''No, must tell this, ''she said, gestur-
ing excitedly.
Miss Pollard, confine yourself to an
swering the questions" her attorney, Mr..
Carlisle, demonstrated.
But if they will persist i'll asking me
about these dreadful things must be per
mitted to tell how false they are she said
excitedly, with symptoms of tears.
Miss Pollard was dismissed after she
had told about these things, and the an
nouncement was made that the plaintiff
rested its rebuttal
For surrebuttal the defense recalled to
the stand Mrs. I.idie, the matron of the
Washington Founding asylum.
Then Colonel Breckenridge was recalled
to deny that he had bought the ribbon to
put on the work basket. He was again
asked whether he had made the statement
to colored Mary Yancey that. he wanted
her to come and cook for him and Miss
Pollard when they went to housek eeping
in the fall. Objection to reopening this
matter made by Mr.. Wilson was sustained.
Objection was also made to reopening the
matter of their relations at Mrs. Hoyts
and Judge Bradley declared that the
plaintiffs denial of that was already
broad. but permitted the colonel to say
that Miss Pollard had never been in his
room there with his knowledge
He denied also that Mrs. Lowell the cap
itol typewriter, had ever written letter
in which he made reference to manuscript
sent him for criticism.
This ended the testimony to the relief
of every body, for it has been drawn out in
a tiresome way for several days The at
torneys arranged to submit their requests
for instructions by the court to the jury on
the legal aspects of the case; then the jury
was excused until Monday.

STRIKERS STEAL DYNAMITE.
The Hungarian Rioters In Possession OF
1000 Pounds of the Explosive.


UNroNTowN, Pa, April 1T has just
been discovered that the strikers have sto-
len 1000 pounds of dynamite from the new
reservoir being constructed on the noun
tain east of Dunbar, and great destruction
of property is expected. The dynamite
was stolen while the workmen on the res
ervoir were absent, the rioters breaking
open the storage house.
The robbery has caused great excite
ment in the coke regions, and many be-
lieve preparations are being made for re-
newal of hostilities. President Davis who
is in Jail, said he would not withdraw his
call for n convention on Saturday and
urges the board to report at the meeting
and arrange for continuance of the strike
He, however, condemns the rioting and
says that it must be stopped. An ugly
feeling is developing, and there are indi-
cations that trouble will break out anew
after if not before the Scottdale convention.

Miners District union, was captured by
County Detective Frank Campbell at the

town. He was found in bed sound asleep
and was awakened and brought to Union
town, where he was placed in the county
Jail, charged with the murder of Joseph
H. Paddock. There was no alarming
change in the situation except that the
strikers commenced to move again in this
section of the region. A meeting was held
at what is known as the "Old College" and
was attended by about 800 strikers. 1t
was decided to meet at Oliver, a short dis
lance north of town, and at midnight to
start for Tricks Brownfield works, where
it was intended to attempt start this
morning.
The authorities are prepared for them.
At the courthouse guards swarmed the

ly occur. as the sheriff will not allow the
strikers to trespass on the company's prop
erty.

HOW 1T WORKS.

The Central Vermont is showing
quite an appreciate increase in bust
ness from the operation of the new
tariff, which gives it carrying
trade with Canada it had not before
enjoyed.-[ Financial column Boston
Advertiser.
1t is cheering to hear of one Yer
mont corporation that is prohting
by the operation of the new tariff.
brings up rather pulling questions
as to what it really means to the
people and industries of the New
England states, when instead of
carrying our products and manu-
features to Canada, our railroads,
as result of tariff legislation, are
doing an increasing business in
bringing to the states the products of
Canada. We leave it to our readers
to figure out the significance and i'm
portance of such movements.
Right to the point is a recently
published circular issued by firm
that deals heavily in hay, straw and
grain and which reports increasing
arrivals of hay from Canada, which
is being offered in Jersey City from
S12 to $13 a ton all duty and ex-
penses paid. According to this cir
cular the effect of recent Canadian

ready fallen off 81 a ton. "There is
no foreign demand" says this
circular, land Canada will market
the bulk of her crop in the United
States, and there is now no longer
any doubt but what our American
farmers have got to come down in
price and compete with Canada"
These statements, let it be noted,
are made in a trade circular solicit
ing business. This question of hay
interests Vermonters When the
new democratic tariff bill became
law the duty on hay was reduced
from So to So a ton, a reduction of
just so per cent from the duty
formerly in force. We leave it to
Vermont farmers to figure out the
probable aggregate loss to them as
a result of this reduction in the
tariff rate and consequent reduction
in the value of one of their staple
products. We opine that it will
hardly be regarded as an Offset that
our railroads are busy and that the
stockholders in them are assured
their regular dividends.

AS SEEN IN THE SANCTUM.

The spirit of vandalism seems to
be increasing in our village, and be-
sides little acts of meanness, our
public buildings and their surround
ings are now the object of some vii
lain's dastardly work. Why pub
lie building, erected by one of our
most esteemed fellowcitizens, should
be damaged in this way is past COM
prehension. Col. Fairbanks gave
the Museum for the benefit of the
young people, and some one now
maliciously defaces the structure, and
destroys shrubbery that took the
gardener four years to bring to the
state of perfection they had reached
before they were destroyed. The po-
lice have taken a hand in the matter,
and we hope they will be successful
in finding the boy who did the dam
age.
We believe that the public expect
too much Of our police and village
trustees, and do not do their duty as
parents in looking after their boys
AS the CALIFORNIAN said a few
weeks ago, in discussing this mat
ter, the parents, and not the police,
must reform the boys. They should
be taught that any such vandalism
as was perpetrated at the Museum
deserves severe punishment, and the
boy that does or countenances such
things should be taught differently.
Our police have regular work to do
during the day, and it ought not to
be necessary for them to patrol the
streets every night to watch boys
that ought to be at home and in
bed.
Readers of the CALIFORNIAN will
rejoice to learn that course of six
lectures is about to be given in Bos
ton on the new philosophy of the
mind in it's esthetic, therapeutic and
ethical aspects. These lectures will
consider the science of psycho-dyna-
mics, psyeho-gnosis, psyche telurgy,
psycho-esthetics, acknowledgements
and psyche ethical culture. Whether
the Boston & Maine will grant re-
duced rates between St. Johnsbury
and Boston during the course is not
announced. Anyhow, the tickets
are only IS cents, which brings this
treat within the reach of
all. Go early and avoid the rush.
