Kelly will bo here this morning. When the sun rises he will shine on 1,200 dirt-scarred veterans of a bloodless march to peaceful victory across 1,500 miles of mountain range , arid desert and fertile val ley. U Is an army as picturesque and unique ns the magnificent scenery through which Its route has been pursued. So far ns this army has progressed the only violence lence that has marked Its career has been shown by civil authorities , whoso conduct has been most decidedly uncivil. General Kelly and his aides have the army under the most absolute control , nnd while they havti so far steadily moved forward to the accomplishment of a fixed purpose , they have made no show of force other than to announce their Intentions and then go ahead. In the woods near Sheely Station , where oft the sound of political harangue has wakened the echoes that lurked In the rafters of John Dldam's hotel , the wanderers will this morning enjoy the privilege of eating I > lo for breakfast. No higher tribute to their American independence could have been paid them In the thoughtful provision of 1,000 handsome pies , to be offered In evidence ot Omaha's appreciation of the motives that actuate this singular body of men. Just what disposition will bo made ot the army Is problematic. Yesterday morning Governor Jackson of Iowa announced through The Dee that he would make no display of force other than that needed to preserve order. Ho evidently changed his mind. He Is In Coun cil muffs now , and has at his disposal pcver.U companies of militia. Whether he will op pose the Invasion of Iowa Is not announced. It Is believed , however , ho will not object If It Is understood that the army will bo re moved with no unnecessary delay. Railroads feel called on to say that no transportation will bo afforded the army : and yet there are those who believe that the experience of the Union Pacific will bo repeated , and some Iowa road , probably the Northwestern , will have the honor of hauling Into Chicago Kelly and his troops. The lleo sent a reporter west to meet the nnny. Ho encountered the troops early yes terday morning , and was at once enrolled as a member. During the day ho mingled with the troops , living as they did , and last night lie shared quarters In the box cars with the humble privates of the Industrial army. His dispatches , sent cnrouto , are given below. They are the only authentic ones extant. Kelly's Occidentals will arrive via the Union Pacific within the environs of.Douglas county early this morning. The train twenty-seven box cars , loaded with the Army ot the Commonweal , will bo side tracked for breakfast near the H. & M. via duct nt Shceley's , arrangements being completed by the city authorities to properly take care of the crusaders who are cnroute to the national capital. Tlig Union Pacific officials , recognizing the force ot superior numbers , are submitting gracefully to the demands ot General Kelly nnd are giving the unemployed as good serv ice as possible under the circumstances. At noon yesterday the Union Pacific , hav ing been Informed by Dr. Savtllo that the city would donate 2,000 loaves of bread to the Industrials and that the packing houses of South Omaha would provide 2,000 pounds of cooked meat to allay any pangs of hunger tha tourists might feel , decided to place a box car at the union depot for the reception ot the bread and another car at the depot nt South Omaha for the meat. These cars , after being loaded , will bo switched to the siding near Shecloy , where the cars will bo guarded by special olllccrs appointed by the health commissioner until the arrival ot the train- ful ot box-car artists. Ono enterprising firm ot business men de cided to add to the treat and will have 1,000 pies on hand to feed the hungry. The change In General Kelly's plans as to the army's going to Denver came about through the decided stand taken by the rail road company In refusing to run the train off the main line. It was Kelly's desire to go to Denver , and ho so expressed himself to Superintendent Lurry Malloy at Cheyenne , but the giant of the Union Pacific refused absolutely to allow the train to be pulled oft the main line , and Kelly reluctantly y Ulded. Olllclali at headquarters are kept con- Btantly Informed us to the progress made by the Industrial train , and since the army en tered Nebraska the wires have been kept hot with orders from the chiefs at this end lo Asslbtant Superintendent Park 03 to the manner In which the train shall be run. While the army has been making exceed ingly good time since leaving Ulntnh , Utah , the pare will not be so fast now that the Industrials have entered the confines ot the commonwealth , COMING ON A SLOW TRAIN , U was not the dcslro of the Union Pacific company to land the men In Omaha at mid night , in coiibequence orders were Is sued to sidetrack the train wherever possi ble throughout the night ant ] make a slow run Into Omahn , arriving at the breakfast point about 7:30 : o'clock. What Ocncral Kelly will demand otter breakfast cannot be stated , although It la pretty generally thought ho will Innlsl upon the Union Pacific carrying the train across the bridge , and that Council Iluffs be given an opportunity to provide dinners for the men. men.There There will bo little difficulty experienced by the army In getting away from Council HluffR , OB two or three ot the railroads be tween Council Bluffs nnd Chicago are al ready ucrapplng as to which one will have tha honor of hauling the Commonwealers Into the city by Lake Michigan. In fact , It was Intimated this morning that n general agent of one of the lines had sent n wire to General Kelly placing a train of box cars at the disposal of the army from Council 1)1 ) n IT ft. nut this rumor could not bo veri fied , although n general agent of one of the Chicago lines stated to a lice reporter that should his road carry the Occidental ism through It would bo the biggest kind of an advertisement for the company. Superintendent Mnllory telegraphed Gen eral .Manager Dickinson from Cheyenne Fri day night as follows : "I have talked with Kelly In charge of Industrial army , and he says he has pos session of the train and that It Is his In tention to keep possession of It peaceably If possible , but still to keep possession. Ho says further that he feels the number of men with him Justify this position. Under the circumstances , not feeling able lo com bat with them , will run them through to Nebraska division , using Wyoming division crews and engines. You understand this action Is taken absolutely under compul sion. " In notifying General Manager J. M. Whit man of the Chicago & Northwestern at Chicago of the capture of a Union Pacific train , General Manager Dickinson said : "Tho Pacific contingent of Coxey's army , under command of General Kelly , about 1,200 strong , took possession ot one of our freight trains , consisting of empty box cars , at Ulntuh last night nnd nre at Cheyenne now. Our latest advice Is they desire to go via Denver. We felt we could not take the responsibility of voluntarily transportIng - Ing nn army of unemployed men from one community nnd turning them loose upon another , nnd refused to carry them except at the regular party rates. Their trans portation to Cheyenne was obtained be cause our employes were overawed by num bers and train taken possession of. Will let you know later If they decide to come this Vay. " To this General Manager Whitman replied : "Please advise me of the progress of Coxey's army , where enroute. What action have you taken in the mater of transportation. " Superintendent Nichols also wired that the train reached North Platte at 7:40 : yesterday morning , leaving there about 9 o'clock , breakfast being served at Willow Island , twenty-six miles east of North Platte. At headquarters Information was given out that the engine and crew would be changed at Sidney and that supper would be served at Grand Island. Later Information from Gen eral Kelly states , however , that the men will have supper served them at Chapman. Ono of the amusing features In connection with the Kelly movement was the rumor heard on the street yesterday that General Paul Vandervoort had gone west on No. 7 Friday night to Join the army at North Platte and would hold populist meetings enrouto to the metropolis. , WITH THE DOX CAR DRIGADE. Since the army entered Nebraska The Bee has been represented by a special cor respondent on board the train. After cat- Ing breakfast with the soldiers at Willow Island yesterday. The Bee man left his box car long enough to put the following dis patch on the wire , and then resumed his Journey toward Omaha along with the l.GOO other soldiers. The Willow Island dispatch says : The Industrial army reached this point at 10:15 : and side tracked for breakfast. The train pulled Into North Platte at S:20 and was run to the stock yards siding cast of town , where engines were changed nnd the tourists proceeded eastward after a stop of but ten minutes. There are twenty seven carloads of the soldiers , and they are organ ized Into twenty-one companies. The whole represents the California contingent of the Coxey force. The majority are from San Francisco , with n detachment of about ICO called the Sacramento reserve. The army Is fully organized , the staff officers consistIng - Ing of Colonel Baker , Colonel Speed , Ad jutant Sam Adams nnd Alde-do-Camp Garbl- lutt , who Is a brother-in-law of General Kelly. A chief ot commissary has charge of the entire feeding arrangements and a quarter master looks after the blankets and clothIng - Ing nnd sees that they are made to go ns far as possible In providing for the comfort of the men. The army Is well supplied with provender , the most trouble being experienced In secur ing fuel and water at feeding time. The supply of beef secured at nvanston was augmented nt Cheyenne , nnd nn abundance ot bread was taken aboard at various points. W. F. McLaughlln , president of the coun cil nt Grand Island , arrived at North Platte this morning to look Into the situation and advise his townsmen as to what was best to bo done. Ho has wired from hero that there will bo no need of n special force , which was decided upon nt a special meeting of the Grand Island council last evening , and advises that GOO pounds ot bread and a box of coffee bo provided for the travelers , to bo placed aboard the train ns soon ns It arrives there. The only stop that will be made at Grand Island will bo for the put pose of changing engines. CHAT WITH COLONKL BAKER. The men nre very orderly nnd under exceptional discipline , considering the' short time since the army was organized. Colonel Baker , who Is u Now Yorker nnd a laboring man , says the entire command Is In very good health , with not a serious case ot sickness now on hand. Some of the men nrci suffering from colds , nut the pneumonia cases ere all Improved. He says he had serious trouble at Oakland , \vheru the mayor was ready to use arms , but that the Hurry only awakened the sym pathies ot the citizens In behalf of the army. Ho also spoke ot the difficulty at Ogden , nnd said It did not amount to much , and at no time seemed as serious as did the situation at Oakland. When asked about the Intentions of the men , ho ald : "OhI suppose some ot them merely want to get back east und have no other purpose In view , All of the officers , however , und n largo number of the men will go to Wash ington. I do not know Just what the pro gram will be there , but we will present our claims und Insist on congrt > t > s grunting us some relief. I do not claim that this la the brainiest set of men that was ever as sembled together , but wo average up very well. We huVo a great many laboring men , but we have also a large percentage of skilled mechanics , painters , engineers , bricklayers , plasterers and others \vlio would command wane * U they could get work. Wo nre getting along very well nnd the kindness of the people along the road has been a great surprise. fhey have treated us In a manner that leaves no doubt ot the kinship between mankind. I hope that we will faro as well cast of the river. I am In hopes that we can get another train there to take us further along our road. " The colonel accompanied The Bee man to the engine to ascertain where n stop would be made for breakfast nnd while there re moved a strip of silk flag bunting from his military bosom nnd , calling for n knife , dis sected It and decorated Engineer George Basklns , the fireman and the correspond ent with the badge ot the Industrial army. The engine was also decorated with largo flags. From the open doors of the box cars floated convention editions of Old Glory , and n few patriots maintained an upright posi tion on the tops of the rapidly moving train , holding the stars and stripes In more or less tattered conditions to the April brccz ? . A number of popullstlc banners arc attached to the sides of the cars , some ot which also bear placards designating the company within , as company B , Sacramento , and Fourth ward. One banner tells that while gold Is at a premium humanity Is nt a dis count. Another declares that wealth Is only produced by labor. Talks with the men fur nished very good evidence that the cntlro 1,600 will not continue to Washington , as the thinning out process will begin as soon ns they reach the older states. Even General Kelly pleaded guilty to a dcslro to stop at Kansas City , his old home , or at Qulncy , where he has relatives , but ho will do so to secure assistance. SOMETHING ABOUT KELLY. The general did not appear for some tlmo after the slop for breakfast was made. An attempt to see him at North Platte elicited the Information that he was asleep and could not be disturbed. Another call at head quarters , as the fourth car from the engine Is known , Induced the general to appear. Ho required some tlmo to complete his toilet , one of the first evidences that he was alive being nn order to bring some hot water for the general. When the commander finally stepped from the car he apologized for sleeping so late , remarking that ho had been frequently disturbed during the > night at various stops by people who wished to help the army nnd wanted to see him. He Is n sprightly little fellow under the me dium size and weight , nnd is ns pleasant nnd mild mannered nn Individual as one could care to meet. Ho appears to be un usually inoffensive , nnd there are 200 men In the party who would be picked out for the commander by a stranger sooner than ho. He wears a little blue cap and a short over coat that strikingly resembles n part of the uniform of n Salvationist. He wears noth ing to designate his rank or authority , but Is accorded the most respectful treatment by the men , with whom he converses very freely. He Informed your correspondent that the movement was not duo to the ef forts ot any one Individually , but was the result of an agitation that had continued for a year. "It Is true , " he said , "that a great number of men flocked to the Midwinter fair to get work. They taw ad vertisements In all the papers that men were wanted to work on the fair buildings and they went there by thousands. The situation on the coast Is something terrible , nnd these men were simply starving to death. There are fully 9,000 more there now who nre In the same fix that these men were. They simply hud to get out of there and this Is a logical result of that condition of things. We have been splendlly treated nnd I can not begin to express my apprecia tion of what has been done. We hope we can do ns well hereafter as wo have this far. I hope some road will conclude to help us farther east , but we have made no ar rangements yet , I believe that at least 1,000 of these men will go with me to Wash ington. "Wo propose to ask congress to do some thing for us. I firmly believe that It will bo done , not as a matter of necessity on the part of congress , but as a matter of national pride. The eyes of all the nations ot the world wll1 be on congres nt that moment. Our men are all very orderly , but It Is not discipline , ns you seem to think. There is no need of discipline. The men feel that way and It Is natural. They are largely young men. You do not see the professional tramp here. They are all Industrious. You notice that each one Is doing his part. If one refused ho would find life one great , big burden and would be frozen out , If not posi tively thrown out. Wo had a little trouble of that kind east of Green River , where we stopped. Six very hard characters were on the train and they begged of the passengers on another train that stopped there , as well as of the citizens. The men In the com panies found It out and complained bitterly. The men were arrested and placed In the last car under guard. When we got to Green River they were turned over to the authorities as thieves and bums , as the offi cers said they wcro willing to look after them. Wo had n great deal of sickness nt Ogdcn because of the marshy nature of the camp. H was where the city had dumped Its garbage and was only 100 yards square. Wo had a great deal of malaria nnd lost two men by sickness. Ono was killed by thu cars and wo had to leave two In the hospi tal. There were only three In our hospital car last night. Ono had gastric fever , an other chills and fever and the other was but slightly sick. None of them were very badly off. You might not think It , but It Is n fact that more than half these men nro religi ously Inclined. If you were to. strike up a good old Methodist hymn you woull find they knew the words and would sing It to the end. At Ogdcn we wcro on one side ot the track , citizens on the other sldo and the military between ns. My brother-ln-lnw nnd alde-do- cnmp struck up 'Where Is My Wandering Boy Tonight ? ' with guitar accompaniment. Am sure that fully 0,000 voices joined In It and our men sang with more fueling than any of them. I tell you men like that are not going to violate any laws unless they are positively driven to It. We have nil branches and trades and they nro repre sented just In about the same proportion that you would find In any town. Wo have three or four druggists and they have been looking after the sick and the medicines. Our medicine stock has run low after our Ogdcn experience. " SCENES ALONG THE ROUTE. When the Kelly train reached Lexington The Bee's member of the Industrial nnny tclegriphcd the following : Your correspondent wns Invited to set down nt the headquarters tness , which \vns served on an Inverted dry goods box dumped lu the ditch beside thu track , The partially boiled beef and more than roaatcd. portions of the same material did not emit an at tractive odor , but tha Invitation was ac cepted. The meal lasted about half an hour , and the scene was one of unusual Interest. Scores of teams drove out from Cozad to rco the tourists.

They rwlil make their state entry Into Darmstadt on' Friday , April 20. The Reichstag today continued Its discus sion of the Quixotic1 motion of Count Von Kanltz to fix the price of wheat at 215 marks per ton , rye at 1C5 marks per ton and oats and barley at 155 marks per ton. The motion was a mere pretext -to keep the agrarian agitation allvo and It was so treated. The chief speaker today was Count von Dachem , who denounced the proposal as socialistic. Hcrr Usntngsen , on behalf of the national liberals , also denounced the motion , saying that never before had a motion of such dangerous Import to the state been submitted to the house. Herr Rlchter plated that It appeared that nil the members would un to In the format.n ! of n great party to combat conservative greed. Chancellor von Caprtvl declared that the motion came as n complete surprise to the government and added : "its adoption would cause Germany to bo suspected by the states with which she concluded treaties of commerce of having acted In bad faith. While until now Germany's reputation for good faith has IncrcaseM among foreign na tions , the adoption of the motion would cause mo to lose all confidence and I should not bo lu a position tp continue the direction of the German policy. Furthermore , It would cause a friction.between the various states of the empire ? and as a conservative I cannot but deplore Am Introduction of a measure the originators of which only In jure their own Intercuts and tlioso of the state. " Count von Ltmbergstrlum having defended the motion , Caprlvl again rose and repeated his declaration against the motion and the house divided with the result that It was rejected by a vote of 159 to 46. The minority Incltidedithe anti-Somites , the members of the Peasants union , a dozen conservatives and others. The ofllclal admission of the truth of the reported atrocities In he Cameroons causes Indignation throughout the empire. The only suggestion made as a possible extenuation of the conduct of the German oHlelals Is that their health was affecud by tmhtllmate and that this has caused them to Indulge In such BXCCSSCS as the Hogging of women. Hut the floggings were notby any means the only atrocities which hft * been brought homo to Ihe German officials.of the Cameroons. En gineer Gcrbhard , engineer of the htcamor ts'achtlngalo , recent'y on the Cameroon coast , lias written a letter , published hero , in which lie says that the unfortunate negroes wcro hacked and mutilated \\lth knives , as Governor Wchlau ga\Xj orderH not to ahoot limn.

Reports from Frlodrlchsmh ray that Prince Bismarck Is now more robust and vigorous than ho has been for n long time past. The prlnco takes much longer walks nnd Ima expressed a dcslro to resume his exercise on horseback. Count von Munstcr , the German ambas sador to France , Is seriously tit at Hamburg and has asked to be relieved from his post at the Paris embassy. Emperor William declines to entertain his request. Emperor William has ordered that the birthday of the crown prlnco , Frederick Wil liam , who was born May 0 , 1882 , Is to bo celebrated by a military concert at the Renz circus.

The carl of Kimberly - berly has prepared a number of amend ments to the Bering sea bill , which ho will move In the House of Lords when the bill Is considered In committee. The amend ments have reference to clause 7 , which Is as folows : "Whereupon any proceedings against any person or ship In respect of any offense against the act , It Is provided that If the ship sailed from Its port of departure be fore the schedule provisions wcro published there and that such person or master of the ship did not , after setting 'sail nnd before the alleged offense , receive notice of these provisions , such person shall bo acquitted and the ship shall bo released and not for feited. " The amendments contemplate the Insertion of the words "In any court" after the word proceedings ; the striking out of the words "scheduled provisions were published there" and substituting therefor the words "pro visions of the award were known" and the elimination of the words "receive notice" and substitution therefor the words "become aware. " The clause as amended will read : "Whereupon any proceeding In any court ogalnU a person and ship In respect of any offense against the act could prove that the ship sailed from Its port of departure before tha provisions of the award were known nnd that such person or master of a ship did not , after sailing , and before the alleged offense become aware of these provision ? , such person shall be asqultted and the ship shall bo released and not forfeited.

Grand Chief VUlhliiion Says Ills .Men Had No Itlght to Strllte. ST. PAUL , April II. The Great Northern strike Is still on and movement had been made by either sade for an adjust mcnt of the differences which caused It. There Is no Indication that the strike will receive the co operation of any employe. ? east ot MInot. It Is generally conceded that the telegraphic reports from the west regarding the nature and size , of the strike arc exaggerated. The reason why so little Information can be re ceived from the seat of war Is because the operators of the Great Northern have control of the only wires In that section of country.

Judge Jenkins this afternoon handed down lilii opinion In the motion of tlo | Northern Pacific Railroad company to refer the petition for the removal ? - moval of Receivers Thomas F. Oakcs , Henry C. Payne and Henry C. Rouse to a master In chancery for proof , and the decision Is a complete exoneration of all the receivers but Mr. Oukes. Of the charges against him three will bo referred to a master that accusing him of a knowledge of corruption on the part of the directors of the company In the acquisition of the Northern Pacific & Manitoba railroad , In the acquisition of the Rocky Forks & Cook City line , and that charging him of a knowledge of the fact that Directors Colby , Abbot , Villard and Hoyt were making a profit of $8,000,000 out of the leasing of the Chicago terminals. In all other respects Mr. Oakes' conduct was hold to bo above Investigation , nnd the re maining charges of the petitioners were not considered. It was not conceded , In Judge Jenkins' opinion , that the charges ot cor rupt transactions on the part of any direc tors were well grounded , and ho took partic ular pains to say that no one suspected Mr. Oakes of himself Interested to the extent ot a dollar In any of these transactions. The Judge paid n high tribute to all the re ceivers for their ability and especially' to Mr. Oakes , who was so long connected with the Northern Pacific as an official. The three deals which It Is thought by the court Mr. Oakes might have prevented are said to have cost the Northern Pacific nearly $11,000,000. SHKEl'TKXnKHSJFUOKRlt TO DK.ITII.

PISTOLS FOR TWO ARE NOT NEEDED Denies Any Intention to Cast Ho lleetloim 'on Attorney Stoll ami the J.'pUoilo Knili Ne\vs Itc- eehed In the Senate. WASHINGTON' . April 14. Foreman Charles R. Cole of the civil court jury at 4:45 : o'clock this afternoon announced a verdict for the plaintiff , Pollard , for $15,000 damages from Congressman W. C. P. llrecklnrldgo fop breaking his contract to marry her , thus end ing the long and exciting Drecklnridgc-1'ol- lard breach of promt c trial. Sensations had fairly crowded Into the last day of the trial , there having been some ot the most dramatic scenes which over stirred the dingy little court room , reeking ns It was with the memories of celebrated cases. There was an approach to a personal colli sion between Judge Wll on and Attorney Charles Stoll during the magnificent closing argument of the Washington lawyer , followed by talk of a duel , and Judge Hradley In hla charge to the Jury scored Colonel Phil Thompson ns a lawyer seldom spoken of lu court. The jury retired nt 3:07 : p. m. The first : ballot taken was upon the merits of the case , leaving out of consideration the question of the amount of damages. It resulted In 11 votes for n verdict In favor of the plaintiff and one vote for the defendant. Thereupon the dissenting gentleman was figuratively cornered by his colleagues anil for. some time was argued with. In speaking : of this discussion afterward , Foreman Cole said that the Jurymen displayed fully as great a familiarity with the points of the testimony as had been evinced by the lawyers In their arguments. They laid the case fully before the obdurate juryman , called for the grounds on which his belle ! was based and were finally able to over come him by sheer force of logic. The next question to bo settled was the figure at which the damages should bo rated ami upon this matter there was the widest possible difference. Two or three jurors thought the full amount sued for , $50,000. should bo awarded. Foreman Cole said that a verdict of $1 would vindicate Mlas Pollard , and punish Mr. Drccklnrldge sufficiently , and ho thought It was nut necessary to Imposu any great financial punishment upon him. Discussion of this matter followed , until the usual course was adopted , each Juror writing the amount up.on n slip of paper and a balance being struck. The amounts ranged from $1 to $50tiOO , and $15,000 was the average. Just before the Html vote Judge Dradley had sent a messenger to In quire If there was any probability that a .verdict would bo returned soon. Receiving the reply that the jury was about ready , he entered the court room. Ills entrance of course was the signal for the gathering of tha crowd. Not a woman's face was seen. The room fairly bristled with blue-coated bailiffs , for rumors of Impending traublc had been floating about all day , and there were several detectives In the crowd. The hands of tha clock stood at thirty-five minutes after 4 when the jurors entered. At this moment Congressman Drecklnrldgo , surveying the room for an Instant , entered. Following him , came his son , Desha , and Colonel Phil Thomp son. No one being present to represent the plaintiff , a bailiff was dispatched across the street , -and In a few minutes Mr. Calde- ron Carlisle arrived. Then Jndgo Bradley stretched -out his hand warnlngly to eay : "When this verdict Is announced , for I am Informed that a verdict has been agreed upon , there must bo no demonstration , either of approval or disapproval. " The clerk called the roll of the Jury , and then asked : "Gentlemen of the Jury , have you agreed upon your verdict ? " W13 FIND FOR TUB PLAINTIFF. "Wo have , " replied Foreman Cole. "Wo find for the plaintiff. " An Inarticulate murmur started , when the bailiffs quickly hushed. It was a mere mix ture of vocal sounds , which expressed BO particular sentiment except surprise. . Fol lowing this was an awful pause. Finally the Judge asked ; "For how much ? " "For $15,000 , " answered the foreman of the Jury. Another rustle like the first arose , but was speedily quenched. One man near a window shouted to the crowd outside : "Fifteen thou sand dollars , plaintiff. " lltit ho was not rep rimanded. Colonel llrecklnrldgo rose slowly to hla feet. Those who saw his face say It waa nearly as white ns his beard , but his volco was as clear as usual when ho spoke In a hesitating way , Buying : "I do not know tha practice of this court , but I wish to give thu usual notice of u motion for u new trial. " Ho then dropped Into a scat beside his son , hardly less pale than himself. Nobody wanted to hear the formal adjournment. The jurors filed out. Colonel llrccklnrldgo pulled his slouch hat over his eyes and fol lowed utter them , with his son In his wake , elbowing his way across the hull to the marshal's olllco. The Jurors were ahead ot ilm In the outer olllco , and he pressed : hrough them to the green door before the private office. There was no handshaking : and congratulations or sympathy between .he colonel and any one. Mius Pollard was not In the court room , and her attorney reported that she did not care to say anything about thu verdict. When a messenger reached her room with .ho nous : "Oh ! Isn't It good , Isn't It good , " and then burst Into HOUH. Major Uuttorworth said : "I don't care to say anything , " anil walked away toward tils olllco. There the present Mrs. llreckln rldgo was awaiting events. There Is no reason to bcltmo the rumor that she la about to apply for a divorce Is true , Major llulterworth characterizes the stories iiu wholly without foundation , The case , ho said , later In the evening , would bo fought o a finish , along every available and proper Inc. That Mlsa Poliurd will not bo finan cially bettered by the result of the case In probable , but It U 7 11 understood and hag
