to the District.

OF the afternoon discussing the garbage
problem with Manager Baily representing

tary Company. Manager Baily submitted

tors: Referring to our several interviews
in regard to the contract for the destruc-
tion of garbage beg to submit the follow
ing statement of facts in reference to the
contract which you made with the Ma
tional Sanitary Company: That contract
allowed the destruction of the garbage
within the limits of the District Of Co.
lumbia at a plant erected upon a site Sc
lected and located under and by your au-
thority. The plant was finished at very
great cost and the National Sanitary Com
pany was performing the work in salts
factory manner, as will fully appear from
your report to Congress.
On December 1, 1893. the plant Of said
company was destroyed by fire. Arrange
ments have been made by which the factory
can be rebuilt and the contract carried out,
but We are advised that il Is your desire, as
we'll as that of the people of your city, that
the plant should not be rebuilt upon its pres
ent site, but that il should be removed be-
yond the limits of the District To do TINS
involves great cost and loss to the parties
interested, but il you deem IL best to isolate
no objection upon the part OF the citlzens OF
Washington we are prepared to say that II
you will arrange to give just compensa-
ton for the destruction of this garbage in a
manner not to create a nuisance to the peo-
pie of the District and will make contract
for such a period Of time as will JUSTIFY the
large expenditure necessary to erect plant
to perform the work properly and satisfac-
torily without loss We will make the follow
ing proposition:
The Proposition.
I'VE will transport our garbage, dead AMI
mails and condemned food beyond the limits
of the District of Columbia, and destroy the
same by reduction or cremation for the sum
of $4,000 per annum for term of three
years, or, If the contract can be made for
a period of ten years, we will be willing to
perform the work for $4,000 per annum;
provided, however that a reasonable time
be given to erect a factory, and until said
factory is built, or in the event of the sus-
pension of work at the factory by fire or
from any other cause. We shall be permitted
to dispose Of the garbage otherwise, with
out creating a nuisance.

May, June, July, August and September OF
each year, for the additional sum of $4,000
for said months in each year, respectively,

CAPITOL TOPICS.
Venezuelan Awards.

The Senate committee on foreign relations
had under consideration today bill to pro-
vide for the disposition of the accretions
upon the funds received from the Venezue-
lean government through the Caracas
awards made under the treaty of April -,

States government bonds and the increase
due to interest and appropriation amounts

awards of VeneZula claims made subsequent
to those on which the money has accumu-
lated and credit the Venezuelan government
with this amount. The bill has been favor

"On Miss Pollard's part. and some. un-
| doubtedly, on mine. Miss Pollard, however,
| introduced some things which were not
| down on the bills"
| The defendant then went on to describe
| how Miss Pollard had come over kneeied
down beside him and asked him to name the
| day of their marriage. The defendant had
| said: Il will not name the day." Mrs.
Blackburn had said: Take your seat" and
| the defendant said: No demonstrations
here in the presence of Mrs. Blackburn"
He said the plaintiff had gone step fur
ther than their agreement called for. in un-
| dertaking to have him name day for their
marriage. He resented this and declined to
name day.
Mrs. Blackburn's recital of this interview
quoted herself as saying that she had said
| to the plaintiff that as Mr.. Breckenridge had
stated he would come back and arrange
| with her CMrs. Blackburn) the day of their
! marriage, that should be satisfactory to her.
| The defendant said that that did not accord
with his recollection. The defendant had
stated that he had good deal of business
| to arrange, family affairs, &c, and Mrs
Blackburn had told her that that must be
| SO and the plaintiff ought to be satisfied.
! The defendants recollection of what he
had said to Mrs. Blackburn after she said
she would wash her hands of the whole af
fair was: Il am extremely sorry. L cannot
make an explanation now, but L hope at
some time to make to you a full explana-
/ ton" He had, he said, in his direct eX
emination given as full an account as he
could OF these interviews-as full as he
could without cross-eXamination.
The First Visit to Mnj. Moore.
| Mr. Wilson then called attention to the
defendants first account of the first visit
to the office of Mai. Moore, May 49, 1893
He also called attention to Maj. Moore's ac-
count of the interview Maj. Moore's ac-
count said that the plaintiff said that he
should name a time to marry her, and the
defendant said 'the 31st of this MONTH"
| The defendant said the plaintiff said:
Marry NE; marry me this month";" to
which the defendant said: Il will marry
you the 31st of this month if God does not
irterpose," or 'if God, in His WISDOM does
not interfere"
God did not interpose?" said Mr. Will
son.
God didn't interfere" said the defend
ant; but if He did. L thank Him from the
very bottom of my heart. He probably fur
nished mode by which 1 got out"
| The defendant said he and Col. Moore did
not much disagree in the accounts of that
interview.
Mr.. Wilson then went to the further
statements made by the defendant re-
spectlng the first interview with Mai.
Moore at later period in his direct ex-
animation In this account the defendant
said the plaintiff stated: Il won't Kill you
if you will marry me-" The defendant said
he would not undertake to say that his tes-
timony had covered everything that was
said. 1t was an excited conversation;
sometimes they were both talking together.
He didn't, he said, promise to marry the
plaintiff. ITO use the word PROMISE" he

As to Notices in The Star
did you not have an arrangement by
which notices printed in The Evening Star
would give you information as to the condi-
ton of the plaintiff while she was at Mary
MCkenZieS?'
Il did not answered Mr. Breckenridge.
did you not" continued Mr.. Wilson,
have written typewriter letters, in which
you outlined plan by which veiled notices
printed in The Star would give YOU in
formation of Miss Pollard's condition, the
birth of a child and the condition of the
child, if one was born?"
Il most certainly did not; and IL any
such notices had ever appeared in the press
they would have conveyed no meaning to
me-"
THAT is ALL" said Mr. Wilson, and then
turning to Mr.. Butterworth: You may take
the witness for further examination"
This came rather in the nature of a sur
prise, and at 2:05 o'clock Mr.. Butterworth
took up the redirect examination.
Redirect Examination.
To Mr.. Butterworth the defendant said
he had no knowledge of any such notice be-
ing written or published.
Mr.. Butterworth then asked when and
where he had conversed with the plaintiff
as to her relations with Mr. Rodes and Mr..
Breckinridge said that it occurred once IN
December, 1892, at his rooms here, and dur
ing a walk from his rooms to a house on II
street. She had been found at his rooms
| since her return from Kentucky she had
| been cut or snubbed on the streets; that she
| had no girl friends, and that he must marry
| her. He spoke rather harshly to her, tell
| ing her that he would never take her into
| his family.
| She then said that she would be willing
| to be his mistress, keep out of society and
do his work. She was, she said, good
| typewriter, when he replied that he could
never have her do his work. She grew
! quite excited, saying that she would not
! leave him, and that she would follow him
! wherever he went. He then told her that
! she was pursuing a blackmailing scheme
! when she said that he should not talk In
! that way to her She grew still more eX-
| cited, and exclaimed that unless he then
| promised to marry her, she would create a
| scene. He replied, VERY well. Go on, then
we will both be turned out on the street"
The defendant then recounted at great
length how she calmed down some, and that
| they went down to the II street house, where
| they talked the matter over in a more
| quiet way. Gradually, she again grew more
| excited, and he also became somewhat eX.
cited and angry. He told her again that
| he could not, would not marry her. He
| told her that she had been the mistress OF
! Rodes, and that he would never consent &c
| take into his family the mistress Of another
man. or even a former mistress of his own
| Thereupon, explained the defendant, tn,
plaintln became still more excited and an
cry. and told him that If he did not thcr
and there promise to marry her, she would
open the window and alarm the neghbor
hood.
