Montana Senatorial Controversy.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-The Senate com

the Montana senatorial controversy to-day.
Several hours were devoted to discussing
the legal questions involved, but no con

A FRAUDULENT BALLOT BOX.
Very Ingenius Device by Which Votes
Were Thrown Out at Elections.

WASHINGTON, March 1.--Up in the room
of the House committee on elections to-day
there stood ballot box that will figure in
the debate on the Featherstone-Cate cleo
ton case next week. The box is made of
tin, and looks like any ordinary cheap bal
lot box. But there is popularity about
it that appears only upon close inspection.
Where the ballots are placed it is double,
so that if ballot is placed on one side it
will slip in the box, but if placed on the
other side, slides unperceived down into a
basket or upon the floor. The contestant
(F'eatherstone) asserts that twenty one of
those boxes were used in one county at
the election in Arkansas, and as the Re
publican ballots were marked in blue to
distinguish them, it was an easy matter
for the Democratic election managers to see
they did not go into the ballot boxes, and
get counted. The double lip around the
orifice can readily be taken off, leaving the
box absolutely honest in appearance.

A FINE CAPACITY FOR SCRAPES
Lillian Scofieli, Opens Boarding House, and
Plays Confidence Games.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examlner Dispatch
New York, March If ever there was
a woman who could get into more nasty
scrapes and with just as much ease get out
of them, that woman is Mrs. Lillian Edna
Scofield. Many brokers now doing business
in Pine street, San Francisco, recollecther
when the old board room was on California
street It's dollars to little apples that
when they heard of Lillian's adventure
with Mat Hatch, during which Mat lost his
life several of the Pine street cavaliers
breathed sigh of relief and hoped that Lii
liam would be placed il jail several years
where she could not make trouble for any
more susceptible brokers. Mrs. Scoheld is
still in the ring. The case OF grand larceny
against hers which it was thought would
hold, was yesterday dismissed. As already
related in these dispatches, Mrs Scofield
opened boarding house, and by tears and
tales of trouble, induced several OF her
dodgers who, by the way, were rather we'll
to- do. to advance her various sums OF
money. Henry II. Bowers, u wealthy book
publisher, boarded at her house. Mrs.
Scofield kept borrowing so often
| from Henry that he thought it
would be cheaper to move. When he
had the express man at the door to take
away his things, his landlady presented
him with stupendous bill for imaginary
| services ana alleged back rents. Mr..
Bowers protested, and if ever he had any
love for the bewitching Mrs. Scoield it all
vanished He was not allowed to remove
his effects from his room, so he brought
civil suit to recover his property. He OBJ
tanned judgment and obtained all exceptS50
worth. Then MIR. Bowers had Mrs. SEQ
field arrested on criminal charges, but il
didn't do him any good, for the justice de-
cided that as judgment had been granted
for recovery of the goods the courts
could not interfere any more. AS New
York, however, is getting rather warm foI
Lillian and she prefers dining at Marchand's
to Delmonico's, it must not surprise San
