HERE'S A HOW DE DO.
a Methodist Minister Gone Wrong

Serious Charges Against Him.
The Methodist conference which meets
in Minneapolis Oct. will investigate the
scandal concerning Rev. John Walton of
st. Paul, who is charged with having COM
mitted rape upon young girl employed in
his family when he lived at Wadena. A
conference has just been held in this city
in relation to the matter, and sensational
developments are expected when the NJ. E.
conference takes hold of the matter The
girl in the case positively refused to testify
against the man. but he was indicted by
the criminal court and found guilty, but
was granted new trial. The matter was
brought up in the conference last fall but it
was decided to wait and see what
the criminal courts would do be-
fore taking action in the matter.
He was, however, refused a pastorate on
account of the scandal, and went to st.
Paul, where he engaged i'll the real estate
business, which he has since followed
When the case was tried a second time the
state failed to convict. and Walton preached
three OF four times after that, thinking that
the shame of the charge was wiped out by
his not being convicted. Mr., Walton then
made himself so conspicuous that another
church investigation was called for. Not
enough witnesses could be got together,
however, and the session was adjourned
subject to the call of the presiding elder.
Soon after this it was charged that Mr.
Walton had been guilty of forgery in alter
ing pass. To this charge he pleaded
guilty and was suspended from the list of
ministers until the coming conference when
he will receive a church trial ON both
charges Mr.. Walton denies the charge of
rape, and claims that the trouble was insti-
gated by saloon men who wanted to get
even with him for his Jealous temperance
work

Tuesday she secured horse from Browns
livery stable for three hours. paying the
price in advance. The three hours rolled
by. as did the night and yesterday as well.
and the girl failed to return the horse to
the stable. Capt Bosworth was notified,
and. visiting the old farm where she played
the cowboy role, he found that the girl had
been there with the horse. She had been
drinking to excess and was in gay spirits.
The search for her is being prosecuted

While Benjamin Scott and wife were at

day afternoon, someone entered their resi-
dence at 351S Eleventh street south, and
stole two watches. Detective Laurence
yesterday arrested Frank Frost, boy Z
years old, for the theft. The lad owned up
and produced the watches. One of them.
gold watch valued at $50, was completely
ruined. he having lost the works and
smashed the cases. The other silver
watch, was uninjured. The boy will prob
ably be sent to the reform school, as his
parents pronounce him incorrigible.

this week is altogether changed as to volume
of production. While twenty mills lone more
than operated for several months), have been
attempting to run the past two days, it is
doubtful if more than oneh half the usual
amount of -four is turned out. To start with,
over two-thirds of the capacity Of the city was
closed down Monday for the labor picnic.
Twenty of the mills started yesterday morn
ing and ran strong until noon, when the wa
ter began to fall rapidly, and there has been
serious trouble ever since. All the mills have
been forced to reduce their feed and not
few have found it necessary to wholly shut
down at frequent intervals. Those at the
lower end of the canal are especially handi-
capped. Unlimited quantities of sand, bark
and refuse find their way to the lower mills,
and it is almost impossible for them to run,
except by jerks. Under these circumstances
the output to-day will undoubtedly be less
than two-thirds what it would were the power
good. A movement was set on foot to-day to
get all the mills to shut down two or three
days the latter part of the week, and it is not
unlikely that this will be done. Nillers seem
particularly anxious to crowd the -four out
put at the present time, and the shortage OF
power is therefore felt more severely.

THE GERBER CASE.
Several Parties Say He Did Pass the
Forged Check.

Forged Check.
When Erick Lind, upon whom bogus
SO check was passed a few evenings ago.
heard that Frank Gerber, the printer ac-
cused of passing it had been released, he
was somewhat indignant and expressed
himself in the following pointed manner:
81 am just as certain that he was the right
man as l am that 1 am alive. Why, l even
went up into the Tribune building with De-
tective Hoy and picked the out from
among some thirty forty other printers
Both myself and my barkeeper, Al
Schuster, saw him when he was in the saloon
and Schuster even drank with him, SO guess
we can't be very much mistaken as to his
identity. When l went up into the munich
pal court and tried to swear out warrant
against the fellow charging him with uttering
a forged check, the clerk, Mr.. Dunn, refused
to listen to me, saying that he did not have
time to attend to anything like that. / re-
manned there from o'clock in the morning
until almost 5 o'clock at night, and every little
while l asked Mr. Dunn to listen to my story.
He repeated hat he did not have time, but
notice that he had time to stop and talk with
other people. 1t seems to me that what the
municipal court needs just now is clerk
who can attend to his business, or else more
Clerks
Detective Hoy. in speaking of the articles
in the Journal rejecting upon him, said:
The reason the man was not released when
Assistant County Attorney Janison told me
that he did not think we had a case against
him, was because when went to the lookup
to release him found that Banks, the second
hand man, had made complaint against him
for passing forged check. and desired to in
vestigate it. When Mr.. Lind first made a
complaint did not Immediately arrest Gerber,
but took him to police headquarters, where
be was fully identified by TWO or three per-
sons.

The Council to Aid the EXPOSITION.
An Important Move.
Every Minneapolitan who has pride in
his city will feel especially gratified at
learning that the city council will hold a
special meeting this evening, called by
Mayor Ames for the purpose. atwhch steps
will be taken to clean up the unsightiy wood
yards in the vicinity of the Exposition
grounds. These eve sores, if allowed to re-
main in their present chaotic state, would
be disgrace to the entire city. There are
also several ungainly novels which Shout d
be placed in repair. A few hundred dollars
would paint them up and make them APP
pear decent abedes at least. The project is
to secure an appropriation sufficient to
prosecute the contemplated work. The
board OF directors of the Exposition in exec
utive session resolved to make the request
OF the council, through the mayor, and in
accordance Herewith A. j. Blethen called
upon Mayor Ames yesterday. The result
was the official call.
NOTES OF PREPARATION.
Col. Hibbard, the general manager, yester-
day moved his Office to the Exposition build

The painters, to the number of forty, will
probably quit work to-day. They complain
that they cannot afford to take one-half of
their pay in stock and do the kind of work re-
quired of them. The men, however, are
willing to take one share of stock, but de-
mand the balance of their pay in cash.
A telegram was yesterday received that
the Mexican band has started for Mime
apols. 1t will arrive the Goth and be met by
Secretary Byron and Capt. Gilmore at Kan

That She Vas Brutality Treated.
Papers in quite peculiar case were filed
in the district court yesterday in which a
servant girl is The complainant and her mis-
tress the defendant. Mrs. Henrietta E.
Tucker resides in the village of Excelsior,
and in August, 1885, wanting hired girl,
procured Susan |. Plympton. comedy
young woman. to fill the position. When
the fair Susan began work there she was
in an interesting condition, which, she
claims, Mrs Tucker knew. After she had
been at the house nearly month she al
leges that she suddenly became i'll and gave
birth to hild. and that the defendant,
while she was lying Oh bed of pain. came
into her room and commenced to call her
vile names and mock her cries of distress,
that while she was unable to
violently assaulted her, shook and slapped
her, and threatened to put her out of the
house. The complainant further alleges
that on Aug. 80, she still being very sick,
Mrs. Tucker came into the room and again
shook her, called her vile names and said
shehoped she would never get we'll Mrs.
Plnmpton also states that Mrs. Tucker re-
fused to allow Mr. Plympton to come into
thehouse, and also refused to furnish her
with food and water OF medicine, or pay
her any money in order that she might re-
cave proper medical attention. 1t is charged
that on Sept. ~, when Mrs. Plympton was
still dangerously i'll, Mrs. Tucker entered
the room during heavy rain storm. opened
all the doors and windows and allowed the
rain to beat down upon the sick woman,
which caused her to take bad cold. Mrs.
Plympton declares that her recovery was
greatly retarded by these acts on the part
of the defendant, that she was often in fear
of her life, and that she will always suffer
from the effects of the treatment she re-
ceived. She therefore demands through
her attorney, James o. Plymnton, dam
ages to the amount of $4,000.

banks of efficient colored flowers, and
these were PLACID at either end of the cas-
