THE Observation-Disclosures AT
FAIR.-The first round Of the already
famous Pollarn-B Breckenridge breach OF
promise case was fought out yesterday
before Justice Cox, in Washington. AL
though the principals were represented
only by their counsel, this preliminary
sparring for advantage was quite inter-
esting, and resulted decidedly to the
advantage of the plaintiff, Miss Made
line V. Pollard.
The case came up for argument on
the demurrer Of Congressman Breckin-
ridge to the original declaration filed
by Miss Pollard. In this he objected
that the declaration was bad in
substance, because it alleged three sep
arate contracts of marriage, whereas
but one such contract could exist at
one time. Furthermore, he objected to
the detail with which Miss Pollard re-
lated her alleged wrongs. Attorney
Enoch Totten argued these points on be-
half ofthe Kentucky Congressman, and
laid particular stress upon the latter,
because many of the allegations of Miss
Pollard, he said, would not be admit
ted at the trial of the cause.
Messrs. Jere NJ. Wilson and Calderon
Carlisle, for Miss Pollard, upheld the
declaration, which they asserted had
been drawn with great care, and con-
lined no more than was necessary
The contracts of marriage were set
forth in different counts of the declara-
ton, and might be considered as reiter-
ations of the original promise.
Justice Cox decided the matter in
few words, to the effect that the decla-
ration was good in substance and not
faulty in form. Therefore, he prompt
" overrdled the demurrer of the defend
ant, and signed an order compelling
him to plead within three days.

Tho Recent Storm in Madison.

Correspondence of the Alexandria Gazette.)
LURAY, Va, Sept. 20.-The storm at
Criglersville, in Madison county, was
the worst that ever occurred in this
State. 1t happened on the night of the
10th and was at its worst about II p. N.
1t embraced territory some six miles
along the Robinson river.
The destruction of all kinds of prop
erty is absolutely appalling. The water
that fell is described as something never
before seen in Virginia. Some speak of
it as a cloud burst, whilst others simply
say it fell in buckets full, and others
that it was a water.spout. There are
in the neighborhood of Criglersville not
less than so houses that have been
washed away some completely de-
stroyed and broken in pieces, while 9th
ers stand unbroken and complete where
left by the flood. To give some idea OF
the amount of water that fell inside Of
two hours house on Haywood fifty
feet above the bed of the river was car
ried off. The pike across the mountain
is absolutely gone, washed ten feet be-
low the surface for many yards, whilst
at another point the drift is piled high
right in the road. There are two
churches now anchored in field several
miles from where they were washed,
while in the bottoms along the river
may be seen houses, unbroken, with
their chimneys intact, just as lifted
ON their foundations and left ready
for occupancy There is not a fence for
miles, while on the bottoms where the
eddies were created, is the debris,
the notsam and jetsam of this
most remarkable and destructive flood.
Its strange there were but three deaths,
the children of Mr.. Lamb who lived
to the right of Criglesville. Many houses
that withstood the force of the water
were swept of the furniture in them.
There are no roads left in the scope of
the storm including a length of six
miles and varying in breadth from a-half
to mile broad. The fine bottom lands
on the river are either deeply marked or
covered with sand and debris, utterly
ruined in either case. There is not q
stalk of corn or anything else that
grows, left, and the picture is one of
complete destruction. At points the
bed of the river is changed, and houses
that once stood away from it now
stand between the real bed aud the
new channel. Of course there will be
much suffering as many have lost their
homes and everything in them. Whole
farms are ruined, the hills washed of
their soil, and the flats ruined forever
by sand many feet deep. No less than
five mills are gone. The loss is great
and can hardly be fixed, some putting
it at half million. Such change in
the appearance offs neighborhood can
hardly be imagined, and the people are
at a loss to know where or how to be-
gin to put things to rights. B.

REUNITED on YoM KIPPUR.-On
Monday the celebration Of the Jewish
festival, the Day of Atonement, was
marked by an event which excited
much interest in the Sir Moses Monte
fore congregation at Richmond. Mr..
H. Passamaneck, prominent member
of the congregation, who some months
ago parted from his ewly-married wife
under sensational circumstances, and
later on sued for a divorce, withdrew
his suit, and attended the services at
the synagogue in company with the
lady, who was formerly Miss Marian
Goldstein, of England The reconcil-
iation, which was effected through the
influence of friends of both parties, is
in accordance with an ancient custom
of Hebrews, who, during the ten days
penitence intervening between Rosh
Hoshannah and Yom Kippur, are re
quired to forgive and forget all griev-
ances that they may have had against
their fellowmen during the past year.
Mr.. and Mrs. Passsamaneck are now
living happily together. 1t will be re-
membered that on the night Mr.. and
Mrs. Passamaneck were married she
confessed to her husband that she had
been intimate with man in England
some years before and thereupon Mr.. p.
left her at once.

FRIDAY EVENING. SEPT %, 1898.

THERE 10 no doubt of the fact, no
matter for what reason, that a majority
of the members of the Z. S. Senate are
in favor of the bill to repeal the silver
purchasing act. 1t is no less certain
that smaller majority are In favor OF
bills to repeal the Mckinley act and the
federal election law. But if "a minority
can prevent vote on the former, how
can it, reasonably, be expected that
larger minority will ever permit one to
be taken on either of the latter? This is
q question which the southern Senators
who are assisting the agents OF the sill
yer mine owners should consider, for
the people of their States should be in
finitely more interested in the fate OF
bills to keep the blue coats away from
their election polls and to remove the
tax on the necessaries Of life, than they
are in that ofthe one to afford the silver
mine owners ready and high market

in the Senate can defeat the bill to
stop the monthly purchase of four and

it can the more readily defeat the bills
