Col. Patterson,s Sneech.

Congressman Patterson made an
able argument Monday, and presents
ed his views in forcibe manner.
AS proof that his speech had telling
effect he was frequently interrupted
by Democrats and several times by
one of his collie aguee. Two years ago
Col. Patterson was strong advocate
of silver. This was charged agrinst
him but he parted it by replying that
man who new changed his opin-
lions never grew any wiser He argued
| that the national Dem jcratic platform
demand. d the prompt repeal OF the
Sherman act and as further defense oil
his position said he proposed to follow
Mr.. Cleveland, who was good enough
Democrat for him. Col. Patterson il
for the unconditional repeal Of the
Sherman act and then for post NOR
Item legislation, il any be needed foi
silver. Congressman McDearmon
may vote with Col. Patterson, but
other Democratic members from Ten
nesse are for silver.
The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1893-08-17


the fact that he did not expect TO full
fiji his promise.
It is expected that the details OF the
scandal will be the most sensational
that has ever been given to the Wash
ington public, and especially in regard
to the history Of the children spoken
OF in the plaintiffs story.
Mr.. Breckenridge has always sto( d
very high in the community and his
devotion to the late Mrs. Breckil
ridge, who wac something of an inva-
lid, has often been remarked. They
moved in the highest social circles
and were both popular and respected
The present Mrs. Breckenridge is the
third wife OF the Representative, the
first one having been Miss Clay. a
member of the famous Kentucky fam
lily of that name Since Miss Pollard
came to Washington she has moved
in a most refined and select circle,
chiefly of people from the South. and
has been much admired Tor her bril-
liant conversational power and bright
manners.
DISCHARGED FROM THE TREASURY.
She is rather good looking and has
had public attention attracted to her
on account Of a remark she made on
the death of General Sherman, when
she said that the aDevll had got his
own at last" 1t was repeated to the
Secretary Of the Treasury, who asked
for her resignation upon hearing it.
She had been employed in the Treas
ury, an appointment secure for her
by Mr. Breckenridge, although she is
possessed of moderate fortune suffi
cient to provide for her necessities.
Miss Pollard lost her father and all
her natural protectors at one blow in
the late warand is naturally bitter up
on the subject, fact which often
caused her to say unwise things, and
indeed to such an extent was this true
that many people objected to convers-
| ing with her at the boarding house Ia
4 BILE. Otherwise none but favorable
opinions have been entertained of bel
| by those who met her daily.
In response to a request for state
ment in reply to the charges made by
Miss Pollard, Colonel Breckinridgt
said
l have been in the city only few
minutes and have not had time to ex
anime the papers in this case. Car
only say at this time, before l hev,
had chance to know the extent 0
the allegations made, that hope m,
, friends will believe that these charge
are the charges of yindictiveness, vex
, alton and perhaps of intention t,
. blackmail, and ask that they sus
pend judgment until full hearing
shall have shown all that ia in them
I do not care to say anything lurthe
until | have had an opportunity t
consult with attorneys and thorough
, examine the allegations.

Columbian Liberty Bell.

The work of collecting material for
moulding into the Liberty Bell designed
to commemorate the Worlds Columbian
Exposition, is advancing rapidly, and it
is the intention, if possible, to cast the
bell on April 30th, the anniversary of
the birth of our government in it's COM
pleted form by the Inauguration of
George Washington as the first President
of the United States. 1t is hoped that
Maine will contribute an amount of
money equivalent to one-fftieth of the
total amount, $1,000, required to make
the bell, or, as her share, $40. Consid-
cradle of this has already been sent to
Mrs. F. E. Boothby, who is the Maine
representative of the movement, the Au-
burn schools alone having contributed
$40, mostly in penny contributions. Will
not other schools take held of the work
and secure contributions promptly, so
that Maine may not be behind the other
states in this allegorical movement,
which Will live and be blessing to our
C hildren for centuries to come? Contri-
buttons of medals connected with the
life of James G.. Blaine, Hannibal Ham
lin, Pitt Fessenden and others noted in
Maine craftsmanship will be most well
come. All communications should be
addressed to T. E. Boothby, G.. P. and T.
A., M. G. r. R., Portland.

Mr.. Chas. Brooks, who is 80 years of
ge, was driving a pair of oxen that
were drawing sled loaded with logs
across the Portland & Rochester track
at Hollis Centre, yesterday. when he
saw freight train approaching. He
hurried up his oxen, got them well over
the track and stepped back to make
sure that the load was entirely clear
from the track when the engine struck
some logs that extended out beyond the
others. The logs were thrown off the
sled and came down upon Mr.. Brooks,
breaking one leg below the knee. Drs.
Gordon and Daua were sent for and it is
feared that the leg will have to be ampu
tated.

e. w. Fox, Portland Boy, the Strongest
Man at Phillips Academy.

Mr.. E. W. Fox, of this city, has the
honor of being the strongest man at
Phillips Exeter Academy. Mr.. Jackson,
the academy gymnasium director, has
been measuring the strength of the
various Exeter athletes. The same sys-
tenn which DR.. Sargent uses at Harvard
is used here. Fox, '94, is the strongest
man in the school. His total strength is
1,001, OF about seventy points ahead of
Harvards strongest man. Fox is fine
all-round athlete. Barton, '93, of Tur-
ner's Falls, Mass, is second; Kent, 49,
