Washington, March 1S.-The fre-
quently deferred trial of Benjamin H.
Nilliken, well known young Tennes-
seean. accused of housebreaking, July
4th, last, with intent to commit a rape
on Miss Gertrude Phillips, daughter Of
ex-Solicitor General Samuel F. Phillips,
and well known in society, began in
the Criminal Court here to-day.
The court room was crowded in the
expectation that there would be some
sensational developments.
Milliken pleaded not guilty and there
upon the prosecution and defense out
lined their course. District Attorney
Birney said he would prove that Milli-
ken called at Judge Phillips house on
the night of July last; that Miss Phil
lips refused TO see him and sent down TO
him a number of gifts he had presented
to her Milliken then went away and
about / o'clock the next morning Miss
Phillips was awakened by a slight noise
and an odor of what she thought was
chloroform. The government contend
ed that as the door was locked, Milliken
must have entered the room early. The
screams of his daughter aroused Judge
Phillips and he found Milliken on the
roof OF a rear shed.
Ex-Solcitor General John Goode,
counsel for the defense, contended that
Milliken was not in a mental or physi-
cal condition to have committed the Of
fense charged. There was no intention,
he said, TO reflect upon Miss Phillips
character His client not realizing his
condition, had called on the young lady
and though she excused herself, he en-
tered the parlOr unnoiced by the fam
lily and fell asleep. When he awOke he
supposed he was at his own home and
retired as he thought to his ROOM learn
ing his mistake only when he recog-
nized Judge Phillips.
The first witness was Judge Phillips,
who testified that he was aroused short
ly after midnight by his daughters
screams. found her in convulsions and
then found a man in the closet who,
after escaping to a rear roof, proved TO
be Milliken.
Miss Gertrude Phillips and her elder
sister testified substantially to the same
effect, and also to the fact that Milliken
was a frequent caller
Miss Gertrude admitted that she and
Milliken had been in love with each
other.

OIL NEWS.
Special to the Register.

Special to the Register.
Parkersburg, w. Va, March lS.-A
meeting of the counsel of the Henry Oil
Company was held last night at Mariet-
Ia. TO discuss the situation in the IA
nous case of the Henry company, which
involves property worth vast amount
of money. The case is being watched
with interest by operators everywhere,
and is of much Importance 10 the de-
velopers of territory in the fields here
abouts.
The case grew out of a very common
occurrence in the oil business, that OF
one company forfeiting oil property
and then trying TO reclaim it on some
pretext or other when it was found to
be valuable. The Devonian Oil Com
pany held a lease on the Jackman
farm. on Indian creek, now famous for
its gushers, and only a few hundred
feet southwest of the Big Moses. Be
fore any work was done in that field
the Devonian people let this block Of
territory go and stopped paying rentals
thereon. Pierpont, Smith q Roe then
took ND the lease, and later went into
the Henry Oil Company with it. After
the gushers had begun to be found the
DevOnian company came to the front
again. claiming the Jackman farm, and
commenced to operate. The Henry Oil
COMPANY also started a well, but an
injunction was gotten out against them
and all work was stopped. The case
IN, ho nj
at Middlebourne, in Tyler county, and
the rightful owners of the lease will be
decided.
A representative Of Campbell &
Westman. of Butler. Pa, is now in the
Burning Springs oil field in quest Of
territory for that company. The COM
pany may also make investments in
this county
The people of Waverly are much elat-
ed over the Barnsdall well, in that field,
and the late move of the well will great
ly stimulate operations.
Judge Thomas l. Stealey Of this city,
says that the Devonian Oil COmpanys
well on DR.. Stealeys farm, at Wick, in
Tyler county. which was drilled in Sun
day. made $50 barrels the fierst flow.
putting that amount in the tank, and
by an actual measurement Monday the
well made 80 barrels an hour. The
land is owned by Mr.. Stealey's nephew,
and Mr.. Stealey owned the lease on it
severa lyears ago, but sold it for $500
and $50 per month rental about year
ago.

A TRICK AND A FRAUD.

The people Of California are warned that
the men claiming to have been elected at
the so-called Republican primaries in San
Francisco on Tuesday are parading under
false pretenses when they set themselves
up as representing that element of the Re-
publican party of the Fourth District that
favors the nomination of Mckinley.
Neither the men who claim to be elected,
nor the bosses who arranged the farce, nor
the suffers who stuffed the ballot boxes.
are in any sense the friends of the Ohio
statesman. They are using his we'll
deserved honor among Republicans to
gain Fictitious popularity and prestige
for themselves 1t is the old story of the
jackdaw and the peacock's plunage, the
old masquerade of vice trying to shine as
virtue, the old effort of corruption seeking
TO delude honesty by assuming to be in
the service of noble man.
In the conduct of primaries IN this City
there has been played again and again
every form of offensive trick known to
American politics. Some have been farces.
some have been frauds and some have been
downright outrages. That which was
played out on Tuesday under the bossing
of Martin Kelly and Jerry Mahoney was
about the sum OF all these villainies. The
scheme began with trick sprung in the

travel and keep an eye on the trust com pany's
various interests. Some of them are as far
East as Boston, and Mr. Sullivan has made tour
trips there during something like year.
The gentleman was member of the Illinois
Legislature thirty years ago, serving with
Horizontal Bill" Morrison. He was also very
close to "Black Jack Logan" as the general was
long called, when he was aspiring to the
United States Senatorship, to which he was
finally elected. Mr.. Sullivan has been 8 men,
Der of the Chicago Board of Education also,
and afterward was elected president of the
board and filed out that term.
He takes pride in being a newspaper man,
however, and expects to continue his career as
journalist. He is for Senator Cullom for
President, and thinks Cullom will have about
eight-tenths OF the Illinois vote to start on.
Allison would suit the Illinois people, too, he
says, as Allison is, beside being a neighbor, a
man OF high character and ability. Over the
West he notes disposition toward Mckinley,
at least in certain parts.
'I have been in every Republican and Demo-
cratic National Convention for twenty years."
said Mr.. Sullivan, "and have heard all the
great nominating speeches in that time I
think the st. Louis Convention will be one of
rare interest. would not be surprised if we
were to see some of the most stra tegic work
there that has happened in many day. OF
course 1t doesn't make any difference who is

for the nomination which will become his
torical."

night meeting at which forged proxies and
cunning lies were used as means, and
was completed by stufing ballot-boxes at
a farcical primary. To cover the villainy,
the indecency and the futility of all this,
the great name and honest fame of William
Mckinley is now used in the hope that
under that cloak some loval Republicans
will be deceived into accepting the rascal
ity and giving it support.
1t has been just such offenses as these
perpetrated in the past that have made the
primary elections in this City the sources
of thousand forms of evil to the State
and to the municipality. If they are to be
carried on with impunity it would be well
for loyal Republicans of the interior OF the
State to pay no attention to delegates who
go to State conventions from such prlm-
aries. What kind of men are they who,
when the facts have been brought to their
knowledge, will accept an election from
ballot-boxes manipulated by the push and
the pull of Mahoney and Kelly2 Whom
do these people represent? Does any sane
man believe the Republicans of the Fourth
Congressional District accept Mahoney
and Kelly as their leadersY Is any good
man willing to affiliate with forgers of
proxies, midnight tricksters and the stuff
ers of ballot-boxes?
The vote cast at the general Republican
primaries which took place yesterday is an
emphatic answer to the challenge thrown
down by the bosses. In them the loyal
members Of the party found an oppor-
tunity TO cast an honest vote and have it
honestly counted. Against the record of
those primaries the Kelly and Mahoney
gang will rage in vain. The friends OF
William Mckinley are not going to be de-
luded into raking chestnuts out of the fire
for such apes as these. Rascality in poll
tics in the Republican party OF this City
is no longer possible. The true leaders
have come to the front and have found
loyal support from the great mass OF the
party. The corrupt old district bosses
may forge proxies and the petty poll
ticians who follow them may stuff ballot
boxes at bogus primaries, but in the end
they will gain nothing. Honesty has won
the battle, and corruption stripped of it's
old armor can find no cloak beneath
which to hide itself from the scorn of men.

MUSIC AND MUSICIANS.

The italian papers are publishing some in
teresting par ticulars respecting Leoncavallo's
newly produced opera, "Chatterton." 1t was
the first work written by its author, having
Medici." At that epoch the young musician,
as well as being completely unknown, was far
from finding himself in fiourishing fnaneia al
condition. Having no hope of meeting with
an impresario willing to produce his opera he
sought out a music publisher at Bologna
named Trebbi and offered him the score for
little more than the price of a few meals
Trebbi was intelligent and honest. Seeing
that the composer was pressed by want he re-
fused to take advantage of the situation, but
on the contrary aided Leoncavallo as much as
possible and kept the opera till good oppor-
tunity should present itself for having it per-
formed. The opportunity did not come how
