HER STORY no Mrs. vIyEAR.

Judge Wilson asked Col. Breckenridge
if he blamed Miss Pollard for telling Mrs.
Minear that she had been to dine at Col
Breckiuridge's house. and the witness
said he did blame her for trying 10 pro-
duce false impression about their rela-
lions TO conceal the real relations when
another denial not involving him would
have done as well.
We'll. can you conceive Of a more rea-
sOnable story to tell" asked Judge Viii
son; and Col Breckenridge took him up
with Nor can / conceive of more acute
story to be used subsequently in the pros
ecution Of an improper purpose
Judge Wilson made Col. Breckenridge
read his Endorsement Of the civil service
applications filed by Miss Pollard, in
which he pronounced her a person of good
moral character and of good repute, and
stated that he would "uuhesitatingly'
recommend her for employment TO
his friends. These statements were
made under oath Col. Breckenridge
said he went with Miss Pollard TO
assignation house to have conversations,
and it was well she did. I'VE were OBJ
liged to go to one Of these houses to have
our talks, for the scenes that occurred
between us would have created a scandal
if they had occurred anywhere else"
Here the court adjourned for the day
Col. Breckenridge will again take the
stand tomorrow morning.

CROPS AND THE FREEZE.
The Weather Bureau Issues a Bulle-
tin on the Damage Done.

Atlanta, Ga, April 3.-The weather
bureau to-day issued bulletin covering
the damage to crops by the recent biz
zard. The bulletin, which gives the fol-
lowing summary, is made up from special
reports from every section of the state,
and is therefore a conservative estimate
of the crop outlook: Following the cold
weather in February came an almost IN
precedented warmth in March, the tenn
perature averaging more than To- above
the normal for the first twenty-five days.
Stimulated by the heat suitable to May,
trees and vines put out their buds and
blossoms, and by the 25th the fruit had
formed on peaches and other early bloom
ing fruits in the southern section of the
state.
Corn was largely up and some sea island
cotton, while the truck crops were ad-
vanced. Farther north early gardens
were up, and everywhere wheat and oats
had come forward, much of the former
being in the boot, and therefore most
subject to frost damage. On March % a
norther of extreme severity swept across
Texas and advanced rapidly to the east
ward. BY the morning of the Both the
temperature had fallen below freezing
over the western half of the
state, and as low as 16' in
northerly localities. On the following
morning the ice line had extended to the
coast and the extreme southerly border
of the state in its disastrous effects. This
freeze has not been surpassed in recent
years. Fruit has suffered most seriously,
as the damage done is irreparable. Prac-
tically all the peach crop is lost in the
northern half of the state, and the yield
will be very light in the southern half
Pears are nearly total loss every
where. Grapes, plums, ounces etc,
are all seriously injured.
1t is believed that many young trees and
vines have been killed to the ground
Such damage, of course, is not remedied
for several years.
Of the field crops, corn was the chief
sufferer, as the planting has been about
finished in the southern districts and the
blades were several inches above the
ground in many fields. In most instances
that which was up was killed and will
have to be replanted.
Raisers of truck crops and melons have
suffered much loss. Much was above
ground and nearly all will have to be re
planted. The loss of time in getting
these crops ready for market represents
a great loss by reason of the loss of the
early prices.
Reports as to the injury to grain are of
various characters. When in the boot or
iointed it has been killed, unless in
specially protected localities Some little
time must elapse before the full effect of
the freeze becomes apparent. 1t could
scarcely have been more destructive at
this season.
