Breckinridge's many friends here unite
in saying that the suit filed against him
in Washington, Saturday. by. Miss Mad

His friends all believe him innocent OF

Breckinridge. and veteran of the Con-

iieved Miss Pollard to be an adventur-
ess. He said she had three sets OF Wis.,

Madeline VintOn Pollard" Madeline
Breckenridge Pollard" and Madeline
Blackburn Pollard." She would use
the Vinton cards when visiting friends
and relatives of the Vintons, the Black
burn cards when with the Blackburns,
and the Breckenridge cards when
among the admirers of the Breckin-
ridges. She impressed herself on
Charles Dudley Warner so much that
he introduced her into good New York
society. 1t now turns out that she
promised to marry the old gardener.

visit that city this summer, says they
include everything a man prays 10 be

not now and then, but all the time,
and are not troubled about these
things. 1t intimates that it would be
well for those who do not know enough
to go in when IL rains, TO give run
away horse the right-of-way, and not
to lend money TO strangers, to invest in
green goods, cash checks and buy gold
bricks, to remain at home and invest

rushed like a mill race by this town.

young and wiry switchman of the
Norwich d Worcester railway, +. G..
Engel, leaped into a frail roWboat at
the railroad depot yesterday and un-
dertook to shoot the rapids under the
Laurel Hill bridge. The river here is
crowded into narrow channel. 1t
was in a dark gorge between towering
banks. EngePs craft shot down the
incline of waters for ten rods very
rapidly; then it was caught i'm mael.
strOm just above the bridge and
whirled around like top. A crowd
of people lined the river banks, faci-
mated by the probability Of inevitable
death. Engel and his boat were not
two rods from either shore, but he
evidently foresaw that he was doomed
He rose in his spinning shallop, waved
his arms wildly and cried out. Just
then a great billow broke under him
and he was hurled headlong into the
water. For moment or two he struck
out vigorously toward the rocky bank,
barely twelve feet distant, but whirl-
pool caught him and he was sucked
down in the spinning funnel like
cork in a flume. He went down head
first and did not reappear. A line of
awe-struck people on the bank might
have touched him with an angling
rod, but were helpless to aid him. En-
gels body was swept down the bed of
the stream into the Thomas river and
thence no doubt into the ocean. lie

The heavy rain Of Saturday night

Nooksack, bringing down a quantity
of logs, which, with the force Of the
water, carried away that portion Of the
bridge at Everson already erected.
Only one bent, however, had been
gotten into position, and though stren-
uOus efforts were made 10 save the
structure, the rushing waters and.the
logs undermined the false work and II
fell with a crash at 9:l0 O'Clock Sunday
night. The damage will amount TO
$1,000. The water in the NOOksack Is
not extraordinarily high, but 1t was
reported still rising yesterday. The

thought that no further danger need
be feared to any Of the Nooksack

Washington's building Is said to at

had on the ground building
quite a. striking and quite "a
full Of the great products Of nature,
supplemented by her products Of indus
try. But the time for action was suf-
fered to pass. The legislature Of 1891
ought TO have appropriated 100000,
but It was governed by petty consider.
alton, and nothing could move IL. The
governor also has from the first opposed
every proposition to make an exhibit
for the state on this great occasion. The
burden Of the expense has been greatly
exaggerated, for the fact II that the
amount necessary would have made
but an imperceptible addition to our
