United States Court - Judge Town
send.

In this court yesterday the jury in the
case of Patrick O'Hehir against the Win
sted Gas company, after being out four
hours, returned with verdict of $4,000
with interest for the plaintiff. The inter
est dates from November "a, 1887.
While the jury was out the case of Mary
Brady of Waterbury against the United
Life Insurance company of New York for
the recovery of life insurance on the life
of Michael Slnnot, a brother of the
plaintiff, was taken up. The complaint
alleges that on October 2, 1891, the plain
tiff took out life insurance policy for
$4,000 by the payment of $24 and the BIZ
monthly premium of IS 81. On Deem
Der 81 following Sinnot died from natural
causes and the company refused to pay
the insurance and has since refused to pay
it, and 1t is due at the present time. The
company set up as defence that the
policy was secured through misrepresenta-
ton as to Sinnot's bodily health at the
time the policy WIS secured. The case Is
still on.

The first meeting Of the House COM
mittee on rules, during the present
session Of congress, was held in the
Capital, on yesterday. Little was
done. The code Of rules agreed upon

the proposed increased membership
of committees was considered at the

fected are those on ways and means,
appropriations, Judiciary, banking and
currency, coinage, weights and meas
ures, interstate and foreign commerce,

SWORN TO AvENaE.
Miss Pollard Goes Cunning for Her
Alleged ssducer.

According to last reports from the
Capital city, concerning the Pollard
Breckenridge scandal, it is declared
that the younger brother of Miss Pol
lard, has sworn to avenge the alleged
wrongs of his injured sister, and ii is
also sverred that detectives in the en-
ploy Of Congressman Breckenridge ON
two occasions within the last week
have intercepted her at the capital
and disarmed her as she was trying to
find her alleged seducer, The attor-
neys for Miss Pollard claim that they
have in their possession letters of q
very compromising nature from the
congressman. They also propose to
place on the stand several society
ladies who say that Mr.. Breckenridge
told that he was engaged to Miss Pol
lard. There is q rumor of compro-
mise but 1t can not be traced TO any
reliable source.
While the scandal is most unfort-
unate and deplorable one, from every
point of view, yet now that the nnsav.
ory affair has been made public 80 far
it is only concerned that the full and
true inwardness of the case should be
made public and, from which ever
side the offer of compromise comes,
the just suspicion of personal guilt
will attach. II Miss Pollard has been
wronged at all her grievance is Of
such character that mere monetary
consideration would prove wholly un-
availing ss salve for her wounded
honor and the acceptance of money
by her M the price of her silence
would forever condemn her in the
mind Of the public, to doubt and dis
belief and confirm the charge made
against hor of attempted extortion on
the part Of an adventures. No, II
Mr.. Rreckinridge is guilty his
crime should condemn him to the just
contempt and righteous indignation Of
all decent people and he should be
made to suffer both wealth and char
scter. II innocent he should be given
every chance to clear himself and re-
deem his sullied honor.

ON WITH THE WORK.
The Kansas City, Pittsburg 6 Gulf
Being Pushed Vigorously.

The following account of the rapid
and highly satisfactory progress of
the work of construction on the
great air line between Kansas City
and the Gulf appears in recent issue
of the Sloan Springs (Ark.) Locomo-
tive Herald;
"Despite the financial depression
and the hot weather, the railroad
work is progressing nicely, and if
there are no mishaps the grading will
complete to Sloan Springs by the 1st
of next month.
"Mr. Corrigan was here last week
and said the big cut at Nebo would
be finished in ten days.
"IIe came down to hurry up the
work, especially the bridge timber
and piling, which had been somewhat
delayed for the want of dimensions,
etc.
"The work in the Lefors settlement
is progressing as fast as could be ex-
pected. We are not informed as to
whether the right of way is settled
with Mr.. Lefors or not, but presume
work will not be delayed long on that
account.
"McNerny Bros. are pushing their
work beyond Flint as fast as men and
teams can do it, and Mr.. Stout, who
has the timber contract, is rushing
the bridge timber and piling to Flint
creek as fast as about forty men can
get them there.
"Mr. Ward, on section 81, is work.
ing rapidly toward Sloan and win
have his section done in good time.
"Mr. Many, who graded 16, moved
down to % Monday, and is now
camped at Box spring and working
north. He will finish 90 hy Saturday
night, and then will likely begin on
"a, which runs through town.
"Mr. Morris began work on 23 last
week, and he is also camped at Box
spring. His work is progressing
well.
Reports from up the line say that
the grading is practically done, except
two miles just beyond Flint We
failed to learn who has the contract
for these sections.
"Mr. Stout is also putting in a lot of
pile timber in the gulch on section "a,
between Hico and the depot grounds.
sMr. Doyle, with large grading
outfit, arrived from Fort Worth, Tex,
last Friday, and is now camped in the
east part of town, where he will rest
his teams few days before going to
work.
ayes, the railroad is alright and
still coming. The dirt is flying and
our goose is flying still higher. Our
goose is dandy bird from q dandy

VOORHEES, BILL OPPOSED.

The bill of the finance committee Of
the Senate to allow national banks to
issue currency te the par value of the
bonds deposited by them in the treas
ury was fairly launched on its voyage
in the senate yesterday. But it is al
ready evident that it is fated to expe-
riencc very stormy weather that will
retard if IL does not prevent its reach
ing port in safety. II will take good
management to overcome the obstacles
one of which il the amendment offer
ed yesterday by Mr.. Cockrell demo
crat) Of Missouri directing the secre-
tary Of the treasury TO redeem such of
the outstanding per cent bonds as
may be offered, to pay for them at
par with accrued interest by new
issue Of greenbacks. Mr.. Cockrcll
calculates that If his amendment be
incorporated in the bill, and If the
bill becomes law, more than $4,000
900 Of the $25,000,00 of these bonds
will be presented, and that thus an is
sue of mori than $20,000,000 in green
backs will be put iu circulation. 1t is
understood that he has also In reserve
several other propositions that will
not be very pleasing to the national
banks or their friends In the senate.
The new Democratic senator from
Nebraska, Mr.. Allen, is also prepared
to attack the bill with an amendment
for the suspension Of interest on the
bonds deposited by the national
banks as q basis for tho increased cir
culation. There are therefore lively
times ahead OF the bill and Mr.. Voor-
hees will have TO put forward all. his
resources to prevent Its being swamp
ed in the senate.

taken for diseases originating in impure

AYERS Sarsaparilla, as thousands can
attest, it cannot be truthfully applied to
other preparations. which unprincipled
dealers will recommend, and try to inn
pose upon you, as "just as good as
Ayers" Take Ayers Sarsaparilla and
