that either Miss Pollard herself or her
brother designed to shoot him, and that
before coming TO Washington he COM
municated with the police department
asking them to give him protection. De-
tectives Weeden and Boardman were de-
tailed to protect him and they have
been at the capitol whenever he has
been there and have also watched over
him on the street. 1t is understood that
detectives have been shadowing Miss
Pollard also in order to give warning
or perhaps arrest her if she came to the
capitol or went elsewhere where it would
be apparent that she was trying TO put
herself in Mr.. Breckinridge's way.
1t has been feared for some time that
the case would be one Of homicide in
stead of breach of promise, and Ii is
said to be a relief to Mr.. Breckenridge
TO have it go into the courts rather
than to be constantly in fear Of the
matter being settled more promptly out
side of the law.
Many society people who have kept in
formed on the developments of the affair
with Miss Pollard are quite sure that
Mr.. Breckenridge will be required by the
courts to pay round sum to that young
lady in the way OF damages. Miss Pol
lard's attorneys are known to have in
their possession letters written to her
by the congressman which show clearly
that he promised to marry her. 1t is
said that the plans for their proposed
marriage last May are set forth in his
handwriting.
The attorneys have also heard from
the lips of several prominent society
ladies the facts which they are ready to
testify to when the case comes up. At
least three of these ladies will swear in
court that Mr.. Breckenridge told them
he was engaged to marry Miss Pollard.
The attorneys, therefore, view with
equanimity the effort TO break down the
young wOman's allegations.
1t is also declared that most of the
members of the Kentucky colony uphold
Miss Pollard. They say that the charge
that she is an adventures, trying TO
blackmaiI. is fully disproven. In the
first place she comes of a good family
and is possessed of fully as much wealth
as Congressman Breckenridge is. In
the second place she was introduced in
Washington society by the distinguished
member and at times aided his first
wife in receiving. She was treated by
him for years as protege and he was
everywhere looked upon as her guardian.
There has been some talk of compro-
mise in the case. but it cannot be traced
TO any reliable source. The only reason
for the rumor appears to be that it is
thought the defendant may be unwilling
to let the case go on trial However il
is believed that the defense will have
some important allegations to make and
that the statements in the plaintiffs
case are not all of the story.

BOMBAY. Aug. 19.-The religious riots
which broke out in this city a few days
ago are extending. Up to the present
time more than fifty persons are known
to have been killed and fully 1900 have
been arrested. Burial parties today
were accompanied by strong pickets, in

tackled by religious opponents.
Further reinforcements of cavalry
have arrived from Poona and are biv-
ouacking in the streets. The queen has
sent a telegram to Lord Harris, gov
ernor Of Bombay, expressing grief on
account of the riots. The newspapers
refer to this trouble in mild language
and deplore the fact that troops were
not called out earlier.

waiting for the day clerk to relieve him
shortly before Z o'clock. He stepped in
to the wash room and while there ne
says he heard a queer rafting noise in
the Office which might have been caused
by the falling of a lamp. He continued
his ablutions, however. thinking for the
moment that the noise was caused by a
passing wagon. Soon he caught the
odor of smoke. On opening the wash
room door he found the hallway and Of
flee full of smoke. He raised the cry of
fire and made his escape down the front
stairway By this time the flames We're
climbing from the starting point on the
floor. Smoke was pouring from the win
dows and an alarm brought the claHg-
ing engines to the spot. AS the guests
awoke their shrieks were heard and half
dressed forms began to appear at the
windows. The first to escape was
Joseph Wilson. who had room in the
rear of the third floor. He was dressing
when he detected smoke in the house.
He awakened his roommate, Harry
Gavana, and together they made a hur-
ried round of the rooms. waking the
guests. Wilson then slid down an iron
pipe in the alley In the rear. Gavana
fingered a few moments and then started
down the pipe. He was part of the way
down when another man, named Nor
ton, started after him. Morton lost his
hold. Gavana was knocked from the
pipe and the two fell a distance Of fif-
teen feet. Gavana escaped injury. Nor
ton was picked up unconscious and
taken away in an ambulance.

THE COMRADES GONE.

Home and the Crops.

LOUISVILLE. Ky. Aug. 1A-NIuch
has been published Of the doings
Of the Conrad brothers snce they success
fully resisted the White Cappers with such
fatal results last Sunday wseS. II was
told with circumstaltial detail how an in
quistive young man ventured 10 the house

dreaded Conrads at the other end, and
other stories have have been told OF how

flying the White Cappers to drive them
from their homes.
1t now transpires that the Conrads have
not been back home since they crossed the
river after the fight. They, with their
mithre and sister have been staying with
relatives near Muldraugh ever sinse until
the last few days one Of the Conrads
wanted to go back, but, in the language

house of Sam Higgs. a farmer near Muld-
raugh the two brothers left ostensibly for
Hart county. They were heard Of near
for the county named.
The Conrads. in discussing the affair
with Squire ". j. Watts or Muldraugh
and others. expressed the opinion that
there must have been a number OF the
White Cappers wounded. The number OF
wounded in battle is always largely I'm ex-
cess OF the killed. and the Conrads believe
that several were more or less severely
hurt and carried away by their friends
especially as shOtguns were the weapons
used. If there are any wounded who have
not been reported they are supposed to be
keeping quiet to avoid being identified as
being OF the attacking party.

morning.

The event was not unexpected as the
Judge had been critically i'll for about
three months and his death was looked
for at almost any time. For three
days before death he lay in an unc0n-
scious condition and sank by degrees
until death, the certain result, came.
He passed into eternity as easily as
If he were falling asleep. The pulse,
which had been very feeble during the
period of unconsciousness and which
at times seemed to stop, simply died
out as a fire to which fuel is not sup
piled.
The cause OF death was a failure Of
the aiimentary organs to properly per-
form their functions, conJoIned with de-
bility following an attack of la grippe
two years ago. At his age he lacked
the vitality to overcome weaknesses,
which, in the prime of life. would have
been trifiing.
At the time OF his death five Of his
six children were at his bedside and
were devoted in their care of a loving
father during his long illness. Mrs.
Minnie Woolen of Dubuque, Ia, was
here until two weeks ago. when there
was a decided change for the better
in her fathers condition and she re-
turned to her home. She arrived in the
city yesterday, but was too late 10 see
her father alive. The other children are
Edwin Taylor of Evansville who is
general counselor for the Mackey sys-
TEN; Mrs. Agnes Bossler, a widow, who
has for years kept her fathers home;
Mrs. Anna Stewart Of Chicago; Harold
Taylor, an attorney Of this city, and
Miss Josephine Taylor.
