On Whose Shoulders VIII IL Fall? He

The racing men among tho local
cyclists have new question TO

champion? Scott won the champions hin
of Rhode Island IN 1880 and has retained II
ever since, without any particular effort
on his part, rs there has been no wheel
man hereabouts who could begin to ride
with him.
Now Scott has taken up his residence i'm
New Jersey, and the title OF fastest
rider in the State has yet TO be
won, and there are a good many aspirants
among the fast ones, young riders,
most OF them, who have APP
peared 70 good advantage and who
might have won the championship
In spite of Scott with another seasons

THE ARGUMENTS BEGUN.
Miss PoIIard's Counsel Presents Her
Case to the Jury.
unchastity is Not Defense When the
Defendant Knew and Condoncd L..
His Marriage No bar TO Recovery.

WASHINGTON, April THE prospects OF
a dry legal argument In the Pollard Breck-
inrIdgs case did not prove sufficiently
attractive 90 draw out even the members
OF the bar To Judge Bradiey's court this
morning. Neither OF the principals In
the case were there.
The proceedings were begun by Mr.. Car
Isle, who read 10 the court the prayers OF
the plaintiff for instructions TO the
Jury. Fourteen distinct instructions
covering every possible aspect OF the case
were asked ofthe court. Stripped OF their
legal verbiage the substance OF the In
structions asked for are as follows:
That this is suit for breach OF
promise OF marriage and if the
jury find from the evidence that
there were mutual promises of marriage
between the plaintiff and defend
ant, il defendant was mar
ried thereafter II constitutes a breach
of promise. III the plaintiff and defend
ant were found to have had any illicit in
tlmacy before the promise of marriage
that would constitute no de-
fence and II she had Illicit inter
course with Others and he knew IL
before he made the promise it, WAS not
a defence. The burden OF proof that there
was to be semblance of marriage contract
with an understanding that there was not
TO be a contract carried out, rested upon
the defendant and the jury must be con-
vinced bya preponderance OF the evidence
that such was the fact. His marriage
was no bar to recovery.

IN THE MINISG REGION.

Toward Washington.
McKErsPoRT, Pa, April THE march
of Coxey's forces through the center OF
the coal and iron industry in western
Pennsylvania was continued, the route
being from Homestead to borough on
the outskirts of the city. The line of
march was past the Carnegie mills,
through Manhall, and by a circuitous,
mountainous detouT through a mining
region, 10 Duquesne.
At the brow of the hill above Duquesne
brass band met the force and escorted IL
90 the town common. Then lunch OF
crackers, cold meats and coffee was
served, the officers dining at hotel. AT
the bridge leading toward McKeesport a
brass band met the troops and headed
them toward camp j. Edd Leslie.
At Reynoldtown the command halted
In an open field. A supper of bread, cof-
fee and meat was served in the open air.
The arrangements for the encampment
are very poor.
The question Of sufficient food is becom-
ing more and more important as the
mountain region will be entered Sunday.
and then the long marches and small
towns will be the order. Coxey claims TO
have enough 10 carry the army through.
Coxey and Brown addressed large
meeting here last night. but the cause of
good roads and reincarnation met with

FOR PURE MILK.
State Will BE Asked TO Grant Liberal
Appropriation and Stringent Laws.

AS result of the visit of the Alder
manic milk committee and Inspector Per-
kins to Boston yesterday to examine
into the system to prevent the
adulteration OF milk, an effort will be
made to secure legislation whereby
the department in this city
may be established upon
mere systematic, thorough and liberal
basis. The city of Boston appro-
pirates something like $4,000 an
nually for salaries and maintenance
OF the office, and it is supplied with
an inspector, chemists, collectors
and book-keeper with special
arrangements to prosecute the investiga-
tion OF violators OF the law. The penalties
are more severe under the Massachusetts
law, the fine for the first offense being $50,
and the second $50, while the maximum
penalty in this State Is S20. The expenses
OF operating the local department do not
exceed $1,000, and the Inspector
and other facilities for the
prosecution OF his work. Since the es-
tablishment of the department there
has been a marked decrease
in the supply of poor milk
and with an adequate appropriation for
its maintenance, more effective and
watchful supervision might be conducted
and the unscrupulous yeomanry pro-
hibited from engaging i'm this unhealthy
traffic

The case Will be appealed. Before adj
5ourning Judge jenkins said az the ques-
tion involved was highly important one,
and 1t was desirable that il should be re-
viewed by court of last resort. he would
gladly cooperate with counsel in taking
steps 20 secure an appeal.
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 iniunctional order In reality there is
not point yielded The order TO strike
out the offensive clause in the supple
mental Injunction. taken In connection
with what goes before ~, is delicately
pointed rebuke TO the counsel for petition
ers for clubbing over the mbiguity OF

and strongly stated in preceding sen

The decision rests upon two PROPOSE

ter OF the strike which the order was 70
