and 1t Is odds that some of them admired
Scheig more than ever for the romance
of the whole thing. When he reluctant-
ly told OF his amours and his fast life
among theatrical people and the demi-
monde, the women simpered and a few
OF them bluShed and looked at each
other rather sheepishly. There is nc
galnsaying it, this barber's son has had
quite sensational career, even though
II lasted but half dozen years. He
commenced robbing the bank in 1886.
and kept it up to the very dav of his
departure for the South III 1898. His
system of robbery and the manner in
which he covered up his tracks will
PROBABLY prove warning to many in
stitutions.
During the forenoon session Scheiq
told OF his acquaintance with the
tloyas, how he came to meet them. Ha
mad known the boys about seven years
and Mrs. Floyd about six. Mr.. Nye
asked:
How intimate were your relations
riage?"
I'VE would meet outside of the bank
or at Dietrich's saloon every afternoon
and spend the rest of the day ard even
Ing together"
What was the character of these as.
sociations?"
1--WE would go out carousing about
the saloons three or four times week.
During the time from 1856 up to Sep.
temDer. 1882. were the Floyd boys in the
city?'
Yes; Louis was manager of photo
graph gallery. He conducted the photo
graph business for two or three years.
FRANK never had any business during
the time L have known him."
During that time did you have any
money transactions with the Floyds?"
Yes"
state to the jury all that took place
In regard to these transactions"
Wei. just before Mr.. Floyd died. it
was in 1887 or 1888. they asked me fot
money for the first time, SAYING that
they were going tc have money and
would pay me back. ] told them aid
not have any, but finally did lend them
some. lent them at various times FROM
s. to SlO0. until had given them about
$1,000. Then they got their money and
paid me some. They gave a check; |
think it was for $1,000. They received
quite an amount of money at that time,
and. after it was spent they came to me
right along and got funds. One day
Lou came in the bank and asked foT
money. l said that did not have any.
He said: You have it in your hand
and can give it to me if you want to-
finally gave him some. l gave him
money from that time until we went
away. III sums ranging from s. to $500.
L kept no track of the amounts"
The court adjourned at this point,and
in the afternoon Scheig resumed his
story. He said that up to February
1893, he had given the FloA DIS in the
neighborhOOd of $4,000.
"How and where was this money
given to the Floyd boys?" asked Mr..
Nye. --
Almost any time. The boys would
come to the bank. sign their own names
to the checks. l would give them the
checks back after cashing. No account
was ever kept of the money gave them
on the banks b0okS.''

Lieut.. Young's Spicy Testimony
Before the Hawaiian Committee.

Lieut.. OungS spicy testimony
Before the Hawaiian Committee.
WAsBINGToN.F Feb. 27.-Decidedly the
most racy chapter in the bulky volume
of Hawaiian testimony is Lieut.. LucieD
Young's decriptiou OF the last days of
the monarchy. Lieut.. Young was an
officer of the Boston, and attended the
closing ceremonies of the Hawaiian
parliament in full uniform, and i'm an
official capacity, at the request of Capt.
Wiltse. Lieut.. Young'S description of
the scene is picturesque in the extreme.
lie said:
II was shown the seat assigned me
in the legislative hall. little to the
left and III front of the rostrum where
the speaker used to sit, and which the
queen used when she read her proc
laniation. L believe it was about the
funniest affair ever saw in my life-a
circus!
"rbe queen looked at me rather sui
lenly. and did not return my salutation
with any cordiality at all. | noticed
that she acted rather peculiarly. First,
when she was reading her proclamation,
| thought she had a. little stage fright,
but in the reception room saw she
was under the influence of a slimulant;
in fact, she was drunk. There is no
question in my mind about it at ALL"

FITHINN is FOXY.
a Bland Lieutenant Says the sil.
verites Will Do Some Filibuster-

AAOSC w iAA Do SoOhAO
ing.
WASHINGTON, Feb. q. 7.-Representa-
tive Fithian, one of. the active lieuten-
ants of Mr.. Bland in the silver debate.
says that the silver men will block
appropriation bills and bring every
class of legislation to halt until the
opposition to the pending silver bill
consents to let vote be taken. Mr..
Fithian said In speech yesterday that
the silver men would be justified in
such a course, but today he went fur
ther, and said they would effectually
carry out the plan. He says it applies
to all of the great appropriation bills
for carrying on the government and the
local measures for public buildings,
rivers and harberS and general improve
ments. 1t will apply also to general
measures of legislation, such as the
bankruptcy bill or banking measures
now on the calendar awaiting nearing.
Mr.. Fithian was asked if the committee
OH rules could not bring in a special
rule giving the appropriation bills the
right of way. He said the bill would
have to be passed by the house. and he
intimated that the silver men were
stroug enough to defeat such plan.
He is confident they can bring all legis-
lation to standstill until the silver
question is voted upon.

Floyds to induce them to give you
morey?'
"Yes; Lou came to me once and asked
for money. and told him did not have
any. He threatened to tell the cashier
about my dolngS, and then | gave him
some"
"Do you remember the time Frank
and bis mother were III New York be-
fore you went South?'
Yes; 1 sent them about $3.50 by ex-
press"
''Do you remember any other item or
bill you paid for them?''
'One time paid bill for them at
Harry Legg's of 500 or $780,
ANY other bill?"
"Yes. Lou came to me once when
they were stopping at the Holmes hotel.
and SAID they couldn't get their goods
away from there unless paid their bill.
paid it. 1t was about $3.50"
did you have any transactions with
Frank last winter?'
Yes. Before he went away he asked
me to give his mother SIS per month
while he was away. l told him that
did not have any money, and he said to
get it from the bank. that it would be
all right. This was about year ago.
l kept the payments up until left"
Did you make any more payments TO
Mrs. Floydp"
Yes; l gave her $500 just before I
went away"
Then followed description of the
preliminary plans and the final trip
South. During the day the Floyds made
him keep under cover. Then the outfit
kept clear of the towns. SO as to avoid
being seen. Witness never met any
one to talk to them. A part of the outfit
was left at Charleston and the rest YVES
shipped to New York, the boys travelling
on the freight trains. AT New York
they all took the steamer for South
America. They lived aboard the boat
for three days. Lou Floyd bought the
tickets for steamer and his name was
given as Marsden.
"The boat went out into the sound
and broke rudder, and had to come
back. The boys went on shore and left
me, and came back. They asked me if

CIVIL JURY BILL.
Measure to Enable Three Fourths
ola Jury to Bring O Verdict.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-Mr. Bryan
Oem., Neb.) today introduced in the
house bill to amend the revised stat
utes so as to permit i'll civil cases the
verdicts of thlee-fourths of the jurors
constituting the jury to stand as ver-
dict of the jury. and such verdict to
have the same force and effect as a
unanimous verdict.
II have favored this change" said
Mr.. Bryan. "for several years. and my
attention was called to it anew by a
suggestion made by Judge Brewer, at
the Chicago Union League club banquet
last Thursday. In civil cases there is
no reason why litigants should be COM
PEELED to fight until one can secure
unanimous verdict. Disagreements are
usually caused by one or two members
of the Jury, and a three-tOurths verdict
would settle most cases, making great
saving of COSTS"

in such vivid and braZen manner that
the audience marveled at his nerve. He
said when he was discharged from the
bank IN January of 1892, he had stolen
$50, 900, or more, from the bank. Most
of this was lost in gambling and specu-
lation, the remainder having been
thrown away on wine and women. His
story created something of sensation,
and many man wondered at the pecu-
liar business methods of a banking in
stitution that was cognizant of such
heavy defalcation, and yet covered it
up so far as the outside world was con-
cerned, then took back the defaulter
and raised his salary. 1t is doubtful if
the bank officials will be pleased at this
evidence, especially since the public is
aware that q reward Of but $500 was
offered 20 bring back man who had
stolen about $4,000.
A sigh fluttered on the lips of the fair
sex as they listened to this testimony.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27. Word has

and positively sets at rest the stories
given circulation early yesterday after
noon that there was reason for grave
apprehension concerning the presi-

Gus small creeks or indentatjons of the

unusual having occurred on board the
vessel. The weather is nowssunshiny,
