HERE'S PRECOClTY.
A Wife Sixteen Y ears of Age---A
Ruined Girl of Fourteen.

Ed Moeller, the prize-fghter, and Mrs.
Lizzie Schnitker. both of this city,
caused the arrest on Tuesday night of
William Guise, William Morrell and
Moeller's wife on a charge Of abduct-
ing for purposes of prostitution Oracle
Ford, fourteen-year-0ld girl, the
daughter of Mrs. Schnitker by a former
marriage. The three were arraigned
before Judge Mahoney, charged with
abduction. pleaded not guilty and were
held in $500 bonds each for examina-
1On.
As briefly told. the story, as given by
the eomplainants, is that M0eiler and
his wife were married in Hudson. Wis,
last September, and that Soop after the
marriage the wife showed a decided
disposition to be away from home and
to go into society without her
husband. The latter eXpostulated
with her, but to no avail. About two
weeks after the wedding Mrs. Moeller
departed, and was gone some days with
out any one knowing her whereabouts.
When she returned she refused to give
any information as to her movements.
and Moeller, who claims to have learned
that she had been in the company
of certain railroad man most of
the time, refused to live with her
any longer, and SO they parted, and she
disappeared for time. During the
time that she lived with Moeller she
apparently had become much attached
to Oracle Ford, the daughter of Mrs.
Schnitker, who is Moeller'S sister, and
since she parted from her husband she
has kept out of sight until month ago,
when she visited Mrs. Schnitker's 5
boarding house in North Minneapolis,
and-Mrs. Schnitker being sick-en-
ticed the girl away and took her to
Shingle Creek.
At Single Creek, so MoelleY claims,
the girl was frightened, half
coaXed into playing the role of Guise'S
wife, and he was intimate with her dur
ing her stay, Mrs. Moeller living mean
while with William Morrell as his wife.
The matter was reported to the pO-
| lice, and for nearly a month detectives
| have been hunting the abducted child,
and at last Monday GTacie returned to
her mother and confessed her shame.
! Steps were Immediately taken to cap
| ture the men and woman who are said
! to have wrought her ruin, and the next
night the three were. found in their
rooms at Shingle Creek and were
| brought to the lookup.
Mrs. MOeller said to reporter yester-
! day that her arrest was all spite work
on the part of her husband because she
would not live with him. She declared
Oracle went with her willingly, and
| chose TO stay with Guise. She also says
that Oracle is more than fourteen years
old and that the men are not to blame
| in the matter.
Moeller claims TO believe that his wife
enticed his niece away and led her into
ways of wickedness merely to crafty
| her longing for revenge on him.
The case is rather mixed at best. and
there is no doubt that siXteen-year-old
| Nellie Moeller is bad lot, but whether
or not she is wicked and seheming
enough to compass the ruin of an inno-
cent child out of revenge is matter of
some doubt.

Minneapolis at the exposition building
the week of June 90, under the auspices
of the Harmonic society, the largest
and most influential German singing
society III the Northwest, will probably
be the greatest musical event which the
Northwest has ever known. Some 500
singers will be present. This event is
in itself enough to attract general at
tention, but an additional feat
ure has been secured in Gil
mOre's famous orchestra, which
was announced to have given concerts
here in June. Al meeting of the
Harmonic society yesterday the matter
was discussed at some length, and
finally left in the hands of committee
consisting of George Huhn, Peter
Rauen and Max R0senfield, who will
draw up a contract with Gilmore. What
the terms are under which the orcheS-
ira comes here and takes part in the
saengerfest are not known and
probably will not be. The orches-
ira will give five concerts a day.

evening. Gilmore is drawing from the
old jubilee orchestra and from other
leading orchestras of the country, and
when he comes here will undoubtedly
have the finest one in the United States.
In all he will have about one
hundred and twenty-five pieces. He
has already secured as soloists Cam
panini, MyroD w. Whitney, Del Puente,
De We're and Nine. StoneBarton, the

A. M. Reed was the next witness. He
testified that the tin type looked like

Mrs. Jones cast scornful look at the
witness that spoke palmer than words.

what evidence was admissible, Judge
Young discharged the prisoner from

b. BasSett wanted to know if the ore
from the G0gebic iron mines could be
converted into pipe direct. and was in
formed that it could. The relative cost
OF producing pipe here and Duluth was
another point which drew out some dis
cuSslOn, but no accurate report had
been made. Peter Durack made
strong plea for erecting the works here.
holding that SO much Minneapolis
money would not go to the East as now.
j. M. Myers advised the appointing Of
a committee to further look into the
matter, and stated that he would do.
nate eighty acres of land if the plant
could be established near his place.
Mr.. Beach stated in answer to
question from Mr.. Bassett that the cost
of the buildings alone would be in the
neighborhood of $1,000, and that
working capital of $4,000 would be re-
quired. The value of the daily output
would be about $1,000 day. Mr.. Fan
ming, the engineer of the Water Power
company, stated that it would be good
plan TO enlarge the proposed plant SO as
to include other mechanical appliances.
He thought there was fairly good
opening here. but competition would no
doubt be close from the factories now
operated in the Middle states. Mr. Bas-
sett SAID that the main backSet, so far
as he could see, would be to
secure the necessary amount OF
capital, and he thought that the
first thing to be done would be to see
what could be done toward getting the
money. The report made by the COM
mittee, he continued, was a flattering
one, and if it could be verified the busi-
ness was certainly good one. He
therefore advocated the appointment of
a committee to see what could be do1fe
toward raising the money. On motion
of Mr.. Beach a committee OF ten was
appointed to look up the matter of
capital and to investigate the project.
This committee consists of Judge
Isaac Atwater. S. c. Gale, John Taylor,
Horace A. Towne, George E. Beach.
Peter Durack, j. L. Tanning, t. B. jan
ney, T. B. Walker and J. NJ Myers,

NJ. W. Jones, real estate dealer OF

The Daily Average of the Mime
apolis Mills This Week,

The Northwestern Miller, in its
weekly summary, will say to-day:
Both ice and low water hindered the
mills during all of last week, and al
though there were fourteen running
part of the time, the flour output fell off
somewhat. The aggregate production
was s6,70O barrels-averagin 14,45O
barrels daily-agaInst 95.250 barrels
the week before, and 12S.10O barrels for
the corresponding time in 1888. With
the prevalence of warm, spring-like
weather, the supply of water has been
rather improved, but with the DISPOSE
ton to more generally use it, the head
is still kept down pretty well. Ten
mills running to-day are producing at
the rate of $4,000 barrels daily. Three
others, with an output of 1850 barrels,
are expected to start up within few
hours. This would make the daily
manufacture nearly 10000 barrels,
though the daily average for the week
will be less. H

CANADA'S FOREIGN. TRADE.
1t Will Have to Be Extended
Without Regard to the United

OTTAWA, Ont, March 6.-In deliver
ing his budget sprech to-day Minister
of Finance Foster said Canada was now
seeking to build up foreign trade.
The United States, however, had ever
evinced an unwillingness to come to a
reciprocal trade arrangement, compel
ling Canada, in consequence, to seek
for new markets. Canada on no con-
ditiOn would listen to threats from with
out, nor to specious Establishments from
within. The presidents inaugural
message. delivered yesterday, declared
with no uncertain sound that the
American tariff will remain materially
unchanged. and this was convincing
proof of the necessity for Canada to
build up her foreign trade in every
quarter of the globe. Mr.. Foster said
that parliament would be asked to
make appropriations for the trans
Atlantic and trans-Pacific steamship
services. and nearly 500, 900 in improv-
ing the canal system.

took his own life.
Capt. Russell had been resident of
Minneapolis for twenty-one years, hav-
ing come here in 1868 from Newport,
r. |. For about forty years of his life
he followed the sea, and was cap; ain
for long time. Since coming here he
has been engaged in the livery and

was very highly respected, and had
