HE SAW SNAKES and HEAPS OF DEAD
C0LORED MEN.

This Philipsburg man is entitled to
the rake-off. They filed him with
Anaconda whisky, told him ghost
stories and he writes thusly for the
Standard:
To the Editor of the Standard;
Having seen in the CoLoRED CITI.
ZEN several reasons why all cOlored
voters should support Helena for the
capital, l am compelled to say that
any colored MAJ who votes for Helena
votes against Ms own self. In Helena
a Chinamans considered better than
negro citiyens. Some years ago the
.colored Children in Helena were not
allowed to to-. attend the public schools
with the white children. THEY q
log hut for them to use as school
room, and one afternoon it fell down
and came very near killing some of
the children. After that they had a
small brick house of one room, and the
Helena people soon took 1t away from
them to use for other purposes, think
ing 1t too good for them to have. For
a short time the colored citizens did
not know what to do about 1t, and
after much trouble day was set
apart for every man to vote to decide
the question of whether colored chill
dren would be allowed to 90 to school
with the white children or not. When
the day arrived for voting the first
colored man, so / am told by cOlored
eye-witnesses, who went to vote was
shot down. Now, this Is one of the
reasons why Helena will not receive
the colored vote. There are many
reasons why Anaconda should and WILL
receive our support for the permanent
capital of the state. Before any COL
ored man in Helena or elsewhere
votes for Helena for the capital he
had better appeal to the executive of
the state for the rights of a citizen
while in Helena.
A CoLoRED CITIZEN.
Philipsburg, Sept. IS, 1894.
1t is true that long years ago there
was a colored man shot In Helena,
and SO were there some whites shot,
too. That was pastime in early
days, but they didn't waste their time
shooting over such things as schools,
churc hes and prayer meetings. This
colored man who got shot and Is re-
ferred to in the above fake, got into
an altercation that had no bearing
whatever on school matters, or any
thing else relating to color. AT the
time of the shooting in question there
we're no colored children of school
age, or more likely none at all in
Helena, SO that strips the letter of
its gist. The fact of the business is
that everything calculated to work
upon the prejudice of colored men is
used to array them against Helena.
We hope our people will not be de-
luded thereby. The CITIZENS col
umns are always open for inquiries
and information, and we shall try TO
answer all questions propounded, in a
fair and impartial manner. Letters
signed by this Tom or that Dick or
Harry carry no weight. A bona fde
and honest citizen will sign his own
name, or in case he uses a nom de
plume he will leave his true name.
In none of the numerous letters to the
Standard has this been done.

Freight Train-Gen. Frey's Contin-
gent Still Stranded in Illinois.

MKEESPORT. Pa, April 6.-It was If
O'Clock this morning before the common
veal started from Homestead for this place.
Last night the men slept i'm an old house
on hay and sawdust. There were over four
hundred men in a space that would COM
fortably accommodate one hundred less. Az
result they were wedged in as closely as
corn upon a cob. The hour scheduled for
breakfast was o'clock. but IL was 10 be-
fore the men were served with their rations
of boiled potatoes, bologna, bread and coffee.
The raw cold wind that blew along the
Monongahela chilled the men to the bone
More shoes were distributed to-day but a
majority Of the recipients carried them over
their shoulders, preferring not to break
them in a long march until compelled
to do so. The total number Of recruits
signed Thursday was 24S A commune OF
fifty was organized and named Pittsburg
Commune Several members of the army
were discharged to-day for quarreling over
the possession of a sack of tobacco.
AS stated, the start from Homestead was
made at IL o'clock sharp, and the parting
was cordial. The route taken was by the
river road and was rough The commons
veal reached Duquesne at 1:30, when lunch
was taken At Homestead three wagon
loads Of provisions, thirty-two blankets $50
pairs Of shoes and other manner of supplies
were contributed. The residence OF Patrick
White was entered during the night and a
small sum of money secured. II is laid

given the liberty Of the town on passage.
The army this evening is in camp at Rey-
noldton, and tonight the men are sleeping
in the Coliseum. The entry into McKees-
port watched by hundreds but there
was no demonstration. The march from
Homestead along the river road through
Duquesne was a tiresome one, and a stop
of two hours was made at the latter place.
The army was escorted into town by a del
egation of tube workers and a band. Four
hundred loaves of bread have been already
donated by leading business men. In
speech Marshal Browne announced that
hereafter the communes shall be lettered
and not named. There are already five come

ACCUSED OF POCKET-PICKING.
Director of the Abbey Opera Company
Arrested at Chicago.

CHICAGO, April 6.-Signor Mancinelli,
director of the orchestra Of the Abbey
Grand Opera Company, was arrested
tonight on q charge Of picking pock-
cts. The arrest occurred in a dime muse
um on Clark street. Signor Mancineli de-
nies his guilt and declares that the whole
affair is a stupid blunder, but the museum
people declare that he is a pickpocket, ard
that he and other Frenchmen have been
operating among the crowds that visit the
museum for more than three weeks. Signor
Mancinelli admits that he has been at the
museum many times since he came 10 Chi
cago, but denies that he has picked any
pockets. 1t was on the complaint of Charles
McCurren, a special officer employed by the
museum, that the arrest was made. lie
told the police that he had seen Mannheim
edging his way through the crowds at the
museum on several occasions, ana made the
positive statement that he had seen the
Frenchman place his hand in the pockets OF
a bystander. Manager Lewis, or the mu-
scum, says he saw Mancinelli try to steal
a watch. Tonight McCurren sent WORD 10
the police and Mancinelli was taken into
custody. At the Central police station he
cence that the museum people said they
would not prosecute him If he would keep
away from the museum. To this Signor
Mancinelli agreed, and he was allowed to
go. He said he visited the museum so
many times because he was collecting ma
terial for book on America, which he in
tends to write after returning TO Europe.

FOUR SPEECHES TO BE MADE
The Colonel Decides Not to Make
an Address to the Jury.
Madeline Purges Herself Of Several
Charges and the Defendant Again
Enters Many Denials.

WASHINGTON, April 6. - To-day the
stream of testimony in the Pollard-Breck-
inridge litigation, which has grown to be
exceedingly wearisome, was brought to its
close after five continuous weeks of SEN
sationalism. The final rebuttals and sur
rebuttal to-day consisted of more denialS
by the plaintiff and defendant, thus leaving
the final status of the case what it has
largely been throughout, a question of ver-
acity between the man and woman.
Madeline Pollard took the stand to purge
herself from the mock marriage with
Blind Aleck'' Julian, as we'll as to repeat,
with the dramatic emphasis peculiarly her
own, the denial that the agreement to
marry between herself and Colonel Breck-
inridge had been anything but a contract
made in good faith, on her part at least.
Also she talked of the birth of her children
with a freedom which would have seemed
astonishing but for the matter of fact way
in which all manner of unusual things have
been discussed throughout this unusual
case. She very much the mistress of
the situation, as she had been on her former
appearances, determined to tell her own
story in her own way and succeeding in
her determination as well as in keeping
the corps of lawyers for the defense in a
fiutter of apprehension lest she should get
away from their control.
Colonel Breckenridge repeated in all the
various keys of negation in which his
silvery tongue is skilled the denial of the
story of Mary Yancey, the colored cook.
and other vital details of the case for the
plaintiff.
Arguments to the jury will begin Mon
day, so that the case will probably close
by Wednesday night There will be two
speeches for each side Mr. Carlisle will
make the opening for the plaintiff He will
be followed by Colonel Philip Thompson,
formerly member of Congress from the
Bluegrass State, and Major Benjamin But
terworth, ex-member from Ohio, for the
defense. Judge Jere Wilson, ex-member
from Indiana, will give the final plea for
Miss Pollard. From the announcement of
speakers expectations of a great display
of court room oratory are warranted. The
prevailing opinion that Colonel Breckin-
ridge would address the jury is a mistake
Said Mr.. Desha Breckenridge, the son of
the defendant, to-day: Father will place
himself, as he has in his political cam
paigns, in the hands of his friends"

and creditors held a meeting in London to-
day to formulate a plan of reorganization,

not be of long duration For the last three
years the company has made most of it's
loans in Texas. j. b. Watkins came to
Lawrence in 1870 and engaged in the loan
business He had less than $500 at that

tween S,JO,O00 and si.000,00). Most Of ii is

JUDGE JENKINS's DECISION.
He MOdifies the Order Only Because
One Clause Is Unnecessary

The following is the decision of Judge
Jenkins modifying his famous injunction
order:
"In the discussion of the important and
interesting questions presented by the mo-
tions, 1t is not the province of the court
ital labor, which it is asserted is herein in
volved. 1t may be that the aggregated
power of combined capital is fraught with
danger to the Republic. 1t may be that
the aggregated power of combined labor is
perilous to the peace of society and to the
rights of property. 1t doubtless is true
that in the contest the rights of both have
been invaded and that each has wrongs to
be redressed. If danger to the State ex-
iSt from the combination of either capital
or labor. requiring additional restraint or
modification of existing laws. it is within
the peculiar province of the Legislature to
determine the necessary remedy and to
declare the general policy of the State
touching the relations between capital and
labor. With that, the judicial power OF
the duty of the courts to restrain those
warning factions so far as their action may
infringe the declared law of the land, that
society may not be disrupted or its peace
invaded. and that individual and corporate
rights may not be infringed.
'Tf the combination and conspiracy al
legged and the acts threatened TO be done
in pursuance thereof are unlawful, ii can
not / think, be successfully denied that re-
stra1t by Injunction til is the the appropriate e
action at law would arise upon consumma-
tion of threatened injury, but manifestly
such remedy would be inadequate. The

sation would be wholly inadequate. The
injury would be irreparable. Compensation
could be obtained only through multiplicity

1T is the peculiar function of equity in
such cases where the injury would result
not alone in severe private but in great pub

CHARLESTON, S. c., April 6.-The
scene of military operations in the dispen-
sary war was to-day transferred to
Charleston, when Jerry Dairy Watts, the
Assistant Acknowledgement of the State.
arrived here armed with Instructions from
Governor Tillman to disarm and disband
the Fourth Brigade South Carolina Volun-
teer troops. The charges are that the bri-
gade refused to obey the Governors or
ders and repair to Darlington to suppress
the insurrection. The Adjutant-generals s
instructions are to take all the arms and
accoutrementS back to Columbia with him.
Those who think the Fourth Brigade will
be left unarmed will find themselves very
much mistaken. Some Of the companies
have the arms issued TO them by the State.
A good ma.y of them have rifles and
non " hich they paid for themselves. This
is notably the case with the German Ar
tilery, which has a battery of four guns
and equipments. There seems to be no fear
that the Fourth Brigade will disband. The
rifle clubs will probably be reorganized, as
they We're when the negroes monopoliZed

The spies are daily expected here from

lice. Some complications are expected to
arise out of this latest move.
