WASHINGTON, D. G., March Coon
Hpicuous attention has OF lato boon
given to the Pacific railway question
owing to numerous means suggested
for tho collection OF tho vast debt due
tho government from the various Pa.
ciic roads. Concerning the subject,
Representative Reilly, Of Pennsylvania.
chairman of tho house committee on
Pacific railroads, said to-day:
81 regard this as ono OF tho most i'm.
pottant questions before Congress, not
excepting tho tariff and finance But
tho very importance OF tho question dc.
mands that 1t should DO treated with
elaboration. Tho amount involved is
about $685. 900, 900 and thq- proper pro-
lection OF tho government and the col
lection OF such q sum requires tho most
deliberate and careful action OIL tho
part OF Congress.
1.-THE construction OF these roads ia
undoubtedly onu Of tho great achieve
ments OF the agc, but with all Its COM
plicatiug Environments, by why OF legis-
lation aud i|udiCial decislous it comes
down to us as n OF the war measures,
the original legislation having been en-
acted during tho exciting days OF tho
war Of the rebellion, and now that We
are confronted with tho solution OF this
great problem, owing to tho rapid up
proach Of tho maturity OF this enormous
debt, and the necessity for some legis.
lation, tho Importance OF the subject is
ut once apparent. But ut tho outset We
are confronted with all these complica-
tons OF lnws and decisions covering n
period OF thirty years, and quite as COM
pick and OF as great magnitude as any
question with which Congress has had
10 doal during recent years. We have
arrived at 4 stage in the history Of this
transaction when legislation of some
character is absolutely necessary"
What conclusion the committee may
arrive at, or the character OF legislation
thoy may determine to report, it is yet
too early to predict.

MI. Browns


The deposition OF Orrin G. Brown,
president OF Quinn Valley college In
Ohio. and son Of the president OF Veg
leyan seminary which Miss Pollard had
attended was read. lie was n young
man in those years OF Miss Pollard'e
schooling and from the records OF tho
school testified that her bills had been
paid by James c. Rhodes. Ono noto by
Rhodes for Sl25 given in 1855 had been
paid only in small part. Tho %deponont
had often visited Rhodes to press for
payment but the latter had begged of,
representing that he WIS hard up; that
tho expenses were greater than he ex-
pectcd.
Conversations between Brown and
Rhodes testified to were objected to by
the plaintiffs attorneys and tho obiec-
ton sustained. The answer TO tho
question concerning his understanding
OF the relations between Miss Pollard
and Rhodes was excluded also on tho
ground that the basis Of the under
standing was not given. An interest
ing question was raised over the admis-
eibllity OF tho testimony OF Mr.. Brown
based on the records OF the school kept
by othcrs than himself, to show tho at
tendance and absences OF Miss Pollard
and this passage was excluded, the
usual exception being noted. Mr..
Brown remembered that in the spring
Of 1884 Miss Pollard had left school to
visit her home on account OF the death
Of her sister, but this was also excluded
on the same grounds.
Witness had been personally ac-
Quainted with Colonel Breckenridge;
remembered that he had called at the
school oncc. Miss Pollard had been in
the habit Of claiming relationship or
friendship with most OF tho prominent
peoplo OF Kentucky, among them Mr..
breckenridge and Senator Blackburn.
This boosted acquaintance OF hers had
grown into n joke at the school, so that
the visit OF Colonel Breckenridge being
unexpected had impressed itself upon
him as Il c]orroboration Of her claims.
Witness remembered that Colonel
breckenridge had taken Miss Pollard
driving that evening. The question as
TO the feeling about Miss Pollard's re-
turn 10 the school was excluded on oh.
j%eC;ion. By tho scholars Miss Pollard
had been jokingly called "Madcline-
Nivian.Bill-B Blackburn
Pollard"

produced with thiI deposition and dis.
played 10 tho jury. IL was IL largo
souvenir, six by eight inches, with
iringGd edges, on which was caught q
pressed aud indGd rose.
This Christmas card is expected to
play an important part in tho case as
proof that Miss Pollard was confined in
tho convent, and the defense claims
that when ii was displayed by Miss
Pollard, who averrod that shU Ind
found it in the book, one corner was
rolled up in Il way impossible for II
card that had been eight years pressed
in Il book. Sister Augustine, according
to tho deposition, had declared that tho
statue OF st. Joseph, in the convent,
had perfect eyes. Miss Pollard had
rccOIlrctOd that II eye Of tho statue
wa out OF linc.
Tho second deposition read by At.
torncy SIoll was by Lena Schnitt, who
had boon employed for eighteen years
In the Norwood convent, aud who had
no recollection OF Il woman in the con.
vent in 1855 undor the namo Of Louise
Wilson. and had never scon Madeleine
Pollard until last December. She had
then been present ut tho interview bo-
tween Sister Agnes and tho plaintiff,
but, us the former had testified, failed
TO identify Miss Pollard as one she had
ever seen. According to hor remem.
branco Misa Pollard had said Of her
motive for tho suit, ~ did it for Justice
mud to Disgrace Mr.. Brcckinridcc."
The deposition OF DR., W. Z. DcCour-
ccy, physician ut the Norwood convent,
was objected to by Mr.. Carlisle on tho
ground OF immntcriality, but admitted
by the judge. The physician testified
that he did not know Madeline Pollard
or Louise Wilson, but there had been u
girl in tho convent named Wilson in
1884 and 1885. whose first name no did
not remember, and whose face no would
not recognize. lie had looked ovor tho
books OF the asylum, and found no
records Of Louise Wilson. At timNs d
special physician attended pa"tiontl at
the hospital, il they 80 requested. Once
Il girl who gave birth TO Il child had her
face yelled because she claimed that DR..
DeCourcey knew her. There had been
500 children born ut the asylum. DR..
DeCourccy had not been cross.ex-
Wmlned.

INQUIsITIvE BAGGAGEMAsTER,
He Wondered What Was In the Trunk
and He Found Out.

PLAINFIELD, Conn.,, Feb. p Tho bag
gagemaster of Conductor Hurley's train
on the N. Y. and N. Il. II. II. leaving
Providence at 1885 a. M, yesterday re-
ceived among other baggage a large trunk,
bound up with red cloths. Being OF
an inquisitive turn of mind he won
dered why the trunk was so bound.
He was told by the genial conductor that
the trunk must belong to an anarchist, as
red was their favorite color. The trunk
was put off at one of the stations up the
road. Soon after the baggage master found
it necessary to clean his car, and he
noticed lot of black dust on the floor
where the trunk had been. He carefully
swept it up and put 1t IN large envelope.
On arriving ut Plainfield last even
ing he decided to find out il
possible what the contents of that
trunk were. Taking a companion brake
man with him, he took the fated envelope
back OF the car sheds, held ii aloft, care
fully touched it with match, and
away it went, SO did his luxurious mus
tache, his eyebrows and part of his hair.
He is not working today, nor will he be
for several days, but he knows what was
in the trunk.
