New YORK, March 16.-The Evening
Post says: A certificate filed with the
health department by Rev. DR.. John
K. Paxton, showed that W. @. P, Breck-
inridge married Louisa r. S. Wing,
April 20. 1893. This was a secret mar
riage. The public ceremony took place
last July. 1t is thought this may play
part in the Pollard Breckenridge trial,
as going to show that when he promised
to marry Miss Pollard in the presence of
Colonel Moore, chief of police of Wash
ington, last May, he was not in a posi-
tion to redeem his promise, he being al
ready married.
PTTTsBURG, March 16.-The statement
published in the New York Post today
that Colonel Breckinridge and Mrs.
Louise Wing had been secretly married
by Rev. DR.. Paxton on April 25, 1898,
was confirmed by the latter in an inter
view tonight.
DR.. Paxton has been stopping here for
several months with relatives. Tonight
be stated that the marriage had taken
place on the dat stated, and he sup
pressed the fact to oblige Colonel Breck-
inridge and the bride. In response to
several kilograms as to WIN he

OF the marriage, he said he did it only

PRATT WILL CONTEST.

The Supreme Court Rsfasos to Grant
Mrs. Goodspeod = Writ of Prohibition.
SAN Francisco, March 16.-The su-
preme court today denied the petition
of Mrs. Goodspeed for a writ OF prohibit
.tion directed against the superior court
of Los Angeles county and Judge W. H.
Clark. 1t was sought to prevent Judge
Clark from hearing the petition for the
probate OF the will of the petitioners 8
mother, Mrs. Annie II. Pratt, who died
in Los Angeles on February 14th. Mrs.
Goodspeed secured letters of admins
tration here before the filing OF the will
in Los Angeles, for which reason she
urged that the courts of the southern
county had no jurisdiction. She made
this claim the basis of q motion to dis
miss the Los Angeles proceedings and
have the will filed here. Judge Clark
denied this motion and granted Mrs.
Goodspeed time to file the petition for
a writ OF prohi bition jpst denied by the
supreme court.
The will in controversy at Los Angel ca
WAS produced by judge Mansfield. IT
names Louise G. Gross rs executor, in
conjunction with Charles p. Pratt, son
of the testatrix, now dead. Under the
terms of this will Mrs. Goodspeed is to
inherit nearly one half of the estate.
