W. J. Florence and E 8. Chanfrau and several other of America’s leading dramatic stars. The performance which is given as a benefit to Miss Emma Hendricks, late of the Alvin Joslin Combination, was to have taken place on Tuesday even- ing last, but,owing to Miss Hendricks’ condition,was postponed until next Sat- urday evening.

'pwlp 0, By DrGagus & Co, THE CORNED CLARA, She Whe Sipped the Drowsy Drug Prepared by Pete O'Brien, The Boss of the Ranch Willing- ly Ministers to the Thirsty The Scene Changed, From the Star House to Hawes’ Judicial Palace, Where the Entire Tribe Air Their Immorality. Yestetday's iesue of Tug EEE contained a harrowing tale of the taping of a young and delicate girl by on2 Pete O'Brien. The dced was committed in an cld building in this city known as the Star hovss, where the gitl had repaired to make up some beds iu the rooms rented to lodgers by her parents. To make the case more deplorable, the girl swore out a com- pleint Thuredsy evening against her father, on the charge of incest. Be- low we give an account of the pre- liminary examination: THE PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION. The time for the prelimibary ex- amination of the case of the state vs. O'Brien, wasset for 10 o’clock yes- terdaymorning. Longbefore that hour the crowd began to gazher about the police court, and all available stand- ing room outside the railing was soon taken up. * Mr. aod Mrs. Wirth were present as were also several of Wicth's wit- nessos. Mrs. Boss, charged with being an accomplice of O'Brien was escorted into th room by the marshal. During the delay occasioned by the non-appearance of the district attor- ney, the wife of O'Brien made her way through tho crowd, and approach- ing her husband, who was at the time consulting with his attorney, General O'Brien, grasped him by the band and burst into tears. She was handed a chair, which she azcepted. The attorneys for O'Brien were O'Brien & Bartlett. Mr. Wirth's at- torneys, Baldwin & Walters, wero also present. The court appointed Gen. O'Brien as Mrs, Boss’ attorney. It was not until after twelve o'clock that Judge Hawes, upon the conseat of both sides, and in the absence of district attorney, placed the girl uptn the stand, administered the oath and requested her to tell all she knew about the case aganat 0'Brien. THE GIRL is & mere child in years and delicate in appearsnce. She was plainly attired inalight blae dress, her only orna- ment being a plain neck chain. HER STORY, My name is Clara Wirth; I live on Tenth street since we sold out the Omaha house; I will be sixteen years of age the 14th of mext October; I have always heard that Mr. Wirth was my father. I saw Pete O'Brien at the Star house, in room 10, Wednes- day morning; T went thero to make up the beds in some of the rcoms; I left my hat in Mrs. Boss’ rcom, No. 10, and shortly after went back to geta psil. Mr. O'Brien and Mrs. Boes bad & jug of whisky in the room and were drinkiog. They asked me to drink, but I re- fused. They said if I did not drink they would force me. They poured two glasses of whisky down my throat T stood at the window a few moments and felt my head getting dizzy, and asked Mrs, Boss if I could lie down. She said T could. I went and lay down on a bed and went to sleep. In the afternoou O'Brien came in the room where I was on the bed with my clothes on. He took off his boots and lay down beside me. Ho said that ho wanted me to go off with him where he wes digging wells, and that he would get me a good place to work. T sald I did not think I would go with him. He tried to take my clothes off. T resisted. He said ho would spank me, I was very sick and weak, and could not push him away. I cried out for help as lond as 1 could (Hers the girl's modesty asserted itself and she would proceed no further un- il the gaping spectators were request- ed to leave the room, which they did.) The girl forthwith proceeded to tell the district attoraey, who had at this momeut arrived and relieved Judge Hawes, of tho outrage commited upon her person by the man O'Brien. She also stated that hetried the second time to accomplish his purpose, but tbat she summoned all her strevgth, jumped from the bed and ran screaming from the room to the room of one Mrs. May, who lives in tho same building, andon reaching the docr she fell fainting"to the floor, and was taken up by tho lady and placed in bed. Here the states that she remained the rest of the day, all night and part of the next dsy, when she was bound by Officer McClure, who had been sentin search of her. The cross-ex- awination failed to bring out anything contradictory to her previous stste- ments. The "attorneys for O'Brien claimed no case, but their motion for dismissal on these grounds was overruled by Judge Hawes. Argumerts were then submitted by the district attorney and counsel for defendent, the latter claiming that no force had been resorted to. District Attorney Ferguson argued that no evidence of force was necessa- ry when the woman had ben placed under the inflaence of liquor or drugs, and quoted decisions to the point. Judge Hawes held the prisoner in the sum of $500 to await the action of the grand jury. Up the time of going to pressit has not been ascertained when the case of T complaint, that of incest instead of seduction, will have to be made, sinoe the claimg that ot ie e tatpers A 1t pays to trade ab Kurtz's, COZZENS' CONFLAGRATION. storm abated as they had money with which to pay their expenser. The Old Ark Withstands a Heated Term. S At a quarter before one o'clock thia| morning loud cries of ““Fire!” were heard in the ncighborhoed of the old Cozzens house, and the alarm given that that ancient land mark was in danger of beirg swept away by a con- flagration. There was some delay iu giving the alarm, and in the mean- time the Cathedral bell was “tolled. The fire started in the old laundry of the hotsl adjacent to it, which has of late been used for a stable, and the flames soon enveloped the structure and lighted up the neighborhood, de- ceiving the crowds of people that swarmed there into thinking that the old hostlery wes on fire. However, the eonth wing did catch fire, and burning brands falling on the rocf, kindled a little blaze there. But the firemen worked well and £oon had wa- ter playing, which wet down the building well, and ere long the burn- ing building was a smouldering heap of charred timber Tt seemed almost incredible that the old weather-beaten ark could besaved, for it is a regular tinder-box, but the firemen seemed Lo realiza all this and worked with vim, and were success- ful. The smount ot damage done is small, the loss on the main buildiog being very slight, only a hole in the roof and a charred comner of the west wing. The stable was entirely destroyed, but the loss cn this was not great, though there was considerable difficulty in saving the four mules and one horse stabled there. All were driven out, however, with two of the former only lightly scorched. The origin of the fire is unknown, but is believed to have been incendia-. ry. M. Gillen, who has slept in the barn for some time, told a BEE re- porter that from some cause he waked, and found the stable full of smoke. He got out of it as soon as possible, when it was instantly wreathed in flames. He says that he saw traces of cval oil on the outside of the bu lding, as though splsshed there in order to feed the fire. Others who were early at the scene express themselves 2s beirg of the same opiaion. 1t is most likely then that this is the explanation of the origin of the fire, since there is nove other that csn be reasonably altributed. The many dwellers in the old kotel were badly frightened, ard the build- ing presented every sppesrance of a bee hive with swarms of bees crowding through the front entrauce. ——“The Finest” Cream Soda Watcr at “Bew’s Drve Store.” cod3tJ11 The auction at Whipple & Co.’s still continues.

The school rcom of Brownell Hall was more than crowded Thursday even- ing with an audience who assembled to witness the sixteenth annual com mencement exercites of that institu- tion, The graduating class conaisted of Missen Carrie L. Bennett, of Platts- mouth, Neb.; M. May Dundy, of Falls City, Neb.; Margaret J. Mox- well, of Fremont, Neb.; Jean Mor- ton, of Nebraska City, Neb., and Fannie D. Wall, of Wallville, Md. This is the ninth class that has gradu- ated from the institution, and the first since 1677. Each member of the class delivered an essay: Miss Morton's was entitled “The Missing Link,” Miss Dundy’s “The Influence of, America Upom Americans,” Miss Wall's “We Carry the Fortunes of Crsar,” Miss Wax- well's “Mother Nature's Index Fin- ger,” and Miss Bennett's “The Head Light.” Miss Bennott was the vale- dictorian of the clsss. All of the essays evinced deep thought, careful study and mental power, besides showing that the young lsdies have been through s moat thorough course at the hall. It is regretted that lim- ited space prevents giving an abstract of the prcductions. The musical part of the programme was also well worthy of specisl men- tion. The opening chorus was sung by Misses Dundy, North, Clarkeon, Ambrose, Maxwell and Liniger. Miss Dundy rendered a solo, the “Kerry Dance.” Miss Maggio Botkin, whois a splen- { did musician for one £o young, execu- ted a selection from the ‘‘Bohemian Girl” with muchspirit and expression. Mieses North, Wilson and Maxwell executed a trio, “The Cuckoo’s Call,” in & manner to call forth the hearty enconiums of the audience. Miss Hall execatod an instrumental solo from Chopin, with precision and spirit, Misses Trabing and Ambrose ren- derod ““The Flower Giris” ina capti- vating style. Miss Maxwell ssng a solo, “The Watcher,” in a fine, clear alto. cult selection from Meundelsshon, in & maner that showed hor to be a thor- ough musicisn. Miss Grace Mason executed a diffl- | s recolpt by the aforeraid provost marshal, but which has since been clearly provea to have been a feand, was delivered to him. In the course of tims he driftcd to Omaha, and has recently placed him- self in communication with a promi- nent law firm here, who, suspecting & huge nigger in the woodpile, opened a correspondence with the adjutant gen- eral at Des Moines, and received the - information that no such transastion was recorded, and n> such receipt ever existed in the office. A Yesterday suit was commenced againat the bank for $875 and interest to da'e—about $1000, besides addi- tional damages for unlawful retent of money. The firm propose to push the case and make it hot for the bank over the river, if the officials do not come to time. The whole case looks as if there was a clear sttempt by the bak to de- fraud the man of his money, as sucha dispcsal of the funds as they claim was made would have been irregu'ac in the extreve. The receipt could easily Have been obtained of some discharged provest marrhal, cousequently ro forgery was necessary. The bank may, however, be sble to explain the matter in a satisfactory manner, but it is ex- tremely doubtful. _ SPECIAL NOTIGES, T NOTICE—Advertisements To Let For Sale, Lost, Found, Wants, Bosrding &c., will be ln- sertad In these columns oncs for TEN CENTS per ling; each subsequent insertion, FIVE CENTS per line, The first lusertion never less than “fORZY TO LOAN—Cal at Law Offico 'THOMAS, Room 8, Crelghton Bi ONKY TO LOAN—1109 Farnham st DM 5 sivaris Toun Agency.
