FLOYD is BROUGHT HOME.
THE BOON COMPANION Or ScHElc &C.
TURNED FROM NEW YORK.
NOT As DAPPER as OF YORE.

He Takes Bath and Is Then Sub.
jected to an Audience With
Supt. Smith - An Affecting
Scene Upon Meeting His Moth
er-Arraigned and Committed
Without Bail.
: In the staid-looking man with pointed
beard and quiet demeanor who stepped
off the Milwaukee train which arrived
from Chicago at o'clock yesterday
morning, very few persons would have
recognized the erstwhile jaunty and
dappeir young man known in the.swell
places about town as Louis Floyd. Par
tIculars Of his arrest in New York on
the charge OF being an accomplice of
Philip Scheig. the defaulting teller of
the Bank of Minneapolis. have already
appeared in the GLOBE, together with
the details of the apprehension Of his
brother and Scheig upon their recent
arrival at Southampton, England. The
prisoner was in charge of Inspector
Doyle, and they left New York Monday,
coming straight through without Incl
dent.
Aside from the changes above noted
IN MS personal appearance. Floyd was
looking reasonably we'll from a cursory
outlook, and he was dressed in clothes
Of the latest mode, in spite of which,
however, the practiced eye could see
that his arrest ana imprisonment had
gone hardly with him. At St. Paul In
speetor Doyle and his prisoner were
met by Marc Hayne, the attorney OF the
accused. and upon reaching Min nedpG-
lis Floyd was first permitted to crafty
his esthetic tastes by taking bath
and procuring necessary articles
for change in his apparel.
He was then taken over to
police headquarters, where Mrs. Floyd
was in waiting, and quite an affecting
scene ensued. The QuartetIe was then
clOSeted with Supt. Smith, but what
transpired is a secret. An attempt was
afterwards made to interview the ac-
cuSed by the reporters, but acting upon
the advice of his attorney he refused to
talk.
At 2 o'clock he was arraigned before
Judge MahOney on the charge of the
larceny of SIS. 600 from the Bank of
Minneapolis, tue complaint being sworn
to by Cashier Wright. He was after
wards remanded to the county jail, no
bail being fixed. The expensive camp
ing outfit, which was about to be
shipped TO Europe when the arrest was
made, will be shipped here in d few
days. In speaking OF the GU fit, In
spector Doyle says il is unique collec-
ton. and that it involved an immense
outlay.

EIGHT BLOCKS BURNED.
Almost a Million Dollars of
Springfield, Mass, Property De-
strOyed

Springfield, Mass, Property De-
stroyed.
SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Nov. 22.-The
fire which broke out In the Dickinson
block. in Springfield. at midnight, was
not brought under control until it had
destroyed eight blocks, resulting in an
estimated damage of nearly million
and half dollars. The fire broke out
IN the block owned by Henry S. Dickin-
son. 1t next spread to the block owned
by D. Dexter IL Co. 1t then communi-
Gated to another block owned by John
Doolan, from this it jumped to the last
block in the row of burned buildings
All of these blocks are upon WOrthiug-
ton street. The last block was occu-
pied by A. n. Mayo IL Co. The walls
between this last named block and its
nelghbOr were thin indeed. the party
walls between all the blocks destroyed
were of very slender construction.
The burned district on Warrington
street, extends nearly $50 east from the
rear of the Glendower house, and is
nearly $50 deep. The seven blocks de-
strOyed were as follows:
Flye-story brick block, owned by j.
Weber, grocer: two brick blocks. five
stories high, owned by J. E. Dexter II
Co., rag dealers; fiYe-story block, owned
by John Doolan, also rag dealer; five
story block. owned by a. n. Mayo u
Co., stock dealers; GIendower hotel and
Abbey block and part of The Wright
block.
The first estimate of losses by this
mornings fire was made hurriedly and
probably places the amount too large.
Careful figuring indicates it will not eX-
coed SS00,0OO, with prospects that it will
fall below that sum.

main point was whether it had failed to

rather, whether it was liable for having
