During the sitting of the court-martia
all the witnesses from Admiral Stanton

In the course of her examination, wit
ness explained the circumstances of the
alleged visit to Squire Kinsey's house
in Bridgeport, KY, where she stopped
in 1892 and 1898. Some of the names
mentioned she did not remember, but
recalled that of Alex Julian, a blind man
between whom and plaintiff defence will
try to show mock marriage and sub
sequent unseemly proceedings at Squire
Kinsey's. She declared Julian would
not have even dared to caress her. She
did not remember any mock marriage,
and moreover her uncle George was
with her at the time, He was very
strict, and would not allow anything of
the sort. Several letters were shown
her, one of which she admitted having
written at Owen Robinson; others she
might have written, she said. One con-
tained lock of hair. The letters were
then read. They were of the school
girl character, with expressions of a
more or less love-sick character. She
said she and Owen were good friends,
but there was no love affair between
them.

EDITOR CHRoNIcLE-I clip this from
THE CHRONICLE clipped from the Ore
CONAN:
VIC. P. Breckenridge ought to be ex-
PEELED from congress. He is utterly un-
fit to hold seat among decent and hon
orable men. The testimony showing
his conduct toward Miss Pollard-testi-
mony of a character that cannot be
proven against any public man within
many years. A resolution for his expul
sion from the house ought to pass with
out dissenting vote. 1t is incredible
that the people of his district should
ever think of returning him to congress.
I-Oregonian.
In the Oregonian of March 18th I find
the following:
The Breckinridge-P Pollard case is not
profitable reading. It is a pity the girl
hadn't male relative to keep it out of
court by providing material for a con-
gressional funeral. The shotgun is the
only remedy for offenses like that of this
white-haired blackguard.
Is Breckinridge's treatment of Miss
Pollard any more infamous than was the
treatment of Maria Halpin by Grover
Cleveland? Ought Grover Cleveland to
be kicked out of the white house for
doing what Breckenridge did? If Breck-
inridge is elected as the next demo-
cratic president, and is as sound on the
silver question as is Grover, his right
hand bower, will the Oregonian give
him the same laudations it has showered
on Grover? The publication of the
Breckenridge scandal seems to be unfor-
tunate for all parties opposed to Cleve-
landism or "mugwump democracy
The mugwump Clevelandites have been
sorely pressed to find q candidate to run

magic wand, has smitten the ground,

Miss Pollard Tells the Shameful Story
of Col. Breckenridge Conduct
Toward Her.

ONTARIO, CAL, March 19.-The indus
trial army reached here at 5 O'Clock
last evening, numbering $40 men in four
organized companies. A large delega-
tion of Ontario people met them, but as
it was sundown and all the stores were
closed they did not fare sumptuously,
several boxes of oranges being the
limit Q; the contributions by the citizens.
After supper they marched to the
Southern Pacific depot with the inten-
ton of taking freight train due at 80.
They lined up in front of the depot and
their captain went among the men,
warning them not to disturb the seals of
the cars or to do any damage whatever.
The trainmen, however, evidently had
knowledge of their intentions, :or in
stead of stopping, as is customary, the
whistle gave warning, and the. train
passed by at full speed. The army took
it good naturedly. saying that they could
go in the morning just as well. About
O'Clock this morning the local freight
came along; the members of the army
clambered aboard and left for Cotton,
the trainmen making no resistance, even
waitinguntil all got aboard. The men,
bers of the army were certainly well be-
haved IN Ontario, were orderly and well
officered. During the night picket line
was esta blished, and no one was allowed
to enter or leave camp without permis-
sion.

A Sensational Rescue.

CHICAGO, March 19.-People in the
vicinity of a new grain elevator in pro-
cess of erection Saturday afternoon were
Mortified to see Joseph Coates, a car
penter, slip on the roof and slide rapidly
to the edge. AS he was going over the
edge Coates grabbed wall plate with
his right hand and hung to it, his body
suspended at height of 100 feet. His
fellow-workmen were paralyzed with
fright and two of them tainted. The
others soon recovered their senses and
time Coates was crying out to those in
sound of his voice TO save him. In the
course of few seconds the horror
stricken watchers on the bridge below
saw man appear at window, and be-
hind him several other men. The first
man leaned forward until 1t seemed as if
he would tumble headlong, but strong
hands put stout rope about his body
and held him securely while he reached
out and grasped the man hanging from
the wall platform and succeeded in get
ting him to the window ledge. Then,
brought him through the window. The
rescued man, when he found himself
saved, fell over in dead faint, and the
rescuer, William Jones, another car
penter, collapsed completely. A faint
cheer reached those in the room at the
top of the elevator. Coates, when he
was finally revived, was in such ner-
vous condition that he had to be assisted
home by two of his fellow-workmen.

crowds who sought admittance to the
courtroom where the Pollard -Breckin-
ridge trial is in progress. Miss Pollard
was again on the stand under direct ex-
animation. She related in greater de-
tail than heretofore the attempts of
Breckinridge to seduce her. He told
her she had a wonderful intellect, and
had brilliant future. 81 seemed to be
completely under the influence of his
wonderful power of persuasion" she
said. He promised to oversee her edu-
cation and repay the money paid by
Rhodes for her schooling. t'ae did not

tinued, "and it was only late the second
day when we were in the house of assigna-

established, she ayerred, continued till

G. w. Hunt has just brought suit
against the Northern Pacific railroad for
the sum of s., ,O0o, 900 damages for losses
suffered by reason of an attachment
which he alleges was frauduIently sued
out against him by the railroad: In
1891 he owed the Northern Pacific $780,
600 and the attachment of his properties
was secured at time when he was act
lively engaged in railroad construction,
and all his plans were frustrated, his
subsidies lost and his mills and camps
shut up. Mr.. Hunt estimates the value
of the many subsidies promised him al
the time the suit was brought, as we'll as
the reasonable value of the railroads and
the great value of credit which a man in
his position is possessed of.
