BIGAMIST M'MILLAN HELD

He Waived Examination in the Police Court -

The Two Wives Were Ready to Testify

Darwin McMILLAN, charged with bigamy, was taken from the jail this morning and arraigned in the Police Court. He pleaded not guilty, waived examination and was held for the grand jury.

All of the witnesses in the case were present in court. The Jackson, Mich., wife, who with her five children, was deserted by her husband a year ago, and who finally located him in this city, and caused his arrest, is a thin, care-worn-looking woman. She is evidently heart-broken. Her marriage certificate, which was shown in court this morning, shows that she was married to McMILLAN at Lyons, Wayne county, in this state, February 4, 1874, by Rev. William SOUTHWORTH. The wife's name was Ella A. DENINS and her home was in Rose, Wayne county.

Wife No. 2, who McMILLAN married in this city in February last, and who was in court, is apparently about 30 years of age. She has dark hair, and is quite good-looking. She was neatly attired, in marked contrast to the first wife, who was shabbily clothed. The second wife's maiden name was Margaret Catherine TROMBLY.

Bail in McMILLAN's case was fixed at $1,000. He was unable to secure a bondsman and was sent back to jail. Both wives were held as witnesses in $200 bail each. When this was announced wife No. 2 burst into tears and faintly screamed. Upon her promising faithfully to appear before the grand jury when wanted, she was released. Wife No. 1, who is penniless and has been cared for at the almshouse, was sent to jail, when the accommodations, she was assured, would be much better than the almshouse. Her five children are being cared for by friends in Michigan.

McMILLAN had a conversation with his first wife in court this morning. He appeared to be affected for the first time since his arrest.

MURDERERS' ROW

Police Bound to Clean Up That Section

Raids of Officers Last Night, Followed by More Arrest This Morning.

Judge Ernst's Warning of Three Weeks Ago Has Had the Desired Effect

As a result of the remarks made in the police court a week ago by Judge ERNST, when James CULLEN, the keeper of a dive in Murderer's row on Exchange street, was examined for selling liquor without a license, a raid was made on the row last night and it is thought this will be the beginning of the abolition of the disreputable places, which have existed there so long and which have had a tendency to deter the development of that section of the city.

The raid last night was on CULLEN's place, and CULLEN, his wife, Carrie, and Nellie LYTLE were taken into custody, Fred KEISER and William WILLIAMS, country boys, on whose complaint the arrest was made, were held as witnesses. The two young men came to the city yesterday and soon brought up at CULLEN's place, where one of them claims he drank beer and met the LYTLE woman, of whose charms he became a victim. When their affidavits were drawn up by the district attorney, warrants were issued by Judge ERNST and placed in the hands of Lieut. RYAN and Officers RAGAN, McGUIRE and O'CONNOR who served them.

The case of CULLEN and his wife, charged with keeping a disorderly house came up in court at noon. They pleaded not guilty and the matter was set down for a hearing to-morrow morning. Bail was fixed at $200 each. The examination of the LYTLE woman and the two men charged with being inmates of the place, was also put over till to-morrow. Bail was fixed at $50 each.

Between the hours of 12 and 1 o'clock this afternoon a raid was made on the entire row. Detectives KAVANAGH, DUKELOW, O'LOUGHLIN and McDONALD, Lieutenant RYAN and Officers O'CONNOR, RAGAN and McGUIRE went to the place armed with several warrants which had been issued on the statements of two girls now in the custody of the police.

The dive of Amanda HAMILTON at 105 Exchange street, was visited and here the officers placed under arrest Mrs. HAMILTON, the keeper, and Phoebe BELLINGER, an inmate.

Lottie KING was found in a dive in Pine alley at the rear of the HAMILTON place, and was arrested.

At George LYTLE's place Libbie HAMILTON and Nellie MOORE, inmates, were found and taken to the station. LYTLE was found at work on the new police station not far from his dive and was arrested. LYTLE's place is at 111 and 113.

All of the prisoners were locked up and will be arraigned in the police court this afternoon.

A young woman giving her name as Florence ENOS, was arrested later and locked up. She was in the same dive with Lottie KING.

GOLD CURE FEES

E. C. Sheridan Must Pay Amounts Expended for His Benefit

The case of Charles A. BRAINARD against E. C. SHERIDAN, which was tried in the County Court yesterday, possessed some rather unusual features. Two years ago Devillo W. SELYE met the defendant SHERIDAN in Chicago and induced him to go to Dwight and take the Keely cure. As SHERIDAN was without money, Mr. SELYE furnished the funds, amounting to some $150.

Mr. SELYE was much interested in the work of the Keely Institute and took about thirty persons to Dwight in this way, all of whom afterwards repaid him except SHERIDAN. He refused to repay the amount expended for him and the account was assigned to C. A. BRAINARD, the plaintiff in the present action. The jury returned a verdict last evening for $68.86. This does not include the Institute fee of $75, and another action will be commenced for its recovery.

Frank Harris of North Cohocton Captured in Pennsylvania

Abandoned Wife and Children to Elope With a 14-Year-Old School Girl

Story of His Crime - He Now Languishes in the Steuben County Jail at Bath

Cohocton, N. Y., Nov 27 - Frank HARRIS of the town of Prattsburgh was brought from Pennsylvania last Saturday night by Constable John HOYT of this place and lodged in the Bath jail. And thereby hangs a tale, which briefly told is as follows:

Frank HARRIS is the son of James HARRIS, a resident of North Cohocton, and for some time has lived with his family near Ingleside, in the town of Prattsburgh. He is about 30 years of age and has a wife and two children. During the past year or two he and a neighbor named RAWLEIGH have together worked on shares the farm of Abram BOONE, about three miles east of Ingleside.

Among Mr. RAWLEIGH's children was Flora May, a bright girl 14 years of age, with whom HARRIS was frequently thrown in contact, and for whom, it seems, he conceived a great admiration. The girl was evidently flattered with the attentions paid her by HARRIS and the two became desperately infatuated with each other. This attachment for each other had been noticed and commented upon, but, as he was a man of mature years and having a wife and children, and she a mere child, a school girl, nothing serious was feared or even thought of.

Thus matters progressed until finally the scoundrel went to work to effect the girl's ruin. Young, unsophisticated and desperately infatuated with the man, she became an easy victim to his designs. On the first day of last July she quietly left her home and walked to a place in the neighborhood, where HARRIS met her with his horse and buggy and together they drove to Lawrenceville, Pa., where they stopped at a hotel, registered as man and wife and remained over night. The following day they continued their journey and all trace was lost of them until arrested as above stated.

When the elopement became known in this neighborhood, HARRIS perfidy was bitterly denounced while the grief and humiliation of the outraged wife and distracted parents can be better imagined than described.

After taking counsel, Mr. RAWLEIGH swore out two warrants for HARRIS, one for rape, the other for criminal abduction. The papers were placed in the hands of Constable HOYT, who went to Lawrenceville to arrest the fleeing couple. After spending some time in a fruitless search, he returned home, but did not abandon the case. Bu some clever detective work he learned last week that HARRIS had assumed the name of John ROBINSON, and was working near Morris, Pa. Mr. HOYT went to that place last Friday and, after a little quiet inquiry, learned that HARRIS, alias ROBINSON, was working in a lumber camp in the mountains about ten miles from Morris. Securing the necessary papers and accompanied by a local officer, he went to the camp, easily identified and arrested HARRIS and brought him back to Morris. During their five months' stay in Pennsylvania, HARRIS and the RAWLEIGH girl had lived as man and wife.

HARRIS consented to return to this State with Officer HOYT, without waiting for a requisition. The girl came home with Mr. HOYT and will remain with his family until her parents, who have been notified, come for her. She is a bright, beautiful girl, slight and graceful in form and quiet and modest in manner.

HARRIS will undoubtedly remain in jail until court convenes next month. His crime is a very serious one, and, as his guilt cannot be questioned, he will without doubt have to atone for his henious offence by a term in State prison. The girl being under 16 years of age, he is guilty of both abduction and rape, for which the penalty of the former is five years and the latter from ten to twenty.

This is not regarded as severe by residents here when they reflect that he abandoned a faithful wife and loving children; that he brought unspeakable sorrow to trusting parents, impelled by blind, unlawful and unholy infatuation for a child.

Officer HOYT has shown much shrewdness and tact in working up the case and is entitled to great credit for placing HARRIS where he is likely to receive the punishment he richly deserves.

"Doc" Shaw's Timely Escape From Angry Marion Citizens.

A Coat of Tar and Feathers Awaited Him -- A Bad Nest Broken Up

Tired of Work and With a Companion He Attempted to Start a Disorderly House

Palmyra, Nov. 27 - It has just been reported in Palmyra that a man named Gilbert SHAW, better known as "Dock," living three miles north of this place, was aroused from his bed Saturday night by a crowd of Marion young men with the intention of tar and feathering him.

It seems SHAW, who is unmarried, and one Glen HAWKINS of Rochester, got acquainted about berry harvesting time, and struck up a housekeeping partnership, and one housekeeper not being sufficient for them, they secured two, in the persons of Mrs. Mary J. KING and a young woman named PERRIN of Ontario, who it is claimed have not borne the best of reputations in the community where they have formerly lived.

The people frequently remonstrated with SHAW for his harboring these people. He claimed that he had to have a living, and would not work for it. He had agreed with the women that they should furnish the table board and he provide the shelter. This excuse somehow failed to satisfy the Marion people, and this tar and feathering exhibition was arranged. When the crowd arrived at SHAW's home the inmates were all in bed, and it was with some trouble that "Doc" was aroused. SHAW finally appeared in undress uniform, and as soon as he saw what was wanted bolted for the woods. Another young man, presumably a boarder, made a dash through the window, taking sash and all, and struck a fast speed for the north. Mrs. KING jumped through the same window, but was captured, as was Miss PERRIN. Young HAWKINS, who was ill in bed, was not molested. After rolling the women around on the ground and getting them to promise to leave town at once, they were let go. After searching some time for SHAW, who could not be found, they had to return without using the tar and feathers.

Work of a Jealous Huron Lover - The Mystery Explained

Wolcott, Nov. 27 - The origin of the Huron ghost, which has attained county celebrity, has at last come to light. The following story of the ghost was given to The Union's correspondent by one of the interested parties. Two young men, who worked in the Doty evaporator, were rivals for the affection of a young lady. One was a local resident, while the other young man was from Jefferson county, and a firm believer in spiritualism. The young man from Huron, learning of this, determined to thoroughly scare his rival, and, with the aid of a couple of blue lights and a sheet, impersonated the ghost, which later became the talk and terror of eastern Wayne county. The first seance frightened his rival, the second scared him nearly into convulsions, and the third, sent him post-haste back to Jefferson county. His success as an actor so delighted the young man that he still kept up his nightly vigils, till he learned that a couple of neighboring farmers were on the lookout for his ghostship with guns loaded with bird shot. This discouraged the nightly apparition, and Huron people are now wondering why the cemetery is no longer haunted. Only one or two are aware of the real ghost's identity. In the mean time the young man, alias ghost-dancer, basks unmolested in the smiles of his lady love.

Pittsford, Nov. 27 - Delora, wife of William MEYERS, died at her home in the southern part of the town yesterday, aged 67 years. She was a sister of Alvin NYE. The funeral will be held at 10 o'clock to-morrow morning at the house.

Miss Elizabeth E_THORP, aged 67, died to-day at Mr. SATTERLEE's.

SENECA COUNTY SUPERVISORS

Waterloo, Nov. 27 - The town board of Waterloo has petitioned the board of supervisors of Seneca county to levy and ass_s on the rural districts the second one-third payment of road machines, and have appointed Dr. J. H. HASLETT, physician to the town poor, who is also to perform surgical operations and furnish medicines for the poor for one year. Dr. HASLETT has filled this position for the past five years very acceptably.

The supervisors have adopted the scale for 1894-5 the same as last year, viz: Covert, 63, Lodi, 57; Ovid, 67; Romulus, 52; Varick, 51; Fayette, 67; Waterloo, 152; Seneca Falls, 209, Junius, 60; Tyre, 37. Practice has found the above scale to be as fairly just as any can be.

What came near being a disastrous fire occurring at the residence of A. W. EVANS on Main street Monday evening. A lamp was upset and the burning oil turned out upon the floor. The carpet quickly ignited, and the flames spread to the draperies, which were soon in flames. By hard work Mr. EVANS at last succeeded in extinguishing the fire.

The proceeds of the R. T. of T. benefit supper was about $30.

The following examinations will be held by the Regents at Savannah Union School in January: Geometry, arithmetic, Physics, Algebra, chemistry and advanced English, political and physical geography, spelling and elementary drawing.

Two Girl Orphan Wanderers Thought to be Lost in a Thicket.

Hartford, Conn., Nov. 27 - Lizzie CAREY and Carrie DAYE, orphans, 11 and 12 years old, who said they were from Poughkeepsie, arrived here Sunday and walked to Newington, where they were to work on a farm. They were seen to enter a piece of woods near New Britain, which is in parts very dense.

Several farmers, knowing it to be a dangerous place, followed them in order to save them from getting lost. The little girls saw their pursuers at a distance, were afraid of them, and ran into the thicker parts of the woods. They were too quick for the farmers and disappeared entirely.

Sunday night the male residents of the village instituted a search, but found no signs of the children. Yesterday other parties searched for them. It is feared that if they are not lifeless when found exposure to the bitter cold will lead to their death.

FIRE IN DR. MOORE'S BARN

Small Damage, But a Great Deal of Excitement Caused - Another Fire.

This morning shortly before 11 o'clock flames were seen issuing from an open window in the loft of the south wing of Dr. E. M. MOORE's barn, on Pine alley, and an alarm was sent in from box 53. This loft contained about a ton of hay and half a ton of straw, which was in a solid mass of flames. Six horses are kept in this barn, but we were out on the road when the fire occurred. The remaining four were quickly removed to a place of safety. There were also three carriages housed here, which were also taken out uninjured. The roof and upper part of the building, which is a frame structure, is entirely ruined. The lower portion is not much, if at all hurt by the flames, and its damage is due solely to the deluge of water which was showered on it. The total loss will be about $500, but it is covered by insurance.

The cause of the fire is a mystery. There was no one in the barn when the fire broke out and the barn was locked up. Dr. MOORE's hostler says that a spark from the kitchen stove might have got into the hay through an open window, where the flames were first seen.

A reporter was informed by a person who passed along the alley a little before the fire was discovered, that a man much under the influence of liquor was seen in the vicinity of the barn with a lighted cigar in his mouth.

At 5 o'clock this morning, what might have resulted in a serious blaze, originated on the third floor of the building at 186 East Main street. A. J. BREENE rooms there and when he went away last evening he left an oil stove heater burning in the room.

This heater set fire to the carpet and floor and before long the room was in a blaze. In a short time the red-hot heater ate a hole through the floor and in a few minutes time the burner fell down into the warerooms of J. KOPLHOWICH, a wholesale jeweler. When the burner fell it struck on top of a safe and that is probably what saved the building from a heavy loss by fire. The loss is covered by insurance.

WANTS DA IMAGES

Professor Frank Brown Alleges Malicious Prosecution

Frank M. Derrick Caused His Arrest and Imprisonment, He Says

Five Thousand Dollars Wanted for One Night Passed in a Dungeon Cell.

Frank H. BROWN, a singing teacher of Palmyra and a former resident of Rochester, has commenced an action against Frank M. DERRICK of this city for malicious prosecution. DERRICK, who is the proprietor of a piano store on South St. Paul street, engaged Mr. BROWN last July to sell pianos for him on commission. After they had been associated in this way some time, DERRICK accused his agent of appropriating to his own use the sum of $85 which belonged to him, and accordingly caused the arrest of Mr. BROWN upon the charge of grand larceny. Mr. BROWN was confined one night in a cell at the police station and was arraigned the next morning. Judge ERNST discharged Mr. BROWN, finding that no theft had been committed. Now Mr. BROWN brings an action against DERRICK for his night's imprisonment, and asks $5,000 damages.

The plaintiff is a well-known music teacher and has classes in several towns around Rochester. At the time of his arrest he was organizing classes for vocal instruction, and claims that his imprisonment and the disgrace naturally attaching to that condition was detrimental to his business.

HILL & SHAW are the plaintiffs attorneys and HUBBELL & McGUIRE appear for the defendant.

HON. EDWIN A. NASH

In Line for Promotion to the Supreme Court Bench

The Livingston County Judge in Rochester in His Official Capacity To-Day

Incidentally He Confers With Prominent Republicans of the City -

Constitutional Questions

Hon. Edwin A. NASH of Avon, the county judge of Livingston county, is in the city to-day, and his visit is of special interest to the attorneys and politicians since he is said to be in line for promotion to the Supreme Court bench.

A question is raised as to whether or not Gov-elect MORTON will make temporary appointments to the twelve judgeships created by the new constitution and who cannot be chosen by the people until the fall election.

On one side it is contended that the governor may appoint the judges to serve from January 1st next until their successors are chosen by the people in November. In Gov. CORNELL's term when a constitutional amendment created a new judgeship to be filled by the people he made a temporary appointment, and this is cited as a precedent. Politicians are divided in their opinion as to whether or not Mr. MARION will take a similar course.

If Mr. MORTON decided to make the temporary appointments there is a general belief that Judge NASH will be named for the new judgeship in this district. He is said to have the support of the Republican State committeemen of all the counties in the district. Congressman James W. WADSWORTH, the committeeman of Judge NASH's county, is a life-long friend of the judge and will naturally use all his influence to secure this appointment. There is probably no man in Western New York, more intimate socially and politically with Mr. MORTON than is Gen.<snip> didn't get the rest.
