A TERRIBLE CRIME.
Father arrested for Incest-The Pre-
Lintinnry Hearing.

Correspondence of the Globe.
SAuK RAPIDS, April 80, 1s7s.-City Justice
Carpenters Office was to-day the scene of the
crowds, occasioned by the examination of Phi
lander E. Curtiss, citizen of the town of
Gilmanton, Benton county, for the alleged
crime of incest upon his daughter Lavina Cur
tiss, a girl of some II years of age. The
father is man of some so years of age a
steady, Industrious. respectable man, and who
has a host of friends who are shocked and in
credulous at the charges made against him,
The daughter, whose mother died while she
was an infant, alleges that the period of her
fathers unnatural intimacy with her ranges
over a space of four OF five years, that it was
2rst accomplished by violence, which was met
with resistance on her part, and has since been
continued by threats, and fear on her part of
corporal punishment, which she alleges has
been administered by him at various times.
Since June, 1877, until the morning Of the 28th
inst, she has been keeping house for her father
the step-mother with whom she had lived for
IL years) having died at that time. The final
denouement, it appears, came at and through
the instance of an older sister, married and re-
siding at Brainerd, who wrote letter ZEN
closing one from the girD to neighbor lady,
in which she 0he married daughter)
makes the charge, and calls upon the lady to
rescue and protect her. L. W. Collins, ESQ.,, of
St. Cloud, was secured by MIR. Curtiss, for the
defense, but only attempted to develop the
prosecution, and as consequence the defend
ant was held to await the action of the grand
jury, on $500 bail. The statement of the de-
PENDANT to his attorney as to the alleged crime,
is to the effect that the girl has for some time
back been DESTROYS Of going to Brainerd to live
with her sister, but has been told by the father
that she could notgo until she became of age.
he also states that she has been willful, OBJ
stinate child, and that he has been obliged to
resort to severe discipline at times. Mr.. Cur
tiss has always borne an unimpeachable charac-
ter, and public sympathy seems to be largely
on his side. The appalling crime alleged, if
true, and the equally appalling and infamous
charge, if FALSE evince state of moral deprav-
ity seldom found anywhere in the annals of
crime, and has thrilled and shocked the COM
munity to its very center.

Washington Letter, April %.
Senafor HinnIe. Mitchell has had tronhlo M; a

Senator Ripple Mitchell has had trouble with
his domestic relations all his life. The latest
is occasioned by the elopement of his daughter,
only Is years of age, who has been student at
one of the city schools. A young man by the
name Of Handy, ~ years of age, a sort of sub
clerk in one of the minor Offices in the navy
departmen has been making love to the little
girl, and they had arranged an engagement.
Her parents objected to this sort of puppy love
and did their best to break it.up. The ardent
devotion of Is and ~ forced the parents to a
sort of tacit consent to the engagement while
they in reality had no idea of allowing anything
serious to grow out of it. A day or two ago the
young miss went over to Baltimore ostensibly
on q visit to school friend, and while over
there was married to this young man Handy.
They returned yesterday. and upon going to
the Mitchell mansion to receive a blessing,
were told that the daughter could come home
and stay if she wanted to. but that if she went
away with her husband that would be an end
to her relations with the family. The daughter
preferred to remain at home rather than go
awy with her husband. The marriage notice
of these children appeared this morning &C.
companied by pleasant statement that there
were no cards. -......-s -. =

The Faction that Smith Belongs To.
New Orleans Democra

MIR. Hayes having appointed Mr.. George l..
Smith collector of this port, it now remains to
be seen whether not the Senate will end the
agony and confirm him. 1t is variously charged
that Mr.. Smith will be the partizan Of Ander-
son, the friend of Warmoth and the allv of
Packard. From what we know of him we are
disposed to think he will be very decided
partizan of George L. Smith.
