they are pro ducing about 20,000 barrels per day. There is much shutting down and start ing up, as may be regulated by the re ceipt of orders, but the former is occur ring more than the latter, as is indi cated by the diminution of the produc tion. Next to the largest mill in the city, idle for two weeks past, was placed in operation Monday, as was also an other of 1,000 barrels capacity, but there . were more than enough smaller mills closed down to overbal ance this. Over one-third of the flour now being got out is produced by.one firm, and that one is storing heavily. Millers pronounce the flour market to be about the most lifeless of anytime since they have been in the business. There is virtually no export demand, and what few orders come in are scat tered well over this country. As stocks in the hands of jobbers are generally believed to be light, however, it is hoped that a change for the better will take place before long. The direct exports of flour were very light last week. There were only 23,400 bbls., against 35,000 bbls. the preceding week. THEO HAYS' BENEFIT. The Treasurer of the Peoples' Gets a Benefit, The benefit tendered Theodore Hays, treasurer of the People's theater, last evening, drew out a large and fashion able audience, which thoroughly en joyed the select and entertaining pro gramme, which included the char acter reading of "The Vagabonds," Miss Jennie O'Neil Potter, was well ren dered, and then followed vocal selec tions by the Minneapolis amateur opera quartette, Messrs. Heath, Harkins, Laye and Elliot. J. B. Brown next de livered Emmet's address to the jury with effectiveness, his appearance and delivery beinfe well adapted to the nature of the piece. A fencing contest, in which Henry Rippe, John Rabahn, Otto Huebner, Chris Boehme, Sam Flaum, Morris Flaum, of the West Minneapolis Turn veiren, participated. The recitation, "Asleep by the Switch," by Edwin Terry, was exceedingly well given. The balcony scene from "Romeo and Juliet," by Herschel Mayall. The sec ond act of "The Chimes of Normandy" concluded the pleasing entertainment. Mr. Hays was called out before the cur tain and presented with an elegant gold-headed umbrella by James Harrison on behalf of the ushers, who wished to pay him a personal tribute. Mr. Hays responded modestly to the ap plause that greeted him and returned thanks to those present for their attend ance and the patrons of the People's generally. The audience embraced many well known society people, and those occu pying boxes were J. W. Lawrence and family, Ole Rumheart, Miss Mayall, E. M. Wilson. Terrence Connolly and family, Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Sterling. The gentlemen of the Deshon Star Opeia company playing at the People's were entertained by the Commercial club last evening. "Woman's Work. The ladies' parlor of the West hotel was well filled yesterday afternoon with a large number of ladies interested in the department of women's work at the exposition. Mrs. E. R. Hoi brook, the superintendent of the department re cited at some length what was intended to be done, and suggested that all ladies having specimens of handiwork of an odd nature, or any specimens of art work, place them on exhibition. Mrs. M. B. Lewis also made a short address, in which she called on all ladies to turn in and make the department a success. Murder and Not Suicide. The officers who have been at work investigating the shooting of Charles F. Schoenert, a cigar maker, who was supposed to have suicided some time ago, claim to have found evidence which would indicate that the man was murdered, but they are exceedingly ret icent in regard to the matter. "We have positive evidence," said Frank McDonald, who took charge of the dead man's affairs, "that Mr. Schoenert could not have suicided, but we are not pre pared to say anything more about the matter. That all the insurance com panies are convinced that it could not have been suicide, is shown by the fact that all the claims will be paid." The Irish-American Club. The Irish- American club held a meet ing last evening, at which it was found that the receipts from its recent benefit of the People's theater amount to $400. The club will meet at 12 o'clock at its roams to-day and march in a body to Harmonia hall for dinner at St. Mary's hospital fair. MINNEAPOLIS GLOBULES. Bank clearings yesterday, 5002,481.76.

CREDITORS' MEETING CALLED Slow Collections at Home and Accounts Dae in the East Cause the Trouble. The large wholesale dry goods and , cloth firm of Shotwell, Clerihew & Loth man has suspended payment. The announcement made yesterday afternoon created considerable surprise and moire cominenfabout the city. It had been the general opinion that the firm ; was one of the solid jobbing institutions of Minneapolis, and the mercantile re ports had always placed its credit and rank very high. At this time no specific statement of the firm's condition can be made, though it is said arrangements may be made by which the trouble can be tided over and the collapse averted. Mr. Shotwell, the senior member of the firm, is now in New York arranging its financial affairs, and the first intimation of the trouble was a telegram from him yesterday. Mr. Clerihew and Mr. Loth man both say they had no idea the situation was so desperate until the receipt of this dis patch. Both claim that they are unable as well as unwilling to make any public statement until the arrival of Mr. Shotwell, but a meeting of the creditors has been called to consider the situation and take action. The senior member is expected home to-day with his stock of information, and the creditors' meeting will be held later. The cause of the trouble is believed to be primarily the inability to collect out standing accounts. The firm's business very largely consists of the manufacture of overalls, rough shirts and junipers, the raw material of which comes from the East. The cost of work is cash, as well as Eastern bills, but the accounts of customers have generally been .carried, so that it has been with the firm a constant outlay, without the corre sponding cash receipts. If the assets were available they would probably more than meet the liabilities. The firm has also carried a very heavy stock, which could only slowly be converted into cash. The books show heavy ac counts due the firm from Northwestern customers, which must necessarily be carried over until fall, or perhaps next year. One of the points of interest in con nection with the suspension is the fact that the firm had been boycotted on ac count of the recent strike of sewing girls, the particulars of which are still fresh in the public mind. Mr. Clerihew now claims that the boycott was in no way responsible for the present em bairassment, and that the sales for May, 18S8, were in excess of the sales for the same period last year. The firm had its own way in the matter of the strike, refusing to concede to the girls the restoration of lost fall's prices, or to submit the matter to * arbitration. The boycott has now been in force for three weeks, and, the labor organiza tions claim, has cut off many orders; • but, on the other hand, the firm claims its business has not suffered in the least, and that most of the striking girls have been taken back at the firm's own terms. The firm of Shotwell, Clerihew & Lothman has been in Minneapolis for about four years and enjoyed a fine business reputation. A. M. Clerihew has for two years been president of the Jobbers' union and has also been chief of the Caledonian club. The feeling in business circles, last night, was the hope that arrangements might be made with Eastern creditors by which a sus pension might be averted. STILL UNSETTLED. The Omaha Crossing on First .Street North Again. '£•■■s. • At the meeting of the council commit tee on roads and bridges, the proposi tion to allow the Omaha to cross First street north, between Plymouth and Fourth avenues, was again taken up, and action was again postponed, after a lengthy discussion, as the matter will go before the council without recom mendation. Ex-Aid. Pratt favored the granting of the ordinance. Mr. Young, of the firm of Carver, Young & Clark, also favored the scheme, and he said the North Minneapolis Improvement asso ciation favored it, and it comprised the representative people of that section of the city. Mr. Robinson, of Bardwell, Kobinson & Co., said unless the ordi nance was granted the manufacturers of North Minneapolis could not compete ? , with similar industries in other cities, it being impossible for them to get their goods shipped when desired and hence a great loss to capital invested would re sult. The matter of opening an alley in block 5, East Side addition to Minne apolis, was laid over for further consid- ; eration. The report of the court com missioner on the opening of Second av enue north, from Cedar Lake road to Perm avenue, was approved. The ordi nance granting the Omaha road permis sion to lay tracks across First street north, between Plymouth and Fourth avenues, was considered. THE T. P. A. Arrangements for a Royal Recep tion and Entertainment. The executive committee of arrange ments consisting of W. H. Ritchie, chairman; J. P. Browner-Aucher, sec retary; William M.Reagan, treasurer; and Sam T. Johnson is making ample preparations to offer the delegates to the national convention of the Travel ers' Protective association and their friends a royal time. The special trains bringing the delegates and their friends will arrive Monday evening and the Danz band will be on hand to act as an escort to the hotels. The indications are that the delegates will number 400, and there will be about 2,000 of ladies and gentlemen accompanying them, as indicated by the orders for rooms. Five hundred will come from Oainsville alone. Tuesday morning the reception exercises occur at the People's theater, to which the citizens will be generally ; invited, and at the conclusion of the business exercises a trip to Minnehaha Falls and a ride about the city, a moon light excursion to Minnetonka; also a banquet at the West hotel to be followed by a ball. The Hairlines' Thanks. The Lurline Boat club held a special meeting last evening at the boat house, Lake Calhoun, and unanimously adopted the following resolution: Resolved, That the sincere and hearty thanks of this club are hereby tendered to Col. John T. West for his great generosity in throwing open his ele gant hotel free of cost for the benefit ball for this club on the night of Oct. 26, 1887, whereby the munificent sum of $2,000 was realized as a nucleus towards the building fund of the new boat house. Resolved, That, as in Col. West the club has always found an enthusiastic member and liberal supporter, we take this means of publicly acknowledging the deep and lasting sense of gratitude which we feel toward him. Resolved, That it shall be our earnest endeavor in the future, still more than in the past, to merit the confidence and esteem of Col. West for the friendship he has so generously manifested toward this club. Revolvers and Knives. Quite a commotion was created at the Milwaukee depot, Minneapolis, at 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
