C. P. Breck inr’.dre of Kentucky, and in cause- I q-onoe there was a crash at the cir court this meaning. Those who nar.rred to pass the inspection of j doorkeepers were unusual- | lv numerous and distinguished in iVpearanee. They were able to get »a early sight of the principals in »;>■ esse- for Miss Pollard and Mr. j lire -kinridge had appeared earlier than Lai been their custom. The j plaintiff looked somewhat worn by i the '■train of the trial, but the con gressman defendant beamed with his perennial freshness and shook hands with the array of lawyers and rela tires around the tables of the defense, while his slender antagonist busied hers; if with her morning mail, which seetnei to include a great variety of epistles, most of them written in feminine hands. After the lawyers had rustled their papers for a quarter of an hour there wa, a ripple of great surprise, for no less a personage than the plaintiff herself walked around to the witness stand and took the chair directly facing Colonel Breckinridge and the whole room full of men. -My father was a saddler,” said Miss Pollard coolly, in response to an interrogation. “He died in 1876. My father was an Odd Fellow and a Ma son and members of the grand lodges of the state attended his funeral. He j left no estate. Two of my sisters were taken to lire in the Odd Fellows’ home. My mamma said 1 was born ■ on the doth of November, 1866. I always supposed that was the date of my birth and attached it to all my papers on file in the civil service bu reau. Mr. Breckinridge indorsed all ■ those papers.” -When did Mr. Breckinridge meet you in 1892?” asked Mr. Carlisle. "In one of the last days of August, I'fO. he met me at the Baltimore and Ohio depot in Washington. He put both arms around me, kissed me, drew my arm through his and led me to a carriage. He told me that all his children had grown up, that he had determined to marry me, and 1 said I would marry him.” Witness had stopped at 25 Lafayette square for a few days during that visit and had seen Mr. Breckinridge every day. She added: “He said that he had married his second wife fourteen months after the death of his first wife, and a year after the death of his second wife would not be too soon to marry me. I told him we ought not marry for two years and proposed to go with Miss Willard on a school trip for yonng ladies in Europe, lie said 1 must not go and leave him living in rooms—a thing he had not done for thirty years. He put it on the ground that I would be selfish to go. and I did not.” A letter dated Gray Gables, Buz zard's Bay, Muss., in October, 1892, from Miss Catherine Willard, and which referred to the proposal that Miss Pollard Join the European party, was read to the jury. Breckinridge paid the expenses of Miss Pollard on her New York visit in the fall of 1892. When he was in Washington she saw him every few days. The question of marriage wa brought up at that time and, although no date was fixed, the colonel always insisted that a year after his wife's death, which would be in the spring of 1893. would be the time most suita ble to him. Once on a lecturing trip to New England she accompanied Mr. Breckinridge. During her stav at Mrs. ihomas'. at 1918 H street, Washing ton. 1892 and 1893. she had seen Colonel Breckinridge always once a day. sometimes twice a day and often in the evening. She had spoken of the engagement to Mrs. Thomas aud she repeated the circumstances plated by witness Francis, pronocne ing the name “Frawnees,” as did the young man. Breckinridge had ex pressed regret that she bad met Fran ks. because he knew many Kentuck ■ans and the engagement would be spread all over Kentucky before they were ready to have it known. The visit to Mrs. Blackburn was also rehearsed by Miss Pollard, who de clared that Colonel Breckinridge had introduced her to Mrs. Blackburn with these words: “I want to place this ■ young lady under your protection, for j * intend to make her my wife. She is ; a great deal to me now and will be a | great deal more.” She repeated ! the circumstances of Colonel j Breckmridge's visit to Mrs. leak burn when he had explained t° her the engagement and spoke also of the instance when Colo nei Breckinridge had placed his arm around her, saying: “He was most affectionate and most kind.” “I asked Mr. Breckinridge then,” she declared, J as he was talking of going to Chica go. to name the day when he would ®arrv me. I think I knelt down be side him and put one arm over his shoulder, bat Mrs. Blackburn ob- 1 lected.” in;s was on Sunday, May 14. 1??-. preceding day she had visited the office of Dr. Lincoln with Colonel "reekinridge and gone to the office of ioitf of Police Moore, a visit which 'oat official had described on the stand. The second visit was on May L to Major Moore. Then going' back almost ten years J° the time of her first meeting the defendant. Miss Pollard testified: “In "P'-il, 1684, I was called to see my *|Her who was sick at Frankfort. Khodes had put me on the car at Lexington. Before ll"‘e train had gone far a gentleman ca°e to me saying: ‘Your face seems very familiar, don't I know Tou?' j replied: ‘I think not, but I *now you. Yon are Colonel Breckin- , ridge.' fie asked me if tae eonld am ! aad see me. I said: Tdy mother and I anat wtU he wy glad to see yon.’ I After a start conversation he left me.” Miss Pollard's verson of her relations wall James C. Rhode* did aot vary essentially from the accounts hereto fore published. She then told of how i she had sent for Breckinridge tend- i vise her regarding Bhodes' threat to I eompell her to marry him. the i manner in which the congressman i iiAd put himself ha the position of a relative in the sight of the ! school principal and others She ' also related the incidents of his early ! visits to her at the school mi«i «»wi , that he urged her to go elsewhere j with him in order that they might he ! B.bl* to eonsultover the Erodes matter I more unreservedly. The second time j he came to see her be took her riding i in a, closed carriage, saying tt»y air at- i feeted bis throat. Breckinridge furnish- j ed tbe money to defray ber expenses at ; Cincinnati and st tbe foundling asv- j Inm. Breckinridge bad taken her to j tbe Elsmere in 1887, where she passed ' under the name of Mrs. Foster, Brest- : inridge representing himself as Mr. Foster. She left Elsmere in a few i days because Colonel Sara TV alter v>»>» | recognized Breckinridge and had told j people in the house that his name was not Foster. Attorney Stoll asked if she still had j a certain note from Colonel Breckin- I ridge which was mentioned casually and Miss Pollard replied: "I presume j it is destroyed. Colonel Breckinridge always told me to destroy all his let ters and 1 obeyed nntil recently.” Colonel Breckinridge had ' taken ! witness with him on several occasions j when be went ont of the city to ad dress religions bodies. He had given her no reason for tbe several post ponements for the dates fixed for their marriage and she bad never asked for any nntil the scene in the office of Colonel Moore. “From the night he took me to Sarah's in 1884,” said she dramatically, ‘•‘there never was a suggestion of a discon tinuance of those miserable relations, until he left me with all sorts of promises, pleadings and loving words May 19, 1S9S.” Miss Follard produced, on reqncst of her counsel all letters and tele grams from Colonel Breckinridge that she had preserved. They abound in terms of endearment and advice af fecting her condition. There was also a copy in Miss Pollard's handwriting of a note she had sent tbe defendant, which began "My Dear Willie.” Miss Pollard's frame was shaking with suppressed emotion when she was taken from the court room -on the arm of the elderly sister from the home of refuge. WAGE CONFERENCE OFF. tnioB PwiSr Employes Bstin to Treat oa the Receiver** See Terms. Omaha, Neb., March IT.—The pro posed conference between the em ployes and the receivers of the Union Pacific has stopped at least tempo rarily, the men ref using to appear to day before President Clark and begin their arguments. This new phase of the situation was caused by the fol lowing statement by Mr. Clark which was given last night to the head of each organization of employes repre sented at the preliminary meeting yesterday: The receiver* of tbs Union Pacific system insist: First—Thm: none ol the roles, regulations or schediges wnh respect to ttie wave ■» ot the employes or the Union Pacific system which Vrre in loroe prior to the receivership, con stituted CLCiracts or established contractual relations between any of tbe corporation-, em braced in the Union Pacific system and the employes beeond—That if any such contracts or con tractual relations existed, they were executory in character and not in any manner binding upon the receivers appointed by the courts to administer the railway lines and properties ol the Union Pacific system as a trust estate If either of the above propositions are de nied by any of the employes, an issue ol law is raised which must be submitted to the court for detasion. and with respect to which there is nothing to negotiate The receivers have sought to put into fores and effect new rules, regulations and sched ules governing the employment and pay of three classes of employes First, engincmen: second, trainsmett and third, operators On behalf of the receivers and by order of the court, I am here io negotiate with the proper re preset tatives of the three classes of employes above named eon cemin; the fairness and justice of the new proposed rules regulations and schedules of pay.

SHE. CfiAKX. For the Receivers. When the hour for the convening cf the conference arrived this morning not a man of the employes put in an appearance at headquarters. They held a private conference of their own. and decided they would never submit to the order issued by the re ceivers. It is believed that noth'ng will be done until United Stotts Jnigi Caldwell shall act. So Law Again* Insolvent Bankers. Gleswood Sfmivgs, Col.. March IT.— The case against J. T. McLean, presi dent of the defunct Newcastle bank, indicted for receiving deposits after knowing the bank was insolvent, has been dismissed upon motion of the district attorney. A. M. Stevenson, who defended McLean, contested the constitutionality of the law under which he was indicted and proved that, although the bill had been sigDed by the governor and printed on the statutes of Colorado, it had never been placed on its final passage before the senate and hence had never be come a law. Chine** Convene Sliil Satjecti. fairnnu, March IT.—A proclama tion by the government of the prov incc of Kiang reminds the native con- j verts to Christianity that they are still Chinese subjects and. on ti e other band, non-converts are exhorted to ! consider the former still as brethren ! and to put aside further doubts and , suspicion about them. hut. while th.s ; is so, converts are warned against re- , lying, because of their entrance into a , foreign faith, too much on foreign ' protection, for in that case they will i be punished with tbs utmost rigor. j DENVER'S WAR OVER.

Hester, Col., March 17.—At 6 oeilock last Eight Governor Waite or dered the state troops which had hoco in battle array before the city hall all afternoon to return to their armories. This left the police and deputy sheriff* in fall control of the held and during* the night all was quiet. This morning the militia was not called out again and np to noon all j was quiet about the city hall. last night in obedience to the gov ernor's request, fire companies of United States troops came here and camped at the union depot. At 10 o'clock this morning the governor held a private conference with General McCook of the I'nited States army. This lasted but a short time and it is understood was exceedingly peppery, the governor being very angry because General McCook refused to aid him in his purpose to seat the new commis sioners, but declared that he won 1 d confine himself to dispersing the crowds and maintaining the peace. At the termination of the interview tbe governor sent General McCook the following letter: X. Met) McCook. Brigadier Goners! United States army, department or Colorado Yesterday at about 5 p m on tutornial notice that you would put seven companies ol Lite United Stales troops in Denver at my call I Interred that your object was to assist tbe state in tbe enforcement or tbe law, as you were present in Denver and knew that tbe city companies or tbe national truarfl bad been called out by me as commander in -chief and were ut the time on duty in tbe streets near the city ball. 1 merer ore requested that you move the Untied States troops to the city, but 1 was careful to specify 1u my letter that tbe object of tbe call or the United States troops was that they might assist the state troops in tbe execution o! tbe laws and in pre ventin': bloodshed In ooTersaUnu with you this moraine: at your office 1 Hud that in your opinion you have no such right I therefore most respectfully withdraw my request for Untied Stales troops Very raspectrully, Davis H Waits. Governor of Colorado. This letter is taken as an evidence that the governor is weakening and will soon accept any reasonable prop osition to compromise that may be of fered him. This belief is strength ened by the fact that tbe militia guard at Douglas place, where Governor Waite resides, was sent hack to the armory this morning and for tbe first, time since 4 o'clock yesterday after noon the bniiding was left unpro tected. The police force, greatly reinforced, are still under arms at the city hall. It is understood their fighting force numbers about SSO men and that un der no circumstances will they sur render. Governor Waite's order to all com panies of the Colorado national guards to be at their armories at 9 o'clock this morning has not yet been followed by an order for them to come here. The guards number TS5 enlisted men, ten commissioned officers and a four gun battery. All of the city offices were opened for business this morning, but there was little going on. A few policemen were sent out on patrol duty, but most of the force was continued on guard in the basement of the city hall. Judge Graham, who issued the in junction against Governor Waite and police board, restraining them from interfering with the old members, said: "I shall take no action on the application made to me for a writ of attachment for Governor Waite for contempt unless there is some change in the situation.'1 FEDERAL r*OTE7TIOX BESOUGHT. This afternoon a telegram signed by all the bank presidents and by other leading business men was sent to the Colorado senators and repre sentatives, setting forth the present trouble and making the following plea: So }omr ms tbe United States troops remain here tbere will be no further dl, turban be If removed we anticipate a renewal of tbe tu mult of yesterday and probably a bloody riot, as tbe governor has ordered all tbe organized militia of the slate to Denver We solicit your lnfiqenoe with tbe administration to keep the troops here with orders to assist tbe sberiS in maintaining peace until tbe matter can be adjusted in tbe courts, la tbe event of such a riotous state of affairs, it is inevitable that government will probably be destroyed Immediate action is highly important General McCook did not answer the governor's letter and will take no further action until he hears from Washington. He declares that Gov ernor Waite, in his letter, makes sev eral erroneous statements, one of which is that he stated for what pur pose he desired the government troops. He says that the governor did not specify for what purpose they were wanted. All last night the governor's house was guarded by a detachment of the state militia and no one allowed to enter until after his business had been stated and the executive given his consent to see the visitor. Thousands of people were on the streets about the city hall yesterday afternoon, and fully 300 police and depntv sheriffs were in the bniiding, armed with revolvers, Winchesters and shotguns, when the First regi ment of the national guards and the Chaffe light artillery marched down the street. As soon as the Gatling gun had been placed in position and the troops had deployed for action Brigadier-General lirooks sent a mes sage to Folice Lieutenant Clay, who was in command outside the building, declaring that if Orr and Martin did not surrender in half an hour the troops would be ordered to fire on the city halL The situation was most critical when a committee of prominent citi zens appeared and entered, into ne gotiations with both sides for arbitra tion. During these negotiations a truce was declared. From 3 p. m. until 0 p.m. the state troops were up in line of battle, and the City hall forces were for action. Flw Tears for Dink Wncken.

The passage of the measure freshens gossip as to its fate at the president's end of the avenne. It is the consensus of opinion that it will became a law, although the president may allow it to pass to the statute book without his signature. This opinion is enter tained by nearly every man conspic uously identified with the debate on the bill, including enemies as well as friends Mr, Traoey of Sew York is the only exception. The president is believed to be not personallv pleased with the measure, but be is desirous, whatever the mono maniacs as well as moucunetallists may say, of giving silver reasonable recognition. GIGANTIC LAW SUIT PROPOSED it arm Be ter «*4 win m Against tie Inion l-ncthc. Washisotox, March 36.—One of the most important propositions yet sub mitted to congress was presented to the house to-day by Representative Boatner of Louisiana. The proposi tion recites numerous defaults of the Union Pacific railroad and contiguous lines to meet the debt doe the United States. It charges the present and past directors of the road with a violation of their trust, and improper absorption of outside lines, and the voting of dividends contrary to law and against the interests of the U nited States. It directs in the form of a joint reso lution. that the president shall appoint special counsel to institute suit against the present and past directors, their heirs and legal representatives, to collect S35,000.000 and interest dne the United States. With interest the amount of litigation would exceed , 540,000,000. It will be thy largest law suit ever instituted in ibis country, if not the largest in any eouutrv. By the terms of the resolution the department of justice is relieved from further action in the Union Pacific cases, and the suit is to be prosecuted by special counsel as a special case. The joint resolution places $100,000 at the disposal of the president for the employment of counsel. FLAG OF TRUCE RAISED. Tin luldpa! W«i at Eptfl Baa Abated Temporarily. Exiit, Ok., March 16.—The munici pal war in Enid has abated to some extent, a partial compromise having been effected between Moore and Gregg. Gregg is to act as mayor until the spring dec lion, when he will step down and out, as will also Moore, neither of the leaders having been nominated for a local office. The com promise was effected after consider able parelying between the leading citizens of the two factions who have business interests that are being sac rificed on account of the warfare. Both sides are suspicions, however, and will not permit any advantage be ing taken while the flag of trace is up. There is a temporary abatement of hostilities, but individual members of the two factions are on the alert. Nearly every citizen of the town is go ing heavily armed, concealing their weapoas as much as they can for ap pearance's sake._ RETIREMENT NECESSARY.

Itaarrrai, Co!., March 1A—Late last night Governor Waite issued an order lor the First regiment of the National Guard of Colorado and the Chaffee light artillery to assemble at their armory at 1 o'clock this afternoon un der command at Adjutant General Tarsney for the purpose of installing the new police commissioners in office hy the use of force. Sheriff Burehinell has sworn in a large number of deputies and these, with the entire police force were at the city ball to-day prepared to resist the militia. All were heavily armed with revolvers and rifles. Chief Pearce of the fire department made early arrangements to assist in the battle by stringing lines of hose throughout the building ready to be attached to the hydrants in 'order to greet the advance guard of the oppos ing forces with streams of water. Should the water prove unavailing in protecting the hall from the invading forces, the men were so stationed as to open fire from behind the walls of the city building. At noon Sheriff Bnrchinell tele phoned to Fort Logan to ascertain whether, in case of need he could se cure any assistance from the govern ment troops there. The answer was that the commander of the fort could do nothing until he had telegraphed to Washington and received orders from the war department. Messrs. Wells, Taylor and Taylor, attorneys for Messrs. Martin and Orr of the old board whom the governor wishes to drive from office, declare that should Governor Waite with the militia attempt to interfere contrary to the injunction granted by Judge Graham, he will immediately be ar rested for contempt of coart and thrown into the county jail. At I o'clock a conference between the two factions was held in the state house looking to a compromise of tha trouble. A telephone message from the state armory at Twenty-sixth and Curtis streets, received about that time, was; "Two hundred and fifty militia with Gatling gun and battering ram has left for the city ball under command of Colonel Hogle." It is reported that the troops have orders to fire on the building imme diately on refusal of the police to ; grant them possession. A cor Ion of | armed police surrounded the city hall. The tenants of the city hall have ; been notified to take out the women | and it is thought fighting will begin | within thirty minutes. dbawx rr tx battle Aun.iv. ; At I;50 p. m. the militia arrived at j the earner of Sixteenth and Lawrence ! streets at tha old chamber of com merce building and was drawn up in line of battle. The Gatling guns were t rained on the city hall ready to open fire. The police were drawn up ■ had evidently iatnidtd to Uow cp the historic church «f the Madeleine, one of the most mimmed struct urea of Europe, this afternoon dnrrnf Lenten services, tea* by a jmmtm explosion of his bomb, himself bam almost to pieces while the sacred edi fice was not seriously injured. The explosion occurred shoot ra hour before the regnlar thna ter Lenten afternoon services and few people were b> the ehnroh at the than. In consequence, the wretch was the only victim of his madnesa it I* me general belief that the Au arehist vu lurking in the strurtnru w ith a bomb under his coat waiting fnr t he u»tnW ing erf the worshippers, when in some way the chemicals wen jarred and the explosion followed. As noon as the explosion occurred a | crowd of people rushed into the 1 church for many cries were heard i from the interior. The place was ' filled with smoke and the shrieks and | frroans of apparently a acmler at j wounded peopie could he heard. nrr wuxtoji nonnrm.r haihc/h. Near a small door on the right of the maiae entrance of the church was found a shattered human body, For a time, owing to the smoke and ex citement, the people who made this discovery did not dare to penetrate any further, hut as the smoke cleared sway and the people regained their presence of mind, it was seen that the body was that of a man whose vital t organs had been scattered in all di rections, while his blood was spattered : over a large area. V pon the body of the man were found a number of papers and a por trait of Kavachol, the guillotined An archist. " hen the smoke had entirely cleared away and examination was made of the premises it was seen that the bomb or infernal machine which had been exploded prematurely while in possession of the Anarchist had done but little damage to the church, A strong force of police was soon on the soene of the explosion and in a very brief period not only the church, but, the whole Flaoe de la Madeleine was in possession of the authorities and every person in the neighborhood ! of the church was placed in custody | until the police had satisfied them ; selves that each one had no connection | with the expl osion. On all aides were heard expressions I of fierce indignation against the Aa I archist* and if the excited crowds had been able to lay hands on an accom plice of the wretch there is no doubt that he would have been torn limb from limb. The door by which the bomb throw er must have entered the chnrch, no cording to the police, was the cause of his death and. as a police official ex pressed, ♦•God’s justice was done.'* This door, it is explained, opens and shuts with a heavy swing, and it is believed that the bomb thrower, pushing open the door and having tbe bomb on his person, forgot or did not know of the sirong spring and, in closing, it struck him and exploded the bomb,_ BAD FOR BRECKINRIDGE.
