MINNEAPOLIS. TARIFF ON OYSTERS Considered at Yesterday's Meet- Ing of the Jobbers. At the meeting of the jobbers' union yesterday morning the question of freights was taken up, and in this con nection a communication was read from E. T. Le Clair, the local manager of the Baltimore Packing company. Mr. Le Clair read a letter from R. W» Baltic, of Wabpeton, N. D., calling at tention to a recent increase in rates of express companies for bulk oysters be tween Minneapolis and North Dakota points. Mr. Le Clair said that the recent Increase was of about 7J£ cents per gal lon, making" the total rate about 20 cents per gallon. The dealers of the North west could not put a price of 20 cents a gallon more than the Mir' /blis price and do business. Tbp -.niter was re ferred to the transportation committee. The following executive committee was chosen for the ensuing year: George 11. Partridge, T. B. Janney. J. C. Eliel, S. D. Woods Works. C. £. Dyer, J. B. Bushell, S. G. Palmer. The following standing committees were announced: Legislation -F. R. Salisbury, H. E. Carpenter, S. J. Murton, L. Longfellow, AY. C. Johnson. Transportation— O. C. Wyman, W. C. Gregg, E. G.

The board of charities and corrections held its regular monthly meeting yes terday and disposed of considerable business. The important question be fore the board was what provision could be made for assisting families needing and because of lack of work. At pres ent there is no regulation providing for the rendering of assistance unless there is sickness or some other misfortune in the family other than tack of work. Last mouth the poor department received 6G3 applications for help, and could relieve only 209 of them. It was Dually decided to send a com-, munication to the city council asking that body to co-operate with the board in devising some means of aiding the poor people out of employment. The budgets of the workhouse, city hospital and poor departments for No vember were approved. They were con siderably larger than usual in the latter two departments. SEVERAL GOOD PAPERS Read Before Annual Session of Christian Kndeavorers. The first general mass meeting of the season of the Minneapolis Christian Endeavor union was held at Plymouth church last evening. Four addresses were delivered, the general subject being "The Four Forward Movements." The programme included an address by Rev. William Hanson on the -'Pro motion of Good Literature," a paper by Rev. Dr. Hoyt on the "Promotion of Good Citizenship," an address by Key. A. B. Nichols on the "Promotion of Systematic and Proportionate Giving," and a screed by Key. George H. Wells on the "Broadening of Our Interde nominational Fellowship." The attendance was large and the proceedings were attended with the utmost interest. ANOTHER LARGE CLUE. Menage Is Again Located, This Time in San Salvador. According to the latest Information, vice the Evening Pad, the fugitive Menage has actually been located in Salvador. By the same authority Mrs. Menage is still in Guatemala, where the Guaranty Loan wrecker was first dis covered by the Pad (sic) and by the same token the two Minne apolis sleuths, Sheriff Ege and Winn Brackett, are to return to Minneapolis in the event nothing further is learned from Minister Baker by the latter part of this week. The Pad is nothing if not veracious, and in the event that there was anything in the latest information, now that it has tipped off -its hand, Mr. Menage may skip to a more congenial clime, and "Blotting Pad Ike" can take up another scent. TO CONTROL PRICES. A Combine of Threshing Machine Owners to Push Business. A meeting of the threshing machine owners of the Northwest was held yes terday afternoon at the office of the Minneapolis Threshing Machine com pany. Their object is to further perfect an association by which they can con trol prices of work done by threshing machines and men In the Northwest. The movement is championed by G. Sherman, of Sioux Falls, who stated that, during the past season, threshing machine owners and men materially hurt the work by laboring in the thresh ing fields below living prices. The threshing machine companies were represented to give advice, and have promised to aid the movement in every way possible. An exclusive ac count of the movement appeared some days ago in the Globe, and, judging by the success of yesterday's meeting, the movement is bound to be a success. Deserving of Mercy. Late yesterday afternoon the grand jury took up the case of Mary French, the clerk at the Glass block charged with stealing jewelry. It is reported that the grand jury will be lenient with the woman in view of the distressing circumstances of herself and family. DJust a little Gumption, /**V\. 'VV i f 'l (C.

SCHEIG CONFESSES HIS GUILT. Says He Has Come Back to Take His Medicine— He Exonerates Bofferding, the Suicide, . and Denies Stories About Him and Mrs. Flo d — Frank Floyd Is Reticent. Phil Scheig, the defaulting, teller of the Bank of Minneapolis, and Frank Floyd, his alleged accomplice, arrived in Minneapolis at 1:45 p. m, yesterday, after an absence ot more than three months. . They were in the custody of Detectives Hoy and Lawrence, who brought them back here from England. They came up from Chicago on the Milwaukee train due at 12:45 p. m„ but it was one hour late. Upon alighting from the train at the Milwaukee depot, Scheig and Floyd were conducted to a closed carriage and driven up to the central police station. Their names were entered in the book and the. words "grand larceny" written opposite . each name. Scheig was then shown to a cell up stairs, and Floyd was assigned one in the men's quarters on the ground floor. In view of the fact that Phil Scheig is an indicted man, a good many people wondered why he was not taken to the county jail, where he properly belongs. Both men were locked in their cells, and assumed that nothing further would be done until today. When the Milwaukee train pulled, into the St. Paul depot, shortly after 1 p. m., the newspaper men boarded it before it stopped. Some of them tum bled over each other In their anxiety to catch the first glimpse of the prisoners and exchange the first greeting. Seated in the forward end of the Pullman car were the detectives and their men. Hoy sat beside Scheig, and Lawrence was in the same seat with Frank Floyd. Lieut. Gov. D. M. Clough, who had met ihe party at Chicago, was standing in the aisle of the car. After greetings had been extended on all sides, the newspaper men sat down to talk to Scheie and Floyd. Scarcely a dozen words had been spoken when Phil Scheie's father entered the car from the forward end. As the old gentleman appeared in the passageway, Phil sprang from his seat, and, rushing toward his father, grasped his hand. Father and son kissed each other, and tears rushed to their eyes as they did so. It was a pathetic meeting. Scheig and Floyd both looked wor ried. Seheig's thin features were hag gard, and Floyd's smooth, round face was pale. Neither wore expensive or seasonable clothes for this climate. Floyd was much averse to talking to re porters. While they were interviewing film, he affected to scan a newspaper, and answered all questions in a hesitat ing, ill-at-ease, Fd.rather-not-comuiic myself manner. He was very courteous, however, and as soon as the scribes as sured him that they had no desire to injure him, Mr. Floyd said: "1 would rather not verify any state ments that have been made, or deny any. I will only say that when I left Minneapolis 1 didn't know Scheig had stolen any money. 1 didn't know any thing about his affairs until I saw the newspapers in New York city." To a Globe man, Floyd afterwards said at the central station: "While 1 found out in New York that Scheie was wanted in Minneapolis, 1 was induced to sail with him on the Saale for other reasons entirely." "What reasons?" was asked. "They will come out at the trial," an swered Floyd. Both men spoke in the most grateful terms of the kind and considerate treat ment they had received at the hands of Detectives Hoy and Lawrence. They had been given the freedom of the ship on the way over and subjected to no indignities from the time they were ar rested iv England, for which they also thanked C. A. Gillig, president of the United States exchange in London. Scheie was not disposed to be com municative at first, but, after a brief consultation with Mr. Clough" and De tective Hoy, he consented to make a statement. This is what Mr. Scheig said: "1 am guilty of the offense with which lam charged. 1 took the money. How much? Well, Mr. Clough will tell you all the details. 1 have come back to take my medicine, arid I am glad to get back. lam in the hands of the people now." "Is it true, Mr. Scheie:, that you left Minneapolis to get rid of your wife?" "No sir, it is not. I love her today, and we always lived happily together. I didn't desert her." "What is there in the report of inti mate relations between you and Mrs. Floyd?" "Nothing at all," answered Scheig positively. "Our relations were only such as resulted from my friendship with her boys." "Is it true that you agreed to pay Mrs. Floyd's expenses in Paris for three years?" "No, not for so long a time as that,but I did promise to support her there for a while. You see 1 had frequently fur nished the Floyd boys money, and oc casionally gave some to Mrs. Floyd. I treated her as one of the family." "Did she ever give you any money?" "Never in the world." Scheig was then questioned about the late cashier, William Bofferding, who committed suicide. "Mr. Bofferding," exclaimed Scheig with considerable energy, "was an honest man. He was in no way re sponsible for my behavior. He "shot himself because he became despondent over the condition of the bank after the defalcation. He had practically man aged the affairs of the bank and felt that he would be held responsible." "It has been charged that you and Mr. Bofferding used to gamble at cards. Is that so?" "No, sir, it is not. I never played but one game of cards with Mr. Bofferding in my life, and that was at my father's house. No," reiterated Scheie, "Bof ferding was an honest man; besides, he was too well off to be tempted to steal." Scheig pointedly refused to talk about the alleged complicity of the Floyd boys. In answer to every conceivable form of question, lie would answer: "That is their affair. Everything will come out in the trial." Scheig denied that he made any fight when arrested. He said that Floyd of fered some resistance, but as for pull ing a gun, that was not true, because neither of them casried a gun except in their satchels. Scheig offered no ex planation for the act except the general one of temptation. Frank Floyd was induced to talk again before reaching Minneapolis, and, asked why he left New York after he knew that the police were after Scheig, he said: "I was so drunk all the time I was there 1 didn't realize what 1 was doing." Floyd admitted that he resisted the Scotland Yard officers because they grabbed hiru wheu he was in the act of tearing up some papers and letters from his mother. When the train arrived in Minneapolis a large crowd had gathered in the depot yard, and as the detectives and their two prisoners passed alone the walk the mob gazed at the young men with vulgar curiosity. Mrs. Floyd met Frank the instant he alighted from the train.* She threw her arms about his neck and kissed him. Then they all hurried out to the carriage in waiting, and were driven up to the central station. Mr. Clough said that $20,000 iv round numbers would cover the amount taken. Asked if the bank intended to press the charge, Mr. Clough answered: • "The bank has nothing to do with the matter now. The men have been brought back, and they are now in the bands of the law." . SCHEIG VISITS HIS MOTHEB. '."•- About « o'clock last evening Schoig THE SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE: WEDNESDAY MORNING, DEOEflßES^iji, 1893. expressed a desire to see his mother,' who is too ill to leave her bouse. Ac cordfugly, Scheig was taken r. to his father's.; home on Chestnut avenue in the custody of officers. Mrs." Scheig was very weak, and when Phil entered the room where she sat she fainted away. After she had recovered the two talked together for about half an hour- Scheig was taken back to the lock-up at 10 p. m. Several of his friends called upon, him between that hour and mid night' r- '**■,-;: "HOW IT WAS DONE," And What a Good Time the De- tectives Had Abroad. When Detectives . Hoy and Lawrence walked into police headquarters yester day their first appearance there caused a great commotion among the "boys." They were greeted heartily and noisily, and their hands well nigh shaken off. "An' ow is hold h'England, h'any way,'? asked Capt. Hem, with the most approved English accent. "Hits h'ajl right, Chappie, hold boy," answered Mr. Hoy. "And what's the matter with the English clothes," exclaimed another officer, pointing at the two detectives; and sure enough they were togged out in stylish and substantial overcoats and suits, which they were enabled to buy while out of the clutches of a robber ariff. . "We staid on the other side seven days," said Detective Lawrence, "and there was no red tape about getting pos session of our prisoners. We were splendidly treated, and saw all the sights in Loudon. We went to Paris, too " "Paris is a more beautiful city than London, ain't it," asked a bystander. "No, sir. give me London every time. Say, John," appealing to Mr. Hoy, "ain't the girls prettier in London?" After it was explained to Mr. Law rence that the question referred to the architecture and the streets of Paris, he admitted that that city had the advant age. But both officers were enthusiastic over England. "We have been gone," said Detective Hoy, "a litte over six weeks. We had an awful tough chase after those fel lows. We followed them from Oakdaie, Term., to Chattanooga. They had twenty-four days the start of us, and we were compelled to drive over the territory with a team, night and day, rain and shine. From Chattanooga the three went to Atlanta. Ga. From there they shipped their goods to Augusta, G'a., and afterwards, sent them to Charleston, S. C. Then they pro ceeded to Richmond, Va., and from there to Jersey City, shipping their goods as they traveled. From Jersey City they went to Brook lyn. It was here that we were almost stumped. They had only three days start of us, but It took us a long while to find the truckman who carried their outfit. We found him at last, and dis covered that the stuff had been taken to Martin's store, in Brooklyn, and from there removed to the Wads worth, a ship bound for Brazil. They' boarded the Wadsworth, which broke down outside the harbor and had to put back. The rest of the story is known. When they got back to the city, they found that the pol ; ce were after them, so two of them sailed in the Saale, while Lou Floyd stayed behind, and was about to cross on another line when we arrested him." Mr. Kirby, of the Bank of Minneapo lis, accompanied Detectives Hoy and Lawrence throughout their entire trip across the Southern country, and also met them at New York on their return from England, and came back as far as Chicago with the party, where Lieut. Gov. Clough met them. The bank has borne the entire ex pense of the chase, capture and return of the three accused men. The cash and personal property recovered will foot up §10,000 or more, which is half the amount Scheig took. * The case will probably be called to the attention of the grand jury today. M'ALLISTER'S BLUFF. Grand Jury Failed to Find Public Gambling. ■- The grand jury spent several hours yesterday inquiring into the gambling evil, and concluded, after hearing the testimony of Mayor Eustis, some news paper men and Aid. McAllister, who insists that public gambling is going on in Minneapolis, that there was no foundation for the charge, and will probably drop the matter entirely. The jury is anxious to know who furnished Aid. McAllister with the famous list of alleged gambling resorts. It is rumored that au individual formerly connected with the police department prepared the list, and it is possible he may be subpoenaed today. Aid. Rollins was also questioned by the grand jury. No positive evidence of the existence of public gambling was given. 1 PURIFY THE AIR. And Give the Unfortunate a Chance for Their Life. Health Commissioner Kelley has ex amined the "tramp" room in the base ment of the central station aud pro nouuces it unhealthy, in consequence of the poor ventilation.' The cold weather drives the unfortunates under cover, and as many as 116 men slept In the place the other night. There were not more than half a dozen professional tramps in the lot. As a consequence the air within the room becomes danger ously vitiated. Dr. Kelley will place fumigating lamps in the room until other arrangements can be made or other quarters secured. The air had become so foul that the officers at the lock-up made the complaint. THE LOYAL LEGION MEETS At the West Hotel— Gov. Austin Reads a Paper. The Loyal Legion, commandery of Minnesota, met at the West hotel last evening. Supper was served at 7:30 p. m., after which ex-Gov. Horace Austin, First regiment Minnesota ' mounted rangers, U. S. V., read a most interest ing paper entitled "The Inkpaduta Out break and the Sioux War of 1862-3." The attendance was large, In spite of the severe weather, aud any quantity of bright and witty speeches were made. He Seized the Opportunity. Frank Nelson called last evening on Mrs. Dr. Thomas, whose office is on Sixth street, between Third and Fourth avenues south, and while the doctor was consulting with a patient, Nelson seized the opportunity and the patient's over coat and ran out of the house. He sped down to Washington avenue south and entered a pawn shop, where he at tempted to dispose of the coat. He wanted ?5 at first and then agreed to accept $3. Officer Averill, in the meantime, had shadowed Mr. Nelson, and just as he was about to close the deal, nabbed him and took him to the lock-up. '.:*'.- "Who Fractured His Skull? A man named John Scodada died yes terday morning at 1830 Eighth avenue north of a fractured skull. Scodada re ceived the injury a few days ago at Spooner, Wis. It is thought that some body assaulted him. The body was taken to the morgue, and the matter will be investigated. /">A' Valuable Acquisition. Byron W.

H. Wood Produce Company, the well-known grain brokers in the Guaranty Loan building, . Minneapolis, i have just issued their regular monthly ' market letter and their annual Christ mas letter. The latter is entirely com plimentary in its nature, being a discus sion of the : present financial situation, with tbe usual compliments of the sea son to the firm's correspondents. Mr. Wood suggests the issuing of currency^ bills in place of gold and silver certifi cates and national batik notes, these currency notes to be redeemable In part gold and part silver, and his basis for issuing these is similar to the pres ent national banking system, excebt that he would have good county, state arid city bonds, as well as United State's bonds, good for deposit, aud any person - or corporation could deposit these with the government and get currency bills. - : ; Under the present system only banks could do this, but under Mr. Wood's plan any of our large trust companies, or even mercantile houses, owning good bonds and having immediate use for a large amount of currency," could, avail themselves of the government mints. Mr. Wood also suggests the turning over of the railroad and telegraph sys tems to the government, or at least the trunk lines. :'-'--v-' : '*'?it.,vv;^ The plan is worthy of consideration, and if discussed thoroughly might bring a desirable solution to the present financial problem. ; The monthly market letter Is also a valuable sheet, giving, as it does, the world's available simply of wheat, com-: pared with December one year ago, and much other valuable information for the grain trade. S Five thousand copies of this letter are issued and sent to the grain trade all over the United States and Europe every month. Mr. Wood says their letter next month will be the best they have ever issued. It will contain the world's supply cor rected to date, and will tell what has be come of the visible during December, and January. It will also give the earliest news regarding the new crop. A Sudden Death. . Yesterday about 1 p. m. a chamber maid employed at the Wilber house, on First street north between Hennepin and First avenues, knocked on the door of the room occupied by D. L. Lamb, a regular boarder. Receiving no answer, she opened the door and saw Lamb lying on the bed, apparently uncon scious. It turned out that he was dead. he was last seen Monday night, just before he went to bed." Lamb was about fifty years ot age, and was in the em ploy of the Western Union Telegraph company. Au autopsy will be held today. - The Minnesota Loan & Trust Co. Allow five per cent interest on bix mouths' deposits. The. Policemen Are in It. , The mayor was waited upon yester day by a committee of the Central Trades council, regarding the benefit entertainment for Hie unemployed by the "Blue Jeans" company at the Grand the latter half of next week. The com mittee requested permission for the po licemen to sell tickets for the three per formances. Mayor Eustis willingly granted the permission asked, and the tickets will be placed in the hands of the policemen at once. '•" An Athletic Combine. It looks now as if a general combine is contemplated between the several athletic societies of the university. At a meeting of the University Base Ball association, held yesterday morning, a committee consisting of Messrs. Pa quin, C. Larson and North way was ap pointed to confer with similar commit tees from the' other athletic organiza tions of the U In regard to the advisa bility of consolidating all branches of athletics under one organization. This, it is thought, will do away with many or all ot the objectionable features of the present system . Mr. Billiter Objects. Frank Billiter, the well known hill iardistof Minneapolis, takes exception to his name being used in connection with the proposed tournament at the new rooms of Logan & Palmer. When seen by a Globe repurter last night, Mr. Billiter said that he did not care to have his name used, but that he is willing to play Palmer personally at any time that may be decided upon. MINNEAPOLIS GLOBULES. The regular meeting of the Minneap olis Homeopathic Medical society will be held at the Dayton buildiug at 8 o'clock this evening. ;_ \ MEXICAN TROUBLES. Revolutionists Reported to Have Hanged Gen. Vilada. El Paso, Tex., Dec. 12.— letter has just been received here from a man now in the state of Guerrero, who is engaged in the disturbance headed by Gen. Ca nute Neri. He says Gen. Neri has not surrendered, and his troops have not been desertinrr him. On the coutrary, the revolutionists have recently cap tured and hanged Gen. Vincente Vil ada, of the federal army, formerly a supreme court judge. The revolution ists dealt thus summarily with Gen. Vilada because the federal troops have hanged the few insurgents they have captured, and left their bodies to rot In the air. The writer of this letter, who was formerly editor of a paper in San Antonio, says that the report that Gen. Neri has been captured is entirely base less, and has been circulated "for the purpose of discouraging his friends in other states. This statement is in accord with that of the Mexican official who said that Gen. Neri was on his way by sea to San Francisco. Gov. Ahumadals again in Juarez, and spent a part of today in this city. In an interview with an afternoon paper, he said thut if he could . hear of any dis turbance in Chihuahua he would send' out his drum major to quell it.-When asked why his government had 600 troops in the mountains north and west of the city of Cniliuahua, where it usu ally has none, he made no answer. United States Consul Theodore Hus ton today forwarded a dispatch to " the state department setting forth the claim that the Mexican government in pro scribing the Times has violated interna tional law, and done violence to a bus iness enterprise that has a right to the protection of this government. The matter is growiug in Importance to other newspapers, inasmuch as Mexican official papers are printing the stroueest denunciations of the whole North Amer ican press, Indicating that all I papers that publish news of the revolution are liable to the same treatment that has been accorded to the Times. In fact, it is possible other papers have been pro scribed, and they will not know it until their subscribers begin to file com plaints, as no official notice is served in such cases. - -.'."•; '^'.
