A VALUABLE DOCUMENT.
Secretary Sturtevant Issues INC
Chamber of Commerce Report

Secretary Sturteyant Issues the
Chamber of Commerce Report
The report for 1885 of the Minneapolis
chamber of commerce just completed oy
Secretary G. c. Sturteyant is valuable
addition to the public documents of the
city. In every respect it is greatly super
ior to any previous report and VIII compare
favorably with the works of similar CHI ar
acter issued from much larger cities. Its
utter reliability and its comprehensive
statistics combine to make IL especially
desirable. Besides giving an elaborate and
exhaustive statement of the grain trade of
Minneapolis, which is its chief feature, it
gives the general city trade, the volume of
railroad and banking business, comparative
statements of other cities, and judicious
mention of many other matters of interest
to business men everywhere Withal, it is
a highly creditable report in every respect
and detail.
In his report to the chamber the secre-
tary congratulateS the members on the sue
cess attendant upon the establishment, on
the floor, of a grain trading center.
The progress made during the year Just
closed has been most marked and encouT-
aging, the daily attendance on change during
the business hours has more than doubled,
tue dSNANt membership Ol the dsSOSidilOu uets
been largely increased by the acquisition of
firms not previously doing business on the
floor. The volume of business transacted on
the floor has increased four-fold during the
year, millers in the city and country who in
previous years made no purchases on change
have become large buyers, and the business
OF the chamber has assumed permanent
character which its most sanguine friends
did not anticipate at so early date. Mime
apolis, by the efforts of this organization,
becomes recognized us holding the first rank
as a wheat and -four market in America.
Until the present year the Press association
of the country had refused to recognize this
city or its chamber by giving its market a
place in its commercial reports, and the New
York Pre- ice exchange refused to recognize
il by giving its stock of wheat place in the
''visible supply" 1t required much and per-
sistent labor on the part Of committees of the
chamber TO secure either of these recogni-
tions, and the New York produce exchange
persisted in the refusal until they had sent a
special committee to investigate. The result
was full and fair recognition of our rank as
the chief wheat market of the country.
The secretary adds that since the annual
report of the treasurer for the last fiscal
year. the directors have placed S12. 600 in
the sinking fund. The building is to be
rented and the surplus income will be ample
to meet the bonded debt when due.

BIG MILLS SHUT DOWN
And Smaller Ones Running--FIour
Output Light.

In its issue due to-day the Northwestern
Miller will sum up the -four situation as
follows:
There was quite a heavy decrease In the
-four output last week, due to less capacity
being in operation. The water power for the
mills running averaged very good the week
through, and no steam was brought into
use. The production of the week was rs, 020
barrels-averaging 1850 barrels daily
against 81, 800 barrels the preceding week.
and "a, 300 barrels for the corresponding time
in 1885. majority of the mills are running,
or attempting to run this week, fifteen being
in motion at noon to-day, but the water was
quite low and they were not getting along
very smoothly. The water on Monday main
tanned good stage, but Tuesday and up TO
this noon it got very low and few of the mills
could keep on more than half feed. One
feature of the situation is that of the eight
mills idle, six have a capacity of 1000 each
or over. The total capacity in operation is
1855 barrels, and that idle 1880 barrels.
One mill is using its engine to help out its
water wheel. A weaker wheat market has
been the cause of -four becoming less active
than week ago, though millers are looking
for better market and are maintaining
prices. The exports of -four from Minueap-
oils for February were 1898 barrels, against
1920 barrels for January.

THE COMMUNICATIONS CASE.
The Approaching Election Casts Hts
Shadows Before It.

At last nights session of the city council
Aid. Walsh brought up the matter of the
Crowley family which had been investi-
gated by the poor commissioners. 1t was
the case in which Supt. Williams was
charged with gross negligence in caring for
the Crowley family. Aid. Walsh moved
that the report be called for. He thought
that it was privilege question.
President Clark-There is no report before
the house.
Aid. Walsh-Well, / ask for the report.
Aid. Pratt explained. The board of SUPER
visors of the poor had meeting and dis
cussed the question. A special committee
submitted majority and a minority report.
The former exculpated the superintendent
and the other held that officer culpable.
Aid. johnson thought the board of SUPER
visors should be brought in contempt for
neglect of duty. He had never known of a
report coming from the board which is COM
posed of one alderman FROM each ward and
the mayor.
Aid. Pratt moved that the question go on
the table until the second Tuesday in April,
or until after election, thereby implying that
the question was political one.
The city attorney held that the board is no {
a committee of the council, it being an indie
pendent board.
Aid. Johnson-But it is a standing commit
tee of this council, and 1t is accountable 10
this council.
Aid. Haugan said the supervisors had al
ways been considered a committee of the
council, and should report.
Aid. Pratt alleged that the Crowley case
had been the only case that had ever come
before the board requiring a report. The
mayori is chairman, and all reports are sub
mitted to him. The main business is passing
upon bills which have to come before the
committee on claims.
Aid. Walsh then presented a written mo-
ton that the board of supervisors be re-
quested to make a report at the next meeting
of the city council. The motion prevailed.

N WAS not suicide.

Yesterday Coroner Hill had post-mortem
examination held upon the remains OF Annie
Whitehorn, who died mysteriously on Mon
day night, and developed the fact that the
girl came TO her death from cerebral menin-
gifts. However. the error fallen into that
she had committed suicide was quite natural,
and therefore pardonable. The superficial
indications were quite similar TO poisoning.
The girls life has beena ad.oue. Her father
died when.quite young and her mother married
a Mr.. Whitehorn, a tinsmith. Five mouths
ago she, too, died, leaving the girl in the
charge of an unsympGthetic and unkind step
father. The girl soon left the paths OF rec
titude and sought the shelter OF a bagnio on
First street. From that house she married
a carpenter from whom she parted in one
month, returning to a house of ill-fame.

HE HAD TWO WIVES.
Stephen Reid. Charged with Big
amy, VALVES an Examina ton.

Stephen Reid was arrested yesterday
at the instance of his wife on a warrant
charging bigamy. Her story, briefly told.
is that about four years ago she met Reid
as ''soldier boy" out in one of the terrific
ries. After a short cOurtship they were
united in wedlOck and removed to Mime
apoliS. She also states that Reid left the
army without a discharge, deserving his
post. The marital felicity was Of very
brief duration. Frequent domestic quarrels
led to a separation and an estrangement.
Soon after the nuptials of Reid and Miss
Annie T.. Allen were celebrated, and two
months subsequent the bride gave birth to
child. Mrs. Allen, mother of wife No. 2,
then explained that, contrary to the desires
of her parents, the young couple
Reid being but % years of age
now and the last wife two years
younger-had been clandestinely married
seven months prior to the public announce
ment. Mrs. Reid No. fails to state her
reason for delaying action so long, further
than the claim that the second marriage
had been sOlemniZed some time before she
knew 1t.
Reid was arraigned in the municipal
court yesterday and waived an eXamina-
ton. His bail was fixed at $500, in default
of which he was remanded. He has for
some time been employed as brakeman On
the Manitoba railway.
In the cell yesterday he said that he had
married Miss Allen under a misappre-
hensOn. He stated that he met his wife a
few months after their separation, and
after her return from the East, and she said
to him that she had procured an absolute
divorce from him, and was free to do as
she pleased. He took it for granted that
she spoke literally, and that the divorce
had been procured in an Eastern city.
