Howard Clifton and Serena Wilson
charged with peddling without a license,
came up for trial. George +. Brown of
Providence appeared for the defence and
W. W. Robinson 'or the prosecution. The
men were arrested by Constable Lawrence
and the warrants charged them with sell
ing silverware and rugs. Lawrence con-
ciu1ed he could not prove that they were
selling rugs snd silverware as his wit
ness could not be found, but he could
prove that they tried to sell bible. At
torney Brown therefore said he would
wait until new warrants were made out.
This was done and the men re.arrested
charged with Offering for sale a bible.

INTEREST IS WANING
TestimonMn BreCkinridge
Trial Concluded.
PLAINTIFF AGAIN TESTIFIES.
Final Status Of the Case Still Appears
to Be a Question of veracity.

W AsHINGTos, April THE end of the
evidence of the Breckinridge- Pollard case
came yesterday as was expected. and II
was noticeable that although much of the
testimony WAS highly important, the in
terest in the case has disappeared, except
% far IA the actual verdict Is concerned.
There were but few people in the court
room compared to the crowds of the pre-
vious occasions, and Judge Bradley
passed rather pleasant day, and did not
scold anybody.
The final robuttal and sur-rebuttal con-
sisted of more denials by the plaintiff and
defendant, leaving the final status Of the
case what it has largely been through hout,
aquestion Of veraclty between the man
and the woman, parties to the Illicit in
trigue.
Madeline Pollard took the stand to
purge herself from the stain Of the mock
marriage with blind Aleck Julian. as we'll
rs 10 repeat, with the dramatic emphasis
peculiarly her own, the denial that the
agreement To marry between herself aud
Colonel Brecklnridge had been anything
but a contract made In good faith, on her
part ut least. She also 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 dis
cussed in this unusual case.
Had Her own Way.
She was very much the mistress of the
situation, as she had been on former ap-
pearances, determined to tell her own
story in her own way, and succeeded In
her determination, as well as In keeping
the corps of lawyers for the defense In a
hutter of apprehension that 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. There was departure from
the usual order when two Of Miss Pol
lard's attorneys. Carlisle and johnson,
were sworn as witnesses to clear their
skirts from the insinuation that on their
visit to Norwood convent they might have
slipped the Christmas card into the vol
ume OF Washington Irving, a work which
has played so important part In the
trial.
"Aunt Mary'sr Testimony.
There was colored woman called
"Aunt Mary" on the stand, of most re-
markable faculties, for although she had
never before seen Colonel Breckenridge,
she recognized him from his likeness TO
the l-day-old child which has played so
important a part in the trial.
When he came into court yesterday,
Colonel Breckinrldge seemed to be in
high spirits, remarking to Major Butter
worth, III feel like schoolboy at the
prospect Of holiday tomorrow"
He was not to have the holiday. how
ever, for today is being spent In argu-
ments by the lawyers over the instructions
which they will ask the Judge to give the
Jury on the strictly legal aspects of the

RANKS ARE SW[LL{D.
Washington Mil Strikers
Will Not Yield.
MEN AND WOMEN PARADE.
They Have a Grievance Against the
Lawrence Police Court.

LAwRENCE. Mass, April 7.-Yesterday
was the beginning of the eighth week Of
the strike at Washington mills and the
1000 operatives are as firm now as at the
time they resented the 8 and 10 per cent
reduction In their wages.
There was a monster demonstration
through the streets of Lawrence yesterday
afternoon when 1000 men and women
with bands and banners paraded.
1t was an orderly and well-dressed
gathering OF operatives, from not only the
Washington. but other mills in the city.
At the request Of Mayor Rutter the strik-
ers did not go near the mill on Canal
street, but confined themselves to tour
Of the principal streets, and later went to
the common, where a rousing meeting
was held.
Last night the strikers held meetings In
several halls and many prominent speak
ers were present. The encouragement TO
ceived from the other manufacturing CEN
tiers indicate that the operatives propose
to fight the issue to a finish.
All the section hands In the Washing
ton mill quit work yesterday, which
leaves the corporation powerless to run the
complicated machinery, for experienced
help is required in this department..
The corporation is in hopes of securing
800 experienced hands from Philadelphia,
but the union claims this is impossible,
for the Quaker City employees, they say,
are well organized, and
VIII Not Come Out
while there IL a strike here.
Eleven weavers from Worcester county
mills also quit work. Three section
hands from Providence. who were prom.
ised 5000 per week, also quit work be-
cause they claim they "could not make
living wages" They asked for their pay,
and were told a weeks notice was neces-
ssry, so they engaged a lawyer, and out
of the sl0 90 which they claim they were
TO receive. only s. was allowed them, 81
of which went TO the corporation board
ing house.
The Strikers Are Indignant
over the refusal of the local police court
to issue a warrant for the arrest of Detec-
tive Batchelder, a corporation employe
whom they charge with assault on a
striker The clerk of the court said that
no warrant would be necessary, for the
detective could be had when a charge
was preferred against him.
The strikers will bring the matter 10
the attention of Governor Greenhalge and
ask for the clerks removal for refusing to
issue the warrant.
A report comes from Lowell that there
are corporations at work endeavoring TO
induce operators TO go 10 Lawrence, with
some success.
A peculiar story is told of one Of the
striking operatives. IL appears that her
father lives in one of the corporations 3
boarding houses, and rather than incur
the enmity of the corporation he asked
her to leave the house, which she did.
The corporation is stubborn i'm its op-
position to the strikers demands. and the
strikers are persistent in the hope of win
ming.

AT THE LORRAINE.
Nothing New in Regard to the Strike Of the
Carders.


There is nothing new IN regard To the
strike OF the six earders at the Lorraine
mills. Their places have been filled with
new hands and a few OF the men who
took no part IN the demand for an in
crease I'm wages.
The strikers say that when the cut was
made they we're assured that II would be
restored when there was an improvement
ia business. IL II stated that the mills are
now running at full capacity and In fact
some OF the help are working overtime.
They considered that It was about time
thattheir former rate OF wages was re-
stored.
The operatives say that the strike was
precIpitatod by the discharge of feeder
named John Mosley and when this be-
came known the discharged carders
stopped work and would moi return unless
Mosley was taken back.
Under the reduction the carders say II is
impossible to make AS much money as is
paid in other mills and that where in
other mills there are four shippers en-
ployCd at the Lorraine there are only two.

The decision grants the technical modi-
fcation of the supplemental order asked
for by the petitioners, while IL reiterates
more strongly the real position taken In
the injunctional order. In reality there il
not point yielded. The order TO strike
out the offensive clause in the supple
mental injunction, taken in connection
with what goes before it, is a delicately
pointed rebuke to the counsel for petition
ers for quibbling over the ambiguity of a
clause, the substance of which was clearly
and strongly stated in preceding SEN
tences
The decision rests upon two PROPOSE
tions, which are elaborately elucidated.
These are the illegal purpose and charac-
ter of the strike which the order was to
prevent, and the authority of the court
to prevent and punish illegal acts.
