A weIl.Deserycd sentence.

SAN Francisco, February 9.-Ex-
Policeman Glennon was sentenced to
ten years at San Quentin to-day for as
sault to murder Willie Burke. Glennon,
it is claimed, while under the
influence of liquor, walked up to
Burke, and, after remark or
two, fred at him with his pistol. Burke's
first impulse was to save himself. and he
made rush at the drunken policeman.
In the endeavor to get the weapon away
from him struggle ensued, in which
a muscular 25O-pound man was
matched against frail 17-year-old
boy. The result was that
the policeman got his victim down, shot
him twice more and then pummelled
his head with the weapon, completely
destroying the hearing of one ear, and
besides two ugly bullet wounds, cutting
several gashes in his head.

SURPRISED LODGERS.
They Return Home to Find Thei
Furniture Gone.

They Return n ONE to Find Their
Furniture Gone.
The roomers at the Ramsey House,
No. 217 Second street, were considerably
surprised when they returned in the
evening to find that there was no furni-
ture there and that their personal goods
had been dumped from their bureau
drawers upon the floor and scattered
about in great disorder. The house was
kept by Mrs. Mary Edmonson, against
whom suit had been brought for $500
by her landlord, Mr.. O'Hera. Mrs.
Edmonson offered $500 cash and
asked for few days time
in which to pay the balance.
This offer was refused, and the Sheriff
stepped in suddenly and took out the
carpets, furniture and crockery, which
Mrs. Edmonson claims were valued at
$4 900. The dodgers whose rooms were
entered and whose personal effects were
scattered about promiscuously were very
Indignant over the affair. They allege
that the rooms were theirs. they having
paid the rent in advance, and that the
officers of the law had no right to enter
them. Some of the dodgers allege that
thew lost valuables and several suits iol
damages and forcible entry will probably
be begun tomorrow. One lodger con.
suited q lawyer to see If he coulc MOI
procure a warrant for the arrest OF the
officer who entered his room on charge
of burglary.

INDIANAPOLIS, February 9.-Cabinet
speculation has rather quieted down. the
only new feature being feeling of oppo.
sition to Windom's name which is devel-
oping among some of John G. Nevis
friends. The most influential of NEWS
friends, however, assert that he is not
booked for any Cabinet place, but for the
Austrian mission.
This afternoon, over one hundred MEM
bers of the Marion County Tippecanoe
Club called on General Harrison for the
purpose of presenting him with costly
and elegant Bible, purchased by the
club some time ago. The binding was
specially designed for General Harrison.
On the blank pages were recorded the
names of one hundred and thirty vet
Grams who have gone from earth,
and the signatures of 121 members who
participated in the gift. They were re-
ceived informally by General Harrison.
When all had entered the rooms, the
sacred Book, in its velvet-lined case,
was placed before the President-elect,
and Rev. DR.. Henry Day made brief
but eloquent presentation address. Gen
eral Harrison was noticeably affected.
In his reply, he returned thanks to the
club for the repeated evidences of re-
spect and regard its members had shown |
him since it's organization. Referring
to the wishes for his success in his new
post of duty, expressed by Mr.. Day, the
General said: II shall lean upon you
and upon that great company of God
fearing people whom l represent. II
cannot hope to escape just criti-
cism in the discharge of the onerous
and complicated duties which are soon
to devolve upon me, but do hope that
L ehall escape fatal error, and that it
will appear when my inadequate and
brief work is done, that 1 have set before
me, as the pole star OF my public life, a
patriotic purpose to promote the true
glory of our country and the highest
good of our people. God bless you every
one. May the consultations of this holy
b ook fill your lives with peace, and make
the last the best day of all your honor
able lives"
At the conclusion of the Generals
words, the veterans passed
along and clasping the Generals hand
in silence took their leave. The scene
was probably the most solemn and |
pathetic ever witnessed in General Har-
rison'S house.

Alger,s Chance of the War office.

DETROIT, February 9-Senator-elect 8
Mcmillan, who had received an invita-

from Indianapolis this morning, and
soon after was closeted with General
Alger The latter was seen by a reporter
when the conference ended, and he
stated that he was not at liberty to cay
anything about McMillan's conversation
with General Harrison. There is every
indication that the talk between General
Harrison and Mcmillan has resulted in
the offer of the position of Secretary of
War to General Alger, and that before
tomorrow morning General Alger will
decide to accept the offer.

DANGEROUS ELECTRICITY.

Protection to Life and Property
Demanded by the Chamber OF
Commerce.
At the meeting of the chamber OF
commerce, held Monday. the following
resolutions were offered, and referred
to the committee on buildings and fire
department. The GLOBE prints the
resolutions in full, SO as to attract the
public attention to them.
Resolved, That for the better protection OF
human life and greater safely OF property II
would be expe dent to have some public
officer charged With the supervision and in
speetion of all electric wires that may be
used for any purpose whatever In our city.
That such officer should examine carefully
as to thr method of hanging. connecting and
insulating said wires and that the plan for
their introduction into all new structures, as
we'll as their use in old buildings, should be
subjected TO most rigid and careful lnspec-
ton by an expert in electricity and in cleo
trical mechanism. and that every known pre-
caution and appliance which will lessen the
danger attending the use of electricity and
guard the safety of human life and protect
public and private property should be made
use of.
Resolved. That for the present we recon-
mend that the common council of 81. Paul
impose this duty upon the building inspector,
allowing him (if necessary an assistant VINO
is skilled in electrical machinery and appli-
ances: who. under direction of the COM
mon council ana mayor and such ordi,
nances as may be passed to that end, shall
perform such duties as may be necessary IN
connection Herewith.
Resolved. That copy of these resolutions
be transmitted TO the common council and
mayor of the city, with request that action
be taken on this subject at an early day.
The attention of the public. as well as
of the city council, which is the repre-
sentative of the public, is invited to
this movement. In view of the recent
loss of life in New York, and in many
other places, as well as the immense loss
of property from recent fires, caused by
the msdirectiOn of the electric current,
there seems to be an immediate and
imperative demand for some such action
as suggested. The city is fortunate in
having q thoroughly leyelheaded, in
telligent and conscientious building in
spector, and if he is given such proper
assistant, who is skilled in electrical
matters, as is suggested in these reso-
lutions. the public will feel that the
proper thing will be done.
