Il WOM4N At THE CAPITOL.

The Sensation Created at the Police Station
by a Strange Announcements Woman
Locked in Room at the Capitol and
Refusing to LeaYe-The Denouement.
About 8 o'clock last night a policeman.
wipiEg the perspiration from his manly
brow, and all out of breath, entered the
police headquarters and stated to Sergeant
Morgan that woman had entered one of
the rooms at the capitol, locked herself in
and refused to open the door. Of course,
such a statement created a sensation.
Several of the police were present
when the officer made the report, and all
recollected the burning of the capitol, and
visions of the second destruction of the
building filled the minds of all. The
opinion was that the woman was crank,
or crazy about something, and that the
chanches were that she might set the
building on fire. Sergeant Morgan i'm
mediately started up there with the officer
to look into the matter, and, if necessary.
to open the door by force. When the
sergeant, with the others arrived Officer
Hanft was found there. They proceeded
to take the handle and the lock OFF. when
the woman concluded to surrender at dis
creticn and unlocked the door. When she
walked forth from the well carpeted and
comfortably furnished room the woman
proved to be a sixteen year old girl.
She gave no explanation as to how or WHY
she entered the room, and simply said she
worked for family which she named. but
as the story was wholly false the name of
the family is omitted in this account. By
direction of the sergeant Officer Hanft took
the girl down to the residence of the
man for whom she said she worked, VIXEN
the lady of the house said the girl did not
work for her, and never had. Officer
Hanft then took the girl one side and gave
her to understand that she must tell him
the truth or he would lock her up. She
then told her story, which was in sub
stance, that her parents reside on Tenth
street, that she went to the capitol to
meet, by appointment, one of the clerks.
employed in the building. This.
she said, she had done several
times before. She further stated that
the man she went there to
see was in the room with her all the time.
and that when he saw those on the outside
were going to get in anyway he climbed
up on one of the window stills and con-
cealed himself behind the blinds of the
window. She gave a name to the officer
which she said was the name of the man
she went to see, but this name is evidently
fictitious. 1t is probable that the gov
ernor, as custodian of the building. will
order an investigation to-day.

The official proceedings of the city

ex-Ald. j. ~. Fisher from the charges upon
which he was convicted in 1875 and re-
moved from the council. 1t appears that
the two witnesses upon whose testimony
the conviction was made, subsequently
gave affidavits explaining and retract-
ing their testimony, which afidavits
having been shown to the members
of the council voting for conviction. they
promptly signed the document declaring
the verdict to have been based upon sup
posed facts which, not proving true, the
conviction was unjust. The GLOBE takes
pleasure IN not only recording the facts.
officially, but in calling attention to this
exoneration. Mr.. Fisher has rested under
the odiUm of this affair for many years.
and his yindication, even at late
day, is simple act of - Justice.
His absence from the city has DELAYED
the making of the matter public until at
the last meeting of the council. but the
correction is none the less due owing to
the lapse Of time. The ex-alaerman is to
be congratulated.

Our citizens have fought for this bill,

one appointed by and through our own
