THE Sc. LOUIS CASHIER.
1t is Now Thought He Made Away
With $4,000.

With $4,000.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, July 15.-Mr. Charles
Greedy, the largest stakeholder of the Prov
ident savings bank, which failed yesterday,
makes the following statement as to how
the event was brought about:
When the board Of directors counted the
cashiers reserve fund two weeks ago, pre-
paratory to declaring their dividends, they
found $1,000 in the bank vaults. The night
Waterman Informed me last evening that Mr.
Thompson entered tue bank building on Sat
urday evening at aboat 1880 o'clock and it
was undoubtedly then that the cashier saited
$4,000 of the fund in his pocket and the
greatest surprise to me is that he did not an
propriate the rest of it. The first discovery
OF the shortage was made last Friday by me-
and it came like this: Mr.. Swain, the acting
president of the bank, on that day came to
my place Of business and informed me that
the directors had just loaned Thompson
$4,000 on 100 shares OF the Crystal Plate
Glass company's stock, which he
had deposited as collateral
Now, am director Of that corporation and
had assisted in the disbursements of divi-
dends, and l was in position to know that
Thompson did not hold 100 shares of stock
Going Immediately to our treasurer, Mr.
Barnes, had him furnish me list OF the
stockholders. In this list | found on Oct 9,
1855, certificate numbered 378, calling for
one share of the capital stock, had been is
sued to Almond B. Thompson. 1 called the
attention of the board of directors to this,
but Thompson explained that the other nine
ty-nine shares had been transferred to him
and not yet delivered. He said if the board
demanded it he would return the amount OF
the loan on Monday. When he did not show
up on Monday my fears received a substan-
tial acknow ledgmeut of his crookeduess.
went to the bank and by means of micro
scope detected very plainly that the certifi-
cate had been raised from one share to 100
and that the date had also been altered.
Further examination of his books showed
that his rascality had been going on since
1883. Since that time he has carried a fraud
ulent entry on the foreign exchange account,
invol Ting $4,000 His total shortage will
doubtless amount to $4,000. I agree with
the receiver, however, that the depositors
will be paid in full, even ut the expense of
the stockholders. The bank will never resume
operations.

The head NgilIers, Jaunt.

The head millers having accepted the invi-
tation of the Manitoba road to enjoy an e1
cursion at its expense, several members are
mapping out programs. One, which makes
Winnipeg the objective point, is as follows;
Leave Minneapolis for Devils Lake on the
evening of Wednesday, Aug. IS. and reaching
that place at 4:30 p. m. Thursday. Leaving
Devils Lake at 10 a. IN, stop at Grand Forks
on the night of Aug. 20. Proceeding thence
to Winnipeg, spend Saturday night and part
of Sunday there. On the return the run
could be made direct to Minneapolis, reach
ing here Sunday, or . stop be made at Fargo,
and get home Monday. The trip will afford
the members of the Head Millers' association
an exceptional opportunity for a few days
recreation, and will be participated in by
large and representative party. A special
meeting of the association may be called next
week in relation to the matter.

ANOTHER WANDERERS BACK.
After "a Long Trip, Mrs. Renshaw
ReturDs VOIWDtariIY.

Returns Voluntarily.
Yesterday there was great rejoicing at
the residence of Mr.. S. B. Williams, 307
Eighth street south. From this house the
morning of July Mrs. Fannie Renshaw
wife of Rev. Mr.. Renshaw of Plainview,
and niece of Mr. Williams, disappeared
while laboring under mental depression.
No trace of her could be obtained, and as
the lady had acted i'll somewhat peculiar
manner for several days previous, it was
thought that she had destroyed herself
The matter was placed in the hands of the
police and notices were sent i'll every
direction.
Yesterday morning the door opened and
in walked Mrs. Renshaw. pale and worn
and but ghost of her former self She
was cared for Immediately, and last
night was in a comfortable con-
dition. Her mind is almost blank, and
she remembers nothing further than that
she has been up in the Lake Superior
region, and has travelled from one town to
another III an ainleSs manner. Three or
four days ago, she says an intense longing
came over her to be at home once more, and
for Minneapolis she started, arriving here
early i'll the morning. 1t appears that she
had considerable amount of money in her
pocketbook when she disappeared, and with
this aid she found no difficulty in going
from place to place, as her fancy dictated.
MI RenShaw was seen last evening and
stated that he was looking now for an im-
provement III his Wifes condition.

THE COUNCIL C0Mm1TTEEs.
Property Owners Kfcking---The
Railroad Crossing Again.

A protest from certain Nicollet island
property owners against the laying of a
main in Maple street on the island was con-
sidered by the council committee on water
yesterday. The main, if laid in the street,
will not be sufficiently handy to series of
''outside" lots and the owners of the lots
desire to have its location changed. Acting
under the advice of the city engineer, who
states that the property through which the
main must pass. if the proposed change is
made, cannot be assessed the committee
will favor carrying out the work as ordered
by the council.
The railroad committee of the council in
secret session yesterday afternoon, dis
cussed again the subject of lowering the
grades of streets leading to North Minneap-
oils which are covered by railroads. The
committee failed to formulate any new
proposition relative to the matter, and find
ing the advice OF j. j. Hill necessary before
any definite action can be taken, appointed
subcommittee to confer with that gentle
man, There will be another joint COM
mttee conference on the underground con-
duit ordinance this morning at 10 o'clock.

sioner Foote employed arguments used
years ago against reducing the hours down
to ten. The more man is paid, as rule,
the shorter the hours he has to work. In
the offices of the city hall the employees
only work seven hours day. No business
can be done in the city hall until o'clock
II the morning. Mr. Glenn would not re-
greet if every contractor laying water pipe
should throw up the contracts, and the
work turned over to the engineer OF the
board. The resolution was lost, Mayor
Ames and Commissioner Glenn alone vot-
ing ayes. Superintendent Henion reported
the result of his visit to the national water
works convention held in Denver and said

THE WATER BOARD.
The Fig ht-HOur and Anti-Cataract
Resolutions Defeated.

n AC
Resolutions Defeated.
At the water board meeting, last even
ing, after routine business was over, bids
were received for building all addition of
one story to the pumping station. The
mayor suggested that the city does the
work itself, but Commissioner Andrews
disapproved of the scheme, and favored
advertising for more bids and moved to
that end. Commissioner Glenn thought
the fact inaSmuch as the committee on con-
StructiOn had been authorized to act in the
premises and had so obtained bids from To-
cal mechanics. it would hardly be the cor
rect thing for the board to refer them back
to the bidders unopened and advertise for
new proposals. Commissioner Andrews
withdrew his motion and the bids were
opened. Both Commissioner Foote and
Farnham esteemed the bids too high and
Commissioner Glenn moved that they be
rejected, and the motion prevailed, and the
secretary was instructed to advertise
for proposals TO be reported at
the meeting next Thursday night.
The superintendent reported til at there is
now due on account Of money advanced
for laying water mains the sum OF 81, 176.
Referred to the committee on claims and
accounts.
THE EIGHT-HoUR SYSTEM.
The special committee to whom had been
referred the resolution to the effect that all
improvements in charge of the department
hereafter be done by the day, and not by
contract, and the wages be not less than
61.5O per day, reported back the matter
without recommendation. Commissioner
Glenn moved the adoption of the resolution.
Commissioner Foote disapproved Of the
proposed eight-hour system and also of the
resolution. Considering the brief occasion
in which to accomplish the work, he doubted
if the water mains contemplated could be
laid. He furthermore stated that many of
the present employees of the board receive
$1.75 and $500 day. 1t could be of no
benefit to these men to cut the hours down.
Commissioner Glenn come at once to the
rescue Of the resolution. He said Commits

WILL DIVIDE THE PROPERTY
A Decision by Judge Rea Which
Makes One Woman Happy.


By decision of Judge Rea, made yes
terday, another family feud of long standing
was brought to an end, and lady who has
long been denied her rights made happy.
The decision was made in the case of Mary
F. Quinn against Anna a. Gallagher to
have certain deed made by Mrs. King,
Mary Quinn's mother, set aside, and was
to the effect that the deed be set aside and
that the two ladies receive an equal share
of the estate. Prior to Mrs. Kings death
Mary was the one who stayed at home and
made her last hours comfortable, while
Mrs. Gallagher married and went away to
live. The deed gave all the property to
Mrs. Gallagher. however, and to recover
some of it Miss Quinn brought suit. In
his findings Judge Rea decided that Mrs.
King had not authorized the deed in any
manner and that therefore it was not legal.

For number of weeks past ''con' men
and crooks have been swarming into the city
from Chicago, St. Louis and other cities,
probably in response to the repeated asser-
tious of the Minneapolis papers that no po-
lice protection is offered either citizens or
property. AS fast as they have arrived they
have beon spotted and warned to leave. AS
most of them refused to appear prominently
in public and sought seclusion tho police
have had some trouble in running them down.
Most of them have needed the advice rendered
them by the detectives, and the city has been
almost entirely freed from their obnoxious
presence. Last night Marshall Nye' and
several other fine workers, who were discov-
cred to be still lingering, were arrested and
locked up. They will probably be arraigned
in the police court and dealt with vigorously.
