A Minneapolis Barkeeper Ruins a
Girl and Leaves Her in a Dive.


Girl and Leaves Her in a Dive.
Lottie Quinn has until recently lived
quite happily in Anoka. She is a pre-
possessing girl of sixteen years, ana
was very much beloved by her father,
a lumberman. The girls father, who
is a widower, has been in the habit of
leaving Lottie IN the care of family
residing in Anoka whenever he visited
the woods on business. While her
father was away Lottle made the ac-
Quaintance of Minneapolis bartender,
and their friendship developed into
criminal intimacy. Sometime during
last week the girl came to Minneapolis
to meet her lover. The couple, in COM
pany with others, visited st. Paul, where
they remained for a time, aud after
ward visited the First street houses of
prostitution.
In one of the dives they visited Lottie
and the barkeeper quarreled, and the
iandlady persuaded the girl to remain
as an inmate. When her father came
home the day before Christmas he
learned of his daughters absence and
downfall. He came TO Minneapolis and
had his daughter arrested. He told
Judge Emery Yesterday that if sentence
was suspended he thought he could re-
claim his daughter from sinful paths.
The Judge suspended the sentence and
father and child at once left for their
home at AnOka.

The Week in Flour.

According to the Northwestern Mile
the mills last week ground 39,460 bar
rels of flour-averaging 23,243 barrels
daily-against 1865 barrels the week
before, l40,640 barrels for the CORES
ponding time in 1889, $3.50 barrels in
1888. The water power has remained
about stationary for week back. but
the advent of colder weather has af-
fected the supply. so that less flour can
be ground. The -four market is without
much life, the light demand character
-istic of the holiday season prevailing.
The export shipments for the week were
70.SS5 barrels, against 81, 420 barrels for
the preceding week.

Something over thirty young men,
some in glasses and all in dress suits,
stood and sat upon the stage at the
Lyceum last night and amused one of
the largest. and probably the most fash
ionable, audiences that ever gathered
within the walls of that house. Every
seat on the lower floor was occupied.
The boxes aud cages were filed with
parties in full evening dress and the
clawhammer predominated all over
the house. The young men on
the stage were the members
of the Yale Glee and Banjo
slabs and the people in front were old
Yale students, their fathers and moth
ers and sisters and wives and sweet
hearts and friends. The young men on
the stage sang, twanged banjos, mando-
Inns and guitars, and the people In front
applauded enthusiastically. Every
number on the programme was encored.

WAS M'CANN SLUGGED?
The Weekly Post Declares That
He Was dome Up.''

liz w as DOhO ~
One week ago to-day Adam A. Nc
Cam, one of the proprietors of the
Weekly Post, was found in a state of
insensibility in the entrance of his Office.
He was supposed to have injured his
h ead by falling down stairs. He now lies
at 1900 Parh avenue still unconscious.
and nOtexpected to live. Yesterdays
edition of the Weekly Post advances
the theory that McCann's injuries were
not the result of accident, but it is
claimed that he was assaulted by GER
tain parties having a grudge against the
policy of the paper. Since it was estab-
lished a few weeks ago, the Post has
been laboring for the cause of Reform,
with capital r, as against all the evils
of a great city. This, it urges, is the
reason Mccain was assaulted. The
most probable supposition is that Nc
Cam really was injured accidentally,
and that the editor of the paper is at
tempting to use his injury to make cap
ital for the paper.

wAYzATA CASE SETTLED.
The Great Northern Must Vacate
Broadway.

Broadway.
The old case Of the town of Way
Zata is settled at last by decision of
Judge Young. The paper goes some
what into the early history of Mime
sofa to show how the road obtained title
to the land. and finally winds up with a
compromise. The town sued to compel
the road to vacate Ihe part of Broadway
and Lake street covered by the depot
platform and watertauk. and also the
lake shore used for side tracks. The
decision eompels the company to vacate
the street. but gives to it all that land
between the south side of Lake street
and low water mark. The watertauk
will be allowed to stand and the road
will only Ue obliged to remove some
sixty feet of its platform. 1t is proba-
Bile that the case will not he appealed,
and that both litigants will rest sat-
iStied.

ture emanating from the lottery compan-
The Naval pepartment.

The construction and equipment of the
new ships for the navy have made very
satisfactory progress. Since March 4
1889, nine nev vessels have been put in
commission, and during this winter four
more, including one monitor, will be
added.
The construction of the other vessels
authorized is being pushed, both in the
government and private yards, with en-
ergy and watched with the most scrupu-
lous care.
The experiments conducted during the
year to test the relative resisting power
of armor plates, have been so valuable as
to attract great attention in Europe.
The only part of the work upon the
new ships that is threatened by unusual
delay is the armor plating and every
effort is being made to reduce that to the
minimum.
1t is a source of congratulation that the
anticipated influence of these modern
ships upon the esprit de corps of the
officers and seamen has been fully
realized. Confidence and pride in the
ship among the crew are equivalent to
secondary battery. Your favorable con-
sideration is invited to the recommends
tons Of the secretary.

The War Department.

The report of the secretary of war
shows several gratifying results attained
during the year by wise and unostenta-
tions methods. The percentage of deser-
tons from the army flor which both con-
gress and the department have been long
seeking a remedy has been reduced dur
ing the past year "A per cent and for the
months OF August and September, during
which time the favorable effects of the
act of June 16, were only SO per cent as
compared with the same months of 1889.
The results attained by reorganiza-
ton and consolidation of the divisions
having charge of the hospital and ser
vice records of the volunteer soldiers are
very remarkable. This change was
effected in July, 1889, and at that time
there were 1864 cases awaiting atten-
ton. more than half of these being calls
from the pension claims.
On the Both of June last, though over
three hundred thousand new calls had
come in. there was not single case that
had not been examined and answered.
COAST DEFENsEs.
concur in the recommendations of the
Becretary that adeo uate and regular ap-
preparations be continued for coast de-
Tense works and ordnance.
Plans have been practically agreed
upon and there can be no good reason for
delaying the execution of them, while
the defenseless state of our great sea
ports furnishes an urgent reason for wise
expedition.
The assistance that has been extended
to the militia of the states generally and
most appropriately designated the ma
tional Guard" should be continued and
enlarged. These military organizations

Department OF Justice.

Inc report OF the attorney general is,
under the law, submitted directly to
congress, but as the department of JUS
tice is only one of the executive depart
ments, reference to the work done,
is appropriate here.
A vigorous and in the main an effective
effort has been made to bring to trial and
punishment all violators of the law: but
at the same time, care has been taken
that frivolous and technical offences
should not be used to swell the fees of
officers or to harass well-disposed citi-
zens.
Special attention is called to the facts
connected with the prosecution of vio-
lations of the election laws and of Of
lenses against United States officers.
The number of convictions secured,
very many of them upon pleas of guilty,
will, 1t is hoped, have salutary restrain
ing influence.
PosTMAsTERs PROSECUTED.
There have been several cases where
postmasters appointed by me have been
subjected to violent interference in the
discharge of their duties and to persecu-
tons and personal violence of the most
extreme character.
Some of these cases have been dealt
with through the department of justice
and in some cases the postoffices have
been aDolISheQ OF suspended.
Ihave directed the postmaster general
! to pursue this course in all cases where
all other efforts fail to secure for any
postmaster, not himself in fault, an oppor-
tunity peacefully to exercise the duties Of
his Office.
But such action will not supplant the
efforts of the department of Justice to
bring the particular offenders to punish
ment.
NATURALIZATION.
The vacation by judicial DEGREES OF
fraudulent certificates of naturalization
upon bills of equity filed by the attorney
general in the circuit court of the United
States is a new application of q familiar
equity jurisdictiction.
Nearly one hundred such DEGREES have
been taken during the year, the evidence
disclosing that a very large number OF
fraudulent certificates of naturalization
have been issued and in this connection
1 beg to renew my recommendation
that the laws be SO amended as to re-
quire more full and searching inquiry
into all the facts necessary to naturaliza
ton before any certificate is granted.
1t certainly is not too much to require
that an application for American citizen
shall be heard with as much care anc
recorded with as much Formally as are
given to cases involving the petties
property right.
POOL SELLING.
At the last session I returned without
my approval a bill entitled, "An act tc
To prohibit book-making and pool selling
in the District of Columbia" and stated
nay objection to be that it did not pro
hibit but in fact licensed what it pur-
ported to prohibit An effort will be
made under existing laws to suppress
this evil. It is not certain that they will
be found adequate.
