A Rape Case at sherman.

SHERMAN, Dec. q lSpecia!.l - The
day yesterday was exhausted in obtain
ing a jury in the Prentice rape case and
in partly examining ono witness. This
ia the case in which Nancy Harris
charges Prentice with having outraged
her on the night of April 30. in Donison.
Nancy Harris and John Harris. who
were Cousins, both uneduCated country
people, left their home near White
Mound, in this county, for the purpose
OF going TO tho Nation to 80 married.
Arriving ut Denison at about
midnight, they. stopped at the
depot TO await train going
north to take them into tho nation.
While waiting for tho train Ed Prentice
and J. Chambers became acquainted
with their mission, and Prentice repre-
Ientiug himself to the uBsophisticated
couple az an officer, informed tbem tat
If they attempted to go to tho nation, he
would arrest them, and that MS duty
Was TO arrest them, anyhow, but that II
the man, John Harris, who was little
more than full grown boy, would go to
sherman and procure license ana re-
turn to DeniSon and get married. 1t
| would be all right, and that he would
carry tho girl to Il hotel to remain
| until he returned. By threats
| of arresti"g them, the man was induced
to start for Sherman to procure the
license, and the girl, aged 10 years, was
| left with Prentice To tako to motel.
Harris walked to Sherman in the night,
procured the license and returned 10
| benson. In the meantime Prentice
started off with the girl and walked her
around until ut last they brought M in
lumber yard, where, notwithstanding
her crying and protesting, he forcloly
contaminated his helish design. On
| l.,f hnr fHafln
him OF what had occurred; he, not%ith-
standing, married her at once. Cham
bers is charged with being an Access
sory before and after tho fact.
The girl Nancy Harris testified to The
facts as above, and that when Prentice
let her 20 after accomplishing his q. :
signs that she met up with Chambers in
about twenty-five steps from where the
outrage was committed, but that he Of
iered her no indignities, but carried her
| to a clearinghouse, where they were
refused admittance; that then they
started toward the depot, and he put
her in charge of Mr.. Shelton; that she
did not inform Mr.. Shelton of what had
happened until asked by him. She gave
a stranger, and she would not have said
a .ything to him about 1t If he had
| not sue.tioned her, but that If she
| had met any one she was acquainted
with, she would have informed them.
The defense mainly relies on endeavor-
| ing to show that the point ut which the
rapo is said to have been committed IS
within hearing distance OF two saloons
that are kept open all night, and that
her cries could not have been very loud
| or they would have been heard.
| The baltimore & Ohio telegraph COM
pany, it is expected, will be in operation
| here in about fifteen days.. 1t is to be
| hopad we will then have better service,
as this special was taken to the western
| Union last night at S:45, and the ONCE
| WAS closed.

DISASTROUS FIRE IN PITTsBUKG.

PITTsBURG, Pa Sept. ga disas-
trous fire broke out on the South Side at
about 1890 last night Abel Smith &
Co.'s extensive glass works, covering an
area Of two acres, together with Robinson
Rea & Co. S machine shop and five frame
dwellings, have been consumed, and, as
the buildings in the vicinity are of combus-
table material, it was feared the flames
would get beyond control of the fire de-
partment. Fortunately the wind was not
very high.
A few minutes before midnight the
flames burst out furiously again and
spread to the mould room and pattern
shop which were soon in ruins. At 1885
the fire was still burning, but it was then
believed that ali danger of its spreading
further is past. The loss, as can be as

DISTRESSING SUICIDE M sew YoRK.

New YORK, Sept. 26.-Isaac Newton,
chief engineer of the Department of
Public Works, committed suicide yester-
day in the Century Club house, at No.
20 Union square, by cutting his throat
with razor Mr.. Newton was an &C.
complished and well-known engineer.
He made the plans for and superintended
the construction of the original Monitor,
and was on board other when she fought
the Merrimac in Hampton Roads, Va, in
1862. He had suffered from dyspepsia
and lung troubles, and had for some time
back been Respondent. The last thing
which broke him down, however, was
the failure of the Kemble coal and iron
company, which foundered in the August
panic. This failure ruined the estate of
his deceased father, and he thought that
his mother and daughter would now be
left unprovided for Furthermore, he
had Endorsed note for the manager of
that company. This note was thrown on
him, and when Newton returned home
last Wednesday he said that a deputy
sheriff was after him.
