A SOCIETY SENSATION.
Intoxication Given as an Excuse for a
Grave Charge.

WASHINGTON, March 10.--The frequently
deferred trial Of Benjamin II, Milliken, a
well known young Tenne5seean, accused
of house breaking July 4 last, with intent
to commit a rape on Miss Gertrude Phil
lips, daughter of ex-Solicitor General
Samuel F. Phillips, and well known in
society, began in the criminal court here
yesterday, Milliken pleaded not guilty
and thereupon the prosecution and de-
Tense outlined their course
District Attorney Birney said he would
prove that MillilIen called at Judge Phil
lips house on the night of July last,
that Miss Phillips 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 morn
ing Miss Phillips was awakened by
slight noise and an odor of what she
thought was chloroform. The govern
ment contended that as the door was
locked Milliken must have entered the
room early, The screams of his daughter
aroused Judge Phillips and he found Mil
liken on the roof of rear shed, whence he
had fled from closet in the young lady's
room.
Ex-Solicitor General John Goode. ooun-
sci for the defense, contended that Milliken
was not in mental or physical condition
to have committed the offense charged.
There was no intention, he said, to reflect
on Miss Phillips character. His client
not realizing his condition, had called on
the young lady, and though she had ex-
cused herself he entered the parlor un-
noticed by the family and fell asleep.
When he awoke he supposed he was in his
own home, and retired, as he thought, to
his room, learning his mistake when he
recognized Judge Phillips
Judge Phillips, Miss Gertrude Phillips
and her elder sister testified to the facts
stated by the district attorney, and to the
fact that Milliken was a frequent caller.
Miss Gertrude admitted that she and
Milliken had been in love with each other

HOTEL GUESTS STIRRED UP.
An Early Morning Night Shirt Parade
, in Corridors.
THEY THOUGHT THERE WAS A FIRE
But an Investigation Showed That it Was
Caused by an odor Arising From Some
Place Outside of the Hotel-No
Panic Ensued.

At about two o'clock this morning strong
odor from burning rags pervaded the cor
ridors of the Ferguson House and penetrated
the rooms of the occupants to such an ex-
tent that nearly all of them were aroused
by an apprehension of fire. Some of the
more nervous guests rushed out into the
corridors scantily clad and entirely indif-
ferent to the amusement of their more self
possessed neighbors, but none went into
Mysteries or behaved panicky. Mr. Hutch
ison, the proprietor, and his employees were
the first to discover the odor and completed
an investigation by the time the guests
stallled forth in grotesque brigades. The
latter were assured that there was no cause
for alarm and one by one they Withdrew tC
their apartments. One drummer who had a
great struggle with Morpheus before he could
reach the corridor said he was prepared tC
swear Shenandoah is the nearest place on
the face of the earth to ShOel as every time
he comes to the town he is aroused from hi,
slumber by fire. He first visited the town
i'm November, 1888, when the great conaagra
tion swept away about half the town. His
second visit was ON June LIST, last, when the
big Centre street fire took place.
The cause of last nights furry was not
definitely settled. 1t is supposed that the
odor got into the hotel through some win
dows that were left open during the night.
There was nothing in the building to cause it.
The report that new woman stopped at
the hotel last night and set fire to her
boomers while smoking in bed is without
foundation.

ANDREWS AND LEACH.
Both Are Said to be in Earnest in Their
Canvass for Chairman.

Canvass for Chairman.
PHILADELPHIA, March 19.-The fight for
the craftsmanship of the Republican state
committee, between Senator William II.
Andrews, of Crawford county, and Frank
Willing Leach is creating much interest, es-
pecially among the friends of Senator Quay.
EX-Chairman Andrews friends made the
announcement of his candidacy last week,
and on Tuesday Mr.. Leach submitted to an
interview and announced his desire to sue
coed Chairman Quay. He will make an
active canvass in every county in the state.
Mr. Andrews plan of campaign has not yet
been announced. He is now in California,
in Quay's interests, and will not return for
about ten days.
Senator Quay will have considerable in
tluence in naming the state chairman, and
the contest between Andrews and Leach may
make it necessary to name some one else, if
any bitterness is shown. The name of Deputy
Attorney General John =. Elkin, of Indiana
county, is prominently mentioned. lie is
well fitted for the position, and is strong
supporter of the Junior Senator.

A Premature Report.

A Pottsville contemporary announced last
night that Shenandoah Lodge No. 591, l. o.
o. F., had closed bargain with Josiah w.
johnson for the purchase of four lots south
of the Rescue Hook and Ladder Company S
building, on North Main street, for $4,000.
The report was at least premature Mem
bers of the organization say the matter was
discussed at Il meeting held last Monday
evening, but it is not likely that any bar
gain of that kind will be made. 1t is true
nevertheless, that the lodge has de
cided to sell the property ON White street, as
it has been discovered that the site
cannot be used to the advantage expected
when the purchase was made few weeks
ago. 1t is also fact that the lodge has the
inclination and means with which to erect an
opera house, but investigation thus far made
has not presented an available site.

MAY Have Rnse Rnll.

1t is probable that Shenandoah will have a
season of exhibition base ball this year
Harry Bradigan, who so successfully managed
the exhibition season three years ago, says he
is willing to assume the responsibility again.
provided a few good people of town will get
together and give him backing. An exhibi-
ton season would be more popular and less
expensive than league series and the games
would be just as exciting. No one could
wish for better series than that given when
Mr.. Bradigan had the team under his charge,
and he is just the man who can make base
ball a success here.

Independent, Immediately entered
into active religious work. He
was member of DIR. Samuel II.
Cox's church in Brooklyn, and 1t
was there in the days of his clerk
ship that he was called to task by
the elders for leading a prayer
meeting without permission, and
the elders sent committee to see
what he was doing. He loved to
tell that they finally granted their
consent to his continuing the
work, and that the old missionary,
DIR. Thurston, from the Sandwich
Islands, on hearing from him the
objection made that he had never
been ordained as an elder put his

MAUD GOT HER DIVORCE,
Daughter of GOtham's Chief of Po-
lice Free for q Time.

Special to the Globe.
FARGO, N. D., Feb. 17.-In chambers
today Judge Rose granted Mrs. Maud
D. Beekman a decree of absolute di-
vorce from Albion D. Beekman, of New
York. The ground upon which the
action was brought was non-support
and in connection with this there are
many rather peculiar circumstances
There was no appearance on the part
of the defendant. The plaintiff is the
daughter of Chief of Police Conlin, of
New York city, and from that fact
alone the case has attracted an un-
usual amount of interest. The deposit
tions that were taken recite some very
pitiful tales how the young woman
struggled in the large city to keep up
with appearances. Before Conlin be-
came chief of police. he secured po-
sition for young Beekman in the de-
partment, but even with a good po-
sition and a lovely home which is situ-
ated at 127 West One-hundred and
Twentieth street, he could not even pay
for the living expenses. The plaintiff
is pretty little woman about twenty
five years of age, and she has attracted
no little attention in this city. Already
rumors are afloat she Is to wed a
prominent dentist, having fallen in
love with him since she came to the
city. His name is DR.. F. L. Startling,
and he is a man of good family and Of
good standing through the entire
Northwest.

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Feb. IA
great political sensation has been
sprung here. Senator Pettigrew ar
rived from Washington yesterday, and
at once called meeting of his politi-
cal friends. 1t was decided to begin
a most active and aggressive campaign.
The senator has called a mass meeting
to be held in the opera house on
Wednesday evening, at which he says
he will make speech handling those
who are trying to kill his political in
fiuence without gloves, giving their
political history for the past fifteen
years, and proving that they are at
present in the pay of railroads The
other side has bought the Forum, will
turn it into a daily, with George Allen,
of the Brookings Press, as editor. and
will, they say, give him as good as
he sends. The senator's campaign will
be anti-raiiroad and for free silver, and
will extend over the state. Matters
are at fever heat here.
