delegation Of his state in tie interest of
the canned she'll fish industry. who think
a mistake has been made by the commit
tee in striking out paragraph No. 2l2 OF
the house tariff bill, which reads as fol-
lows: Cans or packages made of tin or
other metal containing shell fish admitted
free of duty. when not exceeding one quart
in contents. shall be subject to duty of
cents per dozen cans or packages, and
when exceeding one quart shall be subject
to an additional duty of cents per dozen
for each additional half quart or fractional
pare thereof"
1t was the intention of the senate COM
mittee to relieve from duty the cans in
which shell fish are packed, but Mr.. Reed
represents that unless there is change
the effect will be to put duty of % per
cent advalorem upon this class of i'm
ported fish. as the proceeding paragraphs
provide that packed fish not especially
provided for in the act shall be taxed to
that extent. Heretofore shell fish have
been admitted free of duty by implication

Joseph Hartman Run Over and Man.
gled by Santa Fe Train.

PoNCA CITY, o. T., March 24-[Special.l
"A distressing and sad accident occurred
in this city last night, which did not be-
come known until this morning about
z O'Clock, at which time the mangled form

scious. He was taken to the station and

where he was employed as freight clerk
but meeting freight train on the way he
attempted to board it, with the fatal result
above recorded. He was quite well known
here and well liked.

formerly lived in Florence, Kan, where
his father and mother still live. The re-
mains W i'll be shipped to Florence tomor-
row morning for iuterment.

THE POLLARD CASE.
Secret Hearing Given Attorneys-op
position to Two Dispositions.

WASHINGTON, March 24-There are two
dispositions to which Miss Pollsrd's at
torneys make strong objections. and Judge
Bradley gave q secret hearing TO both sides
regarding their admission. One of these
is made by Allie Julian. a young blind
man who asserts in the aft davi taken in
Kentucky that a mock marriage was per-
formed between Miss Pollard and himself
at Squire Tinsleys, at Bridgeport, on
Christmas day, 1893. that after drinking
eggnogg freely, he suggested that married
couples usually went to bed. Thereu pom
the two went up stairs and got into bed
together.
Miss Pollard testified on cross-examina-
ton that her uncle accompanied her to
Squire Tinsleys that day and denied the
Incident of a mock marriage.
The second deposition was By w. w.
Roselle to whom Miss Pollard was engaged
to be married in 1884 Roselle deposed
that he took liberties with Miss Pollard in
the library of Wesleyan seminary and
that when he left that town for Chicago,
Miss Pollard begged him to take her with
him. This was during her early Intimacy
with Breckenridge. When cross examin-
ed, Miss Pollard denied that Roselle had
done more than kiss her.
The arguments before Judge Bradley
continued five hours and he took the Ques-
tions submitted under consideration, to
decide them Monday morning when the
court meets again. Miss Pollard's counsel
surprised the defense by making sweep
ing objection to all their dispositions OF
the ground that they had been taken in
an irregular manner.
