In further cross-examination Mr. Will
son brought out the fact that in filling
ont the certificate of marriage of Mrs.
Wing to Col. Breckenridge it was made
to appear that that marriage was the
colonel's second, whereas it was
asked DIR. Paxton not to make
that marriage public, and that after
his marriage with Mrs. Wing. he stopped
at the Hotel LOgerean in New York. reg
istering as VIM. J. Campbell and wife.
Col. Breckenridge could not recall that

grams to Mrs. Blackburn.
First Interview with Mrs. blackburn
Mr.. Wilson then read the direct testi-
mony of the colonel regarding the first
interview Win MIS- DIackDurns upon
which the colonel commented that he
had told the whole truth about it.
Then Mrs. Blackburn's testimony was
read and Mr.. Wilson asked him if il had
occurred, to which the colonel replied
that he had recollected it differently
from the ways he had said it, that she had
construed his expressions Of gratitude
for which she had done in the past into
requests for her protection in the future.
sDo you deny" asked Mr.. Wilson,

"My recollection is that nothing was
said about my wife at thai interview.

colonel said that Mrs. Black burns recol-
lections differed on all those points from
his own. He denied that he had said
plaintiff. and was sure that he
had not said that she sup
posed he was foolish to marry
a woman SO much younger than him
self He was sure that Mrs. Black burn
must have confused things said by the
plaintiff about that matter with what lie

language her understanding Of his
statements. II have no recollec-
tion of that lie said Of Mrs

Uniontown, Pa.
Rioters Make Rush on Mcclure
Companies Works.
A VOLLEY OF SHOTS
Fired by the Guards and a Hun
is Killed.
Foreman Paddock of the Frick
Works is Killed.
Great Excitement Now Prevails
at That Point.

UNIoNTowN. Pa, April 4-The war
between the strikers and the workmen
is now on in earnest, and number of Sc
rious outbreaks are reported
At the Maytield and Donnelly plants
of the Mcclure coke company on the
Mount Pleasant branch, was the scene of
the first pitched battle about 1890 today.
The rioters had assem- bled in large num-
bers and were parading about the works
with cOlOrs flying. The men were work
ing both in the yards and in the pit, and
the strikers asked them to come out No
response was given.
Superintendent Boyle and fifteen arm
ed deputies were in charge of the works
and warned the strikers not to trespaSs.
The rioters paid no attention to it and
made a rush on the works. The first
move called forth d volley of shot from
the guards. and one Hungarian fell NOR
tally wounded
The invaders turned and fed carrying
their wounded companion with them and
leaving the plants in operation. About
fifteen shots were fired. 1t is said some
were fired by the strikers. but they deny
it and say it was an unprovoked assault
upon them by the guards. The rioters
returned to their place of rendezvous and
are rapidly massing men for another at
tack. The greatest excitement prevails
and a pitched battle of greater magni-
tude and with more serious results is ex-
pected.
Armed Deputies Sent.
The Mcclure company is determined
and Superintendent Brennan has tele-
graphed Sheriff Wilhelm here to send on
the next train fifty armed deputies with
all the ammunition available. The
sheriff is now swearing in the deputies
and they viii go at once to the scene of
the conflict. Sheriff McCann of West
moreland was also telegraphed and ar
rived on the grounds at noon with posse
of deputies.
As soon as the deputies from here ar
rive they will be stationed at the three
works, Painter, D0nnelly and MayfieId,
and any attempt on the part of the strik-
ers to interfere with the plants, or in
timidate the workmen will result in a
battle. and the deputies have been in
structed to shoot to kill. The coke re-
gion is now in a more critical condition
than at any time since the famous riots
! of 1891, when so many depredations and
50 much shooting was doue.
! The scene of the conflict has been
transferred to the northern end of the
region and where the workmen insist on
remaining true to their employers and
I all battles will be in that section here

Tomorrow morning an immense mass
! meeting will assemble south of Union
p! town and march from one end of the re-
! gion to the other for the purpose of fore
| ing suspension everywhere. They will

Today Is Election Day in Little
RhOdy-
providence, Il. l., April 4.-Today's
election is the first in this state under the
plurality rule, and hereafter the legisla-
Iure will not be called upon as it has been
SO often in the past, to choose the execu-
tive officers of Rhode Island
The constitutional amendment, pro
viding that candidates having a plural
ify of votes cast shall be thereby elected,
was adopted last December Last year
Baker. the Democratic nominee, had 1S0
plurality over Brown, Republican The
election was thus thrown into the legis-
jority in the senate and the Democrats in
the house, a deadlock resulted, and
Brown and the other state officials of
1892 have held over.
Gov. Brown was a candidate for re-
election today on the Republican ticket
and his Democratic opponent is Mr..
Baker, who opposed him in 1898 The
other offices to be filed are: Lieutenant
governor, secretary of state, attorney
general, general treasurer and adjutant
general.
More important than the gubernatOrial
is the Legislative election for an United
States senator to succeed Nathan F.
Dixon. whose term will expire next
March. The Republicans have now in
the legislature only one majority on joint
ballot, but it is calculated the result of
this election will show a majority of at
least fifteen, aad perhaps more. The
Democrats concede the loss of the legis-
lature and have named no candidate to
Offset the sure nomination by the Repu b.
licans Of Edgar WetFnore.
