MISS POLLARD'S CASE.
JUDGE BRADLEY HEARS ARGU
MENTS In PRIVATE.
Obj sctions Made to Dispositions Re fisct-

Surprise Sprung on Counsel
for tho Defense.

WAsHINGToN, March 24.-Judge Brad
ley heard objections to certain afidavits
for the defense in tbs PollaTd-Breckin-
ridge case in private today, only the at
torneys connected with the trial being
admitted. There were three depositions
to which objections were made, the point
involved being the relevancy of teati-
mony bearing on Miss Pollard's charac-
ter. One OF these dispositions is that OF
Alex julien, who tells OF an alleged mock
marriage at Squire Tinsley's house,
bridgeport, Ky, in 1888; of fres partici-
patton in egg nog, followed by the retire
ment of the pseudo bridge and groom.
together with further unseemly proceed
ings. Mics Pollard, in her testimony,
denied the truth of this statement.
Another is the deposition OF w. W..
Roselle. engaged to Miss Pollard when
she was a student at the Wesleyan sem
mary and intimate with Breckinridge.
He testifies that he took liberties with
her. and that she begged him to take
her with him to Chicago. Miss Pollard
denies this. She said Roselle was trying
to curry favor with Breckenridge in Or
der to get the appointment of collector
of internal revenue in Breckinridge's
district.
The deposition of DIR. Lewis of Lex
inRton, who said that Colonel Swope ap-
preached him to get him to perform a
criminal operation on Miss Pollard, is
also objected to as not being shown to
be this Miss Pollard.
The arguments before Judge Bradley
continued five hours and he took the
questions submitted under considera-
tion, to decide them Monday morning,
when the court meets again.
Miss Pollard's counsel surprised the
defense by making sweeping objection
to all their dispositions, on the ground
that they had been taken in an irreg-

were hurt. Mrs. Ross, with her baby,
was stopping for the night with her
parents, Mr.. aud Mrs. A. K. Irving, at
the Haight street house. She got up at
about O'Clock TO tend to her baby, and
discovered that the house was on fire.
She aroused her sister, Mise Carrie
Irving. who awoke the rest of the fam
lily. Mrs. Ross started with her baby
for the front door, but was overcome by
the dense smoke and fell TO the floor,
where the chsrred remains OF mother
and babe were found later. In the
meantime Misc Irving seized her broth
ere, two young children, and reached
tho rear of the house, where she
jumped from window to the ground,
20 feet below. breaking her leg The
children were uninjured. Mr.. and Mrs.
Irving were also forced to Jump from
the windows. Mrs. Irving. who lie over
20 years old, will probably die from in
juries received. Har husband was alec
badly bruised. An investigation as to
the cause of the fire shows that the
front steps and the front of the house
beneath had been soaked with coal oil.
The tire was fret discovered from the
outside by a newspaper carrier, who, in
stead OF rousing the inmates, walked
several blocks to q fire engine house and
gave the alarm. No reason is known
why any one should have set fire to the
building.
Mrs. Mary Noonan, servant girl at
the Irving household, is under arrest on
suspicion OF completely in the villainy
that caused the death and disaster. She
was found in a drunken stupor on the
streets at noon by policeman. She
stoutly denied that she had any criminal
connection with the fire. Mr.. Irving's
story is that when he rushed down
stairs he saw Mrs. Noonsn fully dressed
in the basement hall. Afterwards she
got very drunk. Detective Rem Bohen,
who is working mp the case. tays several
parties have fallen under suspicion. In
his opinion it is a case of revenge. Mr..
Irving seems to believe the incendiaries
are persons he discharged when en-
ployed on pile driving work at Sausalito.

this afternoon regarding western pas
senger rates, but nothing was definitely
determined. There is now a stronger
disposition to compromise than has
been evident during the past few days
The compromisers, however, we're given
something to talk about this afternoon
when information was received tending
to prove that the Union Pacific is,
through brokers, making a $29-rate
from San Francisco. The Atchson to-
day asked the Southern Pacific to con-
troll, if possible, the action of the Union
Pacific in the San Francisco market.
and intimated if the actions of the
Union Pacific could not be regulated it
would be compelled to take other steps
to protect itself. This is taken to mean
that the rates from Chicago to the Mis-
souri, river would be reduced again.

recommend a rejection Of the nomination
Of Mr. Hornbiower for associate justice
of the United States Supreme Court.
The Senate judiciary Committee was in

II is understood that the whole time was

opposed Hornblower are understood TO
have been Hill. Coke, and Chairman

cans who are said to have been opposed
to confirmation were Teller. who is alb

Messrs. Hoar and Platt, Of the Repub-

under the circumstances, deemed II best
TO let the Democrats settle the matter
between themselves, and the majority Of
the Democrats being opposed to confrma-
